XBL has always supported indies since early 360 days with XBLA and the dedicated INDIE section in the XB 360 store. Just because a handful of people say something on this site, doesn't actually mean reality. Reality is nobody really cares what people say on this site. Its only really a few hardcore fans that go back and forth arguing about every topic in every article. Willing to be some of these people also have multiple accounts to make it seem like more people have the same idea.

TheColbertinator3404d ago

Nah I'm just joking. Not a fan of indies personally

DARK_WOLF3404d ago

Trekster_Gamer3404d ago

A lot of fun games on this list!

TGGJustin3404d ago (Edited 3404d ago )

Escapists is ok. Don't care much for the others.

YinYangGaming3404d ago (Edited 3404d ago )

Lol I've played and own 2 of the 4 games on this list so it's NOT a good month for me, they're FUN games though. I never said they were amazing or anything. Take your fanboy arguments elsewhere. Damn, fanboys always starting arguments because I said they were fun games, laughing so hard at those people right now.

TGGJustin3404d ago (Edited 3404d ago )

Uh huh sure.

trooper_3404d ago

He doesn't call himself YinYang for no reason.

christocolus3404d ago (Edited 3403d ago )

I haven't played any of these games before and I always wanted to try out Escapist and I am alive. So its an ok month for me..also I got a huge back catalaogue of unplayed games including Recore and Destiny:ROI, my digital copy of FH3 unlocks next week and GOW4, BF1,
Mafia 3 and TF2 all next month. My wallet will cry. Glad I got a 4TB ext HDD though.

@Rimes.......

Lol wut? I'm sorry Rime. You clearly have me mistaken for someone else cos unlike you I don't talk BS or go trolling in every article just to feel good about myself, so why not go look for someone else to stalk/ troll ok? I'm pretty much ok with these months offerings can't speak for others, though..... It's my opinion.it's the way it is........ so deal with it.

@Sd11

Yeah..I'm looking forward to both...

@Abdzine

Cry me a river bro. I don't know if your constant trolling or stalking will suddenly make mechange my opinion or statement. Lol.you guys are hilarious and pathetic.It's my opinion or maybe you didn't hear me clearly the first time. "I am ok with this month's offerings" and I do not give a damn what you or your kind think.......Deal with it. damn its like I'm dealing with little kids.

Rimeskeem3404d ago (Edited 3404d ago )

I am certain if PS gave these games on + you would be shitting all over it.

conanlifts3404d ago

Escapist and i am alive look interesting.

bouzebbal3403d ago

"I got a huge back catalaogue of unplayed games including Recore and Destiny:ROI"
what's this huge catalogue like when 2 games you quote out of this catalogue aren't even good?
the catalogue will become so much bigger with this month's offering.

Gazondaily3403d ago (Edited 3403d ago )

Would have preferred the last MLB2K instead of that garbage Mega Baseball , everything else is ok

3404d ago
DeeBeers3404d ago

already own SMBaseball but the game is a blast and good local play fare. I have been eyeing The Escapist so im glad it comes free. Looks kinda pokemon-red-ish.

StormLegend3404d ago

Why does the games come out a different time of the month? Why not just one day and be done like PS?

XMarkstheSpot3404d ago

Like I stated in another articleproably to keep you excited throuyghout he month that youll get free games instead of blowing your load all at once. You don't really need them all at once, you get 2 games play them for 2 weeks get another 2 games

StormLegend3404d ago

You do need them all at once, what if you don't want that game? You might wanna play "I Am Alive" first and not care for the other games.

XMarkstheSpot3404d ago (Edited 3404d ago )

There are other games to play other then free games assuming you don't just have a sub for the free games. Just play something else if this isn't your month, its as easy as that. Not every offering is always going to be a must play, these are free games after all so be grateful your getting any in the first place. Personally I don't really play any of the free games that much anyways cause they either don't interest me or I buy them with cash closer to release then wait a year or more hoping for a GwG version. I personally (IMO) kind of wish these programs were never around, the money used on this (trigger warning) "gaming welfare" could be better spent on a new studio or new IP or help with existing IP, I'm assuming this cant be cheap to get millions of ppl to download a game for free. I never had a problem buying my own games, well at least since I you know got a job and started paying for my own things

3404d ago
TFJWM3404d ago

@Ciporta1980 You will get 6 games just not 8 with a 1 month sub

LoveSpuds3403d ago

It has nothing to do at all with maintaining interest in the games with gold promotion throughout the month. I has everything to do with only having to pay for two weeks worth of availability for each of the titles.

SilverDemon3404d ago

So people who would have their gold expired during this month wont get the free games

Ps plus requires you to keep the subscription in order to play the game

game4funz3404d ago

Exactly. With games with gold you keep your games.

RiPPn3404d ago

@game4funz: You only get to keep 360 games, Xbox One games get revoked just like PS+.

StormLegend3404d ago

That's pretty messed up, if my gold subscription goes into this month then I should expect my free games.
At least on PS when your PS+ expires you can keep the games forever and just play them once you buy a new card.

sourav933404d ago

For Xbox One games, XBL Gold is required to play your free games. I found out about this first hand last month when my Gold expired.

conanlifts3404d ago (Edited 3404d ago )

Maybe to force people to at least buy a month long subscription for gold instead of just using the 7 or 14 day free trial?

Rockstar launches official marketplace for mods

Rockstar has launched an official marketplace for "every server and every player" to buy mods: Cfx Marketplace.

Christopher2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

I wonder how much of this isn't just taken work of others who have modded for free.

Edit: Also, great way for R* to take popular ideas and build them into GTAVI based on demand.

fr0sty8h ago

What I see happening here is, R* is going to ban mods in GTA6 UNLESS you buy them from the marketplace and R* then gets a cut of that sale.

ActualWhiteMan11h ago

Ah, perfect timing with them taking down the Bully online fan mod. Greedy a$$ company.

Christopher9h ago

It's okay as long as they get a cut of the money.

fr0sty8h ago

Expect R* to force it on you.

Snookies123h ago

Yep, right there with you. I'll happily donate to a mod creator if it looks really cool, or if I enjoy it. But expecting payment up front? Nope, not touching it.

IanTH8h ago(Edited 8h ago)

I'm not entirely sure how to read this, as it doesn't seem exactly like an exact parallel to Bethesda's paid mods shenanigans.

Rather than single player stuff, this appears to be aimed solely on Cfx Servers. From what I've gleaned, apparently Rockstar bought the Cfx mod team several years ago, coming a few years after weird contentions led them to ban a few of their members. Ultimately, the question is if they plan to keep this contained to only online/servers.

I have to guess to a degree yes. It'd be pretty hard to "force" paid mods for single player when modding files locally on your own machine, but much easier for servers they'll control. So perhaps this is their soft launch ahead of GTA6 online and they'll clamp down more tightly on non-official servers going forward? Ever since they've become a 1 or 2 property studio, I haven't really cared much for Rockstar stuff, so I'm not entirely up on everything surrounding this. Sounds like it has the potential to be problematic further down the line, but right now fairly easy to ignore...I think lol.

MrDead10h ago(Edited 10h ago)

Kotick Made $155 million from MS in the buyout, the little b*tch needs to stop whining. Thanks to this Microslop deal and massive industry consolidation thousands upon thousands of devs and other workers lost their livelihoods. This greedy piggie pervert needs shut up and f-off.
