Is/are Humble good at being bad?
...interesting bundle for German users:
"Pay 1€ for 0 Games"
"Pay 7.33€ for 1 Game"
Let me think a little about it .....

Aah... They do feel like bad guys with this right?

Those Mafia games, thought they were rated higher. Already have numero 2 so I`m not in a rush to jump on this either way.

Wow, what an unfair bundle for german customers.^^ Tier one costs 1 €, and you get nothing. They could have chosen an alternative to Postal.

How is Postal in tier 1 by itself? Come on, guys, you just put out that great stealth bundle. I'm not one to complain, but you could have at least threw in the first Mafia game, or even complete edition of Dungeons 3. The base game has been bundled to death. And what about Postal 4?

especially they did put postal 1 back in the day with 5 or 6 other games in t1 back in the day

Do you mean the removed original version of Mafia which used to be one of the rarest removed games on Steam and priced $500+ for like half a decade or the Definitive (remake) Edition that came out less than a year ago?
Point being: Neither one seems like it's going to happen anytime soon.
Dungeons 3 Complete Edition seems much more realistic. I think it's not really a game people give a damn about, is it?

I was honestly just spitballing ideas. I meant the remake, but honestly, I would take any new released bad guy themed game. So many out there. Hell, Kalypso released Immortal Realms: Vampire Wars recently. Reviews aren't good, but that could have replaced Dungeons 3 at the very least.
Plus if you're going to bundle games to death then put that Overlord 4 game pack in place of Postal Redux. Even that would have been better.

Postal 2 and Dungeons 3 as Tier 2, seriously? Also right this moment the T1+T2 BTA price is €9.98!
Comment has been collapsed.
I feel like Dungeons 3 or at least one of the Dungeons games are always available for cheap in a Fanatical bundle.

This is a Legend of the Keeper bundle.
This will only appeal to those who want are new to their Steam Library or Gifters wanting gift fodder and don't own that obscure Legend of the Keeper game for a historical low of $13.

"[Have] Besides Legend of Keepers everybody owns these" This... it's pretty accurate

:/ if the Mafia trilogy would be complete, I would bite. Have the original 2nd, 3rd one is way too generic to buy a bundle for it alone.
Tier 1 and 2 have games bundled so often, I'd expect them to pop up at Indiegala in a 2-3€ bundle. This bundle genuinely feels like a made-up concept just to sell tier 3's games, it's unexpectedly weird to see this setup.

Shame, Legend of Keepersis on my wishlist. But it seems it hasn't done exceptionally well after release and three games less for German customers, without any price reduction or compensation, is a joke.

Postal 1-2-DLC, or one of the Mafia games instead of the DLC?
Comment has been collapsed.
All of Postal. I'm not a fan of that series anyway, so not really a loss for me in that regard. Still stinks regarding value.

You really aren't missing much. The first game was fun to play for about 5 minutes. It gained it's fame from being offensive just for the sense of being offensive. There's arguments to be made for any game that pushed the limits of what was acceptable back then, but DOOM and a bunch of other games did the same thing while being actually fun to play. Aside from someone who might have some sort of 'mental or moral defect' (paraphrasing a dumb movie there) I don't know how anyone can honestly say Postal has any redeeming value or merit as a game. One level has you in a school yard with a flamethrower and when the bell rings, out runs a few dozen children who you then set on fire with no obstacles standing in your way. No enemies, no skill required. No challenge to the gameplay that might theoretically lend even the most minimal value in terms of gameplay.
I totally think it's wrong that you aren't given a lower price. You get less, you pay less. Indefensible to say otherwise. The fact that they are including games banned in regions means they are scraping the bottom of the bundle barrel and then not changing the price in those regions as well.... it's just more evidence of the decline and impending death of Humble Bundle.
Not getting the Postal games is the video game equivalent of buying a pack of DVDs and everyone else but you getting a copy of Faces of Death. Just like Postal features virtually nothing that makes a game a game, FoD is missing all the elements of what makes a movie a movie...and while both are historically relevant in the realm of censorship, and while I'm not trying to be holier than thou and trust me I'm a total degenerate, both Postal and FoD are ultimately the projects of people who patted themselves on the back for fighting censorship but were really just out to make a quick buck with shock and exploitation instead of giving gamers/viewers anything of real value.
You're better off spending your time with virtually any other actual game or actual movie ever made.

Well damn. That "be the bad guy" title had me real intrigued and hopeful. Not sure what I was expecting, but looking at the lineup now... eh, it's more of a dud for me. I already have Postal 2 + DLC (who doesn't?). Yes, I admit that I would like to play Mafia 2 at some point, as I really enjoyed the first game when I played yeeeears ago. The ending got me all sad. ;__; But I'm certainly not going to grab T3 just for that. It's only got mixed reviews on Steam so I kinda expect it to eventually get a deeper sale price. I'd probably pick it up on Steam for a fiver. For this cheap, I probably wouldn't mind too much the still present bugs in an apparently not-so-good remaster.

I'm probably one of the few people on Earth who never played mafia 2+3 and also have legend keepers in wishlist so... I took the T 3

There. Fixed it for you. :)
Well... if you're interested by all the games from T3, this looks like a good deal for you. Have fun!

I've never played them, either. Just not sold on this bundle. Stories should be good, so I hope you enjoy.

New Zealand also doesn't get Postal 2 or the DLC. One of our banned games, probably can't even be activated here. Shame though, not paying that much to redeem just Legend of Keepers if I can't even get the rest for someone else.
Comment has been collapsed.
I do as well, but I've noticed on other keys since then that can't be redeemed at all, such as Criminal Girls (got it on Humble, then found it wouldn't activate, I managed to get it through a VPN, but that method no longer works IIRC). They have been taking that whole banned in your country thing more seriously.

Isn't Postal 2 the one that the Postal developers outsourced? The abomination that they don't claim as their own because it was embarrassingly unfinished? Or was that a different sequel? Either way, yeah that one choice in the poll about Legends of Keepers sums it up pretty well for me. The rest of the bundle is old and many games if not all of the rest have been given away free over the years from one digital service or another.
Edit: My bad. Looked it up and Postal 3 was the buggy illegitimate bastard of the series that the devs never recognized as their own. Postal 2 was the one where the devs proudly made sure to mention in all advertising that the game included the voice acting talent of Mr. Gary Coleman. Not to rip on the guy. More ripping on the devs cuz they blurred the line as to whether they were being toungue in cheek or self mocking about their starring celebrity power, which he himself seems to have been cool with joking about in other guest appearances like his Simpsons as-himself appearance and I think maybe Robot Chicken or the like, or whether they were actually a little too sincere. This was back in the day when celebrities first started voicing games and Tim Curry being in a Sierra game was like thr equivalent of getting an A lister, but the Postal people really would not shut up about getting Gary Coleman.

You probably mean Postal 3. As far as I know, Postal 2 is complete and well rated.

no "im from germany and cant rlly buy this bundle"-option? :D

Sadly, when the poll was created, we weren't aware of the silliness of this bundle for German / New Zealand customers.
And once the thread is created, you can't edit anything about the poll - otherwise I would add it.

+1 dunno who thought about this ... atleast give another game or make the bundle cheaper
Comment has been collapsed.
13$ and only one game I'd like, Mafia 2. Own the rest. Easy skip
Comment has been collapsed.
I mean I'm not surprised as to Germans not being able to claim said games, that's nothing new, but I can't help feeling irony, or perhaps sarcasm, over the fact that this is the "be the bad guy" bundle and half the games I'm locked out from lol
