The New Order is the best.

Only Resident Evil games I played were the first 2, and I enjoyed the story but HATED the perspective and controls. I know 4 gets great praise, but I wasn't a fan of the clunky (in my opinion) controls and aiming system. Does 4 or hell, 5 or 6 have "modern controls" ? $10 for each seems easily worth it if that's the case.
They are definitely more modern than the old ones, but to different degrees. 4 uses a single stick for moving and aiming, so you have to stop and shoot (which works for the atmosphere of the game, IMO). 5 and 6 move towards true third person shooter control schemes, with moving and looking/aiming on separate sticks. Having said all of that, 4 is a must play.

Where are you guys finding Shadow Complex for sale? I only see the regular price for both.

Alright. Got a $50 gift card from the wife yesterday. Getting Titanfall 2, Ori, and Resident Evil 4. See you guys next month! Thanks Admodieus.

Really, really good picks.
I'm mot quite as high on TF2 as others, but Ori and RE4 are sublime. Amazing how well RE4 holds up.
I think he means on the Windows 10 store, not Xbox. But there is a decent chance of it going on sale in the next Xbox batch which are dropping this wednesday evening.
Good picks. Ori is fantastic and titanfall campaign is amazing with a decent multiplayer. Re4 is re4 you kinda know what you're getting.
Don't forget you get both De and standard Ori with it. Ori De is better and comes with dlc but the standard Ori means free achievements
Crap, just bought physical version for $30, but I want digital. Not available to trade at BB and GameStop trade value is a measly $17.

FFXV has a much longer singleplayer, but people are hot/cold on it.
I'd say if you like JRPGs it's a good bet that FFXV is going to return better value for you.
Edit: Changed multi- to singleplayer.

I am confused?
If you aren't that crazy about TF1's multiplayer, then whether or not TF2 gels with you will be on the strength of the campaign alone. It's a good campaign, but you will probably end up being done with the game a lot quicker if that's all you are wanting to get out of it. The multiplayer is definitely improved, but it probably won't be different enough to change your mind.
FFXV is flawed but still amazingly fun. I'd probably suggest going for it if you want something that is going to last you a while.

And weekly deals have always gone until midnight of the final day, which would have been midnight tonight. I even checked out majornelson.com to check past deals to compare how the dates were listed. The last five plus years of weekly deals have lead me to believe that all Deals with Gold sales ended at midnight of the final day.
It's too bad... I was going to buy Slain and Darksiders II
Why did you think that? Got it for xmas so I've just started and not sure how I feel about it yet but interested to hear people's thoughts. Seems like a slow starter so far.

That's the way it usually works. But this week's gold deals (RE, Datksiders, etc.) have already expired and the new ones haven't started yet.
Yeah. There must be some kind of mistake. I just checked all the deals for Xbox One listed on the Xbox Deals with Gold page, and even though they have percentage off numbers by each game on this page (http://www.xbox.com/en-US/live/deals-with-gold), the only one where the sale still applies right now is SuperHot. Edit: Whoops! Never Alone's sale still applies, too.
Maybe you could get support on chat if you really wanted a game and be all "Hey! This game says it's supposed to be 50 percent off but it's still full price" and maybe they'll discount the price for you manually?
Xbox 360 deals seems to still actually be on sale.

Thanks for you work updating this constantly you are a champion! But the sale is unbelievably bad. Here's hoping they have something for week two that isn't complete and utter shit.
Ye I got to agree this is nowhere near as good as the Black Friday sales. They need to step up their game for week 2.

Not the best start sadly.
If there's one thing I hate about this gen it's these dumb bundles. The only purpose they really serve is being able to advertise deals as "biggest sale ever".. consisting of the same games 3 times. Don't get me started on the GTA shark card bundles.
They are both good but TNO is far superior.

Mauro is an incredible person.
Love you.
Love you.
Thanks fellas! Happy to help. Wished I had some better deals to post though, very lacklustre thusfar. Hoping for some good ones Wednesday evening.

I've got a $15 Xbox gift card burning a hole in my Live account, and I can't decide on a game. Hitman looks intriguing, but I usually don't have patience for stealth games. Titanfall 2 also looks good, but I'm hopelessly addicted to Overwatch right now and I'm not sure I have room in my life for another shooter. They're both $30 right now, so...Which one do I pick?

I bought the hitman intro just that reason

I'm not sure what's going on with the weekly Deals With Gold stuff, but something's weird about it. All of the games* are still listed in the DWG section, but only Superhot and Never Alone are still discounted, and NA is only 5% off (it was like 50% or something before).
*I already own Slain, Metro, and Darksiders II, so I can't see the prices on those.

I bought it and it is definitely noticeable but I'm not a graphics snob, so I can deal with it.
The framerate is nowhere near 30 fps most of the time, but it is still playable and pretty fun. I don't regret buying it but if you're a stickler for rock solid frame rates, then better avoid it.

I just had the ball clenching realization that after buying the only thing I was interested in that I had an email with 10 dollars store credit in it...
