Don't forget to upgrade to windows 10! It's free
You'll have access to
>ReCore on PC
>Gears on PC
>Killer Instinct on PC
>New Rare game on PC
>Halo Wars on PC
and possibly many more
MS was nice enough to get your free upgrade for a year but that's ending soon. Don't delay!
Too bad Win 10 runs like shit.

Where's the remastered GoW on PC? What the fuck are they doing?
>>322625274
No thank you, I prefer it be ME who controls what the computer does and does not run.
Not the OS.
But you go ahead and enjoy your forced updates and telemetry, and your photoDNA.
>>322625274
Don't forget that there are already utilities which make Win7 64bit compatible with DX12.
>>322625697
Did someone say "Best OS"?
>>322626160
>What the fuck are they doing?
They probably want to do pic related and bring everything over at once to jump start GFWL 2.0
If it's successful I imagine we'll see halo or forze for afee
>>322626282
Of course, because I would love to play a game that crashes every 10 seconds, why not?
>>322625608
Did you not see the "lower is better" part?
>>322626383
HAHAHAHAHAHA no fucking wayit's to be expected though, Steam is next
>>322626401
It actually works flawlessly and utilizes official DX12 binaries, but thanks for your input on the subject.
>>322626383
It won't be successful when all the other clients on PC, like Origin and Steam, are completely free to use it's online features. That idea will die before being implemented. It only works on consoles because it's forced on every game and people don't have a choice.
>>322626282
Anything that'd make DX10 - DX12 run on win xp?
>>322625274
You also get access to
>free spyware and honeypots
>>322626770
But you do have the choice of not playing multiplayer.
Just like console paid online, pc paid online will work because your games are tied to accounts. Do you really think people will just switch to origin if valve added a sub service to steam? They would lose all their games and ea could never get that many titles re-released on origin. Never mind the fact you would have to pay for them again.
Valve has such a powerful monopoly that anything they do can and will work.
>>322625445
this baka desu senpai
>>322625274
Fuck off back to the PS4 weeb
>>322626770
Well they said they're seeing HOW they can get people to pay for subs.
The fact that they're thinking means they know paid online is off the table.
>>322625274
I don't want the gubmint to see the lewds of my waifu i have saved
>>322625274
>upgrade to a shit OS to play garbage games nobody likes
>>322627042
>Do you really think people will just switch to origin if valve added a sub service to steam?
I'd switch straight to DRMfree and having NO "online service".
>>322627042
But then you have to consider something crucial, people on PC can just set up dedicated servers to play any games, a subscription for online games wouldn't work for most online games on Steam because they natively support dedicated servers, and the ones that don't can be modded to be able to. Besides Valve already said several times they have no intention of ever charging for online play.
>>322627363
You say this now, but you wouldn't if that meant losing thousands of dollars worth of games and never being able to play them again.
>>322625274
Touko pornwhen?z.z.
>>322627042
Opening yourself up to competition when you have a stranglehold on the market is not a sound long-term business plan. Steam is already printing money. Not to mention Valve has no control over multiplayer in anyone's games except their own, which are also printing money.
And if you are suggesting people pay a subscription to access the Steam games they have already paid for, I'm pretty sure that would be illegal in multiple countries.
>>322625274
>Still not halo 3
How about fuck off?
>>322627837
So what do you think MS is up to?
Why aren't you updating to me Anon?
I'm even giving you myself free unlike that whore 7.
If you keep delaying the update I will make it mandatory you know.
>>322625274
Explain this shit OP
>>322628414
thats kinda hot
you can't trick me, I'm not abandoning my waifu.
>>322628414
>I'm even giving you myself free unlike that whore 7
I can pirate 7 and activate it just fine you know, I can even get a free license to you that way.
>>322628218
Shoving their heads up their ass as per usual.
>>322625274
Shit..goodbye windows 7...it was good while it lasted.
>>322627493
No you can't. Also generally illegal and always violating eula.
>>322627837
Google market power. Valve can force paid online if it wants to and is perfectly legal. Software licenses don't include multiplayer functionality, see online passes.
>>322625365
It literally outperforms 7 and 8 in a lot of games by a decent margin.
WDDM2.0 really smoothed out GTAV.
>>322625445
Which one's?
Illusion, Kiss and Teatime games work fine.
>>322629467
I'm sure you have some benchmarks supporting your claim, correct?
>>322625818
I installed 10 a few months back and I haven't gotten any problems on "Obscure Japanese porn" games
>>322629701
No I'm in bed, youtube has some though.
It ntoiced it immediatelt when I switched to W10 because I wanted to test if GTAV would even run.
I was surprised that not only did it feel smoother but the video settings reset, meaning I was actually playing on higher settings than before.
I tested the framerate after that, it wasnt as big of an improvement as I thought, however the "microstutter" I experienced before I upgraded was completely eliminated and I was getting 4+fps on average in rainy LS and this was with shadows and detail one notch higher.
Its not worth upgrading over but it is an improvement I'm glad to have.
>>322629701
Not him but I upgraded from 8.1 to 10 last week and noticed an increase in performance (up to 10 fps more with same settings) for most of my games, to name a few I tested: Witcher 3, GTA V, MGSV and Project Cars. Though if that could be consequence of a freash install or because I just installed a new SSD on my system I cannot tell.
So which version of Windows 10 let's you completely disable all the telemetry bullshit?
Is it the Pro edition now?
>>322629323
I said access to the games they already paid for, not multiplayer for them. And again, Valve does not control multiplayer for the huge majority of games they sell on Steam, nor would it be in their interest to bother themselves with such a feat. They can't "force" anything without first negotiating with every publisher with whom they do business.
>>322630016
You usually don't have problems with games you don't play.
>>322631082
Is there even one? Microsoft is pushing their spyware pretty hard.
>>322631082
None, a new update changed how it works, Microsoft claims they're getting less data now (ergo no audio files are being sent anymore) but you're unable to totally disable the telemetry.
>>322631082
I want to know the answer to this too before I make the jump
>>322631164
But you already have access to multiplayer in games paid for. I only used online passes as an example that a software license does not grant you unconditional use, hence they can also add a subscription service to using steam as a medium for online gaming. Valve can do whatever it wants. Have you read their eula recently? They continue to make illegal changes and nobody can oppose them without losing their games. Remember paid mods? Valve is not your friend, they're just a company like everyone else.
>>322625274
Thanks but no thanks I'm sticking with Windows 7
>>322630983
I upgraded without reinstalling and GTAV definitely ran better.
Also contrary to what your dad told you, installing games doesn't slow down the computer.
>>322631082
Why does it matter?
If you have steam installed you're already allowing telemetry.
>>322631472
>Also contrary to what your dad told you, installing games doesn't slow down the computer.
What the fuck are you even on about?
>Halo Wars
>Not an actual Halo game
Try again bitch.
>>322631308
There isn't one. You have to get third-party software like Peerblocker to block it.
>>322631592
There's a hot meme about how dads used to tell you that installing games slows down the computer.
My dad did when I was a kid, I guess yours didn't.
Windows 8 works well for me, but I don't recommend it. I just have had no problem with games and stuff. I have to use a program though just to have a normal fucking desktop. I wish I had 7 though I'm too lazy to downgrade. No way I'm going to 10.
>>322631452
Not the other guy but Valve definitely can't force paid multiplayer for most of their games primarly because those game multiplayer servers are not owned neither managed by Valve in any way.
>>322631452
Valve is already being hit by a smattering of lawsuits for various things. A sweeping change such as locking everyone off from their games if they don't pay a fee would piss enough people off to form at least one class action lawsuit. Only a company run by idiots would open themselves up not only to a massive lawsuit where they could lose a ton of money, but also to one which could change how software licensing law works as a result. It's in their interest to keep software law as a sort of wild west because they can continue to make micro-infringements without much notice.
I'm the last one that would suggest Valve is anyone's friend, but they aren't stupid.
>>322631592

There will be plenty of really old games that wont get a fix, like dungeon seige for instance. Guess if you want to play your obscure vaporware your out of luck gramps!
>>322627493

hahaahhahaha
I tried to upgrade, but my computer crashed and my harddrive was wiped. This has happened 3 times.
>>322632564
>using the auto upgrader
You had it coming.
>>322632564
Got something similar once, turned out my MB bios was corrupted. It was a pain in the ass to get it fixed.
>>322632505
honestly the amount of games without no fix is so small. The relevant games were already fixed by people who cared enough by this point. If you refuse to upgrade because there's three games from 1983 that won't run then what can I say? It's a sacrifice that must be done.
>>322625365
>Too bad Win 10 runs like shit.
WRONG. It runs better than W8, and W8 runs way better than W7.
There is literally no decent reason as to why people should not go W10.
>>322627521
you could pirate them all if it came down too it, and im willing to bet a good chunk of people would, I dont think valve is stupid enough to do this, they've seen the backlash after the paid mod fiasco.
Switched to Windows 10 along with an SSD upgrade, been pretty happy so far.
>>322632671
Nigger people are still using Windows XP. Nothing "must be done", much less upgrading to a shitty spyware OS.
>>322633593

Nah, I'm good friendo. I tried windows 10 on my main PC and surface pro, hated it, and switched back in three days.
>>322634374
But Windows 10 is literally just Windows 8 with more features and a better GUI. What the hell are you even talking abouy?
Does no one know how to use a fucking computer here outside of letting steam install their games for them?
I'll make it easy for you fucking retards: Google disable win10 tracking
Find the link to github and download the file, which automatically adds the addresses to your HOSTS file to block any info sent out to MS servers, along with a few other fixes to cut off their connection to you. It will also uninstall any program win10 wouldn't normally let you uninstall if you choose so.
There, now you can sleep safe and sound knowing your precious collection of furry diaper porn will never be seen by big bad MS.
>>322634547
70% of the games and software I wanted to run didn't work. At least I'm not on XP or 7.Not bashing anyone's OS
Win10 ain't for me though when I buy another surface pro, I'll give her another shot, feel better now, anon?
>>322634706
>which automatically adds the addresses to your HOSTS file to block any info sent out to MS servers
Wouldn't that also make you PC unable to be updated since those are sent by Microsoft servers?
>>322635012
No, different addresses are used for sending info and recieiving updates. I still get mine.
>>322634706
>automatically adds the addresses to your HOSTS file to block any info sent out to MS servers
Microsoft's network driver doesn't give a shit about that file and has some hardcoded IPs so it'll always resolve.
Also, just because you tick a box it doesn't make you safe, especially if you don't know if that checkbox actually does something.
I've never had a single issue playing any of my large collection of disgusting porn games on Windows 10.
There are plenty of issues with 10, but not being able to play H-games isn't one of them.
>>322635227
I doubt how valid this is, I saw almost no activity on wireshark post HOSTS file edits vs pre-edit

>>322634706
Duobt that works, maybe temporarly, hosts is a service provided by Windows, if Microsoft wants they could easily set a patch to override that, or simply circumvent it. It's like you're trying to kill the devil with fire.
>>322635580
Link it.
>>322635653
Windows 7 is also a MS product.

My Windows 7 works fine.
The only problem I have with it is that it sometimes BSOD when I connect my PS3 controller.
>>322635916
I just looked it up on Gelbooru.
>>322635491
It's true though, certain hostnames and IPs are hardcoded in dnsapi.dll and are used right away. Windows only falls back to HOSTS and DNS if reaching those IPs is impossible.
>>322625818
Everything still works on Windows 10
All your japanese doujin games still work on Windows 10
You still keep total control of your PC
You still keep the exact same amount of privacy as previous versions of windows.

If Win10 didn't fuck up the first impression, I wouldn't be with 8.1 still, faм
I'm currently using 8.1 right now and still on the fence about 10.
Is it truly worth installing or should I keep telling the pop ups to fuck off?
>>322636315
But that's wrong.
>>322636184
Alright then, if this is the case then it's still sending a shit ton less information than it used to. Is there a way to manipulate a .dll?

Absolutely not. I will NEVER upgrade to Windows 10. Your "exclusives" can stay exclusive, fuck you Microshit.

If Win10 fucked up the first impression, I wouldn't have continued using it ever since the preview builds first came out.

The only difference here is that GNU/Linux is actually free to dual boot, where Windows 10 is only free if you upgrade, which means you can't keep the old OS

Project Forge is Windows 10 only despite only needing DirectX 10 to run, and yet people haven't figured a way to make it work on Windows 7 or 8. If you're waiting for a way to play Windows 10 only games on older systems then you might be out of luck.
