Topic: Your Latest Xbox Purchase

Shantae Half Genie Hero for series s

Bought a fair amount of games in the recent Xbox sales. Got Onechanbara: Bikini Samurai Squad for €5, Earth Defense Force 2017 for €5, Starlink: Battle for Atlas for €12, and Trackmania Turbo for €5.

I played the first two Onechanbara games on PS+ Extra earlier this year and the games were so much fun! I looked up where to play the third one and it's apparently only available on Xbox. So imagine my surprise when I saw that the third game, which never goes on sale, was on sale. I just had to get it!

Never played an EDF game before, so for €5 I figured why not give this series a try. There are apparently two other EDF games on PS4 that are fairly cheap now so I might get those as well if 2017 appeals to me.

For some reason, Starlink seems to have gone under the vast majority's radar. Maybe it was because of the toys to life feature, but you don't actually need the toys since you get a bunch of items digitally. Either way, this looks like tons of fun and a seemingly underrated game. It seems like No Man's Sky but with a story and it's rather lengthy as well. I'm definitely looking forward to playing this game the most out of these purchases.

Never played a Trackmania game before either, so I'm looking forward to giving this series a try as well!

Project Gotham Racing 2 for Xbox Original

Picked up the South Park double pack that contained Stick of Truth and Fractured But Whole. I never played these games but have heard good things over the years about these game, so for less then $20 I figured why not.

@Tasuki both are some of the best and most fun rpgs I've played. Not overly long either. Well worth every penny.

Mass Effect Legendary Edition for £5.99 in the BF Sale. Actually used £5 of rewards so only really paid £0.99 for it. Can't go wrong with that.

@NintendoByNature Yeah as I said I hear nothing but good things about these games but I always forgot about them due to other games higher on my Playlist. I probably won't play them now with Indy due out soon, just hang on to them when there's a game draught.

@Tasuki absolutely. Indy...all I can think about right now.

@NintendoByNature Right, I am in the same boat. I am just playing a few small games mainly just grabbing achievements, nothing major so that when Indy comes I can focus on only that.

@Tasuki same. Just some smaller stuff on xbox like spyro and watching the indy movies in preparation.

@NintendoByNature Spyro is always a joy to play it's been awhile since I played it though. I think the last time I played it is when it came out on PS4 a few years ago. Is this your first time playing it?

Did anyone pick up any of the now delisted Sega titles? I grabbed Virtua Fighter 2 as I have fairly fond memories of it. I have the Mega Drive Collection on PS and Switch so pretty much accommodated for all my classic Sega needs.

@Tasuki I have Spyro Reignited Trilogy on Xbox, but I haven't played it more than a few minutes. I was hoping that it would get FPS Boost some day, but perhaps that's very difficult because there are issues in the PC version. It might be the case for other Activision games like Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fuelled and Crash Bandicoot N.sane Trilogy. It didn't bother me much in the N.sane Trilogy that I fully completed and enjoyed, but Spyro is fully 3D and the frame rate was jerky in my little time with it.

@Bob_Salat I got Sega Mega Drive Classics a few years ago, but I haven't played much of it. I'm sure there are gems there. I also have the Mega Drive Mini, a little treasure. 😁

Picked up the Lego Marvel Collection from the most recent sale. I played the first game years ago on PS4 but never played the other games and I have been on a Marvel kick as of late watching the Marvel movies again. Will probably start these up after Indy.
