So I can uninstall Destiny 2 from Battle.net, right? My saves won't get deleted if I uninstall it?

Well.. after the flop that was Agents of Mayhem I don't think Volition has any choice other than to return to Saint's Row. Do we know if it's going to be a reboot? Can't imagine where they would go to try be more crazy than the last one.

I'd like a new Saints Row game, but I'm not really optimistic about them being able to make something that lives up to the previous main-line entries.

Star Wars Battlefront is only €4.49 now on Origin. That's as much as parking my car for two hours in my city. Anyone (still) playing this? Is it worth buying it now at that price?

I really liked SR4, beat it and Gat out of Hell recently. Agents of Mayhem was okay but a step down. i would be okay with a more rooted version but I think I like the more arcadey superhero game more. They should just go full Crackdown and let me collect orbs.

Need impressions regarding Octopath Traveler now that it's out. Can't go the captain sparrow method to check if the game works properly as it uses Denuvo.

Haydee - I'm guessing a lot of people insta-reject the game simply because of the way the playable character looks which is a shame. This is an excellent game and it deserves all the love it can get. Technically and mechanically it's very similar to Resident Evil 4 but it manages to keep a constant sense of dread throughout the game while RE4 gets lost halfway through in it's own silliness. Absolutely recommended.
Yeah, Haydee is a very good game beyond its pervy MC design - which is easily fixed if you're not into it thanks to the Workshop - and it gets dumb cheap during sales.

I agree, it seems they burnt the ip to the ground. Three was a lot of fun but the following entries weren't any better.

Reboot, most probably. Gat out of Hell is supposed to be the last point of the current SR timeline.

Yeah, after SRGoH and AoM I simply can't get excited about Saints Row. Unless they announce SR2 remastered, that would make me go crazy.
Was SR4 any good? I remember finishing 3 and feeling relieved I was done with that nonsense and 4 seemed like more of the same, only sillier.
Best SR after SR2, but if you just played SR3 you might feel burned by it since the gameplay is pretty much the same.

For what it's worth, part of the management left and worked on (the awesome) Overload, but since then they returned to Volition, so maybe things will be back on track? :unsure:

I personally though SR4 went too much with the crazy... or at least didn't know what it wanted it to be, which was also a problem in Agents of Mayhem. They need to pick a lane and have focus.

It is basically SR3 with some super powers. If you had enough at the end of 3 than and I wouldn't recommend it.

Reboot, most probably. Gat out of Hell is supposed to be the last point of the current SR timeline.
I guess with time travel, virtual worlds and even hell then can do whatever they want... but is probably wiser to reboot it :)

nice early unlocks.

edit. Jesus christ the last month was horrendous! Good thing I sold COD for my moneys worth but I wish I had put it on hold just out of spite.

edit2. Based on MSRP Humble have been steadily trending down in overall price. $139 total MSRP! thats very low when you consider all games are on sale often. Well at least my year is up soon.

Probably another pause for me. Hellblade is good but I already own it, and Moonlighter has good regional price over here so I doubt it would be worth it.

Those regular unlocks :cautious:
Well, it didn't work out too bad for me, since I don't own Duskers, Paratopic, and Pool Panic.
I don't remember the last time I was missing so many games.

But yeah, I can't wait to finish my subscription, I own pretty much everything they include (or close to it).

I liked and finished 3, but got bored playing 4 after a few hours. Not worth it imo.

Friendly reminder that there's a buy/sell topic here on MetaCouncil as well (that barely anyone checks, besides me, Deques and BernardoOne :grinning-face-with-smiling-eyes:), so those looking to buy or sell the Humble monthly games may want to check or post on it:

I'll buy Hellblade from you if you decide to stay subscribed anyway.

Edit: bough it already.

I didn't expect this, I thought CG would be publishing it on their own, good for Xseed the franchise has a lot of potential

edit: given the TL quality of their stuff the game is in good hands, also there goes the last game of the E3 lineup
edit 2: unfortunately only ps4 for now it seems, but I guess we can hope

As others have said, it's a pretty good superhero game but for me personally it wasn't a great Saints Row game. I like that the series has always been sillier than GTA so it made sense that they kept ramping it up with each release. They just went a little too far in that direction for me.

2 is still my favorite even despite the janky PC version. I've probably played through it 3 or 4 times. I miss the clothing and car customization from that so much.
