Damn, I was hoping for 50% off - at the very least - on Sniper Elite 4 but nope. Maybe next week? A man can dream.

I'm assuming they won't be adding anything to the sale in the coming days? What we see is what we get?

Going to have to swim through the sales and see how much I'm going to buy. And to think I'm trying to make more room available on my hard drive. Damn.

 

I did see Life Is Strange Before the Storm though, so that's a definite at the very least.

 

There are a few things I want but on the fence if I should upgrade to the digital version of destiny 2. Haven't touched it in a couple weeks.

 

Does anyone recommend yooka laylee or is it as mediocre as it was made out to be? Saw that it's on clearance for $15 at one of my Targets.

If you're lucky, Yooka Laylee may be $8 if they forgot to mark it down. Picked it up at my Target for that price and saw it at another for the same price.

Gonna use the $1 Game Pass to test out Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons and ReCore.
 
Can you continue a game you began with a Game Pass subscription after purchasing it?

EA is possibly removing microtransactions from SW Battlefront II.
🤔

They might add some stuff on Tuesday maybe Black Friday. But what prices you see now will probably be the same til Cyber Monday.

 

I'm sticking with stuff under $25 though till the Christmas sale..  I might bite on Final Fantasy with pass at $30 though. 

 

There's a bunch of stuff I want to buy on xbox,  but I'm waiting til tomorrow to see what goes on sale on the playstation store.   I got a budget this year and I don't want to go over it. So I'm going to have to make some hard choices.

I find that hard to believe but would certainly welcome it.

Does sound like some European governments are looking into it as gambling though.

Do the early BF deals run through BF or is it just a weekend deal? Want to wait to see if BB early access allows GCU before I bite.
Edit:looks like yes.

Damn.  Was hoping for a cheap "The Surge" or a bit off Forza 7.  Oh well.  Might bite on Wolfenstein II for that.

Thinking about going for Rise of the Tomb Raider. Anyone think it has a chance of being cheaper during the Christmas sale?

Perhaps they are going to remove all premium currency from the game. No clue, could be bullshit.

Do you guys think we're going to get a discount on Bing points needed for Xbox credits?

Don't really see anything I want.

 

Bioshock Collection for $19.80 might be worth it to skip the crowds at BB for $15

 

Lara Croft ToO for $3 (but it doesn't give me the option to buy since I have it from GwG) or just the Season Pass for $1.50

 

Injustice 2 is a good price but there will likely be an Ultimate Edition.

Saw an article that Wall Street is worried that the game will tank because of the backlash. If their stock starts getting hit, that may force EA’s hand.

The original Injustice never got an Ultimate Edition on Xbox, so I'm not convinced.

You just missed it. They were $10 for 7000 pts last week.

This would be such a massive change it'd be hard to see it coming quickly. For them to completely remove microtransactions it would have to mean literally revamping their entire progression system. 

 

The only way it seems feasible would be if DICE designed the game that way from the beginning, but in the last few months EA mandated the progression being tied to lootboxes. They announced the pre-order bonus including a Yoda card all the way back during E3 I think so it'd have to be from before then.

 

I think best case scenario would be a complete removal of the boxes for now, with them coming back as cosmetic only once cosmetics are ready. They maybe could keep them for now if they only put credits and crafting parts in them, and have the hypothetical old XP based progression system back in place.

 

Anything beyond this seems unfeasible in the short term, if the devs in the Reddit AMA were telling the truth. One of the the few non-PR bullshit answers basically said cosmetics are coming but need time to be created, and they sort of implied they were planned for launch but they didn't make it in time.

 

Honestly if they remove the microtransactions (or make them cosmetic only like Overwatch) I probably will buy the game at some point. I want the game to be good and it would send the message the they can make money doing non-scummy things.

Thanks for the heads up here, I think this is the first time this season pass has been on sale by itself.

They're still on sale until the end of the month. Windows Store Gift Cards are $5 for 3600 points and $10 for 7000 and yes they work on XBox.

Some of the replies to that tweet are saying they took out the ability to buy crystals in Battlefront 2. Is it sad that I don’t even know what the Fuck the crystals are for? Aside from the P2W aspect, the whole system is so convoluted to even understand.

Yeah, lots of post of proof that crystals are gone on PSN and Origin. I think Crystals are what you bought that you could spend on boxes.

Now that game is a just massive grind, but that is better than people with money to burn being able to instantly be stronger than others. It could be a decoy though, like CoD launched without microtransactions and added them a week later and somehow some people were still surprised.
