~5 hours game play + quite repetative/dull
No editor as they want more $ from dlcs

What reviews have you read? It's getting exceptional reviews or do you just want to hate it?

AWPC all you ever seem to do on here is plug GFWL and its games. I'd say you were working for Microsoft, but they were always pretty picky about who they hired :p

Thats ok I am picky about who I work for anyway ;) but I have no connection with anyone in the gaming industry whatsoever I am just another ordinary PC gamer like everyone else.

I cannot see why so many hate GFWL it does not deserve the hate/rep it has, most of the issues some gamers get are related to their own PC security settings stopping GFWL from working properly so its a bit strange when GFWL gets the blame for something it cannot possibly have implemented in the first place. Been using GFWL since it launched in 2007 & have almost every GFWL game + never had any major problems other than the odd corrupt patch which Steam games also get from time to time.

All I am interested in is the PC getting as many of the big budget games as possible & GFWL actually makes this more likely as it uses SSA to ensure that only legit copies are playable online so that means more PC sales which hopefully translates to more PC interest from the publishers as PC offers them a much higher profit margin than console games so if they can sell well on PC it means a better future for all PC gamers ;) (even the ones who hate GFWL!!!!)

Most of the GFWL hate comes from how it now stops the pirates from playing MP/Co-Op online so they have to buy the game since Sept 2009 when SSA was implemented not a single PC game which uses SSA is playable outside of SP mode & even then the SP mode may have corrupt saves or no saves whatsoever. Its usually a dead giveaway when players moan about GFWL not saving properly................

The Twitter people say the offer is US/Canada only? Or is that just until Friday?

I just asked them as it looks like the offer is not outside North America which is a little unfair on the EU when we are the biggest PC gamers in the world!!!
 
Only issue I have with gfwl is that the games tend to be overpriced, new releases are usually comparable with steam but older games are too expensive, for example tomb raider legend was on there for £15 :eek: and its a ancient game.

Never had any problems actually using the service :)
 
Friend in the US who has played it didn't rate it well for a PC port - said lots of issues over resolution/letterboxing, poor controls, still has aim assist on the mouse? wtf? and several major issues with the UI not working on the PC like it does on console.

You will never lose save games as they are stored on your PC unless you are not signed into GFWL or it drops your connection

I have to disagree. When GoW came out for the PC I picked it up in a sale just afterwards. Can't argue with the quality of the game, but there was huge issue regarding save games that would delete themselves. To this day I've never gotten more than a few hours into it because of that. There was a huge 100k+ thread over on the developers Epic forums about GFWL and Epic completely failing the PC community, refusing to admit there was a problem.

This is probably a stupid question... but did they ever fix the thing that wasn't broken?

This issue also affects the 360 version I had it happen to me on both versions. Epic/PCF never fixed it as they say they could not repeat the problem in a QA lab (which is pure lazy developer BS AFAIC).

It was also confirmed that if you change your PC NIC to LAN from wireless or vice versa & or you change network drivers after installing GOW you will also lose all save progress. Which again is crazy & this is because Epic/PCF put in an anti-cheat mechanism into GOW which is sensitive to any Network Card changes. I think they were very harsh with this as many people lost save game progress. Instead of spending so long on anti-cheat tools they should concentrate more on the actual coding/gameplay IMO.......
