Microsoft a cancer to gaming?

I wouldn't go that far, but it's obvious that Microsoft as a developer does not care about core gamers like Sony and Nintendo. They seem perfectly passive about letting third party devs do it for them.

Then what is Gears, Halo, or Forza?

I'd just like to say, it's been almost 6 years...

Epic and Bungie are not Microsoft first party devs. I have no idea about Forza though.

Epic is 3rd party, Bungie used to be 1st party, and 343 Industries + Turn 10 Studios are 1st party.

Just some Kinect / Windows Phone developers. Rare is a Kinect developer as well.

Epic is 3rd party, Bungie used to be 2nd party, and 43 Industries + Turn 10 are 1st party.

You're right...Gears IS owned by Epic. I never knew that!

[QUOTE="kuraimen"][QUOTE="Kickinurass"] It's not a PC, it's an OS. You can install different OS on a PC. If all the resources of the OS are dedicated to the game then you would effectively have optimized use of resources like in a console but using PC hardware and with the capacity to upgrade the hardware. Lets just say PC gaming would probably advance several times faster than it does now because now it depends on basically one company developing an API at their own pace and with their own priorities inside a general purpose OS.Kickinurass

So what? You have two OS, one for gaming and one for general purpose stuff? Both of which would probably at be commercial products?

Are you advocating some open source project wherein each company can develop there own API and develop it in different directions. If anything that just sounds like will lead to needless fragmentation.

i got a ps3 and a wii mostly for gaming but i still use them for other things. Main reason why many hermits buy there rigs is for gaming.

You have absolutely no basis for that. Not a single fact to back up your assumption. For all you know every PC gamer in the world could just as likely use Windows for professional or hobbyists reasons, and gaming as a secondary reason.

:roll: facts? really? how do you prove this? i have talked to pc gamers that made a new pc to game on. When they did not need it for anything els. does not mean they never touch it for anything els.

[QUOTE="Firebird-5"][QUOTE="dontshackzmii"]

i went over this already this is just going in in cycles. most hermits already have computers to do every day tasks. they dont need 6 core an ssd and 6 gbs of ddr 3 for fire fox. they spend all of this money FOR GAMING. They can already do everything els.

the system that least impressed me this gen was the ps3. its a shame i spent so much money buying it and the games sukd pretty badly, and even now i hold on to it because of the blu ray player. I still have to beat uncharted 2...even though i beat unchaarted 1 i cant get into the sequel. Also metal gear solid 4 sukd major ones, i played like 10 mins into the game before i got bored. There was no reason for me to get the ps3 except for the blu ray player....its a shame. I dont have a wii but i will get one to play zelda and super smash.
