Xbox Digital store is having black Friday deals

How is Diablo 3?

I like loot games, but will need to random matchmake to actually progress. Which is why Destiny didn't work very well for me.

Online community decent sized?

Nabbed Rayman.

IMO, Diablo is the best loot game, period. My buddies and I have sank way too many hours into it already (I think I'm over 200K monsters killed now). The community is fairly good, but it has shrunk over the past several weeks as more games have released. Interestingly enough, I saw a lot of people come back to it a few weeks after Destiny released, probably cause it is a better loot game.
 
Mordor and TEW for $30 each? Gah

I need to wait. There is still going to be the Winter sales, right? Or is this it?
 
Anyone else disappointed in the Forza 5 pricing? Digital download cards (I guess from launch?) have been going for $20 for months and this "GOTY" edition doesn't add much beyond what is already available as a free download to the base game. Not very aggressive pricing. Gonna hold out and see what else they add later in the week.

It's a FANTASTIC loot game. The best imo.

I have put well over 100 hours into my Crusader on PS4 and am pretty sure by Dec 1st towards, I will have caved in and double dipped for XB1 so I can play over Live with my brother.
 
Those should be the normal prices. If they had competitive pricing against retail in general, these meh deals would be a but more obvious.

I think it sets the tone of xb1 digital sales though. $20 off the $50 goty price isn't that great, especially since it's a launch game. Can't see how Halo or Horizon 2 get drops to $30.

I've been considering buying forza 5 digitally and selling the disc just to move all my games to digital, so may just jump on this anyways.

MS cut the console another $50 this holiday, I dont see them having great discounts on their games too.
 
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is not worth $25. I say this as a huge fan of the IP. I'm wearing Spider-Man shoes right now. In a few hours, I'll be in bed underneath my Spider-Man blanket. I pre-ordered the latest movie, even though I had already seen it and hated it. I dressed up as The Amazing Bag-Man on Halloween.

The only enjoyable things in ASM2 are the unlockable Miles Morales and Miguel O'Hara costumes. It's an incredibly shit game. Don't support it.

Lol Tell us how you really feel.

Yeah, this game has the look of something I'd maybe pick up someday in the $10 or less used bargain bin. Thanks for reaffirming.
 
Hopefully that rumor pic is true. I've been wanting to pick up TEW. Was hoping for a Sleeping Dogs and Metro deal too though.
 
I expect them to rotate deals. If I remember right that's how they did it last year.

Also, for the content you get D3 is an awesome deal.
At full price. Right now it's a steal.

I agree on Diablo 3. The sheer amount of content and replayability inherent to the genre makes it a good value.

But the rest of these deals are incredibly lame.
 
I'd love Mordor, Diablo, and Forza but they all need to be $10 less before I jump. Digital needs to be way cheaper than physical for me.
 
Got Killer Instinct Season 1 Ultra! A fair price if you ask me.

Question: Does Microsoft charge for tax if you load up your account with Microsoft money?

I progress like crazy and I never play online. It's not really necessary, unlike Destiny. Diablo 3 UEE is just so bloody good. Just make sure that as you continually upgrade your gear and your stats that you also bump the difficulty setting up. I have a niece that loves the game as well but doesn't have a PS4. The game makes it very easy for me and her to play together locally on characters separate from the one I use in campaign.

Rayman Legends is also exceptional. Good purchase there. It was pretty much the only game I played earlier in the year on PS4.

Not if you change the address associated with your account to a state that doesn't charge tax.
 
For Op?

Some decent deals. I'd jump on TEW & Mordor if my backlog wasnt so heavy with SSO & Dragon Age. Plus KI will always be in rotation.

It's an awesome time to pick up a next gen console tho. Especially X1 where it seems like you can essentially get about 10 games for the price 4 right about now.
 
Isn't the Legendary Edition the one with all of the DLC in it? If it is, then it's not too bad of a deal

Ah, didn't notice it was the Legendary edition. I guess that makes the price cut not as bad. Still feel a slightly deeper cut would have been better. Or cutting the price of the standard edition instead...all the DLC is MP only, so it's not really any use to me.

Make sure you have a card eligible for the US store because I bet none of those prices translate well to the UK store

Can you recommend somewhere that doesn't require me to have a CC/DC registered in the US?

Wait, all of the DLC is MP stuff? Yeah, it's probably not worth it then
 
I feel like Ryse needed a steeper cut.

In a world where Rayman and Tomb Raider were 20 bucks this week, it needed to come in at 15-20. Even with the MP DLC.

Looks like Shadow of Mordor, Rayman and Tomb Raider are my hauls for the week.

I'm on the fence about D3, but don't know that I have time to commit to the game.
 
May grab defense grid for sure. Someone may buy me Tew for Christmas so I won't buy it. If not I'll get it later for 30 or cheaper
