October's Games with Gold is hilariously bad

So you get The Walking Dead on both systems, and not even the second season, a worse version of a game they just gave away, and a meh Ubisoft game.

I'll use my free 30 days later.

No extra cost? I'm in... great stuff MS, keep'em coming.

Valiant Hearts is superb, you silly cow.

Better than the crap PS+ gives away.

actually, it doesn't look too bad....

I might download Ground zeros to see what the hype is about.

I think it came with PSN+ earlier?

At least Xbox Gold users on the 360 can get the Demo for Phantom Pain for Free.

Valiant Hearts is a good game. Cow says moo.

@Bigboi500: game's boring, it's a visual novel without any interesting gameplay to back it up. I love the facts and history behind it but it's so boring to actually play.

Dunno, I bought it when it came out. Not only do you get a great story with the game, you get a rich history of The Great War!

I dunno, Valiant Hearts is a lot better than Shit Raider.

Makes this "leak" hilarious in retrospect though.

Going back to three games a month is a dick move though. #BetterXBL

Only post 4? Reflexive lem saltiness is getting slow.

Can't really argue with you there... but I'm a sucker for sob stories like those.

@bigkingcheese: Nah, I don´t think so, with the exception of Vita I own every PoS system available so that hardly qualifies me as a lem, try later champ.

That isn't hilariously bad. People will like this. Please pull your head out of your arse.

Damn, that sucks. What a crap lineup.

Hopefully PS Plus is better (already is with Super Meat Boy).

huh, MGS again? that was last months free game..

Anyways, Seems to me MS doesnt even want to give us free games. they're basically just going along with it because sony is doing it.

Lem confirmed.

They have not been announed yet. Where is the source?

If it is true, it does not look too good.

@the-a-baum: they were just announced

Wasn't Telltale's The Walking Dead getting GOTY nominations when it came out?

This.

What are you babbling about OP?

Well good thing I am 4 games back logged.

I already have both but for people who never tried either, especially The Walking Dead, I would day this is a pretty good month, I'm definitely telling a few of my friends who I think will enjoy TWD.

October will be no good for me as I've played all of them.

It did, never tried it.

They are all awesome games, what are you talking about?

You should be cursed to play nothing but Assassin's Creed rehashes for the rest of time for saying that. Valiant Hearts is a special game.

I put it my my game list, but havent tried it yet.

Nothing for me

It sure did, along with Apotheon and Ground Zeroes, it's been one of the best free games :)

Underwhelming. If this is the month Super Meat Boy shows up, PS+ rides away with it on that alone.

Valiant Hearts is brilliant, but man, that lineup is weeeeeeaksauce.

PS+ still bitch slaps GwG.

other than Valiant Hearts, October GwG does indeed seem bad, especially since they just gave away Ground Zeroes on Xbox One, now they're giving away Walking Dead on both systems which I already have on both Xbox 360/One

This is really lousy. Nothing for me once again.

Oh shit, I hadn't noticed that Walking Dead on Xbone is until November 15th as well. So it's going to be three games again in November. Hahahahaha!

It's not so bad for people who haven't played these titles. Are we really going to start bitching about games we're getting for free?

Yeah that's pretty bad.

probably the worst month yet...and that is saying a lot

PS+ and GWG keep adding the same titles too, sucks for people with both

I haven't played either of these so not a bad month for me.

All of those games are quite good, IMO. What is bizarre is that all three of them were previously PS+ titles this year.

I'm curious why this is so bad- August last year we got Strike Suit Zero and Crimson Dragon, in May we got Castlestorm. Those were the worst months of all time.

And I'd take Valiant Hearts and the Walking Dead over Chariot, Volgar the Viking, Worms Battlegrounds, Pool Nation, Massive Chalice, and How to Survive.

@Blabadon: Lol are you serious? Walking Dead & especially Valiant Hearts are brilliant games. Valiant Hearts was close to being my GOTY for that year.

Geez some people are too damn hard to please.

The second season would have been great, because I haven't played it. Might grab Valiant Hearts.

These games are only considered "bad" in this place when GwG offers them, it's not hard to tell the bias. I think it's common knowledge that these games will likely go back and forth and made available for each systems at any given time. Anyway since the Walking Dead TV show is coming back in October, it's just fitting that the game is made available for the month. Since the 360 GwG is still being acknowledged, then we have to acknowledge the fact you get ownership for all 360 GwG games you get, you can never say that about the PS3 offerings. And with them announcing backward compatibility for these upcoming 360 GwG games, just makes them even sweeter, there's no PS3 backward compatibility with the PS4. Also I wonder what other full game will they offer you to play for the weekend this month at no extra cost. Xbox gives you extra rental type full games and movies to rent for free at no extra cost along side the GwG offerings, while you need to pay for another subscription (PSNow) on top of the subscription you're already paying for (PS+) to gain access to these rental type offerings.

I imagine if one of these "freebie" deals was negotiated by MS/SOny, the other side could easily enough get the same deal?

I don't realy know how it works, just guessing :P

Dirty little secret: "free" games are only as good as the library of the console. In Xbox One/PS4's case, non-existent.

lol anything that isn't steam or gog.

Valiant Hearts is a damn good game. OP, why you do 'dis?
