    Is that Hitman:Absolution? Because that is the first game for GwG tomorrow. Second game is Deadlight.

    Maybe I should just sell these Live cards.

    Ouch, yeah, bad month

    Canceling Live right now

    I've just been doing a monthly re-up if I like one of the games that month, since with the dates I have specified it'll get me the first game, the second game, and the first game of the next month

    But they've just been on such a bad streak lately

  • Shady3011Shady3011 Registered User regular
    Wouldn't be so bad if I didn't get Hitman last year on PS+.

  • Santa ClaustrophobiaSanta Claustrophobia Ho Ho Ho Disconnecting from Xbox LIVERegistered User regular
    Huh. And here I thought it might be worthwhile to download both of them.


    Fuck me very much.

  • Shady3011Shady3011 Registered User regular
    Well, they are free.

    Is Deadlight not good? I own Hitman already (professional edition even). But I am always hopeful they will give us good free games.

    Half the levels in Hitman Absolution were fun, the rest were turds. And there were a couple funny moments.

    I suspect the problem with Deadlight is that it is not some other, more desired title. Same really for any title people complain about.


    Personally, when playing Deadlight, I will chose to believe it's in the same universe as Night of the Comet just because.

    The problem with Deadlight is just that it's a really unenjoyable game

    Anyway, DotW info:

    The Hitman HD Pack is the HD Trilogy without Hitman Blood Money. So I guess it's good that HBM is on sale this time around.

    The Season Pass for WWE 2K14 contains all the DLC above except for the two wrestler DLCs and the Online Pass (which should be 'included' in the GoD download).

    The following is either on sale for the week or just got a permanent discount.
    DOA5 Ultimate Complete DOA5 Costumes (DLC) 50% $19.99

    As always, I'll add more details if MS ever bothers to have a non-Gold Only sale ever again or if Nelson announces any X1 deals.

  • darleysamdarleysam On my way to UKRegistered User regular
    Yeah, I'll take both Hitman and Deadlight for free. We'd been considering getting Absolution, but after the whole bondage nuns thing and reading from trusted sources that it is absolutely horrible, decided that we would rather not reward Io with any money for it, so, this works out nicely. Deadlight's one I was excited for, until reviews convinced me that it was remarkably average.

    I thought Absolution was a good game, but I'm far from being a Hitman purist. What I'd really like is some more sniper challege levels.

    You and I are now bros because you linked Night of the Comet aka the single greatest 80s cheese ever created.

    Also, Deadlight isnt terrible. The first chapter is awesome, but it kind of goes downhill from there. Still a decent game, and pretty easy to get all the cheevos for.

    Everyone has a price. Throw enough gold around and someone will risk disintegration.

    Saints Row 4 for$10 from Gamefly.

    RIDICULOUSLY worth it.

    I have saints row the third but I honestly don't know when I will get around to playing it. I also don't know when I would get around to the 4th one either. If I were to only play one and I already have the 3rd, is the 4th that much better? Hopefully that isn't as confusing a question as it sounds

  • DarkPrimusDarkPrimus Registered User regular
    If you don't play the 3rd first, you'll have a really hard time playing it after all the, ahem, gameplay improvements that the 4th added.

    basically saint's row 3 is the best gta game ever made, and saints row 4 is the best crackdown/superhero game with a healthy amount of series fanservice.

    so play 3 first.

  • Ed GrubermanEd Gruberman Registered User regular
    Thanks. I guess I'll hold off on 4 for now then. If I ever get around to playing 3, 4 will probably be cheaper anyways.

    I've never played any of the others, but 4 is hilariously amusing as a time waster.

    What is this I don't even.

    As of now, already sold out.
    Hesitated this morning, told my buddy about it and he was on board, but when I went back they only have it showing as available for rent.

    Doesn't matter now, but you'll be hard pressed to find it for $10 anywhere at any time.

    So besides things going pear shaped rather quickly in Absolution if I so much as sneeze near a guard, I'm kinda enjoying it.

    Which one though was the Good One. The one that you could make everything look like an accident and had freedom to do whatever?

    Pretty sure these are price drops.

    Saints Row 4 (GoD) 25% $29.99

    Ugh... Blood Money is ROUGH...

    I think I need to play it on PC instead simply for remappable controls.

    Personally, I kind of felt that a lot of 4's humor was too referential rather than being straight up funny.

    Not that I don't find that amusing from time to time but it does annoy me when its used as a crutch.

    You know, I completely forgot that I was going to sign up with Steam last night just to queue Restaurant Empire 2 for 75% off.



    I'd probably be bummed about that, but I console myself with the thought that it's Steam. It'll probably be 'free' in a week.

    I actually just got a 25% off pre order coupon from Greenman gaming in my email. I think it's tied to my account, otherwise I would offer it to anyone interested. You might be able to make a deal with someone though

    Amazon is running a sale on strategy board games today. Some really good stuff in there like Dominion, Ticket to Ride, and Eclipse.

    I should get Ticket to Ride. That way I can fail to beat twenty-five ranked players in real life, too.


    Also, when is anybody going to smarten up and make Robo Rally for XBLA/whatever?

    A good time to buy a 3DS, yes? I could get Fire Emblem, Zelda, and Luigi's Mansion now ... or is a better deal coming this summer?

    Target is also giving a 50$ gift card with a purchase of a Wii U!

  • Santa ClaustrophobiaSanta Claustrophobia Ho Ho Ho Disconnecting from Xbox LIVERegistered User regular
    Or I could keep my money and buy something that has games.
