You know what noone ever mentions? Perpetual backwards compatibility on PC.
That alone makes it worth building a PC library for, even with the hassle of compatibility issues. I always know I can play my games later at higher settings and framerates a few years down the line when I upgrade.
Wouldn't you agree /v/?
>ultrawide monitor
fucking gross
ew

did they fix commandos?
Nope. Try installing a random game from around 2000. You have to find a fix online or rebuy it on GOG.
full forwards compatibility, now and forever!
that is until a future version of windows breaks it, which is to say, every version ever
seriously tho, games should have been sandboxed decades ago
>>342733545
Not him but I've tried it many times. Most games from that time period or earlier work fine with some light tweaking. Hell I can even play 90s games on my Mac through WINE.
>>342733545
really depends
unreal tournament 99 can run no problem on windows 10 while the original tomb raider games are busted
>>342733545
good luck doing that on an xbox
>>342733258
People mention it anytime consolecucks get all up in arms about some cinematic remake, they're just too stupid to acknowledge it.
>>342733516
nope it is hard to get that shit to run. and it will always be in small res
>>342733545
Literally never had an issue with an old game I've bought and tried to get running, even with extensive mods. Just because you're computer illiterate doesn't mean everybody is.
>play fallout 3 on xbox one
Just works
>play fallout 3 on pc
Memory fix to use more ram
Fallout.ini crashing for multi thread
Game works but still crashes
Cry a lot
>>342733545
or download a free GOG copy :)
Prepare your anus for UWP.
>icewindale on windows 10
>on lan multiplayer
until games start requiring win10 and old games won't work on it
>>342736154
>play fallout 3 on Xbox one
>enjoy silky smooth 24 FPS at sub HD resolution
No one mentions it because its fucking obvious you stupid bastard.
>>342733258
>no-one ever mentions perpetual backwards compatibility on PC
seriously?
I mean, yeah, it is practically a given so it does not need repeating at every point, but it does get mentioned from time to time, especially when belitteling the xBones´ flimsy attempts at it.
>>342734185
> windows 10
Yeah, that one is a teeny tiny giant branch in the wheels.
oh yeah because its totally easy to run jumpstart 2nd grade and virtual springfield on windows 7/8/10
retard
>>342733258
Windows 10 fucked up alot of backwards compat on older games.
Shit I used to have my login screen on windows as the zork adventure and now I can't even launch the damn game. Fucking sucks man.
>>342733258
>shield handheld
but anon! you're just going to sit at your desk and play it there!
>>342737148
I've played them both and even modded the pc version with eve and other visual enchantments. No big difference.
>>342733258
But it's also holding pc back. The slew of old API and libraries, it's like a garbage dumpster. Once in a while every system should have a clean start. And VM and emulation can take care of the rest
>>342737494
i'm sure they'll find a way to sell you your old games again on the windows store
