Reddit reviews Gears of War 4 - Standard Edition - Xbox One/Windows 10 [Digital Code]

It’s still included. If you go to this page, it’s included in the special offers.

But on Amazon right now you can get it for 30$ digital too!!

>PC player here, thinking about getting into GoW4 for MP.

Get it for $30 or cheaper. The game should be free to play with how much they charge you for the crates, but it's whatever. Microsoft.

>Watch some game play and looks fun.

I play the game almost daily, I think it's fun. The movement mechanics and weapons have a satisfying learning curve.

>Que still pops regularly?

Competitive warmup is your go-to if you're on PC and want to play with a party greater than you and one other member. You can queue 5 people. We're getting ranked crossplay in the coming months.

>Is the Season Pass necessary?

Unless you host private matches and want to play on a dedicated server or solo queue developer playlist, no. The season pass is terrible value. If you want to play dev list (play new maps early with 2x XP and 20% cr boost) then I reccomend you find someone who has the season pass to host the lobby. You can queue up and play the new maps without having to own the $50 paperweight.

>$80 (game+pass) is a very different price point than $30

The game should be free to play with a $40-50 season pass that provides extra XP and CR payouts. As it stands, the season pass is basically a ripoff. If you're playing a 10man private match, find someone with season pass and have them host to select maps that are outside of the defaults.

$80 is highway fucking robbery for this game. The cost/benefit model in comparison to other games on PC. $30 is a good maximum to buy this game.

Servers run at 60/30 tick, meaning your client sends 60 updates/sec and server sends 30 updates/sec, which is baffling to me. If you play CS GO and know that 64 tick is fucking awful in comparison to 128tick, you're in for a good time on this 60/30 cheapo bullshit.


tl;dr:

• buy game for $30 digital key
  
• Game is fun if you're competitive. Game is boring if you're a casual player.
  
• dedi servers run at low tick
  
• Horde is ruined b/c RNG lootcrates/class skills/shitty enemy variation
  
• Characters are unlocked through RNG lootcrates and Credit payouts are laughable

My Comment got remvoed by Automod,

This is a digital code for a Play Anywhere title. This means the game can played on both PC and/or Xbox One with Cross Save and Cross play support.

For anyone curious, the game is a 117GB download on PC and it is an absolutely fantastic port. Possibly the best console port ever.

Once you buy the game, a code will be send to your email which can be redeemed on the Windows Store.

Edit - Same price at NewEgg.

Edit 2 - Amazon Price Matched

Here you go. It's 50% off on Amazon digitally right now which gets you PC and Xbox One access. And yeah, it's easy to activate in the windows store. Not always easy to download though unfortunately.

They sell games on Amazon sooo...

There is Gears of War 4 Digital Code for $30.

Amazon does sell digital codes for Gears of War 4:

https://www.amazon.com/Gears-War-Standard-Windows-Digital/dp/B01EZB92QM/ref=sr_1_1_twi_sof_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1478634530&sr=8-1&keywords=gears%2Bof%2Bwar%2B4&th=1

Cheaper on amazon, digital at 29.99 USD or 24.21 GBP.... https://www.amazon.com/Gears-War-4-Xbox-One/dp/B01EZB92QM/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1482345547&sr=1-1&keywords=gears%2Bof%2Bwar%2B4&th=1

Just saying.

I am in the same situation. But here is an archive.org link of the page.

edit: Amazon support transferred me to Twitch support, in the same chat window, because they believed it was for Twitch Credit. Twitch support then gave me the $15 credit. All you need is the link to the promotion, so grab that from the reddit post.

You need a code, a "Digital Purchase", to download the game on PC, unless you have an Xbox one and can install the game via the disc so it appears in your library.

The Digital Purchase is $59.99.

> If Steamworks games could only be sold on Steam that would make it a closed ecosystem like console digital distribution services (PSN/XBox live)

You can buy digital codes for Microsoft's store from third parties, how is this any different or less closed than buying Steam codes from third parties? Steam codes must be used with Steam, and Microsoft codes must be used with Microsoft's store. Both are available from the store or from third parties.


> all those Steamworks games would be exclusives. It would be the exact opposite of the openness that PC gamers value so much.

Steamworks games ARE exclusive to the Steam platform. You can buy the key from elsewhere, but they must be used with Steam. You're right, it isn't completely open like PC gamers value so much, but few even know about Steamworks. To release on a platform other than Steam, Steamworks must be stripped out.

> Secondly, Steamworks is entirely optional. There are many games on Steam that do not use the Steamworks API at all. Using Steamworks is a choice that publishers/developers make of their own free will.

Same with the Windows Store and GoG.

> There is literally nothing Valve is doing to enforce any kind of market dominance that they enjoy.

Requiring Steam to use Steamworks is. Like you said, they allow games to use other distribution platform's multiplayer APIs such as GoG Galaxy, but don't allow their multiplayer API to be used on other distribution platforms. They still get to sell and make money off games that don't use their API and games that do use their API must be distributed via Steam.

If they are able to convince developers to use Steamworks (which is easy since they're dominant) then they win. Now games will either not be released on other platforms, or if they are, they must be stripped of Steamworks which will make them incompatible with the Steam version, where the majority of the users are and that makes the non-steam version of the game very unappealing. Which is exactly what happened with these two CoD games.

Amazon has it for $30 right now, OP. That's the cheapest I could find, as of now.

Search online for a day, forums/reddit and then buy it.

Amazon has a digital code option. eg; https://www.amazon.com/Gears-War-Standard-Windows-Digital/dp/B01EZB92QM/
