Of course if your primary interests are misogyny, homophobia, racism and recreational marijuana use, you probably don't even need this app.

Dan

yup. It sounds like a way to make new friends on XBL who specifically don't fit those interests.

Of course, I'm sure [those who shall not be named] will find a way to fuck it up.

I'm guessing MS has been sitting on this stock since last November, and didn't want to push it to retailers until now. Makes sense to release this bundle now that the game is (allegedly) fixed.

Last I heard, the matchmaking still wasn't working like it was supposed to. That was the biggest reason I haven't put much time into multiplayer yet. And to think if they could actually pull it off, it could be one of the best multiplayer games on any system. I still know how they fucked up so bad on that game.

Decker

That's the thing isn't it? How did they screw up the multiplayer here as bad as they did? I mean yes, DRIVECLUB was worse, but that's a new game, from a new developer attempting things never tried on that sort of scale before. This is Halo - pre-existing games, from the developers of Halo 4.

slop101

How?

mattysemo247

Because they fucking suck!

In all seriousness, I wonder if any of it has to do with Bungie not being involved. And it's not like they could have pushed it to this year, MS wouldn't miss the holiday season and release two Halo games in the same year.

Some surprisingly good sale items just went up for the XO :

Ryse legendary edition is $30
SO season pass is $15
Tomb raider DE is $13.20
Zombie Driver is $5
Murdered: soul suspect is $16.50

I'll be grabbing the Sunset Overdrive SP at that price for sure. I would have gotten TR : DE at that price, but I bought it two weeks ago on the PS4 for 80 cents more!

Not a big Zombie Driver fan (or a Minnie Driver fan either for that matter) but it's an easy 2000 G for $5 for those who care about that stuff

Liver&Onions

Nice, in for Tomb Raider (again). Bought it on the 360 before the DE came out, and have yet to play it. Time to do just that.

Has anyone picked up an Amazon Warehouse returned Xbox One? Is there a better/cheaper option out there?

xmiyux

I might get Murdered: Soul Suspect. Will have to look at some gameplay and reviews tonight.

slop101 was making a joke because you said you "know how they screwed up."

I recently picked up both Tomb Raider and Ryse (I had second thoughts about the latter so I took it off my wishlist but someone had already bought it for me--oh well, I'll play it). I enjoyed TR again after playing it on 360, but it didn't really seem like there was a lot of additional stuff in the DE.

Target has it for $349 x/ $35 gift card this week

I know

Dragon Age is "free to try" from now until March 16th. Nobody is quite sure how much of the game is available, but the DL is 41GB so it may be the whole thing.

fumanstan

I still haven't given Dragon Age a go, so i'm going to download it.

Brack

I have played some of it, bought it on PS4 a while back (I have way too many games and I'm kind of ADD, I have only beat Ryse, Scribblenauts, Inferno something, Injustice for Wii U, in the past 2.5 years of gaming on Wii U, PS3, PS4, and XO; too many freebies and discounts dammit lol).

Anyway, it's a pretty cool looking game with some paranormal aspects added into a detective game. The story seems decent enough. I bought it for $30 then, so if you have any inkling of playing it I would think for $16.50 you really can't go wrong. WhySoBlu I think really liked it as well back when it was released. I'd check out the thread for the game on this forum.

GoVegan

Thanks! That's definitely a better deal.

davidh777

Thanks for the tip. I was actually on the Gold offers page today and saw the sale price but not this offer. Do we think that means it gets deleted on the 16th, or that it has to be downloaded by then and can still be played afterward? Regardless, I guess I'm playing this next instead of Wolfenstein.

Brack

My guess is that you could probably just buy the game at that point, and the game would be "unlocked" and you wouldn't have to redownload the game. That's just a guess though, but it would make sense.

Decker

I'm sure it's just like the limited EA Access window we got before the game launched. You download it, play it during the window, then after the preview period ends (10/16/15), it stays in your HDD but is locked until you buy it from the Xbox store or a retail version -- then you can continue your game save.

davidh777

Thanks! Downloading it now. I haven't played many RPGs, but I almost got this one before deciding I might spring for EA Access someday and it might be there.

chuckd21

That's a good price for Soul Suspect. It's a decent game.

Dan

Says the guy who liked Ryse. Don't trust him...
(I'll probably buy Soul Suspect... waiting for it to drop below $10 though)

chuckd21

It would be a good price for Ryse too.

Dan

I bought Ryse at $30 I think. No regrets...
