Humble Star Wars Bundle [Week 2 games added](ENDED)

i never give to charity i always reset the funds so developer gets all the money.

charity donation is more then half the time a scam and they dont get all of it anyways

Not everybody earn in euros/dollars. Living in NZ or germany, you wont see the problem, your currency is strong.

Thanks for the idea. I will probably try that.

Well...I guess an opinion is an opinion. But seriously, I played it back in the dark days before Steam and...it really has nothing to offer. I mean, what kind of boring person would prefer being a front line nameless, faceless, cannon fodder twat clone trooper(who gets replaced by an equally unimportant one after he dies) instead of a bad-ass mofo who slices people's limbs off with a fucking light-saber, throws lightning from their hands and pushes enemies in deadly chasms with telekinesis...FUCKING TELEKINESIS!!!!!

Battlefront II is basically the sci-fi equivalent of shitty modern realistic military shooters like Call of Duty or Battlefield. An edition of pure spunkgargleweewee(whoever watched Yahtzee' s Zero Punctuation reviews knows what that term refers to) dressed with Star Wars thematic skin. Hell, at least in Call of Duty your character has a name and history and when you die you just restart from a checkpoint, not get put in the shoes of another piece of cannon fodder. You at least have the false feeling that you achieve some kind of impact in this virtual world(small as it may be). Battlefront II doesn't even have that.

But perhaps the greatest insult to my inner Star Wars nerd is the fact that they had the balls to implement controlling a Jedi in this piss-ass epic failure of a game. And it's done by reenacting the most important battles of The Clone Wars and putting you in the shoes of the Republic Army generals. Like saying: "Hey look, we got Jedi game-play, we can be cool too. And unlike those OTHER STAR WARS GAMES, you actually control important people. Jaden Korr? Kyle Katarn? Ha!! Who are those tossers? In this game you play as Mace Windu, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda. Hell yeah!!" Well...apart from the fact that they all control like ass and feel about as powerful as a drunken Kratos while also high on heroine, each of them has just one Jedi power, like some passive-aggressive bureaucrat who refuses to do anything other than his designated task. And when you die, it's bye bye forever. "No more cool Jedi game-play for you, mister. What? You thought you deserved it, or something?" Even considering you're a god at this game and you don't die, the Jedi sequence is always towards the end of the chapter, which is short enough as it is. So you still won't be walking around in Jedi shoes for more than 10 minutes at a time. Whoopty-fucking-doo... And good luck even scratching General Grievous if you don't reach him as Obi-Wan.

And no, I don't hate on this game just because it's not like the Jedi Knight series. Republic Commando proved beyond the shadow of a doubt that you can have a really fun and engaging Star Wars FPS with clones, without any Jedi or their Force involved. But that game, had cool level design, clones with actual names and personalities that you could give a shit about, it purported itself as a tactical shooter and it actually had SOME fucking TACTICS(other than charging blindly like an idiot towards the marked objective while getting mowed down by enemy fire coming from...EVERYWHERE), good voice acting and actual story-telling. All things that Battlefront II was SEVERELY lacking.

$16 when I checked just now

I did something similar except for my bundle groups. :D

He's trying

Oh I know, I bought the game years ago in store before I discovered Steam. I'm really excited to try some mods out on it :D

Ah! That's awesome!

I never realized the ? was a button. I just figured it was a static image. So despite your sarcasm, you were actually helpful!

they should have added Mysteries of the Sith as well, to make the Jedi Knight series complete(?). but well, it's just 3 bucks on steam

edit: actually Mysteries of the Sith is the only SW game left on steam (except for the cartoonish game and the lego crap), which was not in this bundle!

Ive watched all the movies.
watched the last 3 on cinema release.
own 12 games but have no time for it yet

life is good
