Yea it does when someone votes hot...not cold as far as I'm aware.. I had a little hissy fit? Hahaha errrm no I think you will find you're the one having a hissy fit... How did you get 3 notifications when you have just 2 deals that aren't expired? I think you're just talking nonsense. Enjoy getting banned. Oh and again learn how to spell you complete idiot. Glad we have that mute button for people like you :smile: bye!

Oh, and the app gives you alerts when your threads are voted on. Three votes on old threads immediately after your first little hissy fit. Could be a coincidence, doubt it though.

If you want to argue with someone go look in mirror... I didn't vote cold on any of your deals either... I don't even know how you would know that someone did unless you keep track of exactly what the number is which is just sad... You sound like you just come on here looking for arguments acting like a child haha and learn how to spell fool.

BF3 is a recent back-compat update though. Renewed online community, and worth it for those who aren't keen on WWI weapons and vehicles. BF games in general have great longevity and a loyal online fanbase.

The point is they aren't worth much i thought that was pretty obvious... They say the value is something like £90? Yea no..
robwdavies
25 Aug 17#69
Well what is the point then?
As far as I can tell you were complaining about the value of the free games this month, which by any metric is substantially more than the cost of a month subscription.

6.5/10, formerly of Polygon, a self centered "gaming journalist" whose reputation got absolutely destroyed for that and also being unable to control analogs on Doom 4 easy mode. One of the worst gaming journalists ever in the history of gaming.

Not sure why games with gold always gets so hot. We all know that every month Microsoft announce free games! :thinking:

Agreed and Split Second. O keep looking and hoping.
Pretty good month IMHO . Certainly better than August.
Will definitely get Forza 5 and Oxenfree. Can get BF3 via EA Access.

Boo hoo. One month of a (max) £40 annual subscription as yielded just £10 worth of games. Even if you were paying the max for a month (£5.99) it would still represent excellent value.
robwdavies
25 Aug 17#51
Oxenfree is an absolutely brilliant game, shame I already own it. If you loved Stranger Things (and to some extent Interstellar) there's a good chance you'll love this. Forza 5 will be nice to have again though.

You need to get yourself FH2.... Arguably better than FH3. Both brilliant.

Not too bad, they had forza 6 platinum for £26 on deals with gold a month or so ago. Absolutely love forza. Great for anyone who hasn't tried any of the series!

Great racing game for those who have missed it, and helps drum up interest in Forza series just ahead of Forza 7 in October.
Also heads up to be aware of the pattern of Forza games getting delisted 4 years after launch - Forza 5 being next in line for this treatment. Grab it while it's free, buy any DLC you want when it's on sale - if Forza content isn't on sale this week, it WILL be next week :smile: Forza 4 released Oct 2011, delisted from Xbox store Sept 2015 Forza Horizon 1, released Oct 2012, offered free in GWG Sept 2016, delisted from Xbox store Oct 2016 Forza 5 released Nov 2013, offered free in GWG Sept 2017, delisting likely Nov 2017
Games that get delisted only prevents people buying it from the store. If you already own it, along with any DLC, you can still download it from your account history.

Better month for me. Not played any of them, will give Forza 5 and Battlefield 3 a go for definite. Dont know much about the other 2 though.
dave859
24 Aug 17#35
I'd imagine most 360 players would be pretty happy with battlefield 3, Xbox one players will probably already have it though EA access. Forza 5 is pretty good but ain't needed if you have 6. The stand out here is oxen free, that really is a brilliant story driven game.

Forza 5 is a decent giveaway. I am sure this giveaway has absolutely no connection whatsoever with the fact Forza 7 is out very soon.

As somebody who has HT i have no idea where what issues IGN had with the game, it is a light fun arcade fantasy boat racing game with nitro's(boost) and jumps and is quite fun, it is not the GT of a boat racing simulators. lol
Metacritic user reviews game this game 8.3..........nuff said IGN. lol

24 Aug 17#19
Re:Top Spin 4. Don't think it would be selected, as it is not backwards compatible for Xbox one, which I thought was a condition of being a 'Games on Gold'
Gordon_Lea to pr10rflanker
24 Aug 17#28
For games that are not currently Backwards Compatible, they will become Backwards Compatible when part of Games With Gold. So any game could be a possibility for Games With Gold.

2 month’s after I bought Forza 5 and add-ons! So annoying! Oh well, it’s a brilliant game. Hot from me :rage:

WARNING: according to IGN's Arthur Gies, Hydro Thunder Hurricane is "plagued by convoluted menus and awful load times."
So, brace yourselves for getting lost in the game's menus, which make it nearly impossible to start a race. When you finally do find your way out of the 'convoluted menus', expect to wait a very long time before you can actually start racing!
It's probably for the best that Vector Unit made playing Hydro Thunder Hurricane such a slow and difficult experience, because according to IGN -- and no other review site -- it's not worth your time playing. Their score: 5.5/10.

Really is a poor month imo. There's like £10 worth of games there. The games aren't bad at all just cheap, BF3 is like 50 pence lol.

Forza 5 is awesome, and almost all the DLC can be grabbed cheap on the MS store, and a lot of free cars to be had, i got a digital copy of the game for £5 at the beginning of the year and another £5 for all the DLC on a sale MS had a few months ago, game has a lot of gameplay.

Often if you check on your xbox before it runs out, they'll offer it for £25. I have paid gold sub over 10yrs now and never paid more than £25

The Xbox one games are only playable with a gold subscription. 360 games are to keep

Do you get to keep them if you let your XBL Gold subscription lapse, and can you use a free month voucher for this?

You keep the 360 versions. Xbox One games are tied to the subscription.

As for forza 5, I thought that was prebuilt into all xbones like super hangon or alex kidd were im the sega master system and master system II respectively
Anyhoo, poor month for me, come on microsoft, dont turn into psplus
