[Rumor] Games with Gold August: Ryse, Slash Dash, Catherine, Fallout New Vegas

Slash Dash came out like 5 days ago, no way its GwG so quickly.

Also I find it hard to believe they would give us Legendary Edition of Ryse, a lot of what they do is use GwG to sell DLC etc.

True for Slash Dash. As for Ryse, wouldn't the guy trying to pass a fake try to at least make it seem legit? If I was going to fake it, I would put up believable titles, such as base games.
But then again, it originates from 4chan, it is a photo of a monitor, and at an angle.
 
Ryse, even the legendary edition, seems pretty reasonable to me.

But yeah, Slash Dash just releasing pretty much confirms it as a fake. There's never been such a quick turn around from release to GWG and all it would do is piss off people that already dropped $10 on it.
 
Having SlashDash already released this month makes it suspect. Also, would they give away the Legendary version of Ryse , or just the base to drive dlc sales?

We should know by the 30th - the trend is the last Thursday of each month.
 
Hopefully next month's GWG games are:

Master Chief Collection (XB1)
GTAV (XB1)
Assassin's Creed Rogue (360)
Cloning Clyde (XBLA)
 
Catherine would be so awesome. US gamers got screwed there. It was released on europe's ps plus but not America's. Now they are the same games every month so we will never get it. Gold is our only hope.
 
I would be very surprised if they distributed Ryse in the 'legendary edition'. That's a textbook example of a game you give for free in the barebones form in the hope of selling DLC down the line.
 
As a new Xbox One owner, what exactly do I have to do to claim the 360 games? I haven't owned a 360 for a few years now
 
On the topic of the legendary edition ... That's the only edition that's available to purchase digitally (in UK) so this could be legit


But it's probably fake .
 
Ryse is so horrible it should come free with every box. No one should be expected to pay for that game. But F:NV with BC on the horizon....

It's funny how BC got me to sign up for Gold since I don't play multiplayer but I let my Plus sub expire. Plus gives out great indie games but my indie taste is very narrow. I think for that reason Gold is a better value than plus right now
 
List them please, with details.

Sure!

Legendary Edition of Ryse - Usually free games are given on their base forms, to sell DLC.
Draw Slasher included - Just came out
Off-screen picture - telltale sign of a fake
"Slanted" angle on the picture - same, usual sign of a fake
Blurry picture - goes without saying, helps hide inconsistencies and blemishes on the photoshop work
4-chan/Reddit source with the exact same picture setup of the past month
 
Wasn't massive chalice only recently released before it hit gwg?

No, that launched on GwG

False. That honor goes to Max CoB.

You are terrible, Flash!

Ryse would be a great Gold game. For a launch game I actually thought Ryse was pretty damn good. Was it repetitive? Sure. But it was a "good" game, not great. The game actually gets better as the latter chapters are more interesting and the story is actually pretty good. I thought the game got a bad wrap due to the reveal and all the QTE fest complaints.

Catherine would be an amazing bonus. Have the disc for both, but will download anyways

Saw on Reddit, but they link to 4chan.


Fake.

It says Ryse is free for the entire month and Slash Dash is free from mid Aug. to mid Sept.

That makes no sense.

Edit:

Also doesn't Ryse Legendary edition come with all the DLC? They haven't released a game like that for GWG. No way they'd include the season pass stuff.
 
I was going to get Ryse on Steam, but I'll play on Xbox One for that price. I've been meaning to pick up Catherine (hope it's made BC), I have a late game save from New Vegas on 360 I'd like to finish, and SlashDash might be fun. I hope this happens, even if it won't, at least not all in August.

AC4 is free all month, but you are right about the DLC.
