I played, liked, and 100%ed Grapple Dog.

Hard pass this month dawg.

Marshezezz@lemmy.blahaj.zone on 12 Sep 05:47 next collapse

Yikes

sirico@feddit.uk on 12 Sep 07:00 next collapse

Dog-egg

subOrange@lemmy.world on 12 Sep 07:03 next collapse

Monkey Island the only one that can be played tbh

arudesalad@piefed.ca on 12 Sep 07:26 next collapse

Do you think if the others knew they were going in a bundle with destiny they would have also skipped this bundle?

dinckelman@lemmy.world on 12 Sep 08:31 next collapse

When the two flagship titles are sports scamware, and a largely discontinued set of expansions for a dying mmo, i dont even know what to say

kiwifruit@lemmy.world on 12 Sep 08:36 next collapse

It’s a hard pass for me.

Gonzako@lemmy.world on 12 Sep 08:48 next collapse

Yeah, real downer for me. Wish I had skipped

crmsnbleyd@sopuli.xyz on 12 Sep 09:23 next collapse

this looks awful actually. how much do people pay for this?

cerebralhawks@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 12 Sep 12:26 next collapse

The sound of silence here is deafening. “Too much,” everyone afraid to answer you is shouting and it’s hurting my ears.

abbotsbury@lemmy.world on 12 Sep 22:34 collapse

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.

Bazoogle@lemmy.world on 12 Sep 15:12 collapse

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

crmsnbleyd@sopuli.xyz on 13 Sep 06:38 collapse

And monkey island I suppose!

linkinkampf19@lemmy.world on 12 Sep 10:09 next collapse

Thanks for posting, this reminded me to skip this month. Again.

rozodru@piefed.social on 12 Sep 11:39 next collapse

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.

Blackmist@feddit.uk on 12 Sep 13:53 next collapse

I had to reopen the picture, as I was thinking they’d remade the PS1 Speed Freaks.

And now I’m disappointed again.

_hovi_@lemmy.world on 12 Sep 14:36 collapse

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

Blackmist@feddit.uk on 12 Sep 13:51 next collapse

I cancelled mine ages ago when I realised I was basically just getting the PSN and Epic games over and over.

BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world on 12 Sep 15:37 next collapse

There have been some bad Humble Choice bundles in the past, but this was the first time I felt insulted by one.

DeadDigger@lemmy.zip on 12 Sep 15:52 next collapse

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

trash

whotookkarl@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 12 Sep 16:12 next collapse

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.

lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world on 13 Sep 06:16 next collapse

Plucky Squire and Grapple Dog are on my wishlist 😅

Other than that, not the most appealing bundle for me.

Also, plugging !humblebundle@lemmy.world.

blackris@discuss.tchncs.de on 13 Sep 06:41 next collapse

The Plucky Squire and Return to Monkey Island seem to be the only interesting titles.

Fyrnyx@kbin.melroy.org on 17 Sep 00:53 collapse

This is my birth month and I was looking forward to picking up this bundle for my birthday. But, I wasn't impressed with the selections here.

WWE2K25, the quality of the series has slipped, year after year. They are the only game series I know of, that can't even make hair graphics look good.
Destiny 2, this is just a glorified DLC/MTX-feely kind of package, for an otherwise FREE game.
Return to Monkey Island feels like a shallow cash-grab, I hate that art design.
Grapple Dog looks like just a cheapo game, not bundle-worthy.

Everything else doesn't appeal to me. Hell, there weren't even any games that both could benefit me or anyone I know that'd like a copy of. That is when I knew this bundle sucked. Ruined the birthmonth mood for me. Fucking IGN...
