Damn Alien Collection for $10 is a must buy, about to double dip.

It's the one game I've been waiting for in this sale. Bought!

 

[BananasWithGuns]

Wish the discounts were a bit steeper but Chivalry, Elite Dangerous and Octodad are a bit tempting.

 

[GravyButt]

A lot of good deals.

Bought Plague Inc and Gears so far. Thinking about alien, Saints Row and a few others.

Plague Inc plays well if anyone is thinking about it.

Is it more in depth than the mobile versions I played a few years back?

 

[theDeeDubs]

Snagged AC Syndicate Gold, Octodad, Prototype bundle, and Legend of Korra. Thinkin about Velocity too.

 

[Captain_Wreckus]

Definitely buying gears. But debating on Fifa 16. If you have EA Access, is it still worth getting?

 

[DagnastyEp]

The slight drop in price was all I needed to jump on Fallout 4. So far this sale, I've got F4 and Lego Star Wars TCS. Though there wasn't much I was looking for. Not a bad sale, and I think we still have one more round of weekly deals for next week. I definitely bought more games last year during the sale though.

Also, at that price, Alien: Isolation is a must buy. My 2014 game of the year.

 

[mr_sockochris]

while still a reasonable price, £9.90 is not the same, microsoft and sega... (because our discount is down from £29.99 which is not half price to begin with)

Says £7.50 when I click the link?

£12.50 for the complete one though.....

 

[Jessie.Bristol]

Grabbed Alien: Isolation such a great price. Wondering about Zombi. Is it worth a buy at that price?

Short answer? Yes. I bought it twice now, once for Wii U at launch and again in August on Xbox One. It is a really good game.

 

[storafötter]

Is Shovel Knight a good deal? wanted to get it on xbox due to Battletoads being in it.

I also am a bit confused why D4 didnt have a sale at all.

 

[Courage]

I'm hoping they drop the price for the Evil Within season pass since I already got the game physically.

 

[Xaero Gravity]

PAYDAY 2: CRIMEWAVE EDITION - $29.99 - 40% off

Whatever you do, avoid this game like the plague.

I hate to agree, but it's true. I absolutely love Payday 2, but Overkill treats their console fans like complete garbage. The XB1 version's matchmaking was only fixed a about a month or so ago and the game came out in June. Not to mention even at the time of release it wasn't the complete edition as advertised. To this day we haven't gotten any of the promised post launch content, including Jacket which was supposed to be released for free.

 

[TechnicPuppet]

Is it more in depth than the mobile versions I played a few years back?

There is another mode I don't remember from the mobile game called official scenarios. They may have been added though.

 

[oti]

Serious q: how's monopoly?

 

[mr_sockochris]

Any impressions of Squid Hero + Boom Ball? My Kinect games are serously limited and am always wanting something new for the kids for it.

 

[theDeeDubs]

Im weak. Also snagged Adventures of Pip and Velocity 2X

 

[Xbudz]

Fuck me I bought Tony Hawk 5... and Diablo Ultimate Evil Edition

 

[SlickVic]

I loved Saints Row 3 and 4, but the "remaster" for Xbox One and PS4 is a travesty. It doesn't really look any better, yet it stutters like crazy to the point where it significantly harms gameplay. And Gat out of Hell was close to good, but it has even worse performance issues which make it awful.

Unsurprisingly those were High Voltage Studios joints. Definitely a warning sign now whenever those guys are involved.

 

[Syrus]

Gears is 30$$??? Thats terrible. Ill buy next year for 20 or less.

Will buy Alien for 10.

Not sure what else...

 

[GravyButt]

Bought Zombi as well. Didn't realize that was on sale until someone asked about it. Been eyeing it for a while. Hopefully good?

 

[Deception]

Serious q: how's monopoly?

Eh its monopoly, games take really long to finish and it's not nearly as fun and exciting the real board game but it's serviceable.

 

[jamsy]

I also am a bit confused why D4 didnt have a sale at all.

Yup, I've been waiting for this game to be on sale for months (having gotten an Xbox One after it was free with Gold)....hoping it will be one of the daily deals this week.

 

[Syrus]

Man.....MGS for 40 or no? I have alot of other gamez to play.

Syndicate I heard is good but for 48 I can wait til next year lol

 

[LowerLevel]

Man... Sleeping Dogs for $10? MGS for $40? Backlog is stupid right now and funds are limited as fuck too...

 

[bman94]

Alien Isolation complete for $10? Glad I didn't jump on that deal from Microsoft store a few days ago.

 

[IXI FalcoN]

Week 2 delivered.

Picking up Alien Isolation Complete, LiS, Broken Sword 5, Octodad, and The Bridge. The rest of the dailies will most likely suck, but I'm very happy with this haul.

 

[steveovig]

Is Alien Isolation difficult? I love the movies and I've been interested in this for a bit but I'm afraid it's too hard. That price is very tempting.

 

[Quikies83]

Any Evil Within impressions on Xbone? I want to play this but can't run on PC. I assume the have had been patched a few times.

 

[oti]

There's a Kinect bundle? Might have to take a look at it. Hoping it's stupid fun for fbe kids to enjoy.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Is Alien Isolation difficult? I love the movies and I've been interested in this for a bit but I'm afraid it's too hard. That price is very tempting.

Unless it was patched, there is some very horrible checkpointing in the game. In some sections it is possible to lose 15-20 minutes progress after a death. That annoyed me greatly at the time.

 

[jond76]

Damn. Picked up Chivalry and Velocity. To the backlog!

 

[Anastasis]

The games are ok. Not "Fruit Ninja" good, but entertaining enough for that price. I liked Squid hero more than Boom Ball (the levels where you have to strafe left and right to avoid obstacles are the best).

Thanks!

 

[Deception]

It can be very challenging. A lot of puzzles can be hard to figure out and the Alien AI can be very frustrating but it is very fun and tense.

 

[krang]

Elite...bought! Wasn't Brazil prices, but it was pretty convenient.

Tempted by Alien. It looks great and I'm a big fan of the films, but I'm a fucking whuss with scares in games - any thoughts from those who have played it?

 

[speedomodel]

wow im hoping theres more to that story than that or else wow

The sad part is there really isn't. They consistently treat console players like shit and get shitty with fans online. It's pathetic.

 

[BananasWithGuns]

Is the content in the ultimate edition of Chivalry all that worthwhile?

Mostly just looks like character skins with a few weapons thrown in.

As someone who is a sissy with scary games generally, I grabbed it earlier this year on sale and played it on the easiest difficulty. Makes it a lot more enjoyable. I'd say go for it!

Great, thanks. Also, what's the difference between the standard and "the collection" versions?

Edit: nevermind, I was being lazy. Just looked.

 

[jay23]

Has rainbow six siege been part of the sales? Hope I didn't miss it.

 

[Conflict NZ]

Assassin's Creed Syndicate was already 40% off digitally on PSN, hugely disappointing that they could only get 20 for Xbox Live.

 

[speedomodel]

Great, thanks. Also, what's the difference between the standard and "the collection" versions?

I believe they released several DLC packs for the game with new missions and stuff. I do not have those. But have heard they were great.

 

[iiicon]

So how do those DMC games run on Xbox? Ideally I'd get them on Steam but I don't think DmC received the update the console versions got.

I agree with speedomodel. I'm a big fan of the Alien franchise, and both fascinated and terrified of the xenomorph. After 2 hours playing, I dropped the difficulty down a bit - more due to how tense I was, then how difficult the game is. I really enjoyed the game (2014 GOTY), though I did have to take a break after a few of the more tense situations. The cleverness, awareness, and senses (overall AI) of the Xeno scale with the difficulty setting.

 

[dLMN8R]

Gears is 30$$??? Thats terrible. Ill buy next year for 20 or less.

Will buy Alien for 10.

Not sure what else...

$30 right now also includes Gears 1-3 + Judgment for back compat. So if you don't already own those games, $20 next year would be a far worse deal than $30 right now.

 

[Syrus]

I woulda bought for 40%

Own all but gears 2 from GWG. I just want the updated game.

Im 95% digital too

 

[steveovig]

I didn't know Alien had difficulty settings. Might be re-thinking this one. Is the Collection stuff worth the extra $2.50? I don't like Multiplayer much and I don't like Hoard modes.

 

[BabyFaceKillah]

will get shovel knight.

 

[Westraid]

I'll pick up Life is Strange for the 360. I forgot to get the XBO version when it was on sale a couple of weeks ago, so I'm really glad to get a 2nd chance to play this for a reduced price.

 

[friskykillface]

Getting alien pretty good price

 

[mohsinkhan]

I bought NHL. Had my eye on it for a while.
