Microsoft XBox 360/One 'Games With Gold' Discussion Thread

[kamakazi20012]

Maybe it's just my account having issues, but be careful of Black Flag.  It's not a bad game...it's actually a great game.  But the darn thing locked up on me the other night and I have not been able to get it to load under my profile on my 360.  It hangs at the title screen, system lock down and all.  The second disc works fine.  Already spent over 8 hours with XBOX support (twitter and on phone) trying to figure out what the heck is going on and how it can be fixed.  Everything has been done and went so far as to remove all files off my 360...as if I just bought the system.  The game still refuses to play after downloading my profile from XBOX.  Those planning on downloading AC IV do yourself a favor...back up your profile to a thumb drive or something.  I don't want to see anyone else go through what I'm going through.  I just thought I would pass it along to fellow gamers.  I was really enjoying that game, too, and maybe it can be fixed soon so I can play it again.  And I'm using a disc version from Wal-Mart...only a few days old.  New.

EDIT
Oh yea apparently the fixed something on their end. The Special Events in GoW:J are counting daily. Not sure if it will be permanent or not but it was supposed to run for a week at least.

GoW:J events are supposed to be unique IDs every day. With that being said, some IDs are being reused from previous events, so some days you may not gain a new ribbon, such as today for me.

Child of Light now active.

Not sure about Black Flag but Devils Cartel was fun.

Black Flag is the Best Assassin's Creed game.  Never played an Army of Two game, heard pretty good things.

Hmmm I want to play it but need to play AC 3 first. Of the 4 I have played Brotherhood was the best.

Try your very best to resist the urge to play AC3.  It is the worst AC game by a mile.  I would have to agree.  AC2 showed what the game could be and Vrotherhood took it to another level.  Brotherhood is def the best of the Ezio games.

I liked Army of Two DC. It's one of those games that you play through in a weekend and while you enjoy your time with it it's quickly forgettable.

@Tynstar: I agree with Bill. AC3 is terrible compared to the other games in the series. The payoff for completing the game is terrible compared to all that it asks you to do. The last mission bugged on me five times before I was able to finish it.

A game sucking or not doesnt factor in if I will play it or not. I have played the 4 before it so I want to play it. Plus the achievements.

I can't tell you how many times I've come close to grabbing a five dollar used copy of Mafia II. I think most of those times I just wasn't in the mood for an open world game at the time, which is great because now I can just download it and not have to own a physical copy! Yay!

[Disposed Hero]

I highly recommend Mafia II to anyone who hasn't played it.  Awesome game, and not your typical open-world sandbox game a la GTA.

[NeoMagicWarrior]

I'll be sure to remember who to hold responsible if it does not hold up! xD

In all seriousness, I'll eventually get to this one....but it is WAY low on the backlog list. I feel like Microsoft could have done better this month, especially with PS-Plus being a bunch of things you prob own elsewhere.
