Hard pass this month dawg.
this looks awful actually. how much do people pay for this?
The sound of silence here is deafening. “Too much,” everyone afraid to answer you is shouting and it’s hurting my ears.
I'm definitely not proud that I let my autotomatic annual renewal go through in April. At least it was before the price increase, and now that I'm determined to not renew, I'm being a lot more stingy with my months.
It was recently increased to $15 USD. Though the Plucky Squire actually looks like a solid game published by Deveolver Digital. Looks like it has gone on sale for $15 before, so it'd basically be like buying that game. And you get Grapple Dog thrown in
And monkey island I suppose!
There have been some bad Humble Choice bundles in the past, but this was the first time I felt insulted by one.
Yikes
Thanks for posting, this reminded me to skip this month. Again.
trash
Monkey Island the only one that can be played tbh
I cancelled mine ages ago when I realised I was basically just getting the PSN and Epic games over and over.
Plucky Squire and Grapple Dog are on my wishlist 😅
Other than that, not the most appealing bundle for me.
Also, plugging !humblebundle@lemmy.world.
Dog-egg
It's a hard pass for me.
Yeah, real downer for me. Wish I had skipped
I played, liked, and 100%ed Grapple Dog.
Do you think if the others knew they were going in a bundle with destiny they would have also skipped this bundle?
isn't speed freaks free?
I mean there's like a couple of ok games there. If that Destiny bundle includes all the expansions and you're into those type of games then maybe...or you could just play Warframe. but yeah I'd pass on this.
It used to be but became paid (to people who didn't already have it) on it's full release. Honestly a fun game, but almost nobody plays it unfortunately so there is basically only one active lobby at a time while me and a friend were playing
Edit: aside from the fun gameplay, you also get to spam voice lines. WAGGGHHHH
I had to reopen the picture, as I was thinking they'd remade the PS1 Speed Freaks.
And now I'm disappointed again.
Well I don't know this spell force but in general it is a solid game, monkey island is liked by quiet a few ppl, rest is not good or known to me. Would be a hard sell for 15 tbh
Return to monkey island was pretty fun if you enjoy the originals or telltale versions. The movement and gunplay in d2 was a lot of fun, too bad they screwed up so bad with the expansions and monetization.
The Plucky Squire and Return to Monkey Island seem to be the only interesting titles.
