Germany? Is that a country in Europe? I don't think Microsoft really cares, I'm sorry.
I hope it will be something good. We also didn't get Crackdown but got another game instead (can't remember which one)

unless you're paying for Gold just for GwG, which you shouldn't be

because im pretty sure--and I'm not really industry savvy like a lot of people, my assumptions are based on general common sense--that deals regarding publishers letting someone like MS/Sony takes time/negotiations regarding their service so that the pubs/devs can get funded? hell PS+ has been around for four years, when did it really start getting good? around say late '11/early '12?
at least that's what I think (then again I also think that people should collectively lower their expectations in regards to a brand new service/feature being added onto something being fucking amazing early on. there's always flaws with something like that.)
there you go, bye
Instead of crackdown we got shadowrun
Instead of gears of war we got halo wars

It's weird how people always defend the paltry game selection by saying, "Oh but you get to keep the games for free forever and ever!"
Germany will get Metro 2033 instead of Dead Island
GWG is still getting trounced by PS+, but MS is slowly getting there. Last month was good and this month is alright.
Whoever is in charge of the GWG choices must have a tower-defense fetish. This is the third one after Defense Grid and Iron Brigade.
Huh? We got Lost Planet 2 as Dead Rising 2 replacement. They seem to careGermany? Is that a country in Europe? I don't think Microsoft really cares, I'm sorry.
Sure, sure, I'll give you that. Microsoft has to make deals with publishers to put games on GwG. But Microsoft is also a publisher themselves. Did they have to give us Gears of War 1? It couldn't have been 2 or 3? Did they have to give us Halo 3? It couldn't have been Reach? The older Crackdown 1 instead of the newer (but admittedly inferior) Crackdown 2?

Everyone of those games are superior than the ones they didn't give us. I don't see what there is to complain about.
I guess they just like us more :3Clearly they view Germany and the UK as separate from the rest of yurop then.
They can't copy PS+ 1:1 because the 360 doesn't support a system that lets you rent games, the only option is to give the actual ownership to the User. With that system they'd probably have to pay more for a game than Sony.I'd rather MS just copy PS+ at this point. Honestly, my guess is the reason they don't is because they'd have to shell out more of that Gold money on getting good games.
I'm probably alone on this but at times GwG feels almost insulting. It's like MS saying here, have these scraps and don't complain. I'm not renewing Gold once I run out next month for the first time in years and I don't plan to come back
I'm glad my Gold ran out a week ago. Now I don't feel bad for not downloading games I wouldn't even play.
When you think about it, it's kind of odd that this even took so long. It used to be the norm for PC magazines to come with a free game.

I'm hoping to see some improvement for the XB1 program.

I always hear people raise the "keeping the games for real" defense as a reason for why the games are so much worse. Is that really a valid excuse? Honest question.
If i can choose i prefer to have the newer games for free and forever.
In a serious note, i'm a PS Plus subscriber (and i don't have a gold membership) and i love the program, but i'm afraid of what will happen when the service shuts down. I don't like the idea of losing all of "my" games. Because of this i buy all the PS+ games i like.
