Yes.
Microsofts worst move into PC Gaming
First off, It encourages the DLC culture
Secondly, it is a huge and unnecessary resource hog serving NO purpose whatsoever other than to make notifications come up to tell you what you already / dont need to know
Thirdly, I see achievements as a pile of crap :D
It really is going to get overshadowed by Steam but personally I like it because it uses my Xbox Live gamertag and has it's own achievement system. If you're already an Xbox Live user then you're going to find this to be a great addition to widen that experience on your PC.
Just hope that they have some better deals then what they have now. They're asking to much for a lot of their games. Not to mention the selection (so far) is really weak.
Don't forget to grab your free copy of Tinker..
Games for Windows Live.. Works good.. Automatically knew about my profile from MSN Messenger.. Steam is a much different beast then what you see here..
Really, i hate this.
steams kicks his annoying ass.
Kinda annoying.
Good concept, but Steam works better IMO, please Microsoft, let this slide.
3.0 has been released, I have taken some screenshots of it and uploaded them here, check it out.
Needs to be improved.
Hah, use Steam or Xfire :D
Not the best!
I hope nothing else will ever come out like this.... EVER!!!
Tried to play GTA IV online once, with 3 other friends, but only two of us could join each other, and if the ones that couldn't join the host game, hosted a game thereselves, we couldn't join them.
Also, what nullability says is right, the MS points system is stupid. And why can't you just pay with the gamerpoints you earned while unlocking achievements of the game you want the DLC from or something. Or directly pay with money like on Steam.
sarcasm/ Yet, another great invention from Microsoft. /sarcasm
Obnoxious interface, and buzzwords like "gamertag" and "rep" make me gag. It's a real negative for me if a game relies on this for multiplayer. And forcing me to buy 1000 Microsoft Points for an 800-point product (like Fallout 3 DLC) is a joke. Seriously, why don't they just make it as easy as possible to buy something? Instead they make you jump through hoops with their overpriced "points." No thank you.
