        I think they're really over-doing the "how to" articles... Is there anyone out there who doesn't know how to buy a game on the windows store?

          On Resetera there are people who are unable to function outside of steam. There are many console gamers who converted to the pc and out side of installing steam, they don't do anything else with their pc.

          I wouldn't be writing them if people weren't asking the questions. Some people just don't know, and while that's certainly surprising for a lot of us, I'd rather be the one letting them know how to do it correctly :)

        Just played for about an hour. It feels crackdowny, but there's something weird about the jumping that I can't put my finger on. Also, driving is terribad.

        Humor is Crackdown, it's fun so far, will update later. I'll say right now though, looking at the map and the speed I got through the first area? If I hit 10 hours on the main campaign then I'll be shocked. This is gonna be a short ride.
