Because good things only come to those who upgrade. :shill:
Why the fuck are the requirements for Gears Ultimate so high when it runs on Gears 1 engine? Fuck you Microsoft.
New AoE is a given at this point.There was an image showcasing the original plans for the AoE series. AoE 1 to 3 happened pretty much as planned, but 4 to 6 were meant to explore other eras of history. Kind of like Empire Earth. AoE 6 was futuristic and featured a guy who looked a lot like the Halo space marine.

I wonder if the success of AoE and AoM "remasters" was one of the reasons for them going for this GFWL 2.0 shit to begin with. It was already weird that they just suddenly stopped rereleasing their older PC games on Steam, despite those cheap shoddy remasters being Steam bestseller and they themselves claiming how they were pleasantly surprised by their sales. It now looks like they got the wrongest possible message from that success.
Yeah, SteamOS... my reaction was "WTF is this shit Valve?" then Microsoft wants to make a store where you don't even fucking can find the .exe file of your games and I wouldn't be surprised with it doesn't even having an offline mode. Good job Microsoft, the last time you guys got right was on Windows 95.SteamOS looked like it was dead in the water, but Microsoft is doing what they can to give it another chance.

What was the problem with XP (besides DOS incompatibility)?
Service Pack 3 fixed some huge problems with XP, most of all big security problems.Windows 2000 was great, what the hell are you talking about.
Windows 1995-1998 was really a breakthrough for Microsoft, and 2000 was their last great system. I never had ME so i don't know how shitty it really was, and XP had certain things that i didn't like about it. Plus, it took three whole service packs to make it really good.
I think with stagnant PC sales and cloud based services that favor platform independence (both OS and hardware) Microsoft can't push the market like they could in the past. Corporate workstations are starting to get fragmented and it's not going to slow down. Steam is in a very good position with offering games on all platforms.And then Vista came and the rest is history. Part of my animosity for Linux stems precisely from the fact i really can't stand Microsoft anymore, but i'm stuck with it because everybody keeps coming up short. And i really dread the day when Windows 7 is not going to cut it anymore because i don't see any real alternative coming up either.

The problem with XP is hardware. Once you go beyond 2GB Ram XP can not recognize the extra resource. Which is the spec of a decade ago. Nowaday everybody and his dog has more resource than that and XP cant run them.
Do I have it right Crispy ?
