I do not have technical problems with UWP. I have a problem with the lack of choice:

You HAVE to use W10. Not because of technical reasons, but because MS wants to force everyone on W10.

You HAVE to use the W10 Store. Instead of other clients like Steam or uPlay or Origin or even DRM-free on GOG.

The lack of choice is what disappoints me. MS can keep their exclusives and they clearly do not need my money. I am irrelevant to them as paying customer. Which is fine. There are other ways. And other games of course

former ranked Quake 3 player, played id products since wolf 3d, halo was a pile of shit for console weenies that didn't know better. id took so long to ship doom3 that people already had better tech on the xbox those products made more money then doom3 did, now doom3 was a good single player game that could make you jump a few times but if you measure what happened with EA and Activision using the Quake 3 engine and what id did with their own code it a fucking joke how far they fell behind so fast when they were in first place they fell down and down. IW kicked ass, EA's MOH wrecked them, EA Bond AUF team wrecked them, all using Carmacks code. id failed to grow into a modern developer, they had very talented developers but no modern development methods, not enough bodies to generate content before the tech became passed by others in the case of Doom3. Trust me I know this all first hand.

I'm glad that this game is still going strong, it's quite fascinating how it actually evolved from being a WoW clone that broke the subscription chains.

our team has worked diligently to identify and correct issues that were not apparent with our testing and live phases

Your shitty multiplayer infrastructure was not apparent with your testing? Methinks you should rephrase that sentence to "correct issues that were not apparent with a cursory glance, as we did no testing whatsoever."

The real problem of "for honor" is and remains the fact that I could be playing Mount and Blade instead.... and command armies, do quests, become king.

For Honor is like 10% of Mount and Blade, very polished, very smooth combat, but also very formulaic and stone-beats-paper style combat.. I didn't like it at all. The combat is basically a fancy quicktime event.

I dont get the comparison.

one of these games is a multiplayer object game with medieval combat. The other one is a single player action rpg type game with medival combat.

its like saying that Injustice is the same as Batman: Arkham Knight.

But even so I can easily compare the combat between the 2... 1v1 combat in Mount and Blade MP (a thing since Warband AFAIK) is pretty intense, and a lot less quicktime event feeling than For Honor.

Intel is having a hissy fit.

This from a company that launched their Kaby Lake X series not with solder on the die, but with fucking thermal paste, so they could save... what, 40 cents per $1000 processor? Fuck Intel with a boiling hot glue gun.

This game isn't even played. I think only roughly 500 people are playing this, right? Why double price, instead of cut in half.

Tried Anarki last night. I mean, I have like 40,000 favor, but the whole renting for 24 hours thing really bothers me. Were it "rent for 60 in-game minutes" or "5 matches" I'd be down with it, but 24 hours feels like I need to be around to play to get value. Which may be what they want, but for me personally, rather than incentivize me to play more it incentivizes me to rent less. I don't want to feel like not playing one more match means I'm missing out on something.

Also, I hated Anarki. Not being able to open an empty map to get a feel for the character you just rented is dumb.

Oh that's super weird, I played in the one two weeks ago and now this one. Never had to rent or unlock though I understand that's how the final game will be.

I started off playing only Slash but the wide health differences between her and the heavies was pretty annoying and un-quake like. Now I'm playing Visor to essentially have the same speed but with a little more health and armor.

Pretty much agree with everything in your post there Beamer...

But one technical aspect,

Since they're not all unlocked (and I'm now level 10 without having played a single other hero), it's hard to really know what you're up against: you need to play as a hero to really get it.

At least the past two betas (maybe more) have had all of the heroes available, none of them are locked down.

Man, I remember playing this in the 90s on America Online; I had no idea it was still going strong. Graphics look a lot better than I remember too ;-)

The game needs some fine tuning but, overall, they've done a good job with it.

Hmm, any idea why Valve would be instituting this change now? Given all the work that goes into increasing your ranking, I'm not immediately seeing why someone would want multiple accounts, or why it would be a problem for Valve.
