I read this a few days ago and I only made my way through maybe half of it because it was just your typical Kotaku/Gawker bitchfest lazy article.
He had legitimate gripes but they weren't really specific to gaming, the article appeared to be just about UI and organization. He might have gotten to why it was bad later for gamers specifically, but that didn't seem to be what the article was about. He mainly just wanted an attention grabbing headline.
And these two things stood out to me--
1) He's talking about things not made for Windows 8 and not optimized for it. Of course there's going to be some funnyness.
2) OMG I CANT JOIN A 360 GAME FROM MY PC! KILL WINDOWS 8 KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!!!11!!!1 |
He talks about how this is bad for gamers, like the split nature and that you have to go through loops to run most gaming programs but Microsoft's own.
1) When will they be made for it and optimized? Pretty much everything worked on 7 right out of the gate
2) "The thing about the Xbox Live setup, though, is that it's designed for use primarily with a controller, and mainly from across the room. Xbox games are, by nature, full screen and don't have window functions on them. The dashboard is also very horizontally oriented. The end result?" and "The thing about the Xbox Live setup, though, is that it's designed for use primarily with a controller, and mainly from across the room.

He said it was confusing to see Live friends playing Xbox games when really he had no benefit in knowing that.

no benefit? I see a mate of mine has just loged on Forza and I decide I wouldnt mind a race with him.... no benefit?
Some might not want to see the benefit in that, but to desribe it as a negative is nit picking in the exreme... finding fault becuase she wanted to find fault if you like
