Sweet! Shame for the many who've bought Ground Zeroes already (especially so for that unfortunate cross-section who'd also bought Black Flag before last month), but nice to see quality releases continuing. How to Survive has very good user-ratings on Steam, and co-op could be entertaining.

Really hoping Metro games are added to BC however unlikely it is with the collection already in-play.

 

[VE3TRO]

Nice for Ground Zeroes. Already 100% but feel like playing through again before Phantom Pain hits.

Got both Metro on 360, XB1 and PC so no need for it again. Have been interested for a while to check out How to Survive - Storm Warning.

 

[arhra]

Not a great month for me, already own 3/4 (bought GZ when it was <£5 on PS4, and even if I hadn't it was on PS+ a few months later, and got Metro Redux on sale last year).

Is How to Survive any good?

 

[redmetal86]

Neat, double Metro.

 

[Fuchsdh]

Nah, that's just PS+ that does that, I think.

Nope, the XB1 GwG works via your Gold sub. It's only on 360 you get to keep the games regardless of Gold status.

 

[Daffy Duck]

Got GZ on PS+ bit interested in the zombie game and I'll wait till I get the Redux pack on either console to experience Metro.

 

[Persona RS]

i might be wrong on this, but you only get the GWG games if you have a current sub. ie, even if you download ryse when/if its available, you'd only be able to play with a gold subscription.

That's true for Xbox One. For Xbox 360, you can keep the games even when your sub lapses.

 

[op_ivy]

yeah, the poster was referring to ryse, a x1 game. thanks for clarifying though.

He is correct. On xb1 it works just like plus. On 360 you get to keep the games.

#wewantRyseorweRiot!

Hopefully Ryse will come next month... but wishful thinking ? right.

I feel like a broken record lmao, I wish for Ryse every month and then when it doesn't come I'm like 'maybe next month' .

I rented it from ganefly and really liked it. I will get it some day, either through GWG or a sale.

 

[airborn]

Pretty decent month.

I was expecting Metro 2033 to show up at some point, since we've gotten quite a few titles from THQ's backlog already.

 

[stn]

In for both Metro games! Awesome month.

 

[Welfare]

Already own GZ and the Metro games through Redux.

How is How to Survive?

 

[sangreal]

cool; all games I don't already own

 

[User 479360]

Wow, that's a very disappointing list. Only because I've beaten Metro 2033, played a lot of/own Last Light and beaten Ground Zeroes.

 

[op_ivy]

this looks like a great place to post this

FS or trade. ryse. pm me an offer.

 

[Docpan]

How does Dead Rising 3 compare to the Last of Us? Looking to play some more badass zombie shit.

i think the only thing you can compare is the "zombies", lol.

dead rising 3 is pretty fantastic though. i had a blast with it. great exploration and zombie killing madness. tedious bosses though.

Ah, okay. I've only got a 360 and assumed it was the same.

 

[Black Republican]

i agree on Ryse, should def' be on gold. The last fight and

Spoiler

the QTE near the end where he's half dead in the hallway getting stabbed and slicing those soldiers

were amazing parts imo

 

[Zach]

The Metro games are quite good if you haven't played them. Ground Zeroes is a great little appetizer before The Phantom Pain. How to Survive looks fairly interesting.

Solid month!

Spoiler

No pun intended.

 

[Chiaroscuro]

Solid month, bit I already have the 2 xbox one games and the metro games on it too. May download the 360 versions.

 

[tilomite!]

Nothing much for me, already own 3/4.

 

[blue_phazon]

Yes I'm so happy MGS is on there because I specifically didn't buy it because I wanted to wait till it was free

 

[sangreal]

How does Dead Rising 3 compare to the Last of Us? Looking to play some more badass zombie shit.

I enjoyed both, but they are absolutely nothing alike. Completely different genres/moods/etc

 

[Don Draper's Hat]

Dead Rising is "badass zombie shit".

The Last of Us is nothing of the sort.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Not a great month on X1, 360 keeps delivering though.

Two amazing games on offer.

You dress up as a shark and kill zombies with a dildo gun in DR3.

 

[SkinnerSw33t]

Tough month for me. I couldn't even get through Ground Zeroes, and I own Metro Redux. I'll give How to Survive a shot though.

janky internet connection made me accidentally double post. See below.

You can snag Ryse digitally for like $15 through Game Deal Daily. I believe it's in stock today.

[cackhyena]

Nice. I've never played a Metal Gear Solid game before.

From a story standpoint...well you might as well resolve yourself to being utterly lost. From a game play perspective? You couldn't have started at a better place. Once you get the controls down, the choice available are pretty great. Just a great stealth game/demo.

 

[Scully Scully Scoo]

mgs!! awesome. no way in hell i was paying for a 40min demo, game looks awesome though cant wait to play it

ms on point last 2 months

 

[SmokedMeat]

Blah month for me personally. I already have the Redux Metros on the Bone and MGS on PS4 via Plus.

 

[Pizza con salsiccia]

Still impossible to get Gear 3.

WTF Microsoft?!

 

[KeyboardThug]

Why can you not get it?

 

[Nheco]

Nah, that's just PS+ that does that, I think.

for 360, the game is yours, forever. For One, you need to have a valid gold subscription, just like ps+

 

[Akai__]

Still impossible to get Gear 3.

WTF Microsoft?!

It's not tied to Gears 3. I had the same happening to me last months for Just Cause 2 and Thief. I don't know what the workarround was, maybe it's changing your region or trying to download it via xbox.com.

 

[Roberto Larcos]

Was waiting for Ground Zeroes, looking forward to playing it. Feel like How to Survive will end up being one of those that I 'buy', download, and never even play.

 

[Pizza con salsiccia]

Why can you not get it?

It's like the fifth time I try to get it. I'm away from home for two weeks, so cannot try again using my 360 (but it failed twice as well).

Désolé
Impossible de terminer votre achat pour le moment. Réessayez ultérieurement.

Sorry

Impossible to finalize your purchase now. Try again later.




This shows after I try to confirm the download.

 

[wesleyshark]

Ground Zeroes! Yes! I haven't played that yet. Glad I waited.

If hour account is US and you are not there M rated games cannot Be bought or download. The only way to bypass it is using a vpn. You only need to start (1%) and finish (99%) the donwload using the vpn.

Euro account, and I'm still in Europe. Never had this problem before.

Are you sure, because I never had issues buying any M rated game and my account was always US (while I'm in Europe). The only trouble where I actually had to use VPN's is for Gears 1 and Gears 2 since they are on the index here in Germany.

 

[Chiaroscuro]

It is related on how the game is rated and available in different markets.

I am in Brazil and cannot download M rated games from us.

Try a free vpn service to see if Works.

Maybe it's a issue with those games, not region related. I'm saying this because I have Thief from games on demand on my 360, but recently when I look to the game covers under "My Games" The Thief cover does not load, and it appears as a generic game cover (like when you aren't connected to the Xbox Live).

My xbox live region is Brazil.

 

[Montresor]

My brother has the Ground Zeroes disc but I'm glad I can own Ground Zeroes digitally now. I'm happy for that.

I don't care about the other games, but it looks a good month overall (based off the consensus quality of the games).

 

[Nairume]

Is How to Survive any good?

It's a fun enough coop game that has some charming elements to it.

 

[speedomodel]

Awesome month, don't have the Xbox One titles so in for those!

I have both Metro games but not digitally on 360 so definitely going to add to queue

 

[matrixman92]

I have all of those except for How To Survive, but it doesnt look like something I would enjoy
