I'll have them mate if they're spare :smiley:

Last year's surprises... Should be great this year!

Nice! Was just wondering yesterday if this would be back again for 2015 :smiley:

Anyone got a list of possible inclusions? Guesses are fine!

Life is strange?

i am very tempted especially if they do a few ff games in it as i have pretty much all other games produced by them

I got garbage last year, will skip it this time around.

Cracking. Bought it the last 2 years and haven't regretted.

I'd take a punt on:

Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition
Final Fantasy XIII
Tomb Raider
Hitman Absolution
Just Cause 2

Never even used my keys from last year......

So has anyone bought one yet?

If so what did you get?

My guesses for this box:
Lara Croft and The Temple of Osiris
Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Kane and Lynch Collection
Quantum Conundrum
Discount voucher for one of the Final Fantasy games

I'm unsure as to whether Square Enix would reuse games from previous surprise boxes (e.g. Tomb Raider, Hitman Absolution), so these are all games which haven't come up yet

Value for money, no doubt about that. But not for me as I think I own every square enix game which I want. I no doubt paid way more than it will amount to in this bundle so totally worth a punt if theres a few you're after.

Ah ok, missed that. Sorry.

Thanks OP. New to steam with a new machine, so a great deal!

I like how when you click 'more information' it scrolls you down the page to a series of empty text boxes. They haven't even put system requirements up; guess they didn't want everyone figuring out one of the games straight away like last year.

Deus Ex: HR and Hitman: Absolution seem like pretty likley picks with upcoming sequels for both. Just Cause 2 and Tomb Raider make sense too but were both in the 2013 bundle so no doubt they'd be setting themselves up for a few angry customers putting them in again. I imagine there'll be a discount voucher of some sort for FF7 as well (seems super unlikely they'd put the game itself in given how rare sales seem to be). Probably not worth it for me with how many of their games I already have but there's always that little voice saying "Life is Strange might be in there" :smirk:

Tricky decision for me as I own a lot of Enix games, including Tomb Raider, Hitman, Deus Ex and Thief.

Knowing my lucky I would pay and receive all the ones I already own.:confused:

I have all of those except ff, so that would disappoint me to be honest. Great if you don't have them though

Can this be bought after everyone is told whats in it?

Beggar

Contents from previous years:

2014:
Thief - The Master Thief Collection
The Last Remnant
Murdered: Soul Suspect
Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light
Deus Ex - The Fall
Nosgoth Founders - Warlord Pack

2013:
Tomb Raider
Just Cause 2
Hitman: Blood Money
Dungeon Siege III

My personal guess is that it will be:
Lara Croft and the Temple of Osrisis
Life is Strange
Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition
Something old as filler (Startopia? Supreme Commander? Tomb Raider collection?)

I went for it. The games are basically guaranteed to be worth more than £4.99!

Tempted, but didn't play any of the games from the last 2 surprise boxes (was there 1 from Easter?)

Thinking about it, if I was really interested in any games inside this box, I would most likely have brought it already

Great price of you don't have much square enix games

Surely if just cause 2 was in 2013 surprise wouldn't just cause 3 be in this one!

Went for it anyway and I have these already
Thief
Tomb Raider
Lara croft and guardian of light
Hitman absolution
Sleeping dogs

On the bright side I havent got any just cause or final fantacy ones.

Very nice indeed!! But I'm not getting it, have all their games I want to have so don't really fancy just spending another fiver for no reason.
I love your Square Enix.

Heat for the deal, were good presents last year. But might still pass now as I havent even played any of those games i redeemed last year

My order is not processed, I just receive the message "For more details on what countries are serviced please refer to the Terms of Use. (Error ID: 1002)"

Can't find reference to that error on their site.

I get this every year! Yaaaaaa!

I own most of their games I want on last gen console but since I bought a 980 Ti for my PC rather than get the latest PS/Xbox doorstop I'm now hoping to replay some of 2013 games maxed out. I read T&Cs and looks like you have the right to cancel and refund within 24 hours of it being available so it's a no risk £4.99 for 5 potentially bargain titles!

Gonna give this a try. Have a few of their titles but can always give the key to a nephew if they are no good. :wink:

God, the easter selection was total crap. I'm not even sure if I should risk it this time.

Gambled and got it. I really hope for Life Is Strange, enjoyed the first episode so much.

I don't live in Germany. I'm based in London. I've cleared my cookies yet still get the same error message. Oh well, guess I'll not get to buy games I probably already have.

I swore I wouldn't buy it this year but I guess I'll end up biting again...

Hot if you havent got most of the games.

How long is this available for?

Do you get up until the 18th to decide to buy or not?

Anyone got the previous years packs know if included games are individual keys?

Games that appeared in previous packs are unlikely to be included again, I guess? Actually after Thief as missed last year's.

Was disappointed last year gave me a bunch of games they already gave away before :disappointed:
Will pass.

Purchased last years and Easter this year, not that impressed so why have I just spent the money ?

cheers op..

Heated, good deal but not sure if it's for me as I already own a lot of the Square games and I know the ones I want like FF7 won't be in there anyway.....

Thing is there are so many great steam bundles out there at any one time these days (Indie Gala, Humble, Bundlestars etc) that this bundle just isn't quite as competitive as it has been in previous years, so I'm very much on the fence, but for someone new to steam or with few Square games in their library I'd say it's a must...

If it was them they'd all be getting sold straight away as i have all of them. I've bought the pack anyways for £5 its worth a shot.

Bought this and the 64GB microSD card from Argos.

Don't really need either of them! This site...

Heat OP :stuck_out_tongue:

Incidentally, isn't there a game key lottery on here somewhere? I'd better get that ready for when I have to give away all the keys for the games I already have from this selection :laughing:

Can I get a link?

Life is Strange episode 1 and Sleeping Dogs Definitive edition is bound to be in the bundle...

The rest of the possible games I think many people have already purchased in other sales.

It is Illusionary that does that steam key lottery. I guess sending it directly to him via PM will do

Cheers mate! Do they not have a forum thread?

We are unable to process your request at this time. The customer support has already been informed about this situation and will get in touch with you if necessary. (Error ID: 5003)

I've been getting this error for fricking ages, and I don't mean like few hours but a few months, I tried to buy it the last time they had a similar offer, and the time before and got the same error, I emailed SE multiple times about the error but no reply.

Edit: Nevermind, got it to work, not sure what the issue was, but persistance paid off for once.

I've ordered, and the invoice has what seem very clear cancellation instructions - if you're unsure because you don't know what's in it, then order, and cancel if you're not happy with whats in it.... you have 14 days from 18th December.



Just beware of (not unreasonably):



And just to confirm, the refund is in full:

Bought! :stuck_out_tongue:

I'm in again this year.
Bought for the past two years and even though I picked up some dupes, I've never been disappointed as I always had more than £4.99 in value. If I pick up any dupes again this year, I'm sure Illusionary will take them off my hands for the weekly competition. :smile:

There's a different link for each week's giveaway, take a look at his profile page for details.

Is there a way to gift this to another person? Thanks in advance.

Tomb raider and just cause 2 were in the first box and hitman was in the Easter box so I doubt they will be in this box.

Tomb raider and just cause 2 were in the first box and hitman was in the Easter box so I doubt they will be in this box.

Life is strange episode 1 was in the Easter bundle.

I didn't get a steam key on purchase, do you get it when it's revealed???

Roll on Black Friday

I got a feeling the voucher will be for either Final Fantasy 13: Lightning Returns or the Life is Strange season pass.

Done the easter one great way of doing it, thanks OP im on it

All i get if i try an order is your basket is empty.

Ah wait im too late :P

Too late :disappointed: anyone want to gift me any of their games that they don't want or already have? :stuck_out_tongue:










It's my birthday on the 30th.. just saying :laughing:

:disappointed: very disappointing. I got Thief & LiS ep1 in a previous bundle. Also, I find the discount codes are rather insulting as it the games valid will be available cheaper form other eStores in Christmas sales

Comments on the blog show that a lot of other people are very unhappy too.

refund submitted. Extremely disappointing this one :disappointed:

Going to keep the bundle my self. Not played any of the games other than Tomb Raider and Realm Reborn.

Keeping it, only Thief I had so going to give away key for presant to friend

Going to keep it and use 2 of the games. Bit disappointed :disappointed:

I have every single game on that bar life is strange. What a lame deal.

Do you need to pay extra for a Passcode for Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn?

If not how do you get it?

Done that but still asking for this Passcode thing which is different from the key supplied.

Has anyone got the list of the games or are the ones what is on this offer already been told.

Needed all of these so more than happy with it :smiley:

​thanks

I had sworn to myself I was never ever going to buy this again since what they gave us back on Easter. Well, here is karma punishing me for buying it in the end.
What a rip-off.

I bought the 3 bundles before this and was happy with the contents, this one - not so much! I already have Thief (Master Thief Edition) from last years Christmas bundle, and I already have Life Is Strange ep 1, from the Easter Bundle. I'm not a Final Fantasy fan, so there is very little in this box for me. I was really hoping for the remaining episodes for Life Is Strange, or at the very least the second one.
For £5, you can't grumble so I won't be getting a refund...I'll just give away most of the games to friends and spread some Christmas cheer :smiley:

So......
Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris - free with games for gold
Theif - free with games for gold
Life is Strange Episode 1 - free trial episode
Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn - subscription based so can't be counted as a purchased game
Final Fantasy XIII - looking for the catch on this now feeling rather cynical surprisingly.

Hehe, yes indeed - thanks for promoting the giveaway :smile:

With the games now revealed and the keys being sent out, just a quick reminder that donations of any spare keys for the weekly giveaway will always be very much appreciated. Have a great Christmas, everyone!

Did anyone request and actually get a refund for this?

OK this is likely a dead thread but I just realised (yeah I know two months late) that I never actually recieved the codes for this bundle, was I the only one? I checked my account page and saw nothing there, just 'preorder'.
