Is Humble Bundle still relevant?

[randomgamer]

I buy the book/audiobook and comic book deals.

 

[Monkeyz]

Well i do recommend the tiny build bundle grave keeper alone is worth the buy

 

[Fulcrum29]

As expected, no early reveal. They may cheapen out on this bundle due to the upgraded COD edition. 2 Days to go to experience the value, maybe they surprise...

This is the worst Humble Monthly to date.

- COD: BO4 Standard Edition (Some people scored two copies here)
- 911 Operator
- Red Faction Guerrilla Remarstered
- Duskers
- Paratopic
- Pool Panic

Red Faction is a good game though, but a bit dated. They say the total value is $139... The Red Faction Collection the other day was around R70 I think. The rest is schite.

BUT, next Humble Monthly July with Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice and Moonlighters. Both of which are great games, and Hellblade: SS for a mid-budget game is sublime and Moonlighters have a very good reason for the number of units it sold. I guess, at the value of these two games, that there may be a gem or two to still hidden.

Well, there's $6 wasted. Got Red Faction on a $5 special, a while ago and received the re-mars-tered shortly after for free. The rest is not worth $6 for me.....wasted!!!

They had no early reveal, that gave away that the bundle was to be poorly received.

Their agreement with Activision Blizzard likely chowed into their sponsorship allowance. I doubt that the COD: BO4 Standard Edition was blindly given away, there must have been some compromise to upgrade the Battle Edition even though Activision Blizzard wants more players they are all about the revenue. You see BO4 didn’t sell as well as the previous COD, probably why they are busy with a reboot to cycle their player base again which deviated towards other games and genres.

The indie game selection is poor, not worth the money. Duskers looks interesting though, will give that a try.

As I have already said, next month's bundle has to early games which is exceptionally good in my opinion which is worth the subscription. Though… Steam’s next big sale is coming and both those games may be picked up on the cheap then. Best pause, unless you want to play these games now.

COD is useless, can't even play a single mp match. Zombies is fun though, damn hard.

It is an awesome mode in co-op, but I don't know many people who like a 100gb, now and then playable, game dumped on their storage.

Yeah, been trying to complete voyage of despair but the 100gb is biting me, so many other games I'd rather install. Modern fps are killing me, cod, bf, actually enjoying the "free" games more aladins, Fortnite, world of ships. I finished Northgard last month and am enjoying mutant year zero.

If you want to play MP your only hope is normal deathmatch

With more than 20 titles I actually want to play, I've subbed to Xbox Game Pass for PC:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-za/store/collections/pcgaVTaz?rtc=1&s=store&skipitems=0

The first month was R15,90 thereafter it is R69,00
https://www.microsoft.com/en-za/p/xbox-game-pass-for-pc/CFQ7TTC0KGQ8?icid=HP_qlSm_CP2

Additionally some epic only titles* will also feature on ms store. If you can get past the "terrible downloading" then it should be all good. Imho it is a better deal, well for me than origin's sub was...

*Metro Exodus
*Outerworlds

It's just a bunch of things that no-one really needs and that you think that you may use, and added perceived value because it's bundled, so it appears that you are hedging your bets, "They can't all be bad".
