Well what a crock of pants - seriously, who gave this game 90%+?? Oh thats right the main games magazines that simply MUST sit in the pockets of microsoft. I swear to god, PC's can do so much more than this game offers, its the SAME graphics all the way through, dreadful AI, same same same gun fights everywhere you go, crap voice acting, tearing all over the place, crappy sluggish controls and orgins derived from the backside of a console for which this game would only ever be suitable.

I bought this game having read reviews and its gash. The gashiest gash of gashdom. Surely, surely people agree! Its the most blaitant port of pants ive seen in a while. God i hope the new GTA doesnt blow this hard.
 
It's not that bad a port - at least it works..mostly...

The saving grace for it is the co-op multiplayer. That kind of thing can improve even the most pleb-tastic of games.

GoW is an awesome game on the 360 at least .. what could they of done on the PC Port to make it so terrible?

my point is that its a horribly limited game which would only be suitable on console - not PC - pc gaming is so much more versatile. Gears of War is just totally the same all the way through - in my opinion.
 
Can it be as bad a port as Assassin's Creed?

Edit: Which i took back to the stupid shop and demanded a refund. They said they can't take them back after they've been opened, but by god.. they took mine back.
 
I thought the graphics were decent throughout the game, you cant really say the underground mine level is the same as the streets, or the prison or the streets of Kryll.. They do vary but theres a certain style to them. Yeah the gameplay doesnt differ much but like most games it sticks to a genre. The voice acting isnt crap IMO, its certainly a lot better than say the resident evil efforts, cant think of any standout bad voice acting tbh.

Its not really a bad port of the game, it pretty much does what it did on the xbox 360 very well (ok in my experience the only problem I had was with refresh rates in vista 64bit but then there are limitless configs out there and therefore limitless problems that can occur).

I enjoyed the game enough to play through it once and may well play through it again in co-op mode with my bro for a laugh and online too :)

Expect the new GTA PC version to be the much the same as the xbox 360 version... and all the previous versions albeit with better graphics but pretty similar gameplay... Ports are never really going to change much from the originals gameplay wise, thats why theyre called ports... If you dont want to play a console game then i guess you should stay clear of ports really..

The first time I played it on the PC I thought it was rubbish. But I got a 360 controller and thought I'd give it another bash. The first part was still rubbish but then I really got into the game and thought it was superb - certainly much better than Assassins Creed (one of the worst bug ridden games I've played - apart from AoC but thats another story).

It certainly beats 90% all the same old games out there at the moment (by same old game I mean there's no imagination - everything has to be a FPS - hell there was more imagination on my old C64!)

Its third person though and it plays fine with the mouse set-up...

I've played it with both and normally *hate* using a control pad to play FPS games...but in Gears of War it actually improved the gameplay by quite a bit.

edit: It's more hybrid third person/first person in terms of gameplay, even if the viewpoint strictly comes under the definition of third person.
 
gears of war is all hype
the only reason it was so big on console is due to the mint graphics

because 99% of the console gaming public have never seen a good game running on a top end pc to compare it to

Don't get your hopes up, all the 10/10 reviews were completely unfounded.
