Xbox Games With Gold |OT| Meh month for me

Shpeshal Nick · Oct 25, 2017

Thought we could have all Games With Gold discussion in one thread kinda like the

unofficial one we used to have.

Here is a list of all the games that were part of the games with gold program for both

Xbox One and Xbox 360

For reference: Xbox One games are yours only while you subscribe.

Xbox 360 games are yours forever

PS. Remember the golden rule. If they haven't announced the games by around the 25th

of the previous month, it's probably going to be a meh month.

For owners of both Xbox One and PS4 that are subbed to both, here is the PS Plus equivalent of this thread.

I believe they are typically the last Thursday of a month, so we should know tomorrow.

Also, I believe this should be in the Hangout bucket.

Aphotic · Oct 25, 2017

Here's hoping for something good for the One X launch!

Oh should it? Oops. If any of the mods see it, feel free to move it.

KDC720 · Oct 25, 2017

Honestly I wouldn't mind an OG Xbox game, Crimson Skies or Ninja Gaiden: Black would be cool.

RoKKeR · Oct 25, 2017

Great title lol. Might play through Gone Home for the first time this weekend.

nihilence · Oct 26, 2017

Were there no leaks or hints this month?

Doesn't look like it. Definitely going to be an average month.

Silky · Oct 26, 2017

Yeah this month was mad mediocre for me. Gone Home simply isn't the game for me and those 360 titles were flabby.

schatuk · Oct 26, 2017

Crimson Skies would be splendid

I wouldn't be surprised if there's an original Xbox title in there to promote that feature further, although if that were to happen, I suspect it might be in the form of "Here's a bonus game for this month!"; I can see 360 users feeling perhaps a bit off if an original Xbox title takes up one of the 360 slots, and I can't imagine the tirades if it takes an Xbox One slot!

Falchion · Oct 26, 2017

This month's games are not meh to me!

Shpeshal Nick · Oct 26, 2017

Tale from the Borderlands and Trackmania Turbo
Nights and Deadfall on 360

I fucking KNEW Trackmania would go free. So glad I held off. Actually a good month for me despite how late they announced. Borderlands was free on Plus but it's great.

Shpeshal Nick · Oct 26, 2017

Updated the OP and I"ll try to do so every month so people jumping in fresh don't have to dig through

TheWickedSoul · Oct 26, 2017

Deadfall is sick for me beacuse i got all the special edition stuff from a Gamestop dumpster. (great condition) but no game. I'll take 3 "free" new games and 1000G from Borderlands

Novocaine · Oct 26, 2017

I bought Trackmania on the last sale a week or two ago :(

Rembrandt · Oct 26, 2017

The whole season? Fuck yeah.

Only played the first episode but I really enjoyed it and I'm not even a big fan of the series.
I wish TT was able to patch in that crowd play feature into their older games.
Eh on the rest. Is trackmania any good? I can do with an arcadey racer.

statham · Oct 26, 2017

Tales is fantastic, not really interest in the other games. meh month for me since I own tales. but everyone download Tales of borderland., Its a very fun ride.

John Caboose · Oct 26, 2017

Hey statham!

Thanks for the OT, instant subscription.

Won't take you long. Whole 100% took me about 3-4 hours. It was an alright game; would've liked it a lot more if it was a Telltale style game where we lived the letters.

Speaking of Telltale, really excited for Borderlands. I've heard it's one of their best game for a while.

SpartyCrunch · Oct 26, 2017

Tales from the Borderlands is so good!

Especially the introductions for each episode, but on the whole it's definitely my favorite Telltale series. And I love The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us.

For some reason I could never get into the Tales games, gave them a few tries but still couldn't.

Tried the newest of the Batman too, just could get into it.

Marvie · Oct 26, 2017

Nights and Tales from the Borderlands? Nice!

Shpeshal Nick · Oct 27, 2017

Already own Nights but I think I only paid like $5 for it

John Caboose · Oct 27, 2017

This month is not for me... I don't even know what I would want on GWG at this point. I've bought most games that I want to play tbh.

Bear · Oct 27, 2017

Tales from the Borderlands is amazing, but not quite feeling the others.

Panic Freak · Oct 27, 2017

I love it when a game I've considered buying multiple times but never did goes into GWG. Looking at you TM Turbo.

This is exactly me. When I realised it was a Ubi game, I was like "Nearly every single Ubi game goes free, ill wait it out"

flkRaven · Oct 27, 2017

Man, I was SOOOOO close to buying Trackmania so many times. This time my indecision pays off! CAN'T WAIT!

I wish I didn't buy Trackmania Turbo at launch. It's a good game, but I hardly played it.

This is me with DmC: Devil May Cry, so if it ever hits GWG you can assume I just bought it.

Trackmania Turbo is pretty fun.

Deleted member 11426 · Oct 27, 2017

Trackmania is great, just wish the single player was laid out better. It's addicting going for green medals.

The online also relies on having a good population which it barely had on the ps4 after release.

netprints · Oct 28, 2017

Trackmania is a good one. With more people having it there is more competition for the game.

Those 360 games are terrible. Out of such a huge catalog they should be offering far better games.

Spidey · Oct 28, 2017

Been playing through the Turing Test the past few days, longer game than I expected and the difficulty curve is pretty good, there's a few hard spikes but generally you don't have to bang your head against the wall too much. I feel like GwG has been slipping a little behind PS+ lately but between this, Oxenfree and Gone Home, the indie selection is top notch.

Ps+ has been really good lately. But GwG always gets a bit shitty towards the end of the year.

January will probably be killer instinct season 3 no doubt

PunkMilitia · Oct 28, 2017

Damn, was hoping to dust of the Xbox. Might as well sell it. Was hoping the X might have made the Xbox team get some more exclusives out.

TalonJH · Oct 28, 2017

Please give Tales From The Borderlands a chance even if you don't care about Borderlands. It's at lest good for a laugh.

Rembrandt · Oct 28, 2017

Can we discuss the weekly sales in here, too?

There are a lot of good ones for the Halloween sales. Very tempted to grab doom. That or DBD, even though I didn't really enjoy the free days - I need to actually give it a shot.

but also I need to grab cuphead. :(

FYI there's a sub-worth thread for discussing weekly deals here!

Up a day early,

Nights into Dreams... (was 10$) 360 BC, Nov (1st-15th)

Trackmania Turbo (was 40$) Nov (1st-31st)

RY2D · Oct 31, 2017

I played a bit of the Trackmania demo back then, felt very fun. Looking forward to playing the full. As for Nights, I have actually been considering purchasing that, so it's nice to know I waited a bit and it ended up GWG.

Barrel Cannon · Oct 31, 2017

As a fan of Nights and Trackmania I think it's a great month.

As someone who has been interested in trying out Tales from the Borderland after hearing good things about it as well as the story about how it was a labor of love from the studio to get it shipped, I'll be checking that out

Chris. · Oct 31, 2017

Just grabbed the GwGs. Surprised they were up so early this month.

Yep, I played all 3 this month. Turing was probably my favourite, just because I like puzzles, and I liked the subject matter. Load times were slightly crazy.

I found the first 15 minutes or so of oxenfree quite teenagery and cheesy, and slightly cringy but the game gets good as the mystery starts.
