What about if you don't subscribe currently but see games coming that you like so decide to subscribe? This comes up every time but it two treads a month really that much of a problem?

At least people can stop saying "It'll be GWG next month!" every time there's a Ryse deal now! :laughing:

Now, all that we need is Knack on PS+ :smile:

God, I bet you're a hoot at parties.

Grabbing walking dead season 2 and assassins creed :sunglasses:

Assassin's Creed: Revelations available now.
Started it yesterday and enjoying those zip wires between the buildings. Air assassination time !

Have £1 for 1 month of gold just appear on my dash, after it ran out a month ago. Never really bothered about most of the free games but would like Walking Dead S2...not sure I can complete it so quickly but tempted to return to gold anyway simply for Gears 4 multiplayer.

Perfect month, especially when my game-buying is limited to FIFA series, Witcher 3 and PS4 exclusives :smile:

But at least you've got a PS4 at the end of it.

Good month, really enjoyed Ryse

Great month for those who don't own the games. Unfortunately for me I've owned and played all of them years ago.

This, and use the ignore button feature, it is fantastic. :-)

Hehe, of course, my bad :wink:

Please both of you. Being reasonable has NO place in a console thread, now get out and stop being reasonable

Nice try but you still don't sound as arrogant as the "rich" "accountant". :wink:

Ryse is actually decent. Halfway through it now.

**** xbox fan boys were the worst last generation but they have all gone quite now and try to take the moral high ground saying who cares but we all know the truth and I am a bit of a Sony fan boy but I've had Sony consoles from being little and have a lot of fond memories & nostalgia for PlayStation but it's just like supporting a footy team it's just a bit of banter between us its just at the moment PlayStation's top of the premier league and xbox is in a relegation fight with none of there top strikers delivering and for the person who said about video gamers don't get enough sex its a load of **** gone are the days of only nerdywerlds playing games, i'm probablys the 3rd best looking person on the Internet and still do a load of gaming.

Given that video gamers probably get laid much less frequently than other fully-functioning members of the species, I would expect player ratings of games to be much lower than these sites would suggest. Guys, are we being straight with each other?

Sadly, when it comes to consoles, *a lot* of people tend to care that their chosen platform is superior. :disappointed:

Who cares which is better, they both have their strong points. Im xbox and I know the ps4 is superior for hardware etc but I like the xbox exclusives and online play is brilliant. Microsoft shot themselves in the foot with their "vision" of the future which was ridiculous and will never catch up this generation. I was close to switching to PS4 until microsoft backtracked on their stupid plans but I stuck with them and Im glad I did.

I maybes should have proof read what I had typed I know there's quite a few mistakes but just to add I'd take what Sony is offering with some really amazing sales on the store every fortnight to buy games I actually want to play cheap over being giving a couple of free games of their choosing a month not to mention the fact I can also purchase psn credit from eBay a lot cheaper than you can with the xbox which doesn't allow you the option of doing this, I normally watch ebay and get say £35 store for £25 which on top of all the sales they have is a massive saving on digital games.

There is no intellectual discussion to be had, The ps4 currently has the more powerful hardware, A ton of amazing exclusive's and more still to be released and of the option of Vr.
I don't see what Microsoft are offering anyone apart from perhaps slighty better "free" games with games with gold.
The xbox in terms of a video games console is far less superior in almost every sense when used for actually playing games.
I know the Scorpio will be released this later thus year but with the lack of exclusives there would be little reason for anyone who own a PS4 to consider buying one unlike xbox players switching to PlayStation which i know a few.
Also it will be a full year behind the release of the pro so Sony could theoretically release a PS5 at the end of 2019 beginning of 2020 and that wouldn't be a big deal to people who have bought the pro but if you have bought the Scorpio for I'm guessing £400 plus releasing a new system 2 years later is out of the question.

Now they will just say, "Cold, was on GWG" :sunglasses:

Miles better than PS Plus

+1

I have both also, PS4 just gathers dust.

Wow that is a great line up. Only have the walking dead. Brilliant value again for something that only costs £30 a year..

Why reply to him? Do you think he wants a) an intellectual discussion around the benefits of each platform or b) to rile ppl up and generate a negative reaction to garner attention?

Let his comment (and viewpoint) die in a vacuum - that's the (lack of) reaction that's most likely to annoy him.

I have both an xbox one and a ps4, I prefer Xbox myself, just because you prefer PS4 doesn't mean everybody else thinks the same, also why bother looking at an xbox thread if you are not interested other than to troll

do people still play xbox haha jesus get a PS4 already soooo much better

Excellent month and hopefully PS steps up this month.

Holding out for GTA5 in May GWG :stuck_out_tongue:

Been putting off buying Ryse in the hope it would end up on this. Patience rewarded for once

It's going to be on GWG next month. Bet you didn't know that, did you?!?!

​ Yes m8, I tend to let it start then cancel the install after a few mb.

Great month! Only just finished season one of the walking dead so this is perfect timing :sunglasses:

Do you have to download these games and keep them on your xbox or can you press the purchase button, not install them and keep the license if you want to download at a later date?

​AC3 is abysmal. I'll take revelations over that any day.

lol I bought day 1 edition of ryse on day 1 launch if the xbox one. it's still in its wrapper, lol

Same here! Is this the best month of Games with Gold? I can't think of any better

*yawn*

Just buy both you pauper...

I'm very happy with this months selection, don't own any of them and telltale games are good for the all important achievement points :sunglasses:

Thanks OP.

Remember, the reveal of next month's GWG games here was an early leak, coming before it was intended, and over the course of today the announcements have now caught up and we've had the 'official' news that Darksiders and AC: Revelations are now backwards compatible: https://twitter.com/majornelson/status/844941994539528192

Xbox is a shocking console V Xbox at the moment - Nioh, Horizon zero dawn, persona 5....ms need to up their game

incredible month. I've been waiting for Ryse, completed it at launch and then sold it. then regretted it ever since.

I don't think you can have the free games anyway on a trial gold account.

Already have the 2 Xbox One games but strong month anyway :smile: HEAT!

Are u not able to use Xbox Live trials anymore if you've subscribed to Gold before? Have a 14 day code but says I already have Gold when I don't.

That's a cracking month fair play!

Here's a lowdown of the games - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7LZDzrjIUc

Heat added :smile:

YES! Wanted Ryse and just got an offer on the dash for a months subscription for £1 :smile:

Its always been posted in deals, always will be.

You know why?

Because I posted it half an hour before this was posted, in the misc section
http://www.hotukdeals.com/misc/xbox-one-games-with-gold-april-2017-2643576

No one sees it.

Peace fam

Out of courtesy I read your entire comment but think it fair to say I could have stopped after "I've paid for sub since I got my 360" - if you pay for something, it's not free. Whether you keep it or not is irrelevant. Whether you tell yourself they are free is irrelevant. They are part of a service you choose to pay for. Perks which, if you cancel, are automatically removed. Do you subscribe to SKY sports? Are all the other bundled channels free?
Besides, I was not criticising GWG or PS+ (I pay for ps+ year after year just to play online - rarely having any interest in any of the free games) - I was criticising hukd for posting this under deals as it is not a deal, it is simply this months games offered with a paid subscription. When someone posts xbox online or ps+ for a great price - that is a deal. The price is the deal, not the games you get offered with it. Who pays for this on a month by month basis depending on whether they want this months games or not? Anyone? Seeing as you would lose access to any games by cancelling, nobody i think.
I knew this would be a bowl of contention ... :man:

I've paid for sub since i got my 360, there was nothing free apart from some small arcade type game. At no point did Microsoft have to give us anything on top but as competition is best for consumers it drives new ideas and cheaper prices . The price of my sub has never gone up, every game they give to me for free for the 360 is mine to keep forever even if i stop paying for sub. For the xbox one tho, its more a rental as long as i keep paying my sub but had no games been given, id still be paying for a sub anyway so these will always be free as far as im concerned

Great month :smiley:

Yes, and all Xbox 360 backwards compatible titles are free to keep forever, irrespective of whether or not you re-subscribe to Xbox Live.

4 big titles - great month!

Always wanted to play Ryse, cracking month again

This may just be worth renewing my Gold membership for...

I had Darksiders on 360 years ago - is this the same version or has it been remastered/otherwise altered for the Xbox One?

Coincidentally my account has finally been given the 40% off 12 months XBL gold offer. Tempted to take it as I know I'll definitely play Ryse and TWD - whereas in the past when I had gold a lot of the games with gold I never touched after downloading.

Dodged a bullet yesterday, nearly bought ryse from smyths for £2.99.

Cold free is the RRP :smirk:

Yes.

All official now YAY :smiley: - Awesome selection!

Hot ryse was a great game

If you cancel the Gold subscription, then re-subscribe at a later date, will you still own the free games you had previously?

The real deal from Major Nelson himself on Twitter - https://twitter.com/majornelson/status/844926969041039360

Fair enough, I personally don't mind these myself. Far less of an issue than every item in a store getting posted with a discount code.

Ryse took its time <3

Good idea - i am forever refreshing with the Gaming dropdown - a pure Gaming section would be nice :sunglasses:

My tongue was firmly in my cheek so Im glad you took it the way it was intended mate... I do sometimes think a HUKD games and HUKD would sort it all out.. as easily enough content and deals for a proper separate section and looking on the main deal site more game free deals would appear and flourish...

I was suggesting an argument needs more grounding then the hypothetical. To go back to my original comment, I was merely using this deal as a soapbox platform but what I said also applies to the deals you mention - ones that aren't available going hot (Sainsbury's!) and good deals getting ignored. I take hot or cold on the chin but this belongs in an info section.

Not sure that is relevant, you don't have to be in that situation to agree with it, I'm not and I wrote it.

This deal going hot doesn't take heat away from others, people don't have a limited number of votes. Fact is the heat system isn't the best at times, I have seen deals that aren't available go hot and good deals get ignored.

I tip my hat at you :man:

Do you pay for them? Yes, with a sub. Do you keep them if you cancel your sub? No. I guess being 'free' truly is a state of mind. :man:

This site is massively flawed, in fact pretty much every voting system used today is flawed and has issues, the price of democracy is that unfortunately voting systems do not cover all the bases.

From looking at deals when I come on here it would seem that gamers (that evil misunderstood breed that walk among us in plain site... the guy on the bus, the lady in the queue at boots...the bank manger they could all be games and we would never know their evil...) seem to be in the majority here, or at least the voting majority... I know some of the deals I am interested in get zero heat or lost in the mix of the more popular deals voted hot by the majority... *** shakes fist at democracy***

I appreciate your humour, are you able to appreciate my perspective?

BUT and this is a BIG one - some deals that are posted that never get anywhere near 100 degrees and are therefore not seen by many but may as you suggest have benefited one person and are therefore worthwhile. You suggest the degree system is to be taken with a pinch of salt but is not the reality of how this site operates.. :man:

15 likes but I bet there's not 15 people this applies to :smirk: Gamers.. :confused:

Whoa, mega impressed with the line-up for once! Thanks for the info x

Damn this is a good month for Xbox

Can highly recommend Darksiders. Very Zelda-esque in its puzzles. Very happy about getting that and TWD season 2 next month :smile:

Great selection ... really hope its real :smiley:

Finally Ryse, been waiting on that one like many others. Thanks OP heat added.

I added heat purely because of this comment.

This is why I left PS4, the free games they do with PS Plus subscription are terrible compared to Xbox every month without fail.

Could be worse - could own every game like me...

it makes me laugh when people say "but this game isn't backwards compatible though"

it was announced a while ago when BC first started that moving forward ANY game on games with gold for the 360 would be BC once the date hits for that game... regardless of if they are on the list or not!

Personally think its a great month, although I already own Ryse and TWD along with the Warmastered edition of Darksiders, will grab both 360 games anyway just so they are there if they ever take my fancy, although I think I got 1000g on ACR

Fantastic once again, 4 games i do not have, MS constantly making my gold sub worth every penny, i mean since January the six xbox 360 games alone have aready paid for that £25 gold year sub. ha

I was looking at Ryse but it's got an odd summary of reviews on Amazon: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=Ryse&rlz=1C1MSIM_enGB672GB672&oq=Ryse&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i60l2j69i61&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

From 9/10 on one to 4/10 on another, I thought usually they were much of a muchness.

Are you sure this is legit?

The main banner on the facebook site lists a European sale, but the 'Shop Now' button below links to a website called bootshah.com that has been shutdown.

Also the http://www.xbox.com/at link on the 'About' page is invalid?

What about Dead Rising 3? :wink:

Really jealous how good these Xbox 1 Gold games are compared to PSN ones

even though i own all of these its still a fantastic selection.

Same with borderlands 2

I thought you could only get GWG games if you redeemed 1 month or higher subscriptions; I don't think you'll be able to get the games using a 14 day code.

It just hasn't been added yet... it will probably be added the same day it joins GWG - this has happened before.

Cracking month imo, I think I own all apart from walking dead, I hoped for ac 3 oh well

Good to hear, I got it on Steam awhile back but I was having some major crashing issues so never got anywhere with it. Like my whole computer locking up trying to do that tutorial sequence. Seemed a common issue with certain AMD cards sadly. Wonder if they ever fixed that in driver updates... Definitely will be one of the few GWG I play as of late.

Looks like it was Darksiders 2 back in October 14'

​same here, but good for anyone who needs them. great month

Thought Darksiders had already been on GWG, or was that Darksiders 2?

Decent month, even though I've already played WD2 on the PS4 (a rare decent PS+ offering!) and have no desire to replay any of the Assassins Creed games. Never played Ryse though, seems OK for free.

​Same then again when banned X box I wish I kept digital. I'm slowly selling all my physical

Darksiders Xbox 360 doesn't seem to be backwards compatible though?

https://www.gamespot.com/articles/all-the-xbox-one-backwards-compatibility-games/1100-6434025/

ETA: I just put Darksiders Xbox 360 into my Xbox one and it states not backward compatible, I always thought only backwards compatible games were added.

​Really enjoyed it, played it through 3 times now I think.

The walking dead two haven't even completed got on sale near two years back

I bought rhyse back when I sold staff on ebay I bought the legendary edition and now it's free .wonder if I can play the digital free copy but still keep the extra content installed sd be able .This is when I'm glad the extra content actually came as codes and not on disc. I might now play having a digital copy

Finally Ryse!

Opinions are like bumholes.....everybody has one.
What makes you think that anybody is interested in yours?

Nothing too exciting in my opinion

Amazing month! I've been looking to try out Ryse but never wanted to buy it. Already played the rest on PS3 so quite happy to play them again on Xbox

You've just explained why these games should not be considered free. They added them to compete with PSPlus, to make their package more appealing in order to have more customers subscribe and therefore make more money. These are not free. Free would be....no subscription required.

I only sign up to PSPlus for the free monthly games. I don't play online, although the option is nice.

I haven't bought an XB1 yet (I just have the 360 back home), but I have a considerable collection of XBL Gold rentals saved up for when I do buy one.
For those like me without access to a console, these posts are very handy. I can decide whether to subscribe for a month or skip.

You can't get these games without paying for the subscription. They are not free.

We'll probably end up with some other indie game now :disappointed:

Jinx

Its means us ps4 owners will FINALLY get Knack too...

nothing for me but they are some decent games. better than more indie monkey business lol. hot

Now, all that we need is Knack on PS+ :smile:

God, I bet you're a hoot at parties.

I quite enjoyed Ryse... Made a nice break from the seemingly endless open world games that were out at the time I played it.

Revelations was the weakest part of the Ezio trilogy imo, couldn't bring myself to finish it.
Darksiders is ace, but I'd prefer the warmastered edition (already have that on PC, so I'll just play that instead if i want to replay)
TWD - great season, but I've got enough of a backlog of TT games to not want to replay this...

So yeah, full house of games that I've already played this month :disappointed:

So it should be in freebies then?

Agree with your sentiment here, if even one person benefits from a posted deal, then it was worth posting.

Some people get so wound up about getting heat and validation for their deals. I could kinda understand if they was on some sort of incentive, if you got paid or free stuff for posting and were set targets, but if you're not, what's the issue, it's just a number on a screen and a load of comments from faceless strangers on the internet. Really not worth getting wound up about.

Granted there can be some **** house tactics going on at times, but hey that just goes back to the whole desperation for heat and validation.

Yes they are advertised on the dashboard but then so are all the digital game deals that get posted here a lot, I don't really see a difference.

Thanks for the heads-up post OP, nice one. :wink:

Wow, thanks for this. Gold just ran out and have 3 14day trials to use this months the perfect one to do it in!

At least people can stop saying "It'll be GWG next month!" every time there's a Ryse deal now! :laughing:

Excuse me Gentlemen (& Ladies)(&Lady Gentlemen), but in my humble opinion, this is not a deal. Neither are the PS+ posts. They offer valuable information but they are not deals. They are games you get by subscribing to a service of which there is no competition. In reality it appears they receive heat based on whether you like the games being offered. Or, you are bum licking. :man:

I think people just get excited - if they subscribe - this is like a brucie bonus... I know I always find out about the games here before anywhere else... both plus and GWG and I give heat as thanks for the info.. that maybe the wrong was to vote on this site but to be honest I don't take the heat thing that seriously... a deal has had over -100 before and I have bought it coz it was the cheapest at the time and I wanted it...

Seems like a good month (despite playing 3/4 games, played/complete ryse, I have TWD season 2 on steam (not my favourite) and I have AC revelations (the collectors edition, I think), at least I now know it'll be becoming BC soon :smile:

I paid £14 in the last few months and thought I got a deal!!

I honestly cant remember if the codes are on disk or not... ill check when I get home, if they are on disk... might be worth pop it in before trading and getting the extra content.. I know it all downloaded separately because it was about 15 separate packs!

Are they not advertised on the Xbox dashboard? My comment was more political than you gave it credit for. The 'problem' is the unjustified <3 certain posts get compared to the :smirk: other perhaps more credible posts receive.

I own them all :disappointed:

I agree 100% with you, this advertises the gold/ps+ service and may be a deal breaker for somebody who may want to subscribe

Glad for the Walking dead 2, bought season 1 and 2 on the 360 but didnt see any way of taking my saves for S3, then S1 was free for Xbox one, so decided to wait for S2

Mines still sealed, only paid £5.99 for it but im sure i will get most of my money back once ive used the codes inside, CeX give £5 trade, £3 cash atm surely the dlc is worth £3 if i sell the disc for cash????

Good month but I own all of them lol.

Awww, got excited thinking it was Darksiders Warmastered edition. I knew Ryse would make it eventually.

Will this be the legendary edition of Ryse?
I've checked the store on the Xbox app and it doesn't show a price for the standard edition so it looks like that's not available digitally.

Looks like I'll be giving Gold a miss this month.

Bummer, only one I don't have is Darksiders. Oh well still a really good month, the other 3 games are all amazing. Looking forward to Ryse multiplayer being populated!

An excellent selection here, despite already owning each of them on at least one other platform! I've yet to play through Ryse, and having it available on Xbox One may well be more of an incentive to get around to it than the Steam version.

Hah, I just completed and returned Ryse (made more than I paid for it!). Really good game, but don't see myself going back to it. It was only a matter of time for TWD: Season 2 as well - glad I held off. Happy to go through it on Xbox One instead and grab another 1,000G! :smile:

Ryse! Finally!

Not a bad month at all, well AC was a bit **** to be honest

Ohhhhh, I like this. not played Ryse yet

Sounds to me more like games that people would like to have as games with gold, but we'll find out soon.

Fantastic month! Walking Dead Season 2 is the one I'm looking forward to most. woop!

so much better than what sony put out

Heated added, OP. Looks like an exceptional month :smiley:

Where did you get the picture from? Can't find a verified Xbox Austria Facebook page anywhere.

Good month in april will trade my ryse legendary edition before it goes free

Very good month.

aww please let it be Ryse! been wanting to play that for ages!

Good that Ryse is on there, always wanted to try that and having more AC is great aswell! Could of been the remastered version of Darksiders though...

Decent month imo already own ryse legendary edition digitally (another one unstarted) but the 3 remaining are decent offerings

Personally I think that's a cracking month.... in terms of quality... but...

a terrible month for me.. I own 2 and own a third in the AC collection - so its just darksiders.... although I can now sell the disk version of Ryse I guess.... I wont but I could... shame it is another BC game that's been remastered and not completely new ones...

AC 3 would have been nice...
