that means also seven hours for me in normal, or soldier, because i'm the kind of gamer who stands and gawks at the graphics as you know, and shoots stuff to see how far they rendered the world ^^

it is a gorgeous game, the most beautiful yet, and much better than Crysis 2, but yeah, if you expect literary brilliance then obviously this isn't it!

Slacking again, been about 2 months since I played. Moved to a bigger place and working more so just haven't had much time for it lately. Xbox still not even hooked up. To think I activated my 12month I got (deals on Neowin (Y) ) last month and haven't even touched it is such a waste!

Need to jump on hooking it up this weekend at least!

Hi everyone, good to see there was some activity here still heh heh. Shotta, I hear you, good thing my Gold is about to expire - sure won't be renewing it. It's good to see your enthusiasm Subject Delta, if you enjoy it, keep it up!

 

I'm officially done with Xbox, it's been a good run. The recent debacle with Xbox One worldwide availability and region locking (as some of you may know I'm originally from the US with a US account but work all over the world) was a horrible start to the generation on their part. Then my current 360's power supply died and service was beyond incompetent. Two weeks and I still haven't received my replacement - which they charged me over the phone on the spot two weeks ago! 

 

Anyway, it's time to say goodbye to Xbox, it's been a good run. Canceled my pre-order for Xbox One, just pre-ordered a PS4 and a bunch of games. These people are idiots. They're just as bad as me, who had the girl of my dreams right in front of me and ignored her for months, and then when i finally woke up to it she was like too late pal, there's other guys out there. But this is just me being an idiot - Microsoft really can't afford to do this if they are to remain a viable money-making business in gaming.

 

Sorry for ranting, and take care! See you at the Playstation section heh heh  :)

I completely agree with you, neo. I've loved Microsoft for many years and the Xbox was my main man, unfortunately, I will be investing in a PS4 and sticking to Steam as well. Only way I will be renewing my sub with LIVE or getting an Xbox One is if someone pays for it for me. It's gonna be a sad day during Xbox One launch. :'(

Hey Delta, sorry for taking my sweet time to post. To put it mildly, I've mellowed out since then on the whole Xbox thing. A friend suggested changing regions to where I live. You know what, it helped. Stuff is more affordable, new features opened up, I can even get the free games with Gold...im not endorsing regional restrictions, those are ###### and need to go away. But I can't lie, I enjoy Xbox and as I get older im tired of being angry.

Plus MS saying Kinect isn't needed is a great step in the right direction. So, will keep my Gold and 360, but still getting PS4 first. Whenever viable, will likely get an Xbox One.

Besides, if DrunknMunky came back, anything's possible!

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By duhk · Posted

      I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.

      I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣

      Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.

      This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.

      Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
