Just got an e-mail about a new Killer Bundle, coming 17th August.
After the over hyping they did for their last bundle, I'm a bit skeptical of this one...
Thoughts?

killer - meaning after the last hyped bundle you'll want to kill yourself when this one turns up :)

If you're talking about their legendary bundle, it was damn worth the hype. If you believe it wasn't, then there's no point in being hyped for this one either, as I don't see them topping that.

the legendary bundle was just an average meh bundle. I dont think many people thought it was that great.

Yep, it was definitely average especially for the amount of hype they put on it.

This I would agree with, they definitely overly hyped it. That always seems like a bad idea unless you're prepared to deliver something, well, legendary :)

I thought it was pretty great. Granted I only had one of the games already but the games seemed pretty good, especially for the price.

It was a decent bundle, but they created way more hype for it then what it was worth. It was nothing "legendary" at all.

I think the same about that bundle, for me it was awesome, even tho I already owned Skullgirls, but still a great indie fighting game so underated.

That's fairly surely not remotely the sole basis of how we evaluate bundles. :P
Considering how many dubious games are highly reviewed [I know of at least one single-player pong knockoff that was at very positive- and that's not getting into joke-reviewed games like Bad Rats], and how many games have been free-spammed but still retain high ratings, it's a useless consideration to base off of on its own.

As I recall, the bundle was Party Hard, Another World, an ex-Monthly game of little popular interest, and a bunch of free/multiple-bundled games.
And at $3, if you were only going in it for Party Hard or Another World (or Lethal League), it may seem a bit less appealing compared to other bundles. If you wanted both games, or missed out on the other games in the bundle before, sure, it's a solid bundle (especially if you'd missed out on Door Kickers up till now).

But rather, that's just the thing: It's a typical, predictably decent bundle, especially by Bundlestars considerations, lacking in any notable inclusions or notable points of appeal.
It's fairly comparable to Indie Legends 1 and 3, and better than 2. It doesn't stand out as being especially beneficial in cost-to-gain, in the significance of its inclusions, or the overall quality or breadth of its inclusions.

In other words, it's not a bad bundle, and if we view it on its own merits, there's nothing to complain about. On the other hand, the hype was certainly overblown and misleading, and that can totally be dismissed and disagreed with. Compared to what was indicated, the games do seem crappy- it's like if someone promised you a steak dinner [or equivalent], and then gave you some chicken fingers [or equivalent].
Hell yeah, some people are going to love them chicken fingers- but that doesn't mean the people expecting steak dinner won't be disappointed by the contrast. :P

Of course, compared to the even more low-key Be Mine 27, this is a well-rounded, decently sized bundle that you don't have the risk of a preorder on. Again, nothing to complain about- though scoffing at future hype definitely seems a reasonable action to take.

In other words, the issue wasn't the bundle, but the hype- and those who found themselves especially irritated by the contrast seem to be faltering a bit in being clear with that distinction. :P

In other words, the issue wasn't the bundle, but the hype- and those who found themselves especially irritated by the contrast seem to be faltering a bit in being clear with that distinction.

I find that a LOT of conversations on this site and in fact, on the net as a whole, often lack the subtlety and nuance that tease out the distinctions of a complaint. People just say something is completely crap or shady or whatever, when they're really talking about something very specific and distinct, which someone else may find to be of little relevance.

But anyway, yeah, with the Indie Legends 4 bundle, the problem is that it was hyped up too much and made to seem like it was going to be the equivalent of something like the December Humble Monthly, and when it turned out to have a lot of repeats and nothing that was insanely amazing or surprising that took your breath away, many people were upset. To someone like me, it didn't matter, because I got games that were wishlisted and was able to sell the games I didn't want or make giveaways for them, but to someone else, who felt that it should have been a bundle with no repeats and much more awesomeness, they could be livid. It's all about context and perspective.

They should put Godus Wars on new Killer Bundle, to really kill some people - if not because of their bundles, then because of the game developers. :d

Given the quality of their previous Killer bundles, I don't see why they would "pollute" that name with crappy games.
I'm definitely looking forward to this, my body is ready, and my card is ready too.

Not that I'd need it myself, it wouldn't even run on my PC (old CPU with no SSE4.1).
But I'd like to watch the ensuing shit storm!

I've only ever bought 2 bundles from there. One of them was Killer Bundle 6 (the other was The Brutal Bundle from 2014). So I'm hoping this is gonna be better than their "best bundle ever" that I just passed on.

EDIT: OMMFG IT IS AWESOME!!!!! So many wishlisted games. HFS
