    Horrible PC version, pop-in everywhere, frequent crashes, requires W10 store, nobody online. For several days I even had trouble running it at all. I'd like to say I'm surprised, but I'm not.

    Has to be installed through the horrible Windows Store.
    Single player performance is abysmal. Multi-Player runs pretty good, but i bought it for the campaign and it is unplayable even on a GTX 970. Settings don't make a difference. Runs like garbage on all settings. Never buying another title off the windows store ever again.

    Absolute disgrace, owned the Xbox one version and wanted to see it with better visuals on PC but it was a complete mess, sound was distorted, constant frame drops and terrible multiplayer connections. Stay clear of this garbage.

    A remake of the first major 3rd-person cover-based shooter.

    [PRESENTATION = 2
    (Graphics = 3) Gears of War always looked good, especially on PC with 1080p resolution. Ultimate Edition is identical; you’d have to have a side-by-side comparison to notice the differences.
    (Visual aesthetics = 2) You’re a gray-armored character in a gray environment fighting light-gray enemies. The occasional glowing yellow lava sticks out because of the surrounding gloom. Call it “enemy camouflage,” but it lacks variety. The visual clutter hasn’t improved. Epic’s better shooter, the Unreal Tournament series, managed to be bright and colorful, so what’s up here?
    (Sound Effects = 8)
    (Voice Acting = 8)
    (Physics = 8) Ragdolls, blood spurts, and body parts exploding into gibs when blasted or sawed in half.
    (Plot = 1) As with many games, plot is just an excuse to move between setpieces. But I always loathed that in every level your character would put his finger to his ear and slow-walk while the game force-fed you unskippable exposition. Cutscenes were actually less aggravating. Never make dialogue or cutscenes unskippable; if they’re good, we’ll watch them, if we’re replaying the game for the third time, let us play instead.

    [CONTROLS/MECHANICS = 7]
    Aiming and running is smooth. The cover-based combat still holds up, I mean, it would have to, right, given that it took over shooters the same Batman:Arkham scheme took over all subsequent melee combat games?
    The “active reload” minigame that offers an opportunity to boost firepower at the risk of longer reload time adds a lot.
    I like that it switches to “tank” control (left/right turn instead of strafe) while you hold down “B” for the chainsaw, because it would have been too hard to also move the right joystick with the right hand. I dislike the unreliability of the chainsaw bayonet, which led to dying when it failed to operate on command.
    I never liked the Halo-style limit of only carrying 4 guns. In Halo it arguably works because there’s some strategy involved in switching mid-battle. There’s no strategy in GoW: 3 of weapons are permanent (the Lancer since it’s better than the submachine gun, the revolver since it’s the best pistol, and the grenades). The remaining slot is reserved for the only gun with available ammo, presented lying out in the open when it’s time to switch. Why bother pretending that we have a choice? The Hammer-of-Dawn superweapon takes up the pistol slot, but you only use it 4 times, and each time it’s used once, then replaced. Why not let us switch between all 8 weapons so we’d have options?
    Other than the submachine gun, weapons all work well: sniper, shotgun, explosive crossbow.

    DESIGN = 2
    (Level Design = 7) I dislike that several levels have you split into left paths or right paths, because you shouldn’t be forced to have to replay a game to see everything.
    (Difficulty Curve = 3) The purpose of recharging health is to allow players to self-calibrate difficulty. Better players charge ahead, worse players take more rest breaks behind cover. But to keep up the difficulty, GoW starts throwing enemies that one-shot-kill in the final third, and it’s frustrating to spend 10-20 minutes clearing an area only to be killed in 1 second. The aggravation discouraged me from experimenting with tactics.
    (Modes = Singleplayer, Multiplayer) As with the original pc release, the pc version of GoW:UE lacks the splitscreen cooperative game mode its console has. I have fond memories of beating the Xbox360 version twice with my friend.
    I really really really hate when developers do this to ports. Splitscreen has already been coded, PCs have more power than consoles, so why kneecap the port by actively removing something? I don’t buy the explanation that pc is harder to standardize, because the game engine is already working on pc. And I don’t buy that it discourages piracy, because making a product intentionally less appealing discourages legitimate buyers more.
    And I certainly don’t buy that pc gamers don’t play locally, because I do, all the time. 4 wireless Logitech controllers, an HDMI cable, and my school’s bigscreen tv in the student center and, bam, we’re playing splitscreen Unreal Tournament 3. And frankly, it’s easier to set up on my laptop that it’s been on any console since the Nintendo 64.
    (Length = 8 hours, 10% padding)

    CONCLUSION
    This is a rerelease that offers nothing but an un-noticeable graphic upgrade, at a cost of more than 4 times the price and adoption of the Windows 10 store monopoly. It might have been worth it had they added back local co-op. While I hold personal animosity towards the GoW franchise for diverting Epic Games away from developing Unreal Tournament games, the original Gears of War 1 still holds up and would have been a 9/10 at the time of release. But as a full-priced game 9 years later, Ultimate Edition must be judged against modern shooters. So I recommend buying the 2006 PC games-for-windows-live release instead.    … Expand

    It doesn't use more than 50% of any core on my 3770k and my 980ti usage isnt even maxed out when the FPS drops, nor is my disk usage. No idea why FPS is so unstable but I would avoid it for now if you have an Nvidia card at least until a patch or new driver is out.    … Expand

    Visually the game looks gorgeous, it is an enhancement of the original 360 version, i've seen some screenshots and gameplay from the orginal version and the difference is huge!!!! really huge... what surprised me the most is that it was build using the Unreal 3 Engine the same from the original. The cutscenes are well made and i rally enjoyed watching them.
    The overall gameplay from combat to cover system is responsive and fluent without delays or controls that sometimes refuse to work.
    Now what the game got really wrong and makes it far from being a perfect enhanced edition it's the poor AI support and terrible performance.
    The poor AI is annoying, Friendly AI will constantly refuse to take orders and most of the time they will stare at a wall without moving, you will be moving through the level and when you turn your back they will not be there, unless you reach a checkpoint that will make them respawn near you, this happens more ofter in open area levels, in close levels like interiors or alleys they will be more useful but they will obviously still carry some defects.
    Now the performance... even if you have a best of a machine the game will struggle to maintain a solid fps , even reaching 60 fps can be hard, there are a couple of thing that you can make to encrease a bit the frames like, playing with the vertical sync disable and disbale shadows, but turning the shadows off will affect the game's presentation and even still the game will have some frame drops here and there.

Me gustaría decir que la sensaciones que me ha dejado el juego no están muy lejos de aquella decepcionante primera impresión que me dejo Gears Of War 4. En si esta adaptación cuenta con algunos problemas de rendimiento que no se justifican. La historia y personajes pueden ser lo mas interesante del juego aunque en situaciones concretas se hace un poco lenta y algo desmedida. Pero en la saga Gears Of War se nota claramente cual es su mayor defecto. La repetición absurda y falta de variación que tiene en todas sus entregas. Se puede llegar a compensar un poco con la frenética acción que hay en los combates pero no llega a justificar la cantidad de elementos y escenarios que se repiten de manera desmedida. Esto hace que tenga en mi opinión un ritmo mas lento del que intenta llevar el juego y que en muchas ocasiones te haga sentir abrumado y poco interesado. En si Gears Of War no me convence en mucho sentidos. Es meramente un videojuego de disparos y acción frenética que consigue entretener pero no hacer nada mas de ello.… Expand

    Being able to aim properly with a mouse makes this far more enjoyable compared to playing on console. High res textures and neat architecture makes the environments enjoyable. Overall a tight and enjoyable third person shooter with good pacing, music and likeably schlocky dialogue.

    Graficos e jogabilidade melhores do que o original.
    Joguei no gamepass pc e as vezes tem queda de flames, isso é meio ridiculo por que o 4 e o 5 roda aqui no ultra liso, liso.

    Neden bu kadar gömüldü kullanıcılar tarafından anlamadım .Arada sırada optimizasyon problemleri olan bir oyun ama ilk sürümüne göre efsaneydi.Genel olarakta beğendiğim bir oyun.

    mesmo sendo um remaster, ele tem a performance péssima no pc, o jogo em sí é divertido

    I liked it. Gears of War has always been the most interesting XBOX franchise for me, and I enjoy de plot and characters. That being said, this game is very trashy when we talk about the difficulty scalling. It is one of those where the enemies just turn itself to bullet sponges instead of delivering a pleasant challenge when you turn up the difficulty.

    It is an incredible game, but the PC port is horrible, it gives low FPS in many moments played with a 1660 super, 16 gb ram, ryzen 5 3600

    Para alguém que não joga tantos jogos FPS, eu gostei bastante até a metade, maaas, depois de um tempo jogando, acabei achando bem chato... Os gráficos são bonitos, a gameplay é boa também, mas FPS realmente não é pra mim, acho super enjoativo.

    Great remaster of a real action classic. The timeless gameplay mechanics still work in 2016.

    This is what remaster should look like. Mechanically it feels slightly outdated, but nonetheless Lancer and Chainsaw Bayonet keep your adrenaline pumping – even without splitscreen co-op.

    Gears of War: Ultimate Edition is a great game, but only on Xbox One. The PC edition is troublesome beyond belief. I had to face failing Windows Store download, abysmal performance (so much for the Full HD, not to mention 4K...) and lots of different technical issues ranging from missing textures to game quitting unexpectedly.
