XBL: Games with Gold

SuperTimeForce is damned good.. tight controls, lots of variety with characters and the story is pretty damned funny as well. So, if you haven't checked it out before, definitely give it a shot.

Crimson Dragon... hopefully that gets swapped out midway through the month.

I am really going to try and stop buying any smaller game on PSN/XBL. It's way too easy to get burned with the small libraries, and it really sucks since it takes away potential value from the subscription.

Definitely going to stop buying Arcade games and retail games on sale on 360.

3 or 4 ive bought during sales ended up free.
 
It'll be nice to have Reach digitally (although I can never seem to get back to my 360).

I find that with GwG and PS+ I so far have not picked up some of the early or smaller games as I can't shake the feeling they will be made available at some point. Looking forward to STF but since they are doing some of these smaller games it'd be nice if we got two. On general though I've been happy with what I'm getting and glad there haven't been any dupes between the two platforms.
 
STF is a great addition. Awesome! But MS should really increase the number of titles to compete with PS+ though. Might help move some more Bones if they played it right or at least matched Plus.

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 :)

Man, that sucks.

Don't know if changing the language might get it to show for you, like changing the website's home to the US or UK. Especially since the XB1 release, they seem to be encouraging the open region thing a lot more officially unlike on the 360.

ps+ supports more platforms that have cross buy too. I just got an Xbox one and there still really isnt much of anything on the market. Can't give away what they dont have.
 
I'm sooo happy I went with Broforce over Super Time Force when I was buying games on Steam.
I'll buy it on a Steam Crackhead Sale (tm) eventually tho.

I got Reach for free but don't remember why.......I think it had something to do with some beta I was in.

Anyone know what I'm talking about?

That was for a beta test regarding a 360 system update. It was the update that implemented a new type of security check for 360 game discs (and freed up 1gb of space on game discs that developers could now use). As part of the beta, MS sent participants free copies of Reach on special discs to test the new system. But some time after the system update went public, Reach received a title update that rendered the Reach discs from the beta unplayable when online. As compensation, MS emailed all the beta participants a free download code for the GoD version of Reach.

Totally true I am in the same boat. I'm not complaining just giving my opinion. So of course YMMV. :)
 
I'm annoyed as I'd already bought this game.

The problem with Games With Gold at the moment is the fact that a lot of the arcade games will be the next one so it is putting me off buying anything in the store.
 
I'm really not feeling Super Time Force. Controls feel clunky as hell, why am I forced to only aim in 8 directions and if I want to shoot diagonally I have to walk in that direction as well.

Not feeling it at all. It'll be nice to play Reach with a reasonable population though.


Oh and Monaco is fantastic in co-op.

Yeah same boat. Did not enjoy STF one iota.
 
Lococycle is good fun for 5.99. But it's probably gonna be free in the upcoming months. At this point I stopped buying anything but full retail games on day 1. The way games with gold works right now forces me not to buy any indie games at all anymore. It would be so much better if they were just saying "here is the list of games you haven't bought yet, you can get X for free for this month". That way they don't discourage people from buying the cheaper games. But having bought STF at launch and having played it for like two hours makes me judge better where to spend my money.
