Spring cleaning your wallet for this Monthly bundle? ☜(ﾟヮﾟ☜)
Nice! I almost bought it on Steam last week when it was on sale.

$40 game or $5 credit :P
This months games looks rather disappointing for me on the first glance. Please someone convince me at least one or two are good :)

So you are asking people to lie to you? This months bundle is pretty bad from what I am looking at.
Comment has been collapsed.
I was just kind of hoping that I'm uninformed. oh well the subscription has been great this far and some of these may even turn out to be decent games, for me :)

This monthly is pretty bad, but RIVE is excellent.

It is from the makers of Toki Tori and some other good puzzle games, definitely highlight of these unlocks. Poly Bridge is also great for that type of game.
Comment has been collapsed.
really? i sometimes get the impression people buy the early unlock, then then forget about that game and judge the bundle just by the other unlocks. i mean, total war warhammer is a pretty big one. that alone makes it a great bundle. and there are other good ones in there, too. i think it's a pretty good bundle. lot of value for the money, as always.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, Warhammer being in there is huge. Before it never got below 40 bucks or so.

Maybe you are right, but when the actual active user base cannot make a game push past even the 60s in ratings, I am wondering if we look at more at the title and price tag when determining whether a game in a bundle maybe good or not.
Comment has been collapsed.
oh, i don't give a fuck about the steam user rating. people generally downvote AAA games for several reasons. those might be technical problems, or simply "UbiShit". i am not even against negative reviews for technical reasons. i think this is a good way of making devs aware of certain problems. especially those who ignore forum posts and emails about it. but that also means the steam user rating is not a viable way of judging whether a game is good or not.
i mean, Rambo the Video Game is a great example. it has mixed reviews now, but it had mostly positive ones for quite a while. would it ever occur to you that Rambo might be a better game than TW Warhammer, or even of similar quality? ^^ and there are countless examples of this. you can see general patterns. AAA games always have it harder than indie games. certain publishers will automatically get lower scores. everything with connection issues or bad performance gets voted down to the ground. and all that has nothing to do with the actual gameplay.
honestly, if you're looking for a score, steam is by far the worst place to look. despite the valid criticism about it, i take metacritic over steam every day. at least game critics try to be objective. no critic would ever give a 0/10 (or a 0/1 ^^) for technical issues. but that's what happens on steam.
that doesn't mean steam user reviews are worthless. absolutely not. i love them. but you really need to read them. looking at the combined score doesn't tell you what you need to know.
in case of TW Warhammer, i just had a quick look at the reviews. seems many people do not agree with the DLC politics, so they vote it down. a game can be absolutely fantastic - if they add DLC and people don't like it, it will get bad reviews. that doesn't mean the game is suddenly bad.
another thing that applies for user reviews - people with problems or anger are more likely to go on the internet and be vocal about it. people who just enjoy the game often don't even take part in the discussion. so i think it is actually reasonable to believe that most games would have higher scores, if everyone voted.
Comment has been collapsed.
exactly that. i didn't play TW:W (yet), but i heard it's the best TW since Shogun 2. so those mixed reviews don't really fit. and they differ a lot from what critics say.
Comment has been collapsed.
won't happen in the near future anyway. since For Honor came out, i played nothing else. that game is fucking brilliant! and NieR Automata will come soon. also Mass Effect. so many games, so little time... ^^

Humble Bundle always provides a great value based on cost. But I am subjectively determining the value based on entertainment - which for me is zero - the monthly was a total bust for me.... not a single game title that I am personally interested in. Granted for many others it very well may have been a 'fantastic' bundle based solely on the inclusion of total war warhammer - that just does not apply to me.
Comment has been collapsed.
well, that's fine. but then you should be more clear about it. you didn't make the impression you wanted to say that it is just your personal opinion that the bundle is crap. you implied that everyone thinks that. ("So you are asking people to lie to you")
Comment has been collapsed.
aside from the main game the rest of the bundle was kind of weak.. Warhammer was the main price.. One piece 3 is ok, but really niche.. Space run Galaxy is like meh, ok I guess, The rest are something you'd expect to find in a Indie Gala Monday bundle.. just fodder to fill your library..
Comment has been collapsed.
Lol The Witness was just in Freedom Bundle. ..
Might pass this one OR they're trying to bamboozle us into skipping the month and instead April bundle is full of really good games.
Comment has been collapsed.
they are offering 5$ store credit instead of witness though
Comment has been collapsed.
Do you get this option from the key page once you've purchased? Is that how it works?
EDIT: found the details here: https://support.humblebundle.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003633387
Comment has been collapsed.
ONLY if you bought Freedom bundle, if not, you're stuck with Witness.
Comment has been collapsed.
meh, but you don't know what other games may or may not be in the monthly.. you could pass on it, and the other games may contain something you really want...
Comment has been collapsed.
um.. did i miss something or was humble supposed to have "never bundled before" games in these, how long has it been since the witness was bundled? this is very disappointing, but i guess my money will be going elsewhere
Comment has been collapsed.
They likely don't count the freedom bundle as a "real" bundle. They only occasionally do those pure charity bundles with finite contributions from developers.
Whether it's fair or not, this is probably their reasoning.
Comment has been collapsed.
It does seem strange that they chose a recent bundle repeat as a feature game, but they never claimed all the games would be never bundled before. Unless they release a bundle that's all repeats (and none so far have been close to that), they're technically still living up to the advertising.
Comment has been collapsed.
Probably the Freedom Bundle was unplanned. That's why they're offering the $5 store credit as an alternative (which is nearly half the price of the bundle.)
Comment has been collapsed.
Lol, they haven't reply my tickets, so you know what i got now >.<

you may wanna add
Bought The Freedom Bundle? Get $5 Credit instead.
Comment has been collapsed.
I need to think about this one, not 100% interesed on this one, but the greed is the greed.
Comment has been collapsed.
No option for skipping for already owning the early unlock? (Would have definitely gotten it if I didn't though!).
Comment has been collapsed.
You can get 5$ credit instead, but I think an extra key is a better deal
Comment has been collapsed.
I see. Well, I didn't buy the Freedom bundle, but traded for the Witness, so it wouldn't apply to me anyway. And yeah, an extra key is definitely the better deal.
Comment has been collapsed.
omg, cant choose between $5 wallet or 36,99€ game :) joking
Comment has been collapsed.
tbh if one have already the game and is not interested in trading, it's a good offer
Comment has been collapsed.
Agreed, 5$ is totally fine if you are not into a specific kind of games. It is nearly half the price of the bundle.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm subbed to April also (expansion) How do I get it ?
Comment has been collapsed.
that sucks. I didn't buy the freedom bundle because it was the only game I wanted, and I traded for it. Now I found out I could have just waited and obtained it with my monthly subscription :/
EDIT: hey! Actually I was able to choose the $5!
Comment has been collapsed.
Already have The Witness and the March bundle was pretty bad, so I'll skip this one.
Comment has been collapsed.
I got The Witness in trade an hour ago, so thinking about skipping next monthly. But this one was really bad, what if next one will be great. It will be their finger in my eye. :))
Comment has been collapsed.
Aah. I paused last month, and now it looks like it continues (will be charged on March 31st) and I have my 10% discount for humble store. I liked that. I can pause it again just before being charged and still keep my 10% discount for another month? \o/.
Comment has been collapsed.
If you are able to use the 10% discount then yes. Just pause again. Make sure the coupon doesn't expire until then.
Comment has been collapsed.
Not talking about the coupon. Looks like I will keep my 10% discount for the store as many days as I look like subscribed.
Comment has been collapsed.
Ah sorry! And wow, I thought they changed that. Last year I was paused for 2-3 months straight and I kept my store discount. But they said they changed it last month I think? Hmm..
Comment has been collapsed.
Why would they choose a game from the Humble Freedom Bundle as early unlock? Wow.
Edit: Ahh, $5 Store credit as replacement if you bought the Humble Freedom Bundle. I'm glad they didn't screw over the Humble Freedom Bundle buyers.

Nice, one of my most wishlisted games.. Staying sub for sure : )
Comment has been collapsed.
What? I went for the game, not the credit, and it's DRM-free only... Not steam!
Oh FFS.... https://support.humblebundle.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003633387 So much for gifting another copy. >:/
Comment has been collapsed.
What do you mean?
You have the option to choose between DRM-free or Steam key :)
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, buyer beware, mine says DRM-Free only.

On the page you linked there is a picture which clearly shows two options
Comment has been collapsed.
Correct. However, when I clicked the second option, it took my to the normal redemption page with the screenshot I posted above.

Yeah id take Jiseru's advice below and speak to support, hopefully they are humble against ya ;))

I've had no problems before now, so crossing my fingers!

Thanks! And sorry if I came off rude. Re-reading my post, it sounded that way to me. I meant no offense!

Oh don't you worry about that, I didn't take it like that at all so no harm done!
Appreciate it though :]
Comment has been collapsed.
that's misleading then. the screenshot clearly shows steam or drm-free there, so I'd.. just ask for a refund or something if you wanted it for Steam
Comment has been collapsed.
Wow, worst "Leader" ever I think for the monthly.
Hopefully everything else will make up for it. I'm still in, going to gamble they add a few decent titles this next one, since leader is weak and March will inspire cancellations.
Comment has been collapsed.
Why do you say it's the worst early unlock/headliner?
Can't be worse than Hurtworld or the CoD MP Starter Pack. Or Dragon's Dogma, inferior Skyrim knockoff (my opinion, I guess). Or even ARK, a game that apparently even really good comps can't run well.
Obviously, the Freedom Bundle conflict is not good. My first reaction was a face of upset confusion because of that, but honestly I think the $5 credit is not bad.
Comment has been collapsed.
Ark was one of the better ones, though I don't remember if it was a leader game, it plays fine on my machine, just takes up too much space on my SSD >.<
The $5 credit you can't get UNLESS you bought the freedom bundle. Pretty much saying it's the worst from the standpoint of being a full on bundle game (which makes even doing a GA for it near useless for CV)
Comment has been collapsed.
I'm pretty sure I'd rank Payday 2 and the DLC's which were given away in the first month as the official worst early release games, sinc everyone who subbed the first month already had the Payday 2 and extras, and we weren't given anything else.. or wait, was that before they started the early release stuff I can't remember..
As for Dragon's Dogma... man that game is pretty nice, although it can take some getting used too, and requires someone to put in the work to fully enjoy it..
Comment has been collapsed.
The Witness is GOTY 2016 ... for me. So its very subjective. But I am sure you mean it like: it is the worst, bcos everyone got to have it already. And you are right.
Comment has been collapsed.
Probably this will be my first subscription. I was undecided during the last 30$ Bundle because of The Witness, now it is time to catch up I guess. Hope it will be better than March though.
