PC Review - 'Gears of War' - 9.4/10

It's no surprise to anyone that Gears of War eventually made its way to the PC market, going by the title's successful run on the Xbox 360 and how often the PC gaming community has asked Microsoft for it. The PC port of Gears of War doesn't have an incredibly large list of differences or many new features from its console cousin, but despite the title's relative age, the gameplay proves that it simply doesn't need that crutch to attract PC gamers who are looking for a quality shooter this holiday season.

Since I played it on the 360 already, i think i will pass on the pc port.

Rice6018d ago

I wonder how Gears of War will play, using a keyboard and a mouse....

Antiomo6018d ago

The only guns I use are shutgun and machine gun.

Rarely used the famed chainsaw because I knockem dead before they even come close to me.

ps46018d ago

i have it and i use my 360 controler its da shzzt get its a must have play it on your hd tv your big screen.

TheIneffableBob6018d ago (Edited 6018d ago )

The game plays more smoothly and has better control, consequently making the game more fun. Also, due to the keyboard and mouse, the game is a little bit easier. On hard, during the parts where you face the Berserker, I died several times when I played the 360 version; on the PC, however, I didn't die once.

Personally, I'd score the game an 8.0/10.0.

sweeeeeeeeeeeet
Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this.

Stuart5756134d ago

Every article, console fanboy trite, all these years later. Let me explain it AGAIN, in simple terms for the fanboys. Sentient human gamers do have their preferred platform, however they will buy and own multiple platforms so they can enjoy the games they want to enjoy. I own and have owned multiple platforms, Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft and now Valve, simply to enjoy a wide range of games across a broad spectrum of platforms. It's great. You don't have to pick a 'team' and cheer them on through thick and thin, dissing the other 'team'. And for you 'VenomUK' to state 'Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this', proves that you're a bit behind. Learn, enjoy, live, develop, trust and coexist if you can, life is better that way.

@Stuart5756
Well said.
This is why i never understand fanboying over hardware. This is not like a sports team, its just hardware. Why some people have this mentality to pick a side and stick with it and refuse to look at other platforms, therefore depriving themselves of games that are only available on those platforms. They are suppose to be gamers after all?

FinalFantasyFanatic134d ago

It's practically guaranteed to come to PC as well, if that's the case, I might pick it up after it gets a discount or two.

TheEroica133d ago (Edited 133d ago )

Thank goodness for pro gamer companies like Microsoft.... It's about time we unified platforms where now only corporate suits benefit! Pro gamers all the way. Thanks Microsoft!

Yup ... bring Gears 2, 3 Judgement as well as Fable II and Halo 5 to PC

phoenixwing134d ago

Online portions would be a bonus.

FinalFantasyFanatic134d ago

I'm really shocked that Halo 5 still isn't on PC yet, almost everything is ported over and that's the only Halo game that hasn't been ported.

Profchaos134d ago

Take it with a grain of salt this leaker has been wrong many Times

The connection has been rumoured in the past so there's some credibility but it's more if it's actually in testing or not

Father__Merrin134d ago

tell u what gears 3 on series x same 360 game but in 4k and 60fps is a dream it looks crystal clear

Sciurus_vulgaris134d ago

The Series X enhanced versions of Gears 3 and Judgement can at times look like Xbox One titles.

Concertoine134d ago

Yeah i got into Gears 3 multiplayer last year. People still play it a lot. Tons of maps and looks great with the 60 FPS.

Brazz134d ago

It would be funny to see Gears of War collection on Nintendo Switch.

I'll Be Happy With Anything Gears of War, But Nothing Beats A 1-3 Remaster

Huzaifah from eXputer "With a new Gears of War game possible, I'll go ahead and say that the original trilogy was the peak of the series and should get remastered."

Wyesvin139d ago

I wish they would put 2 and 3 on pc

RaidenBlack138d ago

^ this
and judgement as well
Why not Remaster them and release them as Marcus Fenix Collection for PC and Series

phoenixwing138d ago (Edited 138d ago )

I would buy it. I sh1t on microsoft alot but their gears of War series I loved. Some great gameplay and if they would keep up the multiplayer I'd play that too.

CrimsonWing69139d ago

1-3 are incredible with each one being bigger and better than the last. I don’t know what it is, but 4 was super underwhelming to me and 5 was slightly better than 4, but I didn’t feel the same epic feeling I had when going through 1-3. I hope 6 brings that epicness back, but yea like a full remake of 1-3 with current-gen visuals would be *chef’s kiss*.

ocelot07138d ago

I was actually devastated with Gears 1 Remaster on Xbox and PC. From when the OG released in 2006 right up until Gears 2 released a few years later. Me and a small group of friends would play it almost daily.

When the remaster arrived. It was annoying that they changed the way you could find a create games. The PC version was dead on arrival as it didn't release on steam just the crappy windows store so about 7 people (including me) bought it. I think I managed to find about 5 games in the first week of release. After that it was just a ghost town.

Not sure about Xbox version. Didn't actually try it until I got a series s in late 2022. It was completely dead online.

chicken_in_the_corn138d ago

A new game would be best. I don't understand why gamers want to rebuy old games over something new.

Juiceid138d ago

It an excuse to revisit something you loved a long time, and it’s prettier and shinier!

raWfodog138d ago

Yeah, new game is always better in my book but remake/remaster is definitely a good runner-up.

franwex138d ago (Edited 138d ago )

Agreed. The old games are there anyway.

I went back and played them all again in anticipation of Gears 5 with a friend and they hold up really well. In fact, they were more fun than the recent ones in some ways.

neutralgamer1992138d ago

we need all gears of war games on steam please
