Agreed. They are really fun. Dead Kel was better for me personally but I enjoyed them both as well as the standard game.

Just got a message on my XBL account that I got a free month of Gold for the whole Cloud debacle. Funny thing is I didn't even know I was effected and just use it as a means to store random save files of games I enjoyed, but will probably not revisit. Also my saves are still on there looking fine and dandy.

ok so far that's:

sicsonic
Blade3D
Ciffy
bajingo

Chrono Gear
Brock F'n Sampson
JStryke
Inf^Shini

FNL 4EVA
...
...
...

i'm thinking i'd set different dates/times and let people from the list choose which group, hopefully it will work out and we'll get 4 people in each group at dates/times that work.

for those that don't know what i'm talking about, this is a list for people that would be up for CAG Scott Pilgrim online game/s when the add-on comes out this week.

I just KNEW this guy had to be a relatively fresh-face here on CAG, LOL.


My contribution to the actual backlog talk is that, of the games I hope to someday "play until its dead to me" I'm looking at somewhere around 50--give or take a dozen--and that's physical, current-gen only; when I think of my backlog, this is the brunt of what I consider to count. I probably have at least two dozen or so XBL/PSN/Indie titles that I consider "hoping to finish", but I rarely consider any of these for my official count. And I don't count any older gen games since we have no room in the current apartment to setup any of the old systems, otherwise I could possibly see my backlog just-barely hitting the triple digits.

From the people that have chimed-in so far, I feel somewhere in the middle, almost bordering on hoarding but not as bad as some. That's a pretty good feeling to walk away from this with I think.

Ugh, even with this sale, the SFxT DLC ends up costing $42, and that's not including any of the gems.. Just don't think it's in the budget this week since I have to buy my books for this semester. Do you think they'll put these DLCs on sale again? (Seeing as they've never put SFIV DLC on sale and the MvC3 stuff has only been on sale once, I'm guessing that's a no) I know Capcom isn't allowed to release another version of this game so a Super Street Fighter x Tekken is out of the question, I think.

That plus the outrage over the whole "everything's on the disk anyways" fiasco (as well as the ridiculous amount of money-milking DLC from this game) might be enough to drive me to pass and/or use less scrupulous methods.

Also, sign me up for that Scott Pilgrim Online Session, I have all of the other 15 achievements and all my characters (including Knives) at max stats/level/techniquest so I gotta do the same with Wallace.

Just a heads up to the american audience....Dragon Age 2 can indeed be purchased through the hungarian account for 400 points if you are in america.

Soooo.... Scott pilgrim Dlc WILL cost 400 points? Lame

Just noticed the change on Major Nelson's blog as well. Lame indeed. Time to wait on a sale.

That's a shame. Definitely going to wait on it now then.

I'm going to say no for 360 as Capcom rarely discounts anything but the downloadable fighters on 360. Discounts are more frequent for their fighting game costumes on PSN.

But if the DLC isn't too long then it'd be nice to have played the complete version of the game. I don't know how long the DLC will still be available or if it will ever go on sale again so I feel like this is the time to get it or not. Then again, I only paid like $12 for the game itself so dropping another $10 for just the DLC doesn't seem super worth it unless its fun.

Originally Posted by kdiddy1989 I grabbed both DLCs without ever playing the game because I've heard good things...$12 is a steal on the game! After buying the DLC, I've been looking around and can't seem to find it for lower than $25 (and that's used), 5 over my buying price. At least I can sit and wait because i have the DLC now...I really expected this to be around the $20-30 range by now for a new copy.

Just beware on Dead Kel that once you start it, you can't leave the island it takes place on until you beat the DLC main campaign as you're stranded on the island.

I guess that takes me out of it too. $5 is as much as I paid for the base game. I bit too pricey for me, especially given that the SP stuff seems to go on sale frequently enough I think I can get this on the cheap within the year.

Avatar Football is on sale for $1 now through February 5.

Must-buy game if you are a sports fan.

On the subject of backlogs: I am truly confident that I will pass away before I even bother trying every game I own, given that I've piled on deal after deal since this site cursed my existence in 2004. Though the game spending has slowed down over the last 12-15 months, to the potential dismay of whoever inherits my mess.

I was holding out hope the MM9/10 discounts would either be "corrected" or bitched about enough to force another cut; looks like I'm SOL.

I just found out that xbox 1 games are now 800 msp and not 1200 anymore. cool

i would say more than 10 in the backlog is hoarding, unless you were given a lot of games for christmas

Xbox live reward for February is confirmed as what was said before

"Earn 200 in February, get 200 Microsoft Points when you rent or buy five HD Movies, seven HD TV Shows, or one TV Season Pass on Xbox Video!"

No more waiting for a good reward, guess its time to get me a thong of virtue.

On a side note, is ReddJoey OK? Just saw that it said remember him on the main post?

Dammit, I just got a tv season pass last week. Oh well.

Caught up in the incident, Joey got in the gorilla's way and practically got mauled. It was pretty gruesome. Not really. He just passed the torch since school and work have taken over his time.

A reenactment of the events that unfolded...
