View Full Version : Spread the word.
Seriously, this game is not getting enough attention and lots of people don't even know about it. It'd be really sad if the community for this amazing game died out for lack of players.
Post in forums, tell your friends, etc.

Done and done. I really do enjoy the game so I have already been talking it up. Heck even some of my RL friends that only play on teh boxes have purchased it. One, of these days I'll get them to the PC. ;)

I've been doing that even before the game was released. I got about two friends into buying it. :D (Don't know if I convinced them or actually got them too annoyed and had to choice but to buy it xD)

People that donīt actually know anything about it just like to repeat the few that do that have had bad experiences with it.
Maybe to sound smarter, or more critical.

Might be that, I only had issues with a game with GFWL, that is Gear Wars, but everyone did cause it was one of the bugs from that game. But after that GFWL has been a good boy, and never given me any trouble.

GFWL is lacking in several areas, Steam isn't perfect but it gets the job done.
You make it sound like there's a GFWL conspiracy but the fact of the matter is that GFWL has problems that prevent people from playing multiplayer or even playing the game at all.
By now MS should know that people don't like GFWL, what have they done about it? They changed the UI a bit and added support for a handful of countries, big whoop.
I wasn't around when Steam started but I hear that it was awful, Valve has since then worked to make Steam better for the user and they're making decent progress. Again, look at GFWL, look at the progress MS has made, they haven't changed anything worth talking about and they don't plan to start making changes now.

How do I make it sound like there's a conspiracy?
Oh Please, don't put words in my mouth, I'm just saying people just tend to like to repeat what they've heard from other people.
Im not saying it's perfect.
I just disagree it's the gamebreaker people tend to repeat others it is.

And what are the bugs people are getting and that I never get too? I got more than just this game. I got Halo games, Gears and among others and yet I don't see the big deal about it. I don't get any errors. Where are these errors, bugs or something? Can't be I'm about the only rejected to have errors and bugs with GFWL. It's a discrimination!

Thanks to GfWL.
Strangely enough I haven't had any problems this time around, unlike every other GFWL game I've ever played. Perhaps Microsoft are fixing it?

Already pre-loaded. But I'll still play S8P as long as there are servers.

It is a good thing if people are actively avoiding to buy games with gfwl and let it be known. The developers might get the message, wise up and stop implementing this ♥♥♥♥ in their games. Imagine gfwl got bigger and we had to put up with it in all games! Scary!

GFWL may suck. But in this case your missing out on a good game for no other reason than not wanting to spend 3 seconds signing in before you play. It's got dedicated servers which mostly makes GFWL a moot point.

Log in errors
Patching bugs [made worst by the lack of ETA, patch size or percentage]
Profile/save errors
Network errors
I'm not even going to go into the store itself or the region restrictions. If they expect people to warm up to their service they should make sure it works well, otherwise people will continue to fault games simply due to GFWL and not based on their own merits.
Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, just because it never happened to you doesn't mean it never happened to anyone else. I've never had a CPU fail on me but that doesn't mean they don't go bad.

Small devs like Timegate don't have much of an option. Microsoft provides funds for them as long as they use GFWL.
