Picked up Orange box and Witcher 2!

So far I picked up,

The Orange Box
Brothers in Arms HH
Witcher 2
Prey

 

[matthieuC]

Well I think I'm done. Only got two games: Max Payne 3 and Lego Batman 2. I'm a happy camper.

 

[OrangeOak]

Nobody played it 3 years ago so I doubt it.

huh? I played it about 1 year ago and had no problems in finding matches.

 

[Kusagari]

playing the fuck out of it for years, I dumped hundreds of hours into that game

huh? I played it about 1 year ago and had no problems in finding matches.

I'd love to know what game you guys were playing. When It tried playing it 3 years ago there was 2 matches active.

 

[Woggerman]

Witcher 2 is a no brainer. Just picked it up. Added it to the backlog.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Caved and Got Orange Box.

 

[katkombat]

Sweet. Witcher 2 and Orange Box for me.

 

[Infinite Justice]

And the wait continues :/

 

[OrangeOak]

I'd love to know what game you guys were playing. When It tried playing it 3 years ago there was 2 matches active.

Maybe you were searching ranked matches? From what I have experienced they were never too popular.
I just checked my copy and even now I have 5-6 player matches with good ping at 2 at night.

 

[Alphahawk]

Yesterday had six games, today has four, so hopefully there are two more games in the queue for tonight.

 

[MAX PAYMENT]

Left 4 Dead 2 is now $10

Is this the sale price?

 

[Jawabreaker]

Yesterday had six games, today has four, so hopefully there are two more games in the queue for tonight.

If I had to guess, it's going to be either Tomb Raider and Hitman, or Forza and Gears. I just can't see Microsoft having 3 third person shooters on the final day of the sale.

lol the orange box was still kicking this time last year. full lobbies of 2fort.

Is this the sale price?

Yes. It's usually $30 I think.

 

[Jawabreaker]

Is this the sale price?

Yup. Regularly $30.

 

[moai]

final day of the sale is thursday or friday?

 

[Yanksfan]

Thought for sure they would dick us with Witcher 2 and go to $20. Very pumped to see it @ $10. Definitely buying it tonight.

 

[CaptainTiptop]

Okay, Rockstar Table Tennis is definitely mine for £2.70. The only other game I'll grab is Gears Judgment if it's a good price.

 

[Alphahawk]

final day of the sale is thursday or friday?

Tomorrow's listing is the last one. Then you have until the 8th to grab the bottom tier games.

 

[Jawabreaker]

final day of the sale is thursday or friday?

Friday, though the prices will probably go live for the final titles around this time tomorrow.

 

[Goldenroad]

I really like Crysis 2 single player. Played through it three times including on the hardest setting. Is Crysis 3 worth $20 for the SP?

 

[jbug617]

final day of the sale is thursday or friday?

Friday.

 

[Yanksfan]

Okay, Rockstar Table Tennis is definitely mine for £2.70. The only other game I'll grab is Gears Judgment if it's a good price.

Same here, hoping for a sub $20 price, though I doubt it. $20 would still be pretty decent though.

 

[gregor7777]

Is there still a community for L4D2 on the Xbox?

 

[Macho Madness]

Is there still a community for L4D2 on the Xbox?

Yes. Quite good too if you buy the DLC.

 

[Jawabreaker]

I've already picked up Prey, Bulletstorm, and The Witcher 2, and have around 5980 MSP still left over. Still looking to buy Tombcharted, Xcom, and maybe Gears or MGR, depending on their pricing.

[coopolon]

Playing a bit of Divinity I may stick with it on PC afterall, I was hoping the controls would be more natural for a controller but it feels like I'm just running Xpadder through it.

Then again controllers are more comfortable for the long term and I still prefer official support, so eh.

Thanks for posting this. Now I am thinking that I will maybe pass and just play it on pc with xpadder. I should just try the profile sometime before the 8th.

 

[gregor7777]

Yes. Quite good too if you buy the DLC.

Shit forgot about buying the damn DLC.

 

[MAX PAYMENT]

Shit forgot about buying the damn DLC.

[Garryk]

Meh, I was hoping for $5 on L4D2. Still hoping for $10 Forza.

 

[HallucinatingElvis]

yay, Picked up Left 4 dead! our copy was eaten by the disk drive and my wife loooooves to play it but the prices for used copies are nuts so this is great

i hope the Gears sale is 10, that would rock

 

[Aspiring]

Hoping the witcher 2 is $10 when it drops for Australia.

 

[Vamphuntr]

Bought Witcher 2 for 680 Allards (Canada).

 

[Alphahawk]

Updated 7/3. GameStop values if you wanna trade in your discs.

How do you find these?

 

[JaggedSac]

Witcher 2 is mine.

 

[Wiz]

Never played a Witcher game but $10 is a great price to jump in. I've heard comparisons to Skyrim...are they similar?

 

[AlexBasch]

These are the Day 3 sales

Crysis 3

Nice, what are the price on those?

 

[Lee Chaolan]

I've got a sealed Disc copy of the Witcher 2, am I crazy to want to keep that sealed and just buy the DD for 800 points?

 

[darthbob]

Not really. At least you can sell your physical copy.

 

[Eusis]

I've got a sealed Disc copy of the Witcher 2, am I crazy to want to keep that sealed and just buy the DD for 800 points?

One of the better physical packages a game's gotten lately, so yes actually.

 

[eggwolio]

How do you find these?

I work for the devil.

 

[Vamphuntr]

In which region are you? In my case the download was 10$ but it was only 680 pts when you switch currency. Someone goofed lol.

 

[AlexBasch]

One of the better physical packages a game's gotten lately, so yes actually.

Gonna agree with this, Witcher 2 box is pretty slick. Thought it was a special edition at first.

 

[Slygmous]

Never played a Witcher game but $10 is a great price to jump in. I've heard comparisons to Skyrim...are they similar?

Not really similar at all. Witcher 2 isn't even really open world in the way Skyrim is, more sectioned off depending on which chapter you're in.
The combat is quite difficult to grasp at first too, I died a lot until I found something that worked for me. Totally worth those first few rough hours though, one of the best games I played this gen.

 

[theytookourjobz]

Never played a Witcher game but $10 is a great price to jump in. I've heard comparisons to Skyrim...are they similar?

Both fantasy RPGs but they are very different besides that. Skyrim is open world emergent gameplay and Witcher is a much more focused combat oriented game.
