LOL at the comments in this thread. I won't even touch this topic .. much . I bet though most of you have not played BOTH versions to completion. I have ... all I can say is the 360 version runs smoother and you don't have any sort of freezes and BSOD and the typical litany of PC issues when it comes to gaming. On my great system the game runs okay but it is not as smooth as the 360 version. Lots of people experienced this and many still cannot get the game to run on their PC. Whereas ANYONE with a 360 can play the game. So to me it is pretty simple why they got low scores. But please folks argue about what PC games are great and how this shooter is crap or whatnot ... yeah that is what Mike Capps is talking about ... you aren't off on another topic at all. Not at all. LOL.
Oh and to those of you who don't like Gears ... tough. You lose on this one. The market has spoken and nearly 5 million copies sold says Gears is a winner ... period. You don't like it fine, play another game. But many of us are waiting with tons of enthusiasm for Gears 2 and yes we will be enjoying what looks to be the best shooter to date (if you are not into realistic present time or WWII based shooters at least ... I even think this one will surpass Halo 3 and Dark Sector both of which I enjoyed more) ... even over MGS4 (which is crap imo ... I don't even like the graphics tbh) on my 360. Hopefully it comes to PC with extra content in time but if not oh well. After the last foray I don't think they are in that much of hurry to port Gears 2. Frankly his whining about the lower scores is offensive to me. Here he is rolling in the dough being put into his pocket by millions of gamers and he sounds all ticked off because they didn't do as good a job as they could have with making it work smoother on certain PC platforms.
