I don't know how it is possible that I don't own all of these games already but I only have the Siberias, Robin Hood and a Starforce version of PC Allies.

I would like to pick up the Still Life games but need a third so maybe Stellar Impact or Trapped Dead.

 

[DaiMonPaul]

I'm planning on picking up Chains, Chrome/Specforce, and Post Apocalyptic Mayhem (it has a horrible score on Metacritic, but gamers seem to rate it much higher, meaning it's probably not a good game but it's enjoyable for what it is). I'm happy that Pacific Storm: Allies is included as a bonus, too, since I have the first one.

PAM really is bad. It's like a cart racer on rails. That said, for this price it's not impossible that you'll get you money's worth.

I like cart racers. I have Grid for when I want to do some actual serious racing (not that I'm any good at it yet), and a game like this looks decent for my arcade racing/random craziness fix.

Do you have Blur?

 

[Drabelincoln]

Hehe not upset (cute when people try to claim this, though). Just pointing out the absurdity of the complaint.

Y u mad bro

 

[inm8num2]

You know for someone who proclaims no interest in pennies, you've made no less than four posts about it. There's no need to be so uptight about it 'round these parts, go ahead and embrace your inner cheapass.

It wasn't a complaint though. It was an observation. You obsessing over it betrays your constant claims you are not upset.

Uptight? Obsessing? Those are good additions to "mad" and "angry".

I simply replied to posts people made in response to my other ones. Hardly obsession. And if people are going to paint me with inaccurate descriptions then I am well within my right to respond and correct them. Who's really obsessing, then? Me or the multiple people going back and quoting me even though the minor discussion was over a couple hours ago?

I'll concede the original post wasn't a complaint and more of an observation, but I still found it to be a trivial one over a penny (though I would understand the distinction from previous bundles that had lower cost/game as you added more games).

I still find the suggestion of buying individual sets of 3 vs all at once to save at most 4 cents rather silly, even for CAG. Not to mention my original post had a tinge of sarcasm, yet somehow people became offended anyway. But I see now it was a mistake to mention anything at all.

edit - I see someone else has jumped on the dogpile.

I'm not dissing the cart racer bit.. I'm dissing the "on rails" bit. You'll see. The only driving bit is "mash accelerator" autoassists take care of the rest.

Great suggestion! Blur >>> PAM. Also Sonic All-Stars Transformed deserves mention (It's been under $10).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$0.04 >> $0.00 (and that's before factoring in bonuses)

I think spoderman was on some Ripley's Believe it or Not! shit with that post. I read it as: "this is weird and mystifying".

I think it's actually a good move by Groupees, as they can squeeze out a bit more cash per purchase (assuming most people's buying behavior doesn't change from past bundles). If they had made a $2 minimum for 3 games or something then it'd be puzzling, but the current structure makes sense to me.

I was gonna call you out in the steam thread for pointing out the carpe fulgar bundle yesterday was 2 cents cheaper if you bought them individually. So I'm doing it here. Who cares?

This seems passive aggressive and also misses the point. I clarified things in a previous post yet am still receiving some hostility from a discussion that's been over for awhile. Again, I wonder who's obsessed?

Anyway, we're not talking the issue of 3 games for $1 vs. 3 games for $1.01. We're talking:

a) the distinction between the two pricing rates of adding more games to a bundle

b) the difference (a) makes to Groupees among all purchases, not the difference it makes to individual purchasers

If they sell 5,000 bundles and make an average of $0.20 extra per bundle vs. what they would have made with their previous tiered pricing, then that would be $1000 extra. If the average purchase price per person is higher due to the flat rate per game (vs. tiered pricing previously), they would be able to make a little more from the bundle sales.

This is hypothetical so don't burn me at the stake just yet.

 

[spoderman]

A flat rate doesn't encourage people to buy the full bundle, while a discounted rate with the more games you buy does encourage you to buy more games..

A flat rate also encourages people to buy in sets of 3 for multiple copies of the bonuses, which is what I was saying before, potentially making it so people buy less games.

Stop making sense and saving pennies spoder.

 

[inm8num2]

I can understand that reasoning. But wouldn't the same incentive to buy different sets of 3 games for $1 to get more bonuses apply to previous "build a bundle" deals as well?

Regarding the discounted rate/game, it could make a difference in either direction. However, here you start with $0.33 per game off the bat whereas previous bundles seemed to have initial higher rates $0.45-$0.50 per game (I think, can't quite remember).

Overall I can't imagine too many people being dissuaded by the $0.33/game. The final bundle cost still ends up around $4, typical for most Groupees (or even less than those that had $5 tiers, but possibly offered more games).

lol... while I did post it only to point out the silly pricing, someone actually posted afterwards stating they wish they would have noticed. Every penny does count.

It's not passive aggressive at all, I'm pretty direct with my posts. You missed the point entirely when spoder originally posted. We're bundle and CAG geeks and we like to waste time sometimes discussing pricing structure and speculating on bundles for days on end before they even launch. The point was never the penny saved.

While your hypothetical makes sense (yes, raise prices, get more money, pretty straight forward) What it seems we're looking at is just probably a reaction to complaints (why do they get to pay less when they buy more) than any real money making strategy by Groupees.

This!

I disagree. I don't think that hypothetical makes sense. Indie bundle buyers (especially non-HIB) are a certain class of tightwad. The pricing structure encourages multiple smaller purchases. This has two effects: (1) as spoder pointed out, people will buy less, skipping their repeats or the truly awful, but (2) this also means that Groupees revenue is reduced further by the higher number of transaction costs (paypal/etc).

 

[MysterD]

Is Chrome + SpecForce just 2 seperate keys? 

Or one entire key?

 

[The End]

Separate.

 

[MysterD]

Separate.

Thanks! Will keep that in mind!

[thenutman69321]

Sorry guys if I should know this but I'm new to this bundle and there's way to many pages to read through.  How does the pricing work on this?  Is it minimum $1 per game?

Nevermind I think I found my answer on the last page.

 

[Echoes]

Theres not a single game in the current game bundle I want.

However, I totally dig Christian metalcore so I bought that instead.

So Groupees still did a good job

I'm not sure I can resist sextuple-dipping.

Gumboy - Crazy Adventures was unlocked 350+ purchases ago.

 

[smurfinaus]

Are people actually playing these games? Or buying to collect?. Seems most of these games have been repeated a few times...

I buy to collect at times, but because ill never play it and my money would be better off going to charity I donate and equal amount to The Human Fund

 

[ochentay4]

Whats the difference between Chrome and Chrome: Specforce? I thought they were the same game (I have Chrome: Specforce).

 

[warreni]

Specforce is the follow-up to Chrome. They're separate.

 

[awestover89]

So, if you split the bundle into multiple purchases, (3 games for a dollar, then another 3 games for a dollar, etc) do you get copies of the bonus games for every purchase? Or would you have to buy as a gift/under different email addresses to get multiple codes with multiple purchases?

No need to buy using a different account. You get the bonus games with each bundle purchase. I can personally verify this.

As can I. The only game I don't have is Chains so if a 1 game happy hour comes (don't think it will) I might go in. Otherwise, probably not.

 

[awestover89]

Yup, I bought all the games split across 4 transactions and got 4 copies of both bonus games. I know some friends who will be really happy with me

I don't have Chains and two of the bonus games, Pacfic Allies and gumboy.....I'm waiting for a buy one game deal too but if it doesnt come I'll end up picking up Chains and two other games and add them to my ever growing list of steam keys. Then I'll own every Meridian 4 title on Steam.

 

[iSerra]

Groupee added a third bonus game - Avencast: Rise of the Mage.

 

[MysterD]

Cool!

How many days left until this deal on Groupees ends?

EDIT:

Just looked - 3 days or so.

 

[Idiotekque]

Avencast again? Oy vey...

 

[asheskitty]

Could it be?  They're running out of indie games to bundle?

Maybe they should take a hint from AMD & Nvidia and re-release tweaked versions of old games with a whole new title.

 

[MulderYuffie]

Avencast just got unlocked as a bonus for those interested.

 

[Thrakker]

Awesome, I've wanted Avencast, yet seemed to keep skipping every bundle it was in for some reason or another. Of course, I still only have two games from that selection I don't have already. Such is the life of a hoarder.

 

[Mooby]

I bought it a looooooooong time ago on Steam.  Only played about four hours before I stopped.  Seemed really sloppy and unpolished.

Hmm, I hadn't thought it through that far. You have me stumped.

Maybe we should just assume that they're brother & sister. Or maybe it's like Eddie van Halen and Valerie Bertinelli and they've been married so long that they've started to look like each other.

They're showing the same resolute expression. Both have pointy chins.

There's a crime scene in that SL2 pic so both of them involve hoods.

Bryanm in Meridian there will be not 1game deal

Its one distributor bundle and he not going to do that

Polite interrogation revealed this but I'm not 100% sure what it means. Either way, it's pretty clear that there wont be a 1-game purchase option with 15 hours remaining.

 

[CheapLikeAFox]

I played Chains last night and was very happy with it.  It's sort of relaxing in atmosphere, but the challenge can get hectic.  I played like 7 of the levels and they have enough challenge variety to bring me back to finish the game off.  Thought it might be just another generic puzzler, but I definitely think it has a lot of appeal if you dig those sort of games. 

 

[seamoss]

I played (and finished) Chains 2-3 years ago. It's a good combination of a puzzle & action game - in later levels you have to be really quick. My only complaint about it was that it was too short (only 20 levels) though a few levels took a maddeningly long time to complete (luck comes into it a bit).

Edit: If you liked the soundtrack, it's free at Jamendo: http://www.jamendo.com/en/list/a830/l-autre-endroit

 

[CheapLikeAFox]

ahhhh... I saw 20 levels... and I was hoping another 20 or more would unlock after that  I checked and I'm actually through 12 levels now so I guess I will beat it soon

One of them was a real challenge (balancing scale level).
