Sent you a PM.

I can't comment on the rest of the games, but Altitude is amazing. I purchased it 12/25/2010 during a Steam sale and most of my time gaming since then has been spent on Altitude. I'm at around 800 hours.

Altitude is an online multiplayer 2d plane shooter with two main game types, Team Based Destruction (TBD) and Ball. TBD involves trying to carry bombs to the other teams base and do enough damage to destroy their base before they blow yours up. Ball is a sports like game type with goals you must get the ball into. Both are excellent. There are several ship types that are well balanced. There is a call of duty like unlocking process for perks, but it shouldn't take too long to unlock everything. Also, the devs are great and play the game.

You do have to figure out what you are doing though before it is much fun. At first you will die every few seconds. The skill level is not what it used to be and pubs are kind of a joke. But after you know what you are doing you can join ladder servers and clans. Don't give up on the game if your first impressions are not great.

So I bought this. I bought a gift pack. That is to say 2 copies of the bundle. I paid 9.29 which is above the average. How do I know if I got everything? What IS everything?

Click the link in your email and then scroll down a bit and click "gala 4" spot. Under that itll show your gifts and you can link directly to them to people and they wont be able to see anything from the parent account that purchased the gift. Only the gift. And itll show everything you have keys to in them.

Oh I got how to see the gifts. I just don't know what you get for exceeding the average. So I kinda wanted to know if I got the "complete" set.

If you didn't beat the average, all that you'd see would be keys for A.R.E.S.: Extinction Agenda & Alien Shooter. If you have those keys but you also see keys for Disciples II & Altitude, as well as a direct download link for WAKE, then you've beaten the average.

If you paid $9.29, you should have beaten the average by almost 4 bucks. So if you don't see Disciple II & Altitude + Wake, you should contact support.

Not sure if this happened to anyone else either but the gifts I purchase actually had everything unlocked. I still don't even have them unlocked on my profile yet, it's just in the gifts that way...weird.

Steel Storm, Really Big Sky, Alien Shooter 2, and DRM Free Lunnye Devitsy.

Yeah, they've unlocked all of the games.

I have no interest/own nearly everything else on this bundle, though it is nice to see all of the unlocks already out.

I still am yet to get ARES however so if anyone has a spare I would GREATLY appreciate a PM with it! : P

I bought in before they revealed them all, and... damn, I already own all this shit.

Yeah I finally got the "We unlocked everything" email a bit later. For a while there my gifts had everything before I did.

I'd like to buy Altitude from somebody. PM me.

PM'd

Already own Steel Storm, Really Big Sky and ARES from before... is it just me, or are we starting to get a lot of duplication across all these bundles?

The whole thing is kind of messed up to me at this point. Between the many repeat games in these indie bundles, Steam's habit of making former indie bundle games DotD (often multiple times) and some of the Steamworks ones like Serious Sam going on sale every 5 minutes from every possible outlet I feel like we have one set of indie games that are very frequently on sale over and over.

On the other hand there is pretty much every other indie game which people now tend to hold off buying because they believe it will go on sale at some point, yet outside of maybe the Steam summer/winter sales they never do. And even with those they get lost and buried among all the daily deal hoopla.

In my opinion the organizers of these bundles either should work harder to get new indie games and developers involved or have these things less often.

When they first started these bundles before these games had been on sale all the time and when they put them on less frequently it seemed like a really great thing. Now it's just like 'Wait, didn't they just have a bundle?' and 'Oh, those games again?'

Another Happy Hour is underway.

Anyone doing a 4 pack? How much does it come out to?

I think a few people still have a few leftover copies from previous Happy Hours. Might wanna see if any of them show up to sell their extra copies. If there's a need though, I'd be willing to host a group-buy.

Edit: oh and it should be around $1.67 per bundle.

anyone?
