Three months in a row? I don't have an Xbox One, bruh. I'm golden over here.

The issue is with Pool Nation for 3rd time in a row. Yeah the Massive Chaliace is a good deal but I'm not particularly interested in it.
Only reason for pool nation to still be there is probably a free AAA game at e3!
One can dream
Actually... that does make quite a lot of sense.
Yet you don't mention the other game that they've handed out for the past 3 months. We have a right to complain, it's awful.
And I have zero interest in Massive Chalice.
Only if it's exclusive to tier 1.
We're still getting the 1 new X1 game every month we're supposed to get.
That's always been the deal, we get 1 new game a month.
The only difference here is that instead of Castle Storm being up for 2 months, Pool has been up for 3.
The Pool Nation complaint is fair, but there's always going to be someone who's not interested in a game, no matter how good it is. For example, I couldn't care less about Rayman, but I couldn't even imagine trying to bitch about it when it was GwG.

I've been satisfied with GwG overall.
Two new games every month would be better, but for me, most of the time that would just mean an extra game I already have or am going to try for an hour and never play again. It was the same thing with PS+ for me (PS3, don't have a PS4 yet).
I think the worst aspect of Pool Nation being a GwG for three months is that it's not even the best pool game on the platform.

Poolnation is fucking excellent by the way!
Thanks for the heads up. Downloading now. Gonna pause on my Witcher play through until the XP bug is fixed.

Just Cause 2 is also up, at least on the US Web Store.
Is Massive Chalice really just 971 MB like it says on Xbox.com?
If so, it's the smallest new game I've hears about this gen, nice.
And since no one put up the link, here it is: https://store.xbox.com/en-US/Xbox-One/Games/MASSIVE-CHALICE/00cb3408-89f4-4006-90bd-11c6b9d3e422

Just played about an hour of Massive Chalice...
Oh yeah, I can definitely see myself getting way into this game like I did with XCOM. It's very, very good. Also has me in the mood for some GoT, which should be up on HBO Go right now so I'm outta here!

For me it fell apart after about 30 minutes. Its no X-com thats for damn sure.
Is there an easy option? I hope so. I love Double Fine games, but I'm rubbish at this genre.
Doug Heffernan

There's a normal mode. If you're not into the genre, just be sure to save before every battle and you can probably trial and error your way through it. Though you won't get much enjoyment that way.
I'd recommend really embracing this genre if you're gonna play. It's very fun! Though not for everyone I suppose...
Just accept that you're gonna lose high levels troops, you're gonna lose battles; no matter what sometimes. That's kind of what makes the genre so engaging.
Ok this is pissing me off. I'm getting "Your purchase cannot be completed at this time. Please try again." from the web store when I try to get Just Cause 2. No problems getting Massive Chalice.
And I can't do it from my 360, since that is in Australia and I am currently in Thailand.
I had no issues getting me PS plus games this month either. Does this eventually clear up? I've heard of previous occasions where it came good after a while. Still, it's 5th June now.

I had that happen with Army of Two. I couldn't be bothered to boot my Xbox for it, but I tried a couple times and the issue never resolved itself. Maybe track down customer service, or maybe a friend has an Xbox?

I see this a lot in regards to both ps+ and gwg. Yeah your getting a 20$ Game for the equivalent of 5$ but if castlestorm and pool nation were on sale for 5$ I probably wouldn't buy them. That's how I feel about most of these free offerings with the exception of a few.
My long shot is to call my house sitter (who isn't a gamer at all) and get him to try and claim it. What a load of shit.

I have a feeling Watch_Dogs will be given away by this or PS+ soon.

Probably 2-3 months before Watch_Dogs 2 so they can try and drum up some hype for the series. It's the same reason why I expect Tomb Raider 2013 to go on GWG at some point in the next several months.

so I just wanted to download Iron Brigade on 360 again (played it when it was free with games with gold) and I can't download it for free, they wanna charge me for it. Does anybody know what's up with that?
edit: nevermind, was able to download it through my download history

How is the 360 version of Thief?

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
I've heard chatter that they're going to surprise us all with Pool Nation FX for free.
Yes.
No. I think the best we can hope for as an "available now" announcement at E3 is an open beta for Fable Legends.

Would be kinda cool if when they show rise of the tomb raider, they announced tomb raider de as free available right then

Aw, come on, only joking.
I quite like the sound of this, it makes Tomb Raider seem like it's more theirs too. I've already got it so it's no use to me but I imagine it'll be new to a lot of people.
Actually they should do just this for fucking up and not releasing the whole trilogy!!... i mean PS4 owners are getting all 3 Uncharted games in one HD remastered pack...but yet again us XB1 owners get shafted!!! I bet they try and charge full price or near enough for the game as well
