If you pre-ordered the Ultimate Edition of Gears of War 4, you now have early access to the game, 4 days early. The download is 54 GB though, so clear some hard drive space. I know I'll be playing it once I get home from work today.

My installation is finally done after around 4 hours. I've played the prologue, and so far it's AMAZING.

Many game journalist websites claim that this time around the PC port is flawless. Okay, good sign there (assuming it actually is flawless on a machine with something less than 32GB of ram and a gtx 1080, as they always review stuff on sub-NASA grade PCs).

Okay, good sign there (assuming it actually is flawless on a machine with something less than 32GB of ram and a gtx 1080, as they always review stuff on sub-NASA grade PCs). One specific reviewer I've seen played it on an Intel 4790k 4GHz CPU with a GTX 1080 and 16GB of VRAM and averaged around 90 frames per second with everything turned up all the way @ 1080p. At 4k max settings, it drops to an average of 40 FPS. Of course, this is a really good PC setup, but hopefully it gives some idea as to performance.

Oy vey, the multiplayer for this game is so buttery smooth, it's incredible. Everything from the movement to the gunplay is just perfect, it may truly be the best Gears MP experience.

As long as the MP replicates the BETA, that's all I care about tbh.
I was a big GOW 2 / 3 player in my day. Those were good times.

I never played GoW 1 MP, simply because back in the day I had a shitty dial-up internet connection, also at that time I was 100% not into multiplayer games. I need to see some more videos about the MP in this one, I saw one or 2 and honestly didn't quite dig the MP, it's a personal think I guess. I know that theoretically ME3 MP was like a rip off of GoW horde mode anyways... but I don't know, I just felt in love with ME3 MP I guess.

I remember the beta being quite stuttery and not actually locked to 60FPS. The full game's multiplayer IS at 60FPS and runs silky smooth. It's already better than vanilla GoW3.

Gears of War 3 and 4 Horde mode fucking curb stomps ME3's multiplayer into the dirt, especially 4's with the new features and improvements. Here is a video from a pretty good Gears player showcasing one of the new modes:

Well, unfortunately there's no way on hell I'm buying the game. It costs a fuckton of money in my country and it can only be done through the stupid windows store (GG microsoft). The regular version costs literally like two games. Fucking absurd.

No, I'm from south america (Argentina). Much, much worse... This game in particular is costing about 120 US dollars, and that's for the regular version; and we don't get paid in US dollars here, so is far worse than it sounds. Bloody fucking ridiculous.

This thread made me buy Gears of War Ultimate Edition for Windows 10 and I dont regret a thing. Finished the campaign, and I have to say... Holy shit. So much interesting spoiler discussion. So it's a good campaign in your opinion? Reviews wailed about the lackluster story, but eh, game journalism... Since I play on PC, I only know the first GoW. Do I need to play GoW 2 and 3 to understand what the hell is going on in 4?

Do I need to play GoW 2 and 3 to understand what the hell is going on in 4? It may be my favorite campaign for the series thus far. Playing 2 and 3 certainly help since there are some characters returning from those games who aren't in 1 (and some characters who died in those games who WERE in 1), but not totally necessary, I would say. The game is a proper sequel in that it builds off of the previous games' stories and continuity, but it's separate enough that you don't NEED to have played the prior games. There are 3 particular story twists though that only people who have played Gears 3 will understand though, 1 of said twists happening right at the very end and being a huge spoiler.

Thanks man, that helps a lot. Gears 4 looks damn sweet from where I'm sitting, and I'll just kill Raam one more time while I ponder what to do about Gears 2 and 3 in the meanwhile...

Got Gears 4 on PC yesterday, and it plays and runs wonderfully. I may or may not get Gears 1 UE on PC depending on whether they addressed the issues or not.

As o Ventus said, Gears4 has a great campaign. Probably my favourite since GOW2. But now that I'm done with the SP, I can finally feel free to Gnasher MP newbies in the face

I think UE is okay now after several patches, but at launch it was downright unplayable with broken lobbies and tons of bugs and crashes. The PC version of 4 is better and more stable, but UE isn't a broken mess anymore.

The PC version of 4 is better and more stable, but UE isn't a broken mess anymore. Good to hear, I'll be able to get it cheaper thanks to xbox creds courtesy of my long time pal, Bing. I also noticed that it contains the Brumak boss fight from the original PC version of Gears 1, which is rather nice. Now if only we can get a Gears 2 UE on PC with the cut stealth segment patched into it...

But now that I'm done with the SP, I can finally feel free to Gnasher MP newbies in the face If anyone's playing on Xbone I will see you out there. I was disappointed by the lack of arcade campaign like was in GoW3, but I'll manage without it. It is super fun going through on insane difficulty with super reload though. My gamertag on XBL is the same as my BSN name here, o Ventus, if you want to play. I have a temporary communication ban though until the 17th for "harassing or hateful speech" (despite never communicating with people in-game and being in party chat 99% of the time, but I digress), so I can't use voice chat until then.

It ends on a bit of a cliffhanger, but the ending leaves a lot of fun speculation to be had. Also, Sam in Gears 3 was my waifu, and she's still lookin' fiiiiine, even 25 years later. I don't have her unlocked for the MP though, so I can't bask in her glorious snark just yet, but I have Kait to tide me over in the meantime.

Her dynamic with Baird in 3 was one of the best parts of the game.

Finished 4's campaign just now on hardcore and managed to nab 34 of 50 collectibles(will collect the rest in time). Pretty fun game. Ending was pretty interesting too Kait is Myrrah's granddaughter apparently, and will likely be sought after by the Swarm for her lineage given Reyna's death.
