They need to fix that train wreck they call the Windows Store. You have to jump through so many hoops just to buy, download or reinstall games. And forget about installing games on another hard drive. I gave up after 2 hours of installing Gears 4 on my secondary drive.

n4rc3438d ago

Really? I don't really game on my PC but I got the free copy of Forza horizon.. was literally click, pick HDD to install to (as my SSD doesn't have room so secondary it had to be) and voila!

Razzer3438d ago

Same. I had no problem buying FH3 on windows

FITgamer3438d ago (Edited 3438d ago )

Downloads and installs do take forever from Win10 store. Easily 60%-70% slower than Steam.

PlayableGamez-3438d ago

It can be a cluttered messed at times. Especially with all of those other crappy apps.

mikeslemonade3438d ago

Compared to consoles window store is still better. The only issue is Dead Rising 4 is $80.

notachance3437d ago

I bought FH3 Ultimate Edition for the early access.. and end up having to REDOWNLOAD 5 TIMES because of their shitty preload problem, a problem which was shared between a whole lot of people

I ended up finishing the download by the time the regular version already dropped smh, never again

What hoops? Everything you typed suggest you actually don't know anything.

It literally asks you which drive you want to install on when you click install. Of course you do have to have a drive available with enough space though.

DarkZane3438d ago

It won't work on a drive that has the option "Compress this drive to save disk space" checked.

zerocarnage3438d ago

I felt more than a fanboy epic fail attack on Windows10 there, because it's simple and easy.

audiocafe3438d ago

I had the same issues earlier this year along with other things so left it alone after that. I recently tried it again in order to download the free copy of Gears 4 I had and they seem to have fixed the issue you're talking about. Also, slightly off topic but Gears 4 is well optimized on PC and it's much preferred IMO over the console version. Seriously if you have a good enough PC I highly recommend that version.

Wow, really interesting and will download it.

whitesoxfalife19763438d ago

Deep-throat3438d ago

You'll have to anyways...

MS should release The Master Chief collection, Halo 5, Forza Horzion 2 and Sunset Overdrive on the glorious platform.

maybelovehate3438d ago

It will part of the Creators update according to the rumors. Although to me that seems too soon. We will see.

zaherdab3438d ago

So they are trying to give more options to PC gamers and this article makes it seem like they are doing something evil ?

Perjoss3438d ago

I've been asking for something like this for years, but now that it actually might be happening I'm starting to think that Microsoft will almost certainly find a way to mess it up. I predict one of the biggest complaints will be directed at a horrible UI. I do hope I'm wrong though, as I said I've wanted a streamlined gaming version of windows for years now so I hope its really good.

SirBillyBones3437d ago

11 downvotes for an opinion. This site is dead to everyone but the trolls.

IanTH3437d ago (Edited 3437d ago )

If those 11 people don't agree with his opinion though, isn't that what the button is for? I've always viewed it as an agree/disagree button.

It isn't a fact/fiction button. Obviously there are trolls and obviously people can abuse the downvote button on very sensible comments (and even factually accurate comments). But I think people can get way too worked up about the up/down vote tallies. The meaningful part is if someone actually responds and what that interaction is like.

I certainly enjoy seeing a positive up/down vote ratio on my comments, but I also know sometimes people disagree with me (and those that disagree are more likely to click than those that agree) and I'm ok with that.

What has Microsoft messed up so badly in the near-past that makes you think they'll mess this up?
Since after the release on the XB1, and Win10, they have really got some of their reputation from consumers back, so this seems more misinformed than an opinion if you ask me..

rainslacker3437d ago

It's only been a few years, and the Win10 release shenanigans were mostly last year. What reputation are they gaining back?

Even if they gain something, they can never be content with not screwing it up somehow. They are perpetually taking one step forward, then falling flat on their face and sliding down the hill. They keep going because they're so entrenched in the market that there is really no other suitable choice.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio29d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing29d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9229d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit29d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing29d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9229d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse

To be fair, there are also human made games that release and lack any fun at all either.

jznrpg33d ago

But all of the great games have been made by humans

jwillj2k432d ago

One is by choice, the other is a feature.

PRIMORDUS33d ago

Guild Wars 2 been playing for 14yrs, 1st beta. This is just one company I support, Arenanet and NCSoft, even though I torrent, there are a few PC companies I will buy from. "PlayStation’s Horizon MMO spin-off, Horizon Steel Frontiers." I feel this will be good, NCSoft is a good developer/publisher.

CrimsonWing6932d ago

It’s a tool. Use it elevate things and get it done faster. I’m sorry but not every game made by humans is good. If this can help things, then I fully embrace it.
