>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

There was a deal where if you bought GearsUE that all other gears came with it, but idk if that's still a thing. If that doesn't work, there is a bundle with all three games here--> https://www.amazon.com/Gears-War-Triple-Pack-Xbox-Bundle/dp/B004JSDQPU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1466895143&sr=8-2&keywords=gears+of+war+bundle (which will on work on Xbox One). I loved the campaigns and once you get the hang of the multiplayer it can be really satisfying. I hope this helps and I hope to see you online ;)

The art of Gears 4

It's full of cool concept art and it just shows you they have plenty of ideas to work with but choose to do reskins instead. I wish they'd do different stages of armor just like they did with the Lucha Oscar. Like an IMAGO with three stages of his chitin developing would be amazing.

Acutally, BestBuy.ca is now taking preorders for Gears 3 -- I placed one the other day. Free shipping too. I'm actually planning on returning the unopened copy back to the store once I've redeemed the code (that presumably they email to me).

Walmart Canada is taking preorders as well, just not on the website. You have to do it in person. When I contacted them, they didn't say anything about pre-order bonuses, but I'm assuming it will be the Savage Grenadier Elite... at least, I hope so, he looks so bad ass.

Lastly, Amazon.ca does not accept pre-orders; but Amazon.com does, and they ship to Canada. I placed an order with them as well, and they charged me 8 bucks shipping and another 8 for some export/import fee. Whatever...

And of course, EB Games/Gamestop has always allowed pre-orders. They're the only ones with their their act together from the get go.

EDIT: Regarding Amazon.ca (offering pre-orders now):

http://www.amazon.com/Gears-War-3-Xbox-360/dp/B002I0H79C/

vs

http://www.amazon.ca/Microsoft-GOW3-Gears-of-War/dp/B002I0H79C/

One lists the pre-order bonus, and one doesn't. The amazon.ca one gives me pause.

I would love the Elite, but really just can't afford it. I'm considering buying the strike pack controller modifier- Has anyone tried one of these? I would love to hear some input on it

Both of those items were clearly listed in the description of the item at retailers :P

Glad you get to use Adam now, he has some fantastic audio lines :D

> you can use tac com without taking your thumb off

With this little number you can have the best of both worlds.

Been playing Tournament with two active back buttons/paddles since UE. Never looking back.

I'm not the op, but I have this one here.

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B00834SJU8/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1475068660&sr=8-5&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=3+tb+external+hdd&dpPl=1&dpID=31iKxxVF%2BML&ref=plSrch

It's served me pretty well since July 2014. You'll have some people who swear against Seagate, but the reality is that all hard drives will fail eventually. WD is a good make too, it's hard to go wrong. I believe I paid about $115 Canadian for mine, was on sale.

There's something like this might work well

It's as official as it gets!
Amazon Link
Since I don't know where you live I couldn't give a more local link, but that's at least how it looks like!

This glue is godsend.

There is definitely a physical version of the Ultimate Edition on Xbox One.

You can see here on Amazon that there is an option to buy it on disc or buy a digital code.

Just go on amazon like he said....

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.

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.

The best deal out there : Gears of War 4: Ultimate Edition (Includes SteelBook with Physical Disc + Season Pass + Early Access) - Xbox One https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01ENZU6J2?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

When I record gameplay, I use this and I edit the videos with this and this is the result.

Great collection. I need to dig my stuff out and put it all back up.
