is it good? only played the 1st one, never got around to playing the others.


Dont, Google tells me that frame rate sucks still
Yeah, I thought I remember the Just Cause 3 getting worse from reading posts on GAF. I was never a fan of Just Cause games anyways.
Dead Rising 4 is pretty fun, it does still sort of feel like Dead Rising, but a different Dead Rising if that makes sense. It cheesy and silly, but no psychopaths is a real bummer (I'm real sore on no timer too, but some people might like that). According to Xbox, I played it about 60 hours in the first week I had it, and I had fun, but it does feel like paint the numbers openish-world zombie game at times. (I like NuFrank more than classic Frank)
I'd gladly take ReCore with 20€ if it was physical, no sure about that price when it's digital.
it is 20 physical

Sameish price (19.61) and Prime eligible on Amazon too. Microsoft store usually has decent fast and free shipping though...

Started playing Firewatch yesterday, really liking it so far.
Hope Witcher season pass gets a discount, but otherwise I don't really have any other wishes I can think of.
So I'll impulse buy instead. ~( ̄▽ ̄~)
 
I remember waiting for a Horizon 2 sale. I was even ready to pay a bit more than retail prices to have it digital and to support the devs more. Eventually my patience ran low and I bought it for dirt cheap used.

Sales on consoles are bad.
They're not bad. There are just some specific games that MS doesnt discount often digitally.

So has the frame rate or loading times for Just Cause 3 been patched? I'm interested in it for dumb fun but those seem like frustrating problems that even I would get annoyed with and I'm not a particularly technical person.

Last I played, the loading times were still dreadful. That was in summer sometime

Does D4 go on sale often? I've had my eye on that one for a while. It's on sale on Steam right now, but I'd rather play it on Xbox.

Would something like Blizzard Mountain DLC for Forza Horizon go on sale perhaps? Or is it too new for it to be included in the sales period? Just got some Points Cards for X-Mas, but want to stretch out the funds as much as I can...so hoping for a sale.

No way Blizzard Mountain goes on sale. Keep your hopes chained.

Not really. Like slot of those older Xbox one exclusives( zoo tycoon, screameide, D4 etc don't really go on sale)

I just want a good sale on Forza Horizon 2. I loved the original and the third is my GotY, but I need the feel the gap left by the second game!

I have $20 in my account, how do I buy blue dragon? It keeps wanting to use my CC/paypal when I try to checkout :(

You have to buy 360 games with a credit card! Crazy you can not use your Xbox balance I have no idea why this is the way they do it!

Only way to buy 360 games with account credit is on an actual Xbox 360. When they changed from MS Points to dollars and merged the MS account wallets they never bothered rebuild the buy with credit option on the Xbox 360 web store, which is what BC purchases on Xbox One pass through (they basically implemented it all through glorified iframes).

Speaking of which, how long will this deal be up for?

Superhot isn't part of the Countdown Sale, it's a deals with gold thing. I'm guessing it'll be good until Monday evening/Tuesday morning.

That's just a guess though. Sucks it doesn't have the time remaining on the product page...
 
Considering grabbing the Inside/Limbo bundle, but I already played and beat Limbo on 360 and feel like I'd be wasting my money. Is there any extra content on the Xbox One version? Or should I just wait for Inside to go on sale by itself?

Kinda doubt Inside will go on sale by itself any time soon, so I say it's worth getting the bundle now if you don't want to wait.
 
Can anyone that has Battlefield 1 tell me what exactly you get with the Deluxe Edition? It comes with the Hellfighters Pack, Red Baron Pack, Lawrence of Arabia Pack, and 5 battlepacks. What exactly are in these packs? Are these just skins? Weapons and vehicles that aren't available otherwise? Maps?

I'm considering buying it, but to be honest this is the first time the existence of DLC is making me consider not even getting the game. It's the combination of just how fucking much they charge for the Premium Pass ($50), and the fact that it's maps (thus will split the community). The pass isn't really on much of a sale either. I bought Premium for BF4 and it was a shitshow of not being able to find games on the DLC, so I mostly avoided the maps I paid $50 for.

Is that Dishonored Definitive version worth the cost? I remember trying the game and being awful at the stealth stuff but seemed fun enough. Does it work well?

Dishonored is a really great game.

I think the stealth stuff was also very good, but the thing is, you don´t have to use stealth if you don´t want to.

Watch a couple of reviews and then decide :)

75% sold right there! :D

I love using stealth, but in games like Watch_Dogs or Deus Ex I like having the option to go all out with blazing guns. :p

Welcome beautful toddler, Madison Elizabeth, to the horde!
I'd love to see State of Decay go up for sale. I have over $100 to blow but I want to maximize it of course. Got some Gamestop gift cards and it's cheaper to just get the disc version for FF15 and Dishonored 2 so I'm getting them later on today.

Really hoping for some better sales when the prices trickle in tomorrow afternoon. Siege (ideally an edition with the season pass or both season passes) and Bully are what I'm holding out for.

Psn sale is pretty great this year, they need to up their game with the second week of sales.

Will there be an overlap between the two weekly sales? I want to buy Hitman, but I'd like to wait and see what offers there will be next

Everything you asked is skins for weapons and vehicles. Battlepacks also contain random skins for the weapons that are available in the game.

The 1st map was also free to everyone, but it was under early access, if you had the pre-order bonus which is the Hellfighter pack. All other maps, weapons and etc. will most likely only be available with the Premium Pass or with buying the DLC seperately.

Wouldn't really bother with that edition, unless Premium Pass is included.
 
I was very excited about this sale but it has been terrible so far. Worst part is that the exchange rate is shit in my country. Steam games are like 40% cheaper or more in some cases.

Arkham Knight Complete on Steam is actually a quarter of the price I get on Xbox.

Thanks for the info. The marketing is ambiguous enough that it sounds like they're actual weapons and not just skins, which I'm sure is intentional. The first paid DLC is at least 2 months away, so I'm just gonna go with the base game for now.

I bought Inside a month or so ago for $13 so there's a chance it'll go on sale.
