Your thoughts Humble Bundle Monthly, now with more.... choice?

@Gnuffi Oh man, that was a video I’ve been dying to make ever since I saw Rome II’s launch. The fact that the pirate meme is fresh in everyone’s mind after Sea of Thieves is just an amazing coincidence.

It was also an incredibly quick video to make while I was busy and still needed to make content after a lengthy period of inactivity. I’m hoping to get around to my main content plans in a week or two, though.

The first Destiny was garbage and this one seems to be the same. Five minutes in, first mission, and the game crashes with one of their bs errors.
I know how to fix the thing and be able to play the game, but port forwarding is too much effort. Like it’s too much effort having proper netcode, right Bungie?

I actually never bought a Humble Monthly bundle. But I’m really thinking of buying this one, even if the currency exchange is not good for me right now.

I played the free content of Destiny 2 and liked it somehow. I don’t know if I’m gonna play that much, but since Blizzard doesn’t give discounts that much (like Steam does), it looks like a very valuable bundle. I’m just sad I don’t have a 10% discount right now haha

You can buy a $1 tier game bundle and it will give you the coupon. It is only a little cheaper this way but then you get more games out of it :slight_smile:

Reviving an old thread to talk about the new bundle.

Destiny 2: What an awesome featured game. Much smoother than I expected, visually stunning, enough depth for an RPG-lite focused on its gunplay, and an intriguing world worth exploring (even if the main story is only “okay”).

Yooka-Laylee: Trash-garbage and a hollow imitation of former Rare greats. It might have had potential had Team17 not squandered it, a sad case where a Humble Kickstarter project asked for help from the wrong publisher. Go play A Hat in Time instead.

Styx: Haven’t played it yet, but as a Spiders fan I’ve been looking at it for a while. It’s another Focus Home title that looked like quite a bit of fun, if a bit janky.

Cook, Serve, Delicious 2: The first, but better. I honestly have no complaints. The only difference would be more foods, a slightly improved UI, and new features such as Holding Stations, restaurant customization, and so on. The artstyle isn’t nearly as drastically changed as the screenshots led me to believe, and overall I found it to be a great successor to the first. All I can really do is thank the developer for allowing Humble to include it.

Bear With Me: I looked at this a while back, and only skipped it because I figured that I would play Episode 1 and never bother finishing the story. Now that I actually OWN it, I should really go try it out.

The other games in the bundle don’t really interest me. Never heard of them, no real interest in trying them.


So… yeah! $12 x2 well spent. Yes, including Destiny. If you’re not @Fraggles, I think you’d be quite happy with the bundle that dropped here.

I would have been more likely to buy that monthly if Styx was the featured early released title, but then I would have been very disappointed in the rest of it. Nothing here I’d want to play

If you still hold that opinion in a month, I shall take my hat off to you.

No, I think it is an awful bundle for my tastes too but if you’re happy, that’s all that matters. I’d like to echo @Fraggles and say I’d have left my subscription open if I knew I was getting Styx but I’m glad I didn’t, the rest would have been disappointing… ‘To The MAX!’

Looks like next month isn’t going to be much better… Pour moi.

Don’t forget Ken Follett’s The Pillars of the Earth. That’s the title I am most looking forward to from this month’s bundle, actually…

i’m “avg” about this month’s bundle
while i wont talk about destiny 2 more, i’m very happy about styx and pillars of the earth
bear with me looks neat to me too
yooka might possibly not even be worth the 2$ entry price, but haven’t formed a final opinion about that yet
so far, seems a couple going to be added to my spare games/GA list this month at least :man_shrugging:, but i got something, and not an entirely wasted month for me :relieved:

The latest 3-4 month has been a disappointment to me, so as for today I canceled it. I just get games that I in the end don’t play. :frowning:

I respect your opinion about Destiny 2, but even my old clanmates from D1 with more than 3000 hours on their back, don’t like this “new” game. The clan is now a ghost town, nobody is playing.

I agree that when all constellations aligns and the game works, the shooting is good, but vanilla D2 will be near to useless in a few months and give it away in a bundle is just a smart move to boost a dwindling player population while at the same time sell some DLC.

Styx has the opposite problem, the gameplay is just plain bad. Stilted movement, wanky animations and collision detection. It’s like driving a truck and pretend to be stealthy. The first game had the same issues, they tried with the new one, but seems to be out of their reach.

I’ve checked out Yooka-Whatever, and gave me motion sickness 5 minutes in. That camera is terrible… both of them.

From the new bundle I already own the only game I’m interested in, so I think I’m done with HB.

Edit: there’s one thing about Styx, it runs really smooth on my PC. I’ve previously played it on console and on PC runs like a dream. I also love the setting, but they should put some serious effort in the gameplay department. Third time the charme, maybe? Such a shame -.-

A friend of mine that liked D1 a lot recommended D2 to me, but did warn me in advance that it didn’t have the kind of content that D1 had post-game.

Here’s the thing: D1 wasn’t considered a good game. Bungie really hauled a__ to get D1 to a state where people were happy with the game. I have a feeling that, with Destiny 2’s much better reception at launch, they overestimated their community’s goodwill in terms of post-launch content, which is where it all went downhill. If all goes well, I’m hoping the upcoming expansions will be enough to bring D2 back. Either way, I’m happy with what I got. It looks as great as No Man’s Sky artistically, the lighting engine is beautiful, the gunplay has that Bungie feel, and the story is actually tolerable (not interesting, but the worldbuilding makes up for it).

I know that Styx is going to be a cluster of Eurojank and good intentions, but I still want to play it regardless. I’m definitely looking forward to that one.

I have to agree on YL though. I don’t have any real motion sickness complaints, even though the camera IS poorly designed. It’s just a lifeless shell of a game that could have been great… Team17 squandering potential, imagine my shock. Then again, the store page let you know what you were getting into…

Unfortunately I’d have to agree, the Destiny 2 bundle was overall pretty poor.

Only game I ended up redeeming was Cook Serve Delicious 2, surprisingly I’m not enjoying it as much as the first game.

On top of that, I already had Yooka-Laylee and was probably the only person on Chrono that actually enjoyed it. I don’t think it’s bad, just average, a disappointment but still has some enjoyable moments. Shouldn’t have been in the bundle, but I guess you’re never guaranteed quality.
