They should have these Megabundles more often. My eyes nearly popped out at the sight of them! Then again, if they spread it out across several bundles, then you get more for less, because with all of them you get the bonuses, too. Wonder when they'll hit the 5th bonus, if at all? It's fun to just watch, even when you can't buy.

Isn't it basically a combination of their previous two bundles on Groupees with the addtition of their more casual games and maybe a couple of others?

Is it just me or is this bundle selling kinda slow?

I'm not surprised. How many times can you offer the same games (plus some "new" throwaway titles) without there being diminishing returns? I would be hard pressed to buy one, much less than the minimum three games, from this tired list.

My thought exactly. Looking at the previously un-bundled games, only two seem to have got even alright review scores, and those are Rhiannon & Bridge Constructor, and the later is rather niche. Apart from that The Chose: well of souls might attract a few customers, who either are not overly picky, or who are ARPG-starved.
As for the remaining ones, Hot Dog King is apparently horrible, and the only reason I could imagine someone picking it up is due to the scantly clad women who are featured in the trailer, Bus Driver & Big Rig Europe looks like sub-par versions of some already very niche games, and the fact that I can't quite figure out if the video they picked for The Stalin Subway 2 was meant to be funny, showing just how poor the game is, or if that is an actual trailer is quite telling (and yes, The Stalin Subway is a really bad game)

Oh, and for those interested, here is the best part of The Stalin Subway: the rather out of place main menu music
If they really wanted to use that song, something like this would have been more appropriate.

I really love Groupees and I try to support every game bundle they offer even if it's just a little money.

For this one, I bought a couple of games I already own simply to gift to others that might not be able to afford even the minimum. Plus there were at least two DRM-free games that I didn't already own. So yes, I agree that many of these are repeats but it is a "build-a-bundle" for anyone that is missing some of those games and I really like that option!

It'll run for two weeks, so there's still time for all the bonuses to be unlocked.

Yes, but last time they ran out of bonuses so fast it was funny.

Wasn't going to get it (since I got both the earlier ones), but somehow I ended up with 8 games...

(What's worse is I'm almost regretting not adding the Stalin Subway games after watching the main menu music video!)

I managed to find enough games for myself, and bought a bunch more that I then gifted and ninja'd away. So that's not a problem. It just seems this one is selling rather glacially compared to that last few bundled that came around. The comments about most of these games being either previous offers or inferior additions helps explain why, now.

I'm hoping all the unlocks aren't Steam keys as well, but if they are, more ninja'ing ahead.

What game is worth it besides Robin Hood? I still need two :). Is there a point in taking grotesque tactics 1&2?

If you like horror themed puzzle games, Scratches is OK. Most reasonable people don't like Grotesque Tactics, but it has its apologists.

Agreed with Negatus that Scratches is a must have as is Nikopol if those types of games appeal - I also got Rhiannon and Astroslugs - already own Chains but then I do like a puzzle game. I have both Grotesque Tactics but haven't tried them as yet so I can't comment.

Some peeps seem to like Deadly 30 as well. I recommend checking out the game cards!

amok: So I have now tried The Chosen a little bit, and got some initial impressions.

4) The skill tree and character progression is a bit disappointing. I am trying the ranged hunter first, and so far all I can do is level up some passive skills. You can have only three active skills at a time (offensive, defensive, other). So for example for offensive you can put your skill point in for example Power Attack (increased crit chance) and later on Convert (chance on hit for mob to fight for you for a short time) but you can not have both active. What makes it not work is that for each level you get 1 skill point, and most skills are locked and only opens up on later levels. This means that in the beginning you have very little choice about where you dump your skillpoints, and later on they become irrelevant as you want better skills, but then the point is "lost" (if it makes any sense...) It is easy to change skills on the fly, though, but the system do not quite work and I am not sure how they came up with it.
Seems like the skill trees are also the same for all three characters? Apparantly the only difference between the classes is in the general stats and the items they use. I tried the demo for a bit, and while the monk wearing a magical staff can make a melee attack by left clicking and shoot fire by right clicking, the huntress wearing bow or gun does not seem to have a use for the right mouse button and her mana so far, she can only shoot and shoot by left clicking. Judging from what I've seen, I don't have very high hopes that there will be a lot more magic and special attacks later on ...
