So I've heard. I researched Thief quite a bit when it first came out, which is why I wouldn't pay money for it. But I was hoping it would be free for Plus members so I could at least try it out for myself since I generally do enjoy stealth gameplay in period or fantasy/sci-fi settings. Maybe I should just stick to the Hitman Trilogy games we got in December.
 
The Metroid Prime trilogy is on sale on the eShop for $10 until February 4. For those that don't know, the Prime Trilogy was the 3 FPS Metroid games released for the Gamecube and Wii (2 GC, 1 Wii) that were released for a limited time on the Wii back in 2009. It was only out for 6 months so it is now extremely rare. Now it is not only available easily but you're getting 3 full games for $9.99 (discounted 50% from the regular $19.99).

Amazon product ASIN B002VBWIP6
I'm not sure if this is even worth posting because there are always deals on Xbox Live subscriptions. I just received an email saying my Live was going to expire in a couple months. I checked Amazon to see their pricing because I knew I could do better than the $60 auto-renew price. Amazon has a year of live available as an instant code for $39.99

Humble Bundle is having a sale on Star Wars games. You can get a whole bunch of classic Star Wars games. If nothing else, getting KOTOR for $1 is a deal that can NOT be beat, but even the higher tiered games are good deals as they include Force Unleashed games along with their RTS game. Apparently a lot of people are doing the big $12 deal (9 games) as the average price is now nearly $10. Also more games are going to be announced in the bundle next week.

Since i already have KOTOR 1 and 2 I think I'll wait to see what games are added next week. It's a real bummer that Star Wars Battlefront 2 is no longer playable online because that would make this a much better deal. Apparently Empire at War's online servers have been shut down too whatever that's worth.

My PS Plus subscription expires this month too. I haven't seen any great discounts on another year though. It looks like that Best Buy deal would save me $5.

Gamefly is having a used games sale. In my opinion Metro Redux for $17.99, Wolfenstein for $13.49, Assassin's Creed: Black Flag for $13.49, and Watch Dogs for $11.69 are probably the best deals for PS4/Xbox One owners.

I would buy Metro Redux for $17.99 myself if I didn't already have both of the games in that package for PC.

Far Cry 4 is the Gold Box deal of the day. It's $29.99 on all platforms. I'm just going to buy it and cancel my Gamefly subscription until I catch up on some games I've been meaning to get to. Namely, Far Cry 4, Shadow of Mordor, South Park, Dues Ex: Human Revolution, Saints Row IV plus the Gat out of Hell expansion, and maybe Sleeping Dogs.

I've decided I'm going to buy it but I haven't decided between PS4 and PC yet. I want to read up on how it will perform with my gaming PC before making the purchase. If I go PS4 I can try co-op with Zookster and anyone else who takes advantage of this deal. If I go PC I can download it today, play all weekend, and potentially have a better performing game.

I'd say get the PC version. Don't forget that you can get mods for the PC version and it can increase the life of the game.

That's where I was leaning too. Far Cry 3 ran great on my machine but I have read that Ubisoft games don't always work well with AMD GPUs. I just wanted to make sure there were no glaring issues with that before I pulled the trigger. From what I've been able to find, it sounds like Ubi did a much better job with the PC version of Far Cry 4 than their other recent games.

It looks like Ultra settings with enhanced god rays will be around 30FPS average with some nasty dips with my setup but if I drop it down to "very high" I should average around 48FPS. I'll probably just go with "very high" and lock the framerate at 30 to keep it smooth.
 
I won't jump on FC4 before I delve into FC3. I got the deluxe edition for like $8 last year and still haven't installed it.
