No You Monster DLC -50% on its own?

Sucks, but if you don't actually have DG (I don't, but I don't normally like tower defense games (except maybe Sanctum, Orcs Must Die! and Anomaly (though the last two don't really count as tower defense, with OMD! being more like Tecmo's Deception and Anomaly being more of a "tower assault" game with really nice presentation))), then now is the time to go for it!

In other breaking news, that Humble Bundle, eh? I only own Jamestown, the old freeware version of Cave Story and SMB on the 360 out of it, so I'll definitely bite above average price, especially for GSB. My poor backlog nooooooooooooooooo <

 

[Eternia]

That's one crazy bundle even if I own 3 of the games already.

 

[Stabby McSter]

super meat boy in a humble bundle? nice! been wanting to pick up that game but at $15 it is quite overpriced. Consider that bundle bought!

THAT GAME IS WORTH EVERY PENNY

 

[TheFightingFish]

That new bundle is a better deal than The Orange Box...there I said it...you can't make me take it back.

 

[arts&crafts]

I love you guys.

Maybe that magical pony-raising game will go on steam sale this holiday season and you'll all mysteriously end up gifted it.

Hey I own that game!

Spoiler

I have never installed it

 

[Sanjay]

Wow you look just like Kanye West.

 

[Fuzzy]

Overpriced?

For me Steam sales and Indie bundles have brought down the cost/value of all indie games. Anything over $5 is overpriced because it'll be below that in short time.

 

[Djamb3]

I kinda want Defense Grid alone, but since it was 75% off before...

Its worth the full price. Best tower defense with a distance

Doesn't help anyone's argument when Limbo, Orcs Must Die, Bastion, and Dungeon Defenders all had sales for $2.50-$5 within 2-5 months of launch.

I too like supporting indie developers, but I am not exactly swimming in money, and can't afford to pay $15 for a game that will be on sale for $4 before I have a chance to play it.

The past few posts have reminded me of the fact that Matt and Trey need to make another Baseketball film.

Was going to post this exact same thing, sad but true.

 

[Fare Godmace]

Midweek Madness - The Witcher 2, 40% off (23,99&#8364.

In GOG.com you can buy it at the same price but you also get The Witcher: Enhanced Edition.

EDIT: What's up with that average bundle price? Not that I am complaining, I'm going to give them 20$ this time, but it just started and it's already at 5,50$!

Fucking go! http://www.humblebundle.com/

This humble bundle is going to make so much money.

Anything that brings downward pressure on games prices in general is a good thing IMO, but I do wonder about the margins on these indie games. Obviously, "Big Indie" games like Super Meat Boy, Limbo and Bastion, which have major pubs and/or multiplatform releases behind them, have already made their money (or am I mistaken in that assumption? I'd really like some devs to give us some insight on this subject, myself), but what about stuff like Nightsky, or Jamestown? Didn't gratuitous Space Battles' dev once criticise such indie bundles for pretty much this reason? Odd, then, that their game should be part of one, no?

 

[arts&crafts]

Is witcher 2 controller compatible?

Yes.

 

[ShaneB]

Daily is King's Bounty. Dammit, my wallet hurts

 

[HotHamWater]

Clearly CD Projekt are raising money to buy GSC.

 

[arts&crafts]

Yes.

shiiiet I am going to dabble. I am 150 hours into skyrim, time to take a breather

 

[BY2K]

I couldn't resist.

 

[Nabs]

It looks like NightSky HD is in the bundle. Someone try it and report back.

 

[1-D_FTW]

Was going to post this exact same thing, sad but true.

Especially since the new trend is for a game to go into a bundle before Steam has even had it's first 66/75 off sale.

 

[derFeef]

I still have SMB to give away. Noone ever wanted it...

 

[Weenerz]

Currently stuck at work, how much is Shank and NightSky HD on Steam? I have the other games already.

 

[catabarez]

Fucking go! http://www.humblebundle.com/

Such an amazing deal

 

[Nabs]

Shank is 15, NightSky 10.

 

[jediyoshi]

Rofl, the counter

The humble indie bundles sell over 1 million copies. That is a lot of revenue at an average of $5 a sale, even if the money is split 5-7 ways.

EDIT: Humble indie bundle is bought. 4 of the 7 games are games that I don't already have, and I have been eyeing Shank and Nightsky for some time

 

[Dice]

I have Jamestown and Super Meat Boy and don't want the others cept Bit.Trip, which I only want a little.

Pass!

 

[SteveWinwood]

For the first time I'm going to skip a humble bundle

I own all of the games except cave story (which I've beaten like 3 times on pc and then on wii ware) and shank (which I just played the crap out of on psn). If it was like indie royale where I could gift individual game keys I would buy it and give them out.

 

[graywolf323]

son of a bitch that huge ass donation from the HumbleBrony people just skewed the average big time

 

[1-D_FTW]

Funny to watch it. Windows kept steadily falling off a cliff, and then bam, some big roller put in a huge bid and drove up the entire purchase price by 2.00 dollars. Notch, maybe?

 

[Baha]

$14k+ made already in just 10 minutes...

1.@HumbleBrony Bundle $3,500.00

hmm

 

[Prezhulio]

god that humble bundle is great.

 

[Infinite_Daremo]

Just bought the original Force Unleashed. Didnt check requirements. 25GB. Fuck thats never getting installed.

 

[MNC]

Man, Witcher 2 is gonna take forever to hit the impulse price. I wanted it for 10$ during winter :/

 

[arts&crafts]

I gave 5 to charity since i own them all except shank and cave story so most of the developers already have my money

 

[Mr_Zombie]

Fable III was like that, if I'm remembering right. One day it just showed up for sale.

But at least Fable III was announced few months before the the release. This will be completely out of nowhere.

 

[kswiston]

Man, Witcher 2 is gonna take forever to hit the impulse price. I wanted it for 10$ during winter :/

Game is 7-8 months old, and is not an EA game

 

[MNC]

Surely witcher 2 is atleast a year old? Have I been remembering things wrong?

 

[Sinatar]

It's more then worth full price you cheap ass.

 

[JaseC]

It released worldwide in May.

EDIT: beaten badly. Games from the first half of the year do feel like they were released forever ago though. I blame the ton of quality titles released in 2011.

 

[DSmalls84]

Picked up the Humble Bundle and was wondering if any of the games are giftable? Already have SMB but would like to pass an extra on to a friend.

 

[MNC]

I geddit, I geddit! I was sure that the game was on sale last christmas as well. Wow, something is messing with my mind.

You don't get extra copies.
