Picked up Forza Horizon 3. Really enjoyed the first one, kept waiting for a good deal on the second, but ended up passing on it when it was $20. Haven't picked up any DLC yet as the car pass cars didn't really wow me personally. Hopefully the Mountain Dew car pack goes on sale sometime as the Vega, Gremlin and Dodge Dart all look cool. Might pick up Blizzard Mountain when it's on sale again, but the Hot Wheels looks eh to me. Heard it got great reviews, but the GTA Online stunts stuff got good reviews too and it wasn't really for me.

Hot Wheels is awesome IMO. Funny enough it’s been so long since I played GTA V (and never played it online) that I didn’t even know that stunts thing existed. Looks up my alley so might have to check it out anyway.

Does anyone know if there's a list out there of games on sale that aren't on game pass?

I think this is my final haul from the BF sale:

 

Wolfenstein 2 Deluxe: Played some this weekend and the game is as awesome as the new order. Love it.

South Park

Skyrim 

Sanctum 2 expansion

 

 

I was debating Fallout 4 GOTY, but I just don't see me playing it anytime soon. 

 

Overall I am very pleased with this sale.

I'm assuming you have game pass due to all the Xbox X trials and $1 promo going on, When you click on a game to view info on it, it will tell you whether or not it's on gamepass.

 

That or look at a game pass list online or on your console.

This week is slimmer than Darby's jeans.

11/21 - Telltale: Batman - Episode 3

 

That's it. News will be slow this week too, given the holiday.

Bought Battlefield 2, despite the controversy.

It’s...interesting. Single player two missions in is safe but pretty. Multiplayer seems solid so far, but time will tell on the economy. Historically, it’s shitty in Battlefield games so I don’t expect it to get awesome and rewarding.

But it looks and plays great!

I got it for “free” by trading in Injustice 2, Diablo 3, Agents of Mayhem.

I read this as Battlefield 2 and was wondering what controversy you were talking about on such an old game:

but I am assuming you mean Battlefront 2 :)

I'm holding out hope that Hand of Fate 2 will sneak out next week.

It was supposed to come out on Nov 7th, but failed MS testing or cert or something last minute.

 

Devs said it was all fixed, and the game should be out in about a week (about 10 days ago), so they're already late on that prediction.

Hopefully, that means any day now.

 

I really really loved the first Hand of Fate.  I had never heard of it until I got it with Games With Gold.  Been anticipating this sequel for over a year.  And it's been getting great reviews with no microtransactions or loot boxes or special editions or pre-order DLC.

 

At 30 dollars - digital only - I will betray my cheap ass brethren by picking it up immediately at full price, but I can't help it.  Gotta support the Devs you love when they deserve it.

Meanwhile, the 2005 SW Battlefront II is trending as a top-10 best seller on Steam:

True but thanks for making me wish they would make Battfield 2 again. Battlefield 4 felt close enough, but the music was better in 2 (in my mind anyway).

I played a round of Forza 7 multi, but earned no XP and no money. Assume that’s because I was using a rented Lambo.

I thought you at least earned one of the other in rented cars? What a wasted 6 laps in the rain.

This game is stunning.

I don't even like racing games but seeing you guys post about this game is making me want to play it. You guys are a bad influence.

Heroes vs Villains in Battlefront 2 on Kashyyk is one of the best things ever, everyone just falls off the map on their own or by getting pushed I love it!

I've been trying my best to avoid these forums to finish off some of my backlog before Black Friday spending and it's actually been pretty good thing. Less spending and more playing.

Knocked out the older South Park game, Resident Evil Revelations, COD:WW2, Battlefront 2, and the the first two Wolfenstein games this month already. Was debating whether or not to get the deluxe version of Wolfenstein 2, but I can't get enough of those games right now.

I was never a big fan of the main Forza series, preferring the more arcadey Horizon. But Forza 7 is such a sight to behold, especially on the X. It’s also very noobie friendly with its various assist options. And the variety in the racing is also fantastic.

But damn the graphics on the X....

Is Wolfenstein the New order worth$10? I have a$10 credit and thinking of getting it. I already have old blood so no need to buy the double pack.
Also, why do the Black Friday sales for some of these games end in like 2 days?

You’re correct, renting cars results in no credits or xp

Absolutely, It's a pretty lengthy shooter and I had a blast going through it

Pulled the trigger on the X, $20 from MS+$20 from Samsung Pay to BB and a $20 reward cert to get spacebucks, plus the discounted credits from Samsung Pay and using a cashback thing I'm probably getting it for around 350. Picking it up from MS store this afternoon.

Surely, SURELY, you have at least one recording of this comical event.

too subjective

 

but for the cost and without the high end gear why spend the money now? unless you have buckets of it

 

it offers improvements but I don't see how one could make the case right now (without the high end tv) that it's truly worth it while on a cheapassgamer site

I'm playing on a 1080p TV right now, yes, yes it is. You instantly notice the difference in power even without a 4K set. I played AC Origins on the S before upgrading to the X, and let me tell you, its a huuuuge jump.  The vegetation, the water effects, the detail in the sand and the rocks, the colors pop more, etc. The S version looks blurry as shit in hindsight. I can't believe I was playing on something so underpowered for so long.

 

Don't let anyone else who doesn't have an X sway your opinion.

This guy gets it.

The S is fine on 1080p. Until you put an X on the same TV with the enhanced games. There’s no going back.
