[quote name='aaronrodgers']Doesn't Trine 2 have a bunch of DLC to purchase? It's why I'm hesitant to buy it, when the Wii U is supposed to have all that included, plus a bunch of enhanced new stuff.[/QUOTE]
The DLC you mentioned for Trine 2 is only available for the PC and the Wii U. It is unlikely to come to any other consoles.
Though i would caution you that yes it does have more content on the Wii U but if you're at all interested in online play with it then the Wii U is likely a bad bet as I heard that there's not one soul ever on there playing Trine 2. I'm not sure if it's much better on Xbox, being an older game, but I'm sure you'd have a lot better luck online there. So it does depend on what you're looking for. Also the Magic Mayhem mode that was promised with the Wii U title didn't arrive at launch, with no idea of when it might be updated. Not sure if it'll be part of the update Frozenbyte promised would come out mid-December which was meant to fix the gamma problem the game had, not sure if that update has come out either. But IMHO as it stands basically the Wii U version is the Xbox version with the PC DLC. It's $20 vs $5 though which as a CAG seals the deal for me. Also note that you're looking at close to a 2GB download on the Wii U so if you were planning on planting it onto your harddrive room will likely be tight.
By the way has anyone had issues buying Rayman Origins? It shows as $9.99 on the page but when I go to pay it shows up as $19.99. Annoys me as I've moved to Australia with my North American Xbox and the PAL disc is region-locked so I can't buy it from a store here.

[quote name='rapsodist']I think those of you who don't like Fez may be missing the point. You can certainly judge it as something not worth your time, but take care in how you make that judgement. I'd hazard a guess that you first seek and prioritize complexity and innovation in your gameplay, as most do naturally. Fez is made for gamers who are looking for an altogether different sort of game--something simple but pure in its existence and experience.
For example, a Christopher Nolan or J. J. Abrams movie is something great that I can recommend to everybody because it represents the best of all aspects of filmmaking and entertainment, but I'd take care in whom I recommend a Wim Wenders or Terence Malick film. The latter directors make great films but they're not for everyone. And that's the thing: great art doesn't have to be for everyone. This sort of distinction is something that's largely lacking in the gaming community; we're still tied to the idea that a game's worth is based solely on whether we like it or not and whether we think everyone else will like it, too. Yes, games should be fun, but we should also try to think about games as more than entertainment and examine them using the same methodology we apply to other media (e.g. critical theory and art movements).
Anyway, I think I've defended and spoken more about Fez than I've ever intended to. :lol:[/QUOTE]
Excellent analogy. I bought FEZ at launch and don't regret it. It's a great game.
To my surprise I'm passing on a few of the games I thought I was going to buy like Frogger for now. They really should have let us play more than one mode in the trial. RAW was boring and I wished I was playing Torchlight while playing it so I'll stick to that instead. I did buy Joe Danger 2 since I liked the demo and own the first game.
I'm going to play the trials for Mark of the Ninja and Trine 2 but I'm assuming I'll buy both. I'll have to see what else is on sale.
For whoever mentioned passing on RB3 because they like to bring their disc to other people's houses, thank you for reminding me that I do the same. That saved me $10.

For RB3 you could always just throw the game and DLC on a USB stick, that's what I did.

Damn, these deals are excellent. Shame i already got all of these before.
At least downloaded the new Trials Evo dlc - Riders of Doom. A lot of content for just 400msp, but boy, they sure are raised up time requirements for Gold and Platinum medals. Much harder than base game and first dlc pack.

I'm having the same issue, I'm in Canada. it shows 9.99 on the website, when I go to purchase, BAM 19.99.
EDIT: Noticed when I change it from en-us to en-ca, it shows as 19.99, I guess they don't want my money.

Insta-bought Mark of the Ninja, I'll download the Fez demo at home to make up my mind...
One question: how is the SmartGlass implementation in Mark of the Ninja? I saw something to download through the app in the game's page, so I was wondering if you can use your portable device to display maps, inventory or the like... that would be very cool

got mark of the ninja as well... i think i'm done for the shopping season. picked up serious sam 3, rock band 3, assassin's creed 2 at the last sale, and now mark of the ninja. might pick up some fruit ninja dlc.
i'm at the point that my 250 GB is maxed out with DLC. almost no game installs. pretty sad. i don't want to be in a situation where i'm deleting a 5GB GoD in order to download a 4GB GoD.

Trine2 is a good, beautiful game. Also, the achievements are pretty easy. For that price is a steal.

I think the best way to judge a game (short of playing it yourself) is to watch someone you know/trust play it. I suggest checking out the Giant Bomb Quick Look of Mark of the Ninja is you're still on the fence.

Picked up Trine 2 without hesitation. I held back on it last time it was on sale so I'm happy to get it for even cheaper this time around.
Going to hold off on Mark of the Ninja. I'm sure it'll be on sale again (Humble Bundle perhaps?) and maybe by then I can actually complete all the other XBLA games I have stored up. You know you have a lot of XBLA games when you have to go to the purchase page just to check to see if you've already purchased it. I almost bought Rayman 3 HD again this morning.

[quote name='SonicXtreme']I wouldn't say better. some of them are just challenges. some of them are like, a sort of 'paint the board' type things, they might add a little spice to multiplayer but in single player i wouldn't say they add too much.
also load times are really bad and freezes/glitches run rampant, it's the only arcade game i'm genuinely pissed they never patched (since my fez game has seemingly gone unscrewed up lol). can i recommend it any less? the art style and aesthetics are really cool. which is how i got suckered into buying it lol but if i could swap it for the barebones arcade port on xbla i would in a second, the load times are just stupid for a 'pickup for 5 minutes then do something else' game like this and it just freezes/glitches too darn much. but i'm a sucker for art/aesthetics so i bought day 1 before message board topics about glitches and freezes were at my disposal.[/QUOTE]

I'm just like you. I will be debating Frogger and RAW throughout the sale, when they were first announced I thought I'd buy them for sure. I'd like to hit 2000 MSP for December so I can get the 100 points back, more than likely the Borderlands 2 Season Pass will get me there, unless it's not discounted enough for me to want to pick it up.

You were booted back to the dash? Early in the game there is a fake game crash, but I didn't think it booted you all the way back to the dash. That's odd.
As for glitches on Fez, I definitely ran into serious stuttering when I started transitioning rooms in the later levels, but I don't think the game ever crashed on me. It did, however, delete my save file. But that was after I had 200/200 it so I don't really care.

[quote name='topplehat']Pass, it's all style and no substance. The gameplay is surprisingly bland.[/QUOTE]
That was my thought from the demo. Trying too hard to be funny with really annoying, childish, and over the top humor. Might have found it fun when I was 12. Hell Yeah just didnt work for me at all.
I bought mark of the ninja right away. I would have been happy at 800 for it, at 600 you couldn't stop me from grabbing it! Also nabbed rayman origins. Tried the demo at target and really liked it.
Tried the fez and trine 2 demos again. I wasnt super impressed with either demos a while back. Fez got me this time. The music is very haunting and beautiful and the gameplay makea you think while still being a relaxing and fun experience.
Trine 2 still bored me so I will pass.

[quote name='eastx']Third-party hard drives only go up to 320 GB, the current maximum size of 1st party drives. I'm rocking a 7200 RPM 320 GB drive and games load faster than on a regular HDD, which is nice.[/QUOTE]
I want a TB. At least.
I had to uninstall every disc game last night to free up enough space on my 250 for this sale.

[quote name='metallicoholic']Picked up Trine 2 without hesitation. I held back on it last time it was on sale so I'm happy to get it for even cheaper this time around.
Going to hold off on Mark of the Ninja. I'm sure it'll be on sale again (Humble Bundle perhaps?) and maybe by then I can actually complete all the other XBLA games I have stored up. You know you have a lot of XBLA games when you have to go to the purchase page just to check to see if you've already purchased it. I almost bought Rayman 3 HD again this morning.[/QUOTE]
Haha, I did the same but by complete accident. I got the trial of Trine 2 and bought it immediately after without even thinking. I also downloaded all the other trials, I might end up getting everything but Sonic.

We should start a club. I deleted all of my disc games with the exception of one and I still am dangerously close to filling up my 250. And my disc drive is starting to get real loud when discs are in

:lol: I haven't gotten there yet, but I definitely need to start playing my XBLA games more. I'm going to hold off on Mark of the Ninja myself, I'm sure it will see many future sales even if its priced at 800 instead of 600.
For these sales it looks like RAW, Fez, and Deadlight are the games for me. I already picked up RAW because I'm in a dungeon crawler phase, and I'm debating whether or not to pick up Fez. I like the design, we'll see. Deadlight is reminiscent of Flashback and Out of this World, I always loved those type of games, so I'll pick this one up even if it's not as good as those classics.

Mark of the Ninja is a solid game of the year contender. Anyone on the fence should pick it up. Considering how uninspired the Shank games were, I was shocked to see the same studio put out Ninja. They solved almost all of the issues that make stealth games sound cool in principle and end up boring or frustrating in practice. With my 500+ game backlog, I almost never replay games once I finish them, but as soon as I finished Ninja, I started replaying it to get all the achievements and extend my time with the game.
[quote name='Stellar Inertia']Its not just the graphics the trial was boring as hell and I prefer games with more than a couple buttons being used. To me no classic games age well. As much as I would like to play Streets of Rage, Sonic classics, Fez, among others.....its just not happening since they are boring as hell and have no skill involved just luck.[/QUOTE]
Actually, older games required much more skill. It may seem like luck to those that never took the time to become good at them. I can dig that you don't enjoy certain types of games but to state they require no skill is a bit ignorant.
