Regarding new bundles and opinions

But but but... comment sections are where the trolls and flamers dwell.

I agree that it would be nice to see more helpful comments. Chains of "meh" are really just spam.

I own all these opinions. Do you have a problem with me sharing them on SteamGifts?

Complains about complains, do you see where this is going?! You added close to 0, and ppl wont chance coz your opinion of it

This opinion sucks, plus it's just a repeat of opinions everyone else already has. I don't really like the opinion genre though... Meh, not for me.

Discussions about what is good and what not as if their opinions were absolute trues are amusing. Why stop them? Let them battle for our joy.

I agree with your opinion, if you have the game already then maybe you can actually say something about it?

Somehow, I didn't notice any of these kind of comments...

The level of actual discussion on this forum seems to have been declining over time. There is barely anything worth looking at and I feel even less inclined to reply than I normally do (which isn't very much anyway, but oh well).

People actually putting in some kind of effort would be nice, but it may be too much to ask I feel.

I am guilty of this, my bad.

To be fair, I have helped sometimes but have said "Oh god it burns" when some bundles release.

I don't mind repeats too much as long as the bundle has some nonrepeats.

I do think it's odd though that some games have been in a bundle like 4+ times. (I think Doublefine is guilty of this?)

I don't notice such comments much, at least not in that extent that they annoy me. I just scroll through them and focus on the informative ones.So....meh, i guess

so steamgifts is now stealing peoples ability for personal opinions? v__v sad

personally if someone doesnt like reading the comments... then they dont have to? lol

I agree the "meh" and "bad bundle" comments aren't really helpful and would like to see more constructive and informative comments about the games like the examples you gave. However, comments like "great bundle" and "definite buy" could be viewed as similarly spammy. They don't add a whole lot to the conversation either and "You owning [none] or [few] of the games is not relevant information to anyone else." Please don't mistake my comment as aggressive. I'm simply playing the devil's advocate and pointing out that it's a bit hypocritical to target just the negative comments.

I completely agree with you on this. Just seing 'meh' spammed across the whole comments section is no help to anyone and is just annoying in general.

Amen, bruddah.

Imo the guys getting upset about this are just as annoying as the guys complaining about the bundles, if not worse.
There's this certain group of people on SG nowadays who like to tell people what to think and what to say, and if people don't comment in exactly the same way they themselfs would they tend to get upset quite a bit, calling people ungrateful/cheap simply for not liking a certain product a retailer is offering.
Why is it that EVERY time a guy comments "meh bundle, got most games" or "BTA is too high for my taste" people get offended so easily, but yet when it comes to actual rules on SG like the rule that you can't post political stuff is ignored?

I for one am not bothered by those negative comments, I normally check the comments on SG before even having a look at a bundle just to know if i should keep an eye on the bta or if it's a waste of time.

I actually think that informing people that they are all repeats is okay. I mean, I buy bundles all the time and sometimes I forget if I own a game or not.

Complaining about complainers do you agree or disagree.... file a complaint below.

That's why I like to keep my swag to myself

I think bundle quality has dropped a lot this year. The repeat games have risen dramatically and more and more bundles are consisting almost entirely of games I've never heard of (not to mention a lot of those are greenlight games or android games). Also the increasing use of tiers making it much harder to afford the bundles now that there's so many different ones every week. Especially when most people only want maybe 1 or 2 games out of an entire bundle making the higher tiers not really worth it.

Of course a lot of the bundles are a great price regardless but after the last few years of amazing bundles it's hard not to feel disappointed with the current selection.

It has some worth. It's a good barometer.

With greater and greater numbers of bundles, the risk of bundle fatigue increases. You can view the number of "mehs" as a change in the barometer. The greater numbers of them there are, the stronger the bundle fatigue is. And if the fatigue grows too great, the bundle system collapses under its own weight of meh.

meh

But bobo, I've never heard of most of these games and I'm too much of a lazy ass to just google them. Therefore, they're crap. /sarcasm

I do dislike audiobook and comedy bundles, though.
