This is for me actually one of the more interesting bundles. Even though I already had SPAZ and Shatter and have zero interest in Torchlight.

I think it is a very good line-up. The games are more "hidden gems" for the most part (SPAZ, Shatter, Rochard). Maybe that is turning people off.

Uh.... there's nothing wrong with it. It being one of the "least successful numbered bundles" doesn't mean a whole lot, it's just some arbitrary qualifier you chose for some reason. It's still sold better than the first 2 , frozenbyte, frozen synapse, voxataron debut, introversion , botonicula and android bundles, and it could be on pace to match some of the other numbered bundles. There's a week left to go still. Is it going to top 5? No, but that doesn't mean there is something wrong. Bundle 5 was just ridiculously awesome and hard to top.

The games are great, but I think most of people should already have at least one or two games in the bundle. There was a frenzy about Dustforce and SPAZ, many people should have them already. Rochard was free from IGN, a lot of people should have that also. Torchlight is too main stream, and Torchlight 2 offer free copy of Torchlight 1 previously, certainly most of people caring about this game already have that.......
And these are all major selling point of the bundle........

I can only speak for myself, but for me bundle fatigue is definitely the #1 thing why I rarely buy these kind of bundles anymore. It seems like there's always a new bundle out every week. At first I used to buy them if there was at least one decent-looking, interesting game packed in there. Then I went to getting just the one I wanted via trading (for example just Zeno Clash from the IndieRoyale it was in). And for a long time I didn't buy any of the bundles or the stuff they held within; if I got them for free I might have taken some of the games in them. This might be also due to the fact that for a very long time, not a single bundle came out that had even remotely interesting games in them. I did buy Hib VI though, because Shatter looked cool and I didn't yet have Torchlight. The rest of the pack I'll probably never play though (Rochard I already had and have played and finished), but since Hib forces to activate them all, there wasn't anything that could've been done (like donating the leftovers).

I still remember how awesome the first bundles were though, and all of the games were really interesting and worth getting. Nowadays it seems they're making a bundle of every single (piece of crap) indie game and sometimes include even games that are far from indie. So yeah, bundle fatigue. I think they've already ran out of the better indie games out there, which is why to me the latest bundles feel mediocre at best compared to the first bundles. I'm not saying there can't be new, awesome indie games; what I'm saying, that usually the bundles have maybe 1 or 2 interesting games in them when they used to have 5 to 6. That's why in most cases I don't want to bother getting the bundles at all .

I think we need to wait for at least one more bundle before making any such statements... This is still a successful bundle, and doing a lot better then any other bundles. Define successful?

Um... what? I can absolutely understand bundle fatigue and the problem of most people already owning half of the games, but I do not agree at all that the games in recent Humble Bundles are less interesting or worse than those in the first ones. I don't know about you, but I actually find all of the HIB6 games interesting, same for HIB5. Also the average title they include nowadays seems to be more polished and high-profile.
Now, if you were talking about the various other bundles, then I agree, I got the same impression from them (and since there is ususally only 1 or maybe 2 games in them that interest me, I haven't bought any other bundle in quite some time).

Not sure. I was surprised at the low numbers as well.Maybe people ran out of money or sick of indie bundles ;)

Wrong is, too few interesting games mirror the HB V. Comparing is not cool, but it is human, and so we are. What else.. ?

In the context of a Humble Indie Bundle, I would define successful as $$$ made.

HIB 1 raised around $1.27 mill (138,813 @ $9.18)
HIB 2 raised around $1.8 mill (232,855 @ $7.85)
HIB 3 raised around $2.16 mill (372,399 @ $5.83)
HIB 4 raised around $2.37 mill (435,250 @ $5.45)
HIB V raised around $5.10 mill (599,003 @ $8.53)

So far HIB 6 is at $1.30 mil (223,003 @ $5.84). Sure there is a week left, but not much has been made over the last 3 or 4 days. Maybe it will pick up when they release more games. I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't hit $2 mill.
Well in fairness, it was an arbitrary qualifier chosen by me, and by the people who make the Humble Indie Bundles...

This bundle does not have anything I want.

I would define successful as making a good profit and/or nice donations for charity. I would never say that getting $1.3 mill is an unsuccessful bundle. It did not reach the same heights as the others, but it is still a very successful bundle.

Sorry, I should've been more clear in what I meant. I've always thought that Humble Bundles are the best bundles and they continue to be the ones that are even worth paying attention to. And like I said, I did buy HiB VI myself. What I meant by crap bundles, are FaceKick, most IndieGalas, and the like that force stuff like Operation Matriarchy down your throat. Nothing wrong with HiBs though and they continue to be interesting and (usually) filled with interesting games. However, my bundle fatigue has reached a point where I won't sometimes buy even a HiB, if it doesn't have a plethora of interesting games, or one I really want (such as Torchlight in the current HiB). Whereas I used to buy any bundle if it was even remotely interesting.

I hadn't heard of Dustforce before, so I wasn't aware that it's a popular game. From my ignorant point of view, I thought it was a weak incentive to pay more than the average, which would have been a possibility to explain why people paid less for this bundle.

Also, this might not be a factor for other buyers, but as for me, all of the games are too demanding for my shitty graphic card, regardless of how simple they might look, they all require a minimum of Shader support (2.0 or 3.0). Probably not a problem for most gamers nowadays, but it can be for a handful of poor retro gamers. ;) In previous bundles there were enough less demanding games to make the bundle immediately attractive to me, despite my weak rig (Aquaria, VVVVVV, Binding of Isaac, Dungeons of Dredmore, Cave Story, NightSky, Super Meat Boy etc.). And they weren't worse games just because they didn't work with fancy Shaders and such, quite the opposite. :P

And yeah, there also was a lot of competition, as Indie Royale gets more and more popular, GamersGate had this huge Indiefort bundle, then Bundle in a Box, Groupees Build a Bundle etc. and HIB was the last to get live. Besides there were rumors about HIB 6 coming for several months now, building up a lot of expectation but probably also scepticism about whether its release is actually close or not, so it may well have been that people already spent their money elsewhere and then either didn't buy HIB or gave less than usual.

edit-never mind. didn't notice a post that clarified something

I think this is a very good bundle - the only problem is that I already own all of the games.
