Pretty sad when you got companies like M$ learning and having GOW4 mappacks 'n stuff be releasing for free. Battlefield started going backwards starting at BF3, they turned into COD with charging for maps and splitting the community and just being greedy bastards with no regards for the game's multiplayer longevity.
I do feel a lil bad for them, because on the PC side atleast, M$ locking the game as a Win10/Windows Store/UWP exclusive hurt sales. They should get something out of the Win7-8-10/DX11-12 compatible Steam launch next month though.
I just really hope that if they get amazing sales on Steam that greedy M$ takes note and launches GOW:UE and GOW4 on Steam. I really want to play Gears again, but refuse to buy GOW4 on Windows Store, especially after seeing how quickly UE died alr...
I love all the characters 'n Arcs they are including, it's just even the newest gameplay they showed wasn't too impressive. It reminds me that it's still an Omega Force musou, with the silly knock-back physics 'n all. They don't seem to ever be as capable with enemy AI either. The 3D Ninja Gaiden games had amazing combat and enemy AI was above average at the very least. Nioh looks very cool also.
I just feel with Omega Force behind the wheel, it'...
Too bad the new Berserk game wasn't developed by Team Ninja, rather than Omega Force.
Because online is paywalled behind it on PS4, so they don't need to provide quality PS+ content, as evidenced by the sh*t indie games that have come out nonstop as PS+ monthlies. I'm happy I built I gaming PC a few months ago, wasn't planning on renewing my PS+ when it runs out anyhow.
Atleast on Steam, you can download your games at a decent speed without installation issues, you have a large enough community buying multiplayer games for the playerpool to stay alive, there are awesome sales nonstop, overlays like Nvidia Shadowplay work without issue, there's actually a return policy, and you don't have the insane blockages and restrictions of UWP and Win10 exclusivity.
LOL, you couldn't be any more wrong. If the Windows Store had any footing, sure, that'd make sense. They came out the gates in a horrible state though, and were already in need to prove themselves after the disgusting GFWL. Instead, the Windows Store is just looked at as GFWL 2.0. M$ uses the Windows Store to force feed consumers Win10/UWP. It's the exact type of walled garden, crap ass store people rejected in the past and want nothing to do with on PC.
Any gam...
I'm still holding onto hope that Gears:UE and GOW4 will move to Steam. It might take for GOW4 to do bad on Windows Store first, before they decide to possibly move it to Steam. Though, I do feel they should move UE to Steam now, while some people are still interested and looking to possibly get warmed up for GOW4, since it's completely dead on the Windows Store.
It'd make so much more sense to release GOW4 at launch on Steam though, before any hype and interest ...
@PinkCrocodile75,
Here's a little education on the situation of the Windows Store, and why they should just drop it on Steam to save the game. http://www.howtogeek.com/24...
@Concertoine,
Exactly! LOL @ the downvotes, expected it on n4g. Simple minded kids.
If the store was anywhere near a respectable, functional store, with decent policies and had half the restrictions, then fine - make it exclusive like other Publishers do with 1st party games on their stores. That's not the case with the Windows Store though. Not only is it a nightmare, they're pushing Win10 exclusivity along with the UWP/Windows Store exclusivity. So that j...
Dunno, but the PC version doesn't stand a chance with competitive VS mode unless it pulls a Quantum Break and goes to Steam with Win7-8 support. It'll end up being a barren wasteland for competitive modes as a Win10/Windows Store/UWP exclusive. UE on PC is in it's grave right now for multiplayer, because everyone avoids the Windows Store like the plague.
The crossplay is only for co-op, so sadly, since M$ is stubbornly keeping this a Windows Store exclusive, before getting Windows Store/UWP in any type of proper working order - it's gonna go down the same path as UE on PC. Competitive Multiplayer will be dead in no time on PC. The only hope for Gears currently on PC is for M$ to have Gears follow suit with what they did recently with Quantum Break. Release Gears:UE and GOW4 on Steam with support for Win7/8 and possibly DX11.
<...
Actually, because it takes the playerbase out of the game just because it's on the Windows Store. The major reason Gears:UE is dead on PC already is because it's Windows Store/UWP/Win10 exclusive. If it were on Steam, people would find players in matchmaking immediately.
The PC version needs to follow suit of Quantum Break and go to Steam, also like QB adding Win7+8 and DX11 support. Same goes for Ultimate Edition, since it's already dead on PC because of Windows Store exclusivity and UWP.
Please let MS come to their senses and do the same with Gears of War: Ultimate Edition and Gears of War 4. No one wants to be forced to buy them on the Windows Store. Ultimate Edition is dead for multiplayer for this reason. Just release them on Steam, also allowing other OS's than Win10, like Quantum Break is doing. The playerpool would never been an issue for competitive mp. I don't want anything to do with the Windows Store, but I'd love to buy the game if it were on Steam, kno...
Well yeah, that ofcourse would be more ideal than a warriors game. I'm a lil less excited after this vid, it just reminds me that it's still just a Warriors game with Berserk skin.
I definitely got more hyped after seeing they'll have The Count in there.
Sometimes? The digital copies seem to ALWAYS be more than the physical copies. Plus they take forever to go down in price. Many times you'll find the digital copy of an AAA game still be full priced at $60 long after release, while the physical copy is under $15.
Also the fact that digital games seem to stay full priced forever, while physical copies can go down to 1/4 the price in no time.
M$ needs to release more games on Steam. Releasing as Win10/Windows Store/UWP exclusives isn't embracing anything. It's just forcing Win10 and an unwanted and severely bugged out and restricted storefront on folks. It's much worse for games that rely on multiplayer, which plays a big part in why UE is so new on PC yet completely dead for MP already.
They need to come to their senses like with Quantum Break and release these games on Steam with Win7-8/DX11 suppor...
