Wake me up when September starts! On the first Friday, to be precise...
Just play the demo first to see if there's some effect or anything about that

When Denuvo servers go down when you try to start Berseria, then you'll dislike it too :)
Not-really-jokes aside, it's not as bad as people paint it yet, but its real ugliness can come out in few years when they bankrupt and all the games with Denuvo will require patch...

The trade is crazy! Who will want to swap for this crappy deal? At least make it 1:1 because Rise of the Tomb Raider was into a monthly before
I think you can sell 1 or 2 games or swap them with traders to get RotTR lul

Do you think they will add the Season Pass like Titan Quest in the Bundle? 3:1 is madness but if you think about it. The Season Pass will make up for it. Well it also answers the part which version of Tomb Raider this is. I did not own it nor win it in previous months but I think its just the standard version.
I wanted My time in portia over Staxel tho . . . Not digging the art style. Cheers~

EXACTLY, That is the model I see on Humble. Even for their game bundles and even so, Not all DLCs are sold on Humble, and of course they are available on Steam. One way or the other, they both benefits. Just be that Smart Consumer and look at the deals carefully and consider. Cheers, Cruse ;)

Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration is $69.90 for me. $39.90 for Season pass which means the base game is $30. It makes no sense to trade Sniper Elite with face value of $55.00 and Berseria $59.90. I see Sniper go on sale often enough but even whe Berseria go on sale, like most of the JRPGs they are highly priced and 70% was the max on Steam.
Since I cannot get the previous historical price of RoTR on ITAD, judging by the Celebration version, max discount is 70%. Value wise Berseria alone will cover it, therefore I can see the trade off with the Season pass there. I do not believe those at Humble will not see this trade off difference. It really starts to become a guessing game in this scenario, will you get good value with the Season Pass or More heavier valued games instead.
If there is no Season pass, my perfect dream will be to trade Tomb Raider for Sniper and My time at portia for Staxel. Staxel is basically, 3D-Block Stardew Valley. personally I prefer 2D over Pixel, 3D Blocks(Staxel), Block-Pixels(Minecraft). Have you heard of StoneHearth? Although I recently received a pre-released Key, I think Stonehearth would had been a better choice over Staxel.
Yes, Portia is certainly one of the genre I enjoy though I am not too sure if I want it in a Monthly. Maybe it will be in this Monthly, Hahaha Something like what they had done in Aug Monthly, I am really surprised to see Sudden Strike 4 in it as one of the unrevealed. I am a big Strategy fan so it is up my alley. Although I did not wishlist Forged Battalion but I had bookmarked it as interest. I am shocked noone seems to like SS4 on SG, lol, its being given away like a pin-less grenade. XD If Portia is also bundled, then I would go OMG, although if I win Berseria before the Billing Date, I will not get this monthly.
Regards + Cheers, Cruse :)

Bought a 3 month the other day mainly for Conan. But Tales of Berseria? Nice.

It's not 1:1 change for Rise of the Tomb Raider right ? I'd love to buy that ... But I only want Tales of Berseria from there.

Really want Tales Of Berseria, I'm going to see if I can trade for it :P. If not I'll buy the bundle.

Oh okay, thanks for explaining :). Deleted the link.

I was looking at the unlocks and 1st impression was Sniper trade Tomb Raider, Staxel trade My time in Portia. But I do not even do trades, hahaha. It would be great if Humble to allow so, wet dreams. If only trading is as easy as school mates trading lunch boxes, sigh.

Doing the completionist thing, I always had a hundred million levels more than the story missions wanted. Guess for ultra-ADHD-skip-cutscene-clickclickclick gaming it could be possible.
Grinding doesn't really strike me as MMOifying a game, more like developers having no unique content. Remember Halo, where you had to backtrack across the entire game because no reason (didn't make enough levels) and they had copy pasted rooms glued together to begin with? Halo ain't an MMO, it's just sports fake content.

I think it would be hard to find someone who would not drop one of those three games to get much-more known Tomb Raider
I imagine you'd have an easier time finding someone willing to trade Rise of the Tomb Raider for Berseria, than the other way around. While Tomb Raider does indeed likely have wider overall recognition and (as of the current series) respect among gamers, the Tales series is a popular JRPG franchise that is nearly as recognizable as Final Fantasy among JRPG fans, and is far, far less prone to bundling and discounts than Tomb Raider games.
I for one would absolutely never trade Berseria for RotTR, and that with RotTR being one of my very most top-wishlisted games.
It's.. simply not a good trade.

I am glad I responded to your post, as your clarification sounds a lot better than your original post!
If you had won the game from me, I would have been really upset by your post!
If we could know more things in advance.......
We can wish for that, but highly doubt it will make our lives better.
I am very pleased myself with Berseria in next Monthly!
You could always do as Luckz suggested: pay it forward and give someone else a chance at this great game!

I guess Kindness begets Kindness? Of sorts? You have received a gift and its an opportunity now to forward that kindness? I wish we knew ahead of time too. My wish is slightly lower, if only we knew what is coming out for the rest of the unreveals, nowadays its more irritating than a surprise . . . >__< And due to region constrictions we cannot give away freely either . . .

I understand from your 1st statement of your intent. I try not picture it in an offensive manner but that's just me. From internet posting experience and general texting. I will say Words are just Words, it is how the person that read your words to interpret the manner of words..Most of the time I post in big blocks because I did not want to misinterpret myself. However, not everyone bother reading! hahaha
No Worries, just be a little careful of how you phrase your intentions in the future, just a little. ;) Cheers, Cruse~

Sorry if I sounded like an ungrateful prick, that wasn't my intention.
That's usually the intention of such comments here on SG, unfortunately, so it really does help to be excessively careful in clarifying that you're not "one of those types". :/
If it's something you feel is worth the effort, you do have the option of offering your new copy of the game (and perhaps something extra to make up for the hassle of however many rerolls they'll need to do) to the person you won from, and see if they're willing to reroll off the new copy you're offering them for that purpose.

I don't know, I want both Sniper Elite 4 and Tomb Raider. Kinda stupid to get one or the other.
Don't care much about the other two games.

Get the 3 games. You can quite easily trade Berseria for Tomb Raider and then you'll have both games you want + Staxel as an extra

I already have Rise of the Tomb Raider, and Tales of Berseria is on my wishlist... easy choice for me.
Comment has been collapsed.
The Sniper Elite series is one of my favorites. Already played 4 on console, but I most certainly wouldn't mind another play through on PC. I've also had my eye on Staxel since it came out.
Don't give a crap about Tales of Berseria though.

what's up with this one? they are asking me to chose between 3 games or 1 game that has already been bundled in a monthly? WHat's the point

Because people are subscribing to get it every month to not miss out on good stuff. If everything was revealed, it would just be another bundle which might sell less if people don't want most of the games. Also loot crates and other scams might give you nothing of value at all which is why they are gambling. This gives you always 10-20x worth of games for your money so it's quite different. Just because you might not like them doesn't mean they are worthless.
Comment has been collapsed.
well, due to the fact that I'm in Russia and there are often region-locked games offered - I may get something worthless for me without a possibility to trade or sell it because of region-lock
and other interesting fact - I still don't understand how is that fair when everybody pays the some, but some get region free keys and others - locked keys (or even worse - another game which they may not be interested and can't trade or sell due to region-lock)
Comment has been collapsed.
I could also say it's totally unfair that you get to buy games for next to nothing as regular prices. You should be forced to pay EU prices so it would be fair and you would get unlocked keys. Sadly region locks are made up by the devs or distro of a game, not bundle sites so there is very little they can do if they want the game in the bundle.
Comment has been collapsed.
It's not a random loot crate. Everybody (from a region) gets the same games. The games are (95% of the time) valued appropriately so that it's a really good deal, and not spending $2 to get a $0.03 CSGO item. Your analogy doesn't work in any way, shape or form.
P.S.: They used to reveal 1, now they do 3, and you're complaining.

В казино совершенно другая модель ведения бизнеса. Там ты отдаёшь деньги и получаешь(скорее всего нет) шанс выиграть ещё больше денег. На хамбле же, есть "ранние открытия", которые сами по себе стоят дешевле, чем их можно было когда либо купить и плюс игры в конце месяца.
Comment has been collapsed.
аха-ха, сразу запахло "эмейзингом энд экспириенсом", которые приводятся в пример, когда спрашивают почему яфон стоит в 3-5 раз дороже себестоимости
Было бы правильно тогда делать так - 8 баксов первые две недели и видишь только 1 игру;
10 басков - следующая неделя и видишь 3 игры до покупки
12 баксов - последняя неделя и тебе показывают 5 игр
И "уникальность и отличие" остались бы и людям (ну, по крайней мере, мне) было бы легче определиться
Comment has been collapsed.
ну, я считаю это много за залоченные игры, купленные, по сути, вслепую
чтобы понять много это или нет, нужно учитывать рос.цены в стиме на конкретные игры.
например, the surge лучше получить в бандле, а Escapists 2 и Conan мне, в общем и целом, и по 2 бакса не нужны, поэтому и говорю, что непоянтно, стоит бандл брать или нет, соответственно, я считаю, что это казино
да, можно спорить, что дескать здесь у нас гарантированный выигрыш, но, если бы, не было The Surge, SS4 и KONA, а какие-то другие игры, которые мне не нужны (и которые, возможно, залочены), то тогда какой же это выигрыш в моем случае ?
Comment has been collapsed.
let's make it easy for you too: I can walk with bunch of games which either region-locked or I have no interest in because I have no idea what the whole pack would look like untill time comes - that's exactly like a casino because you have no idea either you won or lost untill its certain. Once again - apart from games themselves I can get games which are region-locked and I can't do anything with them if I don't want them.
Comment has been collapsed.
gosh, that's what I'm trying to explain - i'd say shit if there are no region-locks presented, but here's the example - let's take it with August bundle:
I want A Hat in Time, have no interest in Conan and Esccpists 2 is region-locked, so, no buy because Conan is an expensive game, A Hat in Time is popular game and there are huge chances that other games will be not that great (by the way, did you notice that I'm talking about chances like in... casino)
Time comes and they reveal SS4, The Surge and KONA - I'd have bought the bundle instantly if they were revealed early , but what are the chances, right ?
Comment has been collapsed.
Возможно они и заложены (по моему мнению это полный бред локить игры, где цена бандлов у всех одинаковая), но хамбл считает, что игры нужно использовать только в личных целях, тоесть покупателю по их мнению должно быть все равно на регион лок.
Comment has been collapsed.
так дело-то в том, что нам не может быть все равно - мы же всех игр не видим и, получается, не знаем будет там игра (игры), которая (ые) уже есть или нет, а если они залочены и я сделать с этим ничего не могу (в отличие от тех, кто получает ROW-ключи), то тогда как мне понять стоит брать или нет - вот, я и возмущаюсь, что конкретно для тех, кто получает залоченные ключи это выглядит как казино.
кстати, если бы они заботились о "личных" целях, то лочили бы всех, но европу и америку что-то не лочат
