Glad it didn't sell like shit.
But it did. It's free on GwG, so he's at least being compensated for it.

someone told him they were waiting for it to not be free to buy it, he replied with it doesnt matter. So hes getting paid
Probably not many from what we were hearing ...

Had no idea what it was, but seemed interesting and downloaded it today given it's that once in a blue moon period that I'm on the XBO.
Hope I enjoy it as I was originally only looking into this month's GWG for The Witcher 2, given that it's my only option as I don't have access to the PC version to continue/finish it.

While I wouldn't put it that way, the game did nothing for me and my play time lasted half an hour max. I did look at the relevant threads to see if I was missing something, but just seems the game wasn't for me.
It's the only Xbox One game I have finished. Coincidentally it's also my favorite so far

I didnt like it at all. The controls were awful and ive said it loads of times - losing stamina to walk forward one step is shitty game design. I only did the plane mission then never played it again.

Same here. I am too spoiled for choice with games at the moment.
(It was a black joke about how it will never be finished)
Sweet. Maybe I'll give it a try sometime soon.

Nope, you can use a controller if you wish but Kinect certainly makes the action sequences a lot more enjoyable. Iirc you can switch between the controller and Kinect on the fly which is handy

I started playing it a few weeks ago for maybe an hour and haven't played it since.

I was really enjoying playing it, then the ending came, and I was like "lol wot? is that it?" Genuinely glad I never paid for it. 2 hours long, if that. Pretty pathetic.
Loved the characters, loved the tone, loved the music, loved it all really. Bar the length.
Also, making an episodic game one of the Games with Gold is a pretty shitty move from Microsoft. Yeah yeah yeah, I know I'm not entitled to anything blah blah blah, but if they insist on giving games out for free each month at least make them full fucking games.

I had bought it but it was sufficiently ahead of the GWG release that I'm not to flustered over it.
Neat game, I guess I can say I enjoyed it.
Kinect controls are bad for most of it. Only fun for the "Action sequences".
Unless struggling to navigate everything interests you.

I enjoyed it, would like to see more. Kinect controls suit the weirdness of the game but they can be frustrating at times. If thats the best the new Kinect can do for games I'm glad it got ditched.

People would play/try anything as long as it's free, imo, so...

I downloaded it because it was free, although I don't think I'll ever play considering I watched a full playthrough and was cringing at almost every piece of dialog spoken. More importantly the gameplay looked like garbage which is inexcusable even if the game had good dialog and/or plot.

Kinect is implemented very well in the game. Very immersive.
Also, it works well with D4.

I... agree. Awful voice acting, awful graphics, Nonsensical story. And technically it's not even sound, game feels like it's running at 20fps or something.

I only realised it was out when I saw the thread on gaf about it's poor sales.

Totally loved it, hope this helps with Season 2.
I'd hazard a guess and say it was, at least in part, a goodwill gesture by Microsoft to try and increase exposure. I don't think anybody has commented on how devs are compensated for offering GWG and PS+ freebies (though I feel confident in saying that neither MS nor Sony pony up the full cost of the game per download, minus their 30%), but in the case of D4 it was struggling to sell, so something is better than nothing.

I picked it up when hearing it wasn't too well, have yet to actually boot it up haha. Glad to support it regardless and i'll get to it soon.

Would Swery be receiving any money from the downloads? It was entirely MS funded from what we know, so how does it work if the developer has already been paid for their work?

Have Played != sold.
I think SWERY also counts people just downloading the demo and asking for more people to buy it.
Buy it, people, buy it. SWERY is awesome.

Ah, was it? Swery owns the game itself so I assumed it was at least partially funded internally, not entirely unlike DR3 and Ryse.
