Games With Gold: July 2014 - Guess the games
- Thread starter Castef
- Start date
I borrowed it off a friend and i definitely glad i did. Its a good game but has zero replay value though, the coop multiplayer is boring as hell.
Def worth a rent though. Its quite short as well but thats not a bad thing seeming how repetitive it is. the last thing you do in the game is a 20+ input QTE which always goes down well for an epic final encounter which never turns up.

I want Super Time Force. We'll get Lococycle.

They should skip Lococycle because they know nobody want's it. Putting crappy games on GWG is not a thing MS needs to be doing. I know there isn't much to choose from right now but they can do better than that.
Be brave MS and give us something good!

Too soon for Super Time Force, I'd say.
Also, I have to admit that somehow i had fun reviewing LocoCycle.
It is a mess on so many levels, yet it is... uh... fun.
And the live-action scenes are good. I mean... "I need a similar weapon..."

Jog on. Loco isn't crappy. It's a surprisingly good game.
They would be great candidates for the GwG though... Most people may not want to pay for them, but if they get to play them for "free", they may discover that they're not so bad for that price.
I think Crimson Dragon would be a good choice (although I already own it
I'd be delighted if they chose Lego Marvel, I intend to play it at one point, but not at the current price.
Fighter Within is worth no price. Unless your drunk and there are better drunk games to play.
Hopefully 360 will get a co-op game or something. Or anarchy reigns. That game is the poster child for PS+ and GWG.

Everyone should at least experience LocoCycle.
I never did. I wanted to give this a fair shake because it was on the new Kinect. I like it. *shrug*

I mean sure everyone is entitled to their own opinion. My guess is that most people would prefer something else.

Well I disagree, but I know that I'm alone on that one. Or maybe I've been drunk for months.
LocoCycle and Zoo Tycoon have not been on sale recently. So one of those.
Everything else feels a little too new.
I could theoretically see Rayman. DR because its no longer exclusive and I could see MS wanted to get a boost from giving away a big name game.
Either of those would have me thrilled.
So.. basically lococycle and meltdowns.

I think it will be too early as well. I'll have probably already purchased it by the time it is on GWG.
I wouldn't mind Zoo Tycoon though.

Sony has time and time again dropped a free game on PS+ a month or two after it was on a major sale...
Think about it. It's a great way to squeeze additional revenue out of a title. You sure as fuck don't want to put it on sale AFTER it was free...

I agree to a certain extent. However, not 1-2 weeks after it was on sale, that would be a bit naughty. As you say a month or two would be fair.

What about PowerStar Golf? I bought it at launch and its a cool game. Didn't they change the way you pay for that game though?
Maybe it wouldn't be a good fit for the GWG? I don't know how they changed the monitization model.

Wasn't it only two games for that month as it was the anniversary of Gold ?
Let's be realistic here, the platform hasn't even been out a year, how much content do you expect them to provide for free a month ? Be reasonable , the 360 has a massive back catalog, the Xbox One doesn't .

"Next month" can mean anything from 0-3 weeks the way PS+ works.
I'm sure there will be some salt in the future. Never assume that a PS+/GWG half-off sale assures that said game won't be free very, very soon.
It was 3 games instead of 2 on 360. 2 games should be the norm

Zoo Tycoon would be great, actually.

Is the xbox one definitely getting new games each month? I hope so, but I'm sure I read somewhere that the current two are there until August :-/

If they end up doing two games for July then I'd imagine Lococycle is pretty much a lock. As for the other game I'd guess Zoo Tycoon or Rayman Legends with possibly Thief as a longshot. It seems like everything else that is even remotely noteworthy has been on sale recently. Maybe they could throw Strike Suit Zero in there.
If they only do one game next month and it ends up being Lococycle then they're going to be getting a lot of hate, and rightfully so. Surely they aren't that dumb.

Two games have been the norm on 360 yes

Yup, it's a really underrated game. The entire end sequence is just mind blowing awesome.
I think a lot of people would be surprised by how good it is.

Its weird... I think the way i'd describe it is "WTF?"
I don't think I enjoyed it, but its compelling-ish, I felt like I wanted to continue playing it, weird game....

Well, nothing really exciting for July... except Guacamelee, for those who haven't played it yet.
I have a feeling that after the June games (Dark Souls etc) MS is going to give the 360 a slow death in regards to the "Games with Gold" program.
Those are all excellent choices that I actually don't have any of again.
I have the other XBL games from the BattleBlock devs except for BattleBlock itself so it would complete that collection for me.
Great choices this month - wouldn't have guessed any of those, especially Guacamelee debuting for free on XB1.
