Truth is a service like GWG will never be a huge highlight for me personally. I buy games I'm interested in before they'd ever get close to being offered for free. Best I can get out of it is some easy chievos now and again. I'm much more interested in weekly sales


But I believe there's some games you might be slightly interested in that, given they hit GWG, you'd definitively try, amirite?

Sure, every once in a while it can happen, like with D4, but it has to be something I'm incredibly hesitant to buy for whatever reason, because usually if I'm at least somewhat interested in a game I'll just pick it up on sale.

I also never really understood all this hype for these games when it started on PS3. When they are free they are also already available pretty cheap somewhere else. If you didn't buy these games even for that cheap price it means these games can't be really important for you in my opinion.

Not everyone likes to buy games though, so its good for them.

PS3 yeah but with PS4 it is different.  Resogun/Don't starve/Velocity/Outlast/Isaac Rebirth/Swapper/Apotheon/Stick it to the man/Olli Olli 2/Dead Nation and others were giving away with PS plus before you could buy them :s.

Eh, it's not really like that for me. I've got a bad habit about spending almost all of my gaming budget on new games. However, I have a very limited gaming budget, so there are more new games that I'm interested in than I can afford to buy at release. So I often find that when games that I wanted to play at release but couldn't afford to buy are on sale, I don't even have the money to buy them then, even if they're only like $10. So GWG has proved pretty useful for me so far, Sleeping Dogs, Rayman Legends, Dishonored,  Dust: An Elysian Tale, Saints Row 3, Witcher 2, Bioshock Infinite, D4, Worms Battlegrounds, all good games that I might never have played had they not been on GWG.

Yeah ok but some act as if the games are worth hundreds of bucks for them. Like "last year I got games for 3000 bucks for only 50 Dollars" and stuff like that. As if you couldn't get them much cheaper on the market and as if the "real worth" of these games for someone is really that high. They would have chosen these games to buy then and not other games they prefered above them. 

When I get a humble bundle for 5 bucks I also don't feel as if I have made the best decision of my life^^

Well not everybody can afford every game they want to play. Doesn't mean they don't deserve to play them.

I buy my games because I can. But not everyone is wealthy.



Looks like I'll be playing Gears of war Judgement after all.



Holy shit Angelus, I just bust out this laugh in my school library over that gif xD

Perfect reaction.

Really happy they give Child of Light. Some of my friends didn't want to buy the game unless it was 5$... now they'll be able to get it for free.3 of the best 2D games in about one month only Rayman Legends, Ori and now Child of Light. Contrary to some, I'm really glad of this month's offer.

I'd give Xbox One a mere 7 overall. 360 is till better imo but we know that with time it'll get better. We also have to wait for the big guns as it's still early in the gen.

I have spend some time with PS4 lately because most of my friends went with Sony this time and I don't think X1 has much to envy. Will be playing Bloodborne this weekend but I don't expect much since I'm not really into Souls games. I think for me to really like this gen, I need the high profile sci-fi games. When Halo, Mass Effect, SW Battlefront and TF2 release then I'll be a happy gamer, until then I'm not impressed compared to 360.
