BC Deals With Gold for the Week of July 28th, 2020

Well, I did finish Noir Chronicles over the past week.  It went pretty fast at the end and it was one of those games when I finished the story, I finished all of the achievements too which was nice.  The same can’t be said for Dear Esther which I did finish the main story but I had to go back to get the first chapter Urn (which I missed) and now I’m going through the Director’s Commentary (about half done).  I appreciate the game for what it’s trying to do (and it is gorgeous to look at) but I just wish there was more of a point to it.  After that, I’m not sure what I’m going to play next, it could be Borderlands 3 or maybe another story-centric type game (think Plague Tale: Innocence).  Not sure just yet.

Right now, there are some Xbox One sales but unfortunately no Xbox 360 sales.  Last week, I did buy the premium edition of Batman: Arkham Knight since it was only $10 (and I  had a $5 reward to burn).  It seemed like one of those I should probably just go ahead and buy things even though I probably don’t want to dive into it just yet.

Anyway, I will add to this should we get any Xbox 360 sales but I’m going to guess that the 360 sales are probably on the way out with all of the announcements on the new systems lately.  My major source of frustration was that they halted production on the Xbox One X.  I have two Xbox One’s, the regular (Forza Blue edition) and then a Xbox One X, and I was just hoping that I could replace it if it broke down.  Hopefully that won’t happen anytime soon for either model.  The good news is that the new system will support backwards compatibility on all existing 360/OG BC titles and all Xbox One titles (except for those that are Kinect only).

I guess in the meantime I need to figure out the next step for this site.  I would like it to be a review site, but that means I need to start reviewing more (and not just for my old friend Gino on Upcomingdiscs.com).  But that will come and I’m certainly not abandoning this site anytime soon.  So enjoy, and take care.
