No. I don't even think 1.2.4 is out yet. Probably looking at 2016 if it happens.

Picked up Geo wars and Goat simulator.
Hoping for more deals through the week. Sales are the only time I really ever buy games

The game is worth it at full price. The time varies on how you play. I clocked about 20 hours on the regular story.
Dang, Well I haven't played it yet so it might be worth getting.

Hmm nothing really jumping out at me at the moment saying I have to have it, sad too cause I really only buy stuff when its on sale.
Will wait and see hopefully something better on 360.

I have another question, separate from my Korra one a few posts back - which games on this list offer enough legs to justify being owned digitally over physically? MCC is a good example - the four main games in one of my favorite series (though I already own MCC). Since space fills up SO quickly on these damn current gen machines, I'm trying to plan my digital purchases accordingly and only go digital with titles I know I'll be coming back to again and again (Rare Replay is another good example of something upcoming that I'm going digital on).
I know personal taste will factor in quite a bit here, and a lot of the titles I'm interested here are single-player focused, but I figured I'd ask anyway

Just remember that even if you have the game on disc, it still has to install the whole damn game to the hard drive anyway. Owning stuff on disc is helpful if you don't want to have to download 60GB of stuff every time you want to re-install a game, but I prefer the convenience of not having to swap discs. I also don't tend to sell my used games, so another digital win for me.

The discount for owning it on 360 expired a while ago. The discount you're seeing now is the sale price. It's the same amount if I recall correctly.

It was worth the full retail price I paid for it on day one. So much fun.
Are you sure? I have Arkham Knight on disc, and when I first tried booting it up I had to download the day 1 patch, but it was only ~3.5 gigs (and there's no way that was the size of the full game). Still took way longer than I would have liked before I could play it though, ha.

I just recently picked up an Xbox One after being a PS4 exclusive guy for a year or so, and this is the way it works on PS4. I think it works the same way on the One, because Dead Rising 3 had to do a full install even though I own that on disc. Sunset Overdrive was the same way, chewing up 30+GB of storage even though I have the disc. I thought both consoles did it this way because seek times on Blu-Ray discs are abysmal.
Yeah, Assassin's Creed China Chronicles is a fun little game. I've also enjoyed what I played of White Night.

Dang, Lego Batman 3 deluxe for 18.75 in Canada? Instant buy. Thanks for the heads up.

Where are the prices?
You can grab it off ebay or a gaffer who bought rhe bundle for 20-25
E: i wish x1 had a similar setup like steam, buy the disc,
Install it, put the cd key in, you now have a physical and digital copy. The disc is useless after you use the key.
I found them all right here.

I've been waiting for this too. Game of Thrones and Borderlands Telltale games are on sale and they're not finished either, so hopefully Life is Strange gets a sale soon.
Might as well just wait for the new edition at this point.

Thanks!
It was on sale 2 weeks ago when they announced the $40 rip off dlc. So i doubt it

There's some stuff I want but I don't know if I want it to actually play or just because it's cheap. I was hoping for a deal on DMC4 or Forza (5 or Horizon 2 for 20 bucks I'd bite) but I never played the expansion part of Diablo 3, was kinda so so on Dragon Age, mostly because my character's voice got changed to the worst accent, but for 30 bucks I'd probably pick it up again. Maybe Lego Batman, but I feel like that'd just be because it's a great deal. Has there been any word on daily deals?
Is the gold version worth the extra $12? I'm thinking about just taking the regular one for $24.

I picked up the GoT bundle.

I went with the $24 version because the DLC released so far didn't look interesting or worth the expense. I have no interest in Far Cry PVP.
I haven't played it personally, but I hear that the DLC is truly a mixed bag. The one actual narrative portion, the Yeti stuff, isn't supposed to be that great, and everything else seems like mission packs or multiplayer stuff, if my memory serves.
Definitely get the base game, though. It is dope. as. fuck.

I liked it...but the only other 2.5D side scroller I have played is Arkham Blackgate, which was complete dogshit...so I dont really have anything good to compare it to.
I have heard a lot of people say it is almost an exact copy of Mark of the Ninja, with a little less in it

As far as i've read, it's 60 fps with dips in single player and two player split, down to 30 fps in 3/4 player split. I've only played it in 3 player split, but it seemed much smoother than the 360 version but probably not much higher than 30. Screen tearing can be fairly evident at times.
Didn't they say these are the best prices this year? Thinking of purchasing State of Decay and Ori.
