The only repeat was Tomb Raider Underworld, the rest is good for me. I'm disappointed in this (Coupon Valid date: 16/01/2017 to 30/01/2017).. why I have to wait to use the coupon...

Considering that I only would have bought it for FF: Lightning Returns (since for me that would be the only part I would hav ebought the box) I'm kinda happy I didn't spend money on it and am waiting for the Chritmas Sale on Steam.
On the other hand, whish for luck that' I'll be able to win it hear on SG!

So i can't understand this "refund" shouting, i mean this is a real decent bundle.
I got Lightning Returns, this one i wanted so bad and now i got it.
i wanted Goetia and now i got it.
Hitman i have already the Full Experience, but i can make a Giveaway or trade it.
and my favorites from back in the Days are in this bundle too, i loved Soul Reaver, so nice i have it now on steam :)
and Hitman GO is also a great Game.
This Bundle is really good.

Yeah, but I was kinda hoping for Life is Strange or any other FF that's not from the XIII trilogy, and I already got Tomb Raider and Soul Reaver... bundle seems underwhelming compared to the older ones imo, well, guess I'll refund or trade/giveaway it. Still a pretty nice bundle if you're interested in FF XIII I guess

Not a bad bundle for me since the only game I already had was Underworld and I'm kind of a sucker for oldies like Legacy of Kain.
I was a little bit bummed at first cuz I was kinda hoping for a Tomb Raider that wasn't in my library.
Then I decided to give it to a friend and had to go through the long process of explaining that Pre-SE Tomb Raider games weren't QTE-fests and had a special kind of magic of their own.
Somehow after that I felt a lot better having received that game exactly because I know my friend's going to be giving that experience a go now ^^.

FF is always a series I want to play
Hitman Go is wishlisted
Goetia I suppose I can try out
Hitman + the coupon is a great deal! This alone makes the bundle... £20 for a game that's wishlisted is a steal!

Other games I'm gifting or giving so shrugs

A solid bundle, with a little too much filler. For me, it really throws into high relief how excellent the monthly Humble bundles are.

Tomb Raider: Underworld is something I think a lot of people will own - I do - and I also have the Soul Reaver games on GOG, so there's no reason to have them on Steam too. Giveaway stuff. I would be thrilled by Goetia if I hadn't won it here (note to self, play the game already). Hitman GO was on my wishlist, and the Intro Pack for Hitman is the one place where I feel we got a so-so value instead of a great one. I'm going to want all the chapters, so this is more a loss-lead for them than a special sale value. I get it, but now I'm still going to have to buy the upgrade at some point, and I expect the Intro Pack will be reduced on sale at every chance they get in future. The coupon is cool, but this is supposed to be a surprise box! It's generous, but still 2.5 times the cost of the offer in the first place. Well, you know, commerce. /shrugs

Final Fantasy is great. Overall - good value. Humble knocks me over every month with how rich the choices are.

The Intro Pack will most likely become free sometimes in the future.

I wouldn't be surprised, especially since they announced they will release more seasons for it (as DLC)

Easier to sell second season when you don't have to buy first/intro pack.

I agree. It's still OK. I try not to do too much shoulda-woulda-coulda with game discounts; prices are so volatile that it's just fuel for frustration. I try (when I can) to think of the value it has right now.

That said, this one really does look like it's on a no-frills trip to the Free lists, and they could have done better.

12.49$ for the other episodes of hitman is tempting , but i think i'll buy it for 20$ on steam on the 22nd, steam money < real money. What a bitch move tho , 50% off on steam and their store and 75% on gamestop.

Wow, I was tempted at one point, so glad I did not give in, I expected at least JC3 or Life is Strange Complete in there. Two good but ancient games, a mobile game, a kind of old game which is a repeat, an intro pack that is probably gonna be eventually free like Life is Strange episode 1 and an interesting point & click adventure. Indeed a surprise, but not a pleasant one.

I didn't like the selection, so I used the edit->cancel on my order page, and now I've been refunded. Happy others liked the bundle though. I was being greedy having already bought the Yogscast bundle, so it's good to get a bit of money back! :/

I would have bought Lightnng Returns for the same price anyway, so it's a good deal for me. Goetia is a really nice surprise and I'd also like to try the Hitman Intro eye candy.
Trading away the rest, I never found the Tomb Raider games appealing.

While this is not bad value for 6.5 euros, I just don't care for some or already own the others.

I hoped for Life is strange and either FF IX or X and did not get any of those...I for one will refund and hope that the FF games will be on sale during the winter steam sale or on the square enix site.

You can actually ask for a refund in the EU. It seems to be pretty simple actually, even more so than I expected, according to the last post on the previous page.

Due to the laws of the EU, people that live there can get refunds. It seems to be very simple as well (I could just cancel the order apperantly, not confirmed yet though).

Sorry about bringing up the talk about region locks again, but I've got a question for those who have more experience about creating region-locked giveaways. I'm from the EU and I'm assuming the keys are region-locked (at least with Lightning Returns according to SteamDB), but I don't see "EU only" option while creating a GA. People mention that keys bought in EU region are often ROW, but that's probably not the case with every game?

its not region locked. I'm in the South East Asia region and I managed to activate my copy of Lightning Returns that I got from someone who bought it from EU.

It doesn't appear to be region restricted for the EU and people seem to be trading/gifting it without issues. If you are looking at the "No cross region trading and gifting" flag on SteamDB then that doesn't seem to mean a lot on it's own - plenty of ROW keys have that. If it actually has activation/purchase locks then they look like this;

Other keys for Lightning Returns don't appear to be region locked.
