Wow crazy deal for outland

Post by: Stoney Mason on September 27, 2011, 10:20:13 AM
I was going to say Outland looks like the good deal among those.

Hmm, Outland and Trouble Witches Neo for me. Wasn't too nuts about Moon Diver sadly.

Damn, I want Outland (& Clash of Heroes HD which is on sale for 800) but I only have enough points left for Guardian Heroes. Oh well.

what was the consensus on Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 again?

I'll get Outland and maybe that

The Club for PC is also 400/$4.99, slightly lower than the current Steam sale price but it's GFWL

Says there will be more on Friday. I only bought Outland... been wanting to get it. I have about 5000pts rotting away, so more sales the better.

Rearmed 2 isn't nearly as good as the first, but I think it's worth 600pts.  Play the trial first, though.

Definitely picking up Outland.

Rearmed 2 is decent, but it's clearly a B effort and inferior to the original in just about every way. Game was just dumbed down.

I'm gonna buy a 1600 point card soon, so I bought Outland and played it for a while. The demo for this game is misleading - I thought it ended right before a boss battle, but actually it was just some stupid flashback and there's more running around afterward. I was hoping this game would be more action heavy, instead of exploration/adventure. Getting kinda bored.

edit: Just got to the first boss. I think I see how this game works now, but eh, it's still a little too metroidvania-ish for me.
Title: Re: Stealth XBLA sale going on
Post by: Robo on September 28, 2011, 11:37:48 AM
I didn't realize it was a Metroidvania sort of game either.  Just cleared the second boss.  It's a little dull at the moment, but I'm expecting it to pick up now that I have the color swap.

You'd have to be a fool to pass up on Trouble Witches.  That shit was a steal for 800 points.

They've since patched it to fix the glitches and controls. I enjoyed it. Reminded me of a non horror Dead Space/Tomb Raider hybrid.

My main problem is that I am actually slightly hydrophobic, well, more like afraid of sharks and drowning. I hate sharks in videogames. Pretty sure there'll be at least one in some submerged section.
Title: Re: Stealth XBLA sale going on

Just got Outland at Serious Sam. Considering Hydrophobia.
Title: Re: Stealth XBLA sale going on
Post by: BobFromPikeCreek on September 30, 2011, 08:36:46 PM
SO Serious Sam kinda sucks ass on 360. The aiming deadzones are FUCKED UP.
Title: Re: Stealth XBLA sale going on
Post by: BobFromPikeCreek on September 30, 2011, 09:58:33 PM
Nevermind, it's pretty good. It's super janky, but the auto-aim is generous enough that it doesn't matter. Serious Sam was never about precision shooting anyway.
