Original Text v

So I'm one of those people who just can't decide whether to pick up a bundle or not. Reason's cos I've noticed that most of the times the games I buy either just collect dust in my Steam account, or get exploited for steam cards.

Hence I'm making a thread to hear about how you decide to pick up a bundle; what's your thought process, what kind of budget do you set aside for them, what if no steam cards were available for any of the games?

Examples:
HB Weekly

BTA has 3 games to pickup, and the collector's itch wants me to pick up Kurumi DLC. So BTA for the win?

IndieGala Monday Bundle

Only 1 game interest me, and that's Momodora III. So is it still a good idea to drop $2 for the bundle?

Bundle buying....

a bundle? BUY IT!
a bundle? Burn it WITH FIRE!
a bundle? Stay the **** away from my wallet!
a bundle? READ ALL THE COMMENTS!

my general rule: if it's more than 0.25$ per game -> too expensive to buy.
that's why i never buy bundles from HumbleBundle... -____-"

I buy a bundle if 1 of 2 criteria is met:

  1. Will I play 2 or more games in the bundle
  2. are some of the games good enough to make a gibways.

requirement: Do I have money on my bank

If I like half or more of the bundle I will pick it up if I have the money. As long as I don't already own most of them too.

I will not buy any more bundles for myself until my backlog is completed.
Even if the deal is good, there will probably be a better one later unless it is a price error.

Usually my resistance is strong. Occasionally I fail. The last bundle I bought myself was the Telltale Bundle.
I haven't even activated those games yet. This is why I shouldn't buy any more bundles.

Telltale bundle? Guessing not a HB offer?

It was a build your own Telltale Bundle from the Humble Store.
So it's not officially a bundle, I suppose. But the 85% off was a bit too hard for me to resist. :)

usually ...

  • do I like more than half of games in bundle?
  • do some friends want some of them?
  • would someone in (weebo) group enter some gib?
  • external factors (aka forums/comments)

like with IG monday ... I want only Momodora, but it's a pass for $2, and most friends don't want any other games

Hey, I wanted Momodora only too, mostly cos i read it's an RPG game. The rest... not so much. Maybe as a win or something i guess...

127 players, 109 solvers. I'm slightly worried. Where did the other 18 players go?

It's a muddled process for me. I get a bundle if I'm strongly interested / want at least half of the games (after doing research on the games if I am unfamiliar with them) AND I can justify the price paid for those games (ignoring the others) to myself. If there is just one or two games that I'm interested in, I pass and usually try to trade/win those, or mark them for later. However, I will buy a bundle if it contains even 1 game that I know someone dear to me would enjoy / wants to play.
Bump for all the fish! :)

Good bundle is not bad... I think

Curiously enough, the only thing that went through the mind of the bowl of petunias as it fell was "Oh no, not again."

Why not?

It has to include at least a couple of games I'm interested in (e.g. have wishlisted) and enough games that would be fun to give away. If the reviews for the other games are mostly bad I usually won't buy it.

I chose based on the games, if they look fun and I have the cash I will go for it.

Rachel posts them and then I look at the chart and the overall response to see if I need to investigate further.

It depends how much Momodora III is worth to you. It's about 50% off from the retail price, with a bunch of other games as a bonus. If you would buy that game alone for $2, then it's a no-brainer. If you wouldn't, then you have to ask yourself if those extra games are worth anything to you. (Whether it's for your own account, trading or giveaway fodder)
