What games is it missing?

With these single-publisher bundles I'm quite sure Bundlestars generally just puts up whatever the publisher wants to bundle. And this publisher has been awfully stingy on discounts thus far.

For $35, it should also have Icewind Dale II and possibly even Neverwinter Nights I/II. There are tons more Forgotten Realms games, but they're all DOSbox'd on GOG and not on Steam.

EDIT: Guess I forgot that NWN was pulled and IWD 2 isn't on Steam for some reason. Still, can't pay that much for only 3 FR games and an overpriced expansion.

Ah. I was thinking I was missing some other Forgotten Realms games showing up on Steam.

I'll agree that the price is not even close to being worth buying.

Not that it makes the price that much better, but these are all those Enhanced Editions put out by Beamdog. Looks like the lowest for each of the main games has been $3.50-5.99 depending on the game, so this is almost in line with that. The expansion doesn't seem to have been on sale yet since its original release in March, so I guess $17 is a sale? This the expansion that apparently is buggy as hell and also pissed off lots of people because it has a trans character.

Like I said, this publisher is stingy on discounts. That explains it, but it doesn't make it a bundle worth buying.

... isn't that lowest price for the older GOG releases - which are also pulled now? (You can only buy Enhanced, and you get the old versions for free, which blows.)

 
May bite the Legacy bundle. Really depends on if BS puts up anything else that really prompts me to make an order. Will probably procrastinate and forget it unless an actual nice bundle pops.

And Slitherline Bundle Reloaded:

Looks like they took out Close Combat Panthers in the Fog + Vietnam 65 and replaced them with Alea Jacta Est + Advanced Tactics Gold. Advanced Tactics is a nice edition, but if you missed the old bundle it's going to suck to not have Close Combat/Vietnam this time around.. and Close Combat is $40 on steam lol.

IMO the reloaded bundle is worse than the original. Price is about the same if you used canadian pricing on the original bundle, but original bundle was slightly higher priced otherwise.

Alea Jacta Est was in the grand master bundle but included the dlc making this one even worse.
 
Yea that third tier is kinda wtf but the first two tiers seem solid. I own 5 from previous bundles though =/

Yeah, the third tier is trash. First tier has two repeats (maybe 3?) but still worth it if you are missing 1-2 of the games. $4.99 is where the value is at even with two repeats for me (Killer is Dead and Deadfall Adventures).

 
It's pretty good but I'd be paying $5 for Out of Reach, The Masterplan, Dead in Bermuda, Toren and Broken Sword 5.

I'll leave it for now and maybe I can GIlby it guilt-free.

I own 8, if we're including tier 3. Kind of wish they saved the non-repeats for a killer bundle rather than this. Insurgency, Contagion, and Lone Wolf have all been in really cheap bundles so they're a waste. The Masterplan was in a monthly + Groupees bundle. I don't have Broken Sword 4 yet so including 5 without 4 is an odd choice.

Oh shit. That's a nice bundle. (Excluding the 3rd tier.)

I think you can still get Van Helsing Remastered for having all three, so that's not horrible for anyone that didn't get the monthly or couldn't find a copy of that from a split.

This is the best bundle BS has had in a long time. I only own Insurgency and Contagion from the first two tiers.

I think everyone owns those two due to 4-packs of each being in different Humbles.

 
Awesome bundle. I'm in for $4.99 + whatever that promo-code coupon knocks it down to.

EDIT:

$4.49 it knocks it down to.

This bundle rocks.

EDIT 2:

I have Broken Sword 4 from retail. ;)

Would've been nice if they had a Steam key for BS4 in this bundle - "bleh" at not having one in there.

Yes there's a discount code if you are subbed to their newsletter you should have got one. Assuming it's multiple uses?

 
Mine just arrived this morning, which naturally forced me to spend $25 on bundles I otherwise wouldn't have purchased.  But hey, spending money is fun.

Congrats on doubling their profits this "sale."

 
I dunno. This bundle, upon closer inspection, doesn't seem to be all that great. The top tier is alright if you're using it to upgrade to the final cut. Besides Risen 3, most of the other tier 1 games have been given away at a high volume, especially Contagion and Insurgency. Toren and that early access survival game seem rather mediocre, while several of the other titles are rebundles. The Ship Enhanced Edition stands out somewhat, but it seems to be getting a mixed response from the Steam community. Deadfall Adventures remains in the upper tier of bundles, interestingly enough. I wonder if it'll get Gala'd eventually, because it has avoided that even when Humble Monthly titles have gotten Gala'd, such as Chroma Squad.

 
Maybe he plays them with his grandkids. And yells about how back in his day, the Legos were real and you couldn't just open a chest and get more until his dentures fall out.

Back in my day, if you wanted your Lego guy to have a sword, you put an antenna in his hand and that's how we LIKED it!

The antenna was a mace, not a sword. Even us old guys had castle sets with swords.

I see the Majestic Bundle is back. If you skipped this one last time, you really need to grab it this time. This bundle would be worth it if it were just Chariot and nothing else, but I think the other games look good too. It's just that I've played a lot of Chariot, and it is fun.
