I was expecting you to guess that, but actually no. I wasn't very interested in Bundle 4; the only games I really wanted on it were Cave Story Plus and Hammerfight. I already had And Yet It Moves and Crayon Physics Deluxe, and I wasn't interested in Shank, Super Meat Boy, or VVVVVV.

There's a couple clues in there. :P Here's another one: I was interested in a couple bundles before the one I actually got. Also, of all the games that have been featured in Humble Bundles so far, the only one I got outside a Humble Bundle is AYIM.

I'm aware that they might add more games to the current bundle later, but I'll wait for that to happen. I may be interested in this Bundle, but they'll have to throw in a game I really want in order to make it worth the six bucks they're asking. Osmos does look awesome, I'll say, but i haven't decided about that one yet.

I like that they're cross-platform, but to me, the best things about the Humble Bundles are that they are (mostly) redeemable on Steam AND they're also DRM-free so I can play them independent of Steam.

What

You weren't interested in VVVVVV or SMB?

Yeah, from what I've heard they're big on Platform Hell, which I'm not too fond of.

VVVVVV is not that much. It has plenty of save points. I mean, yeah, you will die a lot but you don't lose most of your progress and stuff.

Hmm, maybe I'll reconsider it.

Don't get me wrong, it DOES have very hard points tongue Check the playthroughs so you won't be disappointed if I'm estimating wrong xD

Well, Crayon Physics Deluxe was only in HIB 3 and the Introversion buendle before HIB 4 so I guess you bought the Introversion bundle.

Also the recent bundles, including this one, comes with the soundtracks for all the games included.

Yep, I got the Introversion Bundle. Kinda disappointing to see that this one, my favorite bundle, actually produced the least revenue of all the Bundles so far, but oh well.

The others I was interested in are the very first one (since it had Goo and Aquaria) and the Frozen Synapse Bundle (for Trauma and SpaceChem). But I missed out on getting those.

I'm burnt out on bundles because I've realized my Internet addiction is crippling my motivation to actually play any games on my Laptop....Netflix (having just launched here) is finally tearing me away from just web trolling all day, but games are hard to focus on.

However, I am sucked into Game Dev Story on my phone (which I got for 10c. Wish I'd picked up a keyboard in that sale.) so this bundle SHOULD be great....but none of the games work on my phone :( Except EDGE, but that's actually free on the Irish market already.

I guess I'll just buy more Kairo Soft games...

So there is a new especial Humble Bundle with a live video stream during the weekend of how Mojang makes games that will also be the games of the bundle and all the money goes to four different charities.

I like getting to choose the charities...I put American Red Cross to 0. (That's a whole other topic.....)

Got bored of the stream though.

I'm kind of bummed that they didn't send an email out to former purchasers for the Mojang stream. That's how I've found out about all of the prior ones.

Congratulations Humble. You have made a bundle for games I already own On steam and/or Android.

What I can say is this: Every single one of them are really good for their respective genres.

The only other game I own is Cogs thanks to the HIB 3, but yeah all the games are awesome. It's also nice to see that the average is higher than $6 just some hours after launch.

And now they've chipped in a game called Snuggle Truck*

...

Paid below average this time because I am rather low on money at the moment. Already did own Swords & Soldiers anyways...

Not really interested in this bundle but there are some interesting things to note:

  • The minium needed for a Steam key went up from $1 to $5.

  • The "choose your amount of money in USD:" now starts at $15 from the $10 it was in the past bundles.

  • The chat support widget put you in contact with Humble Bundle Support Ninja.

Okaaaaaaaaaaaaay.

I have machinarium and samorost. FROM EARLIER BUNDLES. And I won't even get Botanicular for steam unless I give 5 dollars?...

Honestly, Indie Royale has better bundle currently, of course humble bundle goes to good cause but still.

Aparently is to not screw with retailers like GOG and preorders but the thing that bugs me most is that it is not anounced the change in price for the keys, it is in a visible part yes but it is easy to miss. Also the fact that Machinarium and Samorost heve been in older bundles does not help to justify it. On the other hand the average purchase is quite high for what have been in older bundles smile

I will instead give my money to the Brony guys who participate in these bundles. Mainly because my interest in these games are lacking.

The Humble Brony Bundle? I suposse that works to.

I seriously think they should have called this bundle the Amanita Design Bundle like they did with the Introversion one.

Yeah, it makes it sound that only reason to buy this bundle is to get Botanicula cheaper unless you feel charity generous. Oh well, at least its for sake of trees...
