skeletonbow: Gotta love bundles!

stg83: I admire your optimism but WB has a lot of games they can bundle and judging by the second Humble Origin Bundle, the quality is diminishing with most bundles these days as compared to the past. The tactics of the publisher aside I still think Rocksteady deserves to be supported for their track record of developing really good games and I would still like to support them in some way for delivering hands down the best comic book video game series IMO.

Infact the first two games that I bought on Steam were Batman Arkham Asylum and City despite having played them before. :)

Riotact: Ill be getting the PS4 versiion, what irks me is the fact that Gamestop has exclusive content for preorders which I cant get because I will be buying it from PSN....because I wont buy from GS after they screwed me over with the Preorder DLC for Rage, but even if I bought it from GS, I would miss the PSN DLC :(

stg83: Indeed, another terrible practice that really annoys me since PC players will be missing out on the timed exclusive Scarecrow NIghtmare Pack on PS4 as well when the game is released. No reason whatsoever to preorder or even buy at launch for PC players.
Ouch, I didn't know that :(

skeletonbow: Ok, so I might have to wait 24-32 months then I guess. It's impossible to count but a rough estimate across all gaming services and CD/DVD games is that I have over 1000 games now so I think I just might be able to wait it out while still having something to entertain myself with. ;o) Worst case would be waiting for them to free promo it for some other game, new video card game freebie or something of that sort, or steamcompanion.com or steamgifts.com. Either way I feel confident that all but maybe 10-20 games released each year is obtainable for less than $5 within 6-24 months some way or another with few exceptions and prior game deals and bundles give a lot of padding to ride it out. Heck, just a game like Skyrim or a few games that time consuming to complete are enough to ride it out. :)
I certainly don't doubt your patience and the tendency of games to become much cheaper two years after release. But I do have some doubts about it being in a humble bundle, but to be fair it is still quite possible somewhere down the line as Batman Arkham Origins has been in a bundle already.

Also agree that there are more then enough games to keep one occupied in the mean time for as long as it takes. I on the other hand have been eagerly anticipating this game ever since it was announced and having immensely enjoyed the previous games I can only hold off till the eventual GOTY edition to play this epic conclusion to the Arkham trilogy despite having a lot of other games that I can play as well, not Skyrim though as I don't see the appeal personally. :)

Understood. I have to admit, had someone told me that the first two highly popular Batman games, all 3 FEAR games, 3 Lord of the Rings games, 3 Mortal Kombat games and various other Batman and LOTR DLC/etc. would show up in a Humble Bundle for $3.76 2 years ago I would have thought they were nuts. There have been other bundles I'd have considered equally unlikely for similar pricing also. Nowadays I find it less and less unlikely and see some patterns forming that I think it is now almost predictable to happen based on a number of factors including initial price of a game when it comes out, how fast the regular price drops and how soon it gets deep discounted as well as how often, when it comes out with a GOTY or Enhanced Edition or similar, and where it stands on Steam stats the first day, few days, week etc. after release and where it stands a month, 6 months, 12 months later. Most games like this enjoy super popularity for a very brief period, may even win awards for it, then people lose interest and their popularity plummets quickly and they become the digital online equivalent of bargain bin games with GOTY stickers on them. Arkham Origins price dropped pretty much how I predicted, then DLC for the game kept it propped up for a while, but I predict that it wont be long until that game ends up taking a big price drop and deep discounting and probably hit Humble before too long. Keep in mind some of the DLC for Origins has already hit Humble in the bundle I mention above. :)

It's almost like having a crystal ball. :)

The worst Tank-Simulator I have ever played. Somehow I got to play Batman a few times in it too, but not much.
