So... Is GoW HD or whatever it is called actually any good? I have the original original on 360 and can't seem to get into it as the game starts with zero story or context for why I'm in prison shooting dudes.

I have them all on 360 but the PC version is wicked. Will try the GOW3 tomorrow will let you know. 1 has popping issues on Xbox 360:rolleyes:
 
People are being awfully judgmental regarding the use of a word, that in so many ways, could have just been a mistake in it's spelling.

As it was, the OP was intoxicated and it was a simple typo.
Yet, it seems to me, there is genuine consternation and lecturing about the inappropriate use of the English language.
I have never been able to spell. It was a failing of my utter contempt of school and yet I have done very well for myself in the big wide world of blue chip companies.

So please..... This is a PC Game forum and not a class room.....

Now

Wat is Gow and how duz I getit M8

I understand what you're saying. For me personally I'm just sick of seeing and indeed hearing people use the word "brought" to mean the purchase of goods. Honestly, I hear it used a lot in real life and read it here all the time. It's lazy and sloppy, and it annoys me hence my posts. I took the time learning to read and write correctly whilst at school, and it isn't such a difficult thing for most others to do as well. I think a few other posters in here have had the same experiences, hence why they all jumped on the post too. Although, I do have to say, going by the last defensive post from the OP going on about his life and what he's achieved, I really don't believe that it was a simple case of him being intoxicated. But that's just my personal opinion.
 
Get over it people. I make spelling mistakes all the time, especially not I use my phone for a lot of forum posts.

Glad someone was able to help with your problem OP :)

If you read I was drunk, you wouldn't be asking me this! I am a 60's child And I have seen the changes in English. I was born here but I remember https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simo_Häyhä What has that got to do where you have been born. Please stop this **** all I did was ask a question, wrong I can admit but just a question. There is no reason to attack a person on this forum for bad English. Get a life. I have one with a Swedish speaking Fin. I made her wait 10 years before marrying her. She had to know me. All my bad moods. Everything. Now considering I am on 31K with my bad "English" trust me and I will send you my email address as I am doing support UK government. This is NO boast but to let you know I have worked for Natwest, MS, Reuters, Citybank, Bartclays, etc. Can you get the message I was Drunk? And yes I am on holiday so drunk again.:(
Bored? I am.

Came in to read about GOW HD, damn that didn't go as I was expecting. Whole lot of folks on here need to get a grip of themselves!

Anyway, I didn't even realise this was out yet for PC.

Bought!!! You dont 'bruy' something; why would the past tense be "brought"?

I can't express the magnitude of how much this mistake irritates me! It's not a typo, or bad gramma. It's the wrong ****ing word!!! Do you verbally say "brought" instead of "bought" too?!?!

Oh damn! Might not the correct word but at least it's a real word. Be careful in those glass houses with your stones dude. ;)
 
The Ultimate Edition is not out yet on PC, therefore op has bought the old 'Games for windows' version not the remastered/dx12 version due out sometime this year

This was on Eurogamer 5 days ago:
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2015-the-making-of-gears-of-war-ultimate-edition

Digital Foundry: Ultimate Edition is coming to DX12 and Windows 10 - can you talk us through how the engine takes advantage of the new API?

Cam McRae: We are still hard at work optimising the game. DirectX 12 allows us much better control over the CPU load with heavily reduced driver overhead. Some of the overhead has been moved to the game where we can have control over it. Our main effort is in parallelising the rendering system to take advantage of multiple CPU cores. Command list creation and D3D resource creation are the big focus here. We're also pulling in optimisations from UE4 where possible, such as pipeline state object caching. On the GPU side, we've converted SSAO to make use of async compute and are exploring the same for other features, like MSAA.

Digital Foundry: It's been mentioned before that the PC version supports higher resolutions and frame-rates. Will there also be other anti-aliasing modes supported (MSAA, SMAA etc)? Better ambient occlusion, particle effects, shadow-map quality etc?

Cam McRae: We have put significant effort into making the Windows 10 version a showcase at 4K, geo and textures were re-authored with 4K in mind so the visual fidelity will really scale up on higher end hardware. We plan to uncap the frame-rate and will ship with a built-in benchmark mode. For anti-aliasing we'll support MSAA and FXAA.

Digital Foundry: On the flip-side, how low will the PC version scale down?

Cam McRae: While we haven't locked how far the game will scale down, it is important to us to ensure good performance (at least 30fps) on a variety of hardware. We will support a broad range of resolutions as well as a variety of graphics options for gamers to tweak their setup.

Nope it's a regional thing, nothing to do with a misspelling. I see it EVERYWHERE on forums, usually from people in East Anglia regions - obviously just slang etc.

I'm a geordie, what do I know...

So I made a typo... It's completely different. People always do this when one corrects the grammar of another. I would not pick out another's typo. This whole "brought" vs "bought" things is completely different; it grinds my gears. It's worse when we know that people that make the same mistake on paper, make it verbally also.

Oh and if I had a glass house I'd love it. Better than boring brick walls :D

You didn't bruy something; and you don't bing it home. You bought something; you brought it home.

Why don't you Goggle it.

No no, not interested. Your viewpoint and ideology on words and grammar has been rendered mute. You came in to a gaming thread to berate the OP for incorrect usage of a word and yet failed to check your own post for mistakes.

This is the pc gaming forum. We type words wrong and get over it. Take your pedantic ramblings back to GD. :p

Surprised this thread hasn't been locked yet!
 
pedantic
pɪˈdantɪk
adjective
excessively concerned with minor details or rules; overscrupulous.
"his analyses are careful and even painstaking, but never pedantic"
synonyms: overscrupulous, scrupulous, precise, exact, over-exacting, perfectionist, precisionist, punctilious, meticulous, fussy, fastidious, finical, finicky;
 
Instead of getting frustrated at OP's spelling, just reply in the same manner with those mistakes.

Personally I'm liking bruying, broughtining and brunging! :D
