Xbox sale round-up June 7th, 2022

HolyHalfDead said:Are you only in threads to moan about people with different opinions than you?

HolyHalfDead said:Did a little research and apparently they did release an update recently for Xbox Series X and PS5. It runs it through backward compatibility so It doesn't get the X|S tag.

The game runs in backwards compatibility mode. This patch only unlocks the framerate up to 60fps on current consoles.
- PS5 is limited to legacy PS4 Pro settings with a maximum resolution of 1620p.
- Xbox Series X has a clear advantage showing almost constant 2160p
- Xbox Series S limits its resolution to 1080p.
- Load times are faster on Xbox Series, as is usual for backwards compatible games compared to PS5.

Any recommendations on Punch Club?

Also, I can't see War Thunder the same way anymore link hidden

Not much sales this week, maybe more will appear later in the week or over the weekend covering the event?

GTA V on Series X is still on sale for one more week. I have been debating it. It is cheap for new players, but those who bought it on Xbox 360 and Xbox ONE should certainly qualify for it being free for Series X. Also Xbox players have to pay more than PS, which is not right. If it goes on sale again in future will it be cheaper than it is now?

I bought AER - Memories of Old and Masters of Anima!

I bought 5 games this week. I think this is a pretty great sale to be honest. Lots of stuff that I wasn't ever going to buy at $20, I'm happy to at $2-$3.

Picked up Swim Out

A good site feature would be to be able to exclude certain things from these lists, e.g. games on game pass or games you own / have an achievement in.

I picked up some quick and easy GS games: Rusty Gun, Cyber Pool, Alexio, Lord of the Click, and Evasion From Hell.

HolyHalfDead said: Eh, not quite as sad as quoting anybody with a different opinion than you to tell them how wrong they are.

To each their own, though.

Apologies for not remembering an obscure sale from over eleven years ago, though.

So much so that before I even submitted the post he/she "corrected" me on I paused and was like "do I really wanna get dragged into another dumbass argument about another insignificant thing on TA?"

XI AlphaMale IX said: I thought it was quite enjoyable. It's an easy completion, a higher than should be expected ratio, and I enjoyed the gameplay and found the story amusing at times - Especially the part with the cat and what you run into in the sewers.

For $2 I'd say it's the best thing in this sale, though I'm admittedly biased because i like those types of games.

Evandalist said:Thanks, seems like a fun concept. I’ll bite for 2 bucks.

Evandalist said:You weren’t expressing an opinion such as “nothing I want in this sale”, “I’m holding out for a bigger discount”. You were claiming that few sales have ever been as bad as this.

I was pointing out that simply isn’t true. Every week for years a handful of games would go on sale each week. 25% or 33% was a common discount, and sometimes it would be 50%. Now we get dozens of games on sale every week, with discounts as high as 95%.

Just trying to help you have a more positive outlook, than all this doom and gloom so many people are suffering from these days.

Evandalist said:I think you will find a large number of posts for every sale or Games with Gold announcement are “worst ever”, “meh, meh, meh”, “same shit every week”, “PlayStation is better”.

I can’t decide who they are trying to impress with their disparaging comments.

Kursk looks interesting and now the price is right.

HolyHalfDead said: Whatever, dude. I’m really not trying to go back and forth with another anonymous pedant who is clearly reading way too much into everybody else’s posts and then retroactively trying to justify his antagonistic behavior as an attempt to ”help alleviate” his armchair psychological diagnosis that they’re suffering from ”doom and gloom”.

I literally took a multiple year break from even posting on this website or logging in at all because of combative contrarians like you always being in everybody else’s mentions at the most minuscule perceived “slight” - I finally come back, years later, make one post expressing displeasure at something, and boom - Here the fuck you come to tell me how wrong I am.

The more things change, eh?

Look forward to seeing you in next week’s sales thread arguing with another group of people over how this is ackshually the deepest discount we’ve ever seen on Shit Sandwich Simulator.

Nothing I want this week, perhaps next week. At the same time there have been other weeks with good deals, but not this time.

RodimusPrime13 said:I’ll pick up a few games here or there during these sales. But I do most of my buying during the Black Friday sale.

I just got a wishlist alert but the game isn't included in this week's sale. Is there another incoming sale getting ready to start?
