I'm doing the same, just trying to slowly work through my backlog. What's been helping me the most is that TrueAchievements has recently added a 'winstreak' feature (try to get at least one achievement every day for X amount of days) and it's been a really good push to keep me cleaning stuff out. So far I'm 22 days in  If anyone else is using the site, don't forget to join the SA leaderboard we've got going on.

Blast Fantasto posted:How is the Mark of the Ninja DLC? I just bought the whole package, because the DLC was like a buck fifty, but I'm surprised to see there's like nothing written about it anywhere. It's really short but it also adds developer commentary and some neat alternate items and abilities that you can use in the main game too.

Asking over here, too: Just picked up GTAV from Amazon's deal - any missable stuff I should know? I already know that I have to pick Option C at the ending otherwise I'm locked out of things, but is there any more?

Anyone pick up Clash of Heroes when it was free and want to play multiplayer at some point? All I've got left in it are the achievements for winning a 1v1 and a 2v2 match which wouldn't be hard if everyone left playing it wasn't loving hardcore at it.

Chick3n posted:Major Nelson posted some info on the upcoming sales. There'll be new daily deals every day until 2014 and there's also some weekly deals that lasts until December 23. Sales start tomorrow. Note that the Marvel vs Capcom games are getting delisted from the store over the next few days, so if you've ever been interested in them you absolutely should jump on this sale for them. Seeing other Marvel games on that sale list is making me wonder if those are getting taken down too, though. What on that list is worth picking up?

Here's the blog post about it. I don't know if the other games are getting delisted or if they're just taking the opportunity to do a big sale on Marvel games.

CzarChasm posted:The last Mortal Kombat game is great if you ever liked that series, can probably get the Komplete Kollection (all DLC characters, costumes, stages, etc.) for $20 or less. I'd think if someone likes Tekken but disliked Street Fighter they absolutely wouldn't like MK/Injustice since they're even farther away from how Tekken plays. (plus they're not very good at all)

MZ posted:What was the consensus on Tony Hawk HD? I remember it getting a bit of a mixed reception on launch..... If you have nostalgia for the older games you should just dig them up and play them. There's very few of the original levels and music in the game, the physics seem really off, and it just all around looks pretty awful.

I really really enjoy Forza Horizon. It's a lot less in-depth tuning wise if you're used to other Forza games, but it's not something I'm into and it's pretty much completely ignorable in Horizon.

If you have the XBLA versions of Banjo-Kazooie and/or Banjo-Tooie, there's stuff you can unlock in N&B from doing things in them. Past that, not much. Boggy the Polar Bear can train you so you can get faster runspeed and stuff like that which is useful to prioritize picking up, I think.

Decently big sale: http://majornelson.com/2014/02/17/xbox-360-ultimate-games-sale/ Most of it's poo poo I already own or have no interest in, though. I'll probably finally pick up Asura's Wrath at that price maybe.

Have Kinects gotten really cheap yet? I've always wanted to gently caress around with one but I'd bet money my room would be too small to really use it well and I'm too poor to gamble on full price.

What I've heard about it is that it has lots of potential that isn't really followed through on, area design is incredibly same-y and unvaried,and the combat is incredibly easy and devolves to 'get in enemy face + mash sword button.' If you haven't played Shadow Complex yet (or haven't in a long while), go play that instead.

The Cave is awful and this is coming from someone who really enjoyed every single other Double Fine game. It was Ron Gilbert's baby from before he even put out Maniac Mansion and it shows really hard. Good thing he left the company after making GBS threads it out, I'd hate to have seen Broken Age with his input.

It's a multiplayer-only game, so I imagine they'll decide to add in microtransactions and/or go free to play eventually whenever the time is right.

It's really relaxing as a watered down Civ game with a lot less complexity to juggle in your head. As someone who played a shitload of 4 and 5 it's a neat, cute take on it and something I've already sunk a bunch of hours in. It's a good pick for a free game, but I 100% understand if people feel like it should have been more complicated. It's too bad the weekly bundle sale on Civ 5 has passed, that was a hell of a good deal and I would've recommended it to anyone who got the itch for a bigger game from it.

I haven't seen a review that's said it's a good game yet. I've seen a lot of ones that say it's extremely faithful to the art style and humor of the show though, for all that's worth.

Deadlight's a piece of poo poo and one of the few games I actively regret buying. Picture Limbo, but remove any interesting theme or art style (you know, the only reason why Limbo was any good to begin with) and add guns and zombies. But keep the extremely disappointing ending. Hitman Absolution I bought on PC and never ended up playing since I'm still working through Blood Money in fits and starts, but after the backlash of it not being as good as BM died down the general thought about it was that it was okay.

univbee posted:Forza Horizons is the only Forza game that's even digitally downloadable at all on 360. There's basically no hope of those games ever coming as GWG. Having said that, there's probably a decent chance your library has them for free, or a secondhand game shop wanting literal pennies for it. univbee posted:Forza Horizons is the only Forza game that's even digitally downloadable at all on 360.

Every time I've looked for Forza 3 or 4 on Amazon or in Gamestop they've been $15-20+.
