Should I get the two Wolfenstein games or the two Metro games?

I'd say they are both equally enjoyable. Can't go wrong with either.
Wolfenstein.

Is Infinite Warfare worth it at $38? Mainly asking for the campaign.
Only top. Of that they are adding that marketplace for pocket versions soon... Will allow mods and whatnot

Wolfenstein for sure.

IMO no. I know a lot of people liked it but I wasn't that impressed.

Amazon is selling it brand new on disc for just $23 right now. Even Cheaper used.
Edit: I don't know if it needs to be said, but if you buy used from Amazon, never buy from someone who's account says "Just Launched". It is almost always a scam.

Rebuying Fable 2. Lost my old copy years ago and I've been really wanting to play it recently.
Might buy some other games. Depends on what's on sale. I'll look at the full list when I have more time.

Wolfenstein: TNO, which I think is the better of the two Wolfenstein games, and the Metro redux bundle.

Bit of a weird question/situation...
I have Diablo 3 for PS4 but it basically became ruined when I unknowingly joined a game with hackers and suddenly my paragon level is like 2,000. The game is ruined for me now because I don't feel like I have anything to work towards. So it's really shitty that that can happen without me even doing anything.
So two questions:

So two questions:
- How does the XBone version compare to the PS4 version? I assume they run pretty much the same.
- Can this same paragon hacking thing happen on XBone as easily as it did on PS4?

Looks like I'll pick it up. Is the DLC worth it? Thanks for the replies!

My sister got me a gif card recently to get a new game. I was hoping The Inside and Limbo would be included but they weren't. Bought em anyway. Really enjoying Inside so far.
I actually just finished this game a couple of days ago. I had a blast.
I've played on both versions and there really isn't much difference between the two, at least that I noticed. I haven't seen any kind of cheating but that's anecdotal i know.

I would add that Diablo 3 now has seasons on Xbox One / PS4. As these are online-only modes, there aren't any hacked weapons there. Regular online is still a mess.
I WANT to think I want to buy Astroneer.
I downloaded the early access several months ago and have tried to start it twice but I have no idea what I'm doing and there is no tutorial.
I just keep digging myself into big holes in the ground, can't get out and then run out of air.

They did the same with NBA 2k17. Was $30 now $38.99. This happens way too often to be a mistake. I was just about to bite at $30 but not now.

Got ReCore and now I'm​ willing to spend on one of these:
- Shadow Warrior
- Wolfenstein The New Order
- Wolfenstein The New Blood
- Ori and The Blind Forest (this game reminds me Ubisoft's Outland. Makes sense? For the good or for the bad?)
Help me Gaf!

Ori. Game is absolutely perfect. I never replay games any more, but have beaten it 4x.

Ori and the Blind Forest, for sure.

Picked up Witcher 3 Complete, played it almost to the end on PC but wanna try it on Scorpio when that comes out. Maybe get near the end so I can try the expansions!
Alpha Phoenix

I'm also planning to replay it on Scorpio when the time comes. I hope the difference will be noticeable with or without patching.

Got it. Thanks!
Ori. Haven't played Outland but Ori is fantastic. You also get the regular edition with it, so you can double down on GS if that's your thing.

Have a look around your starting area, there should be resin and compound. That's all you need to get started on your base, figuring out the rest is the fun of the game.
Everyone buy Astroneer.
Ori is amazing.
Play Recore on PC if you have a half decent rig, loading times were pretty annoying on Xbox last time I played it.

Metro is cool, but only for LT $10. I got them both and finished the first one. Still have to play Last Light.

I think the BC games need credit card info, because they're still sold via the 360 storefront.
It's really annoying because it's stopping me from buying Catherine which is the only thing I'm interested in in this sale.

One campaign is awesome, I only played the campaign and ignored the multiplayer. It is one of the COD campaigns that made me really care about the characters.

Absolutely. It's got the same sort of style and has a really fun puzzle game element.
Thanks. I was hoping they'd have fixed it in the last couple of months.

For Gears Ultimate PC (Windows 10), this matches the cheapest it has been. It was $15 over Christmas and I missed it then. Not this time; first thing I picked up.
For Gears 4 Ultimate PC and being DIGITAL, I believe this is the first time it has been on sale. PHYSICAL XB1 has been as low as $20 over the holidays, but PHYSICAL XB1 is NOT Play Anywhere.
Nah, still part of the FAQ:
https://majornelson.com/blog/xbox-one-backward-compatibility/
If you can get to a 360 to sign in and buy, you can use your credit. Otherwise, nope.
Depends; if you want a solid FPS with little management other than ammo and health and harkens back to the "glory days", go for Wolfenstein.
If you want a little more management to your FPS, such as using bullets for money and watching your gas mask filter, with a dash of a more seriousness to it, then Metro.
Both stories are actually pretty good, with Wolfenstein having a story better than expected given the nature of its lead character, and The Old Blood is a fun WWII supernatural romp.
Metro is based on the series of post-apocalyptic books (Metro 2033, Metro 2034, Metro 2035).

So far I got the Witcher Complete Edition/Witcher 2. Thinking about SoD: YOE...what you guys think? How is it on XB1?

another Witcher 3 question... i have 2 on the 360 but did not finish it. is it a must to know what's going on?
also, how does it perform on Xbox One? (I also have a PS4) is it worth grabbing for future Scorpio playing?
i will definitely give it a whirl now though

Nah it's not totally necessary. There are a lot of recurring characters, but I didn't play the Witcher 2 until after I finished the Witcher 3 and I managed just fine. The best part of the game is the writing (and voice acting) in the excellent side stories and DLC.
It's prettier, less buggy but still janky. Highly addictive, though...

Was really hoping Forza Horizon 3 would be $30 but bit the bullet and bought it anyway yesterday. Glad I did, really like it after just 1/2 hr!

I was really hoping for Stardew Valley or Hyper Light Drifter now that I have money on my account. Maybe the next big sale.

It's not necessary. But, if you already have Witcher 2, I would play it before you start Witcher 3. It performs well on Xbox One, and graphically it still holds up really well. Definitely play it.
How is BO2 these days. I'm interested in getting back to some old school COD mainly for Team deathmatch. So I checked out some twitch streams and like 80% of them were just "watch me and my sniper skills" and they were just doing nothing but quick scoping. Is that like super prevalent?
