I went ahead and bought a bunch of indie games, picked up Darkchaser, Oxygen Not Included, and UFO50, and also grabbed Cities: Skylines. Got used to the launch prices of some AAA games, buying these discounted low-priced games really doesn’t hurt much.

      I bought this last time it was on sale, and while the game is fun I have a word of warning for people looking to buy this to play with friends: The online is NOT stable!

      It often hangs while connecting to a race and waits for the server upwards of multiple minutes. That’s bad since a race itself can be a minute or two long. Also, you can’t race against each other with AI cars, the options are either playing co-op which is piss easy or face each other alone. Races are just a bit lonely with 2 or 3 players.

      Multiplayer aside, Forza is a really fun time, I just wouldn’t buy it if you’re mainly looking to play with friends.

      That game was great. I might pick it up…

      Edit. I’m not sure what the difference is between deluxe and ultimate but for a couple more dollars i got the ultimate. Might as well while it’s still available.

      Edit again: i launched the game and it gets stuck at Xbox let’s get you signed in and doesn’t do anything from there… i saw something about deleting a credentials XBL file or something. I’ll try that later.

      Edit again again: so i installed the game on another device and it seems like my other display resolution might be messing with the dialog box and i couldn’t see the login button but just clicking enter when i knew the prompt was there i was able to connect blind.
