Too much to play on gamepass so no need to buy anything
Nothing, i have to finish skyrim and then spryo.
Nothing for me I don't think, I had a good look through all of it and I have everything I want. There might be a few items I'd buy if they were cheaper so I guess I'll just wait for a future sale!
Honestly nothing, I have a backlog that will last me this entire gen lol.
Nothing. At this point I feel like all the sales are recycling the same games over and over again.
I plan to pick up a few games that my guess will never hit gamepass (also Darksiders 3 due to missing when it was on gamepass)
I was going to buy nothing, like others have stated, but decided to get the Resident Evil Racoon City double pack (love RE2 Remake and haven't played RE3 Remake yet). That's all. Game Pass should keep me occupied for at least a year without buying a single game.
I'm probably picking up Castlevania Lords of Shadow as I loved it back on the 360.
Nothing. Game Pass keeps me busy enough. <3
Bought DBFZ ultimate edition. Been a while since I last played and it's good to see online lobbies absolutely packed in a 3(?) Year old fighting game
I picked up spyro and crash bandicoot, love my retro games. Disappointed with crash trilogy compared to spyro which has been made to look much better.
Every Yakuza title they have. I've been raving to anyone who will listen on my newfound love of Like a Dragon, I just can't believe it's taken me this long to play these games. I've even owned Playstations from PS2 to PS4! Curse these rocks I live under
@niggyt2004 That Spyro trilogy is phenominal, but I too couldn't get that same feeling from the Crash trilogy. I still can't quite put my finger on what it is exactly
Considering Bioshock Collection or Control Ultimate Edition - I’ll probably end up grabbing both
Picked up the wolfenstein two pack. Gonna try that out for the first time. Also got lego Batman 2 and 3 for my son who’s now getting into games.
I probably won’t buy much this sale since I bought a lot of games in the black friday sale a couple of weeks ago, and this sale is pretty much the same games at the same prices as then.
But I think I will buy either AC Valhalla or Immortals, or maybe Watch Dogs Legion if they patch the save glitch before the sale ends.
I bought no straight roads, duke nukem 3d, and a bundle containing a bunch of doom games. Was trying to decide between buying doom or castlevania and doom won in the end
I bought dying light super edition I dont remember what they call it but spent about 8 hours in it having fun. Mostly just played cyberpunk all weekend.
I have brought over $200 worth of games in this sale.
And a few more things
Planning to pick up a few. Especially Terminator knowing it has a 4K Series X update coming next year.
I picked up a couple of racing games, GRID because it's cheap and Dirt 5 because it finally went on sale. I heard mixed things about GRID but I figured for about $10 might as well check it out. As for Dirt I just never want to spend over $60 on a game and I figured the DLC edition was the only way to buy the game, as is the case for most games these days. The sale price is pretty much the price I think it should have been, and as a racing fan I gotta check it out. I also got myself Resident Evil 0, I had enough Microsoft rewards points to get myself a $10 gift card and for $5 I figured might as well just pick that one up.
@Scenes The new Terminator game really took me by surprise, it's a fantastic game and easily the best thing I have seen from the Terminator franchise since T2. I got it on PC but I bet the Series X edition is going to be just as good.
I bought Doom Eternal. I have Game Pass, but at $20 I figured I might as well. I also grabbed the Spyro collection.
@Gaming365247 I bought a lot of those same games during the sale. Totally worth it, even with Game Pass.
@JayJ Just tried on series X Runs MUCH better than on the one X. Definitely play it on series x otherwise you are stuck with 30fps. (variable frame rate on the one X made me nauseous.)
I am on the fence, still have some backlog. And currently playing cyberpunk.
But maybe gonna pick up the Bioshock collection and/or Re1 remake.
@agito1987 The One X port was just very poor, it's like they didn't even bother optimizing it for the console. It's why I got the game on PC.
I am considering Crash Team Racing. But Game Pass (and Cyberpunk) have me covered.
Ended up buying Monster Blast. Turned out to be a decent fun game.
Also bought Goatpunks and Iron Snout not on sale. Both fun stuff
