Xbox Ultimate Game Sale (Begins July 7th)
- Thread starter jbug617
- Start date
yeah :/
2016 huh? That makes me sad :\. Guess I'll wait it out.
Was hoping it would be sooner than later as a means of moving some of us from Win8.1 to 10.

This guy. This guy gets it!!
QFT. If you don't already own Ori and you don't buy it at this price point, you should just throw your Xbox One in the garbage right now.
I TRIED to tell folks this.
It's not hype. It's factual information. Got-tier game.
Play Ori first.
Also, Ori has to be one of the most beautifully made games out there on the market. I'm not gonna rush this one
Savor it like the modern classic that it is. Good man!
Shame on you for waiting for a sale.
Don't care for the price?! It's probably the best $$ you'll ever have spent on gaming.
Getting Ori at a discount off makes this entire sale worthwhile.
Yes, issues are largely resolved. Do yourself a favor and put the backlog back on backlog status and bump Ori to the front of the line.
I just bought ori last night for 20 bucks
Are you kidding me right now. Could I email their support our something when it goes up and get a discount?
Worst case scenario you don't get the partial refund and you're out $20 for a game that is easily worth far more than $20.
Personally I'm glad I didn't wait months to save a few bucks and miss out on playing it sooner, but glad you're finally joining the fold.
Put it at the top of that list.
The price is wrong. Because any discounted price is wrong considering the game should've cost at least double what it did at launch based on quality. But I hope you pick it up regardless.
You will be Ori's. It will own you.
I think I may finally take the jump and grab Ori with a discount
Do it. DO it. DO EEEEEEEEET!

Hey, I was considering Ori. Would you recommend it by any chance?

Bought Ori and after tonight's play session I feel bad waiting for a price drop for this beautiful game. Games on this level dont come out often.

I tried so hard to hammer this home to people.
We've all become a bit jaded as gamers. I too am guilty of waiting for a sale for games that seem promising, because 'what if it isn't that good'. I'm so glad I didn't do that with Ori.
It sucks in a way that there is so much shovelware out there, so much noise,. because when something like Ori comes along that truly deserves our money, gamers are reluctant to plunk it down. Even when it's only $20 (because apparently everyone has this $10-15 price point for digital new releases).

If only there was some way that people could try a game before buying it though. That would be neat.

I think so yeah. These are the only deals.
Or if it had a refund policy like steam.

Yeah they really, REALLY need to bring back demos for all games.
That's super dissapointing. I expected some more X360 deals (Crackdown maybe) and Xbone deals for Forza 5.

Picked up the Destiny expansion for $26. I haven't played in over 4 months so everything feels fresh.

Is Ori worth it?
lol but I agree, fantastic game
Agreed.... They've had daily and weekend deals for every ultimate sale so far, what changed this time? I can maybe understand XB1 since the library isn't that massive but there's tonnes of games that could have went on sale for 360.
Ah well. Batman, Far Cry and Mass Effect for me I think. Not a bad sale, much better than the last XB1 ultimate sale which turned out to be a disaster. Unless you were lucky to snag LOTF at $9

Looks like I'm buying everything but Ori.
I will wait till this is crossbuy (PC & XBONE) off of the Win 10 store.

Once I realized that I could port my Borderlands 2 save, I decided to jump on the Handsome Jack Collection. Never finished BL2, so it's nice jumping back into that. Just the type of game I've been wanting to play over summer.
The Forza games were on sale for for 50% off just a few weeks ago. Not surprised they didn't go back on sale so quickly after that.

I don't want to blow a ton of money when my backlog is already kinda big (I rarely have a backlog, lol) so I think I'm just gonna pick up Geometry Wars 3 and Titanfall. I already have Ori, and I'd like to get the Borderlands Collection, but it's still too expensive imo.

Picked up Ori from the U.S. store which worked out just just under £10 here in the UK. Not bad
I'm still trying to get through Witcher 3, State of Decay YOSE and Halo MCC, plus I started up another Mass Effect run a couple weeks ago when backwards compatibility became a thing. I'm definitely getting Ori eventually, but while I have a bunch of other games I'm playing I'll wait and see if I can get a better deal.

Ori is awesome. If I hadn't already purchased it on day 1, I would pick it up during this sale.
Just finished Witcher 3 and think it's maybe time for a new game. Thinking a Telltale game would be a good palette cleanser after Witcher, which one would you guys recommend? Borderlands or Game of Thrones?
Leaning towards Borderlands right now based really on only hearing some positive impressions here and there.

Awww yisss Titanfall. Send an invite anytime you want to play.

Nothing! I said nothing!
How is Fable Anniversary, does it hold up well? I am thinking about buying the trilogy to play on XB1 when it becomes available. I already own 3 and I completed that and 2 but would probably play 2 again.
Yes if you liked the original. I personally prefer GW2 but this version does include a lot of modes, which also includes classic. Although its not quite the same.

last day is july 13th, its just for a week
its got framerate issues in the towns. otherwise its got a fair amount of content and features a nice makeover of the original game. controls have been updated as well.
Fable 2 is the best mainline Fable.

It is a really, really fantastic game (that I am terrible at). It's really come into its own in season 2 with extremely interesting character mechanics and a more fully-fleshed out campaign. I watch streams of the pros more than I play, to be honest, because it seems like such a fascinating fighting system that I don't fully have the time to commit to!

So tempted for KI season 2 but Shadow of Mordor is pulling me into a different direction. I feel like I can play KI for ever and not a single match will be the same, SoM though seems like I'm never going to touch it after completion.

You'll play nothing forever. Hell, you may die tomorrow. Both are great. Go for it.
I've gotten Sleeping Dogs so far and I really like it. I'm considering the 2D Ass Creed and Ori as well.

so your ranking is Original, 3, 2?
id just swap original and 2.
original is by no means bad, but i found the creativity of the quests in the two sequels to be far superior to anything in the first. that and the combat (although the omission of certain spells from Fable 1 in 2 & 3 and the lack of armor hurt those games a bit for me).
3 doesn't deserve the shit it gets. excellent game.

So, I have $4.67 in my Microsoft account, and I want to buy Injustice, which is $4.99 with gold. There doesn't seem to be any way to split the cost between my Microsoft account and Paypal or a credit card. What do I do?
