Microsoft's Xbox exclusives are starting to come to the Windows store, haven't you heard the news? I just got Killer Instinct and Quantum Break(for 1/3 the price), they're not coming to Steam.

I know about, but I have more or less zero interest in these games. The only console games I'm looking to get right now are Uncharted 4, GT 7 and possibly FFXV.

KI looks good and unlike any other fighting game out there, QB is a new Remedy game so it was always a purchase for me. I'm a mixed console/pc gamer and I didn't want to buy a Xbone yet for just 2-3 games, which I now can play in 1080p as well. Waiting for a Slim(mer) revision, or when Scalebound comes out but doesn't have a pc release.

1. Open the Settings app, and click on the System icon.

2. Click on Storage on the left side. On the right side under Save locations, select the drive you want New apps will save to.

3. When finished, you can close Settings.

Thanks. Unbelievable they would lock the ability away somewhere in the settings and not let us choose the path before starting the download.

Even worst, I also didn't know about the weird setting stuff when I downloaded Killer Instinct so it went through 24GB of the 25GB download before telling me my C drive didn't have enough space! I couldn't just move my partially downloaded game to my other drive so I had to redownload the whole thing one more time.



Signature goes here!

Edit; a couple of years back when MS stated that they would start focusing more on the PC again, I was kinda hoping that it meant investing in studios or getting great support for windows games like the good old days, and not simply porting Xbox games to PC. I'm quite disappointed with their "drive" towards better PC gaming thus far.

Same, not only that but I'm disappointed that they don't really want to make it better, they just want to cntrol and command the space than co-exist and cater towards it.



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.

I finally decided to find out where the hell Steam was installing my games after reading this thread. Turns out to be steam > steamapps > common for default install setup.

Yeah, they always aimed for closed systems, which would not benefit us gamers one bit. I like the PC space as it is, as far as digital games and distribution go. Some think that Valve have too much influence in the digital PC world but they've mostly handled it well, and done wonders for the Indie scene. The PC is mostly to thank for the blooming of Indie titles in the past decade, and Steam even more so.
