We're quadrupling the amount of Double Fine fun you can have with four awesome games from Double Fine Productions and a whole heap of extra stuff! Pay what you want and get the beloved and hilarious platformer Psychonauts; the matryoshka doll epic adventure Stacking; and the adorable adventure/RPG Costume Quest. If you pay over the average, you'll get the heavy metal action/adventure/RTS rocker Brütal Legend. You'll also become a slacker backer of Double Fine's Kickstarter point-and-click adventure game, Broken Age, with a purchase of $35 or more and receive the finished game and bonus content that comes with it! And if you pay $70 or more you'll receive a limited edition Double Fine T-shirt (choose from two color options) in addition to everything else! Additionally, this bundle includes tons of soundtracks that will have your ears jumping for joy!

I'm not too sure about this new model for the Humble Bundle, with extra content at set prices rather than just beating the average. Regardless, these 4 games are fantastic, and worth every penny they're asking for them. (Average currently sitting at $7.60)

The new model just lets you buy into their new game via Kickstarter.

EDIT: But thanks for the heads up! I just bought the 4 games, even though I already got Psychonauts from a previous HB.

Bought! While I didn't really care much for the extra content, I guess it may be a good way to drive up the donations considering that some of the cash paid goes to charity? I dunno.

Eh, I might skip this one. Double Fine is getting far too much attention, and their games aren't that great(minus Psychonauts). And the "set price" for the preorder is something that doesn't belong on a Humble Bundle like that.

Not interested in Costume Quest, I already have Psychonauts, not interested in Stacking, considering the current port quality of Brütal Legend and the up in the air nature of future patches/fixes/support I'll pass on it until its on sale for less and due to that I'm not touching Broken Age until it comes out if at all. I hope their Weekly Sale come back soon.

$70 for a t-shirt? Really? Really?

Still, it's a good collection of games from a generally good developer. It's definitely a cool promotion, though I think I'll save my money for the next one.

Yeah that's my take on it too. I don't have or want Costume Quest and I already own Stacking and Psychonauts. I'll just pick up Brutal Legend in a Steam sale.

Kind of getting sick of seeing the same games over and over.. Psychonauts is the only one worth considering, I'll pass on this one.

Yeah, quite expensive for a t-shirt. Then again the last few years I've been buying collector's editions of certain games, and if I were to look at what I actually get for the price, it's hardly ever actually worth it. It's more of a "I like these games so much I'm willing to pay extra to support the company releasing this game". But eh, yeah I don't really care that much about Double Fine, only heard good things about Psychonauts that I still haven't played.

About Humble Bundles: To be honest at some point I stopped even caring what games I actually get. As long as there is one game that I still don't have, even if it's a game I never really wanted to buy, I've just bought the bundle for just slightly above average. I just boost up the charity slider more if they are games that I really don't care about... Because, uh, charity. I guess. And because I want to fill up my Steam account with games that I'll never get time to play. *shrugs*

I have a couple of the games in this bundle, but I find it difficult to turn down a bargain, so nabbed.

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
