I probably won’t buy much this sale since I bought a lot of games in the black friday sale a couple of weeks ago, and this sale is pretty much the same games at the same prices as then.
But I think I will buy either AC Valhalla or Immortals, or maybe Watch Dogs Legion if they patch the save glitch before the sale ends.
Like with Doom Eternal, I’m waiting for the Series X version of the game before playing Cyberpunk. I’ve got plenty of other games to play in the meantime.
I was going to buy this game in the digital Black Friday sale, but decided not to when I learned that the save issues are still there. I hope this gets fixed until the next time it goes on sale.
@gollumb82 If you haven’t used your trial month of Game Pass yet, you can buy 3 years worth of Xbox Live Gold, then upgrade all of it to Game Pass Ultimate using the trial month. All Xbox Live Gold you have stocked up (up to a maximum of 3 years) will be converted to Game Pass Ultimate. You can’t get a better discount than that
Fallout 4 is my favourite. I’ve played 3, NV, 4 and 76. I think 4 has the best gameplay of them all and I love the settlement building, I’ve spent many hours with that feature alone.
@Medic_Alert the reason Killer Instinct ”sold less” than a million copies is because it was mainly a free to play title, so those copies probably only includes the retail version. It had over 6 million active players when season 3 launched. It did not tank, it was a successful fighting game.
I’d prefer them seperately, especially if that would mean seperate achievement lists, because I’m only going to play the campaign anyway. I (almost) never play online multiplayer.
@Bobobiwan Is it really growing? I was under the impression that VR was hot for a couple of months in like 2016/2017, and interest has just faded away since then. I think most people has written off VR as a fad.
I have just started Yooka-Laylee since one of the weekly Game Pass Quests was to defeat 18 minions in that game. I have played maybe 30 minutes so far, and I think I’ll like this game. The only complaint I have so far is both the music and sound effects are pretty annoying.
Wow, that is not a cool move by the publisher! This makes me glad I haven’t bought the standard edition, which has tempted me in a couple of sales this spring/summer. I will get the Ultimate Edition to play on Series X.
I almost never play online, but I’ve been subscribed to Gold for over 10 years because of all the great sales you get access to as a Gold member. I wonder what will happen to those sales if the rumours are true and Gold will be phased out. Hopefully, and ideally, they would become available to everybody, but I feel like there is a risk that the deals will be locked behind Game Pass instead of Gold...
I love Ubisoft’s open world games, and AC Odyssey as well as Far Cry 4 and 5 are some of my favourite games from this generation. I really look forward to all three of these games, but if I have to rank my anticipation as of right now it would be:
This is fantastic news! I love the first Curse of the Moon, I even unlocked all of the achievements in it, too. Haven’t played Ritual of the Night myself yet, but I watched my girlfriend play it and it’s also an amazing game, as long as you’re not playing the Switch version from what I understand.
I removed my sticker as soon as I took the console out of the box. But I’ve probably seen more consoles with the sticker left on than with the stickers removed, which is really strange to me.

Re: Xbox Countdown Sale 2020 Now Live, 800+ Games Discounted
@Captain_Chao5 Digital is not overpriced, Amazon is underpriced.

Re: Pick One: Which Of These Remedy Xbox Games Is Your Favourite?
I’ve only played Alan Wake and Quantum Break. QB is pretty good, but AW is way better in my opinion, so it has my vote.
I’m going to play Control when the Series X version is out
Re: Talking Point: Are You Suffering From Saving Issues With Watch Dogs: Legion?
I was going to buy this game in the digital Black Friday sale, but decided not to when I learned that the save issues are still there. I hope this gets fixed until the next time it goes on sale.
Re: GreedFall Is Heading To Xbox Series X With Additional Content
Good news. I really hope it utilizes Smart Delivery as I own the Xbox One version, but haven’t played it yet.
Re: All Optimised For Xbox Series X|S Games Out Now
@Blessed_Koz I agree that it’s not very likely, but it was not a list of games I think will be optimised. One can always hope
Re: All Optimised For Xbox Series X|S Games Out Now
@Jarobusa Either the internal SSD or the Seagate Storage Expansion card.
If it would be able to run from an external HDD it would be the Xbox One version, without any of the Series S/X improvements.
Re: Apple Devices Will Add Xbox Series X Controller Support In Future Update
Give Game Pass support too, while you’re at it.

Re: Pick One: Which Of These Xbox Fallout Games Is Your Favourite?
Fallout 4 is my favourite. I’ve played 3, NV, 4 and 76. I think 4 has the best gameplay of them all and I love the settlement building, I’ve spent many hours with that feature alone.
Re: Poll: Would You Release Halo Infinite's Campaign & Multiplayer Separately?

Re: Samurai Shodown Brings The Fight To Xbox Series X|S At Launch

@xDani-D I agree, it would be really helpful to know if you can complete the quest without unlocking any achievements.
Re: Star Wars: Squadrons Will Support Joysticks And Throttles On Xbox One
@Bobobiwan Is it really growing? I was under the impression that VR was hot for a couple of months in like 2016/2017, and interest has just faded away since then. I think most people has written off VR as a fad.
Re: Pick One: Which Of These Newly Announced Ubisoft Games Are You Most Excited For?

Re: BioWare Shares A Look Behind The Scenes Of Dragon Age 4
I want this game now, it’s been so long since Inquisition. But it still seems like it’s pretty early in development...

I haven’t bought anything from this sale yet, but I’m thinking about picking up Sniper Elite 4 and the Bayonetta & Vanquish bundle.
Re: The Standard Version Of Control Won't Get A Free Next-Gen Upgrade
Wow, that is not a cool move by the publisher! This makes me glad I haven’t bought the standard edition, which has tempted me in a couple of sales this spring/summer. I will get the Ultimate Edition to play on Series X.

Re: Phil Spencer Introduces Reverse Horror Game Carrion In Bizarre Video
@Z3u5000 I agree that Game Pass is a fantastic service. Very consumer friendly and great value for money. But it doesn’t suit everyone, including me.
Re: Phil Spencer Introduces Reverse Horror Game Carrion In Bizarre Video
@zane547 Not everyone is subscribed to Game Pass.
Re: Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2 Announced, Heading To Xbox One

Re: Pick One: Which Of These Xbox One Games Is Most Underrated?
Sunset Overdrive for me, I had so much fun with that game! There is such a nice flow to the gameplay, and the controls are really spot on.
