Will you buy it?

Shifting my gearbox into the purchasing gear!
Indecisively shifting forwards and backwards. I need hints.
The bundle is out, and I'm still undecided.
This costs too many denarii. My wallet refuses to open.
So many rebundles shifted into this... no buy.
Shifting into reverse, get out of here G.R.O.U.P.E.E.S.!

At first I thought it said "Shitty Summer Bundle", I thought it was nice they're finally being honest.

All unbundled? Unsure if I believe that.

I don't know, I'm assuming this is ShiftySlug's bundle (hence the name) so I have more trust in him saying they're all unbundled than some other random non-staff curator.

I'm interested in both games.. but damn that's a high price. I wonder how they're justifying having a higher price with this one.

These trustworthy non-<random-non-staff> curators apparently also sell 90%-off-in-winter games as brand new unbundled material.

Yeah the value here kind of sucks. No idea what warranted the $3 price, not seeing anything here that's worth anymore than a normal bundle.

Well well, GRAVEN is on my wishlist and the chatbot seems to insist that Downfall might also be included O.o
Might actually try preordering this one tomorrow (more hints by then, hopefully)!

Yep, seems to be included in the bundle. I updated the OP, thank you!

Who is "ChatBot"? Is it a staff account? Are they saying that Downfall is included and are they always correct?

I have never preordered one of these and don't usually pay any attention to the bundles until they are released, but if Downfall is guaranteed to be in the bundle, I will buy it now.

The chatbot is just that, an automated bot. It tells you whether you already own any of the games in an upcoming bundle. Based on that, you can deduce what games are in the bundle. It exists in the chatroom on the Groupees site, under the discussion for the specific bundle.

Thanks. I did some research and have been playing with the bot. I used the !help command and looked though all the options, but I don't see how I can get any info about the bundle out of it. How do I get it to tell me if I own any of the games?

I assume that Downfall is confirmed because it was added to the hints list in chatbot:

On Steam, at least fifty, yes. In general, maybe around a thousand or so.

Nah, around 250-ish, I think. I just recently realised that I may have only played two Eipix HOGs in my entire life, and they are the biggest and the most acclaimed HOG developer for many years in the running now. So definitely there is a lot of room to catch up.

$3 is too much for a regular price bundle much less for a preorder price. I'll pass.

Maybe it's Groupees Solid Bundle?

Which would be somewhat ironic, seeing it's shifty name...

I'm hoping "Fun" is supposed to be some kind of hint. Maybe it was used as a tag for the game as a joke. If Fun is seriously considered a genre I'm losing faith in humanity.

Thank you Sensualshakti and I pre-ordered this bundle. The revealed games look like nice ones. :D

Those reveals do look pretty nice. Somehow though the difference between $2 and $3 is the difference between "yay more games" and "my backlog is too big already, I don't want these that much",..

Hah, nicely said :D $3 is very expensive for a preorder, but those reveals justify the price somewhat :)

Where does that Downfall confirmation even come from? I've been reading the chat backlog and while I see who added it and when, it's not clear to me how they came to that conclusion.

I checked the chat log. If you scroll up you can see that ShiftySlug confirmed it. It's 100% confirmed.

Since Graven is tagged as hidden object, os that the hog they're talking about or there's gonna be another one? I'm interested in it, and I know a friend who'd like Downfall, but at 3$... uhm...

Might aswell, The Cat Lady was pretty good, so that new game looks interesting. And HOGs are great for the GF.

Downfall was originally released in 2009 and is now free, but it has bugs, it is referenced in The Cat Lady. This is a remake with some major updates.
