Fuck this shit

>>388113678
I don't care. The reason I'm not buying it is because it's Windows Store exclusive.

One less game i will even bother to pirate, good for me i should focus on studying.

>>388113678
It's also a lelic release, so... Heh, the 200 dollar price of entry will be just swell

>not having a secondary W10 installation for things like this

>>388113678
It's a Microsoft property, so I'm not surprised. Will still play the shit out of it.

Well, I won't be playing it then. Not getting Windows 10. Will most likely backfire on them and they'll release it on Steam for other OS later.

>>388113971
By ignoring the other platforms such as GOG it is you YOU who is sucking off Gabe you fucking imbecile.

You can still upgrade to Windows 10 for free. Better get on that.

Or Company of Heroes 2, a complete shit game that was broken and had no content at release?
All the designers who did DoW1, DoW2, CoH1 left for Blizzard (one of them was lead on Diablo 3) or formed their own company.

>tfw I kind of like Play Anywhere and the W10 store

Granted I haven't had Steam installed in years. I play Gigantic and Fable Fortune sometimes, but only because they are linked directly with my Xbox account.

>>388114605
You can keep your shitty Botnet OS
t shill

I bet no one in a single interview will bring up what was planned for the franchise at the end of III's manual
It looks like they might turn it into a Rise of Nations or Empire Earth kind of deal.
And Win10 exclusivity, what are they thinking? RTS already is a niche in this day and age.

>>388114459
You know full well that the vast majority of the people complaining are on Windows 7 or 8, yet you chose to attack an older unsupported OS from 2001 to make their frustration more ridiculous than it really is.
That's exactly what a strawman is.

>>388114572
this move is not about not putting in work to support antique OS, it's about artificially restricting AoE IV to their malware OS in an attempt to lure people to use it

>Relic after DOW3

It's already doomed, hope you guys enjoy hitting a core

I honestly refuse to buy games outside of steam.

Still haven't gone for battlefield 1 since it's still like 80 fucking bucks on origin.

>>388114310
no, ITT why is Windows 10 such a pile of shit and why does Microsoft try so hard to force it down everyone's throat?

>>388114743
Yeah, and this happened with Halo 2 and Vista, but you were probably still wearing your nappies when that happened.

Still staying with win7, there's not one single game I would bother upgrading/pirating win10 for absoluteley none.

no, that's a shit move too, but a several years old PC port is much less important than a 13 years later sequel of a legendary game in a struggling genre

plus w10 may actually be worse than vista

I'm (maybe naively) confident that if it can be cracked at all, they can crack it for other Windows.
Or maybe they won't care to crack it all.

>>388114998
the entire point of complaining about the game being a win10 exclusive is because win10 is a pile of shit that people don't want to deal with

>>388114953

are you saying CoH was bad

>>388114018
Telemetry, constantly downloading and uploading without your permission, will install apps and games without your permission and will redownload them if you uninstall, will turn on settings that you had previously turned off (like the telemetry for example) after updating, etc.

>>388114998
like I said, it's a meme

Vista was actually bad, had all sorts of hardware issues and was buggy as fuck

Win10 is perfectly stable, it only gets hate because of "muh spying", even though there are ways to disable all of it. And >implying that win7 and win8 aren't also spying on you in the same exact ways.

>>388114934
>>388114018
i don't even care about the spying meme, but W10 on my gaming desktop runs substantially less smooth than my 2010 laptop running Arch with i3-gaps. It's truly unbelievable.

>>388115126
I do

such hatred of W10 all over this board but every speccy thread is full of people using it
hmmmmmm......

>>388114983
Honestly everything i play is pretty much on steam anyways. If not then you can just torrent as long as it's not online restricted.

Origin and Uplay just rarely seem to have games at a good price from what I'm interested in

>>388115186
Dual booters who brag about how much they hate Win 10 but still have it installed

>>388115063
If it's a DirectX 12-only game like I assume, Users of Windows 8.1 and below are probably out of luck.

>>388115139
don't forget the forced updates, forced malware scans that rape your disk, all of which make you go through the absolutely horrendous group policy manager to disable

Tippety top kek at everyone who thinks this will not be some mobaified shitfest.
Reminder that big companies and publishers think there is a reason more people are drawn in by moba gameplay so they will try to includeas many as they can get away with in order to "appeal to a wider audience".
Abandon all hope before you even get any. This will not end well.

>>388115186
Yea man, all those W10 games sell so well.
So well that games like DR4 and Quantum Break had to be moved to Steam because no one was buying them on M$'s shit Windows store.

>>388114258
It's a MS ip, it'll be windows store

>>388115461
I accept that the game is solid, I just don't like small-scale tactics merged with heavily reaction based gameplay systems, I find it constantly irritating and annoying. I feel like I need to be in 20 places constantly due to the fact that. unlike in DoW1 which also offers similar battle mechanics where you're constatly encontering enemies all over the map, there'a much heavier emphasis on right positioning and ability uses, as well as macro, even though it's much casualized. I think even reaction based gooclick like SC2 is much more calmer than CoH can be, which is constantly nagging you about every little detail throughout the match.

>>388115602

Not ballanced for lean, no dedicated servers

and I never did buy or pirate it MW1 was the last COD I ever played

>>388115461
I love gondola. :)

>>388116626
No one is buying those games on Steam either.

>>388116842
Because they moved to Steam months after their initial release when even the few people who would care about those games stopped caring.

>>388114934
There is a difference between having a car parked in your street watching your house and tapping directly intonyour phone line.

My main problem with win10 is that you can't disable update restarting your pc in the middle of work with the free upgrade, you either need to funble aroubd the registry or buy the professional version

>>388116417
doubt it, AoE IV was done after the displayed interest in the AoE 2 HD expansions, and DOW 3 tanked harder than a falling star, and DoW 2 already contained many assfaggots elements (hero focus, lane-esque map design, fountain-esque HQ, etc)

it'll probably go full nostalgiafag in the mechanic design, though this isn't the same as it being good of course

>>388116906
Quantum Break maybe, but DR4 pissed off all the DR fans, so I don't think that had any influence.

>>388117045
Sure, DR4 was a piece of fucking shit, and QB wasn't all that great either (outside of the OST, which is top-tier).

AHH boo hoo why isn't this thing working BECAUSE YOUR OS IS FUCKING 10 YEARS OLD GRANPA
like legit it's not fucking hard it was a free upgrade 10 is hardly different from 7, it runs better, boots quicker, has more options, looks better, and now gets exclusive games
There's no reason in 2017 to be holding back PC gaming with your garbage OS
sure it might have been good for the time but not anymore get over it your privileged shit or make your own OS along with your own games
