Xbox sale round-up October 3rd, 2023

MrZombieChicken said:Gamefly has it for about 15 bucks right now, that's probably too much as well. If it ever gets under 6-7 bucks I might get it for the novelty value. Which it might actually get to on Gamefly at some point.

Strider Zwei said:Didn't realize the first two Risen games are BC, the third isn't for some reason though. Still need to get to the third game.

Oddly enough the first Gothic game from 2001 just got a port to the Switch, that might actually be pretty decent I believe from the one or two videos I saw.

Things on Wheels is on sale for 99 cents for Game Pass Core. 360 marketplace site still calls it the Gold exclusive price, guess they didn't want to take the time to update the 360 side if it's just going to be shut down. Didn't see any other non-BC, digital only titles newly on sale.

Second time it's been on sale for that price since the 360 marketplace shutdown announcement. No discounts on the DLCs, which have achievements.

Bloomy said:Final exam too but it didn't let me purchase only add to cart on 360

FiteTalk YT said:That's been on sale since last week. Second time that's been on sale recently, too, though it was already on sale when the 360 marketplace shutdown announcement was made.

Finally took the plunge and got Greedfall - Gold Edition.

EarthboundX said:Guess a Gothic port on any platform would be a valuable pick if the game could be played without holding Shift to do absolutely everything.

Really, that game has a superb storytelling and can be fun as hell to play despite nowadays it looking so dated (not complaining; lots of games are and i still play them, but it used to keep new players away some times), but the controls was a pain even for it time standards.

I have lost count how many times Desperados 3 has been on sale for Xbox since it left Game Pass years ago, but not been on sale once for Windows

Nothing worth getting now 3 weeks in a row, saves moneyfor Forza premium content.

Here to say Outer Wilds is incredible.

EarthboundX said:Oh man it almost has to be better as a port. The controls were a nightmare, something like the Tab key was the default key to pick something up.

It turned out to be one of my favorite games of all time but I actually quit initially and then just gave it “one more try” a few weeks later and it clicked.

Gothic on Switch, if they ported to sane controls, ought to be awesome!

We’re talking about Fallout 2 levels of magic here, definitely give it a shot if older games don’t repel you.

Andre Alexandr said:Okay, I see I’m not alone😂

Was interested in What Remains of Edith Finch, but then saw it's only for Gold members (or Core members nowadays, I guess). Aww.

JackTheCreeper said:I remember not liking the game early on but after 5 hours I started to love the game . The story and gameplay was fun once you get used to it

The Cherished said:Don't fall into the trap tho...unless you just want easy gamerscore, it's wasted money even if they're always dirt cheap

I Boz l said:I don't plan to ever play them. The only one I have played was The Nightmare Chronicles and it was bloody terrible.

Shouldn't it be Deals with Core now?

Definitely getting Space Wolf, nice of them to put it on sale before delisting.

TymanTheLong said:From the video I skimmed, I think they added in a whole new UI, so they may have changed the controls as well.

Darksiders III again on consoles, but not on PC...

Tempted to get the tomb raider, I wonder if it will have a stack

FlopsyTheRabbit said:Heck, TA still refer to these as sales for Xbox Live Silver members, even though Microsoft discontinued XBL Silver back in 2010 :)
