Oh right. That’s why I wasn’t going to buy the games on the Steam sale and Epic sales yet, but I totally forgot. Damn it. Still, the way Humble Choice has been lately, I think I’m pretty safe, I doubt if any of those games that I bought this weekend will show up in the bundle.
I bought this a few weeks ago when it was on sale, so I’ve done my part.
pressing F to pay respects
It’s still at half-price on Steam FWIW, which is a historical low. I just want it cheaper. :D
I’m hoping for Wildermyth, Terminator: Resistance, Bonfire Islands (something like that, a block moving puzzle game).
I predict a headliner trio of Destroy All Humans!, Risk of Rain 2 and Spiritfarer.
I would sub to your monthly bundle.
Why in the world would you ever get your hopes up for one specific game to be in the Humble Choice bundle?? Have you counted the number of games out there? Go buy a lottery ticket, your chances are better.
And also, I have can tolerate the avalanche of complaints in this thread every month when games are revealed. Everyone is very welcome to share their opinions. But do we really need to start shitting on the offering before it’s even announced? Preemptive negativity about a hypothetical scenario is just polluting this thread with unpleasantness for absolutely no reason.
I already own Wildermyth, but I’d buy that.
I already own ROR2, but I’d buy this.

I can feel it. definitely Terminator.
You must be new here! Welcome to QT3. ;)
Trying to remember when they last offered an FPS in one of these, even a retro one like Ion Fury.
I’m hoping for EDF 5 + DLC at some point, similar to the way they did EDF 4.1 previously.

Humble just cannot compete with EGS and Amazon anymore IMO. I imagine there’s a serious competition for titles now between EGS, Amazon and Humble, and Humble’s meager budget isn’t enough.

What’s this referring to? There’s Luna, but that seems to be dead on arrival.

Amazon Prime gives away free games every month. Many people don’t know about this.

Yeah, I think I need to admit to myself that this is really just the “crap that’s already been on game pass but now you can get it on Steam” service, and cancel. The only reason I haven’t is that $12/mo. is not exactly painful. But the silliness of activating a bunch of games I’m not that interested in every 2 or 3 months is starting to get to me.

Yeah I’ve gotten to the same point. If a game doesn’t seriously offer something new compared to the competition, why add it to my backlog? For example, I don’t need 200 variations on metroidvanias when a few sample points will do.
I think people claiming EGS and Amazon are doing better are crazy but that’s me. Like, I look at this month’s Prime gaming and it’s some older-to-extremely-old AAA titles I already own and/or are bad and are cheap as heck if I didn’t, plus a handful of middling indies that are, yep, also a few years old and that I already own. Epic’s had some occasionally pretty decent giveaways and free is nice, but only rarely do you get the volume that you’re getting with Humble and again, I generally own about 95% of them, have for years, and don’t want most of the rest.
It depends on what you shop for. I owned none of those games, but all the Triple A games where ones on my wish list for when I had time to play them.
On the other hand, Humble Bundle just has games I have zero interest in. It doesn’t matter if they are brand new or not, zero interest is zero interest.
Which is totally fair. But doesn’t make the Humble offering bad. There’s loads of quality games every month, which for me generally include multiple wishlisted titles and a much fresher, more interesting selection than either Humble’s regular bundles or things like Prime. It can’t keep up with Gamepass, but Gamepass is just a rental program and doesn’t fit how I play games.
