There should be a law that a game has to be released for free if it has a certain number of in-game purchases. Feel bad for all the people that plopped down 60 bucks or more on Dead Space 3.

Yeah! I'm very glad its on that bundle - though it seems that the dlc available is purely aesthetic / pay to win stuff - unlike with ME2 where there were mission packs a plenty

That is a darn shame of them to do. I always figured the pay-to-win stuff ought to be for second run play unlockables after finishing the game first.

yeah it all looks like "couriers stash" style dlc and a load of outfits that no doubt make the game easier somehow. big poo!
still, were they free i wouldnt knock em so much, but theyd still dampen the game some - still, there dont appear to be that shit with DS 1

Outside of the smaller indie stuff, survival horror is dead. Big game publishers think the western market just wants shooter games and nothing else. Dead Space did well and kept survival horror around and along with Bioshock brought some of the feel of System Shock 2 back? Fuck that! Bring out a third person shooter game that will feel like Halo with 'scary stuff' in it.

I miss AAA games giving out more variety with their stuff. Playing it safe just makes things boring.

Well stated, IAmSinistar - thank you.

Ha! I have been so fast these two days. Redeemed. Thank you so very much!

Cheers! You're welcome, enjoy!

I usually don't say much about the whole "bad dog" commentary since on one hand, I like HiB and I want to support devs. Really. In fact, a while back, amok's comments made me decide to stop trading those keys and basically stop trading altogether with rare exceptions where someone is looking for a game I've bought in another bundle or elsewhere and for the most part I'm not really benefiting (I usually gift the games I got in the trade).

But lately all this "hand-smacking" has gotten out of hand and turned GOG into the kind of place where I'm a bit uneasy and unhappy to hang out... For me, GOG has been a place of refuge, a place where I've made a lot of friends that I truly care about - the world is wide and wondrous;-)

Listen, there are so many real ills and problems in the world - homeless people wandering the streets, stupid idiots texting while they're driving multi-thousand pound weapons of destruction, wars about theocracy , schools failing the children being taught in them - take your pick of real-life issues that could use some passion... Frankly, the argument about bundle keys pales in comparison.

So my take on this is passion is it's amazing but use it to do real work in the world. HumbleIndieBundle is a business and they can take care of themselves in whatever appropriate ways their legal staff feels works to protect their interests - bundling games onto one key or whatever but in the meantime, state your piece once and stop turning GOG into another forum full of bitter, angry commentary. We heard you the first time, amok and we heard you the four-thousandth time. Continuing to argue only makes your point seem pointless and mean but it turns a nice forum into all those other forums that most of us loathe...

So here's my wish - if you're going to respect HiB's wishes, then respect mine too: State HiB's wishes where ever you see a HiB key being gifted and then say nothing else. Then perhaps you'll consider using your amazing passion and energy to do good in the world at your local soup kitchen or food bank - I gotta say that nothing is quite so satisfying as sorting cans or serving food to someone in need of a good meal.

While I understand HiB in the situation, as well as GOG for getting in the middle while having nothing to do with the organization, I still agree 100% with what you said there. HiB, or the charities aren't gonna go bankrupt if they lose a number of customers because they got gifted the game(s) they wanted from the bundle. Some people are poor enough not to be able to even hand out money for the $1 tier: if they get the games via a gift, then I think that's some kind of charity too.

And since when does anything in this thread have to be relevant?
Also I'm complaining since they can't even bother to register to at least say thanks. No matter where I've gotten a code, I always said thanks, even registered a few places to say it if I didn't have an account.

back to giveaways...
