New Games with Gold for September 2020

From Xbox: "September’s Games with Gold is here! On Xbox One, protect New York City in the online tactical shooter Tom Clancy’s The Division, and take part in the engaging point-and-click adventure The Book of Unwritten Rules 2. On the Xbox 360, and Xbox One via Backward Compatibility, make the world a more colorful place in de Blob 2 and get ready for tongue-in-cheek humor and violence in the third-person shooter, Armed and Dangerous."

Amazing lineup . Thanks to think I’ll not need to buy games for the next 6 months :)

[potatoseal]

HAHAHAHAAHAHAAaaa omg BAHAHAAAAAA

[Donnie81]

Yeah it was a joke . Those games are awful

[TheRacingX]

Armed and dangerous is actually a really good game, The division gets boring fast, never played the other 2

[RpgSama]

Then they talk about MS being "pro-consumer" not only are they are basically charging you for Xbox Live only to play online, because there is no value on the games they give you anymore. But even worse, they are "steering" customers towards Game Pass which in some business sectors is actually an illegal practice or at least an unethical one.

[Donnie81]

Who pays for love or plus just for the games? If u don’t play mp games just buy the service one month at a time to snag the games u want. Let’s not pretend plus is better because it’s not. With gamepass ultimate u get live and gamepass making it a far better deal. Also games with gold u get double the games and the 360 games are urs to keep. So I think getting more bang for your buck is very pro consumer.

@RpgSama

Sony and Microsoft don't need to give you anything, be happy your getting something.

May be a bad month in your opinion, but they have to cater for all markets, some months will be good others bad.

And gamepass now includes xbox live gold (ultimate), so it actually works out cheaper to get gamepass ultimate as opposed to getting both.

And you say "But even worse, they are "steering" customers towards Game Pass which in some business sectors is actually an illegal practice or at least an unethical one."

No one forces you to pay anything.

[CaptainHenry916]

What's so amazing about this lineup? 🤔

[fathertime4464]

Well this sucks again. Wish Microsoft would give of more high quality games like ps plus does every month

[rpvenom]

They can't because then it'll be harder to justify getting gamepass

[DJStotty]

not really

GWG games you get to keep
Gamepass you rent

[lodossrage]

@Djstotty

you never got to keep the Xbox One games with GWG. And you used to be able to keep the 360 ones.

[DJStotty]

@Shaggy2304

As long as you are an active Gold subber, you get to keep the xbox one games, 360 playable offline. So :-

Gold sub = Xbox One games playable for the duration of the sub (do not know anyone who unsubs)
360 games yours to keep.

"Your Xbox Live Gold membership gets you free Games with Gold every month: two on Xbox One and two on Xbox 360.

Go to the Gold members' area on your console to download your games. Games show up on the 1st and 16th of every month.
Or, go to Games with Gold on Xbox.com to queue your games up for download to your console.
You'll need an Xbox Live Gold membership to claim your games. Xbox One games are yours to play as long as you have an active Gold membership, and Xbox 360 games are yours to keep."

Is that better?

[TheEnigma313]

smh this is just charles barkley "turrable".

[lodossrage]

Come on guys, when are you going to realize not every month is going to give you great stuff.

I say the same thing with PS Plus. Some months are going to be great, some aren't. You have to realize these services have to cater to everyone, so there will always be someone that likes that sport game or movie tie-in game that majority of us (myself included) hate.

[TheEnigma313]

PS plus has way more good months than bad.

[Elda]

That's subjective..an opinion. My opinion it's 50/50.

[monkey602]

I'd fully accept that but its obvious Games With Gold has been consistently terrible because all focus is on GamePass. There's absolutely no denying it!

[DJStotty]

You mean like Sony focuses more on PSNOW than PS+?

What's the difference?

[monkey602]

Plus has had a great year.

I also never mentioned Sony. Some people just can't accept criticism without trying to deflect it

[fathertime4464]

Dude I love my Xbox, but its been a long ass time since we got some really good games with live

[RpgSama]

Some people would be happy with just "good" they don't even have to be really good, but they just give trash since at least a year.

[RgR]

Almost Every month of ps plus gives me something to try that's new and interes me
...not the case with Xbox.

[DJStotty]

Slow news week for PS5 probably, commentors start beating old drums when they have no news on their platform.

[lodossrage]

Ok, now only a fanboy would make a comment like that.

[lodossrage]

@DJStotty

Sony doesn't focus on PS Now More than PS Plus. I don't know where you got that idea. Look at the games Plus has given compared to GWG and that should tell you all you need to know.

Look, you can defend xbox all you want. But let's be reasonable and factual please.

[gamer7804]

yah basically nothing again, division 1 is like 99cents and they sold division 2 for 3$ a couple months ago... the rest are really bad.

[darthv72]

Armed and Dangerous... man that is such a good game. Fun and funny. The topsy turvy weapon is one of the best. I lost my original copy years ago and never really got around to picking up another but hey... this will be a nice addition to my digital library.

Never played any of the blob games so this is a first. I dont quite care for the division but give me a splinter cell game and we are talking.

edit. i just watched ign review of De Blob 2 and it is like splatoon before there was splatoon. They gave it an 8. Looks fun.

[jaymacx]

It’s SAD when you get better Free games from Epic than a paid for service SMH.

[lodossrage]

Epic is a much newer service. So they'll have more to give early on in quality games.

Let Epic's free service stick around as long as GWG or even longer like PS Plus. You'll start seeing the dip in quality there too.

[Iceball2000]

They really want people to pay for GP, GWG has been junk since they have been focusing on GP

[DJStotty]

Even if you pay for gamepass ultimate (which is what they are pushing at the moment) you get the free games with gold, so your comment makes zero sense.

Surely they could promote it better if they have better GWG, then they can sell Ultimate better.

Games can only go on GWG if they have an agreement with the publishers, same with gamepass.

[DeadManMMX]

Lol GWG is on death row.

[TravsVoid]

It would be nice if we could choose to just receive original xbox and 360 games each month. I'm more into the classics than the xbox one games we get.

[autobotdan]

Games with Mold

[monkey602]

I have to commend you on a job well done! That made me laugh 😆

[DJStotty]

PS Pus

[phatak]

I DONT EVEN LOGIN TO N4G TO COMMENTS BUT TBH I LOGGED IN AND WRITING IN ALL CAPS TO LET EVERYONE KNOW THAT I ACTUALLY FEEL LIKE THROWING UP LOOKING AT THIS LINEUP, EVERY MONTH AROUND THE 25TH I CHECK TO SEE WHAT GAMES THEY WILL GIVE FOR 360 SINCE ATLEAST I GET TO KEEP THOSE PERMANENTLY BUT EVERY MONTH ITS BEEN TRASH SINCE GAME PASS CAME ABOUT, IM DONE WITH XBOX GAMES WITH GOLD LOL THESE GAMES ARE NOT WORTH PLAYING EVEN FOR FREE ESPECIALLY THE 360 LINEUP IS WORSE THAN TRASH, THEY NEED TO PAY ME MONEY TO PLAY THIS SH*T !!!!

[darthv72]

Thank you for that. See you same time next month.

[Sciurus_vulgaris]

Pretty weak month.

[DJStotty]

In your opinion

[thebobbywhite2629]

Ive wanted to try 3/4 of these games, and de blob 2 maybe, and im not defending games with gold because they're usually awful, but these arent TERRIBLE choices imo.

[MadLad]

Pretty weak.
Good games, but if you don't already own them, they can be had for a few bucks each.

That said, the people slamming them for concentrating on Gamepass vs GfG seem to be ignoring we just saw a Plus month that only consisted of games had in their Now subscription.

[DJStotty]

Good job i can get them for free now then and save a few bucks!!

[2ndhandcorn]

Armed and dangerous is so good had fun back in the day, fixed gun level on the dam wall shooting at hundreds of enemies was like the first horde moment .

[Godmars290]

Why are they still doing this while offering Gamepass?
