[Killer Bundle 8] vs [EA Racing Pack]

Open
LordMystirio

Hello here

I originaly wanted to get the KB8(https://www.bundlestars.com/en/bundle/killer-bundle-8) because of two games: Cross of the Dutchman(http://store.steampowered.com/app/384000/) and star ruler 2(http://store.steampowered.com/app/282590/).
Unfortunately, as you probably know, SR2 is no longer in the bundle. So it leaves me with only Cross of the Dutchman.

On the other hand, I have all EA Racing Pack (http://store.steampowered.com/bundle/1009/) games except: Need for Speed: Shift (http://store.steampowered.com/app/24870/) and Shift 2 Unleashed (http://store.steampowered.com/app/47920/).

KB8 is 4.49$ and EARP is 6.48$ (thanks to the games I already have).

I love racing games (well to be more acurate, I love aracade racing games) so I'm a little more tempted by the EARP but I also think KB8 is not a bad deal (and it has a game I have my eyes on).

Which one would you guys choose if you were me?

Thanks

So it leaves me with only Cross of the Dutchman.

Cross seems to be on the road to heavy and frequent discounting, given its past/current promotions.
It's also a lot more niche than the EA racing games, which also furthers that.

There's definitely no reason to jump in on Killer Bundle just for Cross.

The EA pack seems hands-down the better option- though, with me saying that, we're totally going to get a new Origin Humble Bundle now :P (Though, of course, it's not too likely the specific racing games you want will be in it even if it does pop up.)

The Humble Origin bundles have thus far given both Origin and Steam keys for several games, much like the PC & Android bundles typically have games with double keys.

But either way, I was indicating that waiting on that was a poor option, given the low probability of it both occurring and having the games you wanted.
With that in mind, if you didn't want to try and wait for a better sale on the package, then that'd be the one to get.

I won't buy the killer-bundle, since Star Ruler 2 has been removed!

Get the racing pack. Cross of the Dutchman will be in a bundle again.

Cross of the Dutchman was 0.15$ on GMG a while ago. You're better off waiting for another deal on it and getting the racing pack if you enjoy those types of games.

If you love arcade racing games, you should reconsider any interest in Shift 2. The first one was good, but not very arcade-ish(?) or great either.
I'll assume that you own at least 1 of the remaining 3 games already (especially as some of them have been given away for free in the past), if you really love arcade racers. So why not buy just a single one of them, instead of the complete bundle?

And I'd avoid the Killer Bundle too, if you only want Cross of the Dutchman.

I wouldn't get either of those if I had majority of featured titles like you have. Save the money I say!

Definitely not a hard choice, if the only game you want from the Killer Bundle 8 is Cross of the Dutchman.

Since, as stated already, it's been available for a really low price, you could trade for it, or even try to win a giveaway here.
Or just wait for another bundle / deep discount, or you could even try finding a group buy.

EA games, on the other hand, are rarely discounted, and almost never bundled (I think the last one was over a year ago).

TL;DR: get the EA Racing Pack, and don't look back.
