Picked up Blood Dragon, waiting until later to pick up Battleblock, wallet has taken a pounding. If nothing major pops up I'll still grab it. 

Lots of good games today though, definitely look into them if you've passed until now. Wonder if that Fast and Furious game will sell better because of recent events.

 
would you rather: AMY or Dead Block?


I heard dead block was shit. More so cause it was only split screen MP.
 
Dark Souls always looked cool, but i heard it was really hard. But i might bite on Battleblock theater instead. But is Battleblock Theater fun with only one player offline? My gold is running out this month and i dont intend on getting more.

 
The only game for me that stays under $10 (I am in Australia) is Men In Black. That looks like the only one for me. I already have the arcade games and Dark Souls in my back list.

It was awesome hard then they made it 4x easier cause to many cried. You still die but now it feels to easy imo. I liked it super hard. Enjoy being invaded by all the modders with infinite health.

 
This song isn't even in Fast and Furious: Showdown. I Don't even know why they made this game when they can't even get the barest of bare minimum in.

Damn.  I know it wasn't listed by Maj. Nelson but I was still holding out hope that Artorias of the Abyss might also get a discount.

Maybe with all the new Gears owners I'll give multiplayer another try.   Whenever I've tried in the past, I was kicked immediately.  I figured that low-levels weren't welcome and/or people were boosting.

 
For a game with such universal acclaim by critics, I've been shocked to read such objections to Dark Souls by my fellow CAGs (I don't mean to invalidate anyone's opinions, and I'm thankful for the input). I haven't played it, but I am eagerly awaiting my return home tomorrow morning to begin downloading it. All this talk of excessive difficulty stokes my desire to conquer this game. I hope my enthusiam remains after I have been thrashed about for a few hours.
This is the right attitude to have before starting Dark Souls. This is my favorite game this generation and i can see how its not for everyone but I feel like everyone should at least try it. Graphically, yeah its muddy and kinda meh but that helped set the mood for me.

I always thought the difficulty was overrated. Its not easy by any stretch but its hard in the way old school games are hard. They just demand that you learn the levels and how to play it correctly.

Just play it expecting to die a lot but if you see it as a challenge that you enjoy defeating you will have a great time. That is exactly what the game is good at. Making you feel like king of the world for a few minutes and then humbling the shit out of you a few minutes later.
 
It's just a love-it-or-hate-it type of game. I didn't like the game but I don't think all the critical raves about it are wrong. I can understand and agree with the reasons people adore it so much. It's just not the kind of experience that I personally am looking for from a video game. I am glad I tried it for myself though.

 
I keep thinking I need to save my msp for the 12 days sales... Battleblock looks fun but my backlog is huge as it is
This^

I know Dark Souls is a steal at $5 but I wanna save for the 12 days because it's right around the corner.

Also TWD Season 2, where is it!?!?!?

Can we use our credit cards or paypal accounts to just pay the remaining portion, or is it like before where it would have to be in certain increments like you have to add $5?
I just did this with my purchase of Mark of the Ninja (via my 360). My Microsoft Account option was gray because I was $0.16 short. I had to select my card payment. When I selected my Pay with my Card option it popped up a screen ascking me "Do you want to apply your Microsoft Account Balance first?" I selected Yes, and my Visa got charged the $0.16.

 
It does indeed work - the screen will appear if you select "Confirm Purchase" with your card/PayPal selected as the payment method. Used that method to spend my 1.41 Microsoft Account balance so I only had to pay 1.58 for the 2.99 Onechanbara on Friday.

Word of warning just in case: Selecting "Confirm Purchase" still means you commit to buying the item. So on the screen where it asks if you want to apply your Microsoft Account balance, if you select No or press B to go back, it'll charge your card/PayPal the full amount for the item.

So it was asked by someone else if we could use our remaining ms balance first and pay the rest with a card. I was trying to do this for something the other night that was more than my balance. The option to pay with my balance was grayed out and only the option to pay with my card was selectable. Someone said this could be done but I don't see how. Can anybody explain how to do it?

Edit: Answered while I was writing my post. Thanks guys! Now to go home & blow a bunch of money

Thanks OP, these are the kinds of deals Nintendo should be trying to match :( I would have bit on The Cave for Wii U in a second at that price. 

Anyway, picked that up, along with Dark Souls and Battleblock Theater, for the 360, 3 great games for under $15 bucks. Awesome deal. 

 
so automatically renewing gold is not the way to go...because i pay full price and i dont get the 3000 credits?

Are you talking about the punchcard thing? I just used a 12 month card and got the 3000 credits added to my account.
 
Yes, you can get the credit.  This is what you need to do

You need to be signed up for rewards.

You need to renew, either from the xbox auto renewal or a code

You get your 3,000 point after your current membership expires and you new one kicks in.

For example, mine expires on Dec 27.  I just renewed today thanks to the eBay code.  I will not get my 3,000 points until after Dec 27th. Most likely January

 
Well since TWD 2 is coming out this month, I hope that means season 1 will be on sale soon.

Is there a load screen when you die in Dark Souls? And if so, how long is it?

I only ask because I hate games that punish you for dying with a long load screen.

 
Game Stop steal of the week for 12/31 will be 50% off any preowned game. Would make Diablo III $24.xx with edge card. The coupon is 15,000 points though.
 
Is anyone else having trouble buying games on Xbox.com?  I have $130 in my account, but anytime I try to buy anything online, it tries to charge my CC with no option to use the credit in my account.  My 360 is out of commission until I get a new power brick, so I'm screwed there, it seems...

Yeah, it's been like that for everybody ever since they did the conversion from MS points to real money a few months ago. No fix in sight. Really stinks. I know I missed out on one of the one-day only black friday sales because of that (and because I refuse to add a CC to my account).

lol yup, my 360 is unable to connect to the internet (i'm on verizon connection) it seems comcast ran into issues earlier in November. I have credit in my account too, can't access Xbox Live and can't pay for things through Xbox.com, definitely avoiding Microsoft for next gen.

Curious as to what you guys are waiting for for the 12 days of Xmas sale? XBLA didn't exactly have a banner year like they did in 2012. I think Brothers and Charlie Murder looks cool, but are there really a ton of other games that interest you? Or are you hoping for more Games on Demand and such?

Damn.. I'm really looking to get a few of these games, but do I fork over the cash? Ugh...

I'm looking forward to Games on Demand. I like when they put weird retail games for under $5 that I would never play otherwise (ex: Bikini Zombie Samurai Squad)
 
Mass Effect 3 Citadel DLC is really big thing I want to go on sale. Otherwise; Marlow Briggs, Dungeons & Dragons, Minecraft and a few others are what I'm hoping for sales on. The fact that the goddamn XBLA Scene It game has never gone on sale confuses and angers me t o no end.

There were a few good arcade games this year. I'm hoping for a few good DLC sales too. Need to pick up pretty much all of Borderlands 2's stuff. Hopefully some decent priced GoD games too.

I'm fairly pleased with the sales from BF and today, more so than the usual performance. Hopefully we get some good shit out of the Christmas sale before they focus 98% on Xbone.

 
So don't buy it. Everyone here including myself has the addiction of buying more games than we'll ever have time to play, but few will buy games they know beforehand that they're 100% going to hate. Buy a delicious Subway sandwich or five iOS/Android apps or one of the other games on sale tomorrow. Battleblock Theater looks spiffy and I'm considering it myself. You know what? There'll be at least a few amazing Cyber Monday deals - I'd save my money for that.
As I read this post, I'm sitting here waiting for a sandwich to be delivered. :)

I have not bought Dark Souls. I'm pretty sure I'm not going to.

Yeah same here...and I'm pretty sure I have bought worse Games for more or the same amount of money...but not a single thing looks appealing to me to actually get the intension to play this...and normally I like Fantasy-oriented stuff...

I was going to compare it with Eternal Darkness on Gamecube but when I looked it up even that old game was more appealing and prettier than Dark Souls....lol I just can't buy it...I don't WANT to buy it....plus it would be stuck forever on my HDD and HDD space is rare even with two consoles a 320 GB and 120 GB...(the 120 GB serves as store for games/DLC I already finished but it's almost full too lol...+ my 2x 32 GB sticks ARE full with unplayed GonD)

 
Is Live getting ass hammered or something? I'm having the most ridiculously difficult time downloading Gears of War. It took all night just to download 50% and now it hasn't moved from 60% all day. What the fuck is the problem here?
