After installing it does ;) https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3194496...however you will be pleased ;) to discover the installer uses state of the art Win 3.11 & Dos 5.0 technology as DRM so it takes a while to download & install :(

Pro tip if like many you are not able to download the game after pausing the crappy Windows store download :eek: You have to download the entire 73.3Gb in 1 go without pausing it then its possible otherwise be prepared for frustration as it appears the Win 10 store does not currently have a working pause button due to MS utter lack of QA regarding their own store :rolleyes:

I spent days trying to download & grabbed around 100Gb on several failed attempts where I paused the download then today left the PC on for 4.5 hours & it successfully downloaded all 73.3Gb in 1 attempt.

Good DRM from MS actually not letting many people even download the game they paid for :rolleyes: along with the Win 10 locked to 1 Xbox account DRM & the EFF file encryption DRM which unlocks on the fly as you play it (same DRM schemes used on the new Forza Win 10 game).

Game does look seriously good graphically though but screenshots do not do it justice you have to look closely at some of the PC in game videos released :)

Also if you bought the Ultimate edition of this game its unlocked for you on the 7th October 4 days before the release date for the other versions of the game!

Only the £79.99 Ultimate Edition is playable now as a pre-order bonus the others do not unlock until 11th October.

The game also uses an MS on the fly DRM called EFF which can take a while to decrypt the game files.

You also need all the latest Win 10 patches & updates installed on your PC.

Prices are disgusting. 50 quid for the base game but because you didn't pay 80 quid we're gonna make you sit and wait while the 80 quidders play it first.


What a bunch of *****

I agree but for most players the game is free if you bought a GTX 1070\80 like I did recently so I cannot say anything.

To be fair the game probably did cost a lot of money to make so I can understand the £49.99 price point as sales will be low outside the Nvidia promotion. A lot of people will never buy on PC due to Windows Store hassle alone like you have to download the entire 73.3Gb in 1 go without pausing otherwise the windows store resets your download to zero again!

Weird must be a glitch but its not working in US or Canada either is your Windows Internet clock correct & do you have ALL Win 10 updates as it depends on those as well.

Ok game looks very pretty in places when it unleashes what the Unreal Engine 4 can do but also has a very dated artwork style in others & some very boring generic pre-rendered movies. Gameplay wise its more or less the exact same gameplay as GOW1 circa 2006 no real progression made in that respect.

Overall its playable but pretty safe + generic most of the time I struggled to play for more than an hour or so due to extreme boredom its just so dated & generic most of the time gameplay wise I do not know if I am ever going to return to it to complete as I really struggled to play through chapters 1,2,3 & I also got it free with my GPU but still struggling to find the motivation to play so I can then delete & free up the HD space used.
