Well, this got interesting:
December Games With Gold - features first OG Xbox BC game (Mercenaries)
- Thread starter Akai
- Start date
Terrible month for me. Mercenaries and Dragon age 2 are okay but the other games are based my cup of tea.
MERCENARIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES.
Your fecking name is Mercenary and you don't even know the glory of Mercenaries. You bring shame upon yourself. Two-bit mercenary more like it, I says.

I own Never Alone and QUBE 2 but the former is an excellent (if short) adventure, and the latter is probably the best Portal-like first person puzzle game not made by Valve. Dragon Age II comes in handy, I think that's the only game of the franchise I don't own. And excellent to see Xbox OG games pop up on the service too, especially considering those look quite a lot better than they did back in the day, especially on the X (4K yo).
Never got around to playing Mercenaries and almost bought it a few months back, and it'll also be nice to have Dragon Age II digitally. It's not a great game, but better than its reputation suggests.
I mean no one asked for these super old original Xbox games in place of our 360 ones we were promised. Throw it in as a bonus if anything. The entire lineup this month is mediocre.
Yeah, since MS went in hard on Gamepass GWG has been getting worse. OG Xbox games are not something I'm interested in revisiting.
I agree. GwG has gotten worse over time. I can't think of a shittier month tbh.
People saying this is a bad month and spinning that getting a og Xbox game is a bad thing are pathetic trolls.
Mercenaries should excite me, but that's one of the few XB Classics I have already picked up. Ah well.
I wonder if you can keep them permanently after your Gold subscription has expired, similar to XB360 Gold titles.

Game Pass in December is pretty stacked. Hellblade, Ori and the Blind Forrest, Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden (at launch), Kingdom Two Crowns (at launch), and it hasn't been announced yet (because it's likely being included with the Winter of Arcade announcement at the Game Awards), but Ashen is coming in December as well (again, at launch). There is also an outside chance another of the Winter of Arcade games will launch in December and on Game Pass, but we'll see.
Um the only pathetic thing here is you attacking our opinion. No one asked for them to replace a 360 title with an old OG Xbox game. Do like Sony with their VR titles and offer it as a bonus if anything. Not only that but the Xbox One lineup is a joke. GWG has been terrible for the most part for well over a year now so not a surprise. Every once in awhile they have a good month but it's rare anymore.
Yes, it's actually pretty neat. I subbed just for a month when I first got my XB1 and got Vanquish and Sega and Sonic racing.
It's the same thing every month, people always expect AAA. Can't understand there are plenty of good indies games. GWG will have bad games, but a lot of times people are just thrashing on game they never heard about or just on a genre they won't play.
Never Alone is a pretty cool platform/puzzler, so please play that! Otherwise pretty boring month for me. Will try out Mercenaries though!
Yes you keep them permanently. OG Xbox games are on the same storefront as Xbox 360.
Basically if we aint getting Witcher 3 and Black Ops 4 with MCC in next months GWG it's trash. Is what I'm seeing lol.
Personal opinion is fine but when the games are widely praised it does come off as a bit drive by ish and instigating.
Glad I never brought it when Mercenaries was announced for BC.
Have no problem them offering OG Xbox games Instead of 2 Xbox 360 games though they must be running out of games they can easily get before starting to repeat old 360 game.
That said pretty poor on the Xbox One side of games (QUBE 2 have wanted to play though).

So the big AAA Games go in Game Pass and the smaller cheap ones in GwG? Hm, i don't like that. So arrogant Sony, show us more love for christmas!
I haven't played mercenaries and I always thought never alone seemed interesting so this is a good month for me.
It's not bad at all. It isn't as grand in scale as dragon age and it really suffers from reusing environments but the characters and story are very good and it is way better than inquisition.
