Indie Bundle Thread - There's another one?

Really weak indie royale imo. I guess Greed Corp is supposed to be the draw but it's been cheap for way too long and isn't very good either. Pass.
 
Is They Breathe any good? The concept and some of the praise seems interesting but all the footage is just a frog getting chased by underwater cows.

Kinda weak bundle, thought it won't make a difference considering Humble THQ Bundle is going to be dominating everything in terms of sales and media coverage.

Well, it's not an arcade game with focus on points/high scores/levels etc (some people seem to think it is), rather the opposite actually. No UI, no dialogue, no long-winded tutorial telling you what to do. It's more of an experience, without falling too far into the artsy territory. There's kind of a story in there too. And part of the experience is not knowing, but finding out on your own (which makes it a bit hard to properly explain it without giving too much away). It's not that long though, so it's not a huge commitment to get through. :)

I've been enjoying going through smaller Indie games lately, so I'll try this later today.

Would be super if all the drm free downloads and music could be packaged in a compressed format (zip, rar) that allows file validation such as with Winrar.

Just wonder why anyone think the IndieRoyale WinterBundle is bad. For about 3,50€ you get at least 3 good Games (Bit Trip Runner, Greed Corp and They Breathe). The other Games I havent played yet.

Or is it, that the value of those Games is so "low" nowadays, because there are too much cheap Indie Bundles, where you can just pay 1$ to get some Games?

I just think about 1 year ago, everyone would be pleased if they get such a bundle for just 3,50€.
 
I already own Greed Corp, Hamlet, Bit Trip, and Leave Home. So it's definitely not a bundle for me. Bit Trip and Greed Corp are very commonly on sale and bundled these days.

People shouldn't overlook Leave Home, though. Good stuff there (but also inexpensive stuff, regular price is $1 on Xbox, $3 on PC).

Bit Trip Runner and Greed Corp have been really cheap in sales for a long time, even appeared in other bundles. Their "worth" is low and many people already have them. And they rest lack Steam keys or are too obscure. Hamlet is the only slightly interesting title and its not big enough to carry a bundle.

Overall a weak offering by indie royale, lower than their usual. And this would be a bad bundle a year ago too as the same criteria would be in effect.

And me personally i'd rather pay more if the quality of the games are better. Not many bundles can live up to this. Humble is always good, indieroyale have also been a sure bet(perhaps loosing a bit of that now) and indiegala/bemine are lower with mostly old/crap games with the occasional good one(or quantity as in indiegala).
 
I know they appeared in other bundles, but i still think it doesnt lower the "worth" of the games qualitywise.

I can see why people, who already have these games complain, but nowadays it seems that people just wanna have more "big" indie-games in such bundles. It is just 3,50€ or 4,00€ right now and I think that is still a good price for the games.

Indie Gala Happy Hour is on for the next one hour.

I bought a regular non-bta bundle for Necrovision Lost Company. I already have Cryostasis and I don't care about the other games. I'm only interested in regular Necrovision now.

Anybody want to do any exchange? I have a shitload of leftover Bundle Games to trade...

Do you have Dustforce by any chance?

Not qualitywise of course. A good game is always a good game. I would argue that this bundle is weak on that too.

"Worth" is more like is it worth for me to buy this bundle. Is it a bundle that is a deal for people or not. Having old already used games of mixed quality doesn't place this bundle especially high.

Big or small games doesn't matter, just bring something new to the table and make a varied and interesting bundle. Humble bundle are great at this and indie royale used to get this right too.
 
Has Indie Royale ever said anything further about the possibility of bringing old bundles back?

Not that I know of. I hope that they will at some point, there are some bundles that I would definitely grab now but for some reason passed up when they were actually running.
 
I might have a code here?

War of the Human Tanks (DESURA)


The Indie Gala 11 bundle looks interesting but I'd only play the Necrovision games. I have no taste for strategy games.
EDIT: Screw it. I bought the bundle. Maybe tomorrow I'll spread some love.

Also people if you take a code, make a post about it. Please and thank you.
 
Alright then.

Big stack of games.
