Seems the situation regarding Xbox and Windows 10 is reaching disaster levels. Seems much worse than anyone could have anticipated.
These next years really will be make or break for MS.
>"When we started the project we weren’t aware of Windows 10,” says a source. “We were going to ship on Xbox One initially and then we wanted to come out on PC at a later point, most likely though Steam. But we got burnt quite badly."
>“Without Steam, without other platforms, it was just painful,” says another. “The Windows Store is a giant disaster. It’s on fire. 98% of PC copies of Rise of the Tomb Raider, a flagship Windows 10 game, were bought on Steam. The same is true for Minecraft. That hurt us, too. The store’s a mess; the number of people who couldn’t even install the game from the Microsoft store was… significant.”
>Windows 10 installs, too, were nowhere near what Microsoft had planned...“There are supposed to be 2x as many Xboxes out there as there are right now. There are supposed to be 2x as many Windows 10 installs as there currently are.

The danger here is that Microsoft's reaction to poor performance has always been to attempt to force poorly performing programs harder. We already know that they're forcing upgrades to Windows 10 on anyone who has kept their system up to date with recommended updates for security meaning the only way you can avoid it is to leave yourself wind open to attacks that shouldn't work anymore. Its only a year or so away from new hardware no longer being supported on older versions of Windows and about three and a half years from Windows 7 support being dropped entirely.
I will not be surprised at all if Microsoft attempts to force developers into the Windows Store exclusively through the same kind of anti-consumer actions we see in the console market. Or even the nightmare scenario that keeps Gabe Newell up at night where Microsoft will add a 'security' option that will lock Windows to their store by default and show a scary warning to anyone who tries to install Steam.

It's time to join us wincucks.
Tell me some games with 5 player couch multiplayer. I care not for the genre, as long as the game be fun (and preferably emulatable).
Nintendo land has a few good stuff for 5 players

Already have it. It's great fun, one of my favourites.
Who else saw the latest Game Grumps here? It was f*king EPIC
I wonder if /v/ is still so hyped for Watch Dogs 2 after yesterdays news about the main character.
Donkey Kong is the only game I've played a monkey before, so I'm hyped.

Why would you want that?
Anyone played the cities skylines DLCs? Are they any fun? Worth buying them if i already have the game? Also are there any other cool citybuilders?
>>340530962

>>340531442
>thats not how rivers work
What do you mean?
I have the game in steam already so i was wondering if i should just buy the DLCs.

I think he means that the lake would be empty within a few days of flow since it doesn't have a way to replenish it such as a mountain. The standing water exists from runoff from the city alone? Hello pollution

This is on sale on Steam for $12. I know /v/ doesn't really like how the game turned out, but do you guys believe it's at least worth $12 for a playthrough? How fun is it?
>>340530172
It's not worth it, man. Gets boring after hour or two.
>>340530172
Don't get it, anon. Just wait for the second one. Trust me. It isn't worth it.
>>340530172
Shit is still shit, no matter the price tag.

Real talk. Aside from factors like fun, skill ceiling, teamplay, all that jazz.
Considering only the global experience and a general point of view.
I'm having a debat with a friend about wich game is the most casual.
As an exemple I told him how he was shit at LoL while he always been decent at FPS (even when learning)

Overwatch. You pick up and play. You don't need to learn shit because chances are you played a FPS before.
LoL. You wouldn't know what the fuck you are doing unless you actually tried to and most people don't play mobas.
>>340530110
Can i choose a good game instead?
>>340530110
Theyre 2 different genres, ASSFAGGOTS are not intuative
FPS are, Everyone gets the gist of Quake. Not everyone gets the gist of LoL
Lol is a super casual version of Dota. Overwatch is a pretty casual shooter, comparing them makes no sense
>chaingun snipers and revenant/archvile traps: the game
why is this allowed?
is Plutonia generally looked upon as a good wad? some of the maps are pretty good but the difficulty feels really cheap
It's supposed to be hard, you pussy.
>a maze with archviles
Final Doom is horrible. Got more fun out of No Rest for the Living and the Master Levels
Plutonia isn't that hard. It's tedious as fuck.
I skip it because the huge ass maps bores me to death.
Can somebody please explain to me why you would pick this guy when the team is already lacking a healer or tank?
Because I can solo kill the entire team regardless of their class.
When I get gold medals in eliminations and damage don't you fucking DARE try and blame the loss on me.
>>340529597
So youre the kind of guy who would happily lose if it means you scored the most goals?
>>340529597
Fuck off, main focus of the game is to be playing as a team to reach certain objectives, not necessarly to get the most kills. In many situation you could benefit your team more by playing as a tank or support.
