What, how does that make any sense? Explain please

erm makes perfect sense. epic said this themselves. When using keyboard and mouse on the pc there is a lot more recoil to make aiming harder. They wanted the pc version to keep the same pace as the 360 version. Rather than drilling people with precision accuracy from other side of the map

I wouldnt bet on it. There was no demo for the 360 version iirc.

I hope that isn't the case for PC, because I haven't played GoW on any platform, so I'm unlikely to buy without trying...

i bought it on xbox and it was a good game and very enjoyable for me.

however i think the pc has more *hardcore* games who will finish this in 2 hours and then play the mp for 2 hours then get rid / let it collect dust.

i just think personally its too simplistic for the average pc fps gamer.

BINGO!!!

Is it just co-op, or can players kill eachother?

Didn't think so.

It's not cross-platform unfortunately.

Windows Live. Im not sure. You can't play with 360 owners, so i dont think it will use it like Shadowrun did.

wedgie · 20 Oct 2007 at 21:23

Windows Live isn't the same as cross platform games.

Windows Live is just Microsoft's platform for PC games.

Do you not mean "Games for Windows" that you see on the boxes of some PC games?

wedgie · 20 Oct 2007 at 21:26

Yes, Games for Windows Live.

Windows Live is for the cross-platform between games like Shadowrun.

Games for Windows is just the title Microsoft put on games now.

Look it up.

Ahh i got confused. I thought you thought that Windows Live was the brand Microsoft put on the games. Too many Window's and Live's going on here

I agree with what peopel are saying about Gears being a let down on pc. i have it on xbox. I completed it in 2 days on an xbox which i never play and dont like fps controls on xbox. So on a pc i recon i could do it in a day. Its not complex at all. It has a reasonable story line and good graphics but the concepts are simple. On the hardest setting it is impossibel though without co op. So i gues thats where pc gamers will be heading for their entertainment.

Online is ment to be good but the fact you hae recharging health and can hide behind anything can make shoot outs a lot longer then youd expect and it can oftern be the first to run out of ammo. Head shots rule the game and people who dont master the game will get owned if they dont learn they cant keep poping up with someone scoped on your head as a headshot is really the only way to kill someone. Well a nade works well.

You gota flank the enermy to kill them in multipler which means i think on the pc world in multiplayer it could be fun as unless you flank it can go on for a while with the recharging hp.

Just my 2 cent. A mix of good and bad. I thin kthe single playter will be a big dissapointment for a pc and the multiplayer could potentialy be good but will be dominated by those who achualy understand how to play with pin point accuracy on the heads.
