Just seems like an underhanded marketing tactic; it's not done on individual basis or anything, one group of gamers simply gets your paid content for free for the lulz.

It was a paid 15 dollar game at one point on the PC... and, actually, I'm pretty sure it still is as you can, or at least you could, buy it via GfWL so its not so much a underhanded tactic as one to make sure their as profitable as they can be.

I would KILL (yes I do mean murder someone) if they put one out with a fully translated Shining Force III. Shining Force II is probably my all-time favorite game.
C'mon Sega, make it happen!

It was half off within a month and a half. The F2P and previous iteration are two separate entities.

While not my #1, it is pretty damn close.

I don't get why they just didn't make a Vintage Collection out of the AM2/Model 2 fighting games. I'm sure some people are glad it's 400 MSP/$5 for just 1 game of their choice rather than 800 MSP/$10 for three (plus knowing Sega, they'll be on sale for 200 MSP, totaling 600 MSP/$7.50 for all 3), but just seems kind of weird considering they did 4 collections of games, but then 3 fighting games built around the same arcade board aren't bundled together in a collection.

add me to the list too fellas, i have a few friends who have it as well... im still wondering which DLC packs I should get.

I played the demo last night, and well... anything running on the source engine is a friend of mine.

As for the GCI queries. I loved the SHIT out of that game from December (beta) to April... then the multiplayer took a dive and most matches you find now is fill full of nothing but exploiters. When the game went free to play on steam the XBL community went with it i suppose.

It works better for those who care about gamescore though:

Individually: 3 X 400 = 1200 GS
Collection: 1 X 400 = 400 GS

Here's hoping this weeks' DotW doesn't stink now that all of the major holiday shopping sales are over. I want something good to spend all the newfound points I have on!

I'm voting to end the preachy shit... now! Tohis, I understand your plight and would help if I could, but I simply cannot. Sorry.

I seem to remember someone digging up a leak that revealed the next DOTW being a retread of DLC we've seen on sale a hundred times before. I would love to be wrong, though.

Yes, GTA IV content, if I remember correctly.

If it is GTA IV DLC (yet again) then I'd only finally buy it if it turned out to be 200 points, which it goddamn should by this time.

Wow I think this is the most disappointing Thanksgiving sale for me yet. I did not buy one thing that was part of it. I did pick up Bully: Scholarship Edition, Dance Central 2 export, Lego Batman 2 Heroes pack, and Walking Dead Ep. 5.

Really hope for another bout of "fighters DLC" on sale:

Still waiting on SF4 Arcade expansion (Still at $15) and MK season pass (for those of us with the orginal game--non-Komplete edition). MK Season Pass was on sale last year and I can't even recall the last time I seen SF4 Arcade DLC on sale.

Also wouldn't mind seeing Trials Evolution or SKullgirlz :0. Far as I can tell neither of these been on sale yet.

I wouldn't rule out Skullgirls being discounted soon. If nothing else, the people working on it could use the publicity after falling off the face of the earth for a while. http://www.joystiq.com/2012/11/20/sk...ork-on-series/

Perhaps I'm too optimistic for a discount, but it's a fighter I'd actually love to have.

Didn't Skullgirls get discounted on PSN a little while ago? Gives some more hope it'll happen on XBLA soon enough.

Dead Island GotY is out of stock @ the local wally worlds. $10 is worth it.


Just got the El Diablo' Mexican Adventure. One of the few sit-&-play kinect games.

Holy crap, I can't stop playing Monster World. I can't believe I've never played this before. I hope Monster World IV and Monster Land are as good.

Yeah, its a pretty solid collection.

F da snow monkey boss in land.

Look up the Sega Master System ones, they're the best in the series

Hope that's a sign of some sort for MS to do the same, I also want skullgirls (I even would buy it for 800MSP). Also, because dreaming is free, a sale on SSF4 costumes would be very nice (I hate you, CAPCOM).
