Will this shut up the PC guys that complained about not getting a demo now?

So worth it.

Clever promotion. Leveraging what Microsoft have that others don't. Maybe they can be competitive, even without being anti-competitive.

I'd totally pick this up if I had a good enough PC to run the games.

That's good I suppose. I don't play PC, but Gears 1 was a fun game and I also think Bulletstorm will be fun. Although the whole calling people dicktits thing will get kind of annoying.

gears of war is unplayable, mostly due to the audience moving on to gears 2. more free stuff for bstorm tho, hooray [?]
epic cant expect this game to sell at all or they wouldnt have tied everything they own to this anchor. looks [and feels] like a dud

I love how they're doing so much to get people to buy this game EXCEPT release a demo on PC.

@DarthNader I think bulletstorm is meant to appeal more to the console crowd anyway

thats certainly how it appears. I don't think tacking gears on is going to make it any more appealing for people though.

Lame I bought Gears of War for PC the day it came out only to hear 2 wasn't coming out for PC and now this? Their should be an early adopters discount because I sure as hell have no incentive to buy this game now.

I bought Sonic the Hedge Hog when it came out in 91.
They re-released it a couple years ago. I should get an early adapters discount.

I'm not buying this game for $60 on PC, thanks. I already own gears on PC anyway.
This game seems immature and repetitive based on the few times I played through the embarassing, IQ reducing demo.
