Is life is strange worth picking up?
spanjones to nathan3007

By all accounts, yes, especially at the price it is available for. I bought it when it was cheap on the Russian store a month or so ago and waiting until I have a weekend free to blitz it, but I have read nothing but good reviews.

Has anyone played Nightmares from the Deep? Had a quick look earlier and looks alright, but was wondering if anyone on here has actually played it?

Don't be tempted by THPS at any price, it's like playing a PS2 game but worse.

is that even after the last patch ? i wouldnt pay that amount for the xbox one version anyway. no reason it shouldnt be the same price as the 360 version. just greed at end of the day
Cameron92 to BoB2oo9
8 Mar 16#14
So is it worse than THPS3/4 on PS2?
If its the same I'd be happy to play that. I've been tempted to pick it up for a while as I loved THPS2, 3 and 4 on my old Xbox back as a young teen.

No idea when it was patched, I had it for about 2-3 days before selling it, it was SO bad, and I bought it once it was like £25 or something, way after release date.... feel sorry for the sucker who bought off me on eBay

apparently the last patch sorted out a lot of the problems and added some extra content. but i still wouldnt buy at this price. sub £10 and i would buy it. just out of nostalgia more than anything else.

Amazing how they can screw up what should be such a (relatively) simple game to make. Used to love THPS :disappointed:

Mad Max is £18.97 in canada 2p more for less messing around.

Nothing for me this time around. The Xbox store does have some good deals at times. I got UFC and Abe's Odyssey for £6.00 a piece

You know when you go, "oh I haven't played road rash in years, I should buy a PS1 and stick it on" then you buy one, wait for the game to come from Ebay, you boot it all up and the anticipation is so intense you can hardly wait!
then it loads, and you load up the first level, and suddenly you say to yourself.... "This is ****" switch it off and stick Black ops 3 back on...... it's just like that.

Brazil is known for needing a SS Number, so you need to buy vouchers.. but see below
ahh never mind, i forgot about sales tax i rarely buy from Canada.
Box
8 Mar 16#21
Brazil used to work fine for me without a SS#. Now nothing works with my revolut card on the ms store so everything a mess on now!. I've had to get vouchers for everything. I try stick to brazil (vouchers from offgamers) and russia (vouchers from a mates sister in law :P) now. cheap to source. seen some sites selling russian credit for double its value. completely wipes out any savings you make!

I buy 99% from russia as its usually the best price or if not its usually between a £1.00 also my revolut works every time, i use Unlimited VPN (which is paid for) though and never any problems..
Box
8 Mar 161#23
I use a paid version of vyprvpn. (used to use free but kept leaving it on and going over the 500meg monthly limit) only worked out at like £3.50 a month with the link on TRP.
Just had a quick check after a payment failed on another site i've used before. the expiry date on my card has changed since i first got it! seems it may have happened when I got a physical card. Hopefully updating those will mean they'll all start working again and i wont need gift cards! (except from brazil :P)

Erm...where can I find these sites selling credit for double its value??!

I dont mean you get £20 worth for £10. i mean the other way
ie cardcodes.com 1000 rubles = €20
1000 rubles when converted right would be around €12.50
