Before we start splashing the cash too early however, let’s first take a look at the Xbox One and Xbox 360 freebies on offer with the Xbox Live Games With Gold of January 2019. As we kick off the new year, just how good or bad are the titles nestled within our monthly subscription?"
celest's pixelated look put me off (main reason why i refuse to give minecraft a try) but i keep hearing great things about it in terms of overall game design and a story i can relate to so now i'm looking forward to it.
Just trying to help out those newcomers to the Xbox world I guess! Nowt wrong with that.
How would you feel if the next digital game you paid for was a duplicate of an item already in your library?
Major Nelson: For the month of January, Xbox Live Gold members will receive four new free games - two on Xbox One and two on Xbox 360 - as part of the Games with Gold program.
Celeste looks cool, as for the rest...meh. another lackluster month for GWG.
Hopefully I don't get an..oh, it's an Xbox article, no worries.
Celeste is supposedly a great little indie, but it seems like GwG doesn't offer the same number of quality AAAs since the advent of Game Pass. I know BF1 was given recently and there was one month featuring For Honor and another AAA, but overall that is an aberration rather than the norm. Tbh BF1 is practically given away these days. It's $3.99 on PSN atm.
A ton of games just released on Games Pass. Ashen, Below, Senu Helblade, I have so many games to play, I cant keep up!
yah I'm drowning in games, I'm nearly done with Shadow of the Tombraider, nearing the end then a few of the extra dlc challenge tombs. Then I have Final Fantasy Maxima, FFXIII-lightinging returns(recently BC x enhanced), Hellblade, Below, then KH3 at end of January, also need to give Spiderman a go (just finished kingpins intro section), crackdown3 and Black Desert in feb.
Tons on the backlog too. Great time for gaming.
Ori and the Blind Forest released today! The new one drops soon, and will be on Games Pass day one. Have never played Ori.
if you've not tried guardian of light with a friend, its great coop fun, unfortunately I've beaten both of those Lara Croft games.
Celeste is awesome. However they gave that Lara Croft game before. This is the first time that either PS+ or GWG has hit us with a duplicate and it's not cool. It doesn't matter if some people missed it back then it's not fair for those of us who have been members since the start and already have it. First they give us an old OG Xbox game last month and now they hand us a duplicate. Not cool at all.
Not cool? You feel so entitled that you deserve something new every month? Gold was meant for playing online, they added the games as a bonus.
Entitled? Give me a break you corporate apologist. It doesn't matter that Xbox Live was only for playing online years ago. The fact is they promised 2 new titles on Xbox One and Xbox 360 every month for years now. There are people who purchase Xbox Live just for the free games. Not everyone cares about playing online. You aren't the one who decides what Gold is for.
Same thing happened a couple of years ago on PS+. People complained and got Sony to offer up something else. Neither situation is something really worth crying over imo.
I'm sorry when was this? I've been a Plus member since day 1 in 2010 and they have never given me a duplicate game. Can you tell me exactly when this was and what the game was? Was it in another country? I know for sure the US has never had one.
Ah so yeah it was in Europe only. I'm in the US so that's why I wasn't quite sure. They've never pulled that stunt here. Still at least they made it up for the EU players and gave them something else. Microsoft needs to do the same thing.
I honestly don’t care. more then half the time i don’t even play the games with gold games, or i already own them, so to me this isn’t a big deal that i get a 360 game twice. I’m sure if there’s enough people that complain about it then they’d do something about it, but otherwise meh, not something to get worked up over unless it became the norm. then it’d be shittier.
i’m sure you are flaming mad about sony removing PS3 and Psvita games as well, especially right after their prices went up they announced it
Actually no I'm not. I've been expecting it honestly for awhile now. At least they gave people a head's up a whole year in advance. They did it right. That way no one who only had those platforms renewed their PS+ and then felt ripped off later. Microsoft is just straight up changing their rules without any notice and leaving some members with less than what they promised.
First time in about 6 months that im actually looking forward GWG. Celeste alone makes it worth being excited over.
Weird how people used to rip Sony for giving quality indies on PS Plus, but now people are hyped about them on GwG. The tides have seemingly shifted a bit.
I haven't played any of these titles so I'm excited to give them try. Far Cry 2 is the only one of that series that I skipped.

Well, you'd be wrong as even though E3 is rocking on regardless, the Xbox Live Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale is continuing to deliver bargains galore to Xbox gamers. But what are the very best and very worst of the deals on the table between the 12th-18th June 2018? We take a little look."
