The Humble Bundles have been exceptional lately, offering a good mix of AAA and indie titles for a fraction of their combined cost. You could almost say that offerings like PS Plus and Games with Gold could learn a thing or two, and the latest bundle doesn’t change this one bit.
Headlining the latest Humble Jumbo Bundle is Saints Row IV. It’s the one sequel I haven’t played yet, but the idea of Saints Row AND superpowers does excite me. It’s the premium part of the bundle, asking you to fork out no less than $12 for the lot.
If that’s too pricey then there’s still loads on offer for the average price. You’ll bag Grid 2, Blackguards and my personal favorite, Euro Truck Simulator 2. I tell you, dealing with French border patrol while driving a suspiciously massive vehicle is exhilarating. The average price is sitting at $5.86 at the moment, and includes the dirt cheap titles too.
They’re the ones you can literally pay anything for, despite the fact that they’re al pretty great. Insurgency is perfect if you love Counter-Strike, since it’s essentially the same thing. Always Sometimes Monsters is a quick, and extremely challenging indie game and while I don’t know much about Tesla Effect: A Tex Murphy Adventure I have been told it’s pretty great.
There are also more games on their way, as is usual with these Humble Bundles. Personally, I think there’s a lot of quality on offer here for a fraction of the price, especially if you’ve never played Saints Row IV or Grid 2. Or Euro Truck Simulator, obviously.

It looks rather appealing, but over $10? NAHP! Skipping this one. I have been skipping a lot of Humble Bundles lately actually…

You already Own SR4 (don’t you), so just go to average price… XD
UltimateNinjaPandaDudeGuy
November 12, 2014 at 15:30
Actually don’t own it yet… I find the game to be too jokey and then I get bored of the non-realism =/ Might pick it up for under $5 I think.

November 12, 2014 at 15:32
Ah, Well, then follow my method, buy it, IF YOU PLAN TO FREAKIN’ PLAY IT! damn.

I normally go with that. Even the HB have like one game I want to get normally, but I am making a mission of saving atm. No money spent on anything really.

Screw that. The first rule of Steam Account ownership is that the more games on your list the more your peers will respect you!
Viking Of Divinity
November 12, 2014 at 15:38
So, In theory, If I have 113 Games, how respected Am I? (note I have acquired such over the course of little over a year)
Kromas, Guardian of Cenarius
November 12, 2014 at 15:39
113 would be Padawan in Jedi nomenclature. Respectable people have over 900!.
That being said 113 is respectable. 🙂
Captain JJ the valiant
November 12, 2014 at 15:40
900?! But if you have a girlfriend or wife, surely you get some slack.
Kromas, Guardian of Cenarius
November 12, 2014 at 15:41
Uhm. I have a friend with a wife. She has over 100 games on her steam profile. 😛
Captain JJ the valiant
November 12, 2014 at 15:41
Well. Clearly I’m hanging out with all the muggles. ;P
Kromas, Guardian of Cenarius
November 12, 2014 at 15:43
Don’t worry I am about to crack 200 myself. (probs only finished about 100 of them). Time to become a Jedi Knight.
Viking Of Divinity
November 12, 2014 at 15:45
HAHA, my competion rate is higher, I think I’ve finished about 90 of the games I own. Mostly Indies in my “not yet completed” log.
Kromas, Guardian of Cenarius
November 12, 2014 at 15:46
Well I got 1 perfect game. No idea what it is but it is perfect.
Viking Of Divinity
November 12, 2014 at 15:52
lol, I have one of those too, Thomas Was Alone.
Kromas, Guardian of Cenarius
November 12, 2014 at 15:54
Also the completion rate is quite off.It does not count the old games I bought just because of convenience. Like pretty much every game before steam. I finished Kotor 2 like 6 times before I bought it on steam.
Oh and most of my games are simulation type games. DayZ and Kerbal will never finish. 🙁
Viking Of Divinity
November 12, 2014 at 15:56
Yeah, I get that, same here, my Steam doesn’t count the games I finished pre-steam Hell, because I was playing offline, my Skyrim has a game time counter of only a few hours, but I’m only missing 10 achievements….
Kromas, Guardian of Cenarius
November 12, 2014 at 16:03
Confession time! I never finished Skyrim. I have this bad habit of completely losing interest in a game if it corrupts my saves 30 hours in. Same thing happened to Fallout :New Vegas.
Captain JJ the valiant
November 12, 2014 at 16:12
Humble Bundles always give you a game or two you’ll probably never try.
Captain JJ the valiant
November 12, 2014 at 16:11
I’m pushing 190 now myself. But I’ve played a decent amount of them. Most actually. (I’m obsessive when it comes to my backlog).
Kromas, Guardian of Cenarius
November 12, 2014 at 16:22
I have a finite amount of time. Anything open world-y or MMO-y or Simulator-y eats that time like you would not believe. I am already juggling WoW with DA:I and thats gonna screw with my sleep I can bet you that.
Captain JJ the valiant
November 12, 2014 at 16:33
How are you finding DA:I btw?
Kromas, Guardian of Cenarius
November 12, 2014 at 19:20
Same way a kid feels when he knows what his getting for x-mas and know where the present is but can’t get to it before Xmas.
Still waiting for the pre-load and eventual release. I was just saying I am planning my Time management so long and it does not look good so far. 😛

Oh. Sorry. I’m a bit out with Dragon Age and when it’s being released.

November 12, 2014 at 14:51
Last GTA I could play was IV (thank you Rockstar for hating on pc) and I’ve loved all the Saints in between so much. Next I have to get to Saints IV, just waiting for a friend of mine to install his so we can co-op.
Kromas, Guardian of Cenarius
November 12, 2014 at 15:33
Just a warning. The romancing quests are a lot more intricate and difficult than even the Mass Effect ones. You might need to download some guides.

I paid a nice round $6. Don’t need Saints as I already have it. And gave GRID 2 to someone I don’t like. Huehuehue
Corrie
November 12, 2014 at 14:48
I was thinking about dropping for grid 2, but then I realized not to support Codemasters, they promised for over a year to remove GFWL form Dirt 3 and now its just it’s still planned
Captain JJ the valiant
November 12, 2014 at 14:50
I stopped supporting Codemasters after GRID 2. But GFWL is really killing games for me still. Bought Mortal Kombat arcade pack the other day. Took me half an hour to GFWL to work.
Corrie
November 12, 2014 at 14:57
Ouch, as much as you can use xliveless with GTA IV and fallout, It honestly needed to be removed completely but sadly nope.
Grid Autosport was okay but honestly DLC has become their new thing and I fear Telltale is going same direction with the Lego games
Captain JJ the valiant
November 12, 2014 at 14:59
I saw that they have tons of DLC these days. Really put me off. Nah. I can go without Codemasters games.
Corrie
November 12, 2014 at 15:03
I don’t mind DLC but only if it expands the game like Bordelands, Fallout, TES ,Sleeping Dogs etc but yeah throwing in a reused track and a few cars does not warrant $10+
Captain JJ the valiant
November 12, 2014 at 15:09
Yes. Agreed. Fallout and TES DLC were all completely worth it.
Corrie
November 12, 2014 at 15:15
They are extremely worth it when you wait a whole year for the complete edition since Bethesda loves to make you re purchase the GOTY in order to save a few bucks
Captain JJ the valiant
November 12, 2014 at 15:16
I did that with Fallout. Skryim I just added on. But always love me the GOTY

Meh. The best Saints Row is still the The Third. The super powers gets old very quickly.
Corrie
November 12, 2014 at 15:05
Seriously? SR3 over SR2 ? sure SR3 was fun but 2 was the best in the series for me, SR4 was okay but yeah powers got old like you said and the cops felt useless in the game.
Exalted Overlord Geoffrey Tim
November 12, 2014 at 15:18
2 was best for me too. 🙂 4 was rubbish, 3 was TOO over the top.

True 3 Jumped the Shark, And that shark had a Burt Reynolds Moustache and Laserbeam eyes.
But I was certainly Entertained throughout, Same with 4… 2 Was the best, even if is was the Worst Optimized for PC of the lot. Still having issues getting it up over 30 FPS….

I just want to try that game because I’m curious to see what it’s about. Simulator games have never intrigued me much.
