The Humble THQ Bundle

[Lanlan]

Also why does everyone hate THQ all of the sudden?

Compared to the other big third party publishers (I'm talking Activision, Ubisoft, THQ, and EA as the Fab Four here), they make pretty good games. I don't remember any horrific stories about them and really I'd love them to survive to continue with some quality games. South Park: Stick of Truth really deserves a release.

Although GBAtemp is full of pretentious video game hipsters who believe supporting the corporations who fuel their hobbies is just so dumb.

I used to hate THQ until I got into PC gaming, they release a lot of good PC stuff. I can honestly say I'm a fan of them now.

They've certainly improved over the years. Back in the days of the SNES the THQ logo was practically a warning.

For those complaining about this bundle.

Go kill yourselves immediately. Whiny little bitches.

To see a bundle like this is remarkable and to read bitching about it is unbelievable.

 

[Gahars]

A collection of great games from THQ? A minimum of $1.
Getting Saints Row The Third thrown in the mix? About $6 or so.
An inflated sense of entitlement? Priceless.

Amazing bundle if you ask me. I'd even get a few extras so I could play these with my buddies.

Like for Wii/NDS humble bundle.

That's just not possible in any way, since the platforms don't support downloads of full games.

Personally I'd be interested in seeing console games as options for the bundles just like Win/OS X/Linux/Android. The probability is very shallow though.

 

[Gahars]

Just a bit of an update: The Humble THQ Bundle has made about $3.3 million dollars so far.

Well, this might come as a shock to THQ; I know they're not exactly used to good news at this point.

 

[Satangel]

They added a few soundtracks to the bundle, no games sadly. I was hoping for some extra games, but that's just me being spoiled by the previous Bundle I guess.

 

[Joe88]

still have 8 day so there is still a chance for more games, hoping for rf guerilla

I'll admit THQ has a shady past but come on.... 1 buck for all the COH's is Epic for any RTS player.... and quit complaining as you are getting games for about 6 bucks that are console games..... (side from COH) shut up donate and enjoy the epicness.... as for additional added games..... DLC OR another game or 2 Plz lol

A friendly note of thanks.

For some reason, people are going off the wall about the THQ Bundle, saying how it kills the spirit of the Humble Bundles because it's not DRM free, it's not multi-platform, they're titles from a (single, at that) major dev, the $1 minimum for Steam keys (which has been around since very close to the beginning of Bundles), among some other things. Saying it's a last resort before THQ closes up shop (as they've fallen on harder times, it appears).

I say screw it. I think this Bundle is fantastic. I was absolutely amazed to see this many mainstream titles in one Bundle at a set-your-own-price scheme, as is usual for Humble Bundles (what would the bundle be without that?) I just wanted to give you guys a word of thanks for providing such a great bundle (despite not being able to pay much for it as I am a bit low on my money as well), a word of encouragement to ignore the flak you guys may get personally (as a group) and publicly on the internet for how different it is from the typical Bundle, and a suggestion that you guys try to have more Bundles like this one, of course depending on what developers are willing to jump on board for it.

Again, thanks guys. I've bought every bundle since Humble Indie Bundle 2, which at the end, included Humble Indie Bundle 1. It's great, and it must be awesome to see the other sites that have popped up from inspiration, running deals like yours (first coming to mind is Indie Royale).

Regards, and happy gaming,

Hey Nick,

Thank you for the feedback, we really appreciate it.

While we realize the Humble THQ Bundle is different from previous bundles, we just want to let you know that this is just one of many sweet bundles we’re going to be doing. We definitely aren’t giving up on awesome cross-platform, DRM-free bundles, and we think you’ll be super excited by our next bundle. (PS… it’s Humble Indie Bundle 7!) We’ve even hired an in-house porter who is porting sweet Linux and Mac games round the clock!

Best regards,

Matthew

Titan Quest and Red Faction: Armageddon DLC have been added.
Anyone who got the bundle before gets them, whether the beat the average or not.

And this is why I always buy 'em right when I see 'em.

agreed same here.... woot for Epic games for 5.75 (what I paid)

 

[Lanlan]

Hell yes, Titan Quest is an amazing Diablo clone.

 

[Sly 3 4 me]

Picked it up on the first day, similar to how I have done on most of the bundles after I was introduced to them.

 

[Janthran]

Hey, is there anyone who has an extra Titan Quest key?
A friend of mine didn't get the bundle in time and I want to play that with him.
I can trade a Dota 2 key, but that's about it.

 

[Guild McCommunist]

Titan Quest? Sweet, my friend and I were looking to play it before but my pirated copy didn't mesh too well with his official copy. Now we can finally play it.

 

[Deleted User]

I have the bundle but not the titan quest, how can I get it??
