Its very tempting.

Still technically unfinished they still haven't added elements missing from the game since launch like the Tank Bot which was promised after christmas that was required to access areas currently in the game and very obviously left in an unfinished state you could actually glitch your way to the dungeon before it was patched, now it's been leaked theres a definitive edition out shortly when the game has no DLC or anything, can't see them charging people who have the game anything for new content that should have been in the game from launch, that would just be a disaster.

As for the game itself I had fun with it but it's light on story and descends into a grind fest at the end. Without spoiling it too much you come to your destination and find a locked door that needs cores found in the world to open, grand. Back I come core in hand open door work my way through the area to find???? Yup another locked door needing more cores, repeat 4-5 times. Really kills the pace of the game unnecessarily.

The cores come from completing dungeons or some are buried and the dog can sniff them out and dig them up

Oh man let me tell you about 100% ing it , there are hundreds of collectibles that aren't marked on the map and at the time I played it some were bugged in that you couldn't see them at certain angles. Think they fixed all that not sure about adding them to the map. I must have swept one of the areas once a night for nearly 2 weeks looking for the handful I missed.

If it's sub 20 euro in the sale i'd say go for it. It's worth that much. I think it has a trial actually so you could play that on an alt account so you're not stuck with a game you'll never finish or play again on you're own tag

Not really, you can get half of them in the world rest in the dungeons, think they are rewards for completion, shoot hidden targets and finish under par time.

Microsoft really making the effort
Can't see Sony doing this (unless they have already??)

Top post on the PS4 subreddit is "Microsoft is now allowing refunds." "Please let's put the pressure on Sony to implement something like this" with 40k+ upvotes

Hi folks,

My Xbox live ran out yesterday. I'm trying to play Ryse offline but it won't let me. It keeps saying I need to renew my membership. Is it because I downloaded it with games with gold?

If you have already downloaded the game you own it and it shouldn't require Xbox live to run.

However, this was one of the launch titles on Xbox One which initially was supposed to be an "always connected console to run DRM"

The game might not work offline due to this. I'll check mine later in offline mode and post back here.

I thought gold was the same as ea access
I.e. If you don't keep up your subscription you lose access to games that were tied to that subscription like games with gold

Xbox One GWG require an active sub to play, nothing to do with DRM

FAILSAFE 00

They changed it unfortunately.

I just found a suggestion on the Xbox user voice website asking for Xbox to switch it back to owning the titles after a Games with Gold subscription expires.

It used to be you owned the title once you downloaded it on GWG.

maximoose

I think that's still the case for the BC Xbox 360 games anyway, you don't need a sub once you have "purchased" those through GWG

Nah, Xbox One GwG titles have always required an active Gold sub to play (similar to EA Access or one of the 'Free to Play with Gold' weekends).
Xbox 360 GwG games have always been, and continue to be, that when you 'purchase' the game that you get to keep it also.

Can you not use your MS account balance to purchase gold subs?

No and it's very annoying as I've 80 euro in it and gold expires Monday

Also could not be used to buy blackops2 for DLC for it

Great. Went all the way into town exactly for that reason

You can get Gold from CD Keys for around €35. Why would you give Microsoft €60 for the same thing? It makes absolutely no sense.

Keep your credit for a game you want/see something in a sale and save yourself €20-€25 on Gold.

Just wondering what ye are using with regards to rechargeable batteries. Want to go in to town today to buy something decent.

This thing seems to EAT them and I'm not even gaming on it.

I use high capacity (2100mah) Energizer's myself for years with no problems. A lot of people recommend Panasonic's Eneloops tho so I will try them next.

I didn't know that. Pretty sneaky especially if they are still saying you're getting $$$ in free games. I know you've said it's like that from day one but it's a different service from the one people signed up to originally on the 360.

I don't understand how you can say it's sneaky? It clearly states that an active Live Subscription is required to maintain access to your Gold games.

Bought an energiser set in Argos last year and their good.I bought the Tronic rechargeable batteries in Lidl as well last September and I think they are even better. Keep and eye out, their worth picking up for spares anyway.

Heard that the Eneloops from Panasonic are great as well.

I've heard that some models of rechargeable batteries in IKEA may be unbranded eneloops in disguise (It was on a BA thread a while back)
