Only 500 gb but external storage is pretty cheap. Can't do anything until the first of July so if you guys see any deals post them here or I will keep checking the deals thread.
July's Games With Gold is okay. Not mind blowing but solid.

It's like they knew I was coming. Nothing to be excited about but I will be busy with a bunch of MS exclusives the next few months.Quote:

1 TB is the minimum for next gen gaming imo! Have fun going to the dark side.

Now all aboard the dark side!
Got my XB1 1TB and some games...
Rise of the Tomb Raider: This was the big one. Will get the season pass down the road.
Fallout 4/Season pass (repurchase but I really wanted to play with mods) just found out a day ago Bethesda wont be releasing mods anytime soon for the PS4, so this actually worked out well.
Inside, made by guy who created Limbo.
Borderlands Handsome Jack Collection: Again... but there are a couple DLC's I never finished.
Borderlands 1 from the Xbox 360: I have only played this once and was right before my final 360 shot craps, really looking forward to playing with Roland or Brick.
The Golf Club: Another repurchase but I like the devs and looking forward to The Golf Club 2.
Sunset Overdrive: This was $10 new. It looks interesting but not expecting much from it.
Took the copy of the Division out of the box and traded it in. Not going back to that game, it was fun for the single player stuff but it paid for Sunset Overdrive. Once nice thing about Gamestop is their bundles only include physical copies, for obvious reasons. Worked for me.
I really like that they have game previews now. Going to try out early versions of ARK: Survival Evolved and The Long Dark for free. Also backwards compatibility with many 360 games is great. Appears I bought quite a few digital games that are on the list. May never use it much but it is nice that it is there.
Still have to go through some of the MS Indie games to see what is available but I have plenty to play. Will definitely be getting the EA Access before Madden hits. I really missed that Xbox controller. Rumble triggers FTW! Still hate that games are packaged on the left side of the cover but if that is my biggest complaint...
Almost forgot, if anyone wants to add me.
PETA kills PUPS
If u have gold, download The Crew.
Don't care for racing games at all. Unless it is motocross or Trials.
Too late now. It's July.Quote:

Time for me to go broke. The Ultimate Game Sale is live.
Currently I'm considering:
Witcher 3 (Game + Expansion Pass bundle) - $50.24 or $25 for just the base game
Just Cause 3 XL Edition - $33.80
Evolve (would probably go Ultimate Edition since it's only $6.60 more than just the game by itself) - $19.80 for Ultimate Edition or $13.20 for base game
Dying Light: The Following - Enhanced Edition - $35.99
Maybe Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition (only $7.50, hard to say no)
Any opinions or suggestions of which of those I absolutely must get?
Depending on which ones I buy, I'll probably only get 2 or 3 as it'd run over $150 for all of them, which is more than I would like to spend at the moment.

Dying Light is a really good game. You might want to look into Just Cause 3 to see if there are still big framerate issues on the consoles.
I'm not sure what Just Cause 3 XL contains but from what I remember, the DLC wasn't much worth it. If the traditional game is cheaper, I would probably suggest going that route... double check what's in it to be sure though.
Here is the whole list of games, and for the 360 section, you can sort it for backwards compatibility. I got CS: Go from the sale.

Red Dead Redemption will be backwards compatible on Friday! And it's on sale now for Gold members for $7.50.

Definitely getting AC Syndicate Gold.
Q. Is Ryse + Season a Pass a good deal/good game?
They seem to be staggering their release schedules now.Quote:

I believe it was $24 for just the base game of Just Cause 3.Quote:

At least with Just Cause, while it's also an open world game, being action/adventure instead of RPG, it's something I can jump in and out of quickly just to dick around if I feel like doing something but don't have a ton of time.
Sweet! About damn time. And definitely grabbing it digitally for $7.50. That way I won't have to figure out where I put my old disc.Quote:

I figured someone will space out on the sale and that's when I'll put the game up lolQuote:

Now for Red Dead, I will definitely pick that up on Friday.
Yeah, Dying Light ($35.99) and base Just Cause 3 ($24) would work for me. Only end up being $60 in that case, nice and cheap for two good games, plus throw in another $7.50 for the BC RDR. And then I'll look for some good deals on Witcher 3 this winter. Sounds like a good plan to me!Quote:

Okay, I'm definitely holding off on Witcher 3. Word is there's a Game of the Year edition of Witcher 3 coming this fall, so in that case I'd rather wait for that.
So it looks like I'll be adding Dying Light at Just Cause 3 to my ever growing game collection.

You think people were excited?
RED DEAD REDEMPTION XBOX 360 SALES UP 6000 PERCENT
I saw that. Goddamn. And that better damn well mean we have an official announcement of RDR 2 by the end of this summer. Clearly people enjoy the game/series!

How long does the actual main story take to play for RDR?Quote:

Which is on the extreme low side for me. Plus the fact it's an open world game, you'll very easily find yourself off fucking around doing something completely non-quest related.
For me, I take the estimated time and multiply it by 3. I'm already over 150 hours into Fallout 4, and I'm still in part 1! I have yet to even complete Reunions and have the Prydwen enter the Commonwealth.
But of those 150 hours, I've already completed 50+ miscellaneous quests, I've discovered probably 90% of the map now, I've actually entered and cleaned out 60% of the buildings I have discovered and am pretty much to the point of having nothing to do but the main story missions.

That's a great site. I'm slower than most people so I'm closer to completionist levels on games like Uncharted and dragon age.Quote:

I would like BC but I wouldn't call it a huge mistake. In fact, Sony leads the console wars and sold over 3 million copies of the UC collection. Their remasters are making good money for them that BC wouldn't allow. I think BC is more important initially and at this point I don't see it as a significant issue. I don't think most people buying consoles now really use that as a factor.

The mistake Sony made was PS Now over backwards compatibility for PS3 games. Does not matter that it is the top selling console, this was a bad decision.
I play much more PS4 than XB1, but yeah PS Now sucked. I didn't like it at all.
PS Now is terrible. I'd never pay for that stuff. Honestly after two plus years of a new console there are tons of new games now. BC is nice but i still argue it's most important at first launch, not two years later. At this point I don't care that much.
Played RDR for about 5 hours. It's shocking that its a PS3/360 game. It competes well with a lot of 4/1 titles. The games is beautiful to look and and a heck of a lot of fun. For under $8 it's a steal.
Nice!
I noticed that my game had a bunch of DLC that I didn't order... that's because it's free.
