I guess they are about as credible of a source as H2.

but if it is on the internet it must be true...right

So the new Skyrim DLC, Dragonborn, isn't going to be discounted along with the others?

Welp, 20 bucks later (sorry, I mean 1600 Microsoft Moon Money), I've got FEZ, Mark of the Ninja and Dust. I am satisfied.

Nope.

Are the Trials HD DLCs worth it even if I just bought Evolution?

Its not my GOTY, but it is much better than Trials HD. HD was a lot of fun, until the difficulty ramps up significantly. There's basically three parts to HD: easy, fun stuff; challenging stuff; brutally difficult stuff. And they're not equally distributed. I'd say 25/15/60. Whereas in Evolution, its much more evenly split between fun, challenging and brutal. Plus, the player-made tracks add a ton of free content. Track sharing in HD was a clumsy affair, but Evolutions has a simple set of menus for it.

No, the rumor was that Windows Phone 8 wasn't going to use microsoft points for it's microsoft store games.

That doesn't even make sense. Windows Phone 7 never used Microsoft points for games.

Hey

There's lots of free content. There's online and local multiplayer. You're no longer stuck in a drab warehouse. And its difficulty curve is much flatter. If you want the sadistic levels, you still have them but you can enjoy a lot more of the game before giving up than in HD. I think if you start off with HD and hate it, you won't go on to the much better Evolution. It's like people who hate Assassin's Creed 1 and won't go further to AC2 and others.

^THIS! I love the hell out of both games and DLC but if you have to choose one then definitely go with Evolution. It's an awesome sequel that fixes the few complaints from the original and adds some nice features.


I picked up Dust and Deadlight after playing both trials. I was going to wait on Deadlight but with Target points I can spend the extra couple dollars and not feel bad. Plus I think I'll play it soon rather than wait and feel bad if/when it drops to 400 and I haven't played it by then. The Hybrid beta was fun and I almost bit at $5 but I know I won't play it much and prestiging 5 times for an achievement is a turnoff.

Now I'm just waiting on the Borderlands 2 Season Pass and free TWD episode and I'm set. I'll just wait to rent TWD on 360 and PS3 and play through the disc once for each.

It was rumored that Microsoft might be getting rid of MS Points by the next-gen system, but then it was later reported that it's not likely to happen, and that they most likely will keep the points system.

As CAGs here have noticed anyway, it's good for us, there's cheaper ways of getting points, there won't be cheaper ways if we have to use cash.

IGN wasn't the source of that rumor; some little nobody site was. IGN and many other places picked it up for some reason and ran with it, despite the lack of credibility. I think that's largely because of wishful thinking from the gaming press, who have always opposed the MS Point system (whereas folks in the know love it because of the potential for deals).

Just scored trials. My friends praise it all the time. I can't wait to play.

I hate to sound like a nag ... but everyone remembers that the "Serious Sam" franchise & "Catan" will expire sometime Tuesday morning (which I think is 12/25). Got it?

NAG ALERT!!!!

Jk, I'm actually considering Catan...I just bought the physical board game too but the idea of an XBL version really tempts me, especially at only 400 MSP. Hows the online experience per anyone who bought it?

Also, reading the OP (which I think is GREAT btw and doesnt need to be changed) Borderlands 2 DLC is going to be on sale? I thought it was just the season pass?

Though I'm a little disappointed that Trials Evo is 800 and due to that I won't be able to get all episodes from TWD (only 1700 MSP left, and will get Borderlands GoD), I bought Evo+DLC, because, , Trials HD is amazing, and Evo looks better. Also everyone says it's more forgiving than HD (I can't play neither difficult nor extreme levels, my limit is playing the normal ones).

For TWD I guess the first will be free, the second and third at 50% off, and the rest at 33% off or so.

I own and have played both, prior to this sale.

Remember that Evo has (Track Central?) that gives you free content, it seems at first it's just custom tracks from the community, but RedLynx has got some creative stuff on there, which become not just tracks but minigames themselves.

I think that feature COULD almost justify the 400 point difference.

Could you recommend some good tracks from track central, or they are ordered by popularity (I guess and hope so)?

anyone know how much borderlands 2 will be on thur..? thanks
