Lol, oh god. This is what I was afraid of. I'm all for letting us get off-topic but remaining in the realm of XBLM stuff, but this cannot be a "let's be friends and play these games on XBL" thread because I know people are gonna have a problem with it, and attribute it to the general off-topicness of this thread. If I thought that was okay in here, you'd have seen a ton of posts to that effect by now, lol.
So I think the rule should be, if you have something OT and constructive to say and just kinda add a little note like that at the bottom (no need for spoiler tags), that's fine. But a post in here should not be primarily to plan such things.
Is everyone cool with that?
I just don't want to see a whole page of posts just saying "Oh add me on Iron Brigade, gamertag is Blahblahblah". I think that'd make everyone happy.
OT: I was right about Catherine being the GoD of the week. Does anyone know if it's eligible for the promo?
Also, gonna remove last week's sales now that they're no good. And officially update the Recently Reduced with what I saw on my dashboard last night. Did anyone else notice that Sonic Adventure is in the September AND October tabs? Guess October needed another "price drop" for the page.
Tangent: Part of the Double Fine sale, Brutal Legend for 360 is $10 from the Double Fine site (unsure of shipping and such) and the SIGNED edition for 360 is $20. I assume it just is signed with no other bonus. Also, sad that Psychonauts is only on sale on Steam.
Off-topic: Am also up for Iron Brigade action and such, though I probably need to level up some more. Gamertag's to the left. Will most likely not be on tonight, letting my dad enjoy the birthday copy of Dishonored I gave him.

Who cares how off topic people get. If you're not interested in playing Iron Brigade with them read on, it shouldn't bother you none.

Agreed. I've never understood why people get so upset over off-topic posts. Unless they're taking up several pages and are comprised of nothing but spam, it only takes a few seconds at most to scroll past them.

Yeah, I don't have any problem with it. I don't have any desire to play it online and don't even particularly care for the game, so if I see someone mention it I just skip over their post.

Okay, fine. Let me rephrase my request, which re-reading it, I can see how you can think that such posts bother me.
Do I PERSONALLY mind? No, I'd be right there with you. What I was trying to say was that if I thought it was okay for this topic to become something like that, I would have been making posts like that already (since I've been tempted to many times).
Can I see people making complaints about it? Yes. Only a few pages back some people were saying how unhappy they were with how off-topic this topic gets already (and how many pages there are because of it), and as I said, I think the current level of off-topicness is okay, and I don't see there being legitimate grounds for any intervention.
I was just trying to suggest a rule that would avoid a future problem, and limit any "technical" rule-breaking. And also, myself and the other volunteers who maintain this thread weekly want this thread to inform and be as helpful to as many people as possible.
And let's face it, there are several people on this site who are sticklers when it comes to forum rules, particularly in the "deals" section. *cough* Gargus *cough*
This thread is so big and constantly maintained that we tend to get some leniency when it comes to off-deal topic discussion, but if the scenario I am afraid of starts coming up, I can absolutely see people complaining which may ultimately result in this thread's discussion being moderated, etc. Which is you know, bad.
Does that make sense?
Edit: Please tell me someone else gets that I'm just trying to be accomodating to those opposed to all this off-topic discussion. And I'm not complaining, I'm clarifying and explaining a legitimate opinion. Huge difference, imo. I'm not a thread policeman, damnit. It was just a suggestion, I was asking for feedback to a middle-of-the-road approach meant to cut down on post count, which is something that has already been complained about in here.
I'm not sure why, but such an accusation really frustrates me. Was I not one of the first people a number of pages back to offer up my GT for FX2? I'm obviously in favour of such a thing, but am trying to think about what's best for everyone.

You're wasting a ton of page space complaining about it mr. thread policeman.
Seeing people get off topic and discuss setting up some online groups makes me interested to buy that game/DLC. So I thank you OT posters!
Some good sales this week. I need to take a break from Pokemon White 2 (message me for FC) to try sone demoes.
Also, I highly suggest Costume Quest and its DLC. It's a great game to get you in the Halloween spirit plus some nice avatar items.

I also am a huge fan of the off topic posting in this thread, it's why I come here. In fact, there are about a half dozen people that post here on my friends list from the last time Iron Brigade and its DLC went on sale.
We added each other in the same fashion many here are doing now and I don't regret it one bit. The Martian Bear DLC (and the game) really IS a whole lot more fun and accessible with teamwork and cooperative play.
Even though I finished off Iron Brigade and the achievements, I would offer to play with anyone but I'm waiting for Microsoft to make me an offer I can't refuse to re-up my gold account that expired last Saturday.

[quote name='SonictheHedgehog1337']Do you guys think the Dead Island DLC is worth it?
I can trade in my vanilla copy for $16 at GS and I can buy the GOTY copy for $20 at Best Buy. Is the DLC worth $4?
(GOTY is $20 with @gamer coupon at BB. The approximate $16 GS TIV is for pure unlocked members).[/QUOTE]
No. The arena mode is ok for XP grinding and the grinder bat is a decent beginning weapon, but the Ryder White DLC is shit.
FYI everything but the Ryder White DLC was in the GS-exclusive pre-order special edition (DLC voucher code) of the game if you can find a copy w/code at your local store (it has a red cover and says Dead Island Special Edition on it.)

Just try the demo. The game is awesome, but it's a little bit different. Make sure to play through the whole trial and see if you start finding the gameplay addictive. If you don't, the game might not be for you.
For what it's worth, I hated the Keflings demo the first time I played it, but loved it the 2nd time.

Its a fantastic game. You'll easily get $5 worth of fun from it. It's a great way to you unwind after playing more intense games. You just play at your own pace and enjoy. I know a bunch of people who were sure they weren't going to like it, but ended up loving the game.

Those opposed to all the off-topic discussion should be taking it to a mod rather than letting a conversation about it drag on here. And knowing the mods here, they'll probably delete everything in sight without paying any attention to what the problem was to begin with. Just think, you might get what you want!

I agree, I also enjoyed the original Toy Soldiers a lot more than the sequel. It is much longer and requires more thought/less eye-hand coordination. I also found the World War I theme and setting more enjoyable. While still a little silly, it feels more historical than the overall camp of Cold War.

My personal opinion about this thread (and also seems like most peoples opinion) is the OP should obviously stay completely on topic to deals but the thread itself it pretty much anything XBLA related goes. If everyone stayed on topic in here there would be a couple posts on Tuesdays but then the thread would die out, how we have it now it's actually worth visiting this thread every day for the discussions going on.

Lots of good sales this week. Picked up Mercury Hg, good game so far, likely going to play in short bursts. Going to pick up the stacking DLC too. Any opinions on Happy Action Theater? Is it something thats only good to play in groups? How about Toy Soldier: Cold War, worth picking up in general?

It's really fun with a group, either of kids or adults who like acting silly. It's definitely the best game around for very little kids since there's no goals whatsoever. More of an interactive toy than a game in that sense. But my two kids (2 and 4) adore it and every group of adults I've shown it to has had fun with it as well.

My personal opinion about this thread (and also seems like most peoples opinion) is the OP should obviously stay completely on topic to deals but the thread itself it pretty much anything XBLA related goes. If everyone stayed on topic in here there would be a couple posts on Tuesdays but then the thread would die out, how we have it now it's actually worth visiting this thread every day for the discussions going on.[/QUOTE]
This is a wonderful thread and shouldn't be changed. Although a title change could help smooth out the issue some people have with it being off topic. Besides that this is likely one of the most useful and best threads on this website.

[quote name='Ryuukishi']It's really fun with a group, either of kids or adults who like acting silly. It's definitely the best game around for very little kids since there's no goals whatsoever. More of an interactive toy than a game in that sense. But my two kids (2 and 4) adore it and every group of adults I've shown it to has had fun with it as well.[/QUOTE]
Thanks for the input.
Actually something else I was wondering. Why don't we keep track of upcoming releases anymore? I liked that feature and was actually wondering if I should just get some of the games on sale or wait to see if anything interesting is coming out soon.

[quote name='thenutman69321']Seemed like it bothered you so my bad on that. If you're tempted to go off topic then go for it, who cares.

You know what they say. White people love getting offended for other people. :lol: But I agree, the thread is fine how it is, and stifling communication would just keep it from being bumped all the time.

Pid looks amazing. Some of the Might & Delight staff have previously worked on Bionic Commando Rearmed.
Good to hear it's only 800msp.
edit: New Pid trailer shows the differences between Normal and Hard difficulties:

CAGiversary!
Grabbed the Iron Brigade DLC. I love this thread.
I can't recommend Costume Quest highly enough! One of the best games on XBLA. October is a great time to get into this one.

[quote name='ooga']Not specifically what you're talking about. Mine however, keeps asking me to verify my account (via phone/text) every so often. It's a pain in the ass. I hope it's not a "feature" they want to retain in the final release.[/QUOTE]
You'll probably validate for the final release, but that would be it. They're basically ensuring that the "proofs" remain current, and with each new Dashboard release, there's a hard-coded prompt to validate the security info. Once the "proofs" are kept up-to-date, then piracy & game-sharing will theoretically be dropping down, since they can better manage who is logging in on which accounts.
Oh, and speaking of the Dashboard, remember tonight is the VP debate, so tune in for at least 30 minutes on your 360 (plus for 2 other debates) for the Rewards' avatar armor!

[quote name='SonictheHedgehog1337']Do you guys think the Dead Island DLC is worth it? I can trade in my vanilla copy for $16 at GS and I can buy the GOTY copy for $20 at Best Buy. Is the DLC worth $4? (GOTY is $20 with @gamer coupon at BB. The approximate $16 GS TIV is for pure unlocked members).[/QUOTE]
I'd think so! You get a whole campaign + an overpowered weapon for your low-level char's + an arena to grind within ... all for $4? You're never going to see the vanilla game go for so much (especially at 1 year from release), so I'd take while you can ... the ability to resell the GOTW will also be greater as well.

[quote name='Felder71']Darkstalkers 1 and 3 coming to XBLA early next year! Super psyched! But where is SF Alpha?[/QUOTE]
I guess there was confusion as to which games were included in Darkstalkers Resurrection. It's actually going to be 2 and 3.
