i want return to arkham or arkham knight, which do you guys think is the better of the two?
Return, even if it was either of the games listed alone. fuck the Batmobile.

So far it looks like Rock of Ages 2 will be my lone purchase from the sale.

Having played Arkham Asylum and Arkham City (almost to the end) on PC and then playing parts on xbox one, I would recommend Return to Arkham. Granted I haven't played Arkham Knight, but you get 2 whole games and, as other posters have mentioned, it makes sense to play those first as they are the first 2 parts of the trilogy.
 
Gotta say, despite hearing it was better than the reviews, Elex is awful. Buggy, ugly and too complex for its own good. Glad I got it as a “rental” from GameStop.
 
The Witness is nice. Have it on PS4 (never finished....actually barely started) but am always more apt to play games on my X1X.

Dead Space 2 = EA Access.
 
Does GWG announcement mean no BC today? Know it usually doesn’t come until noon. Just didn’t want to get my hope up.

Maybe with Larry about to go on vacation, they’ll announce something big. :)

Or not...
 
I would’ve expected Unity not Syndicate. Good job.
Everyone who has an X1 has already picked up Unity for $1.00 or less


Ffunny enough, Cars 2 is only the second ever GWG I’ve owned digitally. For a 5 year run that’s pretty impressive.

So in looking for what to get to finish the Go West Xbox Live Rewards quest, I ended up putting together a list of stuff on sale this sale. Figured I'd share it in case anyone else was looking for stuff to complete it with. I think I've spent 5$ already thanks to No Country for Old Men but who knows thanks to the stupid wagon progress bar. I'll probably end up buying the Witcher 3 for the third time and the base version of The Phantom Pain for the second time. ( Or nothing, since I'd just be spending money to get half of it back which seems silly as I type it out.) Unless anyone want's to go to bat for the Minecraft story mode stuff or Fe.

Anyway here's the list. The rewards site isn't clear on platform so the games in RED are best guess since I don't think they have Xbox one stand alone versions.

Xbox One

Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag

Assassin's Creed Triple Pack: Black Flag, Unity, Syndicate, Assassin's Creed IV

Borderlands: The Handsome Collection

Fe

Mad Max

Metal Gear Solid V: The Definitive Experience

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

ReCore

Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration

Minecraft: Story Mode - The Complete Adventure (Episodes 1-8)

Minecraft: Story Mode - The Complete Season (Episodes 1-5)

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Complete Edition

Xbox 360

BioShock Infinite

Borderlands

Borderlands 2

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel

Red Dead Redemption

The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings
It looks like Cowboy Hat and Walton Gang Hat will get you to exactly $2 for the avatar item step. Are there other items that would hit that dollar amount without going much over?

Edit: Looks like the Fable: The Journey Gabriel Pants are also exactly $1. At least now I can get a hat and pants I'll probably never wear instead of 2 hats I'll never wear.

Just FYI. Syndicate gets $6 / $6.60 / $7.80 at GS for probably another 8.5 hours. Just returned Elex and traded it along with Darksiders towards a used DB Fighterz.
 
Hated it. Got it yesterday and it’s a buggy needlessly confusing mess IMO. Had heard it was better than the reviews but I agree with them in this case.
Thank you. Damn I wanted to try it. Ugh. Technomancer is another one that is like this. That jank is severe.

the GwG line up is pretty solid, I hope one day they run out of ass creed games though
I actually just sold Ac Syndicate after beating it. Bought the Witness a year or so ago & just finished it in January. Great GWG, It’s nice to have Dead Space 2 back since I played it long ago.

Bugs aren’t quite as bad as that but the game itself is not worth it. Not fun at all and menu driven complexity that is just too much for a game like it.

You can get an extra 20% if you trade towards XBL currency. Works on all games and accessories.

Cars 2 is my 4 year old sons go-to (and only Xbox) game because it's based off his favorite movie. I had to beat the game in order to unlock all the cars and tracks for him, and while it was fun for the first few races, it gets old and repetitive pretty quick. I'll play occasionally here and there with him but I can't see y'all enjoying it unless you have kiddos.

Definitely among the best kids games ever given through GWG though. My son could play all day if I didn't limit him.

Thanks for taking the hit for us. I was looking at Elex too, but sounds like I can safely avoid it.

Cars 2 is your son's favorite movie? 4 years old is not an excuse that is unacceptable.

I'd love to know if they are getting something from the Fortnite publisher for this or if they are simply capitalizing on the popularity of the game for free advertising just to sell stuff. Reminds me of Roseanne saying she has 20 wins in Fortnite right before her TV show revival debut.

As far as I know they're just capitalizing on the popularity. There's no particular Fortnite in game currency, and ingeneral when you buy digital games from retailers it's just XBL currency and there's no way to enforce the actual purchase of a particular game.

On the other hand, if I owned the rights to something and someone else tried to use the popularity of my product/service to make money, then I'd want a cut.
 
Any opinions on Elite Dangerous? I enjoyed the planet surface exploration in No Man's Sky but ED looks like its moreso focused on the space flight simulation aspect.  Also looking at Astroneer since it seems to be focused on planet surface activity.

Doom multi-player? Are you sure you're not thinking of a different game?
Doom has MP. I don’t play it but it’s there.

That said, I still haven’t finished the campaign so will be jumping back in when the update hits.

So far, Far Cry 5 has been underwhelming despite the largely positive reception. But I need to give it some more time. Maybe it’ll hook me yet.
 
I think Xbox marketing dropped the ball on this one.  Major posted the video of the sale yesterday:

Man I'm having so much fun playing it. Far Cry 5 I mean. Hit me up if you want to co-op.

This was just announced:
 
03e8fd6fd0d9a861004993f9f083a42e_310_KR.jpg


Synopsis:  A young man, about to participate in his village’s coming of age ceremony, travels to a Sacred Stone alongside his childhood friend. After a series of unexpected events, this intrepid adventurer learns he is the reincarnation of a legendary hero from a forgotten age.

They sure don't stray too far from their formula do they? :D  I thought for sure that this would be a :switch: exclusive, but it looks like I won't be needing to get one after all.  This is the FIRST pure DW/DQ made for this generation of consoles, and I can't be more excited!

EDIT - I could be more excited if they announce a non-SE store exclusive CE for it, but we'll see...
