great post

im going to try and validate this thread's existance here i go

Huh, I might get this, actually. But I'd have to pay above average, because I kind of want Bastion most of all.

[Paperkoopa]

Sounds pretty sweet actually, though I'm not into Amnesia that much. Also I've played Limbo before, so I don't know if it will be worth it. (Of course it will, its an humble bundle...)
I've been quite interested in Bastion so far, especially the music is supposed to be awesome.
I might get this aswell.

[Argumentable]

If you don't have Bastion I'd say get it

I have Bastion

[S.N.N.]

Bastion and Amnesia are the only two I don't have. I paid full price for Psychonauts and Limbo a couple of months ago and still haven't touched the former.

Should have waited and hoped for this, I guess.

[swirlybomb]

You could still get those two for cheap, though!

I didn't hesitate to buy this as soon as I got linked to it... Even though I still haven't played any of the games from a previous bundle I had bought. I'm sure I'll get around to them eventually.

Limbo is good for the first hour.

Awesome events/platforming.

I hope you LOVE puzzles for the second half.
Because that's all it is.

I think they have a lot of repeats for this one. Weren't Amnesia and Limbo in previous ones? Even Bastion?
Bought it anyway for a penny just for the soundtracks, since I already own most of the games.
(Don't give me that look I've given Humble Bundle at LEAST 50$ in past purchases.)

You won't. Trust me here.

It's now OVER!
5 million dollars raised

Superbrothers: Sword & Sorcery is amazing and it alone is totally worth what I paid for the whole bundle.

I mean, pretty much all of the those games are but especially that one.

[Cobalt]

I got it for Bastion. I was pleased when I found out SMB was unlocked too. Also i've been playing Psychonauts a lot too. SSEP is pretty in terms of music and art style i guess, but i haven't gotten too deep into it yet so yeah.

[Tsurugi]

Oh gods, Super Meat Boy. Maybe it's a result of using the godawful keyboard controls due to a lack of gamepad, but I hate that game so much. My hand cramps up after playing for more than five minutes and Meat Boy just feels really slippery when you need absolute precision.

Bastion is also really good, though. I haven't been it quite yet, but I'm at what I assume to be the final level and mostly i just keep getting distracted by sidequests.

[Argumentable]

Super Meat Boy is a bad game

Bastion is amazing however and I told everybody that if they were gonna buy it it should be for that game

Also the bundle would be worth it just for Bastion's soundtrack

Edit: Also if someone had said this

Superbrothers: Sword & Sorcery is amazing and it alone is totally worth what I paid for the whole bundle.

instead of "have fun" I probably would've gotten it cause I was on the fence about it

Meat Boy just feels really slippery when you need absolute precision.

I thought other games seemed more slippery and imprecise after playing Meat Boy.

But the wall-sliding controls. You slide up the wall when you hit it with enough speed, and how far you slide up is determined by your momentum which is ridiculously hard to control at the level of precision required and augh.

There are very, very few people that play well with the keyboard controls. The developers themselves recommend a gamepad, after all. I can tell you for certain I did a lot better with a gamepad.

As for the physics... the physics work well for the game, imo. I never really felt cheated by the physics.

They also said everything was fine when they were shown a security flaw

In general I prefer playing on a keyboard, just because I feel I have more precise control over movement than with analog stick. You can't remap the keyboard controls inside the game. You have to go into the configuration file for it and change them there. That's really stupid, and you couldn't even do that initially.

It's not like I'm bad at the game, I got more than halfway through Rapture before my hand cramping up outpaced my ability to learn the muscle memory required for beating the stage.

For the most part, I didn't feel like the physics were directly screwing me over. It's just, in a game that demands precision, your controls should be precise. For all it's other glitches and flaws, IWBtG at least delivers that. From like, mid-Hell onwards, I was always feeling like I was fighting against the slipperiness and the control layout as much as the actual obstacles.

Maybe there's other characters that have physics that I'd like better, but I can't be bothered to get enough bandages to find out.
