XBL: Games with Gold

It's highly impressive that Alex Kibkalo would be able to leak those lists, given that he was fired by Microsoft in September 2012. There's also the fact that he's has been in federal custody since 19 March when he was arrested for leaking prerelease copies of Windows RT, and is currently awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty. The supposed reddit thread doesn't seem to exist either.
 
Games for June: Dark Souls and Charlie Murder, additionally Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition.
Got Dark Souls already, but everyone should get it.
Charlie murder and Street fighter are new, so awesome.

And Xbox One gets Spartan assault and Max curse of the brotherhood.
 
God dammit. Bought SF4:AE last month, and I got Dark Souls during the Winter Sale. Never heard of Charlie Murder though, so maybe that will be good.
 
So Games with Gold on Xbox One follows the PS+ model. You'll only have subscription based access to the games, that means you cannot play them without an active gold membership, right?
 
Me too. I'm totally uninterested by that game, but hearing a lot of people praising it got me alittle curious.

I bet there's going to be a new round of complaints on how hard it is on the Internet. Though I bought this for $5, I don't feel ripped off for the free offering at all.

I'm looking forward to SR3, though.

Yeah I think so too lol. But I'm not the kind to complain. I know that the main feature of the game is the difficulty.
 
I think this restriction is only for the X1 games.

Thats a bummer for me. I dont always renew my PS+ or Xbox Live subscriptions, because I dont play Multiplayer so often and thats why I never "bought" Download only titles in the Instant Game Collection, because I dont want to pay a subscription to play those games.

Owning them was the only big advantage of Game with Gold and I hoped that this would stay with Xbox One.

The onliest reason to renew Xbox Live is now Sky Go and their airing of Game of Thrones next month...

You don't need Gold to access those apps anymore starting next month. Also I think having the restriction to games with gold will allow us to have newer games.
 
I hope this isn't the real list for my own personal gain I already own most of the games there that I would even want to try and no Shadow Complex

The list was pretty much debunked when Microsoft announced the June GWG will be Dark Souls, Charlie Murder, and Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition.

Oh I forgot to check the date of the posts, I figured since this thread for upped I figured it was legit my bad!
 
Right i forgot about that. I've been close to buying it a few times but im not sure if the game is good but at 50-75% off i might bite

You don't have to worry. A lot of people bought the game with no good expectations but came after saying how great it was, myself included. I bought it with low expectations but had a blast, I don't regret buying it full price. You should check the last pages of the Ryse OT.

If you check the official thread you'll see a lot of people surprised at how much they enjoyed it. Perhaps thats always the way but if its 75% off I would think thats a great price for the game and I would recommend you give it a try :)
 
It would be funny if MS offers Kinect games in July (both that exist. ;) Sport and that dance game).
Just to troll buyers of new kinectless bundle

MS please dont do it!

I'm sure they'll continue with more "arcade" games. Probably Powerstar Golf and Crimson Dragon.
 
I remember reading that it's subscription based now, so yes you lose access to playing them without Xbox live
I thougt that was for the Xbox One offerings.

EDIT: Ninja'd. Glad to hear confirmation nevertheless though. There will come a time in 2016 when all of my cheap Xbox Live subs I've stacked will come to an end, and I'll have lost interest in being a Gold member.
 
I think that's only for the Xbox One offerings. Not sure tho

What does X1 stand for then ?

BTW guys, how does remote downloading work exactly? I'll be away from my console for a year after the summer :( Can I just remotely download these games with gold, to have them on it when i return?

I'm assuming you can just hop onto store.Xbox.com for the Xbox One and purchase/redeem it from there and it'll add the license to your account.
 
you don't need to complete the download, you just need to confirm the purchase.

Oh man that would be amazing. I could come back the year after and have 2x12=24 games waiting for me :O ( if they continue releasing 2 per month from June onwards)

Edit: Ok according to customer support and their twitter account, I can indeed (as you guys said) purchase them on the website and download them to the console when i come back.
