Title: Humble Origin Bundle
Post by: jameslr on Wed, 14 August 2013, 14:05:09: Current minimum price of $4.60 and you can get the following games:

Dead Space, Dead Space 3, Mirror's Edge, Battlefield 3, Sims 3, Crysis 2 Maximum Edition, Burnout Paradise: Ultimate box, and Medal of Honor.

My bad! Forgot to add the link to the deal: http://www.humblebundle.com (plus I assumed everyone knew where it was).

I don't use Origin, nor do I care to, but it's a good deal for some good games regardless.

edit: Upon closer inspection - it looks like 5 of the games come with Steam keys as well. The games that come with Steam keys are: Mirror's Edge, Dead Space, Crysis 2 Maximum Edition, Medal of Honor and Burnout Paradise: Ultimate Box

After purchase you get individual codes for each game via origin AND steam if available. Otherwise you get the exclusive (BF3 is origin only, etc)

Post by: dorkvader on Wed, 14 August 2013, 16:03:05: I'm glad it comes with a steam key, otherwise I'd hesitate.
Title: Re: Humble Origin Bundle
Post by: rowdy on Wed, 14 August 2013, 17:11:23: I tend to buy games at least 6 to 12 months after they are released - much cheaper. Plus I usually have upgraded my PC so it can run them by then.

At the moment I am several years behind an upgrade, so I'm not sure if it will run any of these (Dead Space it won't - already got that one).

But this kind of deal it too good to miss :)

Title: Re: Humble Origin Bundle
Post by: Badwrench on Wed, 14 August 2013, 17:18:10: Purchased. Couple of these I don't have yet. The rest will go to the freebie thread later tonight.
Title: Re: Humble Origin Bundle
Post by: do_Og@n on Wed, 14 August 2013, 17:19:47: If I didn't already have most of those games and over 150 in steam already I would go for this one. Great price though.
Title: Re: Humble Origin Bundle
Post by: xmagusx on Wed, 14 August 2013, 17:23:44: Side note:
For any truly broke students who don't care about Origin, it is worth noting that the "beat the average" unlocks are Origin-only.

THis one contains AAA titles from a well-known publisher.

Most bundles are a collection of random Indie titles that not everyone has heard of.
Title: Re: Humble Origin Bundle
Post by: SpAmRaY on Wed, 14 August 2013, 19:55:40: True. I guess this is the hottest deal for BF3 ever.

There have been need for speed bundles in the past.....I gave away some NFS titles.....
Title: Re: Humble Origin Bundle
Post by: dorkvader on Thu, 15 August 2013, 14:54:13: I think the only NFS game I ever really liked was prosche unleashed I gave up on the franchise entirely after underground 2 (and should have saved some time and given up after underground 1)

Eventually I'll buy it again and play it. I really enjoyed that game.

my co-worker was playing mirrors edge today.

Post by: dorkvader on Thu, 15 August 2013, 22:45:46: I remember playing most wanted #1, we got it in a huge NFS pack, not a bad game to be sure!

My brother currently has our copy in his cache of video games he took with him when he left, or I'd give it to you.

Title: Re: Humble Origin Bundle
Post by: oryan_dunn on Thu, 22 August 2013, 15:27:48: Awesome, thanks for the heads up! :thumb:

I bought it a few days ago and wouldn't have thought to check it again.
Title: Re: Humble Origin Bundle
Post by: fydo on Thu, 22 August 2013, 15:33:54: Btw, it's Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 - Uprising, which is a standalone expansion to Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3. :D

Also, if you purchased the bundle before the games were added, you get them for free, regardless if you paid over the average or not. Yay!

Kinda new here and search failed me... where is said freebie thread?

Edit: Doh, nevermind. Found it. I was looking for a classified forum figuring it'd be in there, but just overlooked it for some reason.

Lol, I read that and though "Populous is 15yrs old, that's odd". Then I realized you're probably a lot younger than I am, and high school wasn't that long ago for you.

so we get the expansion but not the game? How much is the game, maybe I'll get it.

That can't be right. High school was more than twenty years ago. :) Had to go look it up. 1989 for Populous.

Oh wow, I had never heard of it, and just assumed it was a new game. What am I missing here? Is it a remake? Or did they put in a 23yr old PC game to the bundle?

Edit: yep, looks like it's a 23yr old game.

Yeah, "standalone expansion" means that you don't require the base game in order to play.

Post by: rowdy on Thu, 22 August 2013, 22:20:21: I wasted hours back in the day playing Populous. Nearly bought it off GoG.

It should even run in DOSBox or similar on the Mac!
