    so where is the easy completion article for this sale?
    i dont think ta does them now as its promoting easy games. They haven't done one for the weekly deals for nearly a month now
    which is a shame since it helped to spot deals(promotion for this website as well as money for devs and microsoft)..it is almost as if people are ashamed and having a midlife crisis of achievement hunting all of a sudden on an achievement hunting website
    well i think it was something to do with all the bitching about easy games and the 1000g title updates. But to me its down to the individual to buy what they want to play or not.

    Is there any way that I can add games that is on sale here in this way to my notification like I do with other sales? It takes forever to browse through all games. I add games to wish list (Love this feature) and then I like to get a message that these games are on sale.

    For this sale I don´t get this and I will miss out on many games because I am too lazy to go through the entire list.
    Why not add to your wishlist on Xbox instead? The wishlist notifications on Xbox are far more consistent than on here.
    I did not know about that function! I need to find out how I do that! Perhaps it is easy and you could explain were and how I add games to a xbox one wish list on the console? Thank you so much for letting me know. I had no idea!
    Go to the game page on the Xbox store, and next to the buy button is a picture of a heart with a + on it. Click it. Adds to your wishlist.

    You can also do it from the Xbox store on PC too. Same button.

    Every time a game goes on sale, Xbox will send a notification.

    Only downside to Xbox wishlists is a 300 item cap.

    i want to buy miraculous as im a fan of the show, but $20 is still kinda of a high price for me (ive been spoiled by some good sales), especially when i probably wont be playing it anytime soon. ive also heard it's a meh game so im in no rush to buy it now

    Wow, thank you very much! I had no idea! I will certainly add up to 300 games from my wish list I have on here on my console. This will surely help a lot when there are sales like this.

    Thanks for letting me know and for explaining how to do this!

    Agents of Mayhem was definitely a huge letdown following the stellar (original) Saints Row games... but it is 100% worth 3$.
    TIL: Having numbers instead of letters in a gamertag is edgy. Awesome!

    So you basically reposted an article from yesterday with a different title just to get clicks. Lame.
    It filters out the games that are at their historical cheapest...
    It doesn’t filter them. You still have to look for them in the list. A filter would just show them.
    "Microsoft just dropped a new '50% off or more' Xbox sale, with over 200 games included. Here are the titles for which those deep discounts make for the best deals we've seen to date on the store for those games."

    This list is literally games pulled from the original sale list that are at the lowest they've tracked so far. Unless the author is lying...

    Snoozer of a sale again. Xbox sales are never as good as PlayStation. Ever. Any game I looked at has been multiple dollars cheaper on ps months and or years ago.
    Good for you Jim, stay with your Shitstation wave

    In a lot of cases:
    Never been cheaper = Same price you see these games listed for every sale

    Not at all and that's not what I said either, just felt appropriate to call you Jim because you're moaning over something silly really.
    There are hundreds of deals and a lot of them are steals, unless you buy weekly I guess.
    There are 3 sales running at the moment I believe, not really a snoozer in my books.

    And below that…

    “ While quite a lot of these are simply matching historical lows, games highlighted with italicised titles are, according to our systems, at new all-time low prices in at least some regions, so those may represent some of the best bargains here, depending on what you're looking to pick up.”

    You still have to find italicized titles to find the ones that are at their lowest ever so a bunch of these on the list are just the same sales price they go for a lot.

    Matching their all time lows is still their all time lows so this list is, like I said originally, a filtered list of all time lows from the larger sale list.

    Which means they could have simply edited the original post rather than make a brand new one with nearly the entirety of the previous one again. ;)

    I agree completely everybody enjoys this hobby of ours differently...nice to play a chill game to get that daily achievement while playing a longer,grinder game later
    if you have easy games on your gamercard dont be a hypocrite and stop others from enjoying the same games

    I believe the bigger issue isn't "easy" games, as much as it's the fear of shovelware being sold to the point of choking the marketplace like I've heard complain has been happening to Playstation. I mean one game out for Xbox now is literally 1000GS for doing nothing but watching a digital cat for about 15 minutes. Then there's "One After Fall", which is an easy, under half an hour, completion with a 1,000 GS title update (according to the forum post, you can get all 2,000 GS in about 13 minutes)... it had a stack release on Windows, which does happen. But, then it got two additional stacks in Spanish and German on Xbox and they'd intended to make another stack as a Spanish language Windows version. Don't get me wrong, I've played some easy completions games, but these seem like overkill junk to me. To each their own, obviously, but seeing these, I can understand why gamers are voicing concerns.

    Both editions of Cult of The Lamb are on a 24-hour only 25% off sale right now. The sale has about 16 hours or so left on it.

    TLDR: There wouldn't have been a point having an easy completions post about this discount, because there aren't really any of those games in this event.

    And many games here have a disc, and those that don't have been discounted before.

    Yet, this cheapest discount ever post is good info if none of the 3 things above apply to you wave
