FM6 is a track-based sim racer and FH3 is an open world semi-arcadey racer.

So FH3 is similar to Need for Speed Rivals?

what's the difference between forza motorsport 6 and forza horizon 3? .____. (genuine question here)

If you have to ask, you should get Horizon 3 instead.

Horizon 3 is a little more arcadey whereas Forza 6 is more hardcore on-track racing.

 

[Senteevs]

Black Flag is $12. You must be joking.

 

[scottXplosion]

- Gears of War 4 - $59.99 > $27.00

Gears 4 is actually $32.99, for a total of $27 in savings.

 

[RoKKeR]

Man, so torn on IW Legacy Edition for $60. Pretty damn steep still especially with how game prices have generally been lower this year.

 

[Senteevs]

- Project Cars Digital Edition - $29.99 > $5.00

That's typo. It's actually $15, not $5.

You're correct, fixed. Thanks!

Are all the deals posted so far weekly deals? Any of them daily?

If you're asking that you probably want FH3.

Motorsport = realistic, sim, track racing

Horizon = arcadey, open world

 

[Padinn]

Gears of War showed up as 29.99 for me

Infinite Warfare is better than you might think and the MW remaster is fantastic. It's a good deal. But Titanfall 2 for $30 is still what I would recommend to anyone wanting a fast and fun as hell shooter that plays like a dream.

 

[Poodlestrike]

Some good deals there, tbh.

 

[MauroNL]

These are probably all weekly, so valid through Thursday next week Dec 29. Could be that 1 or 2 of the list in OP are dailys though. Will update status when Major Nelson has his blog post ready.

It's two games you're getting though. But go for Titanfall 2 and wait for COD4 standalone if you really want it.

 

[Ade]

Edit, brain fart

 

[TalonJH]

I only want to play Halo 5's single player but $20 is hard to pass up.

 

[Nephtes]

Final Fantasy XV - $59.99 > $44.99

I see that now... I don't think it was listed when I originally entered the thread.
That's my excuse any way...

How does killer instinct season 3 ultra edition work?


If I buy it will I get all the content from the previous seasons?

The original price of 39.99 is the same as the deluxe edition with everything so I'm wondering if the contents are basically the same.

I'll answer both our questions, took some time during work to check out.

Answer, it's shit, only season 3 characters with bells and whistles.

The Ultimate Season 3 Bundle! Get early access to fighters! Includes 8 new fighters - including Rash from Battletoads, Arbiter from Halo, Kim Wu, and Tusk! Includes VIP Double XP Booster, 8 retro costumes, accessory sets, and bonus retro character colors.

Will probably just end up buying the Definitive Edition for 40$, tired of waiting for a deal that never comes around.

EDIT: Meeeeeh, I think DE is only for X1, I REALLY have to buy it in the game...D:

Hmm. Will mull it over. I wasn't really feeling the free TF2 trial, but $30 is dangerously close to impulse territory. Unfortunately BF1 is taking up most of my MP playtime at the moment. The campaigns of IW and MWR are what's drawing me to that game.

 

[BleedOrange]

The single player is worth $20 imo. It's a pretty good execution of an awful narrative.

 

[FleetingFlowAir]

Wow, didn't think Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 would get discounted for this event. Really glad I got $20 from Microsoft Rewards, because I was going to pay for the Steam version.

You can't go wrong. And it is two games if you go the COD route.

 

[Living the Dream]

Waiting for that $10 gears of war

 

[dskillzhtown]

am I dumb or is the microsoft store ridiculously hard to navigate. I can't find any of these deals.

Don't the deals start tomorrow?

Then get Titanfall.

(I haven't played IW but Titanfall campaign is amazing)

 

[shawnoftheshred]

Metro Redux bundle is 80% off
$6 in Canada...

Edit: just realized its the GWG deal not Holiday sale.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

I just bought BF1 4 days or so ago at full price. Wonder if MS would refund me the difference if i promise to use it on more of these sale games, lol.

 

[oneida]

The campaigns of IW and MWR are what's drawing me to that game.

Get Titanfall 2.

 

[Hugstable]

Hoping for Witcher 3 Complete sale and a sale on some BC games like
Catherine

That's about what I expected. For lack of a better way of putting it, I've always been a fan of the world/lore and experience of Halo more than the story. I wouldn't call any of the stories (including the books) amazing but I like being in that fiction. It's just a very cool world to me.

Then get Titanfall.

(I haven't played IW but Titanfall campaign is amazing)

Play IW's campaign. It's very solid and interesting.

 

[Hugstable]

For Bioshock collection, how's the port on Xbox? Good or should I just be getting the BC Bioshock 1?

 

[theDeeDubs]

Still too high for FFXV for me. Will probably finally bite on Firewatch.

 

[Lkr]

mmmmmm i need titanfall 2, might be time to bite on it. still bummed that smartpistol can't be my primary though...

no sale on the gears 1 remake? i want that still, wake me up when its $10 MS

 

[shmoglish]

How is Flame in the flood? Game looks interesting, but the critics are just ok.

 

[Guileless]

MS store has the Battlefield 1/Titanfall 2 bundle at $89.99 non-Gold and $74.99 Gold.

Edit: they're cheaper to buy separately ($68.99). WTF?

 

[oneida]

Good or should I just be getting the BC Bioshock 1?

just get BC Bioshock 1 IMO

[Kordelle]

Everybody has to buy Flame in the Flood, such a cool game.

 

[shmoglish]

Everybody has to buy Flame in the Flood, such a cool game.

That answers my question, ty.

 

[Krixeus]

Where is the list for the daily deals?

 

[fr0st]

Is GTA v for xb1 for sale?

 

[sam777]

Why can't the Withcer 3 expansion pass ever go on sale

 

[Illusive_Juan]

$19.99 is under $20.

Not necessarily.

 

[Donniewahlberg]

Looks like Ori & the blind forest: DE is £8, great price

 

[CosmicQueso]

Still don't understand why MS preannounces these things. Best way to spark an impulse purchase is to launch the sale without fanfare. They always give people days to think about buying or not buying. It's just a strange approach.

 

[EBreda]

So FH3 is similar to Need for Speed Rivals?

Pretty much. Just 2 thousand times better.

 

[ironcreed]

Metro Redux bundle is 80% off

Edit: just realized its the GWG deal not Holiday sale.

I picked that up last night. $6 for both Metro games remastered the way these are is nuts. I tried a bit of 2033 last night and it might as well be a totally different game technically compared to the 360 version.

 

[Donniewahlberg]

Hoping for Witcher 3 Complete sale and a sale on some BC games like

You've still got hope, they showed Dead Rising 4 in the teaser and that's not on sale, so they're not done orrrr more likely there will be a new wave next week.

 

[MauroNL]

Looks like I have most deals in the OP now. Will update the missing one's when Major Nelson updates his blog.

 

[KainXVIII]

Lol

 

[Lom1lo]

And again no mass effect dlc sale, Im really mad right now -.-
