Gears of War (pc)

Only reason I enjoy Live is because I own a 360. If I didn't, I'd probably hate it as much as everyone else.

I should be buying the game in the next week or so, but I suppose I can make a reference to UT3 as a reference to the engine's abilities. Indeed, it is the shit. I can only imagine the sexiness on DX10.

Since this game's editor actually incorporates sound, I'll probably stop working with H2V once I get this. If there's a GoW map team that needs me, just holler. Pretty please? =D

I totally agree with you, but my dad pays for my live So im happy.

No one gives a shit about kiddies whose parents buy shit for them. The people complaining about Live are the people, like me, who pay out of pocket for their own games and don't appreciate having to pay extra for features that are already free in the vast majority of PC games.

You PC gamers sure are ungrateful. You should thank your lucky stars every day that Microsoft brought the wonderness that is Live to the shitty PC platform.

Xbox Live

Aha your insane

Am I the only one who has to wait over 30 minutes for this game to install?

so u think that once you've supported microsoft dilligently untill the Live service becomes the dominant form of multiplayer they will be obligated to keep it "not expensive".


It's MS ffs. give them an Inch and they will run the world.
just try and think about the future ok. Live will only get more expensive, and once it becomes another of there monopoly's u wont have a choice.

Hey, all i did was activate a gold trial when halo 2 came out, and i never ended it, he forgot, and continued paying for it.

My parents buy nothing for me NOTHING, i get a christmas present, birthday present from them THATS IT. Ehh.. except when my mom bought me BF2142 and Rainbow Six: Vegas, thats for getting a good report card..which i rarely get. Im around a D student.

I agree that the features are way over priced for PC owners (those who own pcs but no xbox). How is the fact that you have to pay $8 a month justify the ability to use a player stat biased "quick join" feature. I don't even consider that a service, its just a simple software solution that choses a server with players with around your own stats; its sort of like auto joining the server with the lowest ping. Theres also those little "achievement points" but thats just a silly gimmick and not even worth advertising. It pointless to sell such needless and petty "services" if all its going to do is irritate players with pop ups asking "upgrade to gold to get this feature" like in H2V.

I think its slow but steady plan to sucker pc gamers into the notion of paying recurring fees for basic online multiplayer like they have suckered the naive console gamers whom this notion of online multiplayer has been alien to them therefore charging for it was no immediate shock. However pulling such a stunt, which they apparently ultimately seek to do with games for windows live, on the pc will require some long term conditioning. First they start with small feature, like quick-join and achievements, then in the next generation of titles after pc gamers start accept the idea of paying for online multiplayer, kick in some more important features such as voice communication, and fewer "free servers" with the gold price tag, and by the time it becomes more mainstream, just take every possible aspect of online multiplayer and attach it to the gold exclusive package just like on the xbox.

I pity the fool who will eventually fall for this games for windows live scheme, and those who already have.
