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!

^^This^^ so totally this ;-D

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. :)
