Still got $31 left from my $50 Xbox Gift Card (used $19 along with $6 left over from a previous gift card to get Killer Instinct Season 2 Ultra Edition, also the $31 is pretty much my entire Xbox One game spending budget for the next month or so) and I am currently mulling over a few choices, but I'm currently on the fence about them and looking for some feedback.

1. Ori and the Blind Forest (don't care for the current sale price but I do like action platformers and I've been told that if you backed the Bloodstained Kickstarter you'll probably like it), Forza Horizon 2 Presents Fast & Furious (heard it was meh, but I don't have Forza Horizon 2 and the last/only Forza game I've played was Forza 2 for Xbox 360 which I honestly didn't care for so I'm thinking of getting this to see if the main Horizon game would be something I'd like), and the Batgirl DLC for Arkham Knight when it comes out

2. CoD: AW Supremacy DLC (would be getting this mainly for the Exo Zombies content), Batgirl DLC, Mass Effect (since it's a BC game and I've never played any of the games in the series), and Slender: The Arrival

3. CoD: AW Ascendency & Supermacy DLC (already have the Havoc DLC as it free came with my copy of the game)

4. Saints Row IV Re-Elected/Gat out of Hell combo (never played a Saints Row game before, but I've heard good things), Batgirl DLC, and Mass Effect.

Alright, I know that Conker in Rare Replay is the N64 version. Is BK and BT in Rare Replay also N64?

If so I'd buy the 360 version, if the 360 version is what Rare Replay has...I'll wait. I can't remember from the thread which it was.

Edit** Thought your list was BC games that are currently on sale. Doh. I see BK isn't on sale. Still need an answer to my ? though.

From what I remember reading and from what I got from it, all the games that were released on the 360 will show up as a BC DL game.

I'm definitely getting AC Chronicles: China and am considering Hardline and Dying Light but with Amazon's Prime Day sales coming I feel like there's a chance they drop even lower so I might wait.

Forza Horizon 2 Presents Fast & Furious is basically a budget version of Forza Horizon 2.

If you've never played FH2, it'll let you know if you like the FH2 style of play.

If you own FH2, it'll feel like a retread, but there is still plenty to do. Most of the "meh" comments come from FH2 owners who wanted a new map.
 
Mass Effect is only $3.99 for 360 and is backwards compatible. I bought a disc version yesterday at Gamestop, now I have to return it!

Love sleeping dogs. Played it originally on 360, then bought back again on xbox one on a past sale and got all the achievements. Its worth it.

AC China was pretty fun and Temple of Osiris was awesome ! I might be biased though been as TR is my faivourite franchise but it is a great co-op/ solo puzzle game. The puzzle difficulty also changes depending on how many players you play with.

Anything stood out that you didnt like about AC China?

Oh man I totally regret buying Terraria, I wish there was a Steam style refund system. I bought it purely to play in local co-op.

First I tried it in single player.

Good good, now I'll give co-op a try.

God-fucking-damn, I was thinking about that Terraria game, too, but is that how it really looks on screen? With no way to zoom in closer? Get ol' fuck that, what the hell...?

Looks fine on my 200" Projection screen.


That field of view is WAY too wide in split-screen. Nothing under options to change it?


You can zoom in and out. Pause the game then use the triggers to zoom in and out.

Ah, there we go.

Garden Warfare was never part of this deal. I think it was part of Deals with Gold last week, and today started the new week with Destiny stuff.
