Bad Editing
When copying text from the source article make sure you read over the text and edit it if necessary. A good example is when a site writes "We" or "I" , as this should then be replaced with the site's or person's name, or you can quote the source.

Only if they start giving the pc platform more support.

Pandamobile3360d ago

99% of PC gamers could probably care less about Microsoft's support to gaming. We just want Win 10 to quietly serve our needs as users and to not get in the way of anything.

DX12 and Win 10 being free are a good start to get gamers on board. Hololens should be exciting as well.

originalJerryB3360d ago

Anything to get away from the current monstrosity!

Stiffler3360d ago (Edited 3360d ago )

@originalJerryB

Acutally, 8.1 is currently better than Win7. Its been tweaked and tuned accordingly. It manages resources far more efficiently, it's responsive, smooth. You name it. The majority that currently HAVE it, love it.

It's great that they're actually learning from the Win8 Vanilla downfall and listening to their customers.

Some people just love to whine, but hey, that's ok. Y'all can whine while I enjoy the OS and everything it has to offer.

If it's any consolation, the Windows 10 preview program has been going great and proves that Microsoft have been listening to concerns and adapting them this time.

Gonna be sweet when it releases alongside DX12.
E: special spelling!

freshslicepizza3360d ago

they will win with pc gamers if they open up that walled garden. one example is allowing games to be streamed to windows 10 devices from your windows 10 pc.

if they really wanted to get some attention they would have pc/xbox one games with one purchase price. meaning you but the game that is available on both like the upcoming fable and it can be used on the pc or the xbox one without the need to buy separately. if windows 10 is truly an all in one model then what's the problem? of course this would be entirely up to the publisher but microsoft should be leading by example. problem is it will always be limited because they have a vested interest ion selling xbox systems.

mhunterjr3360d ago (Edited 3360d ago )

What does that even mean?

PC gamers overwhelmingly game on windows PCs. The only question is which version of windows they choose to run. They don't need MS to make games software in orders make the upgrade to Win10... They just need a compelling reason to upgrade...

The fact that the upgrade is free, and supports Dx12 almost gauruntees that it will be a hit with PC gamers.

Roccetarius3359d ago

You forget that it actually needs to be made for Desktops as well, instead of a multi-device OS with backwards decisions for that crowd.

mhunterjr3359d ago

@roccetarius

What backwards decisions are you talking about?

Look at the previews... It functions as well for desktop use as it does for other form factors. I don't see anyone running preview builds complaining...

N4g_null3360d ago

If hololens does what it says then yes.

snookiegamer3360d ago

Morehead rides again! ...lol

Yup Win-Win for both PC/X1

OC_MurphysLaw3360d ago (Edited 3360d ago )

Windows 10 will succeed with gamers and everyone else if its received overall as a good OS and an improvement no just from Window 8 but also Windows 7. I don't think its a gaming specific argument for will it win gamers over...its a queston of: is it good as my everyday / everything OS?

Maxor3360d ago

It doesn't have to win. Winning is not required, Steam already has that down. All it needs to do is to not suck and annoy the user base with senseless crap nobody wants.

Fallout 4's 'next gen' update is over 14 gigs, breaks modded saves, & doesn't change much at all

We were expecting problems with mod support, but there are a lot of other issues.

Wow what the actual hell 🤣🤣🤣

just_looken7h ago

This is why you get the GOG version on gog you can select the version of the game to download.

On pc fallout 4 fallout new vegas and skyrim are all broken on steam because they all got the same "next gen" update.

Skyrim dec 2023
https://www.pcgamer.com/sky...

Can not find new vegas but anyone that modded it knows the script extender there was also broken

Valkyrye5h ago

Not accidental, they want modders to stop modding their older games to force them to mod Shitfield.

just_looken4h ago

There doing the same on starfield with a mods store and blocking mods

There goal is like blizzard and what they did with fallout 76 you make mods they can sell and you become a slave.

On skyrim they have "trusted" mod devs now basically a badge that lets your mod on the store you get a crumb of the sale when someone buys it.

Inverno2h ago

lol to the disagrees, the last Skyrim update broke mods too. They've been trying to kill mods to monetize them in creation club for years, it's not a stretch that they purposely put out patches just to break free mods.

porkChop1h ago

The disagrees are from people who have common sense. They aren't trying to kill mods. Most mods for any game will break with a new update because they rely on files/code that have been changed. This isn't new. Even with Bethesda this would happen way before the creation club. Mod support is literally one of the things that got Bethesda to where they are, and they're one of the only devs that releases comprehensive mod tools for each of their games.

Chocoburger1h ago

Over 14 GBs and doesn't change much at all? What? Taking up that much drive space for a pathetic 'remastering' is shameful.

Par for Bethesda.

Aussiesummer53m ago

It's not a remaster, it's a next gen update.

badz14930m ago

LOL people are actually expecting massive improvements or something? From Bethesda?? the same people who released Skyrim multiple times and the all look like shit? THAT Bethesda? are people for real?

Hopefully Microsoft will go back to the original story line and get away from that woke nonsense from the last Gears game Gears of Woke! But were talking about Microsoft so all the betting money is on more of the same woke nonsense.

Sciurus_vulgaris1m ago

The Locust trilogy concluded with Gears of War 3. I don’t get how Gears 4 and 5 are “woke” .
