Xbox knocking this gen out the park. Awesome month

Time for a tv upgrade :man:

At least it'll save me having to put the disc in the drive I suppose :disappointed:

Microsoft have done well with GWG the last couple of months. Keep it up!

The Crew (XB1) and Xcom (X360) are showing free now.

"Enemy within" is now backward compatible.

All countries are gradually being brought in line with US pricing, making it harder to find a cheap deal.
CD Keys is probably cheapest at £31.90 unless you want to buy from some dodgy Latvian on ebay.

What's the current cheapest way to get a new gold subscription ? thx

Just finished Sunset Overdrive, I spent 2-3 days pretty much solid on it!

One of the most fun games I've played!

The cheap gold deals seemed to end around Christmas last year, before Christmas you could get 12m (sometimes more) for £20!! Since then the prices have rocketed, I got mine from CDKeys for about £29ish, I think its still about that price?!? Just DONT get it from Microsoft as theirs is a rip off! :smiley:

My gold just ran out. Can anyone tell me best place to get it at the moment. Cheers

​Nah mate got an xbox one as well

Super Hot :smiley:

Such a ****

Do you really believe what you are saying???

If you own both XB1 and PS4 you'll realise both are good in different ways
I like fighting games and racing games and other stuff
XB is way ahead with Forza but if PS had a fantastic racing series of their own and had realised 3-4 games already then i'd stand up for them

I thought Ryse was an awful game. I bought it for £38, realised my mistake and sold it for the same. Having bought a day one Xbox One with Forza 5 download included, I'd say that as good as Forza 5 was, there were far too few tracks and you just ended up driving the same tracks backwards and shorter versions etc.
Forza 6 is a great driving game. I don't honestly see the desperate need for Ryse or Forza 5 to be on Games With Gold, especially how cheap they are if people really are that keen to play them. I'd rather play Condemned that I bought for £1.95 on Ebay for Backwards Compatibility. Haven't played it since 2006 and really enjoy it.

Nice. Sony need to pick the ball up this gen. PS4 games have been lacking somewhat. The only real Plus game of worth was RL imo.

That's how all the Uncharted games are. They're good, to the point where I would say they are the best games on the PS, but are they the best games ever?! Not so sure.
The newest one is the only reason that I would consider buying a PS4, but at £250+ for a console, just to play one game - think I'll stick with my XBOne.

Play on Crushing and turn the hints off.
It only holds your hand if you let it.

Yes. For the Xbox 360 titles, you don't even need to maintain your subscription for ongoing access.

Once downloaded, can I play full version unless I get rid of XBL

O.M.G.
I'm suber excited about the XCom. I just wished it was the Enemy Within version too, so that I could play mine. It's such an awesome game!

It's not exactly spectacular. I've been playing it on and off over the last 24 hours and it's OK. Feels like an interactive movie to me.
They feel the need to have to highlight everything with which button you need to press. Holds your hands through the entire game.
You can't even get stuck on it as it throws hints at you if you take too long.
If Fisher Price made games.....

And then just to prove my point, you come back for more.... PS4 fanboy much!! :smiley:

A game you wish you had on the Xbox. It is THAT good. PS4 will get better games whilst Xbox users will get overjoyed at game that was on the 360 and PS+. Shows the mentality of Xbox users, when some of the first comments on these kind of threads are in reference to PS+. It's understandable as you must have been frustrated paying for xbl when PS+ was getting all these games and now you're getting garbage games.

Uncharted4 is THAT good that you find it more interesting to troll threads for a console you hate?!?! Yep, must be one hell of a game!! :smiley:

I can taste the saltiness from here

O Jesus. Xbox one fan boys vs ps4 fanboys.
This brain dead chat has no place here. Nobody cares

So..... That's a no then.

PS4 actually has decent games now, don't need to play last gen games to have fun. Whilst all you Xbox owners were paying for online, PS+ users were playing all these games which your only getting now.

Can't wait to see what last gen game you get next so you lose your heads over it and then I can post PS3 got it years ago. You play last gen games whilst I play Uncharted 4.

And they're playable on the PS4 I presume?

The only people losing their "****" over it are the PS4 fanboys logging onto an Xbox thread to troll..... as usual!! :smiley:

Redemption and Undead, the two games, never played them but I have them downloaded on my PS3 as PS+ gave all the quality games years ago, not several years later after release.

Some good games!


I wouldn't hold your breath on that one mate :wink:

Bit of a meh month for me as the ones I would be interested in were already given on +, I'm not on board with the whole lol so random Goat Simulator and Generic Racer 73 but you can't please all of the people all of the time as they say. For the cost of live I'm not going to complain.

Also am I the only person the finds it really annoying that they split them over the month? I have forgot to download a couple because I forgot to go back and check in the second part of the month, they were ones I wasn't really interested in but still.

Yes, all games released with the games with gold programme are backwards compatible.

You will be able to download them via your One when released

I don't have a 360 any more, can I still download Super Meat Boy?

Cheers.

A bit disappointing. Stupid Goat game, just no. The Crew, yes because I have never played it. Super Meat Boy, I have it on my PC but it's worth a download. XCOM is a great game but as somebody pointed out why is it not the Commander Edition. I also already have it on 360 and PC.

it's a USB 3.0 External hard drive you turnip it'll work on everything with a USB 3.0 port , TV's , consoles , pc , laptop.

This is a money saving website where the idea is you spend the least amount possible, paying more for the same product is uneccesary. I bet because it was on sale you still think you got a good deal :smile:

You've paid a premium for the endorsement of another company logo on it.

Gotta love the PS fan boys.

What great games are coming to PS+ ftw????

what great games are Sony giving now on ps4?

halo 5 a blurry mess?!! no way I'm playing on a 60 inch tv and it's rock solid. your TV must need adjusting, quantum break is a different story and like alan wake there is some blur but not all the time.

An ipad game, an average racer that's a couple of years old and two games that have already been on PS Plus and everyone is losing their **** over it

ah just been introduced to ps4 remote play that passed me by.
lets not forget about cinavia.
yeah 6 years 8 years the same thing applies, future consoles will be upgradable like a pc, this gen is old already ps4/xbo. just hope sony open up ext hdd drive support probably have too in the future when peoole fill up the 2tb and update there fat32 to ntfs.

What games did Read Dead publish?? I've never heard of them :smiley:

Had GWG since Aug 2015 only really got into MGS Ground Zeroes and The Walking Dead...but then I am very fussy I don't enjoy most games. Not a great month but may try The Crew.

Now that you mention it, I remember that now.

Pinball FX also free this month

:stuck_out_tongue:

Garbage Xbone games means MS have to give 360 games to keep Xbone relevant.
Next month they'll be overjoyed at Read Dead games, even though PS+ gave them years ago.

My 360 and 50+ games would suggest otherwise.

we get it, you don't like Xbox

My 'hottest' deal yet :wink:

Steady on mate. Not every month ;-)
http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/s-games-with-gold-defense-grid-2-costume-quest-2-grid-2-peggle-2437606

The Crew

I'll be firing this back up without needing the disc now :sunglasses:

For those with memories of Test Drive Unlimited 1/2 this is the closest thing seen since, loads of races to do, loads of challenges to do and the MP is excellent also. A good solid arcade racer.

Plus for those us wondering where Gordan Freeman is, he's right here in The Crew :wink:

****

The creeeeeeew! Yessss

This is why I sold my PS4 and bought an Xbox One!!

Bioshock Infinite was on GWG last year

Never did Tony Blair any harm.

Can stream ps4 to vita, Sony phones, windows and macs over the Internet (not just on the local network)

Also, the '8 year model' isn't that just 360-one and PS3-4? It's not really a model if it's only happened once

For example ps1 1994 - ps2 2000 - PS3 2006 - ps4 2013. So more like 6 years

It's been said but I'll say it again.... gutted that Read Dead isn't on this list. Why do people post fake pictures and start rumours? What do they gain! At least I can pretend to be a goat :laughing:

Already got The Crew but a very good game! Especially for free!

Damn, I have Xbox 360 and I want goat simulator :disappointed:

I nearly bought The Crew last week, glad I decided to wait now.

This isn't especially unusual.

http://www.hotukdeals.com/search?action=search&keywords=%22games+with+gold%22&category=19&sort_type=submitted

Not that excited.
Xcom, that's probably my pick out of the 4.

Can someone tell me why this has gotn1000+ heat compared to every other montj

XCOM! finally - it's the only reason I miss my 360 - not sure why they didn't go straight for EW though - it ironed out a lot of the bugs from EU

They have been, consistently. It's not a requirement for a game to be big-budget to be good. :wink:

It would be incredibly easy to rebut pretty much all of these :stuck_out_tongue: I won't, though, as this doesn't need to become yet another 'console war' thread (personally, I own and enjoy both platforms)

As ever not got any of these games.
Might DL some and then won't bother playing them.
:man:

where have all the good deals gone for gold @ about £20.00 ??
mine ended a month or 2 ago & i decided not to renew but i fancy the look of the crew.

Me telling Microsoft I don't want the game for gold!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBGyPZkpWz8

in reality ps4 and xbo are both crap hence why they will both release upgradable machines earlier in the life cycle.

Playing Tropico atm, quite enjoy it, mainly just play it over remote play though, but the last few months, they still feel a bit underwhelming, I thought Sony would be releasing decent games now that the PS4 is over 2 years old..

lots of reasons to like xbo.
1.NTFS flash drive support (MKV's 4GB+) which beats FAT32 (I used this recently to play The Big short MKV which was 5.46 GB in size
2.TV DVR will land soon.
3.NTFS EXT HDD support (other consoles only have support for up to 2TB INT HDD then what do they do?)
4.DirectX which once fully implemented would unlock 1080p gaming
5.Batteryless controllers when using micro usb cable also ease of replacment battery when battery loose capacity later in life cycle.
6.Play xbo games on windows 10 pc via streaming

In reality though both PS4 and XBO are already old machines hence why both will launch newer upgradable machines earlier in there life cycle as the old 8 year life span model is now old and stagnant.

May's Instant Game Collection titles were excellent - Tropico 5 and Table Top Racing especially. Give them a go if you've not yet done so!

Never played any of these! Another good month.

Die hard Playstation fan but this is making me want to get GWG, just buy an XB1 and let GWG do the work. Glad you XBOXers are getting something decent though, competition is healthy :smile:

Don't know what the hell is going on at the PS Plus HQ :/

Thank the Lord ! Goat simulator for the XBox1 for free My eldest (9) will think I am a God

mostly all popular games but none of which I ever got round to purchasing. hot

Between the XB1 and PS4 I can't keep up with all of the free games! Nevermind the XBOX 360 and PS3 games you also get free!! On top of that I have a massive pile of games for both the XB1 and PS4 still not opened or barely played. I think I need to stop buying games for a while, or be more selective of the games I do buy, and just start playing the free games!

I really enjoyed Xcom when I played it via PS+ in June 2013.



50% of this months Gold games are indie FYI.

You forget that most of the games Microsoft offered last year, Sony had already offered the year before (such as with Tomb Raider).

Oh come on! As classic as the game is its been out for ages, you can probably get it for about a pound anyway. You weren't seriously waiting all this time for a GWG release were you!?

Nice, i do not have The Crew or Goat sim on the XB1, or Xcom on the 360, so this month looks very nice indeed.

And why do we need this constant "my plastic box is better than your plastic box" in every thread like this, this is a deals site, not the YT comments sections.:disappointed:

Upscaled 900p is not native 1080p and there is a notable difference. Is it a huge deal? No but it's a grievance with anyone who has a good television and good eyesight.

The Xbox one is a disappointment to me and apparently many other former 360 owners who appear to have jumped to playstation, given the disparity in sales. I understand people who can only afford one system get hyper defensive about it, sad as that is.

Regarding PC. If I'm honest, I don't play call of duties and fifas... It happens to be that the vast majority of games I play are largely not available on PC (like Halo, Uncharted, Bloodborne, Gears, Zelda etc (although it seems Microsoft could be winding down the xbox brand and transitioning to PC in the future))

Anyway.. X-Com is a great game so this month is good for those that don't have it

Sony has the better hardware, better exclusives and better versions of multiplats... but if they stiff us again this month I'm selling up and getting an Xbone. The games with gold and the backwards compatibility is starting to swing it for me.

You can use it for whatever you want,depends which mode you format it to use

Goat Simulator is the only thing I don't have.

You do realise that the vast majority of Mplat games are only one 'step' apart on resolution, right? ie, 900p to 1080p, and that's on the internal frame buffer... the output on both will be 1080p... so your tv will see 1080p pictures regardless of which console on the vast majority of titles.
You do also realise that not every game renders at 1080p on the ps4 either?

Really, if you want to be so superior, I suggest you go to PC gaming.

Really? I have both but PS4 users were getting nonsense indie titles last year while xbox one owners were getting Tomb Raider etc.I think GWG not only has upped it's game this year but was also a better choice of free games last year.

Quantum break looks like ass on the 40" Panasonic plasma in my living room and the 55" bravia in our game room. You xbox fanboys need to accept that sub 1080p games were okay 5 years ago not so much anymore.

I'm not a pc gamer but many people who play games on a pc do so for the high resolutions and framerate but whatever fits your agenda

Excellent month, looking forward to playing The Crew again. :smiley:

This help?
http://support.xbox.com/en-GB/xbox-one/games/play-xbox-360-games-on-xbox-one

Some more great games. I still can't work out how to get the 360 games onto my xb1 though.

Why thank you. :sunglasses:

You must be so popular with the ladies...

Nice! The Crew looks like the kind of racer I can cope with and been wanting to play XCom for ages.
Good month.

Xbox may not be as good as playstation but I'm sure they will catch up soon. :confused:

I can't wait to be a goat- HOT!!!

The problem is when fanboys listen to the playground hype with little knowledge of what they are actually saying. Lets face it, the first batch of games suffered on both systems, the Xbox couldn't make 1080p and the PS4 stuttered because it did (I know which issue I would find it easier to live with!), now they are both pretty much sorted, anyone worrying over 900p, 1080p, 4k or 500000000k needs to examine why they are playing games :smiley:

As someone who has grown up with the Spectrum and loved games like JetPac and Manic Miner, I can appreciate that a good game is not defined by the graphics :smiley:

Xbox resolution is fine, you just have a crappy cheap ass TV..... or you're sat too close to your chavy 90" screen :smiley:

Yes Uncharted 4 looks great on my 4k TV but so do my xbox one and wii u games. Playstation fan boys are the worst imo closely followed by pc, wii and then xbox.

There's some good Amazon warehouse deals going around at the minute, have a look for a new tv :laughing:

Great month. GWG has been turning it on while my ps4 1tb hard drive has been taking it easy with no downloads for several months now.

Na, Uncharted 4 looks incredible on my TV. It's those cruddy sub HD Xbox games that look bad and nothing can fix that :disappointed:

Woah nice!! Brilliant month for GWG! Need all the games and Xcom is amazing fun!

Thanks for the info

Darn it, I already bought The Crew a couple of months ago.

Rockstar are making Red Dead Redemption 2 so it depends on if Microsoft want to release the first one as a free code with the game or release it as a backwards compatible game after the RDR 2 announcement

Super meat boy is awesome

Fantastic month!

Thanks. It really does look quite nice next tot the X1 and gives it a bit of colour and not all black.

Super meat boy??? Yes! That game drove me near insane. Bring on the medication again!
Enjoyed The Crew apart from the dimwits who try to try and spoil your game, Goat Sim is one of the worst/best games to while away an hour or two and Xcom is one I know nothing about.
Heat!!!!!! :smile:

​tbf for another fiver I would have bought the same one as you. I think they look pretty smart!

Yeah I love FH2 too, it is definitely the most complete open world game I've played, in the way it gets everything just right.

The Crew does have a lot of flaws in comparison, but if you can look past them it is as impressive but in a different way, in my opinion. The game seems to be like marmite though, I'm sure a lot of people are wondering what the heck I'm on about!

so red dead redemption rumors was rubbish

^
Well apparently I did to that Zombrex plum, but cheers for the info.

It's cool brah, you don't have to justify your purchases to anyone else

Forza Horizon 2 is brilliant. Done 500 online races to just get the MP acheivements and barely touched SP but now going back to it before FH3 comes out.

Ok fair enough the drive works on PC, thanks for clearing that up as I didn't know and you weren't a sarcastic moron like that Zombrex guy.

All I was saying to that other guy was that I wanted the official drive as the other two non-official one's both stopped working, so just wanted to the official drive. It may have been bad luck but I wasn't wasting anymore money on external drives.

Never played the crew, Forza Horizon 2 has been my go to game for open world racing

People who haven't got The Crew are in for a treat, probably the most ambitious open world racing game I've ever played and incredibly impressive how it pushes the boundaries in terms of map size whilst not making it feel barren at all.

Goat simulator is a good laugh too!

Just the 360 games for me so will be excited to try them! Love GwG!

Xbox knocking this gen out the park. Awesome month

​I looked at these green drives last month when buying an external drive for my xb1. I remember reading in the answered questions on Amazon that these will work on PC because , as mentioned , they are just branded portable hard drives.

^

Actually I got it in a sale and was only £5 more than the black version. And I am not going to plug it into my PC to see if it works. If someone shows me that it works with a PC then I will admit I got duped for £5. However, until some proves it, then there is no more to say.

Plug it into your Pc I guarantee you can use it, face it you fell for marketing blurb and paid a premium for the privelege.

You'll be trying to sell us Avon next ...

Excellent games have ps4 & xbox one so not a fanboy but GWG currently is the pound for found champion for me. Last year was PS Plus

not a bad month, not gonna say amazing but I'm happy with the selection, can hardly moan at the games they give away these days, I'm sure for a lot of people who believed the rumours of Forza, Ryse, Bioshock and RDR they will be the complainers!

gears of war rehash and rare replays ancient games? you think that is the best thing on xb1, really? and a blurry mess for new games on 1080p, what u think it needs 4k or something? It cant even manage 1080 lol. you deffo need to go to specsavers. Just another bloody moan with nothin positive (or even realistic) to say, this place is riddled with them.

very disappointing this month

Great games, but as is usually the way with GWG - if it's good I have it, if it's not good or not my cup of tea I don't.
That's not a complaint - it's just the way it naturally pans out.

I'm not sure if I have The Crew, but I'm pretty sure I have Goat Sim on Steam and on one of the xbox consoles, I have X-Com on both steam and 360, and I have SMB on both steam and 360.

Heat added, natch.

The Crew is a very good game, since its overhaul.
Don't believe the reviews on this one.

Very good month for xboxers.

They are not the green one is for Xbox only as per the description on Amazon when I bought it. I ain't arguing with you, I have what I want and you have what you want, but you cannot use this one on PC.

They are exactly the same drives, only difference is the case and the xbox branding lol

Been using a 4TB Seagate since the external drives have been supported no issues.

am I alone in being slightly underwhelmed by these titles? we had a cracking April ( sunset overdrive, wolf among us , saints row 4 and dead space) but may and now June both average at best...

No, didnt want to do that. I wanted the Official one that was specifically designed for Xbox only and not for use with PC as well. It sounds silly, but the other two that went kaput were both Xbox and Pc compat. So far I have been justified in my purchase.

And the green looks very nice as well. ; )

I am having doubts about Red Dead being BC.

I reckon a remastered/defintive version is incoming, just being kept under wraps right now.

Or just buy a normal Seagate one instead of paying £20-30 more for a green case pmsl

The only Xbox exclusive games I care about this year are Forza Horizon 3(Ultimate Edition) and Gears of War 4.

Spec savers springs to mind.

​get over it

^ Agent 47

Don't knock it until you try it. Funny game and lots to do.

Sometimes when my brain feels like mush this is the game I play.

Goat Simulator seriously!

^
I highly recommend the official Seagate External Hard Drive for the X1. Had it 6 months and been great.

The reason I say this as I had WD and Toshiba external hard drives both of which went kaput after 2/3 months, so I went for the Official One which was a little more money but totally worth it.

Plan on getting on myself, you going for the official xbox version or just any?

I haven't got The Crew or Super Meat Boy so glad to have them.

However, it is annoying the X-Com Enemy Within isn't there which is has much more content than Enemy Unknown, but I will have to wait for that to become BC.

Goat Simulator is absolutely brilliant and hilarious if you just want half an hour of brainless stupid fun.

Heat added.

Heat good for me. Very nearly bought goat simulator a few times and only played the beta of the crew (wasn't too fussed). Happily have a go for "free" :smiley:

Great line up

Dammit sods law i only got the crew a month back.

This a good month. Goat game, no idea but just the name sounds fun. The Crew i saw had bad reviews but i liked the idea of driving across the States esp since i spent 80days going across America last Summer.
Super meat boy, i have, X-com, im up for.
As for Red dead, i think whats happening is when they announce the new Red dead game which at the earliest will be April/May next year, they will make Red dead backwards comp and say play that til then. Rockstar have said several times they dont see the point in remasters unless your making a big difference.

Sorry but there something wrong with your TV if that's the case. better looking games out there but far from blurry looking mess

Time for a tv upgrade :man:

Been wanting Super Meat Boy for ages. Really happy with that one.

Hardly. Halo 5 and Quantum Break look like blurry dogmess on my 1080p Television. The best games on the system are Rare Replay and Gears of War remastered :disappointed:

X-Com is fantastic game I hope everyone plays it.


Now if only Microsoft can announce some games of the quality of Uncharted 4 or Bloodborne at E3 this year to validate my purchase. If not I'll be selling up after Gears 4

It's not very good.

Well, I'm getting Goat Simulator to stack with the 360 version I guess. Other than that, not a great month for me, but with my backlog, that's no big deal really.

:man:

Hasn't Bioshock: The Collection been rated for PC, PS4 & Xbox One? I'd be highly surprised if that has even been mentioned as a potential for GwG.

Thanks for the heads up, FD. I was holding out for the list before I purchased Pool Nation FX from the Spotlight Sale, had a hunch it was going to be in this month's offerings. :smirk:

What? No Knack?!?!?!?!?!

Oh, hang on... :stuck_out_tongue:

Heat added .... as usual the rumours all wrong!!!

No Ryse or Forza 5 - hahaha

Glad I didn't buy it and this way if it turns out not be anygood , it's no big loss

XCOM is a great game, but why not the Enemy Within version?

Yeah, there were rumours that it would be coming on the Japanese (I think) GWG. It was rumoured with pics a few days ago. Looks like it could've been a hoax. I guess we'll know around E3.

I have the wild run add on but lost the disc for it! Ace, can play The Crew again!

Nice! I don't have any of them.

have goat already but the others are good:p

Looks like I'm finally going to have to buy that extra hard drive.

Good month for me enough 4 games to add to the collection

Think I got my hopes up with a few sites posting their rumours that it would be Red Dead and Bioshock Infinite.. So called gaming news sites need to put a stop to that.

As for me, nothing really of interest this month at all. Not as bad as last month though.

Microsoft have done well with GWG the last couple of months. Keep it up!

This will explain why the crew was so cheap recently!

I am still waiting for Skate 3 to go BC, they have had the blooming box art up for months on the coming soon section..

For now, I'd wait until e3 to write it off completely. We know it is on the way to backwards compatibility however.

fantastic deals, the original poster of these on reddit got ridiculed earlier :laughing:

Not bad I guess?

Was expecting more, considering its E3 month. Hopefully some announcements are being saved for then :neutral_face:

At least it'll save me having to put the disc in the drive I suppose :disappointed:
