How long do you leave it until you just buy the game? Or does it become a perpetual 'maybe next month' attitude?

I have only bought 2 games on PS4 even though I got mine at launch. I will wait forever if I have to for most games.

I do buy some games. I bought Max, Peggle, CD, Powerstar, Halo SSS, Another World even Contrast.
However everytime I am going to buy a game nos I feel a Little regret cause they may be offered for free soon. I still thinking about getting Outlast, because it is a good candidate.
Outlast for October would be awesome.
Anyways, I've bought a few of these games and enjoyed them. STF is really great and I'm really happy that you guys are going to play it. I'm not the type of person to have buyers remorse over 10-15 dollars especially when I know that there's a program like this going on. This is where the industry has gone on consoles, I've accepted it. This doesn't prevent me from enjoying a game day 1 if I want to. Maybe some of you need to be a little more cautious about what you spend and I can appreciate that, but at least for me when a game hits GWG and I already own it I look at it as a positive.

Yea I just bought Spec Ops a month ago because I was jonesing to play it and figured it was never gonna go on sale again and now it's $4.50. The good thing is I've learned my lesson and will never buy a game that isn't part of one of these sales again. I recently picked up Farcry 3 as well as the Rockstar tri-fecta of awesomeness: Read Dead, MP 3, and LA Noire. That's four great games for $30, the same price I paid for Spec Ops.

I doubt he has any authority on this stuff.
still a good game, shouldn't complain

To be honest, I don't remember any BAD game in GWG program except Crimson Dragon.
Mainly people are disappointed in these games because all the games offered in 360 are too old, and chances are most of us already have it. On Xbox One, looks like its down to one new game a month now.

oh man another batch of indie games.
You do realize there are very few games even out right? And that it hasn't even been a year since launch. If they gave two new games every month, they're really going to hamper their own sales.
Some people are so delusional, they expect Forza, Dead Rising 3 or Ryse to be free as well.

Wasn't Crimson Dragon a August GwG deal?
Yeah, they're carrying it over, as they have a few other games, another month. It's understandable because there aren't that many games to give out and STF is amazing.

I would suggest you to please read my post again. And fyi I have never and I still don't expect AAA games on Xbox One anytime soon.
I get what you're saying. Just seeing two games then all of a sudden one game makes it feel like you're getting less of a value for your money. I'm happy with any "free" game. Personally I don't sub to Gold for the hand outs, it's just a welcomed bonus.
Agree. STF is amazing. Halo: Reach for Xbox 360 is solid despite being older and Monaco didn't get much attention but is solid too. Good month for GwG IMO despite the Crimson Dragon repeat, but not spectacular.
Not a single new release game in the bunch this month? Well that sucks. STF is a good pick but they should have given both the 360 and Xbone versions at least though. 3 games total still feels like a bit of a gip, especially when one is something so many of us have played to death like Reach.
My Live sub is up in a few weeks and with me getting shot of my Xbone it's not looking like it'll be worthwhile maintaining it for 360 alone anymore. So it's probably for the best.

No, that's only possible if the system has actually launched where you live. I'm from Denmark and because the One isn't out here yet, you haven't been able to redeem gold games with a Danish account. Only option would be to get a foreign account and buy gold there, but then I'd either be giving up my Danish account or be paying for two gold memberships at the same time. Not that enticing an option.
Luckily, Xbox One launches here in a week or so, giving us access to Games with Gold for the system. Yay

I already have Monaco, but I'm glad now it should be easier to find people to play with. I'm pretty sure it bombed on 360.
There isn't.

Super Time Force is a great pickup, looking forward to playing that eventually.
Did we already get Reach at some point? So sure I already have it through GwG for some reason

Xbox One isn't out in The Netherlands yet either, and it's been possible to get the GwG stuff from the very beginning, so I don't know why it wouldn't work in Denmark.

Very happy with super time force. I vary rarely say this about games because there are people who like crimson dragon, but that is a boring game. Normally I can get sort of into a game even if it's not that good, I couldn't at all with CD.

Halo 3, but not Reach.
Dammit. Was hoping to get STF for 360. Balls.
Isn't there Gold sharing between accounts on the same Xbox One? Or is there some regional thing preventing you from sharing with a US account or something?No, that's only possible if the system has actually launched where you live.

yeah, that's the kicker.
there's no way around this for X1 GwG at this point in time. If only X1 is getting some of that stuff PS4 is getting for a bigger GwG indie library. It's hard but I think I'll still put my foot forward with games that give off that "oh look this looks totally like it's made for GwG" look
Ori looks like it's gonna be a GwG material within 6 months. I'll still buy it full price.

Unfortunately, it doesn't:
Translation: When Xbox One is launched, Xbox Live Gold members will also be able to get free games on Xbox One.
Translation: Xbox One games store is not supported in your region at this time.
I suppose we'll get access soon, since the system is launching next week. Also, and completely unrelated, Microsoft should hire some better translators to avoid spelling mistakes in Danish
There is. Otherwise you'd be able to download Games with Gold from every region with a single account. Like I said previously, I could make a foreign account, but I'd either be paying for two accounts or be giving up my Danish one, which, naturally, is the one I use for gaming with my friends.
