I think quite the opposite.  I've never met a mobile device keyboard that didn't auto-capitalize and auto-punctuate, so either you're not on a tablet or other mobile device or you're doing it on purpose.

 

Either way, welcome to the thread!  Please read the OP to gain more info.

 

I have a hard time believing anyone in government is taking this seriously (unless they want to try to regulate it somehow), but let's see where this goes.

 

I think they want to regulate it. if its one thing Governments hate is not making money off something.

No different from them going after Online Gambling when it was overseas websites.

It'll be like DraftKings and FanDuel where it's fine as long as they make money.

Just echoing that Symphony of the Night is a must-play. It has some odd conventions which haven't aged well (the inventory management isn't great, the difficulty spikes in a few places) but it's an absolute classic.

 

Minus one VIP client who I made an exception for today, officially on break. Time to alternate between doing work for finals and playing games.

This tweet probably means nothing. Or it means Halo 2 is coming to OG BC. Or, again, nothing at all.

[captbrannigan]

Does it mean something that the only one to like the troll's comments was ol' Uncle Assmar? Maybe they should start their own thread. Then they can figure out how to "discuss deals" without determining the value of the items on sale, since user reviews aren't contribututive.


AC Origins is the most fun I've had playing an AC game since Black Flag. I really like the changes to combat and the weapon variety. I know the skill tree and loot drops are a big change for series, but so far they haven't been much of a grind. Granted I haven't left the first village yet, so its a bit early to anticipate how grindy the game becomes.

I finally understand the Forzathon hype. I won a Bently! Based on previous comments some of the challenges can be more of a pain to accomplish, but they gave me a nice carrot to chase and then eat(?). Go carrots!


*edit* Hell ya! Just in time, Newegg has a good deal for xbl credit. 10% off, plus $25 off >$200 using masterpass and promo code MPBF17. Total came to $175 for $222 credit, roughly 21% off. Masterpass is free to sign up for and you don't need a mastercard for it. Email delivery, Newegg can be slow but generally <24 hrs.

$100 code

$22 code

According to Major Nelson all of the Xbox Black Friday deals are live.  I'm still going to hold out on a few as I can save a couple bucks at GameStop's BF deal.

Spec ops the line is NOT BC, right? My research says it’s not but there is a lot of talk about it.

I was hoping it’s like the orange box; no obviously BC but it works

[Masters_93]

CoD loot boxes may potentially include weapons in the future

Anyone play Necropolis? Is it worth $7.50?

No, but Gamestop is offering a rebate on used Xbox 360s. So in the end, you would only end up paying sales tax.

Not really worried about that. I always end up with favorites that aren’t loot exclusive. The ones that dropped in BO3 weren’t close to the best weapons in the game. The loot boxes already drop epic and heroic versions of weapons that give an XP boost or some sort of zombie boost, but, once again, that doesn’t affect gameplay at all.

I’ve already prestiged once. This is easily one of the top 5 CoD MP experiences ever.

[Tandjame]

That OP is crazy. Thanks again bloomy for all your hard work.

[SIX min WHISTLE]

I'm considering grabbing some 360 games in the black friday deals.  Here is a list of things I am considering:

 

1. Spec Ops the Line

2. Asura's Warth

3. Darkstalkers Resurection

4. Street Fighter 3 Third Strike

5. Darkness II

6. Lost Planet Games (2, 3, colonies)

7. Crackdown 1 and 2

8. Castlevania Games (harmony, lords of shadow, symphony)

9. Beautiful Katamari

 

 

Thoughts on any of these?  Thanks in advice for any advice.

Out of your list here, I'd most highly recommend Beautiful Katamari, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, and Spec Ops: The Line. If you like fighters and aren't expecting BC, Third Strike and Darkstalkers are both great choices. Full thoughts on everything in the spoiler.

 

Spoiler

1. Yeah, grab it. Just don't look anything up ahead of time if you haven't had the story spoiled.

 

2. Keep in mind that the true ending is paid DLC, that isn't discounted.

 

3 and 4. Both great fighters. I don't think they'll become BC at any point because Capcom, but their online is good and they added a lot of challenge stuff to work towards.

 

5. I couldn't get into this but the tentacle weapons definitely give it a unique feel. If you like the comics it's an easy yes.

 

6. Colonies is good, 2 is kind of a mess as the campaign is designed around 4 player co-op, but it's fun if you can find people to play with. I never played 3 as I heard pretty much only bad things, it's from a totally different team as the first two.

 

7. I have't played these enough to recommend but 1 is generally considered the better game.

 

8. SOTN is a must. Harmony of Despair is weird since it's online co-op, has some questionable design choices. The last time I played it (years ago), the only people playing were max level and knew the maps like the back of their hand so it wasn't that fun. Haven't played the Lords of Shadow games, like Crackdown I hear 1 is much better than 2.

 

9. Katamari is great, a very upbeat and jolly game. If you're familiar with the concept and are interested, give it a go. The game has a great soundtrack, but it's mostly licenesed it is probably keeping it from becoming BC.

[nadohawk]

Asura's Wrath is pay to finish. The last episodes are in several DLC packs.

It's a free to play game. You don't have to buy anything.

True, but unless you bought the character with real or in game currency, you cannot level them past level 10.

[Donken]

According to Major Nelson all of the Xbox Black Friday deals are live.  I'm still going to hold out on a few as I can save a couple bucks at GameStop's BF deal.

That's my plan, I'm waiting to see what I grab for Black Friday at retail and then ill make my selections on the marketplace. I keep going back and forth on FFXV, I think ill end up getting it, I have windows store bing credit expiring soon so it will be free, my wife says she will play Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune if I buy it, so might grab that too, debating Skyrim and Witcher 3, prob end up getting one or the other. I hated the controls in Witcher 2, couldn't even play it cuz I couldn't get used to the controls, and I'm not sure how Witcher 3 compares.

 

I will prob get CoD WW2 from Best Buy if I can get the $40 price. Prob grab Lego Ninjago for $20 from Best Buy for my son. Not much else I want from the sales. Maybe a new controller from Best Buy for $40, since they have a lot of different colors and a couple of mine are getting sticky from kids gross hands.

[TurkeyOnRye]

So far I've picked up:

 

The $5 Pinball FX3 packs.

Thimbleweed Park

Batman:TEW

Evil Within + Season Pass

Walking Dead:TNF

What Remains of Edith Finch

 

I've kinda held off on larger purchases (I talked myself out of DR4+SP because I don't know when I'll get to it or if I"ll even get into it) but I'm very tempted by Wolfenstein II and the Dishonored Collection.  

 

Someone talk me into them or out of them... I know they'll be cheaper in the future, but when will that be?

[MrshllJcb]

I’ve been playing Wolf 2 and it’s absolutely fucking fantastic. For $30 I’d say it’s definitely worth it

[blinknot4]

First level of Wolf2 available for all via FREE TRIAL. Progress carries over. Game is superb.

https://www.microsof...us/c4llmhfq1bxq

 

[Bercelak]

Any chance of super lucky tales and standard version of ww2 go on sale this Friday digitally?

[Doctor Zod]

Of course Bethesda would announce a free trial for Wolfenstein II on the day of the 54th anniversary of JFK's assassination.......or is just a coincidence and I'm reading too much into it 

[novakov]

For the Xbox Quests do you get any sort of notification when you have completed the objectives? Got the 400+ achievement points in a game and downloaded Nights and Tales from the Borderlands, pretty sure I booted up Mixer for the 5 days also.

[Pixiloxx]

Wolf 2 will be $25 at GameStop tomorrow and Super Lucky's Tale is supposed to be 30% off, but I am unsure if it'll be through XBL or the actual Microsoft store.

Super excited for GWG for once. No heavy hitters on there which will leave some people disappointed, but don't own any of the four. Not often that happens.

 

Hell, iirc, Vermintide was just on sale a few weeks ago. Glad I passed on it now.

Wow.  BTTF is on sale right now and also on sale every other week.  This is a little ballsy except it's always so dirt cheap I guess no one will really care too much.

Don't own Warhammer, but was always interested. Own Back to the Future on my PS3. Child of Eden I think we all own on One from previous GWG My bad, was thinking Child of Light. Marlow Briggs I already own AND beaten and it's a fun God of War clone, nothing amazing, but has some great one liners.

Not too bad. Have Child of Eden on disc. Glad I have resisted Vermintide in the past. Not a great game from the demo I played but it is X enhanced!
