Forums - Gaming - Stardock Boss: “If Games For Windows Takes Over, I’m Done”

Consoles are becoming too much like PCs. On the Gamecube, I put a disc in and it worked. Now on the Wii I have to go through Channels, install system updates, and the internet connection keeps breaking. But it's even worse on the PS3/X360 where you have to do game installs, view adverts on menus, patch games etc.

Dunno how the Wii handles it, but on the 360 you put in a disc and that's it.

If you download patches (which aren't necessary apart from online gaming) it takes about 10 seconds on the 360 regardless of the internet connection. (Don't know why, but they seem to be very small)

It wont take over... others likie Steam will allwaysbebigger and more popular. With this atitude GFW will never find a fanbase...

If you can find a Wii setting that loads the game right after pressing the Power button, I would love to know about it.

ps3 games usually do that :p sure it jumps into the os first but thats only a few seconds. If you can't spare those then you're too much in a hurry.

It can go suck some greasy balls. MS needs to fuck off with GFWL.



Check out my DS site.

Why so much hate for GFWL? I've personally never used it and tend to avoid MS initiatives like this as if it were the Black Plague, but I was under the impression that GFWL was a version of 360 system and that's practicely loved by the 360 fans.



Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.
