Nick Plessas - "Gears of War: Ultimate Edition does a fine job of remastering the original, but a new coat of paint and some minor upgrades can’t disguise the fact that the gameplay experience hasn’t aged particularly well."
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.
"Is this a lot of bang for your buck? Absolutely, and those who pride themselves on being fans of the series should be excited. However, all this new content doesn’t alter the foundation of how the title plays, and in some cases it even exacerbates it. Gears of War set a standard for third-person shooters, but having that in mind, those who attempt to get into it now will quickly realize how far the industry has evolved past it."
I agree it's an incredible value, and The Coalition is to be congratulated on their work.
IMO the gameplay holds up well, especially considering it's 9 years old.
Happy to say the overwhelmingly vast number of reviewers agree as out of 53 reviews, 47 are 80 or higher.
Does that really matter, will that stop you from enjoying the game?
I still can't believe the Xbox one still don't have one AAA exclusive that has a 9 or higher review score. It's unbelievable, hopefully Halo 5 or Forza changes that because it's almost been 3 years now. I believe Halo 5 will do it. To be honest Gears of War should have gotten the same review score it got 9 years ago.
I literally just finished the game half an hour ago, and everything has aged well except for the atrocious AI.
I love this game, I really do, but the AI is quite possibly the worst I've seen in a game. Ever. Dom, what are you doing? Stop walking out in the middle of a gunfight like you're taking a stroll in the park.
I also literally stood and stared at a locust while he just stared back. I left the game, came back, and he still hadn't made any attempt to kill me. Lasted about two minutes til I decided to put him out of his misery.
