I wish they did a UK price, PayPal charge a silly amount to convert to Dollar's :-(

heat added tho

Hot - I keep thinking about cancelling my Monthly subscription as the only good games I've gotten from it are ones that I already have, but I've managed to sell them on or trade them for other games so I'm at least getting my money's worth. Case in point - I already have Ark, but $12 for it is a steal, easily worth more than that, so whatever else is in next month's bundle would have to be pretty terrible to make you regret buying.


Just to be clear, Paypal don't 'charge' anything for a currency conversion. They may not give the best exchange rate but there are no charges - i.e. no fees on top of a transaction price for converting between currencies. Although I sold something for $17 today and Paypal put £11.39 into my account. Google says $17 is £11.74 today so a 35p difference, which I don't think is that bad.


How does that make it a joke? The same goes for any marketplace - shop around and you'll probably find the same stuff cheaper elsewhere. Those who can't be bothered to shop around spend a little bit extra but they probably don't care because they've saved time (and time = money, of course). You'll still need Steam to download and play the games and it's still a great system for that.


Pretty poor, to be honest. It would be better for me if I didn't already have Alien: Isolation - although even if I didn't I might have been better off buying it separately. That said, I paid the $12 last month to get it early and sold it for around that so the rest of the games have cost me practically nothing. I'm keeping Titan Souls, which I've wanted for a while but not wanted to spend too much on it, and I'll be able to trade the others for something I'm more interested in. The next bundle is already worth it for Ark alone, so I guess I'm still a subscriber!

Total longshot but any chance anyone who got this already had Wasteland 2 and would consider trading it?

So can I just get this and cancel, getting Ark and a bundle for $12?

As a Linux user, due to Humble supporting Linux users less and less as time goes on, I don't want to subscribe to something that might be a bundle full of games that don't work on my computers. If they did a Linux monthly bundle, I'd definitely buy it.

Hi, if I sign up now for Ark at what point would I need to cancel to avoid paying for next months bundle? And if you do cancel early do you still get the rest of the games that will be added to March's bundle alongside Ark?

I've signed up just for ARK. The game is very good and I only play PVE. Base building and taming is so much fun.

new to the monthly bundle but if i subscribe today do i get febs games?

I think your missing the point, the GOTY editions are £2 or a bit more than the base game so what r u on about fella?

Anyone use an Xbox One controller through Wndows 10 on ARK? Too many keys too remember using the keyboard and mouse but wondered how much easier the controller makes things.

Its just as fun on the XB as PC, but the dammed UI needs reworked for XB, (Which the dev's have said it's on their list). I just find it fun to relax with my friends in my tribe online after work or uni.

u got it wrong.... if ur gonna buy at that value, and indeed for when you get sacked, you only buy goty's or kompletes.... not crappy 2 bit games missing half their content.

Lol its an investment you see, when im **** poor broke and stuck with a laptop ill have hundreds of game to play.

Similarly £3 for games llike xcom and £5 for borderlands you can't really complain unless you dont want them in which case dont buy them lol, simples.

very bad game thought to be honest, very buggy and very boring.

I really want ark but my pc wont run it :'(

I've wanted Ark so it's a no brainer. Cheaper than Steam by a long way plus a Bundle thrown in. I must remember to cancel now before the recharge.

I was keeping it for No Man's Sky, as I was unsure if my PC would be able to cope with it. Although I would like to get round to playing the Uncharted series at some point, and the Heavy Rain remake once it is released.

The fact that you're running it like that at 900p already means that this game is running better on your Aldi PC than it does on the Xbox One. :laughing:

Unless you're into the platform exclusives I would say sell that ps4 as well. I only kept mine last year because of Until Dawn and I haven't switched it on again since Christmas.

The games that are 'a quid or two' are not games worth buying.... these will inevitably end up on some indiegala bundlestars humble bundle.... the sales on steam are weak... and i can already guess you have 1k games all unplayed. Money well spent

Only idiots buy games on steam.

Thanks guys, running at 1600x900 (Medium Settings) on a single player server and things were not as bad as i expected.

Then again, I am not a graphics freak. :smile:

I am, yes. Do you use SteamGifts? As I've got a thread on there where I trade, otherwise I think you could just PM me your list on here.

Ark is really badly optimised atm so I would say you will get below 30fps with it dipping really low in the forests. But its a really good game worth it even if you cant play it yet as it will get properly optimised soon

looking at the spec of that it should run at a playable rate certainly.

​I've no strong interest in either, so depending on what you're offering, i may be interested.

I did yes, well spotted kdk.

Did you buy the Firaxis Humble Bundle? Tier 2 included a 10% off the subscription ($12 - ($12x10%) = $10.80).

Conversion from:
-£7.71 GBP
Conversion to:
$10.80 USD
Exchange rate:
1 British Pound = 1.4018 US Dollars

Not sure why it only charged me $10.80 but I aint complaining. (All I did was login to my old Humble Bundle account and click the $12 buy link btw, region set to UK as well so not a tax dodge).

Hate to be that guy but is this easy to cancel? looking at previous games the list isn't all great but im willing to give it a go for 1 month just for ARK.

Pretty sure Prison Architect wasn't in the bundle. I would've noticed if it was, I've been wanting it for a while :stuck_out_tongue:

Don't suppose you're looking to trade off Dropsy and/ or Broken Age? I have a few games for trading, not sure if there's much you don't already have and are interested in but thought I'd ask just in case.

signed up.

Yea they use some kind of market rate which doesn't bare any similarities to the current exchange rate.

For a $10 purchase this week I paid 27p over the average rate for that date according to XE

​Where is prison architect? I don't have that in my bundle. Although i already own it also.

Pretty poor bundle for Feb. Trying to decide if i want ARK as it's the only thing tempting me for another month

what was everyone's opinion on February's monthly bundle?

Easily worth it for Ark which is great fun and should easily consume more than £8 worth of your time. Just don't hold your hopes up too high for the rest of the bundle as judging by last months they put one decent game in to hook people and the rest are fillers at best.

Thanks, I'll give it a go I think. 720p on a 24" Monitor should be a reasonable level graphically.

If not I might have to sell the PS4 to fund a few upgrades. :stuck_out_tongue:

It will be ok at 720p on that.

Been playing Ark on the Xbox One.

It gets content about a month or so after PC, and gets a monthly update while PC players usually get new stuff every few weeks.

It's been super fun, and very fun playing with friends on a Player vs Player server.

That said, you need to understand it's still early access, it's VERY unoptimised, and has some glitches and the dino AI could be better worked. These things are on the list of things to do with the developers, but they're planning to release all content first and then work on optimising it.


In short, it's tons of fun, lots of content and things to do, but several issues ensure you're reminded it's early access.

I don't want to download an App, just user experience if possible.

Steam is a joke at this point, almost every game on there (often even in sales) is cheaper elsewere.

Have they fixed the frame rate issue on Ark yet? I did try it, back a few months and even on low it was unplayable... I have an i5 4670k 16gb ram and gtx 660 ti sc 3gb.

Am I pushing it to expect ARK to run in any shape or form on this?

Medion i3 from HUKD deal

I'm not expecting the earth, just looking to run games at 1080/720p if possible.

Good deal, $12 for Ark AND the monthly bundle too
