Out of pocket expenses, it cost me nothing. Obviously it wasn't free and MS got paid, but I sure as shit didn't pay them.

I get you but technically it did cost you something. Would have to type way too much on here to explain.

Enjoy the game though. I got it last year and kids and I loved it.

Just finished the Battlefront 2 campaign, wasn't super long, did the 3 missions early in EA Access and also was on the hardest difficulty, outside of a few bad checkpoints, like 1/2 glitches/problems, and a weird difficulty jump at one point, I absolutely loved it, I enjoyed the games campaign far more then The Force Awakens easily, it was awesome, I'll definitely replay it in the future!

Approx how long?

 
This 'sale' is REALLY bad. All games are priced about $10-$15 more than last year during this exact sale. Not to mention, retail stores are charging less for the exact same games. XBOX really disappointed this year.

It might not be the case for recent AAA games, but I have bought a couple smaller games that are $5-$10 cheaper than the cheapest price on the spreadsheet.

Opportunity Cost?

She got $20 for free and spent $20 to get a game. The $20 was limited to Steam. So not like she could buy food with it or pay for the essentials.

Is the same opportunity cost lost if the original person just gave her the $20 game she wanted in the first place?

I loved this sale. Wolf 2 for $30, Evil Within 2 for $30. Several other new games have great prices. What were you expecting? And of course physical games will have lower prices. Are you new to this?

Seriously, it is a XBone thing, as in how the public reacted to it, but I don't see how locking gameplay changes behind a RNG system was any innovation though (as I previously felt that's what Microsoft was thinking with the online centric device back when XB1 launched).
Click to expand...
I don't really look back at the Xbone announcement as innovation. Sure, there were definitely some in there but they came with too many strings attached, and the whole package was so tone deaf to what their customers wanted that it was ridiculous. Forced Kinect that made the price $500 and daily online DRM check-ins.

Nothing is innovative about Battlefront 2 or its attempts to entice customers to buy lootboxes.

The main reason I may keep my BF 2 pre-order is the space combat. It’s phenomenal. I’ve been craving a game with something like it for years. CoD Infinite Warfare did a really good job at it in the campaign and wish they had added it to MP. I’m doubting Activison will revisit futuristic combat anytime soon with the response to WW2 being so positive.

She got $20 for free and spent $20 to get a game. The $20 was limited to Steam. So not like she could buy food with it or pay for the essentials.

Is the same opportunity cost lost if the original person just gave her the $20 game she wanted in the first place?

In essence it wasn't free because she gave up $20 she could have used to buy $20 worth of stuff.

Opportunity Cost- the loss of potential gain from other alternatives when one alternative is chosen.

This 'sale' is REALLY bad. All games are priced about $10-$15 more than last year during this exact sale. Not to mention, retail stores are charging less for the exact same games. XBOX really disappointed this year.

Not too much if anything jumps out at me this year. I spent a bunch more last.

I think partly I have added enough to my backlog of games I REALLY want to play but just haven't been motivated to start over the last year. Not just games that were dirt cheap and maybe I will some day play them but likely not.

I was interested in the Game Stop PowerPass thing and planned to sign up today but that is no more.

Might take what is left of my GS credit and pick up 2 of the following 3 games. (I have a bit less then $50 credit).

Destiny 2 is $27 at GS I think was some statue I don't care about. 50/50 I will grab this actually.

More likely pick up Shadow of War and Wolfenstein 2 for $25 each at GS. It is a short walk from a GS when visiting my parents on Thanksgiving. Hopefully the line will not be too bad and they don't run out of these games.

But she did buy $20 in stuff. She bought a $20 game.

Maybe if it was real money or a Visa/MC gift card I could see your point. But it wasn't. She was locked into buying some digital game somewhere.

Agree to disagree as you're not getting it. Have a nice day.

I loved this sale. Wolf 2 for $30, Evil Within 2 for $30. Several other new games have great prices. What were you expecting? And of course physical games will have lower prices. Are you new to this?

I know not everyone takes advantage of game sharing, and for some people trading in discs is convenient and rewarding. I always end up sitting of a stack of games waiting for a good gamestop promo. For me, $40* for a new release that my brother, his kids, and I am interested in playing IS a good deal. Take 20% off from discounted credit, magnifique!

Speaking of which.. All you snobs complaining that BB or Walmart has the game $5 cheaper, so you have a regular supply of even 10% off gift cards? If you plan your purchases in advance at all, discounted xbox credit often brings digital sales in line with physical. Plus the advantages of game sharing and not switching discs.


*In for WolfII deluxe, South Park, and Dishonored collection. On the fence about NFS, ACO, and Bioshock.
 
So far this year I bought 135 games (and an additional one I got preordered) and I probably beat like 10 or so games total this year. So by now everytime I buy a game this plays in my head.

Yes! I haven’t played the endurance mode but the Baba Yaga DLC is really good and added about three hours for me.


Is Tomb Raider anniversary or legend that’s the prequel to Underworld?

This sale may not have had everything I wanted, but I was very happy to see Wolfenstein 2, The Evil Within 2 and NFS Payback at great prices ($30, $30 and $35.99). It’s only $5 more than what BB is charging on BF for the first two and $1 more for NFS. To have digital for a $5 or less “tax” is more than reasonable.

I honestly thought we’d see more around the $40 mark for those games.

So to say this is a “bad” sale is completely inaccurate to me, other than wishing there were some different games like Forza 7 in it.

See what you did Larry Hyrb!? You gave us bad deals and now the entire family is tearing itself apart. Brothers fighting brothers over what a girl spends money on....Randoms voicing their displeasure with sale prices....Shame and guilt over past purchases running rampant....soon we’ll be debating politics and sports again. Why Larry??? Why!???

I mean, it wasn't money I could spend on groceries.

These big sales always bring the lurkers out of the woodwork. On date night, there's ~150 people viewing the thread (many who are guests), and there are less than 30 daily regulars.

135 games? If you only paid $20 each for them, that's still $2700.

All I'm saying is, gifting is a thing now, if you have so much money to spend on games you don't play ^_^

https://venturebeat.com/2017/11/16/star-wars-battlefront-ii-microtransactions-go-offline-until-ea-can-make-changes/

This is from yesterday, a pretty big deal if it's true, I don't think the people as high up as Iger ever deal with these licensing deals directly. If it is true, I think that is a good sign that EA will be force to try and make Disney's fans happy, which probably means cosmetics only. I could also mean EA is on thin ice with their poor handling of Star Wars. Sure, BF1 had a lot of sales, but they should have at least 1 more game out by now, or very close.

Disneyland has the worst DLC. $100 for the base ticket to the park and then endless loot boxes once inside.

If you paid $5 each that'd still be $675.

And something tells me some of them were MSRP, some of them were fire sales, not all of them were that cheap, so you still spent at least $700 on things you haven't used so my point still stands.

As to the rest of it:

I finally bit on the Ezio Collection. I've been on an AC kick the last couple years. I started off with Black Flag and I've played all the newer entries ever since, except for Unity, which I own but haven't started yet. Syndicate and Origins were fucking fantastic games, especially Origins. I encourage everyone to buy that one when you get a chance.

I'm happy to pick up the DLC to Deus Ex: HR.  89 cents for 4-6 hours of a good game that a lot of people probably got for free from GWG. It also completes a dumb whole in the story of the base-game. Go out and get this one.

If we were to really break down my spending this year meaning everything gaming related (controllers, HDD, headsets, PSN credit, etc.) I spent a total of $1388 this year so far of actual money. Only games I bought MSRP or close to MSRP were Yakuza Kiwami for $24.07 and Persona 4 "Take Your Heart" Premium Edition for $59.70 and SNES Classic (UK) for $93.34. Thing I spent the most were probably those PCGameSupply 30% off PSN and eShop Gift Cards to help attribute to that total.

And I didn't do any flips or whatever. I Don't know, am I CAG'ing right?
