The Humble Monthly Bundle

On the humble twitter account , they are showing small images representing each game as hints. Some are obvious ( Saints row,besieged and Valkyria) and 2 other images are still not clear.

i would be cool with this also i think the skeleton in the preview pic is meant to be rouge legacy
Maybe, but the skeletons in Rogue Legacy have jaws. The skeletons in Shovel Knight resemble the image more.Also,they posted the final hint which includes arrows next to bombs.

They said it would feature games never seen in their bundles ?
Wasn't Saints Row IV in the Humble Jumbo Bundle 3 ? I guess it'll be the GOTY edition so they get away with this.

Yes, and the first bonus game for the premiere bundle is Legend of Grimrock II.
Correct. You gotta make the leap of faith.
The hints suggest it's going to be a very solid bundle, though.
Saints Row 4 probably won't be GotY. Which will be highly annoying if you're a game content completionist.

That's a terrible list of alleged games. Most of those have been dirt cheap or are currently dirt cheap elsewhere this very moment.
Leap of faith indeed.

I signed up for the first month. Depending on the response (which will probably be negative given how most of the Humble Monthly discussions have been), month 2 could potentially be better. If it's not, then I'll likely unsubscribe. Whatever, though... LoG2 was worth it for me since it's a game I've been interested in for a while. It's a nice one that will take the sting out of whatever dupes are part of this bundle, which I'm expecting (I have nearly 600 games in my library, so it's inevitable).
Humble has revealed drawings every few days the past couple weeks. Here's the full set of hints:
highly likely
- Besiege
- Valkyria Chronicles
- Saints Row 4
- Sunless Sea / Torchlight II / ?
- Shovel Knight / Rogue Legacy / Crypt of the Necrodancer / ?
- Lethal League / ?
- Towerfall Ascension / Knight Squad / ?
And of course Legend of Grimrock II was confirmed by Humble as the bonus game.
Looking at it, are these portions of one big piece of artwork? The Saint's Row fleur-de-lys seems to be leaking into the shot of the lamp.
Not that that particularly proves anything either way, I'm just curious!
There's a ghetto blaster there. Which of the clusters of either-or is that corresponding to? I can see it matching Crypt, but not really Shovel Knight or Rogue Legacy. (Makes me think of Hotline Miami!)
Yea it seems to be one piece of artwork with components representing each game in the bundle. You can also see the base of the catapult (Besiege) in the center hint and the matching sky.

Got the subscription today with a virtual card, Now we play the waiting game.
My biggest issue is the change of getting items I already have. Something that has become so prevalent I skip probably 2/3 bundles these days.
Curious to see what it turns out to be!
you could always just be an awesome friend to your friends, or sell the keys you already own in our very own buy sell trade thread here on neogaf, that is my plan for dupes.

I'm willing to bet that at least the first couple of months will be good. There's no way they'd start this with a bunch of disappointing games. The first month has to be great if they expect anybody to stay or join for the second month. I singed up and will give it a couple of months just to see if my inkling in correct.
EDIT: the only potential problem is if I already have the games that list.

If i didn't own Grimrock 2 already i'd do this in a heartbeat. Instead my finger wavers over the button but I can't quite click it.
I want Besiege and Shovel Knight.
I'd quite like Saints Row IV and Crypt of the Necrodancer.
I'm indifferent to Legend of Grimrock II, Sunless Sea, Leathal League, Knight Squad, and I already own the others.
Not sure if I can justify getting this tbh - on the one hand it's not a bad price even if I only get 3 of the first 4 games I mentioned, but on the other hand I'd be potentially paying for lots of games I already own.

They have to make the first couple of months insanely good to draw people in. I might take the chance and gamble on the first month at least.
Edit: Subbed. Well see what they have to offer. If they're smart it will be great. I don't really like the idea of a loot crate type thing though.

Check your mail, probably you received a link here.
They should be found individually in your account page under either library or keys. Or alternatively you could go to products (which lists per-bundle), and clicking on the monthly bundle will land you on a page with all products from that bundle, currently just LOG.
If it's not attached to your account yet there's some business about "claiming the pages", but I don't remember quite how that works.
Yeah they're not in those places either, I checked them first before I posted.
Perhaps they're still processing the order or something.
Hopefully I don't miss out!
The receipt *should* be proof enough, but you might want to just look it over and confirm it says what you expect!
Yeah it's definitely a receipt with an order number for the 'November Monthly Bundle'.
Hopefully it will just resolve itself in time.
Try to check under unredeemed games.
Did that as well before posting.
Thanks for the suggestions.
Seems I'm not the only one at least!
Did you just buy it today? You were meant to buy the bundle yesterday at the latest to get the Grimrock 2 key.
I got an email yesterday saying it was the last day to buy it. I somehow have 2 humble accounts and bought the Bundle last month with my main account.
Edit: to quote the email
So before, not on Nov 6th
Nah, site says there's still 6 hours left.
Yes I bought it a few hours ago.
And their monthly bundle page still has this large text on it -
Join now to instantly unlock your copy of Legend of Grimrock 2.
Have you checked to see if you're registered in their monthly system? I bought around the same time as you and on my humble page it says that i'm not a subscriber.
Still got charged the $12 though...
Yeah cheers.
I don't use any social media accounts, so I'll just run with my receipt and see what happens.
