[EXPIRED] The Humble Thq Bundle

Achievement Hunter
For the first time in Humble Bundle history the games featured are not indie, but rather from a major publisher!

Fret not though, as it still follows the tried and true format of pay what you want for the majority of games, and beat the average for a bonus!

Games featured:

Darksiders
Metro 2033
Red Faction: Armageddon
Company of Heroes Series
and beat the average for Saints Row the Third!

You've beat me to it good sir.

DAT BUNDLE!

I already own metro and CoH. Still worth $6 for Darksiders, saints row, and RF:A
 
Too bad I already own Metro, Saints, Darksiders and the original CoH. Also, that Red Faction sucked.

Solid deal though. I actually like a lot of the games THQ put out and will be sad if/when they go under.
 
Damn it just spent money on steam stales, cant bring myself to justify another purchase. Solid bundle it seems.
 
Polygon's Justin McElroy weighs in on this Humble Bundle:

not gonna lie, I agree with him.
 
Not sure why everyone is so down on Red Faction: Armageddon. Sure, it was a step back from Guerilla's open world, but if you went into it looking for a decent 3rd person shooter and ignored the fact it was called "Red Faction", I don't think there would be this much semi-unwarranted hatred.
 
I need $1.00 for the first 6 games (I already have SR3). I only have $0.96 on my prepaid visa.

Never played the game myself, but putting a brand's name in the title gets people to think it is on par with that series. What if every shitty racing game made from now on was called "Mario Kart Most Wanted" and you were told to ignore the fact that it had "Mario Kart" in the name? You'd be mad if you got the game, ready to play as Yoshi and get some bananas and green shells only to find out it was a farm tractor simulator. Sure it would be great if you played it as a decent farm tractor simulator, but what about all the people who bought it for the 20 years of Mario Kart branding they were used to?
 
Let's not pretend that anything else in the series besides Guerilla was anything particularly special.

The gameplay was relatively generic and the story has been done a million times, but that's not to say it's a BAD game. That's my main point.
 
To those hating because this bundle is neither humble, indie, Mac/Linux, DRM-free, or absolute pay what you want...here is a founders reply to ArsTechnica:

In a response to Ars, Humble Bundle co-founder John Graham assured users the company will "never stop creating Humble Indie Bundles... and the other bundle types we've successfully launched this year. But we’re also eager to see if our pay-what-you-want plus charity model meshes with critically acclaimed AAA content as well."
Graham said the new THQ bundle did not represent a permanent departure from the company's indie roots, and that the company may even release a third indie bundle this year. "This year has also been a year of many experiments for us that fall outside the traditional Humble Indie Bundle framework," Graham told us. "We’re very excited to be able to offer the gaming community a massive sale with blockbuster content and raise money for charity at the same time. We will of course continue to support indies content as a core of our business."
Regarding the lack of Mac and Linux ports this time around, Graham said plainly that, "in the case of this promotion, it would not have been possible for us to deliver this blockbuster content via other means." But Graham also promised the Humble Bundle "will not cease in our quest to bring awesome content to Mac and Linux and Android," and pointed out that the Humble eBook Bundle contained the first digital publication of Neil Gaiman's graphic novel Signal to Noise.
 
Aaaaaannnnddddd awesome.

They added Titan Quest and RF:A Path to War DLC for people who beat the average. If you already purchased and beat the average, they will be waiting for you on your download page.
 
buuuuuuuuuuuuuump

ok, so today they added Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War GotY edition to the bundle if you pay more than the average.
NOW shit just got real. There's only 2 days left to pick this one up.
 
Wasn't going to even bother with this...but fuuuuuck. Warhammer 40k, Saints Row AND Titans Quest for less than $60? I feel like I'm robbing them.
