CliffyB says "no GoW2 on PC ever, because of piracy and Dell-esque shitboxes"

I thought it was about a bunch of space marines running around shooting alien monsters with big guns.

Boy am I apathetic. There's no love, no hate, just...nothing.

So a console game isn't coming to the pc huh? :bored: Lunch is more exciting than gears of war.

Oh teh noes, PC gaming is d0med!

The average gamer nowadays doesn't know what OS is installed on the PC, let alone what video card and drivers. Most of them just buy a cheap one and expect it to play the games just fine.

From a marketing standpoint I think Epic would make profit from the PC anyway. It isn't too difficult to make money with the help of morons, just put up purdy front cover, make sure minimum requirements are as hard to understand for the average joe as possible and there ya go.

Fuck!!! Now where, as a PC gamer, am I going to get my homoerotic-in-denial shooter fix??

Is there really anyone out there who gives two shits about gears of war that doesn't already own a 360?

I don't know. The original looked amusing. If it was $5 and could be beaten in about 5 hours, I'd probably play it.

What?

It can be beaten in about 7 hours ;) I actually liked it, but Resident Evil 4 which was a source of inspiration for GoW was so much better in all aspects.

...

Is he really saying that the only people who would know to set up a decent computer to play their fucking games with would just pirate the game anyway? That's not a joke?

Because if he is, that is hands down the dumbest thing I have read in a very long time (a couple months at least.)

Oh, I get it.

He means to say that if you're smart enough to know how to change your own video card, you're not his game's target demographic.

Conversely, if you're not, that means you're too dumb to get the game working on your PC anyway. Ergo, console = win.

So having smarts is apparently a disadvantage when it comes to playing GoW 2! Shucks, who'd have thunk it?
