Gears of War: Ultimate Edition for Windows 10

Fantastic game. So when is the rest of the series coming to Windows 10? Also when is the Master Chief collection going to be released, Microsoft? Please make it happen. It just makes sense, doesn't it?

More optimized, if anyone is having the 0x80070015 error then you need to completely disable any virtual drives you have mounted, this is really annoying. Microsoft the windows store is crap PLEASE move your triple a stuff over to a separate platform, I don't care if you create an Xbox platform for the PC just make it more functional like steam or even Uplay please. No other PC platforms have the ridiculous issues that the windows store does and you guys created this operating system yet you can't even make your own platform function properly like other people can, that's really sad.

Granted I am not a multiplayer gamer, I am just reviewing the campaign. I remember playing the original on Xbox 360 and its sequels. They were excellent for their time. This game feels polished in a many regards and graphics that honestly could pass for a AAA title released in 2016. Overall if you have a decent rig and love shooters, this game is top notch.

This game is pretty fantastic and for it to come to PC is a an ultimate dream. It runs pretty well, graphics are definitely improved from Xbox and overall, it's still a great game. Though I would highly recommend a controller but still very playable without one. Just keep in mind that the multiplayer isn't as popular. You may have a hard time getting a game going. Co-op is excellent and had no issues when playing.

With the newest patch fixing the GSYNC issue, I now have no complaints about the quality of this port. The performance is great, the graphics are great, and the game itself is just as great as it was when it was first released back in 2006. --- original text below this line --- With GSYNC enabled, all pre-rendered content runs at around 1 fps, meaning that things like the intro videos, cutscenes, and loading screens take 30 times longer to finish. The only solution for this issue currently is to alt-enter the game into windowed mode (which will disable GSYNC by default) or just disable GSYNC entirely, which is not at all ideal given the game's highly variable refresh rate.

Gears of War is a great series, and I loved the fact that they made a remastered version of the first game! I was worried about this not running well on my gaming laptop, because even though it's newer, I don't have the world's best graphics card. It's extremely fast, and the graphics are amazing! The game does take forever to download, and waiting for an online game takes forever, but it's definitely worth it in the end.

Pros: -Awesome 3rd-person shooter game -Great plot -Supports DirectX12 (only in Windows 10) -$10 cheaper than Xbox One version when it first came out Cons: -Frame hiccups -Noticeable bugs & glitches -Game doesn't support exclusive full-screen mode -Games fail to stream all textures such as character models, objects, terrains, etc., regardless of Video Memory availability -Games need to be optimized correctly -Performance issues -Not available on Steam -Need more graphics options to disable Depth of Field, SSAA, Tessellation, etc. for lower-end graphics cards -Not available on Steam since Microsoft Studios owns The Coalition make game exclusive on Windows 10 Store -Driver-related issue Conclusion: Both AMD/NVIDIA needs to communicate with Microsoft along with The Coalition developer to optimize the game correctly with excellent coding. Also, the game is still stuck in windowed borderless mode. So please develop the patch and hotfix as quickly as possible.
