Some good games there (Valkyria Chronicles is absolutely excellent) but I still don't like this idea. I might have picked this up if I could have ordered it seen but unseen - no thanks (duplicates - games I don't want). Just because its good this month doesn't mean it's good next month. Hope they rethink this and just put this much effort into a regular bundle!

[HolyOne]

Thank god I didn't sign up. I already have most of the games, this would only make me cringe on the wasted money.
Even if I gave the duplicated games away to friends, it would still leave a somewhat sour taste.
Will keep just purchasing the bundles I am interested on.

I don't think you even get duplicate games to give away from humble anymore, if you already have the game then the new version just disappears into oblivion.

It's a nice idea, but it's too much a month for random games which you probably dont want. You can get massive savings on games if you use the price comparison sites. Register your steam wishlist and they email you when the price hits the level you choose. If you just want to give money to charity and dont want anything back, then just give it.

I may be wrong but that may only be for the Origin packs

They stated games not in bundles before, obviously that is now clear, it just means some games may not have been in bundles.

I don't have any and I'm ecstatic (bouncing off the walls) I didn't buy it.

On a serious note, I really did think they would go with a good bundle as an introduction, but meh...

Groupees are poor, infact all bundle sites are struggling to release a good bundle now ( I was late to the bundle scene so don't have of duplicates like a lot of you do, so god knows how it must be for you)

Just wandered in here to express my love for VC... played through on PS3 and loved it. Grinded through VC2 on PSP, and have the VC3 ready to roll, though my Japanese probably isn't up to par!

If you just want to give money to charity and dont want anything back, then just give it.

I've had it happen a couple times on Steam, admittedly not this year. Perhaps the humble folks should make this clearer on the bundle's page. This is one reason I don't get bundles anymore, if I knew I could give a duplicate game away to a hard up mate then the real charity would begin ! (i'm not a fan of giving to american charities)

[Saracen]

Are you tempted?

Frankly, no.

Admittedly, you seem to get quite a lot for not much money, but this doesn't appeal to me for several reasons :-

1) I'm not a fan of subscriptions, and certainly wouldn't sign up for one over games.

2) I'm not a fan of buying sight-unseen.

3) I don't get that much time for playing games anyway, and would rather buy one or two games, and play them until I'm finished or bored. If I got half a dozen a month, I know full well most of them would never get looked at never mind played properly.

4) Fundamentally, Steam is required. Some games have DRM free options but basic requirements include Steam. Without going over the reasons yet again, I'm not buying games that require Steam, and I'm not having a Steam account.

So personally, no, I'm not remotely tempted.

[PorcupineTime]

I was tempted, but I think on balance I'm happier having not bought any. I'd rather just buy the one or two games that people are saying are really good in this bundle and play those, than clog up my steam library with more stuff I'm not even going to touch.

Last time I got a HB there was an option to choose your own charity, from a list of what must be several thousand. Lots of British ones in there. If I get tempted by a HB again I'll go out of my way to pick a UK charity that means something to me.


Not been many good bundles lately, apart from the recent Capcom one.

I've never noticed that before, i'll have a good look next time i'm emailed about the new bundle. Although the chances of a good bundle without any duplicate games are slim these days !

I dont like the idea of paying upfront for games and i dont know what im getting
