XBL: Games with Gold
- Thread starter maomaoIYP
- Start date
Season 2 is good but not as good as Season 1. The Wolf Among Us is better than both TWD seasons.
Haven't played anything else because I don't like that they do 3/4 different games at the same time, waiting time was already ridicolous when they were developing only 1 game.
Yeah that's what I was thinking. Wait for an inevitable sale. Games are expensive enough with the Australia tax.
Appreciate all the feedback guys.

Found this on another forum, no idea if true...
Xbox One
1st November - 30th November: Pneuma - Breath of Life
16th November - 15th December: Knight Squad
Xbox 360
1st November - 15th November: Dirt 3
16th November - 30th November: Dungeon Siege III
Xbox One
1st November - 30th November: Pneuma - Breath of Life
16th November - 15th December: Knight Squad
Xbox 360
1st November - 15th November: Dirt 3
16th November - 30th November: Dungeon Siege III
If that's true, it's a great month for 360, and another disappointing one for One...

That would be a meh month for me.
That would be nice. I have been wanting to play Pneuma and Dirt 3. Dungeon Siege III is also really fun.

When do they normally announce GwG? Is it not normally around now?

Pneuma would be a nice addition IMO, although I have already played and finished it.

If you like achievements, you'll like Pneuma.

Official announcement will probably be wed-fri
I'd be down with that, be the first time in a while I've not got either of the GwG offerings.

That's a bit of an oversimplification. I thought the environments were gorgeous (dat UE4!). The puzzles were also pretty fun for the most part.

Oh, I liked the game somewhat too. I was just pointing out that it's a good game for padding the gamerscore.

I've been curious about Pneuma, but not curious enough to drop the cash. I'm ok with this. What is Knight Squad?
I have no idea how legitimate this pic is I found it a few days ago, but from what I can see MS has been testing Dirt 3 a lot lately for BC, so the 360 at least seems a bit believable.

This is the same guy I posted back in September and he was spot on, so yeah I'm believing this.

That wouldn't be a good month IMO despite liking pneuma

That would be terrible but I don't really care since in November I'll be playing RotTR and Battlefront so I've got enough to play.
Yea that's a pretty bad month and it's seeming likely since the source is the same HUKD person that leaked September.
I haven't played pnuema so I'm ok with that but the 360 selection is poor, both of them are 4.5 year old games. They could have done better.

What? Dirt 3 is still pretty expensive just about anywhere you go (for a racing game that's like 4 years old). That series holds its value better than any other non MK racing game. They just didn't produce that many of them and it's a niche genre. I'm excited since I have Dirt 2 from a digital sale way back and sold my physical Dirt 3!

Pneuma is wonderful, great game that was sadly priced too high.
No real opinion on the others, haven't heard/played them so I would check them out.

That seems like a pretty good month to me, especially with BC. Been wanting to play Pneuma.
Would it be Dirt 3 or Dirt 3: Complete Edition? The Complete Edition would be great as that's much harder to find for a decent price.

No harm in playing Pneuma. It's highly unlikely that I would have ever paid for it due to the incredibly mixed reviews and it only takes around 2-3 hours to complete? Meh, it's okay I guess.
I like achievements! So therefore I will like Pneuma!
Plus it looks really cool.
Dirt 3 in November would be BC. MS said when they launched it in November, all future 360 titles would be BC.
I think the idea is that you get a new game every 14 (ok it´s 15) days, which I kind of like.

They will give you the vanilla version in hopes that you'll like it enough to buy the DLC.
Ah. Sneaky.

Both of those Xbox One games look pretty meh.
I enjoyed Dungeon Siege III but its pretty random a game to offer.
Oh well.

So another shitty month for the xbox one?

All Games with Gold titles from now on need to be available as BC also, so the pool of available games is shrinking, and it's relying on publishers playing ball on not just giving their game for free, but also giving permission for it to run on another system. I'm expecting some odd titles here and there
Edit: and damn is that XB1 month shitty, even though I don't own either game...thank god for BC saving it in November.

I thought from November onwards all future GWG 360 games will be backward compatible to XBOX One, no?

Soooooo I just got the PR email that says Knight Squad is releasing November 16th for Xbox One and PC, as well as specifically stating that it is launching as Games with Gold....seems to add up with the XB1 list above...so ya, these are probably the GwG for November

The 2nd game on the One doesn't even release until the 16th...
I can confirm that too.

If? It is.
That post was made before it had been confirmed to be a Game with Gold. The titles were leaked ahead of time but we didn't know if the leak was real until now:

Meh month for me if that list is true. Very meh. PS Plus meh.

Dirt 3 is cool, will try out considering it should be BC.
Couple underwhelming months overall though.
