Some of you are saying Far Cry over Dying light. Do you think far cry is better? Because I didn't really like it and I'm trying to choose between Dying light and State of Decay. :/
I'd go with State over both fc4 and DL.

It's rougher in the technical area than both of the triple A games but it's far, far more rewarding (imo).
 
Is FC4's gold edition a better buy if you're mainly in it for SP? The season pass content seems a bit overpriced, but I could be wrong.

Hate to ask again, but what's the general opinion on The Handsome Collection? Craving a non-Destiny co-op experience, and my only (not great) experience with BL2 was the Vita version.

I have the Handsome Collection on PS4, and the few hours I've put into it so far have been great (Batman and Witcher have been stealing time away from it). The Vita version was somewhat of a subpar way to experience Borderlands 2. For that price, getting both BL2 and Pre-Sequel and all of the additional content is a very good deal if you're into these kinds of games. There was a screen tearing issue on Pre-Sequel but that has been taken care of (on PS4, and I believe on Xbox One as well though I can't verify that myself), but otherwise the games run really well and look really nice. I think it's worth it!

I'd like to second this. I have BL2 Vita and The Handsome Collection on Xbox One. I have had infinitely more fun on XB1, and you also get all the content, plus the Pre Sequel.

I haven't had a ton of time to put into it, but yeah, THC XB1 is great.
 
So far I've gotten the orange box. I want to get Mass effect 1, 2 and 3 but the option to purchase isn't showing up for me on the Xbox.com store but the option to download the demo is? I really don't want to plug my 360 back in.

Only ME1 is available digitally. The sequels were 2 discs, so they aren't on the store. I hope they get added when they figure out multiple discs for backwards compat.

Thanks! I'll snag it sometime today!

Far cry is the same old same old. Dying Light was fresh.

Trying to decide between State of Decay and something smaller (like Geo Wars) or Diablo 3.

I played a ton of D3 (and UEE) on the 360, but there have been many new additions since then. I have no way to import my save so I would be starting from scratch.

Going to buy ori when I get home. It's gotten so much praise I fear it won't live up to the unrealistically high expectation that have been created.
 
I came here to say I didn't go wrong picking up Borderlands from the sale. Great game and fixed the screen tearing. The 1080p looks amazing as everything pops. If you are looking for something different from a military shooter or Destiny pick it up!

Eh, if I get it I will likely just start over. But I've also been intrigued by SoD so I may give it a try instead.

Last hours to grab Lego Batman but still on the fence because I already have such a backlog. And on the other hand, it's $15.

To those of you who have picked it up, thoughts?

I traded my disk version in on LB3 at Best Buy for 9.90 with GC bonus and turned around and purchased the digital version with the season pass bundle for sub 14.00. It's a pretty good game imo.

If you've got young people at home to co op together, or enjoy the games generally, it's very much worth it. I got the season pass version, has lots of extra content.

I'm really tempted to buy this. I need something for the summer now that I finished batman.

If you can deal with some inconsistent framerate (not tremendously terrible, really) and some general jankiness, it is well worth your time. Best single player zombie game on console and PC, IMO.

Finally picked it up when I saw it was $20 and glad I did. I was scared because I read the framerates were horrible but so far I played the crap out of it this weekend and it's overall smooth, just some parts during driving got a tad choppy. Already own the original on PC but wanted to play it on the big screen and so glad I got it, it's mad fun.

Is there anywhere to check your current download progress that are downloading if your xbox is on, in the smartglass app or website for example, ala the way you could for PS3 through their website? It would have progress bar for each download with the percent done.

My xbox does be downloading at home while im away and would like to see the progress on the games.

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
So I just bought $45 in Microsoft cards today, can I really not use this to buy games on the website?

yeah you can't. I know it sucks. wtf Microsoft. Why would they not let us use our money.

And I remember purchasing Titanfall through Xbox.com with my credit when it was launched. So its definitely was a thing last year.
 
It's exceptionally annoying that I cannot buy X360 games with the credit on my account. I have £30 just sitting there and no way to use it.
