I've been wanting to reply to this thread but hesitated because I'd get avatar quoted and laughed at but then realized who gives a shit? I can damn well share my opinion freely so here it is... BEST GAMING NEWS IN MONTHS!!! I had lost hope with how crappy the past couple years have been with remasters and remakes and my PS4 collecting multiple layers of dust and my PC....holy crap I don't eve wanna open the case to see what it's in there. Getting to the point...I've always been a fan of GFWL. I preferred it over Steam, Origin, Uplay. I liked the overlay, the integration with xbox live in case I ever bought the new xbox, the light client, how it's not really open when you play, the better achievements, the fact that it's not associated with fanboys of the worst order, the 360 controller being integrated, not having to navigate through a bloated client, the whole shebang. Never had an issue with it either (many many others can say the same) so when it was discontinued with no further game support i was bummed. When the Win10 store was announced I was excited but no stinkin games were being released on it. Fast forward to today and the best exclusives on consoles are now going to Win10. I can't get into 95% of japanese games so my PS4 is a dust collector...well not really, I use it for netflix a few times a week but in terms of games ughhh so I've always been envious of MS western exclusives and now here we are, they're hitting PC and NOT ON STEAM. I couldn't be more happier. I don't give a shit about mods or editing exe files. Mods cheapen the experience for me...like Fallout mods for example. Fixing Dark Souls and those other games wasn't modding, it was fixing broke ass games. Hopefully we won't see too many of them on the Win10 store. I SERIOUSLY doubt we will...Remedy and MS are working on QB themselves. It's not some new PC japanese developer like Dark Souls. I believe the Forza games, Fable, Sea of Thieves, Scalebound, Gears, Halo MCC and all other big Win10 exclusives will have the same top quality ports. That's my prediction. We won't have need for any ridiculous resolution fixes and whatnot. All of this will be on a nice closed cheat-free experience with full Win10+XBL integration. I couldn't be happier. I'm legit upgrading my PC b/c of this. It could run min specs on these games but a few hundred bucks and I'm golden. Best gaming news in a long ass time.
e: I sincerely hope MS doesn't listen to this thread and puts them on Steam instead. Keep em on Win10...grow your store, gain good faith from customers and your efforts will be rewarded.
