Didn't MS make it hard to buy from other regions like Brazil, Argentina, etc?

Just started Immortals last night and am really enjoying it. If you want a BotW sort of experience with a bit of that Ubisoft open world flavor, and a really fun way of telling the story, pick it up!
All Splinter Cell games on Xbox One X/Series X are 4k enhanced. All of them are 30fps.
Thank you all! I'll check it out through the Trial first.
Strangely, I discovered that Pandora Tomorrow isn't available on PC so the console version is the only way to play it now.
They did but it's still entirely manageable.
I regularly buy from the US and Brazilian stores despite being in the UK.
Conviction and Blacklist are the most modern for new players and the easiest to get into.
Double Agent has both original Xbox and Xbox 360 versions available, and both have enhanced resolution, is that corrrect? Sounds like that could be a fascinating side-by-side comparison.
Yeah, I wrote it earlier that I lost progress two days in a row :( this is super annoying.
I wonder if AC: Valhalla has the same issue.
So glad Xbox has great return policies, received refund confirmation 1 minute after the request. I knew Division 2 was only cross play on Stadia/PC but thought it was cross progress on all platforms. No way do I want to go through all of that again.
Now to find another game to waste money on...

Never loss a single second of gameplay after more than 120 hours in!
There are better guides online for how to do it, but the short version is that you save a Brazilian address on your account and redeem BR XBox Gift cards which you can buy from places like cdkeys.
The international prices aren't always cheaper when factoring in any additional charges for the vouchers, but I I've bought new releases for as much as 60% off just by using international storefronts.
I wish legends and origins would go on sale on Wii U. I'd love to own them there. I will probably grab forgotten Sands. All these splinter cell titles I own and just reinforce my desire for a new title
Pretty sure that was already on sale recently
Cool. Thanks a lot for the info. I'll probably sell Immortals (I did some things yesterday that I don't really want to do again) and get Valhalla then.
I liked it enough to finish it but not to do everything on the map. It closes on FC5 story quite nicely IMO.
If I have Valhalla on PC, will the cross save work? Will the achievements pop up immediately?
Console versions are fine, but no idea how those blurry backgrounds will look on a large screen TV. However, there are a lot of good mods for the games and save editors and portraits that wouldn't be present on a console.
Only thing to be careful of is that the Valhalla + WD2 bundle is the base game of both. If you're at all interested in the season pass, I'd hold off if you can.
Ubisoft tends to mark down their gold editions aggressively over time, but not so much the season pass as a 'fuck you' to the people who bought the base game.

The ones with available gift cards are still working nice. Brazil is still ok to buy.
Buy a gift card - click to buy the game and when its to pay, redeem the gift card and done.

Heard the first DLC sucks. It's just a bunch of challenge rooms.
If you liked the puzzles from the main game, it's a ton more of that. I loved it. The people I typically see complaining are the ones who didn't like that part of the main game.
These are some really good prices. I think publishers may want to time their sales more closely with enhancement releases (i.e., Framerate Boost) to maximize their gains, if weirdos like me are any indication. I bought physical copies of Far Cry 4 and Watch Dogs 2 after the announcement, which presumably didn't send much to the publisher. I'd have bought these digitally in a heartbeat, if they had been available at the time.
I really loved it.
I played it right after Far Cry 5. 5 was good, and beautiful, but I didn't really like the weapon progression and the random kidnappings were annoying as well.
New Dawn, on the other hand, is the most original-feeling Far Cry game since Blood Dragon IMO, and I've basically played them all. The weapons are tons of fun, with some cool RPG-lite progression systems, and it's absolutely STUNNING to look at. Definitely worth the $12.
Thank you for the impressions! Hopefully it receives a Series X patch and I can play it at 60fps :)
I redeemed some of my reward points and picked up Watch Dogs 2: Gold Edition for $17.99. I loved the first one and I really want to check out Legions but I might as well give Watch Dogs 2 a shot now that it got the 60 FPS update. I'm a sucker for open world games and anything cyberpunk (adjacent) themed. I'm also a fan of Ubisoft style open world games.
Does Ubisoft Connect allow for achievement unlocks yet? Wondering if it would be worth grabbing Immortals on Xbox
Yeah, for some reason they're not doing it with Division even though it was announced. Oh well.
It's more Far Cry with an emphasis on stats and leveling up. I loved it personally because I dig the FC formula and it also doesn't overstay its welcome.
It's also a visually sumptuous game.
Picked Watch Dogs Legion and played for 5 hours straight. It's really fun, and an impressively dense vision London. It's also gorgeous. And the 30fps is smooth besides cutscenes.
Dragged out my 360 to try to move over some Splinter Cell saves to Cloud and it turns out you can't move Conviction saves... lol
I forgot developers could just opt out of letting people move their saves on 360.

Ah, that might explain why some of my conviction stuff didn't carry over.
Oddly, my multiplayers unlocks and such did, so maybe that's stored Ubi-side or something? But my completions for Terrorist Hunt and the other MP modes had all gone when I righted a years-old wrong and finally 1k'd the game late last year.
Did you try both Copy and Move? A lot of times the game won't let you copy saves but it will let you move them.
Yeah, I tried Move and it didn't work. I had to drag out my 360, download the game, and then select the cloud storage as the default storage option within the game to get it to point there.
It's worse because I saw that some people whose files weren't properly synced to the cloud can't even start the game... I guess it's an artifact of how they implemented it.
Funny enough, two things: the 360 is so... out of date when it comes to file management. lol
USB devices don't need to be formatted anymore and you can back up your saves on your on PC after copying them to USB.
I'd recommend the original Xbox version, which has a few more missions, some different level layouts, a bit more narrative along the way, and still doesn't look bad. The 360 version is obviously going to look better visually, but even immediately at the time, the base Xbox version was regarded as the better package.
I just started replaying that version last night, and it holds up once you come to grips with the controls, and having enemies that actually have reasonable eyesight in a videogame. Also SAVE SCUM LIKE CRAZY, there's no shame in that.
