Giantbomb: The campaign has aged pretty poorly and the graphical updates to the campaign side of Gears of War feel half-baked, so unless you're really excited for the competitive part of Gears of War, there's nothing for you here.
Legend has it that this list of the best Xbox One Co-Op games is so good, it may require four people to fully enjoy.
Daily Video Game writes: "CDKeys is featuring various digital titles on sale with huge discounts for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC gamers right now! The savings vary depending on what game you want to purchase, but you could save up to 90% off of them, and that's pretty awesome."
Use a credit card if you are kinda leary. Not a debit card.
I have bought stuff from them and had no problems, so I guess it’s okay.
cd keys is safe, been using them for years now. its the only place i get PC games firstly. an i buy some console games form there.
I've heard they're bought with stolen credit card numbers. The person gets the transactions reversed because it was stolen, but the "seller" gets the game codes to sell on CDKeys and other grey market sites.
The issue with these sites is that 'some people' buy keys in sales with stolen credit cards, then you buy the game from them...Then the company get the chargeback so it actually costs the game company money. I'm not convinced this is a vast majority though as pretty sure if it was a fraud site it woud just be closed down. Only issue I've had with an invalid key was for splinter cell blacklist for 38p. Pretty sure that is penny fraud. i.e. most people won't bother disputing as it's not worth it.
IGN sit down with members of The Coalition to discuss how Gears esports has grown over the years.
now that's just absurd ...
I don't agree with the score but I can understand his frustration.
Reading the review, I agree with:
"Nine years later, Gears of War's encounters feel simple-minded and very one-dimensional"
"The rest of the time, you're crouching behind conveniently placed obstacles and popping out to shoot at the Locust foes until a gong sounds, informing you that the encounter has been completed"
"The AI in Gears of War: Ultimate Edition can be profoundly dumb. Your squadmates have a habit of just, like, stopping in the middle of a path and not bothering to catch up, even if you issue any of the game's rudimentary and ultimately meaningless squad commands."
"Lastly, the campaign runs at around 30 frames per second, but even then it still takes some hits during some of the larger encounters. That it can't even maintain a rock-solid frame rate while also not looking especially great for 2015 seems like pure madness."
I remember when I mentioned that I had noticed frame-drops below 30 in the campaign direct-feed, not many agreed/believed me.
Well, there you go.
Damn!
So funny how none of these commentors comment on reviews praising this remaster yet flock to the lone negative one and say "seems legit".
Not really sure Giant Bomb appreciates that this games campaign is just a remaster. Every remaster ever released has maintained the original mechanics. Changing AI, even though maybe warranted, is changing too much. You don't buy a remastered movie and cry that there haven't been any improvements to dialogue you just appreciate how much nicer it looks.
