Games for Windows Live..
I have no idea where to start, this is honest to the A.I. Director so terrible it makes me fear opening up a windows live game. I buy all my games through Steam, and okay I can kind of handle needing 13 different accounts to play all my games (comrade, ubisoft and things like that), mainly because the games aren't tethered to the account. Windows live does this, they make you enter in a key so if your account shits it royally you are basically screwed. I already have the game tied to my Steam account, why would I want it tied to another?
Oh and the updating system, I will open up a game, not realizing it carries the curse that is windows live, and it is all 'oh hey, you need to update' so I try from in game, I try again, every time it supposedly updates I try playing and the darn thing says it has to update again. So what I do is just go to the darn website and download it there, where I spent an hour trying to figure out how to turn parental control off (as a 18 yr old I find this rather redundant as my parent account is a second email of mine anyways). So I open the program and it has an error saying I cannot log in, by this point I have reached Facebook rant time. IN ALL CAPS. I then try to log in in game, this works, finally. I play 20 minutes of the game in total because I spent soo much time TRYING to play. So thank you Windows Live, for making me cry manly tears.
I hate you
Also, service is terrible, I feel like the nerdy kid in the corner again and Microsoft is the hugely popular guy who doesn't really give a flying fuck about me. T.T

ReplyDeleteAh, don't we all LOVE GFWL?
I had to solve a problem with that recently.
Tried playing Bulletstorm on Anarchy mode with a friend, every time we tried, we got nothing. Stuck at the loading screen.
Looked all over the internet for a solution.
Open & closed ports, zilch. Tried every single thing that would allow Bulletstorm to freely access anything it wanted to.
Both of us gave up, about 48 hours later I figure out that my account had somehow set itself to make me appear offline permanently. So every time my friend got into the private game lobby & I started the game, all of a sudden "Oops, looks like the host has gone".
Didn't know if I wanted to punch myself or the idiots who made the damn thing to begin with.
I figured out how to turn parental control off *I think*. But it has gotten to the point where if I see a game on Steam I will CHECK if it is on GFWL and then consider if it is really worth the headdesking that will eventuate. Not to mention the UI sucks. Things need to be more like Steam. *fanboys Steam*
