Don't get me wrong, its always fun going for the Square Enix box each year. I'm going to take a gamble and guess everything we are going to receive has already been in a HB package this year. :disappointed: Heat regardless fingers crossed aye Ho ho ho.

I got the impression that the games would be very old like original tombraiders and hitman etc. but the last 4 boxes from what was listed appear to be some decent games worth the £5
think I will take a gamble ^_^
Darkeru
12 Dec 168#6
Calling it now, it's going to include Hitman Intro + Episode 1, in hope that you buy Episode 2 - 6.

Final Fantasy VII would be good as VIII was in a previous bundle (which I missed :disappointed: )
Just Cause 3 would be superb but potentially unlikely!
Possibly some repeat games now, there's only so many they can put in these bundles.
Heat added :smiley:

It had better include Deus Ex Human Revolution and Tomb Raider. Ah hell, throw in Thief as well.
jewelie
12 Dec 163#25
The US store says that, but as far as I can see the UK store does not.
I assume that this is because of the differences in consumer law in the UK vs US.
So I imagine you've still got your 14 days to seek a refund?
Also, the T&Cs are different for refunds too-
And lastly, from a digital steam code order earlier this year from the UK Square Enix shop-

Worth a punt, I got the easter one and completely forgot about it until I saw this!

You are right uk and EU can refund due to our laws. US are screwed which was when i first saw the deal.

I guessed as much. It's cool. It caused me to go hunt the T&Cs.

I f I hadn't got Life is Strange for £4 in the Steam autumn sale (or if I didn't already have 70-80% of the games Squenix would actually bundle) I'd probably go in for this, pretty sure it'll make an appearance. Certainly seems unlikely that Rise of the Tomb Raider, Just Cause 3, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, or FF12 would be in this bundle and they're the only ones left that I both want and don't already have (yes I know they don't do FF12 for PC but I can dream can't I).

12 Dec 16#41
I did some googling because I was bummed out about not refunding last year's easter blind bag because it was horrific and I owned everything, but it seems like it wasn't until October 2015 that we've got concrete rules that you cannot be denied a refund from 30 days of digital purchase. Before then I guess it wasn't so clear cut, hence it might have been more trouble.

Valve have supported steam on Ubuntu for a few years, 12.04 officially but 14.04 LTS works too. SteamOS = Linux, pretty much. Having said that, I don't game on Linux. I boot into Windows to game.

im guessing hitman episode one and 15% off the upgrade pack. and a FF game

KillerChocobo
20 Dec 161#64
That's a legitimately disappointing selection
reddragon105
20 Dec 16#65
Not bad, not great. Lightning Returns is the only Final Fantasy game I don't have - been trying to get it on the PS3 for ages (as that's what I have XIII, XIII-2 and most other Final Fantasy games on) but it doesn't come up on eBay very often, seems quite rare for some reason, so I might end up keeping it to play on PC instead. I'll quite happily take the Hitman games, even though the intro pack is clearly a ploy to get you to buy the full season, which isn't exactly cheap even after the 50% off coupon. Goetia looks very nice, hadn't heard of that before, so I'll keep that. As for the other three games, well they're all great but they're also old and games that I played on the Playstation and can't see myself replaying them on PC. Overall, not a great list but definitely more than your fiver's worth.
nige182
20 Dec 16#66
Lightning Returns was expected as last two had FFXIII and FFXIII-2, whilst I like a few of the others, it is a really disappointing list, still for a fiver I can't really complain.
santino1581
20 Dec 16#67
How do you go about getting a refund?
randomvector
20 Dec 16#68
Disappointing selection, although I will keep it for the Hitman Intro Pack. I really wanted to see the newer Tomb Raider games. Also the coupons have a small redemption period next year "Coupon Valid date: 16/01/2017 to 30/01/2017"
jewelie
20 Dec 16#69
Yeah. Can't make up my mind whether to keep it or not. Possibly worth it for the first two (LIGHTNING RETURNS™: FINAL FANTASY® XIII & GOETIA) given the reviews. Not played any Hitman Games before. The Legacy of Kain ports are of no use to me as I mainly play via Steam streaming and need either XBox 360 controller support or a polint and click interface. I've already played Tomb Raider: Underworld (good game though) and already have Hitman Go on Android (although the PC version looks very pretty.)
stevo34
20 Dec 16#70
How has everyone got their codes? I don't think I've been sent an email or anything?
Also based off the list above, is Hitman GO worth it on the computer? Any major differences to mobile?
Also if anyone wants a few of the games feel free to message me for the Tomb Raider, Hitman and legacy of kain games!
yurij666
20 Dec 16#71
You have to click on your confirming e-mail with order details. Then click "Click here to get access to your products"
I dont recommend Hitman GO on PC. Controls were horrible for me. You can only use mouse, no keyboard. And you have to drag the mouse, like swiping on touch display.
Very disappointed with the titles here this year, did someone say you can still get refunded?
Last year's was much better for me :sunglasses:
jewelie
20 Dec 16#74
It says full controller support?
santino1581
20 Dec 16#75
I just got a refund :smiley:
Teath123
20 Dec 16#76
Expected pretty much exactly what they gave us. I think for anyone wanting Lightening returns, its worth it for that alone considering its never been that cheap before. Hell, I didn't get the one with FF13-2, and I'm still looking for that one at a fair price.
slipd
20 Dec 16#77
May I ask how?!

Only if you haven't opened the box and got the keys themselves.
If you haven´t activated the key, go to your account, then manage orders and then cancel the order.

Well I cancelled the order on the my account section on the squeenix website. Because I hadn't received them yet I could cancel for a full refund
jewelie
21 Dec 16#80
Installed it. Seems to work fine with an XBox 360 Wireless controller, streaming over steam streaming, down to changing the icons of the buttons to suite. Even renders at 60fps at 4k DSR on a GTX960 (the limited VRAM on a 960 normally means only 1080p.) Perhaps they paid it some attention and cleaned it up?
slipd
21 Dec 16#81
Cancelled. Thanks guys!
Just wasn't for me this one...
FRZ
21 Dec 16#82
OK i was holding out on Lightning returns. is it worth playing before playing 13 + 13-x2?
Think i might just get a refund seems a lot of "Heres this game....maybe ull buy the rest?" sort of sale.
Dissappointed they put Tomb Raider in as well was holding out for the collection but now steam has like 15 DLC in it its pushed the price up £40-60
reddragon105
21 Dec 161#83
I just noticed that; it's really weird. Although I added the Hitman Upgrade Pack to my basket and the code for that worked, but the 20% off code won't work on anything for me.
You guys do realise that, whether you want the games or not, you got more than £4.99's worth of games for your £4.99, right? If you didn't want them, you could have easily sold them for a bit of profit or traded them for games of similar value.
FRZ
21 Dec 16#84
but its the hassle of finding people to buy the keys, admittedly i might have had hopes a bit high (wanted sleeping dogs) im happy with lightning returns just my only problem is i wanted to clear 13 and 13x2 first, this bundle hasn't really given me anything new to play besides Hitman, everything else (even hitman actually) i need/should make another purchase to fully enjoy the game.
dedbeat
22 Dec 16#85
Hitman upgrade pack is £8.25 using the code at the moment as the square store has already cut it 50%. I don't think £13.25 is to bad for the hitman collection and a FF game
randomvector to dedbeat
22 Dec 16#86
Hey was about to post that offer :laughing: Really good deal. I just tried the coupon to see if it would work and it did :smile:
Xemorph
22 Dec 16#87
Cool, got the free intro pack for Hitman and 50% off the upgrade pack and it was on sale for 50% off so got 50% off that for £8.25.
Xemorph
22 Dec 16#88
Damn, should have scrolled down.
Teath123
22 Dec 16#89
Yeah I think that's an oversight.. Since I tried to use the 20% code on FF13-2 and it wouldn't work, I assume because it was already discounted.
dedbeat
23 Dec 16#90
yea the 50% was specifically off of hitman upgrade i didnt try the 20% yet
