Humble Indie Bundle V

[sly 3 4 me]

There have been 1-2 topics for the Humble Bundles previously, this is the fifth standard one.

Games included:
Amnesia: The Dark Decent
Psychonauts
Limbo
SuperBrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP

If the donation is more than the average(currently $7.12):
Bastion

It is an awesome collection, I've tried three of the five games up there and enjoyed them.

Get it while it's hot, the average has increased three dollars since I first went there this morning.  :P

The Humble Indie Bundle page

Edit: As the fashion for the past two bundles, and this one, steam keys are only provided for the games  if you donate more than $1. Otherwise they are DDL from their webpage.

This is definitely a Humble Indie Bundle to donate for with that line-up of games.

Just saw this in my email and I flipped, and came right here to post. Like holy crap, Amnesia and Limbo are by far 2 of my most loved indie games. Both very eerie and unique flavors... But damn.... This bundle is the best I've seen yet. Haven't tried the other 3 so I'm definitely picking this one up. I really hope these never stop coming.  :D

[ARTgames]

Never played any of these games. So i will get it.

Just bought it, thanks for posting.. When I try to run Limbo I get this error:



I've tried reinstalling twice and I still get this error.

Edit: 666th post :o

Download d3dx9_42.dll from here.

Navigate to your System32 file. C:/Windows/System32

Place the file in there after you unzip it. The .dll file, not the zip. Then try to run it. Try updating your directx too. It will help to prevent those errors in the future. If you have another error like the one now, just google the .dll it says, download it, then place it in the system32 file.

If you have Windows 7, then you're probably running Directx 11, so download directx 9, because Vista and 7 don't come with it installed, as Directx 11 doesn't include everything sometimes.  Directx 9 download

I did all of that and now I find out that my video card isn't sufficient to run it because I need Shaders 3.0. I guess I would need a new video card for that huh?

If I'm not mistaken, today is day one, and the emails went out less than 12 hours ago, they're already up to $1.3 million!  Hawt damn!

You can emulate cards, thus emulating the shaders, yet it's buggy and not very safe for the card.

Video cards are pretty cheap, this one was $20 and it is sufficient to run these games in terms of the shaders and RAM. It's not the best, by far, but for a junk computer like this it's fine.

Yea I'm on a Netbook so I can't really replace the card unfortunately. My old laptop's GPU got fried so this is what I'm stuck with at the moment.  :-\

I love the games in this bundle and I feel a little guilty for how much I donated, so I'm going to donate more later.

My favorites from this bundle are Psychonauts and Limbo. Psychonauts reminds me a lot of the old days when I played Spongebob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini Bottom, one of the very few Spongebob games that happens to be very good and is one of my childhood favorites. Limbo is a very clever and well designed puzzle platformer, and I love how unpredictable it is. I laughed at several of my deaths.

I don't know what to think of Swords & Sorcery so far. It's one of those games where you don't know what to think of it until you get to the end.

I'm not going to take a look at Amnesia. I get scared easily and I'm not fond of horror games.

I already have Bastion, but I'll try to pay higher than the average later, anyways. My opinion on that game is that it's well designed and it has good gameplay, but the keyboard controls are horrendous and the game doesn't recognize my gamepad.

[Matty_Richo]

Yeah this is definitely one of the better bundles they've had. I put up $25 for this one as I couldn't really justify spending more than that at the moment. But yeah, I'm really glad they already have over 3 million dollars worth of sales.

[Jmac]

Braid, Super Meat Boy, and Lone Survivor have been added to the bundle as three more "beat the average" games, unless you have already purchased the bundle, then they should be on your download page.

Oh c'mon, I already have Braid and Super Meat Boy, and Lone Survivor is a horror game! Oh well, still happy with the other games.

Seems like I usually have the good games in these bundles by the time they come out.

I have and played through Psychonauts about a year or so ago. Very very good game. One of my favorites actually.
I got Braid a little while back and played through it. Definitely unique gameplay and story telling. I would recommend it.
I just finished Bastion about a month ago. Absolutely recommend this one. It's amazing.
I have Super Meat Boy but I'm not so much into the ultra-difficult platform games. It seems like a fun game, but frustrating to me.
I don't have Limbo, but I was interested in it.
And I haven't heard much about the other games.
