I remember waiting for a Horizon 2 sale. I was even ready to pay a bit more than retail prices to have it digital and to support the devs more. Eventually my patience ran low and I bought it for dirt cheap used.
Sales on consoles are bad.
You can only buy Xbox One games via region switching now and that is by buying the Xbox credit of the currency you need.
That's because your account region is different to where you live. Change your account region and you shouldn't have a problem

Yes. But I'm talking about XBox 360 games that are backwards compatible. I bought Just Cause 2 yesterday through VPN with my credit card from my PC. I can't do the same with Deus X: Human Revolution.
I mean you could get it for $30 from the MS store like last week
Oh right I was not even aware that buying 360 games via vpn was even possible tbh.

I'm really considering Slain, it looks right up my alley.
But man, I don't need any more games lol.

I'm hopeful that the Christmas and Christmas Eve daily deals are horrible because they expect a lot of people to be too busy to pay attention.
Someone probably thought it would be a cute tie in with the NBA Christmas Day games.

No additional functions
I'm not sure if this has been mentioned yet or not, but the Windows 10 Store says the entire Gears of War series is available on Xbox One (via BC) with the purchase Gears of War 4 which is playable on both PC and Xbox One. Not a bad deal for $33.

Maybe a sign that these daily deal games are shitty.
Whoever scheduled these sales knows.

Yep lol. I'm sure they are making a killing off of this
Stop making sense, please. You are ruining our fun.
Quiet. No one on GAF plays sports games.
Store says that FIFA deal will be available for 16 days, can't be countdown daily.
Lol, yeah. I start to feel guilty to have so many games on my backlog that I dont even started. Today Ill start paying my debt playing a bit of Darksiders II DE.
Hmm, well than there is still hope for a better daily. We'll know in 1.5 hours
From a $$ perspective, they probably made a decent move.
In the sports world - 12/25 is NBA day.
NBA2K sells a lot.
NBA2K is already on sale.
Throw in VC discount for some even more easy $$.
Sports games aren't big on GAF, but in 'Mericuh they are huge.

Is The Walking Dead Michonne worth it? Loved S1 but didn't like S2.
Oh no doubt! I love sports! I believe it! Heck I'm watching basketball right now. Probably a great business decision. It just doesn't make for a very exciting daily deal haha.
I hope they put some XBO games that are barely on sale in the future week/daily deals like Shadow Warrior, Bladestorm Nightmare, Final Fantasy Type 0, Arslan: Warriors of Legend, & Dying Light DLC.
Same for the 360 with Bayonetta, Binary Domain, Singularity, Crackdown 2, The Darkness 2, Warhammer 40k: Space Marine.
It's annoying that those stick to their MSRP price more often than not.

Nice find. Don't really pay attention to that store. Shadow complex on PC is great.
OP sales end Thursday, but a new batch drops wednesday so expect the same amount of titles but new ones. Also there are 7 more dailys left.
Ah, I recall reading it would end on 26, and kinda remembered that the Spotight sale or something ended in the first days of this year.
Still thinking about picking something up, but yeah, I wanted FH3 for cheaper than this. :/
No it doesn't but frankly considering the weekly sale and the sale next week they don't have a lot of options for the dailies.
While I'm watching the dailies, I'm not expecting much
Does this still run like shit on Xbox?

is it good? only played the 1st one, never got around to playing the others.
Dont, Google tells me that frame rate sucks still

It's okay. They've since patched the performance so it's not dropping frames for no reason. If you chain a massive explosion it drops obviously. I really only don't like the load times. It's GTA levels of bad on consoles.

Flux said it's since been patched. Did you play pre or post patch?
It has terrible performance on all platforms really. Even PC.
So wouldnt be totally sure of that.
Is Horizon 2 on sale? I'd buy it for $20, but I didn't see it

I played it in June so if there's been patches since then I haven't played on those.
