It seems that this year the countdown list of games is gonna be leaking later than usual :whistle2:k Because nothing can be found... yet.
Curious to see if any of the overpriced $20 arcade games go on sale. I doubt Minecraft will but maybe the others. Still hoping for Deathsmiles 2 as obviously with the Skullgirls chaos I won't be getting that. Maybe some GoD surprises would be cool. Don't want much so they'll have to make me impulse buy with crazy good deals.

 
I love how MS thinks they can combat PS plus by sometimes putting one lone game on sale that everyone has already played because it's a 7 year old game, and can be had for $5. Something more along the lines of gears 3, which is constantly dirt cheap anyway, would make better sense.

these freebies are just them throwing us bones so we can't say they never give free stuff lol.
Jesus, People are still complaining if you dont want the game dont download it. I get that they are giving us a 7 year old game but at least its something.

Just got done beating Cloudberry Kingdom (Well, I got to level 240. I haven't started the infamous Chapter 7 yet), and it was a blast! If you are a fan of platformers and don't mind a challenge I can't recommend it enough. 

Now, off to go be the first person in the world to beat Chapter 7! :whee:

 
I Thought they were always leaked around day of or week of.
Last year it was leaked on Dec 12th. And I don't remember exactly which day was the year before that, but it was around that time too.

Yeah hopefully they'll leak soon. I'm still on the fence about CoJ Gunslinger and NEED to get Peggle 2.
Get CoJ Gunslinger man, it's a great game, and for that price you can't go wrong.

Still hoping for Deathsmiles 2 as obviously with the Skullgirls chaos I won't be getting that.
I own Skullgirls, and really hope that the new updated version, when they finally upload it, will be compatible with mine. Because I really WANT to get those free DLC characters they'll release.

Thanks man. I'll probably get it. Ill have around $40 in credit on my account. Wanna make sure I have enough for the sale and peggle lol.
 
I'm pretty cool with Gears being free. I had it on my HD for years and had ZERO achievements for it. My cousin brought it over back in the day and we ended up playing it for like 10 minutes and quitting for some reason. Anyways....right now I'm at 24 cheevs and counting. Better than nothing at all right? I know I'm not gonna 100% this thing but I'll at least try to crack 30+. fuck grinding out 10,000 kills for that Seriously achievement. Too many games to play and aint nobody got time fo dat.

oh man I know all about those. I've played through every single GoW game, including Judgement, on Insane mode. I've never bothered tackling every single multiplayer achievment because I know I'll never, ever get those Seriously achievements so what's the point you know.

Actually 100.000 Kills in GoW2 are more easy than 10.000 Ranked Kills in GoW (especially since this achievement is buggy and some had to do around 19.000 Kills plus Annex Mode didn't count)

In Gow2 EVERY kill counts towards this achievement it doesn't have to be ranked...

 
Gears 1: Best MP, Second worst achievements. Mostly cause it was kinda glitchy and didn't count if certain amount of people left.
Gears 2: Best story. Easiest achievements. Beginning of resets.
Gears 3: Hardest achievements (time wise). Worst story. Second best MP.
Judgement: Easiest achievements Shortest story. Worst MP.

Gears 3 had the worst story?!?!?!?

 
Aside from it being my opinion. Yes. Worst story. Explained nothing. They amped it up so much to being the final game and left us in the dark. Made more questions than answers.
 
Hey look Gears discussion. Seriously 3.0 and Seriously 1.0 are the worst by far. The other two games are easy peasy. Have all of them done besides the event achievement in judgement. So in 6 months I am proud of myself. I have only boughten Dark Souls and Battleblock Theatre. Not much else has been interesting.

I've played Gears 3 extensively for over 2 years now. I'm talking about at least 5 hours a week since release and I'm nowhere close to getting Seriously 3.0. That stupid achievement is nothing but an annoying grind in a series filled with them.

 
Agree. Achievements like that are useless. So many of those play x amount of games can be done by leaving your XBox running all night. What fun is there in that? And if you really wanted them legit it would take like 10 years.

The only Seriously I would even think of getting is 2.0. Just load up the level with the Brumak and kill like 5000 grubs in 30 minutes then log off and do some another day.

Like others here I am hoping for more arcade game sales, since you can't buy them in store.

Now if the GonD "sales" are really good then that would be great too. But most of the time they end up costing more than a physical disc.

Hoping they have a bunch of good arcade titles on their sales next week.
Me too.

Since Walking Dead is already on sale next week, I hope some good Arcades are put up. I wouldn't mind seeing some other GonD games as well since they've been having pretty great deals on them lately.

From what I read on their forum they are thinking you won't have to do anything new with your version. But it's a weird situation. Like they have to remove Konami's name from everything and strange stuff. But they have said that the process with the 360 version has been easier than the PS3 version, for once LoL

At the very least they also have to change to communication codes or whatever they're called that are used for matchmaking. But MikeZ was saying that they're going to take the opportunity to finally bump both console versions up to date with the PC version, get Squigly to everyone, and possibly do a new set of achievements since they have to re-pass certification anyways and it's technically going to be a new version. We are almost 100% guaranteed to have to re-download the game, but that's not big deal as long as they get everything transferred properly.

Regardless, I'll be shocked if they get everything sorted out even by the end of January. At this point I'm glad I didn't end up donating to the IGG. I understand development having hiccups and whatever, that's why this started in the first place, but at a certain point you have to get your shit together. They gave an estimate of about 3 months per character, with Squigly being a bit shorter since she was started. At this point we're about SIX months past that first estimate, and are only now seeing results because of another massive clusterfuck. The more I see of MikeZ talk the more it seems like he doesn't really give a shit about the console versions, especially 360. That's great that they've got a way to beta test changes, but we shouldn't be lagging that far behind, even if they do only get money from the PC version because of the lawsuit.

 
Sooo, any thoughts on Telltale's Fable game...? There's been next-to-zero chatter about it on here. I was going to blindly pick it up a month ago when it first came out, but then I figured there was no harm in holding out to see if it showed up during the holiday sale(s).

I started getting into the comic and then got distracted after the first series/graphic novel and it sounds like that's what this game is mostly be based on, I think?

Anyone else read the comic and play it...? Any general thoughts? Anyone want to toss-out some terrible comparisons to how it's not [exactly] like The Walking Dead game? ;)


EDIT: Be-te-dubs, no one's mentioned yet that XBLDB.com has picked up ...wait for it... Marvel vs Capcom 3: Shadow Battle packs. Grab your popcorn, folks, we might be in for a good bitch-fest already. :beer:

Thanks for the info, those are good news :applause:

 
Gears 3: Hardest achievements (time wise).
And it would have the easiest achievements in the series, if not for Seriously tipping the balance all by itself. I've got everything in 3 except for Seriously and the level prestige ones, and I'm not even good at Gears. :lol:

that argument makes no sense. Dont complain because I have the option to not download it? That doesn't fix a thing...they already have my money lol. I dont think you quite understand the essence of the criticism, then...but, some will say anything to defend status quo -_-

I played through the first chapter and loved it, probably more so than The Walking Dead (which I rather enjoyed, but I think people go overboard with the praise for it). The "action" was much more fun than in TWD and I felt like the story was paced much better since there is this overarching mystery you are trying to solve. I don't have any familiarity with the comics it is based on, but it really pulled me in. Can't wait for chapter 2.

I though the first episode was excellent, and I already am expecting it to easily eclipse TWD by a good margin. I would certainly recommend it, probably even at full price, based off the first episode for anyone that didn't dislike the gameplay style of TWD (as they play very similarly ultimately, so if you disliked one you probably won't care for the other). Here's a slightly more in-depth review I put up on Steam, though it should apply to all versions and I played with a controller: http://steamcommunity.com/id/mrninjasquirrel/recommended/250320

For years XBL didn't offer any free games, so in my opinion anything they give away is an improvement. Yes perhaps not every game is recent or a great offer, but they are at least giving you more for your money than before so people complaining about the free games should really take a moment and remember how it used to be.
If anyone honestly subscribed to Gold just for the free games, well I feel that is just a poor move on their part.
 
Regarding Fables:

Snow White was my favorite character in Episode 1... So when she got killed at the end it affected me strongly (which is good), but it also kind of deflated my enthusiasm for continuing the story.

I enjoyed TWD a lot, and I liked Fables too, but the prospect of playing TWD Season 2 and Fables at the same time, with Game of Thrones and Borderlands in the pipeline too, it just feels like a bit much. I think I may need a bit of a break from the formula, maybe I'll wait on the rest of Fables until the season pass goes on sale.

And also keep in mind that if you stop paying for Live, you still get to keep the games, unlike PS+ where you have to keep paying to have access to the free games.

 
Really awaiting the 12 Days news.  I forgot last year and was ill-prepared.  I won't be this year.  They do some good sales throughout the year honestly, but almost never on stuff I actually want.  The 12 Days stuff tends to actually have stuff I want.

You spoiled brats can now resume crying because the free GWG game isn't a $60 that was released 1 month ago.
