    Wow the Maneater DLC is finally on sale! Not much of a sale, but I've been waiting for literally anything so this will finally get me to pull the trigger and get the rest of the achievements.
    The DLC is more of the same so if you enjoyed the game then it is worth the money. The story is actually better in my opinion. Unfortunately they added Time Trials and this was just horrible. You can read all the complaints online but basically the gimmicky jumping system to get out of the water is combined with a time limit to produce a frustrating race where you fail, not because of skill but because of the wonky physics for jumping. There is one particular trial IIRC that the only way to beat it for most people is to be either extremely lucky or rely on a controller glitch. Otherwise it is basically impossible given the physics engine. Other than that a good DLC for a surprisingly good game.

    Any chance we can start to organize DLC sales based on game and not the dlc name? Also can we be consistent throughout, cause a bunch of the first few are by game title and not dlc name, then it goes back to dlc name then back to game title and then back again... it is a very difficult search and super confusing throughout.
    There are three kinds of people in the world. People who can count and people who can’t.

    I am thinking of getting Bully Scholarship Xbox Edition. The PC version I have has a tendency to crash.

    I think at this point they should just reduce the price of Azura Wrath DLC. This is ridiculous

    This is the only thing out of this entire sale on my wish list that interested me even a bit but still not enough to buy. $5 is my price point or the game will just go unfinished. Not enough there to justify what I can get 5+ games for
    It's worth full price, just get it
    State of the badass art.

    Nah. As the above reply stated, the added time trials are pretty shit and shouldn’t have ever been added to an already wonky game. I paid for the game (a month before it hit game pass unfortunately) hoping for a Jaws on PS2 experience. It’s basically identical and yet somehow a 2006 game on a more limited system does it better. I’m not in the habit of rewarding bad decisions on DLC anymore

    All somewhat joking aside, I hate how this site pulls the DLC. It gives me a headache to read so when there's that much of it I tend just skip the section altogether. Wish they could have a column for what game it's for and I could just sort by that.

    Edit: Just found out that clicking on product to "sort Z-A" then back again makes the list go full alphabetical. It's a workaround but annoying.

    Is the Forza Horizon 4 Ultimate Add-Ons Bundle regularly on sale or should I buy it at $19.99? It is the best price? I'm gonna play it after I finish FH5, so I would say in four months.

    It seems to go on sale pretty regularly. It was on sale in Feb and again in May. TA's price history is nice, but still has some room for improvement. I like using xbdeals for price history. Here is a link to the FH4 Ultimate bundle.

    Many thanks mate, that was a valuable insight. Have a great day.

    Been wanting to try out They are billions. Not a bad grab.

    Be very cautious if you're looking at 7days to die though. (I got it when it was full price years ago) The game is currently still very buggy and pretty much a broken mess(Bases still get completely wiped). PC is miles ahead but they did say they started on an early build for the "New console version" back in april 2022. Not sure if it's going to be exclusive to the Series S/X but they also said they are porting it to the Xbox series consoles when PC is in its final build. Not sure if that means paying full price again for a separate version or if founders will get a free upgrade.

    I agree that the time trials are silly, but if you are using speed upgrade mutations they aren't bad. I beat them all on my first try (a couple were VERY close, but these are nothing compared to, say, [prototype]'s time trials).

    I almost want to get SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated, but I know if I buy it, it will eventually be cheaper, even more likely since I won't get around to playing it right away
