Time to send Humble an e-mail, I bought the bundle, then wanted to upgrade for BTA and accidentally ended up buying the bundle again instead. Let's hope I can get the orders merged, otherwise I'll have some extra keys to give away.

[JaseC]

Tropico 4 is making the move to SteamPlay (Win + Mac).

 

[Ventara]

Tbh, bundles like this are cool, but I still prefer those bundles with high-end indie games. Can you imagine a bundle with Transistor, Starbound and Banner Saga? Or something crazy like that? My mind will be blown. Hoping for something like that for HB11.

 

[crazyrabbits]

Ha, and I just bought the Bioshock Triple Pack a week ago during the summer sale for 3 keys. I still made out like a bandit on that one, so I don't feel bad giving away these spares. I had almost the entire pack anyway - week 2 extras will be interesting.

[wilflare]

You can buy the DDE, yeah. It includes a DLC app.

Edit: Nothing on the Humble Bundle page suggests that the game comes with DLC. I think you'll find it's just the standard edition.

the DLC we are referring to is the Man Made Pack DLC included only with the DDE right?
oh well guess I won't be able to upgrade my standard sub to DDE :/

I did redeem it but I'm not sure what you mean by this. It shows up as "Mafia II Retail" if that's what you meant.

gah was hoping it'll be "Mafia II Retail Comp"
so it'll come with these
http://steamdb.info/sub/6030/apps/

but if it's "Mafia II Retail"... here's all
http://steamdb.info/sub/8773/apps/

It won't let me redeem it because it's already in my library. So no idea if it'll add the DLC. Was hoping if it did it'd redeem over top of it.

guess it's really just the exact same thing

Yeah I guess we all can, but in the next year or so.

 

[JaseC]

That's the cut one? I have a german Paypal account but live abroad right now.

No, this is.

 

[C4rter]

That's the cut one? I have a german Paypal account but live abroad right now.

According to Steam DB the cut version is called "The Darkness II Standard Edition Retail Germany" I guess.
http://steamdb.info/app/67370/subs/

 

[Jørdan]

Hoping for something like that for HB11.

Given the more recent bundles and the continual influx of great indies I was hoping to see 10 as a great indie bundle.

 

[billmcdougal]

tip - after emailing, immediately contact their twitter and give them your case number. it will speed up the process (hours, instead of weeks)

Cool tip. I've gotta say though that I sent in a support ticket for a humble store purchase the other day and had everything resolved in about a day. Not to say that tweeting it won't get it done even faster, but credit where credit is due for their support team, from my point of view.

 

[JDHarbs]

Amazing Humble Bundle. Wish I didn't already have almost all of them.

 

[JaseC]

the DLC we are referring to is the Man Made Pack DLC included only with the DDE right?
oh well guess I won't be able to upgrade my standard sub to DDE :/

Just wait until the game is 75% off on Steam again and buy the DDE then.

 

[rainking187]

On the subject of Mafia II the store says I own the DDE version, but when I right click on the game in my library it says I have no DLC for it. Shouldn't I at least have the Made Man Pack?

 

[VikasNarula]

so everybody become hyperactive on 2k bundle.

 

[Divius]

What other 2K games do you guys expect next week?

 

[Kyougar]

Yep, these things happen:

I'm a little ambivalent about this gif :/ First and Foremost, Anime "Accidents" really seem to happen IRL. But this looks so fake, especially the first second.

Spoiler

propably not fake, but yellow-girl positions herself awkwardly in the right position. But Maybe she is really a socially awkward penguin Anime stereotype *shrug*

 

[johnssy123]

EPIC humble bundle...very nice.

 

[BadRamen]

This bundle is some serious value! I hope this means more people will actually play The Darkness II. Pretty fun shooter romp with slick visuals and fun mechanics. I should post some screens later!

 

[BinaryPork2737]

Smash TV doesn't exactly have a unique control scheme or game design though... If you mean specifically with the game show theme, there's Cash Guns Chaos for PSP.

Honestly, though, STV is kind of a crap quarter muncher designed to be unfair. Best leave it to your nostalgic memories.

You're probably right about leaving it to nostalgia, but I've only played the Midway Arcade Treasures port of Smash TV, so the quarter munching never really affected me

Dota Dash.
So we've gone from a warcraft 3 mod that emulated basic RPGs to a standalone game that emulates Mario Kart?

That boost power just makes me sad

*Facepalm*

Please, there aren't enough gams in this game for it to be remotely similar to Dragon's Crown

Tbh, bundles like this are cool, but I still prefer those bundles with high-end indie games. Can you imagine a bundle with Transistor, Starbound and Banner Saga? Or something crazy like that? My mind will be blown. Hoping for something like that for HB11.

I honestly prefer bundles like those compared to this 2K bundle. Hoping the weekly bundle will be really good this week.

It's just like one of my Japanese animes.

 

[VikasNarula]

What other 2K games do you guys expect next week?

NBA / Borderlands 1 or 2 ..... most probably

 

[Bel_Air_Jeff]

it is the best gif i've ever seen.

beautiful.

 

[Ventara]

Oh man, all these giveaways. Should've saved my fiver. Whatever, it went to developers and charity, anyways.

 

[crazyrabbits]

What other 2K games do you guys expect next week?

Borderlands 1 GOTY, maybe the X-COM Classic Collection, maybe DNF, long odds on Borderlands 2 base/NBA 2K14.

 

[Toki767]

I surprisingly only owned Spec Ops on Steam in that 2K Bundle not counting BioShock Infinite and XCOM.

 

[nampad]

No, this is.

According to Steam DB the cut version is called "The Darkness II Standard Edition Retail Germany" I guess.

[JaseC]

On the subject of Mafia II the store says I own the DDE version, but when I right click on the game in my library it says I have no DLC for it. Shouldn't I at least have the Made Man Pack?

The app id used for the DDE store page doesn't actually exist. Steam is detecting that you own the base game and is mistakenly saying you own the DDE because despite the URL and title the store page is actually tied to Mafia 2 the game.

To see which version you activated, check your Steam account page and CTRL-F for Mafia, but I can tell you that since you're not seeing the Made Man DLC, you don't own the DDE.

 

[freshVeggie]

No, this is.

Germany here, too. Always so cumbersome to get uncensored games.
Does that mean if I buy this bundle from Germany via german Paypal, I get keys for uncensored Bioshock 1 and Darkness 2 ?
These two are the only censored ones. What a pain.

[Ventara]

What other 2K games do you guys expect next week?

I'm hoping for Duke Nukem Forever. Not interested in Borderlands or Civ 5 (though I wouldn't say no to them either). Just seems like DNF would be a fun game to run through once.

I'm a little ambivalent about this gif :/ First and Foremost, Anime "Accidents" really seem to happen IRL. But this looks so fake, especially the first second.

Spoiler

propably not fake, but yellow-girl positions herself awkwardly in the right position. But Maybe she is really a socially awkward penguin Anime stereotype *shrug*

Actually, I think she fell awkwardly as well. It looks like she intentionally fell towards the other player. Maybe she's trying to play mind games and psyche out her opponent?

 

[MadGear]

Haven't played it myself yet, but I don't think 'fun' is the right word for that game

You mean because it looks bad to you or because of its harsh storyline? If the latter then yes, fun is probably the wrong word for it

 

[The Dear Leader]

I'm hoping for Duke Nukem Forever.

This is the first time that's ever been said.

 

[MMBosstones86]

Actually, I think she fell awkwardly as well. It looks like she intentionally fell towards the other player. Maybe she's trying to play mind games and psyche out her opponent?

I approve of these tactics.

 

[Divius]

The story and overall experience, basically art. Like reading a good book. But yeah, "fun" isn't the best descriptor.

You mean because it looks bad to you or because of its harsh storyline? If the latter then yes, fun is probably the wrong word for it

Yeah, I was referring to the storyline/overall experience obviously. I heard greatly terrible things.

 

[Darkroronoa]

That humble bundle is amazing but why now that i spent all my money on summer sale?
Why?

 

[phoenix296]

This is the first time that's ever been said.

I want to play it just to see how bad the trainwreck is.

 

[Grief.exe]

Playing Vampire the Masquerade on my new PC. I guess it takes a while to get used to it. Is there not character customization in appearance?

It's all in your race.

I know there are mods that adjust the appearance and clean up the vanilla races.

i'm amazed that there's still people playing several years after the game's release

 

[Tellaerin]

Actually, I think she fell awkwardly as well. It looks like she intentionally fell towards the other player. Maybe she's trying to play mind games and psyche out her opponent?

I dunno, they both looked pretty happy about the whole thing. Now I'm imagining some sort of "illicit romance across team lines" Romeo-and-Juliet sports thing. Maybe I should start writing yuri manga.

God, this game is sitting in my wishlist since December 2012. I need to make sure to grab it when it's on sale.

 

[random]

That's the cut one? I have a german Paypal account but live abroad right now.

Really late, but I was assuming that was the uncut one. The SteamDB ninjas confirmed that it was.

Germany here, too. Always so cumbersome to get uncensored games.
Does that mean if I buy this bundle from Germany via german Paypal, I get keys for uncensored Bioshock 1 and Darkness 2 ?
These two are the only censored ones. What a pain.

Since I am not in germany at the moment, it does only mean that using a german payment method will not get you a censored version.

I do not know what happens if you buy from a german IP, I could not find any reports.

 

[derExperte]

God, this game is sitting in my wishlist since December 2012. I need to make sure to grab it when it's on sale.

It might never go on sale again because of GFWL. Wasn't during the summer sale.

 

[JaseC]

I'm hoping for Duke Nukem Forever. Not interested in Borderlands or Civ 5 (though I wouldn't say no to them either). Just seems like DNF would be a fun game to run through once.

I didn't mind DNF and even played through the SP DLC. It's definitely a mess of a game that poorly straddles a line between dated and "modern", but the hodgepodge of largely "old-school" DN3D-inspired FPS gameplay and modern game design tropes (e.g. the occasional QTE) combined to make for a strangely endearing experience. I will say, though, that I don't think I could have stomached the game if the weapon carry limit in the PC version were limited to two, as it is in the console versions, rather than four. Whoever thought that going the Call of Doggy route in that regard would be a good idea was decidedly far off the mark.

 

[AbundantChoice]

At least more people will be able to play The Bureau now. Really underrated game.

Yeah, it's gotten a bad rap, but it's really not bad. Then again, i *love* Mass-Effect style combat systems, so it was right up my alley. I just wish the other agent AIs weren't quite so boneheaded at times.

Still, if you approach it sans baggage of what an X-COM game "should" be, it's good fun.
