Support NeoGAF

[zoodoo]

got:

Insanely twisted shadow planet
Orange box
Portal 2
Call of Juarez

good deal!!

 

[splattered]

Man why is BO2 season pass so expensive... what the crap

 

[EBreda]

Finally got R Type as well.

How's the other Ghostbusters game, Slime something? Worthy for 1.24?

Edit:

I really like Ghostbusters: Sanctum of Slime. I just about completed the game with my 5-year-old son on Steam, couldn't pass getting this on the Xbox for that price.

It's an overhead twin-stick shooter. There is repetition with both enemies and level design but it delivers. Makes for a fun co-op experience. You can try the demo or watch a gameplay video if you are still hesitant.

Thhank you. I should grab it then! My 3yo will probably like to try it on coop as well.

 

[MulderYuffie]

I don't own an xbox. I have $20 in my account.

Apparently you can't buy xbox gift cards from the store using credit, and I cant buy Blue Dragon from xbox.com. How the fuck do I actually buy anything?

too bad so sad gotta buy them on the 360 store.

[Daigoro]

no daily deals yet right?

we expecting a weekend sale or something instead?

 

[rezn0r]

Dangerous sale, I don't even know how much I just spent. A bunch were just to put away discs and have digital if I ever get back to them. Pumped about Ikaruga though, forgot all about that (and the NeoGeo fighting games)

 

[babyshaq90]

Got Ghostbusters and Geometry Wars Retro Evolved. Really thinking of cashing in more of my bing points but not that many games attract my attention enough to buy.

 

[VanCityGamer]

This does feel a bit to me like one final, big BC sale before Xbox Game Pass releases. Makes it really hard for me to decide what to buy.

 

[Fox Mulder]

Goddamn this week. I'm never going to catch up on my backlog.

Prey earlier in the week.
Space Giraffe
Centipede & Millipede
Plants vs Zombies GW2
and then free Lego Star Wars
Lara Croft 2
Phantom Dust

And I'm eyeing Ikaruga.

Shovel Knight also finally got the update too.

Crazy week for the backlog. I've got 92 BC games after buying like 10 things so far in this sale.

This does feel a bit to me like one final, big BC sale before Xbox Game Pass releases. Makes it really hard for me to decide what to buy.

I still wonder if they'll add BC to the PC.

 

[Correctomundo]

Shovel Knight also finally got the update too.

I saw that. Shovel Knight is still in the existing backlog.

What have I done?

 

[Conrad Link]

I had a huge to buy list but after playing some demos and also whittling it down based on how many games I already have in the backlog I ended up with just 2 lol.

- Half-Minute Hero
- Ikaruga

The prices are ridiculously good on some of this stuff, but I just don't really need them. Very happy with the 2 I ended up with all the same. My GameCube copy of Ikaruga is packed away safely so I'm glad I can play it again now and Half-Minute Hero is great.

 

[DeaDPo0L84]

I know New Vegas is a great but coming off FO4 gameplay wise does it still hold up for $5?

 

[VanCityGamer]

I know it's a lot to ask, but I really wish the Xbox 360 game demos were available on Xbox One so I could try a lot of these games first.

 

[Haines]

That list is damn near paralyzing and I have a huge backlog.

I'll have to take a serious look at anything cheap as dirt tho.

 

[Conrad Link]

Was gonna get R-Type as well but it just felt so slow to play, maybe I just wasn't in the mood while trying the demo but it put me off a bit.

 

[cantona222]

Ironically these are few of the most expensive games in the list -_-:

Cabela's Alaskan Adventures $9.99 (Drop 50%)
Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 2013 $14.99 (Drop 50%)
Cabela's Hunting Expeditions $14.99 (50% drop)

 

[oatmeal]

Grabbed Oblivion and GTAIV.

Nice to have GTA again - My Steam copy is so unreliable.

 

[statham]

my buy list.

Alice
aeknoid
castanvania
dominomaster
ghostbusters & live game
shadows of the damned
soltrio
torchlight
orangebox
trine 2
toy story 3
12 games, not bad.

 

[nekkid]

So do I buy the Orange Box again...

 

[DJ_Lae]

Damn, I'll have to hook the 360 back up - I bought myself a discounted Xbox card from Costco for this sale and then remembered that you can't purchase 360 games on the One or the Microsoft site with your MS account balance.

Still so goddamn stupid.

 

[VanCityGamer]

Hmmm Mirror's Edge was only showing as $1.63 on the Xbox One store so that seems like a no-brainer since I never played that game.

How are Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2?

I'm leaning toward buying The Orange Box and Fable 2 since I never played those games.

Noticed this a moment ago. How can this still be a thing? Good for us, that we still own a 360. As a bone only owner I would be pissed right now. Also, it is not possible to put more than one game in the basket???

 

[-Stranger-]

Ended up buying

Bully
Ikaruga
Beyond Good and Evil HD
Trials HD
Alan Wake American Nightmare
Bioshock Infinite Season Pass

 

[shiptoncraig]

I don't own an xbox. I have $20 in my account.

It seems that the only way to buy them with account credit is on an actual 360.

 

[CuckFupertino]

How is Double Dragon Neon?

 

[Cfer]

Ikaruga
Bully
Garou
KOF 2002
Dragons Lair
Skillgirls

And I will probably get E4, killer is dead and more tonight. Between this and Phantom Dust being free, and the GWG games, am screwed for time this month..!!!!

 

[bratpack]

no silent hill downpour???

 

[munroe]

Sorry if it's been already mentioned, those in the UK wanting Catherine, it has been reduced now to £3.74

 

[World SkiFree]

How is Double Dragon Neon?

Good fun. Art style and general silliness have been turnoffs for some but I have enjoyed it. May be better in co-op.

 

[horkrux]

Got Alice. I don't think I need anything else

 

[Spayro]

I'm pretty fucking bummed I can't get the one game I'm really interested in - Shadows of the Damned. Wish it was available in my region digitally

Spoiler

or even physically ffs

 

[dorikyasu]

So far I've picked up:

Ghostbusters
Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara
Garou
Samurai Shodown II
NeoGeo Battle Coliseum

Still got few more I'm considering to get. Great sale, MS!
The only concern is that many games of this sale may become GwG title at sometime in the future. But at these prices, can't really complain.

 

[psychotron]

Blows that you can't buy Mass Effect 2 or 3.

 

[Captain_Wreckus]

Blows that you can't buy Mass Effect 2 or 3.

Think you can. But I think you need to buy from the marketplace on your xbox one. Not from the website (but I may be mistaken on that).

 

[nuttyevans]

And i bought Orange Box for £15 just a few weeks ago. Haven't even played it yet lol.

 

[purseowner]

Haul so far:

The Orange Box
Portal 2
Sam & Max 1&2
The Maw
Bomberman

Pondering double dipping on Deathspank and De Blob too...

 

[Roitorb]

Can you not? That's stupid

 

[jizzlobber]

Damn, portal games are not on sale in Australia, wanted portal 2.
End up grabbing metal slug xx instead.
Lots of tempting games, I probably should get viva pinata tip too

 

[deadfolk]

Do we know when this sale ends?

 

[Captain_Wreckus]

Do we know when this sale ends?

Think up to May 22, 2017.

 

[deadfolk]

Think up to May 22, 2017.

Thanks!

 

[jrmanimal]

Nice sale!

Got GTA IV, Rayman 3 HD, Alice: Madness Returns and Toy Story 3.

I have enough for a while now.

 

[Lom1lo]

Think you can. But I think you need to buy from the marketplace on your xbox one. Not from the website (but I may be mistaken on that).

Only via EA Access

 

[Branniganz Love]

I already have quite a few of these games, but sheesh... time to stock up.

3D Ultra Minigolf Adventures
Battleblock Theater
Bioshock
Blue Dragon
Doom
Doom II
Fable II
Fable III
Gta IV
Left 4 Dead 2
Oblivion
Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution
The Orange Box
Wolfenstein 3D

 

[BocoDragon]

This is a great "clean up on odds n ends" sale as the 360 fades into the past. I'm grateful for BC keeping these games relevant enough for a big sale, whether I play them on the One or not.

Grabbed the Bioshock Infinite Season Pass. Time to finally see how those Rapture episodes play out.

Also noticed a couple of random shmups I didn't own yet... Strania and Triggerheart Excelica. I was big into the 360's unique shmup scene half a decade ago, and I think this completes my collection of a couple of the ones I let fall by the wayside. I remember the Strania demo being surprisingly Radiant Silvergun-like.

 

[Jazzem]

Folks here generally keen on Jetpac Refueled? I'm tempted to grab that, bizarrely I have nostalgia for the original through its inclusion in Donkey Kong 64.

Speaking of Rare, I'm so glad Banjo Tooie finally went on sale Haven't properly revisited it in years, cautiously keen to see how it holds up.

For the $5 you're gonna spend on both it might be better to just get Rare Replay when it goes on sale. It's been as low as $10 and you get a ton more games.

Pretty much.

Alas, I don't have an Xbox One. I still have a 360 plugged in for a few XBLA games (it did get much Treasure support after all :3)
