If you like your pennies, buy the AC base tier for ~£0.85 and you get 10% off the monthly subscription, enjoy your saved £0.12 :smile: (Some sort of vote applied mayte :smirk: )

I think it's quite safe to say that the entrance fee alone is worth it just for XCOM 2. The rest are a bonus.

Very true - paid more than this in the christmas sales for XCOM 2 alone!

is it ps plus style? in that when I cancel after a month I no longer have x com 2?

nathan3007 to gefafawhisp

6 Jan 17 1 #5

I'm pretty sure you get to keep it forever, as with PlayStation the game is linked to your account, whereas with humble, it gives you a key and you redeem it wherever i.e steam

Ninhau to gefafawhisp

no. its keep it forever, no renting here

a lot of EU customers are reporting this on steamgifts as well - so you are not alone - looks as though it might be a glitch relating to EU release versus US release - but rest assured you are one of many :disappointed:

This is a great deal as you always get a couple of really good games in the bundle as well. Last months Vermintide bundle included 2 dlc's for Vermintide, Project Cars and Mother Russia Bleeds.

Damnit- just the ps4 £15 copy

Does this come with the DLC? I'm assuming it doesn't.

Battenberg to seven324

6 Jan 17 1 #25

I promised myself I wasn't going to buy any more of these since they started putting past monthly bundle games in the bottom tier of regular bundles but it's hard to argue with XCOM 2 for £10.

EDIT: Just bought/ redeemed it and checked on Steam - no DLC with it, you just get the base game. Although based on what people have said in Steam reviews about DLC it doesn't sound like you're missing out on a whole lot.

Can I sign up and get xcom 2 then cancel when I get the steam key?

Icedream to umirza85

6 Jan 17 2 #14

I'd imagine you can cancel, but you would still be charged for this months.

amazing bundle, glad I skipped this in the winter sales!

Gonna get pretty hot here

Amazing bundle? You don't know what it is yet.
Imo, Januarys bundle was crap. I've just cancelled my sub with Humble Bunde.

liltman

6 Jan 17 #18

I forgot to unsub this month lol but tbh it's such a good deal I might stay subbed. Got some nice games this month too including Project Cars (which I've wanted to try :smile:)

Xcom 2 seems cool too, never finished the first one, might have to rectify that then play 2!

Illusionary

6 Jan 17 #20

Very nice - just a shame that I already bought the game last year :stuck_out_tongue:

That said, I'm very happy with what I paid given that it supports the devs :smiley:

jordy92

6 Jan 17 #21

When I subscribe I get Xcom 2 and then cancel, do I still get the "more games to come" for the month?

Illusionary to jordy92

6 Jan 17 #22

You do, yes :smiley:

umirza85

6 Jan 17 #23

That still works out no? just sign up for the cost of this month and get xcom 2? Unless im reading this wrong.

Halo

6 Jan 17 1 #24

I thought this month's was easily the best one since the start. There have been some absolute stinkers in the past, though.

paulsalmon77

6 Jan 17 1 #26

Any bundle containing XCom2 is amazing by my book, even if the only other game was Bad Rats

Midnight Tboy

6 Jan 17 #27

Definitely have to buy into this month. Now I hope they do a humble bundle soon that has the enemy within+dlc lot in again as missed out on it last time it was on

slipd

6 Jan 17 #29

So is this like the Square Enix Easter/Winter surprise box, apart from you know what the first game is obviously? :smirk:

Illusionary to slipd

6 Jan 17 #31

Pretty much, though of course there's a much wider range of games that could be included in the eventual full bundle.

Illusionary

6 Jan 17 1 #30

You get a Steam (PC) copy of the game here, not one for Xbox One.

MBeeching

6 Jan 17 1 #32

Yes... oh yes! Ten pounds is the winning ticket, plus a few bonuses..

slipd

7 Jan 17 #33

Bought! I think my purchase worked out at £10.07? Thanks OP!

Now where do I cancel? :smile:

hezmeister

7 Jan 17 #34

do they normally give a free game when you first subscribe, or just this time?

Illusionary to hezmeister

7 Jan 17 #35

This isn't a 'free' game, just an early unlock from the full bundle. There's always an early unlock 'headline' game on offer each month.

Dichotomy

7 Jan 17 1 #36

To anyone looking to buy then cancel it is worth noting you get a 10% discount on humble store purchases while you are subbed. You won't be charged again until a week before the whole of the next bundle is released (not this one) so you have until then to cancel. If you like the look of the early access game of the next bundle you can also opt to pay for that bundle early to get it the same time as new subscribers.

The monthly bundle is a lottery... I had the may one and the last 4 and I havent been disappointed. you know, its really exciting waiting on the last day to see what you have. the fun factor and the surprise is what really make it worth the money for me. great fun !

hezmeister

7 Jan 17 #38

oh I see, thankyou. I've never heard about this before

Illusionary

No worries - let me know if you have any other questions. :smiley:

Nooooooo. Literally just bought this from the Humble Store, haven't played it, and always get all the humble monthlies!

Razorfishy

7 Jan 17 1 #41

Great deal, this and Project Cars make it a good month.
I like that for £8, you get a good selection of different games you wouldn't normally buy. Each month I install every one and make sure I play each for a good 10-15mins. Sure, you'll uninstall some instantly, but others will be a surprise and stick around. I still play previous months titles like... Rocket League (250hrs+), Grim Dawn (50hrs+), Stardew Valley (85hrs+), The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing (10hrs, only started this week).
Great value for money gaming, considering a full price / console game might cost you the same as 6x months subs!

reddragon105 to Razorfishy

7 Jan 17 #44

Yeah, I've been subscribed for a year now and even the bad months have been worth it. The early unlock game is almost always worth the price of admission alone - I've already had some of them, so then they've been spare copies for friends, traded or sold. Then the rest of the games are unlocked and there are always some nice surprises in there - for anyone who got January's bundle, Jotun is a lovely little game with beautiful artwork and The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky is an excellent JRPG, so give both of those a chance. I already had them unfortunately but at least I got to discover Mother Russia Bleeds (Hotline Miami meets Streets of Rage). As I trade or sell my spare keys I don't think any of these bundles has actually cost me anything!

Worth it for xcom - great game. Long war 2 on its way too which will make for many more hours play time :smiley:

Lee5010

7 Jan 17 #45

Is it too late to sign up and get XCOM 2 now? The page says subscribe for next month.

Thanks

BuzzDuraband to Lee5010

7 Jan 17 #46

No. This went live yesterday and is part of next month's bundle mate. XCOM 2 is the early unlock you receive :smiley:

Teath123

7 Jan 17 #47

Just a side note, they go by the RRP to decide the value of all the games in the bundle. It doesn't really matter since Xcom 2 is worth 10 quid on its own, but because Xcom 2's RRP is 60 dollars, the rest of the games are going to be much lower value overall.

10 Jan 17 1 #51

There's a cancellation link on the settings page - it's very straightforward.

Midnight Tboy

11 Jan 17 #52

does the xcom 2 dlc add missions/story, or is it purely just cosmetic stuff as the vids I've briefly checked here at work look like its just the latter

Illusionary to Midnight Tboy

11 Jan 17 1 #53

Both:

Anarchy's Children - cosmetic
Alien Hunters - new mission and 'ruler' aliens
Shen's Last Gift - new mission and class (mechs)
Resistance Warrior Pack - cosmetic

When do the next lot of this months subscription games released? I'd like to know when to cancel, see :stuck_out_tongue:

I've actually used the 10% discount several times already for friends and family but I'm finished now and I don't want to forget...

Illusionary

22 Jan 17 1 #56

Just cancel when you get the email from Humble with the details of the bundle?

That aside, there's a countdown at https://www.humblebundle.com/monthly/p/january_2017_monthly

The free Long War 2 mod for XCOM 2 (paid for by the Firaxis team behind XCOM 2) has arrived, expanding any purchase of XCOM 2 with a large, free DLC:

http://www.pcgamer.com/the-long-war-2-mod-is-a-must-play-reinvention-of-xcom-2/
"The Long War 2 mod is a must-play reinvention of XCOM 2"

"The word 'mod' undersells The Long War 2. 'Mod' implies an aesthetic tweak, a UI correction, a new weapon perhaps. In fact this is XCOM 2 as developed in a parallel universe. The Long War 2 does add lots of new weapons, classes and skills, but all these service a set of bespoke design aims that turn XCOM 2 from a survival strategy game into a gradually paced army and territory management sim with expanded combat encounters."

now 3.99 at GMG. However, for some reason for myself as soon as I log in its in dollars (and $8 )

28 Jan 17 #61

Hi guys

I had an email overnight from humble bundle offering 10% off this bundle, so $10.80. This is for people who previously subscribed then cancelled. You can also get a $5 voucher for the main store so check your emails!!

EQL

28 Jan 17 #62

Yes, you are right, it's £3.99 for those that log-in: https://www.greenmangaming.com/games/xcom-enemy-unknown-the-complete-edition/

Midnight Tboy

28 Jan 17 #63

Yes, but I mean when I log in, it is changing to $ and at $7.99 (emoticons got in the way of that original message). No VPN etc in use

Now that I got home, for some reason I'm unable to even sign into my gmg account at all arghhh, nor can I even reset password. I seem destined to never be able to order that game. GMG is a terrible site.

I don't suppose some kind soul would purchase on my behalf and I paypal gift them the money lol

Illusionary

28 Jan 17 #64

I'm happy to buy a copy on your behalf - drop me a PM and we can get things sorted.. Everyone deserves the chance to play XCOM. :smiley:

For me, I like the look of Abzu (which was up for Totalbiscuit's Most Striking Aesthetic Award for 2016: https://youtu.be/w65sF8vxYeU?t=1631, reviews on Steam: Very Positive 92%, 84% Metacritic
and SteamWorld: Heist (Steam reviews: 97% Very positive, 81% Metacritic),

SteamWorld: Heist was TotalBiscuit's Top 10 game of 2016, he also did an After Hours on SteamWorld: Heist.
