Yeah, not sure why people insist bundles to have the same soulless AAA games

>>744665449
Because people always have a GOTTA GET MY MONEY WORTH mentality. Getting a single one of those games for $15 is usually more than worth it, and then you get extras.

It's nice for value and there is a vocal group of serial collectors that just hoard keys like dragons.

These are pretty great, if I didn't have almost all of them already. I don't think I have Infinite Wealth. Are they doing the big super discount on the DLC for it this time? If they're not going to include the Ultimate Edition DLC, the least they can do is give a big fucking coupon for it.

Is that voices dude going to crack Infinite Wealth at some point or nah? I did get Gaiden via Humble last year but never got around to playing it and probably won't anytime soon so I feel like there's no point in me buying IW right now

>>744666371
Though things dropped since the end of Monthly, I've kept my sub going for ages as I have the oldfag Legacy/Classic plan so I basically pay $8 or $10 . Most months I at least see one game that's worth that amount and often significantly more, though a lot of times either the "big" game(s) doesn't interest me or I already have it. However one of the best options that makes it far worthwhile even for those who buy games is
>Choice discount on Humble Store
which stacks with regular store discounts and can often do an order of magnitude better than any other legit keyseller, so long as the game is sold on Humble.

>>744665114
Kek. Can't imagine that's real, but would be hilarious if it was.

Hmm its still listed as the Classic plan basically 3-month at a time, at least for me. What's the new user subscription price per month or 3 month now? I thought it was $15/month but admittedly haven't looked for awhile
>>
This one is going to get a discount coupon right?
>>
>>744666259
Shredder's Revenge was given away for free on Epic or Amazon.

Still got the bundle for Yakuza, but overall pretty crap month.
>>
What did I mean by this
>>
>>744665667
Ehh. What was Classic again, $16? I can vibe with the main three at least, but they seriously struggle to have anything else in these worth a damn
>>
>>744665667
Never played Yakuza and I may have some mild interest in others. Gotta check and decide through the month.

Any important DLCs missing? Yakuza's don't seem interesting at first sight, and TMNT says it's the Ultimate Edition. Dead Cells'?
>>
>>744667154
Why are you even subbed? Just buy the specific key you want from re-sellers.
>>
>>744667210
Wasn't classic plan like $8 or something. Fuck this gay expensive earth.
>>
>>744667210
It's gone now and standardized to to $15 or 13€. If you bought in larger block maybe you haven't caught up to it yet.
>>
>>744667417
I'm on Classic through legacy by getting in at 2019 before they removed the whole thing and just stalling on most months.
>>
>>744667154
Did you pay for several months in advance?
I paid for three months when they started the Choice format, and it took me years of skipping until I finally was interested in another two and used them and cancelled the subscription. At that point they had removed the benefits for continuous subscribers.
>>
>>744666859
>discounts only 20%
That stacks. For instance, they just finally put Street Fighter 6 Year 3 Ultimate on sale, with a 20% discount on the store for everyone, but for Choice its 36% . A lot of thatsort of thing makes the choice stacking discount the cheapest legit keyseller around.
>>
>>744667601
now you lose the discount even if you just PAUSE rather than cancel
>>
how do you guys keep up with your humble bundle games? I usually just redeem the only 2-3 games I give a shit about and ignore the rest

>>744667974
toss me the ones you don't redeem. i only started this a couple months ago with octopath.

I dunno if I'd play Yakuza IW as my first Yakuza. Its story tends to be viewed as pretty bad, but the gameplay better than 7. I'd say overall just okay, but for me, the shitty story soured the entire experience for me.
The DLC for IW is jewish as fuck, they sold a post-game(?) dungeon, NG+, like 3 classes, and they also some optional little cutscenes with your party or something.

NG+ being sold pissed a lot of people off to the point they advertised NG+ was in the base for Pirate Yakuza.
>>
>>744668946
problem with the yakuza games is, 0 is so good, that kiwami 1 was a huge downstep, it felt way weaker than 0, I should have played release order... anyway thats why i dropped kiwami 1
sometime i should replay em all, but there's so many, its the one piece of rpgs
>>

>refuse to play judgment because the protag is ugly
Pity because Lost Judgement is probably the peak as far as combat is concerned. Plus it's satisfying as fuck to slap the shit out of little punk kids.
>>
>>744669352
Judgement games really should have been the path forward for Yakuza, but shit happened.
>>
the yakuza series is one of those cases where there's one really, really good game that literally everything else ends up seeming comically retarded by comparison, or you try to go through the series and find out several of the games kinda played like real ass just to build up to that game in the development pipeline. yakuza 1? rushed if okay story, rough first start. 2? great refinements and better combat flow, story is make or break on how much silly melodrama you can take and secret koreans. 3? dogass remaster and dumpster fire "remake" with pants on head retarded plot. 4? better gameplay, story goes right off the rails into pure stupid. 5? a russian roulette of too much in one game and the quality dipping hard at points while peaking at others.
then basically every dragon engine game plot is comically stupid and the actual quality of gameplay/combat is schizophrenic, with highlights like lost judgement feeling lost in the tide of constant releases and increasingly bad series-wide writing.

Humble bundle is designed for faggots with 300 games in their backlog

>>744669484
japanese crime drama is simply part of series' dna. kiwami treatments have had disastrous consequences for yakuza, though.
>>
>>744669659
308 now. Dark envoy looks good.
>>
>>744669691
there's a difference between japanese crime drama and the mess that 3 and 4 became in trying to overdo their twists and reveals. and that kinda started happening more and more in the DE era too. it starts feeling less japanese crime drama, and more anime soap opera that happens to center around crime.
>>
>>744669464
I liked that the stories in these were darker than the Yakuza stuff.
>>
>>744667612
too bad the only way to get that 20% is to never ever pause
I'm a good goy who only paused once last year and it nerfed my discount

I actually quite enjoyed Kiwami 1 one because the story scenes were more fast pace being a PS2 game. And the Majima system is a pretty fun little gimmick.

HOWEVER the DLC fiasco in Yakuza IW is fucking atrocious, can I just cream api it?

>>744665667
hey not bad, I'll get this
>>
>>744670341
Huh? Is that new? I was to understand that you could pause it but not actually cancel or fail a payment or whatever and not have it drop back to baseline 10% (still stacking). If you pay for multi month at least, I'm pretty sure you can pause it as I know I did a year or two back and it didn't drop mine ,but admittedly I had a "paid credit" in reserve (ie if I paid for 3 months, used the credit at payment for the first month, and then paused at the 2nd or 3rd month I'd still have 2 or 1 prepaid credits remaining etc). Maybe it doesn't work like that anymore and that's disappointing but I know at least in that particular situation I never lost my discount, but maybe its different for month-to-month subscribers

Frankly anyone who's concerned and has a choice membership should write Humble - it behooves them to sell more items on their Store by allowing people to keep a discount when paused under any circumstance as they'll sell more on the Store and encourage people to resume Choice when interested by treating them well. They used to be pretty customer friendly back in the day, but IGN meddling I know fucked things up for awhile though they did grapple a lot of it back.

Why only 1 dlc for dead cells. Theres like 20 of those and they are not cheap. Just bundle everything together...the base game is 1 euro anyway.

Yeah it's recent, I've never let my sub lapse and I only sub for a year at a time but last year is when I noticed that the bonus resets to 10% after pausing. I assume they're trying to disincentivize people pausing so much which is extra lame for me because I rarely ever pause.

I couldn't stand anything from 0 except the story, it saved me a lot of time by getting me to remove the rest of the series from my backlog.
It's neat that there's so much stuff to do, but the core combat isn't particularly good and adding more tools to your moveset means doing tons of minigames and substories that do not interest me in the slightest

>doing tons of minigames and substories that do not interest me in the slightest
uhhh
that's the yakuza franchise? am i wrong
kiwami 1 was that too

I got all the souls games pretty cheap back in the day, not 10 years after release like most people here who cry about DS3 never being on sale. Honestly? DS3 fucking sucks I always dumped it halfway or more through the game

>>744674858
Problem is they're not good. I gave pretty much every minigame a try or two, did roughly half the substories for each character, and spent a bit on the real estate stuff. Nothing has that spark that makes me want to keep playing it and many of the minigames/systems tie into another of the 80+ minigames/systems
>>
>>744674104
This is the YongYea game where the VA Director hired him so he could hang out with him, right? I'm guessing the subtitles are fucked and just using the English script anyways in this?

pretty good top 3, guess my 10 month pause streak is over
wasn't that impressed with the infinite wealth demo, but i'll give it the benefit of the doubt.
>>
Just got the email, i already have the yakuza and the others aren't interesting to me in the least, so yet another month I won't pay 15$ plus currency conversion fee for this.
>>
I'm on the fence since I've never played Yakuza, so it might be a bad idea to jump into the 15th or whatever game.
Dead Cells looks great, but doesn't have all the DLC.
Ninja Turtles looks alright I guess and has all the DLC.
The indie filler all look okay except Pile Up which I'm not feeling.
I already have Dark Envoy and I'm not sure I'll be able to find anyone to trade something for it.
