[Catastrophic lolcats]

Humble Bundle is having a big bundle on Pathfinder (the pen and paper RPG).

For anyone who doesn't know Pathfinder is a fork of Dungeons and Dragons 3.5 which is often considered the high point of D&D before the almost universally hated 4th edition. While I'm not a massive fan of the ruleset (since I tend to prefer much more simple systems with a greater focus on dm/player interactions) it's impossible to ignore both the popularity and customisation of Pathfinder.

So, Ashes of the Singularity is half off and apparently added a faction recently. If anyone has it, is it worth getting currently? Reviews seem generally good.

I'm curious as well. I normally don't do early access these days but 50% off is tempting

[BuriBuriZaemon]

In case this hasn't been mentioned, X3 series are 50% off. X3 Albion Prelude is definitely worth it for USD5. The dev has updated X Rebirth and it's also on discount but I'm staying away from it as I prefer X3-style gameplay (can pilot multiple ships yay).

[BigD145]

The X big box deal is worth it. Albion is pretty good too.

Albion prelude requires TC to work...
The sad thing being that i have a boxed version of the "superbox" problem being... it's not a steam copy and didn't came with the steam codes.

Basically i have the entire series BUT AP.

I'd ask Egosoft support if i can have a "free" copy of TC so i can buy AP but i hear they don't fare so well.
Not ot mention i don't have any evidence beyond the original box i could as well simply forge.

Oh well.

[Shadowlord]

it has serial numbers, doesn't it?

Also I thought AP was standalone.

[Sonlirain]

Double checked my box. No serials.
The insides of the box consist of:
A card/manual with copyrights system requirements and installation guide.
3 DVDs
1 for TC (yes it got an entire DVD for itself)
1 for... everything else X1, X-tension, X2 and X3.
And finally the 3'rd DVD is full of bonus content. Videos, soundtrack(s), scripts, tools, mods ETC.

basically the full package minut AP (that came out after the box)

[Shadowlord]

Huh. Ah.

Until the removal of digital rights management in the 2.5 update, X3: Terran Conflict used Tagès as copy prevention. For the DVD versions of the game, the DVD was required to be in the drive to start the game. For online distribution version of the game, including Steam, the number of installations was limited to 5 machines. More activations were available by contacting either Egosoft or Valve.

There's no citation on that quote, I'm just assuming it's accurate because it sounds likely.

I have X Superbox too and was able to claim its key on Steam, and then got a free AP when it was released. It was on the last page of the 4-page document containing Copyrights and End User Agreements.

[Sonlirain]

Cept my version didn't come with any documents.
Only 3 DVDs and a small scrap of paper (barely a brochure) talking about epilepsy copyright, system requirements and installation.

No codes or serials anywhere.
The Polish boxed version might have been stunted i guess.

-ignore this-

[BigD145]

Humble Bundle front page has a Star Wars bundle with both KotOR's for under $7, plus other stuff.

[TheBiggerFish]

The Force is with us.

[Sonlirain]

Star Wars Galactic battlegrounds is a pretty shoddy steam launch.
No HD support.
Artifacting colors.
Wonky sound (the music seems to blast away at full volume drowning out every other sound and the sound sliders in the options menu do exactly nothing.)
And that's after running the bat file in the games folder.
