I'm sorry but as much as I'd like to like the game, I'm just not feeling it. I'll admit, I only played the Xbox 360 version for about 30 minutes and so only played like one level, it really didn't impress me. Idk, maybe games like CoD4 and Crysis are overshadowing it for me but does anyone else feel this way? I mean, when GoW first came out, every 360 owner was like "ZOMG!! Gears of War!!!" But maybe us PC gamers are used to better games ;) What do you guys think?

Unless it's completely redone for the PC then it will just be considered a simple port. In my experiences, ports suck.

Exactly! the point is, there are sooo many good games coming out in the near future (especially november) that if you're on a budget, you have to be selective and right now GoW (for me) doesn't make the cut.

How about GoW on PC using Mouse and Keyboard? I think it'd be awesome. I'm hyped for it as Gears was one of the games I wanted a 360 for. Now that it's coming to PC I can remain a hermit ;p

Epic has had a good history in making pc games in the past, so I am guessing they will do a good job with the port. But, considereing its only like a 5-6 hour long game, I will probably wait till it goes bargain-bin before buying (and after upgrading my comp of course).

I played through it on the 360 in co-op. While it was fun, GeoW isn't a game I would pay full price to play again in singleplayer. If it has online co-op, I may buy it for $20 down the road to check out the new chapter.

Yeah, ill check out the demo too. I played it multiplayer on the 360, and although the graphics where great, the gameplay was a little underwhelming. Or maybe thats just me. I can't use controllers.

I can't imagine it to actually be fun to play on a PC. It's just too simple.. It's missing something.

GOW to me has a serious case of consolitis. While the port is supposed to add a new chapter or a new series of levels, it still is a very short game. in addition, the game also has the silly windows live requirement to play online, and i cant see that really being used all that much, especially when compared to the other shooters coming out this fall with better multiplayer.

Well regardless, I really hope it doesn't suck. I enjoyed it on the Xbox 360, but I've become disabled/handicapped when it comes to the Xbox 360's controller, or ANY console controller for that matter. My mouse and keyboard are like extra limbs, and I like it that way.

Gears of War on the PC looks satisfyingly fast paced, as the Xbox's version didn't feel very fast paced at all. My decision to buy this game or not ultimately come down to it's ratings and reviews.

I wonder if the xbox 360 controller will be optimised for windows as badly as it was for Halo 2, giving controller users a silly advantage in multiplayer.

Oh My God!!! For a second there, upon reading the thread title, I thought God of War was coming to PC!!!

Don't do that to me!

As pc gamers, we're pretty much spoiled when it comes to shooters. When I saw Gears the first time I thought it looked like just another shooter, certainly not competition for halflife 2 or even F.E.A.R. to be honest. I figured I might pick it up when it hits the $19.95 rack, but excited? lol, hell no.

Epic and M$ to stop porting 360 games to the PC and start making some PC exclusives IMO.

GoW for 360 was awesome. Probably the best game for that platform. Coop was awesome. But I'm not buying another copy just to play on the PC.

Why did you think it was just another shooter? It's not an FPS so I don't think it can be compared to other FPSs. It's a 3rd-person shooter that uses a cover system. Nothing new, but a cover system isn't used that much in 3rd person shooters...on the PC anyway.

there were very few console games tht i always wished to play on the pc...sometime back it was GoW. i havent played the game at all but by just looking at the gameplay movies i had this urge of playing this game. i am happy that this game is coming out on pc but rite now the only game tht is on my mind is crysis.ooh yeah...the other game i wish came out on pc is the new metal gear. i have played all the metal gear series but this one looks good. if it doesnt make it to the pc....ahh well it really doesnt matter coz i will have crysis and far cry2 by tht time.

I'm not a console gamer. I spent the weekend with relatives that have a 360 with GoW... We beat it co-op on every level. The PC version is going to have a 5th chapter and more multiplayer modes. Yes, I'm getting it and I am looking forward to it. It was a blast.

30 minutes? You're not actually qualified to comment in that case. Come back when you have played through the first couple of chapters.

I got enough of it on the 360 so there really is little incentive for me to play it on PC. Matter of fact, Epic probably owes me money considering how short the game is.

Honestly... Gears sucked for the 360 anyway. It is more overhyped than Halo imho. Just pretty graphics with very, very, very, mediocre game-play.

I am not...but only becuase I own it on the XBox 360. For those who say they are passing it up, but never played it (or only for a short time), your loss. It's a fantastic game..

i'm kinda looking forward to gow, i find the single player boring - but it's one of my all-time favourite coop games - and once the mod community gets in there, we could see some awesome stuff

a 40k mod, anyone?

if someone could tweak the ai to respond a little more to suppressive fire (by being suppressed, bia style), then the move-and-fire two man leapfrogging from cover that people tend to do would be about a billion times better

it's really not an A list game on the pc, especially compared with some of the games it's competing with, but sure, i'm looking forward to trying out coop on pc

I think it would be better with a controller, but honestly I think it can work. Rainbow 6 Vegas has alot of the same mechanics, and it works out very well on the KB&M.
