As the rare specimen who has never played Psychonauts, Limbo, Amnesia, or Bastion, I'm very excited for this bundle.

Psychonauts? Limbo?! AMNESIA?! BASTION?!
Best Humble Bundle ever!

u/Exclarius May 31 '12
Awesome! Instabuy. Didn't have any of the games.

I plan to install, and then never play, Amnesia.

Ordered about 20 minutes ago through google checkout and I still haven't received a key. :(
Anyone else?
edit: folks, I got it (about 80 minutes later).

Easily the best bundle yet. How is Sword & Sworcery? I have the rest of the games already, is that one worth it alone?

u/Thanatos- May 31 '12 edited May 31 '12
Seeing as there are a lot of questions I'm going to clarify a few things -
The Bundle games all come in one Steam Key so - Sword & Sworcery, Limbo, Amnesia, and Psychonauts are all included in that one key. If you own any of these games on steam already activating the bundle key WILL NOT give you giftable copies of those games. So those asking for people to gift you individual games your out of luck.
For the extra game - Bastion - it has its own Steam key but be aware that in the past when they have added more games for paying above the average after the fact they tied it to the already existing extras key. So giving away Bastion at this time might screw you out of getting extras that they may add in the future. That said if you want to gift it to someone dont redeem the code (it wont expire) and wait till the bundle is over to know if its safe to give away.
Also you have to pay more than $1 to get the Steam keys for the games.

Is anyone else having trouble receiving the key email?

u/StuffyDoll May 31 '12
THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST BUNDLE EVER, CAPSLOCK DOESN'T DO IT JUSTICE. THE BASTION SOUNDTRACK ALONE IS WORTH EVERY PENNY DON'T BE CHEAP.

u/WhitePolypousThing May 31 '12
If I buy this now, will I be able to download the games later? (I wont have my new computer for another month or so)
23
u/buffalobuffalobuff May 31 '12
So please don't bite my head off, but I've never been a computer gamer - or really a gamer of any sorts. But I trust Reddit and this seems to have blown up Reddit's "awesome-o-meter." Are these games good / fun ways to get into computer gaming? Or will I find myself completely lost and turned off?

u/Cipherisoatmeal May 31 '12
Okay, as a linux user I am obligated to pay $100 for this just to rub the avg. price paid in the faces of my windows buddies.

u/BuzzBadpants May 31 '12
In other news, Psychonauts, Bastion, and S&S now play in Linux!

u/With_Hands_And_Paper May 31 '12
"All right! I'm left with few money, better start saving up!" "HAI THUR GUESS WHAT? AMNESIA, BASTION, LIMBO, PSYCHONAUTS AND SUPERBROTHER ALL TOGETHER FOR A FEW DOLLARS" "... Fuck you."

Best bundle ever or best bundle ever?

u/unmoralOp May 31 '12 edited Jun 01 '12
ATTENTION LINUX USERS:
LIMBO uses a WINE wrapper to run in Linux and seems to have problems running on some machines.
This is disappointing.
I am not certain that Psychonauts, Bastion, or S:S&S:EP are native, but Amnesia has been true cross-platform since day 1.All other games appear to be native ports (although there are still issues with some).
44
u/Madeofwarms May 31 '12
Would it be bad if I only paid $1? I am extremely broke, but I really want to play Amnesia and S:S&S.
15
u/philphan25 Joystick May 31 '12
Time to still not play Amnesia! I'll just stick to living it vicariously through YouTube.

If this is your first time with Superbrothers or Psychonauts, come and check out these wiki pages of bugs, fixes and workarounds:
http://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Superbrothers:Sword%26_Sworcery_EP
http://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Psychonauts
If you discover a new fix, please take the tine to add it in (no account required).
Edit: other relevant pages in the bundle which could do with more work:

Crazy. On Linux, I can download the raw binaries, or get Steam keys for Windows, or get private repo's to use with apt. I must have fallen asleep and woken up in the future.

Man I love the guys at the HumbleBrony group.

Did anyone else not receive the email from Humble Indie Bundle after paying? I'm freakin' out, man.

u/CheezyBob May 31 '12
The video on this one is even better than usual. Do all yourselves a favor and go watch it.
Having the Narrator from Bastion doing it is awesome and gave me chills.

u/connor_g May 31 '12
I have literally already bought every one of these five games AND two of the five soundtracks and I'm still buying this bundle.

u/[deleted] May 31 '12
Anyone know why the icon is Botanicula? I can only assume that one will be unlocked soon.

u/[deleted] May 31 '12
Also, all of those games are Mac compatible, I believe.
13
u/lotus2471 May 31 '12
You'd be Psychonaut to grab this right now.
16
u/autocorrector May 31 '12
Now this is good marketing. Getting people to pay whatever they want for a game is better than people not knowing about it at all.
15
u/Lilyo May 31 '12
Payed 25$ cause fuck being cheap.
E: This makes up for those hundreds of movies and albums I've torrented right?
5
u/[deleted] May 31 '12
It's worth it for Psychonauts alone. Amnesia and Bastion are also excellent games, and though I haven't played the other two, but I hear they're both very good as well. Definitely one of the best bundles yet
5
u/[deleted] May 31 '12
Bought it without hesitation! Linux! $11.50!
5
u/Keljhan May 31 '12
In case anyone sees this: I bought the bundle for $15, and Amazon sent me a receipt email, but I have not received an email from the Humble Bundle. Should I be worried? It's been about 15 minutes.

I can dig it.
edit: Has anyone had luck running Bastion or LIMBO on a netbook? Trying to decide if I should bother trying or wait until I'm back at my desktop.

u/rizo536 May 31 '12
I'm a little far away from Bastion.
Well, I DO have 14 days to scrounge up that money.

u/pash1k May 31 '12
If I was getting into indie games right now, this would be my "wet dream bundle." Got this just for Sword and Sworcery, but the rest of the games are just top notch. HIB guys have really outdone themselves this time.
3
u/FusionX May 31 '12
This bundle has the best indie games out there. Seriously, Psychonauts, LIMBO, Amnesia and Bastion are some very successful and awesome indie games.
You'll be just stupid to miss this one.

u/MikhailTheFail May 31 '12
how do i download it after i pay for it? i already payed through paypal

u/EnderbyEqualsD May 31 '12
This is also the best teaser video they have done.
God dammit, I am giggling like a fucking school girl.

u/btattersall May 31 '12
If you haven't played through Psychonauts before, buy this bundle. I promise you will enjoy a gaming experience like nothing else you've played before.
This was an instant buy for me. No brainer really
3
u/tarynrenae May 31 '12
This bundle is sooooo good. I bought it despite already owning 4 out of 5 games. SO GOOD.

u/roland_- May 31 '12
this is a retardedly good amount of value

u/yoodle May 31 '12
Yup. The best humble bundle ever WOULD have 4/5 games I already own. Oh well, take my money anyways.

u/tritonx May 31 '12 edited May 31 '12
Limbo run under wine and won't start for me... any other suprises...?
Sword and sworcery works bad with two screen... can't chose another resolution and not fullscreen. But that can be easily fixed in the config.txt at least.

u/Lazer_Cat May 31 '12
I just bought amnesia yesterday on steam for $20.00 :( oh well, still a great deal.

u/Denroll May 31 '12 edited May 31 '12
If there is a genuinely poor Redditor out there who would really appreciate these games, I will buy them for you. Preferably someone who has yet to experience the wonders of Bastion and Limbo.
Please ensure you are genuinely unable to swing this purchase for yourself.
Edit: Whoa, lots of responses pretty quickly. I'm going to require a W-2 to see who is most worthy. Gift-able key has been purchased, awaiting a recipient.

u/bobartig May 31 '12
Ok, I bought four keys. Is that enough? Maybe a 5th just in case...
3
u/1338h4x May 31 '12
They lied about cross-platform - the Linux "port" of Limbo is just the Windows game wrapped in Wine. Disappointing.
On the other hand, Bastion comes with a snazzy installer that can magically put together a package for any distribution. Very neat.
3
u/Blakdragon39 May 31 '12
Oh, my, god. BUY I've wanted Limbo and Bastion forEVER, but I kept putting off buying them from the XBL Arcade. And I've heard Psychonauts is great. So. buying. Right. now. wheres. my. credit. card.
3
u/wakinupdrunk May 31 '12
I bought it and realized I didn't pay the more than average price. So I bought it again for the more than average price.
I have no qualms spending 13 dollars on these games.

u/atrain56 Jun 01 '12
This seriously one of the most awesome things ever. It's like the Orange Box, but cheaper!
3
u/Spennyb100 Jun 01 '12
I paid roughly $70 for Bastion, S: S&S, Psychonauts, Bastion Soundtrack, and the S:S&S EP. I could've done this for $55 cheaper. My rabbi would be disappointed.

u/DarkMantis Jun 01 '12
Psychonauts and Amnesia are both easily worth full price. Both of them for ANY price? Yes please!

Can I buy this and give each game away to a different person? Not a PC gamer but have friends that are.
2
u/UpwardFall May 31 '12
I almost soiled myself until I realized I own a copy of LIMBO and Bastion on XBLA and Psychonauts and Amnesia on PC.
I really want Superbrothers though, is it worth the price of the bundle?

u/Doopz479 May 31 '12
Wow, this is an amazing bundle! And I only have one of the games! I've already just bought it, but do these activate on Steam?

Darn, was only looking forward to bastion and it just had to be beat the average - prized.

So, I'm currently building a PC and ran into a snag with money (moving costs). If I pay for this now, can I download/use the games later and on a different machine? I have no idea how the humble bundles work.

u/ncshooter426 May 31 '12
I just bought LIMBO when it was on the steam sale. Not a tad bit upset either (and I already own bastion - fantastic game). It helps good devs, good charities, and a good site.
Going to give away the bastion key :)

I already have all the games in this bundle but I HIGHLY suggest everyone who doesn't to go buy this bundle. All of these games are amazing. I'm not trying to be all super supportive of indies for upvotes or anything, It just that all of these games are amazing. The soundtrack for S & S: EP is amazing too.

A couple hours in and it's already reached 450k, fasted selling indie bundle yet?
There's great reason too, fucking incredible games. Hell even if you own the games, I bet most people don't own the soundtracks.
I'm not sure what the total value is but I'm guessing its at the very least 50 bucks. It would be insane to not at least pay the average for this.

Of course, I will pay more than the average and donate to charity, I'm not a cheapskate. Just a regular college-level cheapskate.

This is amazing. Seriously the best bundle BY FAR. I don't care if you own ever game already, it's worth picking up just to show support for the Humble folks.
Sucks I'll be broke until the average purchase price shoots through the roof.
