We have come to Week Forty-Seven - Week Twenty-Three of the Storm

For those who need, you can find an explanation of "The Storm" Here

I can not believe that we are at Week Forty-Seven already, only Three Weeks left until we reach that magical number Fifty.

This week we will be turning our attention back to Steam with a Group of Bundle Game Keys

Up for Grabs is:

Key #1. Risen 2, Sacred 2 Gold, Saints Row 2, and Saints Row: The Third

Key #2. Dead Island: Game of the Year and Saints Row: The Third - The Full Package (DLC)

Key #3. Metro 2033, Risen, and Sacred Citadel

Discussion this weekend - Bundles - What are your feelings and thoughts.

As Always - The Hall of Heroes can be found here

Not in, but thanks for the nice bundles in this giveaway Lou! +1

Things I don't like about recent bundles are Soundtrack bonuses and pure multiplayer games, not to forget games in Alpha phase and a little less Steam reselling would be nice. Still bundles are a nice way to get lots of games even if you are low on budget.

Not entering, but +1 for your generosity.

Im in for key three.

I like bundles in most cases but I dont pay much attention to them normally unless they have a game I want in them.

As always, Lou, you da man.

Happy being 50, while it lasts.

Cheers.

Bundles.. everywhere.. Well, I think it's a good way to try new games for cheap. Just not sure it is good for unsuspecting wallets.
Perhaps these bundle sellers should sign a contract, NOT allowing 30 bundles to run at the same freaking time!

I would like the Dead Island + Saints Row pack, this I am sure. ;p


Thanks Lou!

Many thanks for another giveaway, Lou! REP+ for you again ;)

I'm in for Key #2: Dead Island GOTY...

Bundles can be miss & hit, but mostly helpful. Sometimes I can get great games for a lower price which I wouldn't get otherwise while donating to charity, or have the chance to play good games I never knew. Although sometimes repeats appear or have games you will never play, most bundle sites let you give those keys to friends (according to their TOS), so it's still okay. My favorite sites are Groupees, Humble Bundle, Indie Gala and Bundle Stars. Unfortunately, Indie Royale has not been good lately... too many repeats and high prices for bad selection of games, so is not in my "favorites list" since a very long time.

Not in.

I think that bundles reinforced the notion of games as a collection, instead of something that you play. I have no idea how sustainable that is.

+1. Not in for myself, but please count me in on behalf of Azrael360 for Key #2.

My thoughts on bundles are that I like the concept of them, but I wish more of them included a GOG key as an option.

Thanks aJillSandwich ^_^
I also agree with the GOG key wish, if the bundle sites can add a Desura key for a DRM-Free copy of a game, why not a GOG key instead? But I guess for a low price we can't have everything... (:P)

Thank you again for all your giveaways Lou:)
Don't use steam etc so GOG bundles are best. +1

In for Stooner please.

Thank you so much again Lou ! :-)

Please count me in for Key #2. I don't have Saint Row 3, so I'll lost the DLC include in the key, but I'm so interested by Dead Island ! So I would like to be in for this prize if you don't mind Lou.

Bundles are so good and so bad for indie games. We're OK, for us it's a very good opportunity to get some games we'll never buy full price. But with the time, I got reflex I didn't have before.
I'll use 7 Days to Die for example. I wanted to "backed" the project on Kickstarter but my financial situation didn't allow me to do this. The game is released on Steam and is in my wishlist. I want to buy it, but everyday I think it's better to wait a new bundle. This game must be in a bundle. And if I got the money for the game, I'll use this money for Rust which have better appreciations. But two years ago, I bought games I wanted, I didn't wait for bundles.

I'm in.

Bundles got me to try out a couple of games I would have skipped otherwise, but on the other hand it flooded my backlog with a lot of junk I am likely to never play and often it just seems to substitute a bargain-binge.

Overall I just try to solve the situation for myself by becoming more picky of what bundles I buy. no matter how low the pricepoint is... when that works...

Thanks again Lou for your continued generosity with another opportunity, please count me in with a chance for the three keys. I like bundles because they provide an opportunity to try out games which I would never purchase separately and then be pleasantly surprised. Thanks again. :)
