I'm a massive fan of Elder Scrolls scrolls games but man Fallout does nothing for me. Boring Environments. Bad character design and poor gun play. VATS is kind of neat but outside that the game feels like trash.
So Dread(an Impact map) overwrote Intercession(a Ravine map) in my local files... I've heard of Reach and Halo 4 overwriting maps on the same base map, but never have I seen it happen with two separate base maps. Luckily I still have Intercession on my File Share or I would have been very irate.
Because the machine burning the "$20 game" could be burning a "$60 game". Therefore, it's really a $40 disc.

The other disc is also a title that has to go through a development and cert pass
And also just MS policy concerning multi disc releases
For me it is the exact opposite, I found Skyrim really boring.
But the sales are amazing, if they keep this up for the nextbox and also include arcade games and do this more often like steam sales then I'm there day one
I'm getting Fallout 3 for $5. I've only heard great things about it from people who've played it. If the game does end up sucking or I don't like it, I won't feel bad because it was $5 and I'll get some extra achievements out of it.
Plus, I'll have nothing to do for the rest of today (minus TWD) and tomorrow. I'd say it was a good deal.

Ebay.
Night time waste land is the tits. I thought that game really nailed it on atmosphere.
Skyrim was awesome until I got tired of "go here, kill him" or whatever quests, needed more variety.

I could never get into Fallout 3 or New Vegas. Poor gunplay and I thought VATS was really boring. Now if they could combine the gameplay of like Red Dead Redemption with the stats and RPG stuff of Fallout that would be really fun

The world isn't as interesting or densely populated with stuff to do as Skyrim, but the the quests are generally much more in depth and give you more options to resolve them. Sometimes with enormous consequences.
VATS can be a fun combat system, and there's some great retro-future art stuff going on. Fallout 4 is going to be amazing on next-gen.
ProTip: Get the Bloody Mess perk asap.

so because MS?
Will do. As soon as I play the game, though. It's at 53%, and I've disconnected from XBL 3 times already.
I've never played Skyrim, either. Another game on my list. Glad I can mark Fallout 3 off.

Got the mantis stomp achievement. So, anyone wanna play harvest like non-stop in CTF or infinity slayer to try for the "now they fly" one?

What yoshis island game are we talking about?
Does anyone ever mean anything other than "Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island" when they say "Yoshi's Island"?

Couldn't get into Fallout 3.
I will openly admit that I put roughly 100 hours into it the first week and a half. Only game I've gotten somewhat addicted to.
Even if you're unsure whether you'll like it, it's only $5. Worth a shot. If you like retro-futurism, I'm sure you'll enjoy that bit, at least.

TC Hawkz or whatever it's called is only 240msp. Worth an impulse buy? Max Payne 3 is only 400 atm too.
Library - all day, every day. I know a lot of people hate it, but it is hands down my favorite campaign level.

Oh, think I'll snag that.
Edit: Uh, according to Major Nelson's blog, it's $15 (1200 space bucks).
Orange Box for $10 is pretty absurd for people that haven't played those games.

Maybe it's 400 in Europeland cuz I just confirmed it there myself.

Damn you!
That's absurd. Arkham Asylum is only $10 now. Might just do it.
Yeah there is no reason NOT to buy this game for $5, hell even at $15 in NA its a great deal.

I liked the game but found it incredibly frustrating
Library is pretty low on my Halo 1 level awesomeness list, but coming from me that's not much of an insult.
I find it funny when people complain about the Library being hard while simultaneously complaining about movement on the level being lethargic and uninteresting. Even on legendary, if you're not experiencing any slightly Doom-ish strafe combat, something has gone terribly wrong.
Cody Miller's unfortunately rusty Halo run at AGDQ 2011 comes to mind. His gunplay was fine, but even after dropping to normal difficulty the Library gave him trouble. Why? Because he forgot how to use the left analog stick and he became boxed in quite frequently.

Yeah, totally ate that shit up.
Is this what it feels like to experience a Steam sale?
Still think its worth it. Also the MP is pretty decent too.
Yup, a lot of people are pretty happy with Microsoft about this. Its brought Might and Magic Elements back from the dead too.

Its great for $10. Id buy that all day every day at that price.
One thing to note.
The combat system is much deeper than it first seems practice a little with it.
$10 is a steal
