Vista SP1 has been available for all of one day, and users are already reporting issues and bugs. PC Pro readers began reporting a wide array of problems, with issues ranging from slower performance to rendering a machine inoperable. "[It] started installing at 7.15am ... SP1 failed to install. Machine started to reset back to previous state. Computer still not usable three hours later".
TNS: Expedition 33 was the wake-up call Square Enix needed, telling it turn-based RPGs are still popular, but that shouldn't have been the case.
True, but if it does get it through their thick skulls, then that works.
Although, the Dragon Quest 1 + 2 HD remakes will be turn-based and (the worst kept secret) Final Fantasy IX remake should be turn-based I would imagine. Let's see if any newer games go turn-based too.
While it is true that Sqaure Enix has moved away from turn based games compared to how they were in the past, there is a good reason for it.
Older gamers will know this but during the ps2 era, we were flooded with turned based games from Japanese studios and this created a form of fatigue back then going into the next generation.
When Square released FF13, they received heavy criticism for making the game turned based like every other FF game and not doing enough to innovate. This is why they made FF15, FF7 Remake and FF16 have real time combat. It gave the series a fresh spin and has brought in new fans to the series.
I personally would be happy with either turned based FF or the real-time combat version we see today.
Ruffy and the Riverside is an excellent and incredibly creative platformer with a unique gameplay hook, colorful world and memorable characters.
FromSoftware's multiplayer spin-off of Elden Ring is a fun surprise that works better than expected.
Well good thing they didnt use the xbug 180, that POS becomes useless for weeks.
and now into 2008 theres zero reason to own one, no games for 2008.
microsoft has sorta ruined their rep lately.
this could very well be an isolated or minimal case, but everyone is so on the lookout for ANY chance to downplay the fact Vista might become useful, that any little thing will get magnified to high hell.
this is the same if microsoft announced a 360 slim in E3. the RROD issue would have been almost been ironed out, with failure rates maybe 3-4% or lower.
but the first RROD someone gets is gonna get reamed across the interbutts and everyone will mock it like it was a white-hot needle in MS's eye.
i'm gonna give it 3-4 more days to install then see what the deal is before making judgement
exactly why I haven't updated my Vista to SP1 after the first testers said that it might not be all fun and games with SP1
Stability has always been an issue with all service packs!
No problems here... running like a dream!
... I'll wait untill I'm back from vacation (early July) before I'll install SP1.
My Vista is running fine as it is right now, but thinking of doing a clean install in the summer.
