Humble Bundle Tier 3 - spending money on myself? [Update]

I'm sure you'd have no problem winning it! (^w^)

Also, the difference between tier 2 and 3 is over 6 bucks, and I think 6 bucks is a bit much for just that one.

When I set the goal to win a specific game I mostly never do.
No matter how many giveaways I enter or if entries are as low as 20.
So if you really, really want it - buy it.

Buy and gift it to yourself. :3

You are a lucky guy so try to win it first :)
10 bucks for Hong kong is in my opinion, expensive.
If you can´t wait for the steam summer sale. Check first in Nuveem.

I'd wait for a sale if I were you. Shouldn't take too long to reach 80% off, or even better, another bundle.

I don't know which groups you are part of but if it was me I'd buy the bundle if it's a wishlisted game. I always regretted not buying a wishlisted game when there was a good deal. (Eg. Ori and the blind forest & Hyper Light Drifter T-T)

Try to win it and if you don't get lucky, buy it after two weeks. Steam summer sale is just around the corner, better try to save money.

I'm not really frugal but decided against buying for tier 3 only. I'm sure it will be cheaper in the summer or winter sale. I guess it depends on how much the $ value is to you vs how desperate you are to play it right now. I know I won't play it for at least a few months.

The Shadowrun publisher isn't opposed to bundling, but seems to take a good while to bundle a game.
So if you can wait, wait. If you really enjoy the games and want to support them, buy it and direct the funds toward them.

Personally, I think the jump up in price is just way too high between BTA and T3 on this one: 6-7$ increase, and you're likely to be able to get the game soon enough for 4-5$ during a Steam Sale- perhaps even as early as the upcoming Summer Sale,

If you are gonna play it right away, yes. In any other case don't buy it :)

Tier 1 - meh, usually safe to buy although poor games
Tier 2 - decent if quality games + you'll play them right away / within the very near future
as for Tier 3, usually these aren't much better than 50-75% off sales (and sometimes way worse than that) and you'll most likely grab a much better deal just waiting till the Summer Sale or similar. Only get it if you are so impatient to play it that you can't wait a few weeks.
(Of course the advantage is that you get tier 1+2 for free, so you can always trade/gift those, but in your particular case it sounded like you didn't want those games anyway.)

Well, I did the same with Capcom's last bundle and DMC 4: Special Edition. In the end it just goes down to your own opinion on how much you want that game vs your frugal(ness?)ity. And, yeah, I'm very frugal too. ^_^

Rather buy it. The rest, if you don1t want at all, are not that good for CV, and Shadowrun HK has had lower prices before. Heck, it was cheaper in the Humble Store this month…

Don't do it keo, just wait a bit more for the sale

Play Dragonfall, it's amazing :)

I'd say wait for summer sale and pick it up on discount, however considering that the last discounts were at 50% which made it 10€ which is about the price of Tier 3 HB which not only gives you that game but also others, you might as well get the bundle.

Then again if other games in the bundle don't interest you (I can't blame you) and if you wouldn't play it anytime soon than I do agree with your decision about not getting the bundle.

I'm debating the same purchase and I was going to just say what the heck and get it. I suppose it could get to 75% off this year. After reading these suggestions, I changed my mind and decided to try to win it in the next few weeks since I can still upgrade my BTA bundle later, right? ;-)

If you want it mate, just do it.

All the terrible things going on in the world, you shouldn't feel bad for wanting to have a good time with a new game

Just do it, Hong Kong is pretty good, although not as good as Dragonfall in my opinion. I will get tier 2 of this bundle, it has 4 games i'm interested in.

That game is in the puzzle pyramid... solve the puzzle join a low entry ga for it!

This is what I usually do in those situations. I buy the tier 3 anyway and then try to win the game I wanted from it if I have no plans to play it immediately and keep the bundle for gibs. That way I feel good about winning it (if I ever do) and have some nice game for gibs also ^^ I still have keys for Big Pharma and whatever else was in the tier 3 from that bundle because of that.

I stopped buying games because I won't play them soon, so good call :P

I'd wait for summer sale.
