I asked in the Warframe thread but thought I might find more people here.

Any XO gamers playing Warframe?

Free game for October is something called Chariot. (Replacing Super Time Force )

360 is getting Battlefield Bad Company 2 first, then Darksiders 2.

Nice! Love getting brand new titles for free. I played a level of Chariot at E3 with a developer and it was actually kind of fun.

I looked into it but I'm not really in the pay-to-play system they have.

I always like getting free games at launch -- so many Games with Gold games have been ones I've already purchased and played. Glad to hear this one was kind of fun.

I don't know if Xbox has this but the PS4 version has a starter pack that is free for Plus members. Gives players 200 plat to start with.

Also, fwiw, you don't have to spend any real $ to enjoy the game. You can experience pretty much everything it has to offer by just playing it and leveling up your starter frame, mods, etc. Check out the Warframe thread here on this forum for more info or if you have questions.

Was really hoping they'd give away Outlast for October.

Oh well, at least it's something new.

Ugh, I'd have been pissed if the only free game I got was the same free game I'd gotten last December from Sony.

So, SWERY (the director of D4 and Deadly Premonition) shared this on Twitter.
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=902813

TL;DR - D4 is not selling well. Like, less than 10,000 copies.

I know! I feel the same way!

If it doesn't do well enough, then we won't get a Season 2, which would be a crime against humanity. If you haven't bought it, you damn well should. It's only $15. What else are you going to spend that on? Bills? Groceries? Kitty litter?

I watched a little of the gameplay on Twitch last night. Not really my bag. This was developed in Japan but do we know if they also had a hand with the dialogue? I usually can't sand Japanese dialogue converted to English.

Probably didn't help that there wasnt much press or advertising for the game; and wasn't the release date announced just like 2 days before it came out?

Microsoft sent it out to die.

I wouldn't even have known if it was out without this thread. This one is definitely on MS.

Are any digital-only games selling at full price though? I haven't bought any this generation (except KI at launch). With the free games and big sales, I'm not buying any digital games at anything close to full price any more and I was one of the biggest consumers of XBLA for years. I just wonder if all of these games are seeing declining sales as a result.

And also the fact that a lot of us might be playing some little game called Destiny right about now.

D4 > Destiny.
According to reviews, anyway.

I just want to say you can easily put 300-400 hours into the game and never spend a dime. In fact, you can put 300 hours into the game and never even feel the need to spend a dime. It really is the most fair system for a free to play game EVER. If you are worried about the pay-to-play don't be. Check out the warframe thread, chess has put a lot of time into the game and has some good post in there.

Fiancee bought me an XBox One for my birthday today, so i'm finally next (current?) gen. She got Destiny with it, but I can get that game for $15 through work connections, so I'll probably exchange it for something else... maybe i'll go with NBA 2K next week. Shame she didn't pick one up a couple weeks ago so she could get the Madden bundle + another free game, but oh well. Yay, finally on board

Luckily, i've been collecting all the free Games with Gold freebies, so I have a small selection of stuff to play.

Add Fu Man Stan if I don't have you already from the 360!

Just realized I should get this credit, seems like it won't kick in until November though. Yay

Sounds like I shouldn't need to do anything special other then sign in to Live to get it. http://rewards.xbox.com/xboxone-offe...nd-conditions/
