Support NeoGAF

[Iva Demilcol]

Time to get Hyper Light Drifter.

 

[ElfArmy177]

I don't think it's officially up yet. Deals With Gold updates on Tuesdays and you will get an add at home screen.

You can sometimes buy it before the sale goes live by manually searching for the titles though.

Thanks! I just want payday to go on sale to play with my friends.. seems it's never gonna happen though

 

[ipukespiders]

I enjoyed the first mirror's edge, is this one more of the same?

 

[jeremy1456]

Fuck.

It stutters, but not frequently.

I feel very sorry if the game was unplayable for the first guy; half of all games last gen must have been unplayable for him.

 

[U2NUMB]

I smell Madden FIFA and NHL 17 coming to access soon..

good sale.

 

[Garcia el Gringo]

Is HLD 60 FPS here yet?

Yes, as of the middle on January for Xbox.

 

[Skilotonn]

Damn, I got Catalyst when it dropped right after launch for 35.99 to support another sequel when I knew I didn't have time to play anything at all. And I STILL haven't had the to play it (and many, many others) yet.

$8 digital is a crazy steal, can't see why you'd skip it if you have even the slightest interest in it.

I am also still waiting on The Witcher 3 Expansion Pass to go on sale ffs.

CD Projekt had already stated long time ago that it would never go on sale on any platform, considering the deal it's already at for what you get, and I certainly agree, many others would as well.

So I'd just buy it right now if I were you.

 

[G0523]

I enjoyed the first mirror's edge, is this one more of the same?

Kind of. It's a retelling of the first game but they added in a more open-world feel with lots of side quests. Your mileage may vary but personally I didn't like it. And I really enjoyed the first one.

 

[Clunker]

Those are my recommendations for those unsure. PvZ 2 is especially a whole lot of fun.

Is the online community still active? And how playable is it if I tend to play without a headset?

Sorely tempted by this and Stranger of Sword City ... definitely picking up Mirror's Edge Catalyst. I was turned off by the initial impressions but for 8 bones I'll bear with some open world baggage for a chance to get back into that world.

 

[Doug Heffernan]

Wow, Dragon Age GOTY for $13 is insane!

That's it, I'm holding off on buying Mass Effect and waiting 2 years so I can buy the GOTY edition for $13.

 

[Erv]

Dam is fire watch really that bad? Really wanted it at one point

 

[fenners]

Is the online community still active? And how playable is it if I tend to play without a headset?

Utterly fine, and utterly fine. My kids & I still regularly play it, easy to get in games, and no headset is no problem.

 

[Flux]

The framerate chugs. My workaround was to just walk everywhere and not look around much because the world was not meant to be seen by mortal eyes. Also the devs abandoned the console versions.

[Captain Zyrain]

Man.. I wonder how long till BF1 and Titanfall 2 are included with EA Access..

 

[Orca]

I smell Madden FIFA and NHL 17 coming to access soon..

good sale.

Madden is already there. Not sure about FIFA. NHL is end of next month.

I have such a hard time buying EA titles on sale... I mean some of these are ALREADY in the Vault. Why spend $20 on a game that you could spend that on EA Access and get the game plus a bunch of others?

 

[Tenshin]

Bf1 and tf2 is a great price damn double dip for xbox one

Hold up, yoooooooooooo... that's amazing, yes!

Peter Moore giving us a parting gift.

 

[clav]

Buy Titanfall 2, people. It's one of the greats and is not getting the success it deserves.

This x10. The multiplayer is good and the campaign was absolutely fantastic.

Please explain.

I played TF1 for a bit and was annoyed with the framerate + screen tearing.

The sequel looks like it's pleasing the COD fanbase.

 

[Deleted member 465307]

And yet, still no Shovel Knight on sale. This was the last chance to have it on sale before the price increase next week and Xbox is the only platform to not do it. What is Microsoft's problem with this game? Digital only and hardly ever on sale.

I had no idea that Microsoft's is the only store that didn't put it on sale. Weird.

 

[xzeldax3]

Most important thing from this sale:
All Star

For $2 more is the deluxe version worth it?

 

[malfcn]

I have credit expiring in days.. So perfect timing.

Inside was on the short list.
Is The Witness still in high praise?

yo, yo, yo, I'm on this.

 

[fenners]

For $2 more is the deluxe version worth it?

For PvsZ 2 Deluxe, I think it's just extra skins + a bunch of coins. Coins are useful, they let you get more "stuff" to plant & use in missions, and random skin packs. The skins? Meh. $2 isn't much though...

I play almost everyday, 1000 hours in. very active. mostly kids use mics, and friendly chatter with them. I booted up the OG PvsZ today, and thats still alive as well.

 

[bman94]

Holy shit Mirror's Edge bombed. The game cam3 our last year and is already $8?

 

[colinp]

Are there 360 sales as well? They mentioned in the OP they'd pop up a few hours ago...

 

[Fox Mulder]

Kind of. It's a retelling of the first game but they added in a more open-world feel with lots of side quests. Your mileage may vary but personally I didn't like it. And I really enjoyed the first one.

That's all I've heard about it. I'll pass and the first is BC, which is great.

 

[shoreu]

Pay 5 for EA access and beat it honestly (mirrors edge)

 

[Daigoro]

did Mirrors Edge ever get an OT? (i must be missing it) edit: found the OT by searching catalyst.

is it any good? semi open world sounds... eh.

 

[JigglesBunny]

Everyone buy Mirror's Edge right now.
Don't question it, don't fight it, buy this game for the ridiculously low asking price and never look back.

There was a thread last week where people just kept saing how bland, boring, and mediocre it is.

 

[KDC720]

Thinking about Garden Warfare 2 and Hyperlight. Maybe INSIDE as well.

Catalyst is good not great imo. I think the first one is miles better but for 8 bucks you could do a whole lot worse.

 

[kubev]

How does the Deluxe Edition content for Titanfall 2 impact the single-player campaign?

 

[J_Viper]

How does the Deluxe Edition content for Titanfall 2 impact the single-player campaign?

It doesn't, the deluxe edition only includes items for MP

 

[kubev]

It doesn't, the deluxe edition only includes items for MP

Good to know. I'll probably just get the regular edition, as I doubt that I'll play multi-player at all. Thanks for the info!

 

[malfcn]

What is this horseshit.

 

[Falchion]

Hmmmm, Firewatch for $10......

 

[Daigoro]

What is this horseshit.

is that credit you paid for, or some promo/rewards shit?

 

[malfcn]

:|

Some of it, I believe.
But it adds up to $21.51 and they are trying to expire it before it should.

 

[Head.spawn]

In for Mirrors Edge.

 

[MauroNL]

360 deals are on Major Nelson' blog post. Some BC games and free DLC in there as well.

[Black Mantis]

Just grabbed TF2, hope the campaign's as good as I've heard.

 

[sam777]

If anyone wants to buy a Forza 6 digital code I am selling in the BS/FT thread for $23.

 

[Fortinbras]

CD Projekt had already stated long time ago that it would never go on sale on any platform, considering the deal it's already at for what you get, and I certainly agree, many others would as well.

So I'd just buy it right now if I were you.

It's on sale on PSN so that CD Project Red comment is bullshit.

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

Unplayable for me, would not recommend even at that price.

GAF's definition of "unplayable" is completely fucking ridiculous.

Awesome, thank you!

 

[JoeLT]

GAF's definition of "unplayable" is completely fucking ridiculous.

For a game where the entire objective is to just walk and look around, and the game looks worse and chugs worse than a PS3 port? Yeah I consider that unplayable this generation.

 

[Big_Al]

It's on sale on PSN so that CD Project Red comment is bullshit.

It was also half price on Steam there in Jan (or maybe early Feb ?), I know this because I forgot to purchase it like an arsehole
