Ummm, no.crepesack said:
Only game I have on the list is Metro. The rest I'm not exactly interested in, but for the $6 I gave them I'm happy I now have some more games to add to my "bored of everything else, let's try ____" list which is where most Humble Bundle games I buy go to.
None of those games, save Metro, I'd have paid anything more for individually.
IMO, it's not that, it's a clearance sale and a last grab for whatever money they can get before it goes under.
Your right on the first count and probably on the second as well.beastro said:
I already had everything bar Armageddon and the COH series but I got the bundle anyway, I doubt it'll change anything but at least I tried to help (somewhat).
The main reason why I bought the Bundle is for Armageddon because I finally saw a video of it's gameplay a couple weeks ago, and being 1/7th (or 1/5th if you group the CoH games together), it's worth paying $6 to mess around with its gravity gun, while the extra 40 cents for Saints Row made it worth paying above the average price even though I know I won't find it as amusing as the Second game in that series.Ed130 said:
If I had to pay more for it, I would have passed. Even for $10-$20.
It's no different than visiting the grocery store after Halloween and buying up all the left over packs of candy they want to get rid of dirt cheap. It's why I actually stopped going out on that holiday as a teen and bought tons of the packs afterward because I could pick what stuff I would enjoy and get as much of it as I wanted which made paying for it worthwhile.
I paid 20$ for all these game 10$ to charity, 5$ THQ and 5$ to Tip. Even though I could only use Red Faction and Darksiders (+ I wanted the legit soundtracks). Also that was all the money I had left for this month.
I don't give a toss if they are THQ or not indie. Selling these games for 1$ from THQ is brave move and humble - and isn't that the point of "HUMBLE"-bundle"? They took the risk of greedy people ripping them off from their real value - thats more humility than I can ask from most companies. And also that much faith on their customers should be rewarded. And different steam trading forums have already filled with "Trading these gift keys for X-Hats/Dota item... You name it" That is cheap in my opinion.
This bundle revived THQ's image in my eyes.

I already have CoH and my Laptop cant even run Metro or Darksiders, but I still bought it for $10, with $1 going as humble tip.
I don't know why I would want any of that money going to lazy kids who lay in bed all day, its not like they live in China and make the discs for those games anyway.

What's there not to love about this deal?
I guess people will always find something to complain about.
I donated $10, and that is a pretty sweet deal for all those games (even if I did have Metro 2033 from before).
I hope THQ makes it trough this rough patch.
Keep your eye on your GPU temps folks, titan quest has a serious problem of burning up video cards, and I don't think they ever addressed it.
We know. Is anyone saying otherwise? The title of the article says it, the article says it, and the Humble Bundle at least implies it with the lack of "indie" anywhere in the promotion.Irridium said:
Oh, sweet. I loved Titan Quest, played through it over a dozen times, I still come back to it every summer for some reason I can't really explain. If THQ ever feel the need to make, say, a game with the same class system (which in my opinion is way, way better than the one conventional Diablo knockoffs and Diablo games themselves use), I'm totally buying it. Maybe a norse mythology-themed game in the same setting? Norse mythology is also pretty awesome, yet there aren't many games that embrace it fully. In fact, all I can think of is a ton of JRPGs that borrow some concepts and names and Too Human.
In fact, sat whatever you want about Too Human (it probably deserves all the panning), but I still think that crossing over norse legends with cyberpunk is kind of kickass.

I was just reading up on the game, since I couldn't remember it. Apparently they did address that issue.rembrandtqeinstein said:

I'd feel bad if I offered what I could afford for them... they deserve moreDVS BSTrD said:I would have thought they wanted to reward us for going over the average
Having all the titles from a major developer isn't exactly humble, but then again this IS THQ.
Aww now Titan quest too? I would be throwing money at this but I just bought a 300$ graphics card so I could actually get decent performance and now I have no money for games.
