Bully or Rayman Origins? Both are $10, I love Rockstar/Platformer games equally

Rayman Origins is one of the best 2D platformers in years, a steal at 10 bucks.

This. It would be worth it just for the music.

 

[Clay Davis]

Ahhh

and it will be 1400 points or thereabouts.

 

[Dance Inferno]

So it looks like everything is 50% off? That would mean:

Mark of the Ninja - $7.5
Deadlight - $7.5
Borderlands 2 Season Pass - $15
The Walking Dead - $10 (since first episode is free)

Total: $40

Not bad. I wonder if there's anything else worth getting.

 

[Leflus]

My haul so far:
Zuma's Revenge
Candy DLC for A World of Keflings
Lego Star Wars TCS
Lego Star Wars III
Lego Harry Potter
Bully: Scholarship Edition
Rock Band 3

Going to buy:
Mark of the Ninja
Trials Evolution: Origin of Pain
The Walking Dead episodes 1-5
Skyrim DLC (if it's 50% off)

Maybe:
Some of the other GoD games if the discounts are good

Yikes.

 

[Duallusion]

Very nice. VG+ and Playasia list the retail release as region-free.

Ah, so that's why. Download is slow as hell, though. It seems it'll take at least three hours:/

Did it ever get online co-op? Because it may be a deal breaker for me

 

[Cheddahz]

I haven't played Bully since it first came out, is it worth it to go back and play it in HD?

 

[Clay Davis]

I haven't played Bully since it first came out, is it worth it to go back and play it in HD?

I think so. I caved and bought it last night along with jet set radio. I haven't played it yet though. I worry that the controls might take some getting used to, no doubt there's some old rockstar awkwardness to them.

 

[Korosenai]

Only interested in bully, dust, walking dead, and skyrim dlc.

 

[Clay Davis]

Only interested in bully, dust, walking dead, and skyrim dlc.

the only skyrim dlc I'm interested (dragonborn) in isn't in the sale, which is somewhat annoying.

 

[C-Drive]

Picked up Fire Pro Wrestling and Rock Band 3. Gonna have to drag the plastic guitars from the closet I guess.

 

[Surface of Me]

Probably gonna pick up:

Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts
Mark of the Ninja
The Walking Dead
Sonic Adventure 2

Also, which is better, Lego Star Wars III or The Complete Saga?

 

[Megatron]

I like that we get. The first episode of walking dead free a few days before the sale on the rest. Gives me time to play it and decide.

 

[Seanspeed]

In what way? I was under the impression Evo's just more levels of Trials HD?

For one, Trials HD took place entirely in a warehouse-like setting. Evolution has lots and lots of different environments. This is probably the most notable difference and one that makes a huge difference as each track feels unique.

Evolution has license tests that explain to you how to do certain techniques to help ease the difficulty curve.

In Trials HD, every track went strictly from left to right along a straight line. Evolution allows for veering off in different directions to give it a more 3D feel.

Evolution introduces multiplayer racing.

And finally, the level editor is leaps and bounds better than Trial HD's. You are given free reign of a big 3D map and you can basically mess with it in endless ways. There's lots of user-created content thats not even bike racing. The stuff people have come up with is pretty insane.

All in all, the core gameplay is pretty much the same, but everything else is worlds better. There's really no point in buying Trials HD, honestly.

 

[PixyJunket]

So it looks like everything is 50% off?

Nope, there is at least one 25% off game running right now and the sale page says "Up to 75% Off," although yes, 50% is probably going to be by and far the most common.

 

[Infinite Justice]

So mark of the ninja, dust and trials evo if possible

 

[Tunavi]

Trials Evolution has a TON of content

 

[GANGSTERKILLER]

Trine 2 is 75% discounted. Only 400 MS Points!

Mark of the Ninja is 50% discounted. Only 600 MS Points!

I've downloaded them both. Great deals!

Your links is unborked.

Hehe..

 

[Card Boy]

Just Mark of the Ninja from the platformers sale for me. Would of picked up Rayman Orgins except its a rip off over here at 40bucks.

I don't think Origins has changed worldwide yet. It's still full price in UK, as well.

 

[PixyJunket]

ALL of tomorrows stuff is now up:

Sweet, thanks.

There goes 1600 Bing points, easy come, easy go.

 

[Card Boy]

I think thats the Aussie sale list unless im wrong. I thought the regular price was like 80bucks.

 

[Infinite Justice]

• Mark of the Ninja (1200 > 600MSP)

 

[Cheesecakebobby]

Trine 2 will surely be a similar price on steam, which is the version to go for if I have comfy couch mode for pc?

 

[CB3]

Is Rayman 3 or Hell Yeah worth those prices? Already went in on Sonic, Trine 2, and Mark of the Ninja.

 

[PixyJunket]

I would put my points towards Hell Yeah of those two.

The demo for it was great, I just needed a sale or to run out of an XBLA backlog, and the sale came first.

 

[Mrbob]

Trine 2 will surely be a similar price on steam, which is the version to go for if I have comfy couch mode for pc?

You can get the expansion on PC. Pretty sure it is 360 controller compatible too. I played with a keyboard and mouse. Didn't check.

 

[Socreges]

So for someone that's never played Trials before, should I go with HD or Evo?

 

[Cheddahz]

Just went and bought Bully and Fez, now I'm one broke dude (MS points wise)

 

[Macho Madness]

So for someone that's never played Trials before, should I go with HD or Evo?

Evo seems to be better.

 

[therealminime]

Mark of the Ninja got. Is Fez worth getting? And are any of those LEGO games worth playing?

 

[Uno Venova]

Mark is bought.

 

[Sleeplessnights]

So for someone that's never played Trials before, should I go with HD or Evo?

Evo.

 

[Undead Bokun]

Did it ever get online co-op? Because it may be a deal breaker for me

Last I checked Rayman Origins was local multiplayer only. I haven't heard anything about online co-op ever being added sadly. Been a month or so since I booted it though so maybe someone else will have more info.

 

[Vire]

Mark Of The Ninja or Rayman Origins?

Choices! Help GAF...

Got 900 MS points.

 

[AngmarsKing701]

Bought Trine 2. Was waiting for a sale. My wife thinks this is one she'll play with me, so very happy to see it slashed to 400 pts.

 

[PixyJunket]

Mark Of The Ninja or Rayman Origins?

Get Mark of the Ninja now, Rayman can probably be found for cheap on disc later.

 

[Vire]

Yeah I was leaning towards Mark Of The Ninja because I've been hankering for a good stealth game and I just played Rayman Jungle Run on iOS (which is great!).

 

[PixyJunket]

Definitely get Origins later on! I just think the odds are that Origins will be easier to get cheap later on than waiting for another Mark of the Ninja XBLA sale.

 

[OldJadedGamer]

Picked up Joe Danger 2 for $5.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

Get Mark of the Ninja now, Rayman can probably be found for cheap on disc later.

You really think it's going to drop lower than $10? That sounds like wishful thinking.

 

[Vire]

Did Fez ever get patched properly or did they give up because of the extra cost?

Shame if it was never fixed...

 

[jbug617]

the patch is good for people who are playing a new game.

 

[Vire]

Ah that's good to hear at least.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

Ah that's good to hear at least.

It's always been like that though.
