Your New Year’s Resolution is...

View Results
[Recurring subscription] ...to play only good games this year and these seem to fit into that category.
[New subscription] …to never miss a good deal when I see one.
[Maybe subscribe] ...to ponder more before jumping into a decision.
[Have] …to stop hoarding games that I already own.
[Pausing] ...to be more responsible. Holiday’s gone. Back to school / work! No time to play games any more :(
[Non-subscriber, will not buy] … to fatten my savings account like a turkey before Christmas.
[Complaint] I just bought these in the sale. Refund time?
[Complaining subscriber] I paid for the Classic sub to get *all* the games, and now it's already just 10 out of 12...

A reminder: we have 12 games to choose this month and even Humble Classic subscription has only 10 choices. So maximum 10/12 games, don't burn your choices like you own 12/12 games.

Definitely gonna skip.

Well, I must say I am content with that content.
I mean... I wanted Shadow of War for so long. Also Them's fighting herds. I heard of this game since it was Pony fan game so when I heard about this game, I was really "wow, this is really similar to that one game". And I was right. And third game I wanted is Graveyard Keeper. I also had Bad North in wishlist too, but I'm not really sure why. Don't have idea what is this game about.
So... for me it's win-win. From 12 games I didn't like Street Fighter, so I dumped it and the Trailmakers looked like some low effort game. Also well... I'm not into lego simulation. So those two were banned from me. The rest are mine now. I'm astonished I didn't have Two Point Hospital in the wishlist, as it's very neat game. I'm not into car game, but GRIP looked like Rollcage to me, so maybe it will be cool. I also hope that DiRT Rally 2.0 will be at least close to Colin McRae games.
The rest are pretty neutral (don't really know them and have no idea what to expect) to me. So I'm okay with that.
IMO cool bundle. But I see the pattern here. Give the cool AAA game without DLC. This is actually good marketing. When You give away game for free or for small fee (~1-2$ per game), people will be interested... then they maaaaybe buy DLC. I don't like it but it's fair IMO. It's not shady tactics. The only thing I hate about it is that DLCs exist at all. Not that they sell them like that, giving great games without them.

Bad North is a nice little strategy game, with a rogue-like progression like FTL.

Comment has been collapsed.

I think I don't own any of them, except for Bad North (Epic Games Store gave it for free), I am Classic so I still have to leave one of them out. I am thinking... I don't know why but I would say Graveyard Keeper is the one of these which has more probabilities of endind in an Epic's free game (it's singleplayer) Apart from that, I think Shadow of Mordors precuel was also given for free or really cheap in Humble Store. Grip was also given in Alienware Arena, I tried it in the Xbox console GamePass, and even if it seems my type of racing game, I felt it was not a very good one, coild that be Xbox's fault?

Anyway, which one would you say it is probable of being in a cheap bundle or even given for free "soon"?

Well, if you are not in a hurry, don't pick the 10 games now. You can buy the Humble Choice now (or at the auto-billing date at the end of the month), pick 0, 1, 2, 3 games if you want to try them soon, and keep the rest for later, in months or even years. You don't have to choose them all now. (Do my unused choices expire?)

Dirt Rally 2 could be given away someday, when all the licenses expire. It's happened with most of the previous Dirt titles. Don't quote me on that though ;)

Middle-earth: Shadow of War doesn't seem to have an "upgrade to definitive edition" option on Steam so I might skip that one.
I got Bad North free from EGS and I don't care much about that pony fighting game, so I should skip one of these too.

I'm only getting it because of the classic subscription

This is my choice, at least intersted on LOTR, TwoPoint and Dirt 2.0... Bad North was free on EGS and Unrailed is multiplayer only, so i think was easy to pick the 10 games.

I meant to ask, how do you like Trailmakers? It looks interesting and I'd never heard of it before today.

Comment has been collapsed.

It's great! It caught my eye even before it was even on Steam Early Access. If you're into construction games (e.g. Scrap Mechanic) then you'll love this one. The building itself is pretty straightforward and intuitive, but the added bonus with Trailmakers is that there is a purpose to building and improving your vehicles. Either in the 'Stranded in space' mode or the rally mode. I highly recommend it, if you're into the genre at all :)

that wouldn't necessarily be bad, seeing as a lot of dlc and season passes go for more than the games themselves.

Pausing, nothing interests me here I got bored with Shadow of Mordor after a few hours, so I don't see what I would like about the sequel. DIRT might be good, but I have too many driving games that I already don't play. The rest don't seem that good. Anyway, I'm still playing Tomb Raider from last month.

Fuck having to choose, i kept the "classic suscription" because i didnt want that, i only realized i had to left 2 games out half way through so i already the two that i wasnt interested in and had to left them fighting herds and mages of mystaria out because of it, i know they probably said it could be more than 10 games at one point but it still really bothers me

I expected to be able to pick everything as well for some reason, so you're not alone

I only started redeeming my keys today and I kept wondering how it would add up in the end. Thankfully I already got SoW somewhere else and I'm only marginally interested in multiplayer so Unrailed was a fairly easy choice to skip for me.

Confused......
I am on the classic plan, so I get to keep all the games....
But.....there are more than 10 games!
Do I keep 12 now, or do I have to pick 10?

I think you only get the "Hospital Pass Rewards" DLC for Two Point Hospital by signing up.
But you can get another one through steamdb:
