Humble Bundle Firaxis

Probably going to pick this up since I don't have any of these games AFAIK. Is it worth $15 for Beyond Earth?
 
Not bad of a deal. I really felt meh about BE but I am hoping its better now.
 
When Beyond Earth came out, there was no way I was going to pay $50 for what I thought was an expansion. At $15, its priced like an expansion, and I'm OK with that.
 
Only things I'm missing are Beyond Earth and XCOM: Enemy Within, but this still seems like a great deal.
 
How do you know that the unlocks are those games?
 
I personally couldn't care less about the future unlocks being the older Xcom games, while I will say some of them are fun and belong in the video game hall of fame, the fact of the matter is that is all nostalgia, and the games are extremely dated now.

This is usually how Humble rolls. They reel you in and then unlock old shit or useless shit in the extras. For that matter even shit you got already if you purchased the high tier. Look at the last codemasters bundle. I believe there were two items that unlocked for the cheaper people that you got with the highest tier already. :rolleyes:

I don't have any of these xcom games and most of the other things I don't have either. If those unlocks in the OP are the true unlocks then I actually don't have any of those either LOL. So for me the $15 is a no brainer this time.

Oh I realize how they work, and I wasn't complaining about what was being released, hell I had the 3 Xcom games (not Enforcer) at one point, I believe on 3.5" floppy discs, don't have them anymore. I'm just saying nostalgia is making them seem better than they are, and probably will look quite dated and maybe clunky (with whatever front loader they supply to get them to run on a modern Windows system).

That said, the appeal of the bundle to me is based on the games that are there now, not what may be released.
