expired Humble Bundle V - Pay What You Want
This was posted 1 year 18 days ago, and might be an out-dated deal
Don't usually think the humble bundles are that ground breaking, but today's one is exceptional
Bastion ( pay average)
Amnesia- Dark Descent
Limbo
Psychonauts
Superbrothers
Additional information and sales pitch from MarrkDaviid. I credit him as co-contributor for his time and effort where I was too lazy.
Pay whatever you want, as low as $0.01 for 4 games + 4 soundtracks (FLAC and MP3)!!
Pay more than $1 (which you will, unless you are a tight arse) and you will be given a key for the games on Steam!!
Pay more than the average price paid (currently $6.66) and you will receive an additional game and soundtrack!!
Choose how much of the money goes to the developer, the charities and Humble Bundle!
Now for the BEST PART!! All of the games are cross platform, and run on Mac OS X, Windows and Linux!!
The games and soundtracks that you can receive for as low as $0.01:
Amnesia: The Dark Descent
Psychonauts
LIMBO
Superbrothers: Sword & Sorcery EP
The additional game and soundtrack you will receive, if you pay more than the average paid:
Bastion
This Humble Bundle is apparently worth $110, so I would jump on this opportunity if I was you! I have heard a lot of good things about "Amnesia: The Dark Descent" since it was released, and the other games look pretty cool too, I am willing to spend $7 on the bundle.
caprimulgus on 06/06/2012 - 00:21 ¶if you haven't, try braid. it's not a touch on limbo atmospherically, but puzzle wise, i think it's second to none!
but yes, the atmosphere of limbo is breathtaking - as a complete package, it's hard to top!

I think it got rave reviews because it was good by indie standard. Certainly helps to get value if it is indie because it tends to be cheap.
And I'm aware I'm in the minority in thinking bastion is overhyped :) But I'm ok with that.
+3 votesleonheart1 on 01/06/2012 - 19:52 ¶Limbo is a pretty dark game lol.
Not sure if that's the right game for a 6 year old.
Here's an example made by someone with short term memory loss.
miloaissatu on 01/06/2012 - 15:47 ¶hmm, i watched a gameplay video on youtube and i get what you mean by bland gameplay. thanks for the comment!
just went ahead and got it anyway though, never tried an rpg quite similar to this before plus the other games look interesting :)

different strokes for different folks maybe - Bastion was probably one of my favourite games out last year.
Got a bit of a zelda vibe with the item progression and the challenges add a good mix-up to the main story.
Definitely give it a try and come to your own conclusion
tebbybabes on 01/06/2012 - 21:53 ¶I certainly loved it. After playing just a few levels I had the same impression. But as I kept at it, while the gameplay didn't evolve as much, my skill kept getting better, and I enjoyed more and more finesse.
Soundtrack was downright awesome too.
+12 voteskoreainhyuk on 01/06/2012 - 03:45 ¶Probably the best bundle ever.
I was going to pick up Bastion and Limbo anyway :)
Great deal and probably worth giving a little extra for charity too.
+9 votesYou beat me to posting this deal! Here is some additional information, since I have already typed it out. :)

+3 votesEasily the best bundle ever. Already own 4 of the 5 games by buying them as individual indie games. Gotta be a good sign.
Unfortunately it means I won't be buying this one though. Even if you own 2 out of the 5, its still worth a purchase. Superbrothers is the one I don't own, so missing any of the other 2 would make it a must buy.

+2 votesJohnnyB.Cheap on 01/06/2012 - 07:47 ¶I own almost all of those games already. This is worth your money. I like the makers urge you to pay at least the average. Bastion is amazing.
+2 votesExactly what I was thinking.
Last time they had it at min $5 for a steam key and the games were meh so I didn't chip in - a first for me as I normally would throw $1 or $2 just to increase my steam games list even if I wasn't going to play the games (it's a fetish I know). This time awesome awesome games -a few I have- and I'happy to drop a ten'er on it, and they have the steam keys out @ $1. Guess it effect the sales last time.

I know that feel bro,
I played 40 minutes of it at night before i NOPE'd and alt+f4'd
Buying this bundle for a friend as a gift to duo play through it

I just need to remember to actually download and play them, unlike the last couple of Humble Bundles I bought!

I think I will risk it, least I can do to support the creative developers.
+1 voteI have all the games in the bundle except for Bastion, which I'm not really interested in. However, I still bought them, just in case a friend wants them one day.
Amnesia is an excellent game, great immersion and honestly the scariest game I've ever played. Not jump-out-of-you scares. Bone chilling scares that make you quit the game when nothing has happened yet.Limbo is quite fun, you can use an Xbox 360 controller plugged in too.
- +1 votetheguyrules on 01/06/2012 - 11:04 ¶
Honestly this is the most excited I've been for one of these bundles.
- miloaissatu on 01/06/2012 - 19:09 ¶
i haven't watched the gameplay.. only read about it, and already i think i'm too chicken..
+2 votesYeah when you buy the bundle you can retrieve steam keys.
You then go into steam and go to menu "Games > Activate a Product on Steam"
Paste in your key and it will then confirm your purchase and automatically add the products into your library for download.The bundle games will now be available to download and play on all your steam locations (ie. both PC and laptop if you had steam installed on both)
It's sweet.
This bundle is amazing value, I recommend you purchase it :)
+2 votesYes the Steam keys just let you link to a Steam account. Separate download links are provided if you don't (for all platforms) on both HTTP and Bittorrent links. As far as I know you can install it on as many machines as you like using your unique download link (or you could copy the executables). Alternatively install Steam on both and use that..
edit: too slow :)
+2 votesbatiudrami on 01/06/2012 - 14:30 ¶If it hasn't already been taken, I'd keep it. The bastion key is what any bonus games for beating the average (which there almost certainly will be) will be added to in a few days. When you redeem it in Steam it's called 'Humble Bundle - Beat the average'.
windsurfer-sp on 01/06/2012 - 14:24 ¶Hoping its better then the last one. This is my third bundle, how can you say no to something so well run.
