Games with Gold

Delighted with Forza. Loved the 2nd one but never played the first one. Sets it up lovely for 3 getting released at the end of September!

Nice. Assassins creed chronicles looks decent too for a short stint.

Think I'm all set until black Friday now. So many games, so little time.

Forza 6 is currently free to play. Go to the gold tab and you should see it there

Another great month.
I would love to have the time to play all the games!

Enjoy motion sickness in the comfort of your own home!

happy with forza and Earthlock though.

I think it's a great game
Originality shouldn't be frowned upon!
Interesting to see how it performs on backwards comparability.

Stone is saying that M.E. gives some people motion sickness.

I get it playing M.E. after about 5 minutes. It's a horrible feeling.

Really!? Fair enough although I didn't experience it.
They had better not make an rift version so

Yeah, it wrecks me, and its the only game that it happens me on. took me a while to figure out what was up, I thought I was coming down with a bug.

Is it the FOV that causes it I wonder? People were having the same issue with NMS due to the narrow FOV.

Don't think it's that. I played ME when it came out and finished it no problem without feeling sick.

In NMS I feel sick almost straight away with the narrow FOV.

I think the problem in ME is that the movement is more realistic but the frame rate varies alot. Does not effect me but some people feel it.

You want to know whats weird?
Anytime I would play Medal of Honour back int he day, I would get motion sickness and a migraine.
I dont know why, i thought it was me just playing too long but it only ever happened with Medal of Honour.
Any other game and I would be fine, it was a shame because I liked that game and never got a chance to finish it

Sorry if off-topic but here's an ever weirder one.

Anyone remember a PC platformer call Jazz Jackrabbit 2? Released way back in 98.
Well it used to give me a bursting headache as a child, even to the extend I'd get sick.
The one and only game I can ever remember having that effect.

I think watching someone else playing it makes it even more of a huey fest. It does look awesome though.

Nope. The problem is that your body expects the motion, because of the visual input, and there's none.

I have the Samsung Gear VR, using it with the Galaxy S6, and you get sick in less than 2 minutes watching the Game of Thrones opening credits video.

It depends on the person, really. Some experience it worse than others, I have the Gear VR and Oculus Rift and it's rare enough that I'd feel ill, usually only in prolonged cases of extreme motion like Mirrors Edge, a very fast rollercoaster, etc.

A few reports of that on Reddit alright. They ended up getting it through the Xbox itself.

Seems to be a region setting issue, I get an 80150017 error on the 360, region etc are fine.

Couldn't redeem a code myself. Are many havings issues? Any fix for this?

SuperS54

I'm in a different region, this is the standard region locked message so could well be that. Usually can VPN around it although MS have cracked down on all the popular VPN's, will try later.

SuperS54

Looks like MS are having some issues with this one;

Got a working VPN and managed to "purchase" Mirrors Edge today.
