Will you buy this bundle?
Not bad... a wee bit overpriced in my opinion, but I'm comparing it to a regular bundle.

If you are looking for buying Spellweaver Vampire Overlord pack (9.99€/$), I think it can be ok.
Otherwise, I think it is globally a awful bundle.
They recycle titles from their just previous cheaper Halloween bundle, and games that were or are still available for a few cents at DIG store.

I disagree with that. Roogoo and Paranautical Activity are both good games in their genres, as are Reverse Crawl, The Detail and Legends of Solitaire. While Hidden Mysteries is supposed to be pretty bad, it's at least refreshing to see a HOG that's not a horror game about some woman who inherited a haunted mansion.

Paranautical Activity has been given away free by the bucketload.

And I wasn't making any sort of commentary on their monetary value. I disagreed with the assessment that all of the games are awful.
I swear, some people on this site have completely forgotten that games are meant to be played for fun and aren't JUST for gifting and trading...

Thanks for pointing at Roogoo puzzle game :-)
I will try it since it is in current The Mighty Monday GameBundle 2 !!

I liked it! It's not a thinking puzzle game, but more of a twitch reaction game. You spin circles and try to stack colored blocks through the right holes, it's hard to explain but once you get into it, it plays very quickly and you can do some crazy combos.

The assessment wasn't necessarily that the games are awful, just that the bundle is. Which is true, $12 for 25 games (two-thirds handed out like candy, none exceptional) is a bad deal for most people here.
To some it might cost $4 (I sure didn't get any code), and within that group some might not have any (of the many) of the other bundles. But for most of the audience reading these comments, I think at least one of those conditions won't hold true, and this bundle largely presents no 'great' (or even decent) value to them.
There's just not much use assessing a bundle 'good' or 'bad' using game quality without also considering price. Exaggerating a hypothetical for simplicity, five AAA games might technically be called a 'good bundle', but if it costs $500 then that classification means little. It's the terminology's practical value which gives the discussion purpose--otherwise its more some robotic evaluation of a list within a vacuum.
Similarly, 'rarity' majorly impacts the real value (to each buyer). These evaluations are very subjective to the commentator's library, but people tend to step back and say "hey this would be a great deal if you don't have x and y already" when that condition is the norm, and not the exception.
In addition, though only tangential to the matter at hand, I'm firmly of the opinion that GreenManGaming can eat my ass.

I really don't know why you're speaking for Omicron666 hours after they've already responded to me, saying they changed their mind on Roogoo after my post. I was clearly onto something considering the response I received.
And, please, I hope you have a better reason for disliking GMG than just bandwagon jumping after our corporate overlords told us we're not allowed to like them anymore.

Da fug? I was speaking for myself trying to explain something that (at the time) seemed to just be a misconception of yours about what people actually intend when using a term.
But I'm starting to think that wasn't some isolated incident of reading between the lines for you.

I for one agree with your assessment on both the bundle and GMG.

$3.96 ??? Here it is 12€
I wanted say $4 for this? Totally lot for these games, then i clicked... 12€ best joke today. 2€ each game? :D maybe 0,10€
= 4€ for 2 games for me, worst then most of classic bundles and also with better games
Comment has been collapsed.
they sent a voucher kind of thing via email though. That makes the bundle € 3.96.
Comment has been collapsed.
You need a coupon from GMG. I got one on my email. Might not be the best of bundle, but there are worse ways to spend your $4.
Comment has been collapsed.
you call this a great deal? maybe 2 good games, others are shovelware and some even were free to get in the past
Comment has been collapsed.
25 games and 1 DLC for $4.3. I'd say it's better than average, so long as you don't compare it to the great bundles of the past. Indiegala would not have had this beat most of the times were it not for their happy hour program.

if I didn't have basically everything I wanted from this I'd consider it.

Funny how every bundle thread has become a "It's good" or "It's sucks" thread.

EDIT: Chart now in OP
Orborun (not Orburon, GMG's fault) is the only game you can't make a GA for.

Thanks for the chart, it really helps, especially on a huge bundle like this :)

Thanks for the chart, thread updated. Great work! :)

You're welcome! Thanks you for the heads up on the bundle and for adding the chart, I'm editing my comments to clear up the thread now that it is on on the top :)

Just keep in mind that GMG [officially] drops support for any purchases past the first week of purchase.
Last time I bought bundles from them, they expired half the keys on me.
Anyone buying this bundle should activate, trade, or gib off keys ASAP.

Wow, that's crazy. I didn't know that. I might have some unused GMG keys in my stash... Thanks for the heads-up.

Good to know... :X any source, because I haven't found anything in their ToS ?

WHAT, really? I would like to know where you saw this as well. Will have to reconsider doing any shopping with them anymore then.

I might have been tempted had they sent me a coupon. Thankfully they didn't so I can avoid the trash I don't already own.

Anyone know how many, if any, of these games that have been given out for free?

Update
- It seems to be available now for everybody for the price of € 3.99 (without coupon). That's 25 games and one DLC for 0.15 cents each.
- Spellweaver - Vampire Overlord is a DLC for the free-to-play game Spellweaver.
- As part of the Black Friday Deals you also receive one free random game extra (games that I got until now are Three Dead Zed, Super Mustache, Gentlemen!, Huntsman - The Orphanage Halloween Edition, Terra Incognita - Chapter One: The Descendant, The Nightmare Cooperative, Red Goblin: Cursed Forest, Turbo Pug and Freebie). Besides Freebie not bad, considering you can at least give them away on SteamGifts :-P.

Yes and for inhabitants of the United Kingdom it is £ 3.99 ;)

Another Update
- Price seems to have gone down further to $/€/£ 3.49
@HardID - Can you update the topic? Voucher is no longer needed.
Comment has been collapsed.
It will sell out eventually? ;) 25 games and a DLC for 0.13 cents each it not very expensive (given you find a couple of the games interesting enough to play or a game horder like me :P). I think they made a wrong start by only making it available with vouchers, giving it a bad starting promo.
Comment has been collapsed.
ok, i was thinking it could last a full week or so like some other bundle site
Comment has been collapsed.
GMG deals don't always have specific end dates. If something is hot, they could run out of keys at any minute and remove it from sale. I always tell people that if they see a good deal at GMG, buy it NOW, do NOT wait, because if you hesistate, it may be gone.

Correct, however seems that you can now use voucher code WINTER10, this will get 10% off the order, making it 3.59 :)

Why are all the reviews on that GMG bundle page raving about how great the bundle offer is ?
It quite obviously isn't "great" unless i'm missing something.
p.s;
Maybe it's good to newbies i suppose.
Comment has been collapsed.
to newbies
unless u mean the fun one had when first buying bundles.
now i have over 3000 games on steam and another 1000 on other pc game sites.
I'm probably a bit jaded now :)

Social notworking sites like Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest are causing more people to feel alone.

- me i included here group cheat's on steam and, when someone have in library more than 6k games is inclined to be a person introverted, alone... together with his games.

you get paid GMG credit for every review you post that gets accepted. From personal experience they tend to silently not accept (not refuse, just never responds pretending they never got review) some negative reviwews. From times back ago when I farmed GMG credit via reviews I had +/-90% acceptance rate for positive reviews, +/-75-80% for mixed ones and only +/-50% for very negative reviews. Since you don't want to waste time writing reviews that will never get accepted from credit farmer perspective it's best to post positive reviews even if they are fake positives ;p
