๐ Happy New Year, everyone! ๐
I like this one. First two are wishlisted. I don't get why people are offended by it?

There's so much AAA you can get before they are either too old (and people would complain about that even if they were excellent titles otheriwse), or publishers request a price to have them in bundles so high, it's not worth it.
I'm ok with that because to me, bundles are still mostly about the mid-to-small productions, altthough I can understand the need for some traction.

Seems like there are a lot of games in this bundle with horror aspects / themes.
Last month was filled with games with anime aspects / themes.
Wonder if they're slowly moving towards turning choice into a theme'd bundle?

I'm in favor of this. I was pretty calm about pausing last month - there was so little I wanted, it was an easy call. Having loose themes to the bundles, which is probably partially a coincidence based on what developers they're working with, is a pretty good way to go for the customers.

I was regreting it for a bit, seeing that i don't recognize any of the titles except vampires (well there are some others, but the top 4 doesn't interest me in particular). But after seeing it again, it seems that the bottom ones are pretty good so i'm okay with it. Not sure how it goes tho. Hopefully it won't be that bad.

Is it worth taking this for pathologic and pc building sim alone?
(Not super into horror due to nightmares I get.)

this is worse than last month, and it was a bubble month for me. I have Ancestors, and building computers is work not fun. It just doesnt hold enough water for me.

Ancestors. Nice. Been a wishlist game for some time now.
Comment has been collapsed.
Ancestors was on my wishlist, so I'm happy, and it's only slightly above historical low price (I'm on Classic).
Tales of the Neon Sea and Pathologic 2 also look fun. World of Tanks is not my thing but It's made a friend happy, so good enough. The rest goes on the (admittedly no longer playable in one lifetime) backlog.
Overall a decent deal.

Vampire:Shadows of NY makes me wish I hadn't missed Vampire:Coteries of NY... sure they're supposed to be standalone, but I like doing things in original order.
Who am I kidding though, it's not like my backlog isn't already decades long, heh.

is an awesome bundle for my tastes, song of horror+pc building simulator,+minoria+pathologic 2 are enough for me

Was definitely a lot more excited about last month's, but this has some games that look like they could be cool. Not bad for $6, though. :)
Activated Ancestors, Chaosbane, and Minoria to start with, but will probably activate at least a few more, haha.
Probably not the Horror or Pathologic, though.

I feel you. Pathologic 2 is very long game, 28 hours long according to howlongtobeat and lets say its not your cup of tea, you likely gonna drop it. For some other games that are anywhere between 5-10 hours, you can at least force yourself to finish it. Like Ancestors is 11 hours long, Chaosbane is 10 hous long, Minoria is 5 hour long. I swear there was so many times, where boredom hits you at around 5~ hours and I don't see myself playing 20 more in Pathologic 2 case :D

Song of horror is worth 6 dollars by itself. And there are a lot more good games but i understand they are not for everyone.

Silly question but I would appreciate an answer.
Region locks are a bit confusing to me, but I bought the HB monthly in the US, does that mean it can be activated anywhere?
I assumed it was like ROW: RU (Can be activated anywhere except RU.)
The term run lock is also unfamiliar to me, does that mean I can only trade it with people in my region?
thank you for reading.
โ ๏ธ Region lock โ ๏ธ
Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey
RU/CIS: {491193} + RUN LOCK!!!
China: {491194} (or {491195}) + RUN LOCK!!!
SEA: {491195} + RUN LOCK!!!
LATAM: {491197} + RUN LOCK!!!
Everyone else: 491198 (WW, no run locks, can be activated anywhere)
Comment has been collapsed.
Think of it like this:
If you're not in the regions listed as locked (RU/CIS / China / SEA / LATAM), then you're in "Everyone else" which receives "WW" (="worldwide" = anyone can activate it).
I usually use ROW to express the regions that are not locked (ROW = rest of the world) which is pretty much equal to WW. I noticed that people prefer to use "ROW" instead of "WW", so I usually go with that, but the more correct term to use is "WW".
There are cases in which ROW is not equal to WW, namely when a key can be activated anywhere, except from one country (encludes only Japan for example).
"Run lock" means that it can be run only in the countries belonging to that specific region.
So for example a Russian customer will get a RU / CIS key that he activates on his RU account, but if he goes outside RU/CIS region, he won't be able to start the game.
I hope this is a bit more clear now.
US receives keys without any locks in most of the cases. When US receives a locked key, you'll see "NA" listed among the regions lock, in the OP.

How does it confuse people, though? I mean, depending on your subscription you have the "choice" to pick whichever game(s) you want. Even if you have a subscription that grants you all games, you still have the "choice" whether you want to redeem all of them or not. :)

LATAM is
Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, Paraguay, Uruguay, Nicaragua, Panama, Bolivia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Guyana, Suriname, Belize

Pretty good bundle from my point of view. It does cover very different genres with interesting titles.
