Preordered it on PC, I would give -5 points to the score for releasing it on the Microsoft Store. The Store is still a piece of shit software going nowhere.

Question - Whats wrong with the Windows Store? I have played FH3 and Gears 4 and they worked incredibly well. Or is it because it doesnt add to your Steam library?

 

Also no need to deduct points because you can get the Game on XB1.. unless you are saying you will deduct points because its a MS exclusive..

Several issues with the Microsoft Store:

1. No option to change the language for the game. ( I prefer english)

2. No option to verify integrity of files. ( One patch for FH3 broke the game so I had to completely reinstall it.)

3. Microsoft Store automatically started to download the game in the backround without my permission. I got no notification, nor where I want to download it. It just put it on C, wasting twice as much diskspace, so I got left with 8 GB free diskspace, the game took 120GB.

4. The interface in itself is just a pain to use, but you can create a shortcut which wasn't quite easy to figure out how to do it.

5. Lack of different management options for your game which are a standard on Steam for over a decade now.

 

I wish they would release it on Steam, but this is Microsoft we are talking about. My complains are only for the PC version. I don't have a Xbox.

 

As a side note, it took the developer 8 months to fix FH3 on PC.
