This post implies that Risen 1, Sacred 1 & Metro 2033 are the unlocks for that Humble Bundle. Also hinted on savygamer.

That Sacred game is actually Sacred Citadel, the side-scrolling brawler spinoff that came out earlier this year. Still, with that and Risen, I’m getting 2 more games that I don’t own yet. Bollocks, I tell you!

Awesome. I was having trouble deciding which of the bundle games to start up last night. I was leaning really hard towards Risen 2 but, in the end, went with SR3. I’ve wanted Risen forever but just never seemed to get around to buying it. Hopefully now I won’t have to.

Amazon has Ni No Kuni for $19.99. It’s the PS3 RPG Level 5 made in conjunction with Studio Ghibli. Really beautiful stuff.

I’m thinking of getting that humble bundle for Risen 2.

But I promised myself I’d play Risen first before I bought to Risen 2, so I can’t. And before I play Risen (which I bought on a Steam sale a year or two ago), I was going to finish Gothic 2, which I’ve tried picking up a few times, but it’s so damn hard. I don’t remember the first Gothic being that hard, but maybe it’s because it’s been so long since I played it.

I have decided to not go for the bundle, simply because I have too many games from the recent Steam Sale that I promised myself I will get some games done with before I buy new stuff. My priority at this moment (man, this sounds like WORK!) is to finish Tomb Raider… then I will probably move to Deus Ex HR and maybe, in parallel, play Kentucky Route Zero. I don’t know when I will get to Fallout New Vegas and To The Moon, but I am not going to get Risen, I swear!!!

It’s now defaulting to another seller, since Amazon’s shipping time is now 1-3 weeks.

Ni No Kuni is also 19.99 at Best Buy, that’s a sale price for just this week. Earlier in the week when I checked the website there were a lot of stores near me that had it and they were doing ship to store but that doesn’t appear to be the case any more. I was picking up a Chromecast I had to get delivered to the store and remembered to check and they had one copy of it left on the floor. If you have a Best Buy nearby it may be worth looking.

Damn you Humble Bundle!!! I already owned KB:Legend and KB:AP on Impulse, but $3.50 to grab Crossworlds (and move the whole trio to Steam) hit my impulse buy threshold. Toss in all the Men of War goodness as a free bonus and I could not hit the BUY button fast enough.

I’m probably going to pull the trigger on that Deep Silver bundle too with those unlocks.

“I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if Slainte’s backlog just had another 10 games added onto it.”

Yeah I got both humble bundles this week, the BACKLOG grows!

krushnine · 2013-08-01T17:34:18.000Z

Sleeping Dogs is back on sale for 75% on Steam again to taunt me this weekend. $6.24 for the base game, and $13.74 for the DLC collection.

“Buy me, buy, buy!”, it says. Augh. Must resist.

Giaddon · 2013-08-01T17:44:18.000Z

Don’t resist! Sleeping Dogs is a great little open worlder. Six bucks is a great deal. The DLC can be safely ignored.

Gigglemoo · 2013-08-01T17:53:50.000Z

You have enough games already krushnine. Sleeping Dogs will be back at Christmas. :)

divedivedive · 2013-08-01T18:06:33.000Z

What the hell? It’s like I don’t even know you people anymore. Buy Sleeping Dogs dude, you’ll be glad you did.

Fenris99 · 2013-08-01T18:13:53.000Z

I didn’t like the key mapping.

Sleeping Dogs is a gamepad game if I ever saw one.

I’m a k+m guy, but maybe I should try that…

I am too, but since it’s mostly about melee and driving, not shooting, the gamepad controls work really well and I’m pretty sure are the interface it was designed around.

Wo1verine · 2013-08-01T23:37:28.000Z

I managed to finish the game with k+m, didn’t bother me. Definately well worth getting at that price, great game.

Thanks, all. I broke down and bought the base game. So many recommendations for this game, and I’ve been to HK a couple of times, so I’m curious to see how the game world looks. I’ll probably pickup the story DLC during Christmas. :)
