The Zoo Tycoon link seems to be down.

And when I search for it in the store and click the link it disconnects too.

Odd. Usually Microsoft doesn't seem to care if people change their region to get other games, maybe now they do?

Edit: It works on my laptop.

 

[Conrad Link]

To be honest I'm way more interested in Zoo Tycoon than any of the other GwG games this month lol.

So thank you Japan!

 

[Hatefilled Vengeance]

I got Kalimba for free once by changing region and didn't get banned, so hopefully this works out.

You are allowed to do it. You won't get banned

Haha same here.

This was initially a terrible month for me. Already played Watch Dogs when it came out and hated it. Already had Dragon Age from EA Access. Don't care for Assassins Creed.

Zoo Tycoon, however, I had considered buying when I got my Xbox One, but forgot all about it. Started it last night and it seems pretty good. Way higher quality than you would probably expect.

It's worth getting DA:O even with EA Access because you keep the game forever on GWG as it's a 360 game

[Empyrean Heaven]

Yup i've had the "Don't buy Ubisoft games new" rule for a while and I almost own all of em either free or from ridiculously cheap clearance sales

I'm always tempted but haven't succumbed yet.

The only one I will do is Mario + Rabbids, I have the sneaking suspicion that won't be going free in a long, long time.

 

[H3xum]

DA:O was my Game of the Generation.

I wonder if I will still like it

When a game goes BC, does all of its DLC/expansions?

Yeah if you own them.
Go to 'manage game' to install them.

 

[munroe]

I dont think that's what they're asking

In my experience yes, whenever I've purchased a BC game all of the DLC has been made available to purchase also, but it's my experience not necessarily the rule unless someone says otherwise

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Grabbed Zoo Tycoon digital. I own it physical so this is nice

Is Da:O better than Inquisition? Because I didn't like that game at all.

Miles better

 

[Kill3r7]

Ditto but to be fair Inquisition suffers from some terrible early game design, hinterlands is an abomination.

 

[PhantomThief]

Thanks guys, I'll have to put some time into it then .

I fought my way through the hinterlands and ultimately I night have been close to the end of Inquisition ( maybe ) but I just didn't enjoy my time with it.

 

[GlitchyDegree]

YES

 

[Flux]

Yup Origins is the peak Bioware formula. Each race and class origin story adds a nice sense of flavour for lore. You can pursue any questline and area at will, whereas Inquisition locks you with the Power grind.

Best party and writing in the series too. Although Varric is the best individual across the series in my opinion.

 

[Gestault]

BEEP BEEP.

Runbow is an excellent game, but it would be a bit weird to get it just a month after SpeedRunners.

Image floating around on twitter that is is:

Kane and Lynch 2 - July 1-15

[bigDave]

runbow? lul

 

[peppermints]

That'd be a rough month except for Grow Home.

 

[Alx]

It would be fine for me, I don't own any of those, am always in for more Lego games, and grow up seems interesting.

 

[Skiptastic]

I'm going to be slightly pissed at myself for buying LEGO PotC if that is true...

 

[woodsey1982]

Runbow would make sense as it has a weird release date if it wasn't gwg.

Will be the first time in awhile that I am annoyed at GWG if that list is true.

 

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

Grow Up is really fun. If you're remotely into 3D platformers, I think you might enjoy it.

 

[EmiPrime]

Not a good month for me on Xbox One: I got Runbow in the Wii U Humble Bundle and Grow Home was on PS+ 2 years ago.

Grow Up is the sequel, Grow Home was never released on XB1 for some reason

That list makes sense. Whenever they announce games late it's always a pretty bad month

Should hopefully find out tomorrow the new additions to the game pass aswell

 

[EmiPrime]

Oh my mistake! Not too shabby a month after all then.

Will be interesting to try Kane and Lynch, wonder if it's at all self-aware or it's as ridiculous as it seems on the surface.

 

[Baron_Calamity]

nice! LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean is that one weird hole in my collection.

Runbow is cool. Though I don't have that many controllers to get a use out of it.

Yikes. I know the quality of GWG is often totally subjective, but this seems like a really weak month. I wonder if the existence of Game Pass is going to have an impact on the quality of GWG going forward.

Do not own one game of it. Always wanted to try Grow Up. And my gf just started enjoying LEGO Star Wars, maybe we'll enjoy Pirates of the Caribbean as well.

if this is all true im in for a good month.
Everything worth it.

Never got through kane an lynch 2......all 360 GWG have been under 9GB yeah?

Grow up is the sequel

Edit:

 

[Novocaine]

Not interested in anything next month I guess. Unless Grow Up changes stuff around, I liked the idea of Grow Home but I got bored of playing it rather quickly.

As expected, the later they announce, the more meh the month.

 

[PanicFreak]

I'll probably pick both of the 360 games and Grow Up.

 

[peppers]

Jesus, I literally almost picked up Kane and Lynch 2 today for 2 euros. I beat it on PS3 but I wanted the conveniece of the XOne since I love it so much.
Spent the money instead on Stranglehold, any chance of that one becoming BC anytime soon?

This would be the worst month they've had in a while.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

This is the best month ever!

said no one ever

I loved Grow Home. Grow Up would be a great free game!
