Much better than the original, now how about some content to fill the thing?

pangitkqb6049d ago

I hope Microsoft takes advantage of this

darkequitus6049d ago

Yes, it is a bit sparse and underused. I downloaded the last version and could not do much with it. I hope they do start putting more content on it.

raiden_936049d ago

I haven't used this before but then again I'm not a serious PC gamer. Is it like Steam?

darkequitus6049d ago

No even close, though it could be if they put it out there better and fill it with content

Pandamobile6049d ago

Steam is a content provider and much, much more. GFWL is pretty much Xbox Live on PC (so, sh1t).

No one likes GFWL. It's clunky, slow and downright annoying.

TheIneffableBob6049d ago

Which is disappointing because, since Microsoft has a huge amount of resources and influence, they could have made it something worth using.

Elven66049d ago

GFWL isn't that bad Panda, it was at one point but it has vastly improved since launch. The service is just...a mess.

1. Nothing is connected, meaning the ingame client can't communicate with the marketplace and vice versa.
2. You can't buy games on the marketplace, Microsoft alone has some great classic games that if put up on the marketplace would do great.
3. Not a lot of titles support GFWL
4. Microsoft doesn't make first party PC games anymore. =/

Pandamobile6049d ago

I know it's improved since its launch, but its still a horrible service even today. I've lost countless GTA IV save-games. I hated it in FO3, and I REALLY hated it in GOW.

It's so utterly useless..

DiffusionE6049d ago

GFWL is mostly useless in games, and in some cases, actually becomes a hindrance to the game. Microsoft shouldn't have made it if they were gonna shift their priorities to the 360 anyway. I hope it dies out soon, it's so annoying with little to no support from the creators.

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

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.

Jingsing44d 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.

Tanktopmaster9244d ago

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

S2Killinit44d ago

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

Jingsing44d 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.

Tanktopmaster9243d 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
