You can debate about Win10, WinStore, port quality, artifacts & bugs. But a fact remains: There are overwhelming issues with Gears of War UE PC, and it makes the game not work.
As a series fan on the level of getting to #2 on the FFA Leaderboards- I am currently dead inside.

the only redeemable quality I can muster is that the game is only $30.
I was actually looking forward to this, but having it tied down to Microsofts annoying Winstore shit is a huge disappointment. GFWL flashbacks.

Always find it a really weird experience to encounter people who have topped a leaderboard of any videogame ever. One of my Croatian friends was in the top 50 ranked players for Gears 1 and 2, and some guy I walked by in JB Hi-Fi once was saying he was in the top 10 ranked Call of Duty Ghosts players and still going for number 1. It's like my brain can't comprehend how they were able to do it, probably just me though.
On the port, this doesn't make any goddamn sense. How can a core GOW team developed port backed by Microsoft run so poorly? Windows store is a mess from what I've heard but surely it can't be the root of all the game's problems.

It's just a lot of free time + playing [I]just[/I] that one game + only winning when you do play to have a high time/score ratio.
As someone strongly against WinStore, admittedly there are numerous problems with the port in general. All the Windows stuff is no more than half of the problem at any given time. I can easily see this being Microsoft's fault as their motto ever since Xbone launch has been: Microsoft. "[I]Yeah that's probably good enough.[/I]"
I was in the top 10's for gears 3 for a while, it's just constantly playing at a high level when the game comes out
I have literally everything in that game/max rank/all skins etc. I love me some gears, hope they re-release 3 on pc as well

FFA, Judgement hardly counts as a Gears game :v:
But yes the fact remains the port has issues, I got lucky with my build and only suffer from extreme texture pop-in bugs. But at the same time the game works as long as you don't have an AMD, and it's no Arkham Knight.
