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.

Forza Horizon 4 has 80% discount and it will get delisted this December.

All DLCs are now on simple Deluxe and Ultimate edition.

Might as well grab it before gone.

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.

Also, if it gets delisted, you will be unable to play single player or multiplayer. I found this out the hard way with Forza Motorsport 7 and Gran Turismo Sport.

I have the physical DVDs or BluRay disks for both games. Neither will work even for single player because you have to download the tracks from the server every single race. No server means no tracks.

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.
