Jesus, I'm saving 85 bucks buying that D&D bundle. Mostly buying it to replace my copies of Icewind Dale II, Planecape Torment and to get my hands on Temple of Elemental Evil.
For those on the fence, this pack contains two of the greatest CRPGs of all time and another three or four of the games are seen as being pretty good.

Is demon stone or dragonshard any good? I have all the other games except planescape, but wasn't sure if I should add those two with it.

Demon Stone isn't terrible. It isn't amazing either but it's a fun enough mid 2000's hack n' slash. I'm now kinda wishing that the D&D arcade games were ported already so they could possibly be in this deal.

Is it necessary to play through OC before starting Mask of the Betrayer? I always get bogged down in the original, forget what I'm doing, and then start over.

I'll end up buying the whole pack anyways, just want to know where to start.


You can go straight into Mask of the Betrayer but it's a direct sequel to the OC. It's literally what happens a couple of months after poo poo went down at the end.

Does anyone actually have an honest to god trip report on Slender, though? I thought the freeware game was kinda dumb, but they had me at Victor Surge being involved. I liked Marble Hornets for a while, too v:v:v

edit: gently caress, it's at two stars on GoG. Same as Master of Orion 3 :stare:


I certainly wouldn't drop more than a couple of bucks on a game that's maybe an hour long but this is pretty viscous. Maybe the lovefest is gone for these types of horror games.

Is Guilty Gear worth getting if I have almost every Street Fighter game, the latest Mortal Kombat, some Darkstalkers titles and Marvel vs Capcom 3? I like my fighting games but dunno if learning an entire new roster and playing an older game is going to bring anything new or satisfactorily different? Anyone?

Guilty Gear XX is pretty old these days but the PC version is a pretty competent port. The GOG release comes with the soundtrack as a download so it's worth it just for that.

Anyone here tried Sang-Froid? It looks interesting, but also potentially kind of incoherent.

If you buy a pack which you already have a game in then you get the other games at the whole pack discount. You don't get a gift copy of one.

Does Wacky Wheels still hold up? I remember loving the poo poo out of it when I was a kid, but I just want to be sure it hasn't aged bad before buying it.

I'd say that it still does hold up. It's missing some quality of life stuff in modern kart racers like powersliding but it's still pretty fun.

New releases are Hogs of War which is basically Worms except with PS1-era 3D and Rik Mayal shouting over the top, and QUBE: We're Honestly Surprised That This Hasn't Been In A Humble Bundle Yet Edition.

Oh my god, I'm so happy to see Hogs of War on here. I used to play it all the time on my PS1 but the disk broke. The jokes are a little bit stereotypical but Rik Mayall is just fantastic in it.

Fun bit of trivia from a recent Retro Gamer interview: Apparently Lucasarts themselves had to deal with seemingly random unexplained denials from the licensing department, despite, you know, being part of Lucasfilm. Apparently the Jedi Knight expansion pack's dev team figured out the clever trick of proposing something crazy that will never get through alongside your real idea, in order to make it more palatable in comparison. :v:

I'm just so glad the Gold Box games are out there where you can buy them legitimately. So many dodgy copies floating around out there.

Only just finished Curse of the Azure Bonds for the first time ever the other day. That last dungeon/area was a load of bullshit let me tell you.

I've already bought the second pack. I never played Treasures of the Savage Frontier, any of the pool of radiance games past the original and I haven't even had a chance to try out Hillsfar. My dad used to have Unlimited Adventures, the first two Eye of the Beholder games and a couple of the gold box rpgs so this is a massive blast of nostalgia for me since I grew up playing the ones he had.
