I know there are already threads on this.
I rue subscribing to humble monthly and cancelled my subscription almost instantly. What about you guys?
I also would like to know if the games are going to be counted as bundled or not

Humble monthly, yay or nay?

I regret this decision / not falling for it / never
I loved it / I wish I had subscribed / I'll subscribe

I didn't have SRIV, Besieged, Towerfall, or LoG2 so it was a big win for me.

Also, Valkyria Chronicles: 4LIL4-V7(three)LX-LYFNN

I had every game but Besieged and Sanctuary (Well and Grimrock 2), most the games were ones I had purchased during the summer sale. I see no reason to unsubscribe due to the fact that 1. What if due to the complainers the next one is the greatest thing in existence 2. I can trade these decent games for other games I don't own 3. And finally a portion goes to charity. So I see no reason to unsubscribe do to what seems to be a disappointing bundle.

Well it could also be another 6 duplicates. It just seem that this bundle does not pack the punch for a 12$ mystery bundle. Now, if Transistor was in there (as rumored) it would have been a totally differenet story.

With the Rand being so weak I'm seriously considering just cancelling the monthly bundle. Will maybe try it another month and see what we get but currently it doesn't seem worth it. I had to give most of the games away because they didn't interest me and with that R170 I could have bought something great.

I'm also optimistic but it looks like most people are not. It all depends whether the VAT will be consumed by Seam or not. Though if you look at XBox Live, the games in Rand are cheaper than the games in USD.

I had only Saints Row from it, so I guess I am not very disappointed. The only sad part for me is that it didn't include Transistor.
And I completely agree with what SamOxnar said, you can always trade the games which you don't like or just giveaway them.
So I won't unsubscribe, because I also like gambling :)

Similar sentiments on the game front but swap Valkerie Chronicles for SR4. Will be giving it away so all good :) Mind you I don't generally gamble but still enjoyed the gambling aspect of this .. :)

Well even adding in Grimrock 2 they aren't even 90% off so possibly not on the "bundled" nerf, but I don't know if that's the sole qualifier... maybe someone else can give a "real" answer

I mean.. it is 88% off. I think that is close enough to 90 to be OK if that is your standard.

My mistake, I thought CyberEvil was making a statement about how they aren't even 90% off but it was a post directed at the 95% qualifier for bundles.

9 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

it's 95% off in any region (so a $8 game that's discounted to $0.4 in RU will make it bundled).
tier 1 (usually $1 bundles) will make all titles bundled.
price exploits or cumulative discounts (like some coupons that can be applied on steam sales).

there's probably more reasons but i don't remember :3

Comment has been collapsed.

Yea but humble is the same price in any region I think?

So going by that criteria, they should NOT end up being a "bundled title" (unless they were already at that level)

Received what I expected - but there were no positive surprises. I unsubscribed as planned, and may re-subscribe for the second one.
No I don't think the games will become bundled, because they don't hit the 95% rule and this is also a rather expensive bundle.

Well, there's no in-between option. I didn't regret the decision, but I didn't love it.
I only got one game I wanted (Grimrock), and the rest I didn't have but didn't want.
So...more gibs.

To be fair, I wonder how many of those who actually purchased it voted that they regretted it - rather than people who didn't sign up and are, instead, glad they didn't. I bought it and no remorse here. I didn't have any of the games and a few were on my WL.

I'm not happy with it really, but I did already have LoG2, VC and Sanctuary, which doesn't help. It's the danger with this whole deal: you'll inevitably own some of them if you're into games to a reasonable extent but then if you're not, you wouldn't be buying an expensive mystery bundle in the first place!

The thing that's really annoyed me is the vanilla SRIV. Firstly, I get the "low violence" version in my region and then the upgrade and franchise packs aren't available to me, so I'd have to individually buy the dlc. Considering it's practically a vehicle for dlc at this point with a damn cheap base game, it's kinda insulting to not get the Century edition at least.

I personally am disappointed. I didn't own any of the games but still overall overvalued IMO.

Their big selling game for the $12 was Saints Row 4 when last month the entire Saints Row Franchise was on sale for $16.

I figure I am going to give it 2 more months through the holiday season to give them a chance to do something with it. I am broke as crap, but still $12 isn't too big of a deal I am hoping.

Edit; Still able to get it now

Eh! I'll stay subbed for one more month to see if it's any better....The bundle wasn't bad...just that I had most of the games...in fact, I bought VC fairly recently...so, it wasn't that worth it to me...but only cause the "Good" titles, were already titles I had...If they weren't it would have been well worth the money.

Well, all i can say is i'm happy i didn't buy it. If this is the best they can put together for the first month, the month that was supposed to drawn in as many customers as possible then i'l probably not miss anything by never subbing.

If SRIV was the game of the century edition, I think a lot of people would've felt better. I myself only owned SanctuaryRPG, and I'll do something with SRIV and get the GotC edition instead. Overall a win for me.

SanctuaryRPG: Black Edition was in some greenlight bundle (so I already have it), not sure about Lethal League being in the bundle. Still there were many great games from my wishlist so I am happy and will stay subbed to see at least next 1 bundle.

I was disappointed mostly. I only had SR4, so not a BIG loss, it's just that something tells me these games will all show up at a better rate in upcoming bundles now.

Also-- I guess I was mistaken, but I swore this was supposed to be all NEVER EFORE BUNDLED games. I'm about 99% sure that SanctuaryRPG was in a Humble Bundle not too long ago... /salty

When you get down to it, we just paid $2 each for these games. Some less worth that than others... (SanctuaryRPG in particular). I was really hoping there would be better games, or just more in general. I'll stick around for another month, but may just opt out in favor of trading for the leftovers of my choice. :D

That was just a trick, trying to trick you into subscribing. They never bundled it, so they called it "unbundled"... pretty shady, if you ask me. So I bet it was bundled somewhere else before.

That's the thing-- I swear it was bundled right on Humble Bundle itself. It was in a higher tier I didn't find worth it.

And, yes-- I do see a record of the game being bundled "1" time before. I can confirm that part. I guess I'll try looking into that past Humble Bundle, though. THAT would be shady..

BTW - The lowest sale prices of the current Monthly Bundle's games comes up to about $30. Technically, not a rip off, just no exciting games. Besiege is the only one I'm really happy to see, but that's already very cheap on Steam.

SanctuaryRPG Black edition was featured in the "RPG Edition: Book II" humble weekly bundle. SR4 was in "Humble Jumbo Bundle 3". They bundled both the previously bundled games.

Yeah, it was something along "discover new, not bundled before games", which sounds like it will be all new, but it's true even if there's 1 not-bundled game every month.
