i dont see the appeal, but my friend loves it. He has it on almost every console it has come out on. Bought it day one ps4, got it on ps3 with +, and now the 360 version. He has actually almost 100% completed all 3 versions too

Good call that is.
Well it's nice to want things ;p
Ryse is awful. Why do people keep asking for it. DR3 is fun though, but I already played it to death so I wouldn't download it again.

Yeah it is
but in all honesty I doubt any of those game will be a part of Games With Gold anytime soon.The same reason why people keep asking for Knack on PS+. They are clearly the best games on their systems which is why they are requested so much.

Because its a launch title and its about time for a Triple A game. I only got an Xbox One when Sunset Overdrive came out so I'd love to play Ryse and or DR3. It's better than Pool Nation FX.
Xbox seriously should've put the Xbox One version of Thief on Games With Gold.

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
Did people learn nothing from past GwG releases? don't keep your hope high people, you gonna be disappointed.
Makes sense.
Makes sense.
Wouldn't that be kinda counter-intuitive to their pre-order offer for 4?

They announced at E3 that the XB1 version of Fallout 4 comes with Fallout 3 so I doubt that
Dead Rising 3 is plausible everything else is just fantasy though

It'd be nice if the 360 offering is playable on Xbox One.

Not going to happen
Actually, I could see, say, the Halo 1 component of it being one. Use that to push the rest of the package.
If Ryse ever gets released as a GWG I hope it opens up a lot of people's eyes regarding that game.
I get that some people do not value cinematic action fests and QTEs. But if you legitimately like QTEs then Ryse is fucking incredible.
It always mystifies me the hate that QTEs get. QTEs are great for two reasons: 1) They let you do impossible things. For example, in God Of War, there is no mechanism that allows you to freely and in real-time perform crazy backflips, ride a monster, and rip its head off. It's a beat-em-up with standard melee attacks. But the developer can leverage a QTE sequence to allow you to perform those fantastical feats, otherwise impossible in normal game play, if you push the right button combination, and 2) They test your hand-eye coordination. It's incredibly fun to quickly react to a button press on-screen and get the right button combination pushed in. That's the whole entire premise of Rock Band - see button, push button, and do that over and over really really fast. It feels GOOD to succeed based on twitch hand-eye coordination alone.
With Ryse the melee combat is centred around that sort of hand-eye coordination. Your first few hits are usually just normal melee sword slashes. But once you get enough hits in you can go into an execution spree, and those execution sprees are where you can chain multiple QTE-executions in a row. Your enemy becomes colour-coded, so if he's yellow you need to hit the yellow Y button, and if he's blue you need to hit the blue X button. Not only that but during those QTE-executions everything is in slow-mo, which adds that extra oopmh to make the executions more satisfying.
I wish Ryse made the QTEs even more varied. It would have been much more satisfying had the colour-coded execution sections included green (for A) and red (for B) as well.

You can't have one part of the game it doesn't work like that.

Massive Chalice will most likely continue (sorry Pool fans) and another indie title will be added... I've also heard that Forza 5 would be added to hype up 6's release but got canned because it was a game that demanded a long engagement and would make people actually not buy 6 since they wouldn't be finished with 5 by the release window.
Just go for broke and hope for MGSV before it even comes out

Just buy them through xbox.com. Works a treat.
I don't see why not. Don't forget that they're the publisher and have every ability to ask for a bespoke version for GWG purposes. It ought not to be too hard to implement; particularly given how the game installs.
Consider it the GWG equivalent of the Driveclub PS+ edition.
It's just like playing a cartoon!

I'm mad at myself for not doing this for all the past 360 titles.
I don't have a 360, and never thought we see BC on the XB1.
