Xbox One Sale Roundup: July 21st, 2020

Killface8800 said:Looking at the achievement distrubution it seems its because almost everyone popped the first achievement then out it down.

There's no middle ground, either people completed it, or thought it was shit and stopped playing it. As is usually the case for these games.

Vanstrom336 said:Some enemies can jank you with stun lock combos till you die. It can be a bit more forgiving but still has its shit moments. Also if you ever played remnant from the ashes they are multiple ways to take a boss down which will affect achievements and weapons that will drop from them.

DaOverUnder said:Also there's a few achievements (the ones for equipping cards) that are based on having certain items equipped all at once, and the item locations in the game are randomized, from what I've read.

Nothing on this list. Are we due for a larger sale anytime soon? Maybe an end of summer sale in a month's time?

CHAOTIC IZUAL said:I think that mechanic is really cool and adds replay value to the game (assuming I like it). Currently working my way through Remnant right now which has its moments but has mostly been pretty frustrating due to nearly every boss constantly spawning enemies.

Schinderdiv said:Ive been wanting the mummy demastered for so damn long, it just seems so damn overpriced all the time.

With AT&T trying to sell off Warner Bros.' gaming division , I would highly recommend getting the Lego games now in case they do get a buyer. Some (or all) of the Lego games could be delisted when that day comes depending on what licenses and usage rights transfer after the sell. I imagine they are discounting the games heavily nowadays to squeeze in as much revenue from them as possible before the (eventual) sell.
*edit- same with the Lord of the rings games.

Mysterio400 said:No, you still need Hitman 1 gold edition to be able to play Hitman's 2 legacy DLC which can't be bought via store.

HOLY SHMUCK said:I didn't know about that. Good thing I own all of these on disc.

ST3ALTH EMPER0R said:From experience buy it before they realise its a mistake and correct the price.

(Remember getting all resi games for £16 once instead of £60)

Ninjaskk12 said:It was a bit cheaper in may, only € 19,79.

Theres a lot of prices increasing over sales... first time I see that. Lego batman gold was 16€ previously, now it's 20€. Same thing with other batmans, van helsing... I'm sure there's a lot more

I'm glad to see the Baldur's Gate and Planescape ports finally being discounted but I still can't justify paying that price for 20 something year old games that I've already played before. If either of them drop to $15, I may consider pulling the trigger.

For months now I don't even spend more than 1 minute to check the sales list. I see that's always the same titles, at the same discounts, and TA not willing to improve their site by allowing to hide 'not interested in' games, I won't check line by line what's interesting or not.

Looks like the Summer Sales won't show this year, or they are very late compared to previous years:

Xbox Summer Sale 2019: July 16 - July 29
Xbox Summer Sale 2018: July 19 - July 30
Xbox Summer Sale 2017: June 30 - July 10
Xbox Summer Sale 2016: July 5 - July 11

mkdfan said:Has it started already? Here's the page it redirects to from the Rewards Dashboard: https://www.xbox.com/promotions/sales/summer-spotlight

It says "Winter Spotlight" here, but I don't know if it's because I'm on the southern hemisphere or it's not updated yet.

From what I gathered, it might go all the way to August 31 (the date the Reward thing expires), and with different games from time to time. It also appears to be new 'cause "SUPERHOT: MIND CONTROL DELETE" is there (and it's said to be on sale for 3 days)

This is weird, is there something I missed?

Boring

Seriously Hitman 2 may aswell be permanently discounted at this point. It's on sale all the time.

UnfurledEmu75 said:that's why don't expect much from MICROSOFT s[t]ales

ScarfaceRemedy said:Here on the northern hemispehere I see Summer Spotlight, but only 19 games, all which are more or less boring.
Perhaps the new Superhot is interesting which comes with a 40% discount.

ScarfaceRemedy said:Yeah summer spotlight isn't the big summer sale before everyone starts getting excited.
