Which totally sucks for me.

Can anyone explain to me what Microsoft thinks a "deal" is?


Bing's (Microsoft) definition of Deal is:


1. business transaction: an agreement, arrangement, or transaction, usually one that benefits all the parties involved

2. bargain: something offered for sale on favorable terms


Listing a title like RE4 down to 800msp is a deal.

Listing a title like I Am Alive for full price...isn't a deal.

Is Re4 anything like the old resident evil games? Last one i played was resident evil 2.

. No but really you havent played a RE game since #2. If I may ask, what the is wrong with you? As for as a reply, the gameplay is different. Go watch reviews or read the last 3 pages of this thread.

so is everything in the shocktober section eligible for the xbox rewards deal?

Not really. It's over the shoulder third person a la Gears. More action than survival horror. Quick-time events. The one thing that stayed the same is you can't move while shooting. Look up some reviews.

I guess they're not lying, really. It is the sales and SPECIALS app, after all.

Yeah, I know, they're still scumbags.

Knew they'd put RE4 on sale this month, just figured it would be alongside RE6's release. Guess I'll finally be playing RE4.

No. It's much better.

Best in the series in my opinion.

Updated the OP. Reinstated GH/DJ/RB sale info that is still valid, and did a partial update on the S&S+ section specifically to help keep track of loser deals. It's only a partial update because I currently lack the patience for all the cross-referencing and copypasta necessary to fully flesh it out. That and I don't give a damn about anything but the loser deals.

Also: Though neither one is what I'd consider an OMG-must-have game, this is apparently the first time Geon and GripShift have been discounted - and they've been available for roughly 5 years. Food for thought.

Leedmees was one of my first reviews too. Here is said review. Personally, I found the game frustratingly difficult due to the highly unresponsive and flat-out buggy controls. Some people don't seem to mind this (miraculously, to me), but it ruined the game for me.

Said this a few pages back...

RE4's graphics on Xbox 360 and PS3 are just upscaled and don't show any obvious improvements. It does contain the PS2 version's bonus content and it's still a fantastic game, but a lot more could've been done to improve the port (such as improving the antiquated controls).

Here's my RE4 HD review.

I wouldn't call it the weakest port (from a technical standpoint it's only below the PC version), but the Wii version did at least enhance the controls, unlike the 360/PS3 version.

Hi, this likely isn't the best forum to ask this but I've noticed a few people in the past mention VPN. I moved from Canada to Australia last year, brought my xbox, don't want to migrate at the moment as I'm not sure if I'm staying here more than a few months right now. Anyways I bought RE4 the other day but every time I try to download it it's corrupt. Can anyone recommend a free way of setting up a VPN so that I can download it? Any VPN sites that people can recommend that I should look at? Feel free to send me a private message if you like so that this forum doesn't get too bogged down in things that don't quite matter to more than 1 or 2 people.

Thanks

On the Mystery Spin thing, I clicked on it for curiousity's sake and it seems each spin costs 40 msp, not 80?

That's kinda crappy lol I was JUST about to pick it up

If Bioshock 2 goes back to 9.99 I'll most likely pick it up along with the first one. Both for $20 would make for some good Halloween gaming.
