D4 and The Witcher 2? That's awesome. So glad that more people will enjoy D4 now!

 

[SkinnerSw33t]

D4 is a nice title for GwG. I own it but definitely don't regret supporting it. Plus all the extra exposure might help us get additional episodes.

 

[backflip10019]

Pumped for The Witcher 2. Never had the chance to play it so this is fantastic.

Also really pumped for more people to play D4. Such a great game, and this increases the chances of us getting another installment.

 

[Jarlaxle]

D4 is one of the games I've been really hoping for with this program. Very excited to try it in January.

 

[Aeqvitas]

D4 is bullshit. 2nd month now I get nothing because of wanting to support a dev. Thanks, I guess.

They should never have any games that anyone has bought, or will buy, that way no one will be upset.

It's okay good for d4 because if like to see it continue but they can easily avoid this by only picking new games.

 

[sam777]

Yes buzzing D4 is free was thinking of buying it. Just as well I waited.

 

[Doffen]

They should have kicked of the new year with two Xbox One titles...

 

[Cool Tools]

I'm glad they put D4 up for the month. Its a game that seems interesting, but I wasn't sure if I wanted to take the plunge.

 

[Montresor]

BASED MS. Please, everyone download D4!!! Let's guarantee a sequel!!!

 

[Roddslayer]

Great line up on both consoles.

 

[NYCmetsfan]

So pumped for d4. Just found out you can get the 360 games on the online store so I'm excited to play the witches when I get a 360 again

 

[01DragonFly]

*.* cant wait to play D4

 

[Welfare]

Witcher 2 and D4? Sweet start to the new year.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Nice! I can finally see what the fuss is with D4 (a Kinect game!), and get Witcher 2 back in my collection.

 

[speedomodel]

Nice! Looks to be a great month. Great way to start the new year.

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

The Witcher? I hear good things but I doubt I can commit to such a lengthy game. More on the backlog pile I guess.

 

[xxracerxx]

Good month for MS!

 

[Montresor]

Nice! I can finally see what the fuss is with D4 (a Kinect game!), and get Witcher 2 back in my collection.

It's #2 in my GOTY list, I got 100% completion, and I still don't know how it plays with Kinect - you don't need to play Kinect with the game.

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

D4 man that is so cool awesome can't wait for that

 

[metsallica]

D4 WIN, though if it's discounted as part of this current sale I'll probably pick it up so I don't lose it if my Gold lapses. That's still an issue, right?

 

[GVA1987]

Nice month. Keen for both Witcher and D4.

 

[Izuna]

Already bought D4 due to the thread, never really played it, but happy now I can do so offline.

 

[Forsythia]

Really good games this time! Already have 'em, but have fun everyone who hasn't played these yet!

 

[BlindRage]

Well we know #IDARB is feb for x1

So what's march gonna be? Lococycle finally?

But good month in January, very glad to be getting witcher & d4.

 

[Juke Joint Jezebel]

Isn't D4 episodic? I wonder if the free download is the first part, or the full thing?

 

[matrixman92]

got all the achievements in witcher 2 and D4...both fantastic games

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Isn't D4 episodic? I wonder if the free download is the first part, or the full thing?

The first season, which is the only version of the game, contains a prologue and two episodes.

You don't have to pay for any more episodes...at least not yet.

 

[malfcn]

Whoa. Sweet!

 

[Timu]

Nothing for me in January and I already owned Witcher 2 on PC. Guess I'll wait for February's offerings.

 

[Certinty]

I will finally download a GwG game for the first time now!

 

[Gestault]

D4 and Witcher 2 is pretty darned compelling.

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

I will finally download a GwG game for the first time now!

Why wouldn't you at least initiate the download anyway? So they're at least attached to your account?

 

[Beer Monkey]

I will finally download a GwG game for the first time now!

Um, get Worms this month, it's great.

 

[Stanng243]

whats the minimum length of time i need with gold to get the games? Can I get a 14 day trial, or do i need something more substantial? Thank you.

 

[Hero of Legend]

After the first week so you can use 14 days.

So you have one week to get the 1st 360 game, then in the 2nd week you can get the 2nd 360 game, and the XO game(s) is available all month.

From what I've seen it as.

Actually two days even can work as long as you do it right before the 1st 360 game disappears.

 

[Footos22]

No point me supporting devs on xbox one I suppose. 3 digital titles I bought and all 3 are now games with gold. Lesson learnt I suppose. If it exclusive and download only. Don't buy it.

Kinda feeling the same way right now.

 

[Rosur]

Cool D4 Glad I held of buying now.

Eh, it's the same on PSN really. Just more games over there.

They're still being compensated by Microsoft. And this is good word of mouth promotion.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

This has been happening for years on PS3. If it's a game you really want, it shouldn't matter if it's free at some point down the line.

You bought it because you were really looking forward to it. If it's a game you're on the fence about, by all means wait it out, but it's a little self defeating to stop buying games completely on the off chance the game comes to GwG/Plus a couple of months down the line.

 

[HIGH DEF JEFF]

Im glad the january games list came out this soon..tomorrow my gold expires. Been a member for like 10 years via two accounts, after the broken mcc and stupid limited edition poster gift i said i wouldnt renew. This list is the nail in the coffin.

 

[keit4]

The best GwG month since June.

Thoughts on these new freebies?

 

[Woffls]

D4 and Witcher 2.... two games I already bought and have not even started playing Oh well, don't mind giving money to swery.

 

[WaffleTaco]

Have been wanting to try D4 for a while now, and was going to wait for a sale, but am glad the game is free. Will be the first one I have downloaded that I will want to play. Witcher 2 is a fun game, but go in with an open-mind, as it is slightly confusing if you have not played the first, and the combat is not the best.

 

[Jrs3000]

I'm hoping this move means more episodes are around the corner to take advantage of people playing this.

D4 is meant to be a very good game.

I have it and i dont like it.
I also have the witcher...havent played it yet.

Fair enough but it is down to chance really whether you have the games or not.
