Well if you bought it straight from Steam and play clock is under 2 hours, you can refund it.
If not, you still got a great JRPG the platform desperately needs more of.

Already did. I think it has to do with the annual plan.
It kind of confirms my initial feeling. This is the first time I have not a monthly plan and this is the first time I don't get the key for the early unlock.

How about near the bottom of https://www.humblebundle.com/monthly/p/january_2017_monthly, the Early Unlocks section?

For the most part, it's way better than the first. Its also a lot harder. The first game if you wanted to play on the easiest level and mow down everything with heavies, you could still win the game. Xcom2 will have none of that. On the upper difficulties it will laugh at Dark Souls as it will shred you most complex strategies. If you decide to buy the alien hunters dlc, the game will gladly rip your balls off and feed them to you. And you will like it. When the game launch, there were a number of technical issues but they have been cleaned up.
There are a few negatives.
Xcom2 requires a more powerful computer. Way more than it should. Visually, Xcom Enemy Within running at 4K looks and runs better than Xcom 2. I think the issue is from Xcom2 having much larger maps and more variety of artwork. The characters are a bit more detailed but zoomed out, you don't notice it. Thats my guess.
Xcom 2 leans way more into characters popping up on your screen to comment on something.
Still, its awesome,

Same. I filed a ticket for their support ninjas. Still disappointed about that bug.

Honestly, Bowling and GAMEPUMP crew fucked up by not revealing their game before the Monthly bundle. I know disappointment was looming for this but man I'm more PUMPed for Humble now.

XCOM 2 --
MB-A8022DCFDF7A3A59- Taken by Cosmic Schwung. 48 entrants total.
I finished the game 5 months ago and I'm not sure 100% (that speaks volumes of Ghosts story) but I'd say that
No, it doesn't die in the end.

I'm also kinda surprised that they haven't announced an expansion after they were done with the console ports.
On the plus side, after killing and skinning those bastards you can look like Serpentor.

Humble... Give... XCOM 2...
Paid for the early unlock as always but this time I don't have my key for the early unlock game...
Hmmm I guess I'll wait
So 3 of us are on the same boat.
Make it 4 then!

That humble monthly was just great and I don't even like Vermintide.

I remember it was a "key" point in the games' unveiling but in the end the dog was only used in a couple of missions IIRC. I think there were more boring space missions than dog missions... man, what an average game :|
i kind of been wanting to get back into xcom 2 for a while. i really liked the game and almost all the chagnes they made to it (even tho it's now even more stressful to play) but the performance is so fucking bad i can't in good conscience waste the bandwidth to download it
i hope people made some decent modding tutorials, i remember reading the firaxis pdfs and those were a fucking joke lol
i really want to actually release a mod for it, but i find unreal engine so freaking daunting to even look at

Played Rocket League for a few hours & I really like it but I don't think I'll ever be good at it though.
XCOM 2 for 12 bucks is hella tempting but I trying to save up for Nier: Automata...

practice makes perfect, I thought the same and I'm decent now after 200hr :x
xcom 2 isnt the same bundle as TitS, Cars and MRB
also, totally unrelated, but did Last Guardian bomb or something? its already down to 39.99 on PSN, thats actually super tempting

Is it too late to get PUMPED? I feel like wasting 20 bucks on some obscure Amiga games that I'll never play.

I'd be more hyped about GameStump if they WERE promising obscure Amiga games. >.>
The game is awesome, but it has some issues (mostly controls and fluctuating framerate). As experience, it's fantastic. It was 40 in Italy too from Gamestop, the Steelbook version.
I think it didn't sell so much sadly.

I think it's pretty obvious that Humble Bundle was
PUMPED.
It's never too late to get pumped up.

Pretty sure you are allowed to sign up right up until the games are revealed, which will be on the first Friday of February.
