    I often wonder how these sales are curated....what is the reason we always get the same stuff over and over when there are many hundreds of cool and unique titles that never get a discount or sale. Is it the individual devs that aren't interested? Or does MS have some silly conditions they put on games that go in sales making it not worth the effort?

    Honestly not seeing anything I'm interested in. I hoped Crysis Remastered Trilogy, or Oddworld Stranger's Wrath HD would show up, but we get the same stuff that's usually on sale. And annoyingly it's always only 20% off The Outer Worlds expansion pass, if they did 50% I'd probably buy it.
    asking for Crysis Trilogy which is like every 2 weeks in a sale.... complaini g about "same stuff thats usially on sale"

    this is why we can have nice things
    Think he means like the actual trilogy bundle, not them seperately
    2x this year. may 10th last time

    Even then it probably wasn't much of a discount

    Inflation must be striking MS...since many of the discounts here are worse than previous sales and not particularly motivating any purchases. DLC prices in particular continue to be crazy. But hey, thanks for helping me save my money MS!

    Devs as usual being ridiculous with their prices. So glad I could snag a Series X when I did so I can continue to not support digital BS; because Amazon honestly had better deals for prime day for full physical games than these morons offer for digital only products.
    Digital prices continue to be beyond baffling to me on console. 3-6 year old games that have been literally the same price for the past 2-4+ years of their life. Just stupid.
    So it goes...

    Only thing that slightly interests me here is The Quarry....still pretty expensive though. Everything else either I have no interest in or I already own it. Pretty mediocre sale.

    LETS GOOOOOOO I finally copped Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite💪

    I was willing to get it for $20 so $12 for the deluxe edition is a steal.

    Some fun 360 games on there but the same old ones that I already have sadly. For anybody curious however with the Ubisoft stuff going on, Assassins Creed Rogue can be completed fully offline ;)

    Question! Anybody play The Bard's Tale ARPG and is it any fun? It's been on my list a long time. I never played the originals back in the day. If anybody has played it, any idea an actual realistic completion time estimate for those that prefer not to use command codes or follow walkthroughs? I'd rather just go through the game myself first and then I can do another run and clean up anything I missed with a guide if needed :P I'm pretty certain 2-3 hours is not remotely correct for a full actual run of the game however.

    wishlist notification?
    No wishlist alerts but I had price notifications like 12hrs ago or something.
    The Bard’s Tale ARPG has nearly nothing to do with the old school Bard’s Tale games. It’s actually pretty terrible. You see 2-3 hours because there’s console commands that let you fly and make you invulnerable. On the upside that means you can play it blind and use console commands to mop up, on the downside that means you’d be playing it… twice.

    I’ve given this game the old college try multiple times, it’s just freaking awful. The humor is not actually that funny, the story doesn’t seem great (maybe it gets great later on but I wouldn’t bet on it). Finally it’s just a clunky and unfun mess.

    I love plenty of B tier games, I recently completed Redeemer and the 9 Monkeys of Shaolin and both were fine. Obey Me turned out to be a hidden gem (the very obviously non professional voice acting grows on you). Othercide is the best game I’ve played in 5 years.

    But Bard’s Tale ARPG is trash, I wish it wasn’t, but it is.

    I don’t need to buy Maneater again, just give us a damn sale on the dlc by itself already.

    First time Far Cry 5 season pass has been insane this year. Guess I’ll pick it up since I just finished the main game.

    Is Sinking City X|S version any good at $25?

    Outer Worlds DLC is finally a tiny bit cheaper at a 22% discount if you buy them separately ($19.48 vs $19.99).

    Even though there weren't 500+ games for Prime Day, I feel like there were some exciting deals, like $20 for Nier Replicant, Oddworld Soulstorm, and Tales of Arise, $46 for Elden Ring, and $15 for Disco Elysium. Also got Mass Effect Lengendary (and a few other games) on Origin for free.

    It's amazing how so many games on sale via Xbox can be so underwhelming.
