playing a 20 year old game on your xbox one.

seriously why are they remaking games from the generation immediately before this one? just up the resolution and some textures and bundle it and release that.

remaster halo 1 and 2 makes sense cause they're from Xbox, but GoW? a waste of time, money and talent(?). they didn't update the models and textures of Halo 3 in the master chief collection. same with any PS3 -> PS4 remaster.

theyre remaking ratchet and clank for ps4

no, it's a shooter w/ mirrors edge movement + bhops and airstrafes. it was a lot of fun but it's dead now because the matchmaking was trash.

what other fps has better movement? AW? get real scrub. xbone has about twice the daily players as pc.

and letting your titan wander around in AI mode is dumb as heck, they are rly good when piloted and useless on their own. good to know you suck at games and posting.

most people set it into sentry mode and then stayed near it basically using it as a second gun while they used their auto aiming pistol or whatever to kill bots :shrug:

the titans were garbage compared to the mobility of the foot soldiers and the game has a stupid low TTK (CoD clone etc) so a bigger gun doesn't really help you kill faster

The fact is that W10M can't fail even it wants to. The explosive growth of W10 and the soon arriving four app porting bridges will assure the growth of W10M. W10 will lead the way. By next Summer, the W10 user base could easily surpass the size of iOS user base. The iOS app developers would have to ask themselves a natural question whether they should invest couple months to port their apps over to UWA so the their revenue could potentially be doubled or just stand on the sideline and watch the opportunity to slip by. I'll bet that the traffic on the Islandwood bridge will be quite busy. UWA will definitely serve W10M users as well. The Android app developers will also face a similar question whether they should invest a small cost with 3-5 days of work to cross the Project Astoria bridge and serve the initially smaller WP crowd (70 millions). I'll bet the traffic on that bridge will be busy too. They can see the potential of W10M which will grow with W10 in harmony. The existing millions of .NET and Win32 app developers will certainly keep the Project Centennial bridge jamming. At the same time, the WP app developers will shift gear to higher ground to support UWA, integration with Cortana, Interactive Live tiles, etc., so their native apps are always superior. The future growth potential of the Windows Store is unlimited. W10M will eventually become the mainstream mobile platform in 3-5 years when W10 becomes the center of the personal computing universe. The sheer size and weight of W10 will drive all the app developers, users and vendors to join the spiraling up parade.

So just ignore what today's app developers say or do. They'll just have to adapt to the new reality or get crushed.

if you have a family account, the default setting is that kids' computer activities get monitored, compiled, and emailed to parents as a digest. full web browsing history, app use, everything

quote:

Kids’ settings go with them
On Windows 10, you’ll need a Microsoft account in order to use Microsoft family whether you’re a part of a family as an adult or a child. When kids are added to a Microsoft family with a Microsoft account, any time they sign in to a Windows 10 device, their settings will be applied and their activity will be reported to the adults in their family. Adults can always turn off activity reporting or remove kids from the Microsoft family at account.microsoft.com/family.

Recent activity you can act on
On the redesigned recent activity page, you can see how your kids are spending their time on each PC, from the apps and games they’re using to the websites they’re visiting. And while you’re looking at their recent activity, you can decide whether or not something is right for them, and block or allow it right there.
