^Damn. That's a good bundle.

Yeah...wonderful...  >:(

Now I have another 12 games I don't have time for (though I *did* install Tropico 5 and Homeworld...)

I really bought this pack solely on Goatfury's high praise for Homeworld. Tropico 5 didn't hurt either. Ultimate General Gettysburg is something I've wanted for a while, too. The others I know little of but they sounded intriguing.

Guess I'll get to them by 2017, though goodness knows what bundles I'll have by then. :(

You bought it? You're worse than me!

[BanzaiCat]

Of course I did!

What kind of Grog would I be if I didn't buy everything that I don't have time to play? ???

[bbmike]

^  ;D  So true!

[mirth]

The logic is impeccable. I'll buy it tonight!

I wonder..

Do many people still prefer Tropico 4 with it's DLCs over Tropico 5?  That seemed the case after T5 came out.

#5 seems to be too scattered across time periods, when I looked for some info.  Not enough focus, as in #4?

Was really tempted by this particularly to pick up Victor Vran - then when I was checking the game out on Steam I found I already owned it  :-[

[Gusington]

^HAHAHA I've admittedly done that once or twice or...10 times.

I've bought crap on GOG only to find I had it on Steam, and vice versa. Only took me two times before I had to start being more careful.

We really, really need help.

No idea. I remember being pretty underwhelmed with Tropico 4 (I got a free copy because at the time I'd done quite a bit of freelance writing for Kalypso) so it didn't stay installed long. Tropico 5 might be fun. I liked the original one but can't say much for the remaining titles.

Well.... Tropico 5 is just Tropico 4 with shorter mini-campaigns scattered across the timeline, right?

I just recall people saying T4 had more depth, if you had all the DLC.

Same here.  My first go at the series was Tropico 4 and I remember being very disappointed with it, but I can't for the life of me remember why.  However I got Tropico 5 as part of the Humble bundle last night so I may as well have a go, innit.

I picked up BG2 Enhanced & IWD Enhanced.  Hadn't tried either of those in ages.  The HD mod, UI improvements, and fixes included in these newer ones was enough to entice me.

[Gusington]

Which of the Anno's set in the past is the best one? I played one of them years and years ago but don't remember which...

EDIT - I think it was 1602AD from 1998.

How is the 1404 AD from 2010?
