    That's what he was saying in the first place.

    I'd say the best way would be just to google it, I'll see if I can find a list of free to play stuff tomorrow.

    I did google it but didnt find anything

    It is a bit annoying that you cant filter the games by price, would make it a lot easier to find cheaper games and free games :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,252 ✭✭✭sniper_samurai


    This should help. While a little cumbersome it is a list of all free games and dlc available for the One.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,542 ✭✭✭dor83


    You could go to digitalgamesprices and order them by price, just click on the arrow by the Irish flag, that will bring all the free games to the top. I think that is probably the easiest way.

    €30 for the Legendary Edition in Smyths atm, which contains the base game, the Dark Below, House of Wolves and the Taken King.

    Oh cheers for that. 30 isnt too bad. How does it work if I buy that and already have the base game plus all the dlc except the taken king?

    The dlc is on a card, just redeem it and you will have TTK.

    Just came in to post about Destiny. Was 30 a couple of weeks back but had gone back up by the time I got into Smyths, so picked it up today when I seen it.

    30 euro is probably an OK price for the full game, eases the blow of paying 60 on release for a piece of a game.

    Despite having the crappiest story known to man Destiny is probably the best fps on the One. At least it isnt COD 56 Kitchen Borefare or Battlefield Flatline.

    Titanfall and Halo 5 are a bit better from a pure fps point of view imo, in terms of of PvE/co-op stuff Destiny is streets ahead though.

    Titanfall is great, bit diluted now because of COD: Advanced copying of Titanfall.

    Was really disappointed with Halo 5 myself, just doesn't feel like a Halo game should imo.

    Did you play much of the multiplayer? Was the best since Halo 2 I thought, really went back to its roots. Didn't think much of warzone though.

    Yeah. Dont think much of Warzone either. As for the main pvp, I didn't really like Halo 2 either.
    I thought the aim assist was ridiculously high in H2, which usually ended up hampering me a lot when encountering multiple opponents.

    Really enjoyed H3 and Reach. Thought 4 wasn't bad, but it was a poor choice to allow you to have a Battle Rifle and a DMR in your initial loadout.

    Oh come on... I just bough SW Battlefront on disk last Friday and now it's 50% off on the Xbox Store.
    Same price, but I don't want any physical discs.
    Is there any way going digital once you have the disc?

    Buy the game digitally and sell the disk.

    Can I just buy the digital one without uninstalling the disc based one? (need to keep the progress)

    All your save data is stored in the cloud so no problem with that.

    Yes. It works perfectly. When you buy the digital version you are buying the license which is checked as you launch the game. This saves you the hassle of having to download the digital copy.

    Which is why the Xbox One file system is better than the PS4. If you have a disc copy and then get a digital copy, say from it being on PS+, you need to uninstall the disc version before it will allow you to use or even install the digital version.

    Not trying to rag on the PS4 btw, both consoles have their strengths and weaknesses.

    Dark Souls 3 is down to £29.99 on The Game Collection until midnight.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 1,711 ✭✭✭JoyPad


    Is there a pattern to what comes on DWG?
    Son wants Fallout 4 and I see it was discounted in March as well as April.
    I see it's down to €39.99 in Argos, but would have preferred the digital download.

    I'm not sure, but Star Wars Battlefront was down to 35-39 EUR in both Argos and GameStop last week, then it went down to 35 EUR in DWG this week. So maybe... there's a pattern.

    It's really not that great to be honest.

    You might be as well picking up a second hand copy on Adverts for around €30 and selling on when he's done with it.
