Square Enix Holiday Surprise Bundle

So if you weren’t aware Square Enix have launched their Holiday Surprise Bundle:
https://store.na.square-enix.com/product/435312/holiday-surprise-box-2016-pc-download

So 7 games of an approx price of $80, at a cost of $10. The link & those prices are for the North American store. I went through the Australian store due to my region & the price was $9AUD which is $6.74USD at current rate… so I’m hoping the games are the same.

My hope would be for Just Cause 3. Anyone else getting it & what are your hopes/predictions?

The last 3 surprise boxes were awesome for me. Final Fantasy games in it :blush:
I’ll pick this up probably. I’m missing a few Final Fantasy titles so I hope the box will complete my FF collection.

But I’m pretty sure the first episode of the new Hitman will be in it.

It will have every game you want even if square enix doesn’t make it

Not entirely true haha
I don’t want Just Cause, Hitman, Tomb Raider, Dead Island, Sleeping Dogs and Deus Ex XD
I’m a RPG fan, so games like Dungeon Siege and Dragon Quest with a lil bit of Life is Strange is something that I want from that box. If none of the games I want are in the box, I’ll give everything away. Yay

Katsuo I probably own everything in the box haha

I’ve never gotten one of these for some reason, are they Steam keys?

ShiftySatchmo Give it all awaaaaaay

schlitty Yup. Well, mostly. Last time I got 6 Steam keys and one Square Enix key (Final Fantasy 14 MMO). But they stated on the store page that the Steam keys will be sent at the end of the promo.

Just Cause™ 3 on Steam

But where’s the sense of fun & mystery in simply buying it?

This way I get a dose of danger & excitement. :slight_smile:

I grabbed the Easter one earlier this year & was really happy with the codes. Gave some away & kept some. As long as there’s at least one game worth ~$10, that interests me I’ll be happy. I’ll find homes for all the others.

And the bundle is released this morning to great fanfare & heralding of angels :angel: :trumpet: :angel:

To a resounding FFS

A completely underwhelming bundle in my opinion:

LIGHTNING RETURNS™: FINAL FANTASY® XIII
The best game in here… anyone want it?

GOETIA [PC DOWNLOAD]
a 2016 point & click game… probably the only one I’ll keep

LEGACY OF KAIN: SOUL REAVER [PC DOWNLOAD]
A 2012 release of 1999 game…

LEGACY OF KAIN: SOUL REAVER 2 [PC DOWNLOAD]
the 2001 PC release

HITMAN INTRO PACK [PC DOWNLOAD]
I lie… I’ll keep this one too; but pretty sure that this has been on a steep discount at times this year?

HITMAN GO: DEFINITIVE EDITION [PC DOWNLOAD]
Looks to be a mobile game for PC? Anyone played?

TOMB RAIDER: UNDERWORLD [PC DOWNLOAD]
2008 game… Is this the one everyone got excited about because Lara’s boobies were suddenly not cones?

20% Off Next Purchase (Digital Catalog Games Only, exclude Preorder) - (usable 1 time) nope - free to a good home

50% Off 291453 HITMAN Upgrade Pack [PC Download] - (usable 1 time) yeah… I’m not dropping another $35 to pad their wallets for such a poor (IMO) bundle. Happy to share for anyone who is looking for the upgrade pack.

I’m off to swallow my sadness & sob quietly in disappointment. Unlike some people out in internet land I won’t be trying to reverse Paypal etc to get a refund, as a bundle like this is a gamble. It’s just underwhelming in my opinion. There were a couple of games that could’ve been on there that were better than this.

I also still have some codes somewhere for the Easter bundle that I haven;t redeemed that I’ll offer up to, when I can find them.

Anyone else who got this find it great/disappointing?

Sgt_T8ie I have Hitman GO on mobile and it is fun. Turn based puzzles. I recommend you keep it because why not?

On mobile, would be good, but this is for PC. Maybe I’ll keep for my wife, she’ll probably like the planning & assassination aspect of it :slight_smile: for me I already have a heap of casual games to play (roguelikes are my go to for short time wasters & I just started on 1 finger death punch). Thanks for the feedback!
