    Outside of The Turing Test, that's a poor month. The Xbox will now be the third platform I own Gone Home on, despite never playing it. Got it in a Humble Bundle on PC and with Playstation Plus.

    I got it for free on PC and played the first 20 mins or so and reinstalled windows so I lost it as it was installed on my PC rather than on steam or origin and I had previously deleted the installer.

    So I am kind of glad it is now free on Xbox so I can play it.

    I just noticed that as well. I nearly paid for it by accident.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,663 ✭✭✭marcbrophy


    They must be having trouble with Rayman, it's still €9.49 on the store! :(

    Contacted support on the webpage, apparently it's a known issue. I went ahead with the purchase based on their advice and haven't seen a charge on my Paypal account yet.

    12:57 p.m.
    Me

    12:58 p.m.
    Aries C
    I definitely understand, you should not be charge try to purchase it, nothing to worry if you got charged I can definitely process a refund. Shall we try it now?
    12:59 p.m.
    Me
    I didn't get charged as I stopped the process however I do want to get the game for free under the Games With Gold program
    1:00 p.m.
    Aries C
    How much is the amount the system charging you?
    1:01 p.m.
    Me
    9.49 Euro, it should have an option to be free to gold members
    1:02 p.m.
    Aries C
    Yes I definitely understand, this has been forwarded to the developer, and the work around to get the game free is to just go straight ahead and if he ask for a payment option just choose purchase the game no worries you wont be charge but if the system charged you I can definitely process the refund.
    1:04 p.m.
    Me

    I'm still going to wait until it says free, I'll just be adding it to my epic backlog anyway.

    Rayman 3 HD

    It's finally showing up as free, got it no problems there.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,663 ✭✭✭marcbrophy


    Yup, it's now free alright :)

    From Reddit: Kalimba is Free as GwG in another region (similar to Zoo Tycoon a few months ago) - here's the region link
    cover_small.jpg

    Kalimba is a clever, couch co-op puzzle game and the perfect way to end any friendship or relationship.

    Don't forget to switch the Microsoft / Xbox site back to your region, otherwise in a couple of months you'll be wondering why it's in Chinese.

    Every time I try to buy & download 360 GWG games, it keeps asking for me to have a connected card or paypal, even though its free.
    Doesn't happen when I buy the One GWG games.

    Is there any way around that? I hate leaving credit cards & paypal info on any account online.

    No unfortunately. My details have been in their system for years and I never had any problem.

    edit: I think if you use a Xbox 360 you do not get that problem.

    If you put in an inactive debit or credit card number, they won't be processing the payment so the free games will go through without a validation problem

    Could you use a Revolut card?


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 10,857 Mod ✭✭✭✭CatInABox

    Any kind of valid payment method will work.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,663 ✭✭✭marcbrophy


    You can use PayPal now if you want to also!
    I switched mine to paypal a while back, so don't have to deal with changing out the details for old cards anymore :)

    if you go into your account on xbox.com and check your purchase history , I believe they'll show up there.

    Don't think there's a way to separate them out from your purchases, but here's a list of all games that have been games with gold at one time or another.

    I never purchased any games digitally. Looking through that list is daunting as I only had gold status now and again.

    If you go to your 'ready to install' list you'll see them
    Its in the games and apps' menu

    That only shows X360 games that you can play on Xb1, plenty of X360 games would be missing from that ready to install list

    The games with gold have all been backwards compatible for years now

    Finished Oxenfree last night, wasn't bad but hard to really call it a "game"

    No challenge at all to it

    It's part of a new trend of games to have them more as an interactive story more than a traditional game - Telltale are making a killing with it at the moment. Gone Home, another of the Games with Gold this month, is like it as well.

    For Oxenfree, your choices and conversations can have a big impact on the relationships in the game. It was interesting and entertaining and the conversation system was really quite natural, impressive voice acting.
