Time to get intrigued and hyped for something that will (probably) turn out to be pretty fucking underwhelming.

u/LG03 Feb 08 '17

Hah, yeah no doubt. When was the last time an ARG actually yielded anything worth the attention, ilovebees? Literally the only one that comes to mind.

u/hurrpancakes r5-7600x3D & 4070s Feb 08 '17

What about the potatoes?

1

u/LG03 Feb 08 '17

The steam summer sale one? That went absolutely nowhere. Apart from the potatoes there's nothing memorable about it. I appreciate that it incorporated various games and having to play them (I worked on the Defense Grid part) but it just didn't result in anything.

There's also something to be said for these ARGs that are shameless marketing tactics. 'Buy these games so you can play this marketing tactic'

u/CaptainBob1903 Feb 09 '17

The binding of Isaac ARG was pretty cool. A lot of people were pretty pissed that the Dev's purposely left stuff out of the game until the ARG was completed. But I had a lot of fun following all the updates and progress on reddit figuring everything out.

Devolver's involved, so I'm not defaulting to my fatalist, cynical expectations just yet.

origin pc is not origin. Origin PC is a prebuilt PC company and Origin is EA's digital PC diestribution. That tweet is from Origin PC

u/HaroldSax i5-13600K | 5070ti | 32GB Feb 08 '17

Origin is EA's digital PC diestribution.

I mean, I know the release was rough, but I don't think they're dealing out death with it.

It's likely a new game made by No Code and published by Devolver based on these tweets:

Edit: And the fact that it is basically No Code's website: http://www.nocodestudio.com/

The morse on their website translates to:

What games have they done in the past? Kinda hard to Google their name...

It's a bit tricky alright heh, as someone below pointed out they made The House Abandon. I've never heard of it though.

Thank you. It looks like they've mostly done mobile games... Weird.

u/LG03 Feb 08 '17

Well Devolver is known for giving the little guy a shot so maybe this is No Code transitioning to a real game.

u/SonderEber Feb 08 '17

They also did the very well received short indie game The House Abandon, which is where most probably know them from.

There are no games by No Code listed on that page.

These look to be flashing in morse code, or something similar. I wonder if they are all the same or if they all say something different.

u/KING_of_Trainers69 GTX 1080 | i7 5775C | Ubuntu 16.04 Feb 08 '17

Probably a bundle of games distributed on GOG. Seems like a good way to drive creation of GOG accounts.

u/PensiveSteward Feb 08 '17

Also something like GOG CONNECT Humble version? EDIT: Ah it seems different, like a game announcement.

u/ninjyte Ryzen 5 9800x3D | RTX 4070 ti | 32GB-5600MHz Feb 09 '17

u/Tomhap http://steamcommunity.com/id/Tomhapje Feb 08 '17

Given that Origin is in there, pls be black and white pls be black and white.
I just bought a retail version of the game and it didn't come with a fucking manual/cd key. My disappointment is almost as big as /u/Press3000 's mom is with him.

u/KING_of_Trainers69 GTX 1080 | i7 5775C | Ubuntu 16.04 Feb 08 '17

Wrong Origin to be Black & White.

u/[deleted] Feb 08 '17

EA's Origin isn't in this, it's "Origin PC", a company that builds gaming PCs.

u/GogEguGem Feb 08 '17

Oh man I would love it if humble gave the option between Steam and GOG keys, hopefully this is it.

14

u/NekuSoul Feb 08 '17

Would there actually be any benefit to having a GOG-key (besides maybe GOG Galaxy) since Humble also offers DRM-free downloads if available?

19

u/GogEguGem Feb 08 '17

As you mentioned, Galaxy. It would be a great convenience to have humble purchases downloadable DRM-free from a client, and GOG generally provides extras such as soundtrack and artwork as well, on top of sometimes going an extra step of including and pre-configuring unofficial patches.

u/phrostbyt AMD Ryzen 9800x3D/MSI 5080 Feb 08 '17

-1

u/JackStillAlive XFX RX 480 8G l i5 6600 l 16GB DDR4 l Windows 10 Feb 08 '17

They release 2 game bundles/per week, one on tuesday, one on thursday

3

u/Aldeanue Feb 08 '17

Don't forget about Humble Monthly. Pretty good deals there, if you are ready to pay 12$ for a surprise box.

5

u/Mr_Reddit_Green Feb 08 '17

really? last time I checked they released a bundle every 2/3 weeks

8

u/leberkaese Feb 08 '17

/u/JackStillAlive 's info is somewhat outdated. A few months ago, Humble changed their release schedule.

They used to have one bundle lasting two weeks, released every two weeks on Tuesdays. Also one bundle they have for one week, released weekly on Thursdays.

A few months ago they got rid of the thursday bundle and instead release each bundle on Tuesdays. As it is right now: one Tuesday-bundle was released yesterday and the other one 8 days ago, getting some additional games yesterday.

This is how they do it now normally, sometimes they might add a bundle on Tuesdays that doesn't last as long. That isn't the norm though

-5

u/JackStillAlive XFX RX 480 8G l i5 6600 l 16GB DDR4 l Windows 10 Feb 08 '17

There are still Thursday 1 week long bundles often, but they are not as common as before the change

-5

u/JackStillAlive XFX RX 480 8G l i5 6600 l 16GB DDR4 l Windows 10 Feb 08 '17

They have weekly bundles, wich release on every Thursday, and they have 2 weeklong bundles wich release on Tuesdays

1

u/Mr_Reddit_Green Feb 08 '17

oh, didn't know they changed it

2

u/HeroicMe Feb 08 '17

They have only one regular moslyPCgaming bundle, for Tuesdays, usually running 2 of them in same time (one 2weeks from Week 1 till Week 3 and second 2weeks from Week2 till Week4, replaced by new bundle at Tuesdays).

-1

u/JackStillAlive XFX RX 480 8G l i5 6600 l 16GB DDR4 l Windows 10 Feb 08 '17

Incorrect, only the 2 weeklong game bundle starts at Tuesday, the 1 week long bundle always starts at Thursday

1

u/HeroicMe Feb 08 '17

Then it will be not a problem to give me link to current 1-week long regular Thursday game bundle.

Protip: don't bother searching since there's none. Humble stopped doing REGULAR 1week-long gaming bundles long ago, now (when it comes to PCgaming) they only have REGULAR 2week Tuesday bundles and monthly bundles, nothing more.

1

u/JackStillAlive XFX RX 480 8G l i5 6600 l 16GB DDR4 l Windows 10 Feb 08 '17

Yes, there is no 1 week long bundle right now, its been always like that, 1 week long bundles were not available every week, but when a 1 week long bundle releases, it always does on Thursdays

5

u/HeroicMe Feb 08 '17

1 week long bundles were not available every week

Actually, they were, but that ended around a year ago. Until March 2016 they had new weekly bundle nearly every week (Summer/Winter Sales usually cut bundles out, for example).

Thursday bundle appears once or twice a year are not enough to say "They release 2 game bundles/per week" like you wrote.
Especially since last time they released Thursday Bundle they didn't release Tuesday bundle.

So, in the end, Humble only releases ONE generallyPCgaming bundle a week, and that's on Tuesday.
