Is witcher 2 not available for Irish users? If not are we getting a different free game?

Is anyone getting a page not found when searching for Xbox 360 games? I get the below, also no game listed for 360 on the "Games with Gold"

Ooops! What happened to this page?
We’ve moved some things around.

Apparently Purchase and Content Usage is limited on the 360 according to xbox live status.
I hope they sort things soon because I am kinda looking forward to playing The Witcher 2 tonight.

Been trying to get The Witcher 2 all day. Keep getting an error code. But xbox live and youtube, netflix etc work fine. Pssh.

Started D4 tonight, really enjoying it. A very welcome change of pace for me.

Was eager to play Witcher 2 for this weekend, with the Xbox Live issues atm... was left disappointed

What games are available on gold at the minute for 360, I'm thinking of giving it one more 12 month sub. Cheers

Is it twitcher 2?

If so I'm definitely in.

Yup witcher is what I meant alright.

My brother plays online a few of times a year so would be nice to have it for that.

The games will make it worth the money. 13 months on cdkeys is €37. Even if I only play 3 or 4 games from gold it'll have paid for itself.

Really like the look of witcher 2. Completely passed me by at release.

Don't pay 37, you can get it as low as 27. Check the other thread.

What other thread? I thought cdkeys was about as cheap as you'd get it.

Ask in the Xbox Live Subscription thread, they'll be able to point you in the right direction.

Will take a look at this one tonight. It does look a little odd alright.

I'm still trying to work out if Amanda

was really a cat he personified as a lookalike for his wife or if she was a nut with a weird cat fetish

I'm leaning to the former with the way

the detective picks her up at one point, and she;s sat on the TV later in the game

Either way he's tripping balls :pac:

That clover game took me ages to get the achievement out of.

Tip for those starting when it comes to fights / scenes with Amanda use the kinect, raise you left hand to swap to it, then hold B on the pad to change back afterwards.

Is there any way to replay those without starting the whole episode again?

Not as such but they can be got to pretty quicky on a second play through as you just skip all the dialogue, think I had most of the stuff I missed in around 2 hours with the exception of the clover mini game and the money but those 2 go hand in hand as there is an exploit to get the 100k you need for the achievement on the clover game.

Does D4 require Kinect to be able to play?

maximoose

No, you can play with the controller. I was using the controller, might give kinect a try next time.

Games With Gold for February announced.

On Xbox One: #IDARB

On Xbox 360: Brothers: A Tale Of Two Sons will be free for Xbox Live Gold members through February 15th. Then on February 16th, Sniper Elite V2 through February 28th.

Paid full price for Brothers when it came out and I'm glad I did.

CatInABox

I just remembered that they already announced #IDARB for February, but here's the 360 games too.

#IDARB ($14.99 ERP): Available from Feb. 1 – 28 on Xbox One

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons ($14.99 ERP): Available from Feb. 1 – 15 on Xbox 360

Sniper Elite V2 ($29.99 ERP): Available from Feb. 16 – 28 on Xbox 360

#IDARB looks mental.

I dunno. I actually like the look of it and reckon it could be a good bit of craic in a full party, particularly if you set up the hashbombs.

maybe I should book a doctors appointment in case I'm starting to lose it.....

RobertFoster

Phew, two games I've already finished. The backlog is safe for another while.

Reminds me of Bomberman, actually.

Playing too much Far Cry 4??

The way I see it, I pay for Gold as it is. Any free games are a bonus but then again I would like Ryse or Zoo Tycoon at some stage!

#IDARB looks perfect.................if you have ADHD

How will you cope?

Definitely disappointing when you see what Sony are doing with PS+.

But a brilliant game, and its got heart (if a game can have heart that is).

Mr Freeze

That IDARB looks like it could be a bit of fun.

Looking forward to giving it a go. Read somewhere it could be as addictive as bomberman live. Bomberman Live was class.

Comparing the relative merits of two similar competing paid services isn't exactly "complaining about free games".

But someone saying x game is rubbish or another month of crap on XBOX1 is complaining... There's been plenty of good games given away for free, hasn't there?

maximoose

PS+ hasn't exactly been great of late either tbh

Their PS3 offerings are better than GWG for 360, PS4 games have been meh.

I could count on one hand the number of good games on Xbox One that have been part of Games with Gold - there have been only two games with a Metacritic rating higher than 80 (Guacamelee and Super Time Force). And again, when put alongside what PS4 owners have had with Playstation +, there's a big disparity. Along with that, there have been 30 PS+ games for PS4 compared with 11 Games With Gold for Xbox One.
