After reading the last three pages..

I now feel slightly ashamed for even thinking about purchasing this bundle.

Most regulars own much/most of it, and well proper CAGs evaluate it on their own terms. I suppose it's decent for one not owning much of it.

I'm missing three of the games and there are enough games in the bundle that I can add to my kids' account (which I take cards from, incidentally).

I don't mind having that one extra account because they do play the games all the time (and it keeps them off of my PC), but it would be strange to have any more -- especially if it was just an account no one used. To each his own, but I'm afraid to even go down that road or I could find myself easily falling into an alt-account rabbit hole from which I never returned. 

The bundle has a few nice games in it -- congrats for that. Unfortunately, as you mentioned, Casey, there are lots of repeats for avid bundle buyers. The idea is good, but I love what you guys were doing before and I'd rather see quality un-bundled games than repeats with cards. Or, if like you've hinted, you intend to do both, then my kids will be pretty happy and have lots of new games to play.

This is one of a couple bundle types we're playing with to possibly use as breaks between main bundles. If we just do a new main BB every two weeks then the bundle will suffer quality wise, and personally I'll go nuts trying to find that many hidden gems for the hardcore collectors :p

And it doesn't help us really to just take 2 week long breaks all the time either. So we want to introduce bundles that compliment the main bundle.

 
I wonder when we start seeing DLC only bundles. Remember that Capcom DLC only sale :D

Family Sharing ;) At least I don't have hundreds like some.

But I can say i definately have "profited" more than just by selling those games @ few cents.

(and to be clear only 4 are at magical level 5, others are mostly only level 1)

 
The bonuses are going to make or break this one for me. I'm missing eight of the games, and I'm vaguely interested in two of them, but I can get those two cheaper outside of the bundle even factoring in the extra card money from the other six. But if either of the bonus games looks good, or they're both games I'm missing, I'll probably jump on it at that point.

I love you for Archon:Classic, by the way. I got around to it a week an a half ago and I've barely played anything else since. 28 hours logged, and I'm going to go make it 29 or 30 right after I submit this.

As an in-betweener, I don't mind it so much. I don't envy you having to come up with decent bundles so frequently. Looking forward to the next full BB.

 
That Unearthed trailer is trying really, really hard to be a USA (the TV channel) drama.

It almost looks as boring as most of them, too.

Glad to see that pretty much every CAG already owns Saturday Morning RPG. :)

Considering you were nice enough to put it in two semi-recent bundles around the time you finally got Greenlit/released on Steam, it's not surprising at all. :mrgreen:

Was it bundled previously? I dont have it and its the only one that interest me. Should I get the $6 bundle for Saturday Morning RPG and ill probably load up the other games at some point.
Click to expand...
Yup, it was in Retro Groupees 2 about 3 months ago, right around the time it was Greenlit (of course i forgot to buy the bundle though), and then it was in IndieGala's Rise of Flight about a month and a half ago which is when I finally snagged it.

The only other bundle it was ever in was IndieRoyale's Debut 6 about half a year ago.

There are too many bundles for me to keep track of. :wall: Time to bookmark the ones that I still have not bookmarked.

 
Even better, he got the keys up and working in no time with no crying.

Some other devs recently make it seem like it's working backbreaking labour at a USSR prison. Still waiting on a couple keys, will probably never get them (Onkytt)

Onkytt keys were up for most before the game even launched, so that's a Groupees problem if you haven't gotten yours yet (I'd suggest talking to their support, they are usually quick about fixing that sort of thing).

I just hope they were quick enough for the people that are yet to receive a Constant C key :(
 
Just got around to checking out this bundle...  I hate to admit it but I think I'm going to have to agree with Bobby on this one...  The bonus games will make or break it for me.  (The rest isn't horrible...  Just not all that great.)

I must admit I'm glad I checked out the trailers before buying...  Vanguard Princess isn't the game I thought it was.  Nothing wrong with a good fighting game but I thought it was a Metroidvania game for some reason...  Now, I wonder what game I got it confused with...?

Bunny Must Die, maybe?

......I hope the next bundle has like no repeats. I don't care about the cards so as long as we get new games because let's face it if you like cards or not you likely already have half of these games already.

Figures both Knytt games get included in the same bundle.

I'm probably going to pass on this one entirely unless the last mystery game is absolutely fantastic.

Took me a second to understand what you meant; I don't think those games are related, aside from similar naming.

As for this bundle, I was missing enough of it to be (slightly) interested, but the detracting of a good portion of the cost via cards sold it for me. But since you mentioned it, I doubt the unlock is going to be very good, given that Casey said that every game here has been bundled previously. Hopefully, its card prices aren't completely tanked by the time it's out.

Oknytt and Knytt Underground have absolutely nothing in common for the record.

Also Knytt isn't really something I'd recommend. It starts out well enough, but once it finally opens up completely jumps the shark with it's level design, which are ridiculously maze like and difficult to get around do to having to rely on the finicky ball physics when making lots of jumps (not to mention the secret tunnels you'll only find by accident but are required to do so to finish the game). The story also gets overly serious and makes all of no sense, and I found the characters suddenly starting to swear all the time rather jarring (not that it offended me, but feels weird given the tone of the game). It's basically a game you'll be required to use a walkthrough just to finish, and even then I'd hardly consider it a good use of your time.

Final unlock is Gentlemen!

It's been bundled 3 times already -- unbelievably I did not have it. (Sadly, no singleplayer -- only local multiplayer)

I've gotten pretty lucky with this bundle, but it's a bit like Russian Roulette and I'm looking forward to the other bundle format featuring lesser bundled games.

Less than 2 weeks until BB#4 hits. After that the special event bundle I mentioned early on will hit. As much as I'm looking forward to BB#4...I'm really excited to start actually talking about the bundle following it. The initial planning started on it before BB#1 was even launched.

Ew.. so you guys will go dark for a week or so? Gotta have bundles!

We might pull something together for a week long bundle, but we're pretty busy with BB4 and the bundle following. Worst case scenario it would be a break that lasts less than a week.

 
So, I finally got paid on PayPal, was on the order page for the Trading Cards bundle at 3:59. Logged in, and the bundle was gone. :wall:

My own damn fault, but did anyone get a spare to sell or is willing to sell me scraps of it? It's not the biggest loss, as I only caved to give my doubles to my younger brother (I think I was only missing 6 games from this one), but any help would be appreciated. :mrgreen:

Is this...is this your first gilby?

I feel so proud.

I'll split the bundle with you if you want to toss in a dollar for that.

Or you can wait until I break down and buy the bundle myself and send you the key, which isn't unlikely.

I might take that offer...hate bonuses in bundles...well bonuses after time at least (the ones for # of bundles sold is a-ok with me). Wish I knew at least 2 of the bonus games.

 
Updated the thread, new blink bundle I'll probably get this already because of Steam Bandits and Escape Goat.  I don't have any of these games so definite buy, can't wait to see the bonus games.

 
I already had Escape Goat, Demolition Inc, and Space Giraffe. That leaves four games and one Early Access soon-to-be-F2P title for $5.

This will be the first Blink Bundle for which I'm going to have to take a wait-and-see attitude. The bonuses will definitely make it or break it for me.

If you don't have any of the games though, then it's a pretty decent bundle.
