XBL: Games with Gold

Some people were thinking Volgarr since it's going through final cert now (or passed it?) and would be a good free title. I was going to buy it anyways.

Passed cert last week or week before, they've said a couple of time news is coming soon and they think people will be happy, most games pass cert and get released so thats what makes me think its Games With Gold.

It might not be but would perhaps be a good game for it
 
I've sort have accepted that the XB1 games are going to be crap, kinda hoping for an interesting game for the 360 though. Something like Blue Dragon.
 
I'm still amazed they haven't gone with Ryse. It's the PERFECT candidate for the first retail game.

- No one buys it anymore
- Legendary Edition is already out anyway
- It has heaps of DLC (including the Legendary add-on)
- It has micro transactions
- Will help gain more interest in the franchise when people play it and realise how underrated it is

It may help spread good word of mouth on the game and get people BUYING the Legendary Edition once it's not free anymore.

This. I really want to try Ryse but I probably wouldn't pay more than $5 for it.

Edit: I've never felt like Crytek games have been worth $60... I loved Crysis 1 on 360 but it was $15. Crysis 2 I got full price and it was just OK, but the value just isn't there. (Mostly shallow gameplay/characters I think...)

Ryse was rated appropriately in my opinion, but I agree with you. It's a perfect candidate. I think as a game for extended play, it's dog shit. But in short bursts it's great. I borrowed it from a buddy and am glad I didn't buy it. But I'd be lying in saying id wouldn't mind playing it again for an hour as its a gorgeous game. It's still the best looking console game IMO.

Would like to see this happen. Want to give it a try but wouldn't be willing to pay for it. Is it Kinect only?
 
Völgar is fucking GREAT. Would be an awesome GWG title, probably the best game you can wish for at the moment if only indies are concerned.

Not a fan of the graphics and apparently it's hard as fuck!
Not my cup of tea you see.
I'd rather have Lococycle!

Solution:

1) They just released it for PC and want to sell this
2) They just released the legandary edition for X1 and want to sell this

:-)
 
More than likely fighter within. NOBODY in their right mind would buy that so it's ideal to give away for free...

Unless they give away another game with it, they won't do this. That's a Kinect only title, and I doubt people would be nice that we got that game for GWG.
 
Sony have a policy if games requiring a certain metascore to be eligible for PS+, Microsoft may have a similar rule, so we may never see any real stinkers like fighter within, regardless of how poorly it's sold.
 
It'd be great if both Sony and MS slowly started releasing a list of games that won't be given away for free anytime soon. For example, if Microsoft released a statement in April saying Lococycle will not be given for free anytime soon I'm sure more people would be inclined to buy it when it's on sale.

Seems like a bad idea from their perspective. If they announce these titles aren't going to be given away for free anytime soon, it would mean that titles not on the list might be and that would effectively kill sales or have them decline because people will say, this game will probably go free soon and wait it out. The way they have it now, provides them the best way to get sales. You don't know what will come or not. Sometimes it's a nice surprise, other times you'll be upset because you just bought that game at full price etc.
 
They should give us D4, then check via achievement stats how many complete the episodes and, being that'll be a resounding success, fund the continuation of the story and have great sales thanks to all the people now hooked to see how it ends.

Err... no? :(

Bring back Spartan Assault!

But it's a real stinker! So glad I haven't spent money on that turd.
And I love ds shooters. Man, leave it to them to develop an Halo dual stick shooter with severe pacing issues and fragmented gameplay... great idea guys, congrats

This will never ever happen.
 
Hope the "rumours" aren't true with the 360 games. The supposed possibilities are:

GTA 4
Mirrors Edge
Force Unleashed
RE Revelations
MK Arcade
TWD Season 1
Brink
Borderlands

I either own or just recently bought one of those or have already completed it. GTA is on special right now so it wont be that.

Edit. Sorry in advance for the bump with no news.

Brink and Force Unleashed would make me cry of sadness.

I'd be quite happy with Borderlands and RE Revelations, not had a chance yet to play either of them

Those aren't really rumours as much as a long list of random games.

I would happily take any of those over whats to come on XB1. :/
 
Not sure if this is the right place but Deals with Gold just put Titanfall up for $25 and the Season Pass for $8.25.

This is on the XB1, not sure what's on the 360.
 
I'd be happy if Resident Evil Revelations was one of the Games with Gold for the 360.That way new players can jump back in raid mode with me to kick more ass with me, even though I'm a max ranked player it'll still be fun to play again with new players. As for the Xbox One Games with Gold it'll be a toss up,no expecting much anyways in the first year of this program though I'm happy to take what I get.
 
The original Forza Horizon would be sweet.

Not holding my breath for two X1 games. The real star of the show for me is the free 360 games.
