Will you be buying this bundle? Which tier?
I am from Germany. Does someone know if it would be possible to make a giveaway for the German version of The Darkness II (since I own that already)?
Comment has been collapsed.
You can use the new region restriction "Germany" that was recently added. Not sure if people from other counties would be able to activate the key but I'd assume they would rather not want to get the low violence version anyway (although it's apparently easy to disable).

So WTF is wrong with these people? Mafia II advertised as "Mafia II: Digital Deluxe Edition" (including its special extras: Made Man Pack, Digital Art Book, Orchestral Soundtrack and Digital Map of Empire Bay) but it's in fact "Mafia II: Director's Cut" and it screws your old DLC of the OST if you redeem it and you already had the original Mafia II. Neat.
And region lock and censorship without any warning in the bundle page. Double neat.

It gives you the 7 DLCs, but none of the Digital Deluxe contents (Made Man Pack, Digital Art Book, Orchestral Soundtrack or Digital Map of Empire Bay) :/
According to madjoki, if you already owned the original release of Mafia II it will also overwrite it, losing some of the in-game music that they didn't re-license for re-release.

WHAT? :( that is false adverting then, HB clearly says it includes the Digital Deluxe content
Comment has been collapsed.
I guess so. I wonder when they will realize the mistake and wether they will give Digital Deluxe Edition keys to previous buyers who got the Director's Cut, or change the Mafia II description in the bundle page.
I feel that the Mafia II Director's Cut (including the 7 DLCs) is better than the Digital Deluxe Edition (you would have to buy the 7 DLCs separately). But since I already had the Mafia II original game, I'm not sure I would rather have received the Digital Deluxe Edition, since the only way to obtain its contents is to buy it. Yes, now I own the 7 DLCs (and a new version of the base game, with a different in-game soundtrack), but if I wanted the Digital Deluxe Edition extras I would have to buy it (again). What a mess.
BTW, I made a backup/copy of the Mafia II original files before redeeming the Director's Cut key, in order to preserve a copy of the original version of the game (including the old soundtrack). Though I'd rather have both ("Mafia II" and "Mafia II: Director's Cut") in my library, since I paid for both. I don't like to lose the old version of the game.

The DLCs are bad, plain and simple. The players would be better off with the map, art book, and OST, than a bunch of terrible cars and 3 free-roaming packs that replay the same three mission types over and over without any story or incentive to ever finish them.

Wow, great bundle. Can't wait to see what the extra stuff we get later is. Not sure if I should buy it or trade stuff for pieces I don't have. I want Borderlands The Presequel and The Darkness II, but I don't think I would play anything else here.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well I'm planning to get this bundle and both of that games are already in my library maybe we could trade them
Comment has been collapsed.
You might also check the Group Buys Steam group besides Barter. It's very likely you can buy Dakness II for $0.34 and Borderlands The Presequel for $2.50-$4.33 there.
Comment has been collapsed.
T3 price beats Borderlands Pre-sequel's lowest recorded price by a US dollar / a few euros.
Since I have that on my wishlist, I probably should get this; also since Darkness 2 and Spec-Ops have been on my radar for a while now. And Mafia II seems to be a classic that I missed so far.
Comment has been collapsed.
I got Borderland The Pre Sequel off steam for £3.60, from the bundle page. I forgot all about it and purchased T3 in error :D

Great thanks Rachel for this great thread with great updates about the great games bundled :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Okay, cheers. I assume I just need to make a note about the region restrictions in the giveaway description then?
Comment has been collapsed.
Basically, you would put no restrictions. It seems that Germany can play the unedited game when bought outside Germany
Comment has been collapsed.
Doesn't include the Deluxe DLC though I hear :( was going to get the bundle for that game but now idk
Comment has been collapsed.
I haven't managed to find anyone who has an actually working key or gift that adds that one missing Made Man DLC. (On the other hand, only 2, maybe 3 of the 8 DLC cards are worth more than a pile of dung in the game; they handle terribly and they cannot even be sold. At least they don't take up garage space.)
Comment has been collapsed.
Although I would love to play Mafia 2 and I'm always tempted when I see that more games will be added, I don't think I'll BTA. Don't want to spend that much (probably a bit more than $10 CDN) on a bundle, unless HB add something truly amazing (in my eyes) next week. The first tier will do just fine, Spec Ops has been on my wishlist for a long time (or so it seems to me) and The Darkness 2 looks like it could be fun, even for someone who's not that much into FPS.
Comment has been collapsed.
Ah yeah, Group Buys, thanks for reminding me... ^^ I might try to get Mafia 2 from someone splitting the bundle. or maybe I'll wait to see what the other games are, the mystery ones I mean.... and go for the BTA? Anyway I'll keep an eye on GB, that's for sure
Comment has been collapsed.
The BTA is still increasing ($8.22 right now). If you can find a bundle split active from someone who got it at a lower price, I'd go for it, since the price for individual (split) games will also increase accordingly to the BTA purchase price. The mystery games will also be available in the Group Buys steam group next week, in case you are finally interested in any of them :) Again, if you keep an eye on the group threads and you are fast, you will be able to get them from sellers who got the bundle at a low BTA.
Comment has been collapsed.
so with the Mafia II key do you get access to all the Deluxe Content through steam?
Comment has been collapsed.
Both Mafia 2 and Battleborn are completely unavailable in Japan. http://i.imgur.com/65RaTTy.png

So, I was just creeping on your page and noticed this was you're first post! Just wanted to say welcome to the forums! :)
Comment has been collapsed.
No one should be marking it as received since it's not the correct version. Since it was a simple misunderstanding due to Humble mislabeling it all giveaway creators should be deleting their active giveaways and making them just for the base game or wait for support to add the Directors Cut if that's an option. All giveaway creators whose deluxe giveaways have ended will need to submit a ticket to change the giveaway to the base game or Director Cut with the agreement of the winner.
Comment has been collapsed.
have a question. a friend of mine went to buy the bundle and the price was in 7,68 so he paid 7.70 o somathing like that, when the payment was processed the average was in 7.71 but he only get the first tier keys, there's a solution about that?
Comment has been collapsed.
you can pay more after so would put you on tier 2 or 3
Comment has been collapsed.
If they didn't refresh the page before going to the payment it should have been fine. It will also warn you before proceeding if the amount you have chosen will cause you to miss out on games. You can increase your order amount to get all games for this bundle after you have purchased it anyway.
Comment has been collapsed.
yeah increased pretty fast a lot of peeps must have thrown some $$$ at it

I wanted to get the $15 tier, but I think I can wait these couple of months when battleborn is f2p.
Comment has been collapsed.
I just bought NBA 2K16 too ;.;
Good bundle though. I suppose it was only a matter of time before Battleborn was bundled. It's probably gonna hit F2P before the year's up.

More like Gearbox and their CEO flipped their shit and thought they are the new coming of CyberJesus, and 2K not having enough brains to re-evaluate the entire business plan until it was too late. To their credit, they are handling damage control well so far. They may get their money back eventually.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, I cannot blame a manager for having healthy ego. Thing is, Randy's ego inflated so much over the past years, I honestly think they can track him from the ISS without a camera lens. Gearbox needed to be humbled before they even announced the next Borderlands.
Comment has been collapsed.
Battleborn was hyped as Borderlands-meet-Moba which tbh is... completly wrong because Battleborn got nothing from Borderlands? Story mode? Build turrets, defend this, escort that , oh look a boss. Looting? Sure... here have some items with 1-2 bonuses( sometimes 3 but you get a debuff) , now put them in the loadout(3 items only) and bam, play the game and activate them to ... see that it barely makes a difference(kinda like in Aarklash Legacy) . Shooting? Yeah, its probably alright though hard to see the enemies weak spots.
Skills and level up? 1 passive, 2 active and 1 ultimate.. level up from 1 to 10 and pick one of 2(3) options per level and enjoy.
Battleborn is much closer to Heroes of the Storm than to Borderlands and frankly... I doubt that Overwatch is the main reason for Battleborn to fail.
Comment has been collapsed.
Battleborn may not be Borderlands, but when it was released, I forgot about it and actually asked on a Twitch stream that if they released some new Borderlands DLC or what. The SP screams that it was made by the same devs. Like how you could tell instantly who made Bloodborne, no matter how vehemently the fans tried to explain otherwise.

Thanks for the answer^^
so Budapest huh? make me remember the film and george ezra song. absolutely 1 of my top wishlist destination. is the city look as good and happy as internet picture it?
[im checking profile before say thanks to show that i really mean the "thanks", not some stalker... or maybe i am...]
Comment has been collapsed.
Because, like most capitals, the city is beautiful as long as you don't have to experience it for too long and if you stick to the places kept for tourists. Luckily, Budapest can offer things for almost any kind of tourist, from party-seeking young people to pensioners wanting a few nice walks and visiting some quiet cultural places.

Thanks for the answer^^
really like to see discussions bout marketing strategy. How you rated the game from 1 to 10?
and btw, what is that u use as profile picture?

Hm.. let me see.. if it wasnt always-online 6.5 ... with always online 3 ... Just lost 1 hour because the server decided to go nuts and didnt count the last mission as completed so cant progress the story until I replay it ... fun times.
and about the profile pic: I'm a brony(aka MLP fun but trust me, even I stay away from the freaking fandom) but this one isnt part of the show, just something I created with an app.

Also make sure you set Mafia II as the base game, in case you missed the comment where using the 2016 version will be marked as un-activated in SGTools.
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, they can leave it unmarked and report you technically as you didn't deliver the correct version game to them. But they might not be able to enter Sgtool GA's, and if anyone checks a public GA with it, they can get suspended reported/ potentially re-rolled for not having activated wins in the past month.
Comment has been collapsed.
The Japanese edition (which is a separate store item/product).
Correction: Japanese cannot get it… looks like, HB probably didn't know about it and never got Japanese keys.
Comment has been collapsed.
I just bought for tier 1, even though I already owned The Darkness II. The bta price was already too high for me when I purchased (over $7) and I already owned Civ V and Mafia II base game from that tier anyway, so not good value to bta for me.
Comment has been collapsed.
you get one code for MAFIA II? or one for DLC one for base game?

Q+A:
Q1: If I wait to buy the bundle, will the BTA Price go up? (Tier 2)
A: YES, the BTA price WILL INCREASE. This is because as people pay MORE than the BTA price to buy Tier 2 or higher, they BTA INCREASES as time goes on.
The BTA does NOT* go down
Q2: What is "increase your order"?
A: This is "increase your order"
Q3: What is locking the BTA?
A: Locking the BTA means that at the time of purchase, whatever the BTA price is at that time (i.e. Let's say its $5.50), this will be your BTA price forever. Simply buy Tier 1 of the bundle for $1, and if you want to increase your order in the future, you will only have to pay the difference between $1 and $5.50 + $0.01, meaning if you want the games in the BTA tier, you will pay only $4.51, even if the current BTA price on the bundle page is $6, for example (the BTA price changes depending on the AVERAGE $$x that people are buying the bundle at. The BTA fluctuates, and usually increases over time as more people pay higher prices for the bundle).
Q4: What is "Pay more than the average vs. Pay $XX or more"?
A: This is "Pay more than the average vs. Pay $XX or more"
