Soak it up, ladies and gents, because this is about the closest Shacknews will ever come to posting about video game-based pastries.

Looking forward to the PC version. GoW1 PC was fantastic.

Mike Capps: "I think its bullshit. What we did was take a great game, Gears of War 1 for Xbox 360, made it run at higher resolutions and added three new hours of really good gameplay and it got lower reviews. I think that's bullshit, and I don't understand it. I can't figure out what it is."

1 word. GFWL.
Fuck you Microsoft, fuck you right in the goddamn ear!!!-
In more ways than one. Not just GFWL's awful user experience, but Epic forgot to timestamp the code signing certificate, which made the game unplayable on January 28, 2009, until they released a patch to fix it: http://www.shacknews.com/article/56998/y2k9-bug-strikes-gears-of
It took 11 days to fix: http://www.shacknews.com/article/57145/gears-of-war-pc-patch
Gears PC also had bad mousecode; for a PC shooter (yes, even third-person), that will definitely get your review score down.

If they brought Gears 1 to Steam, it would be a PC franchise as well by now.

I really wish the Gears games would try less hard. The whole thing works so much better if you strip out any sort of story or context whatsoever, and just play it for the fun-as-hell shooter it is, but they want to cram a ton of bro-tacular bro-stories to fistbump and chug beers to, seemingly thinking they built something worth investing in emotionally, or even take seriously while tuning out. It just... pisses me off. I can't not pay attention to what I'm given, yet the story in Gears is worse than no story at all.
Still, if it's anything like the previous two, and I have every reason to trust it'll be at least that good, it'll be pretty goddamn fun to play.
Cliffy, if you're reading this please: stick with making the absolutely great games you seem to have an effortless, natural talent for, and do whatever you can to stay as far away from building fiction as is possible.-
Hmm, I like the story. It could be that I'm a scifi junkie but I'll take damn near any scifi action game.

It's still good action under the annoying skin.

Never quite finished GoW2. Got to the last boss fight, died several times trying to figure out the trick to beating him and never went back. Maybe one of these days. ...

Not sure. I'm in a large hall with columns and a boss monster is diving and rolling all over the place while causing the columns to fall on us. Maybe that's not even the end? Too bad, I was hoping it would be over after that.
