Xbox sale round-up August 13th, 2024

Wonder if the BC versions of FFXIII will ever go on sale again? It has been a long time since they last were on sale.

These sales are weaker than the usual offerings, Moving Out is 40% off as opposed to the usual 75% off.
Taxi Life was 50% off a few weeks ago and it's now only 40% off.
They are just the ones I have noticed as well.

There's a few $1.99 Lego games, not bad!
Might want to act quick in case it's a price error.

Very good sales👍

DarkB1ade X said:Kinda doubt it. There's been multiple sales, including big ones like Summer/Spring/etc., where the Windows versions of 13, 13-2, and LR have been on sale, but the console versions haven't.

I'm hoping they do at some point, same with Library of Ruina and the non-Larian Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance game.

"Like a Dragon 7 Gaiden" and "Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania" sale? More than I was expecting but I’ll take it. (And also "Like a Dragon: Ishin" I guess but at this point I have no interest in going back to it for anything other than finishing up the series completion so I’ll just see if I can wait for a better sale.) More or less only leaves "Disco Elysium" left on the wish list.

Edit: Oh wait a minute "Disco Elysium" is also on sale. Fuck.

Few tempters there. May finally pick up Cult of the Lamb. Was looking at The Chant the other day as in a horror mood. Still waiting for some form of sale on Alien Isolation for PC cos I'm looking for a reason to do it again. Just never seems to happen though. Maybe also Planet Zoo since I bought Planet Coaster a few weeks back and am in a sim mood atm.

Was hoping train sim world 4 would go on sale.

Ehh went ahead and bought Turok 3 with points.

The inflation of games is annoying. I'm of a mind now that I'll never pay more than $20 on a game. Baldurs 3 is on 'sale' for $55? Wtf. I just got Skullcandy and Bones for $10, which is prolly more than it's worth. Have a backlog, get excited for a game, but it, don't playing it. 2 years later it's on sale. Not buying new game anymore. Also, half the games come out they're all like early access release.

isonzo is the worst shooter ive ever played lmao

That’s the cheapest Road 96: Mile 0 has ever been so going to get that

Unrelated, but for as big a fan as I am of the Metal Gear franchise, I've never been able to get into Peace Walker. To any Snake experts out there, is it worth the achievement grind? Asking for a friend here.

I cannot recommend Sayonara Wild Hearts or The Artful Escape enough! Well worth checking out, especially at the prices they're at this week. Sayonara Wild Hearts is just over an hour for initial playthrough, but it is one hell of an experience (don't look anything up before playing gameplay-wise, it's an amazing blind play). The Artful Escape is just a few hours, with some very basic platforming and super simple "QTEs" (if you can even call them that in the game), but the story is fantastic and hits all the right notes (pun intended) for a chill, story-driven experience.

Shad0wman2o1o said:It was GOTY across several outlets last year, Larian knowns when they have a premium product. I agree with your general sentiment but some games are worth it imo.

Mr Peanutbubber said:Yes for me it depends on which game it is and which developer is behind it to pay full price

End up buying a bunch of cheap games and questionable indie titles.

The Survivalists - Deluxe Edition
Grizzland
Rift Racoon
Ravva and the Cyclops Curse
Just Die Already
Brutal Rage
Mystic Gate
Cobra Kai: The Karate Kid Saga Continues
G.I. Joe: Operation Blackout
Descenders

Thought G.I.Joe was multiplayer only for some reason but it seems to have an 18 mission campaign as well so nice!

What's the little Game Pass icon on the price button mean? Extra discount for GP members?
