Excellent. Now Uplay.
Sad news all around, never had a problem with GFWL in however many years I've used it, I think around 3 or 4, it was my favorite service. I liked the interface, being able to send messages, pressing the home button on the 360 controller and having the overlay pop-up, not having to have a big client running in the background, the best achievements.
Which hasn't really worked... well... for a long time? GFWL on GTAIV has been busted for a looooooooooong time already.
I think GFWL is the only way to buy BlazBlue digitally
so uh yeah

Sigh, if MS had just put some more effort into it but Xbox Xbox Xbox. I get why they didn't but it still sucks. Maybe they'll try again in a couple years.
So GFWL is getting killed off at the expense of taking some games with it?
There is a client running in the background and it is most likley using a similar amount of RAM to Steam.
Does this make the Halo 3 on Steam rumors seem more or less likely? I don't really know how this stuff works.
Bethesda will take this chance to patch out GFWL from Fallout 3 and add Windows 7 support, right? right?
Too bad there's 0% chance of Dark Souls ever updating to get rid of GFWL

But can Steam send messages?

Just get Fallout NV and install Tale of Two Wastelands. Both games in one with all the NV improvements. It's the best. And no GFWL.
Woah woah woah woah. what
Not to the friends who matter the most.
Yea this was all 360 players. It's a pretty bad PC port to be honest, I think it's actually an emulation of the 360 game because some of the game mechanics break above 30 FPS. It was also designed for cross-platform play with M+KB and Controllers in the same game. They made some pretty obnoxious tweaks to M+KB controls to make it fair, so if you are flicking your mouse around very quickly you will have decreased accuracy. For M+KB players, this is blasphemous, handicapping one of the inherent benefits of the Mouse.
If there was a re-release, it should be PC only on Steam with none of the nonsense that was done to M+KB controls to balance for controllers. It should also be designed to run at 60 FPS.
Tied to Windows Vista, back when PC gamers had to pay for online with GFWL, overpriced, and a bad PC port that intentionally handicapped PC players so MS could market cross platform play. There is a reason it's a prime example of the failed GFWL experiment.
Underneath all the sludge of shitty business decisions it's a great game though. But, I still consider it a great console shooter and a bad PC port.

damn.
Can you explain how 60fps breaks the mechanics?
Animations are calculated based on 30 frames instead of just in seconds.
When the frames go over 30 fps, the animations begin to break. It looks like you are going super speed if you go to >120fps.
I don't know if this applies specifically to this game, but it is common in other games.
So I got 5 dollars left on live points. What is there worth buying on the gfwl store for 5 dollars? I got a 10 dollar code from trading to buy Minervas Den and I want to spend the other 5.
Is the Lancia Stratos pack for Dirt 3 worth money? I mean I dont know what to buy.
You might as well wait until the 21st and see if they have any special offers.
No, you should still be able to log in like normal.
What's happening here is that they are shutting down the marketplace, so you won't be able to purchase any more games through there.
So what's exclusive on the GFWL store besides Gears?
Hahahahaha.

Nah, Origin will probably keep Mirror's Edge out of Steam. It must go first.Nah Uplay first. You can ignore Origin but Uplay opens up another damn launcher after steam.

I never thought I would see the day. I'm sorry, but literally everything you said is objectively wrong.
I don't even know where to start since you piled on so many things there.
With all due respect Grief, when you have EVER said a positive word about GFWL? You bash it any chance you get. Nothing he said was stated as fact. "IT WAS MY FAVORITE SERVICE" is an opinion and he explained it, but yet again you go negative nancy because it happens to be about GFWL.
Just stop already man. This act is so old now you can set your watch to it. As a long time GFWL user, you need to finally accept the fact that there are people out there who use GFWL with little to no issues and actually enjoy it.
Makes sense.
To be fair, I've played quite a bit of Shadowrun on PC at 60fps and the high framerate never became a big problem for me in any meaningful way that I can think of. Maybe someone who plays more like Booshka might have better insight into that.

What's funny is that you're quoting a conversation between Heavy and Grief and calling Grief the shill.
Do a google search for "neogaf heavy gfwl" and enjoy the corporate ball washing.
