Casey Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Imagine my disappointment when learning the true nature of these discount sales. 40% off is actually pay the remaining 60%, so Gotham Knights really only gets a $20 discount to $40ish. I’ll just buy GoW: Ragnarok and look forward to the Steam sales. Hopefully Xbox does an extensive backwards compatibility sale this holiday or next week.

Travis Sheldon Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 The prices I have seen have been a major bust. Ghosts of Tsushima was cheaper when Target clearanced it out during the summer. Probably the best deal I've seen has been a Xbox Series S at Target for $250 w/$50 Target gift card. If I wasn't anti digital-only consoles, I'd be all over that one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other issue for me is that I'd be buying one to play basically a few big games (The Outer Worlds 2, probably the next Fallout if Todd Howard doesn't destroy what makes Fallout in 3D good). I'm a bit nervous about the Series S's ability to run those games that are three, four years down the road. But yes, no disc drive makes it a non-starter for me anyway.

I find myself wanting a Series X but don't think I'd ever play it. I would probably spend a bunch of time setting up emulators and then... watch YouTube on it. I haven't played an actual video game in months. I've also never owned an Xbox - I've been a Playstation guy since 1995. I do find it mind-boggling that supplies are still so limited on both new consoles that you can't just go buy one (generally). It's been TWO YEARS.

SirSmUgly Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 I think the Series S is the only one that's regularly stocked anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 I know it’s not in the wild, but Microsoft’s online store has had the Series X in stock for months now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 If you ever wanted to play the Kingdom Hearts series but don't want to plunk down the money... the most recent releases of all 3 are on PS+ Premium right now, along with Skyrim.

Craig H Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 I noticed that last night regarding Kingdom Hearts. God...Do I really want to try and play Kingdom Hearts given how fucking dumb it has looked and sounded over the years? Part of me wants to give it a shot just to see how weird it is.

SirSmUgly Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 I'd be more interested in those games if they didn't have Sora in them. And if they were made by a Western RPG dev. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Bethesda games are exactly why I bought a Series S. Cheap console + Gamepass Day 1 releases (most likely) + Sony being stupid and not accepting Microsoft offers to do cross platform releases supposedly.

Craig H Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 I showed Kingdom Hearts to my daughter to see if she would be interested in a playthrough and she was like, "yeah, naw dog." And this is a kid who is constantly playing through all of the bullshit in Genshin Impact (I don't let her make any purchases except for maybe once a quarter) and played through and loved FF7R. I'm a little surprised at how uninterested she was. I could always play it by myself, but stuff like that is more fun to play with her and if I'm playing the game with her then I know I'll finish it.

StevieNippz Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 WWE 2K22 is only $23 right now on the Playstation store, worth a pickup?

Casey Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 (edited) Xbox Game Pass is teasing on Twitter that LEGO Star Wars is coming next month (and the official LEGO account replied to the tweet). Not sure if it's the older games or the newer Skywalker Saga, but surely it's the latter. I hope it's true, since I've been looking at getting that for awhile now but waiting on the right sale. EDIT: Confirmed to be coming on the 6th. Hell yeah. Edited December 1, 2022 by Casey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
