Does it still hold up?

Impossible to run on PC. Impossible to even pirate. You can't save your data.

I've gone to great lengths to try to be less racist, but I just can't not associate this game with Mexican kids who use axe body spray as a substitute for showering.

Remember, only the PC version is retro

Not true. You can discuss ports and remasters of games even if they released after the deadline

>>11851797
Can't discuss 360 games

The mods of this website really are the biggest nigger faggots in the history of the internet.

...unless they are ports/remasters/remakes of games from before the deadline...

Why do you think we can discuss N.Sane Trilogy here?

>>11851805
So I can talk about the dead rising remake here?

Never played it because I've never had an xbox

****what did I miss

Not true at all, you just need to make sure the game has the latest patches, then you can make a local account to save progress. If you pirate the game, a lot of the downloads have a dummy account enabled for the same purpose. It's fully playable.

Anyway, this game was legitimately fantastic. Gears 1 felt like a 10/10 late 90s scifi movie, and it has possibly the most satisfying weapons of any game ever made. The game oozed atmosphere and it could be surprisingly tense and unsettling despite the comic book proportions and story. They even somehow managed to make a motley crew of professional wrestlers fighting aliens seem charming and relatable. I have Marcus and Baird's voices burned into my brain. Shame they ruined it all with Gears 2 and onward by turning it into le sadboy faggotry about Dom's wife and borderline slapstick comedy with "THEY'RE USING A GIANT WORM". This game suffers from Halo CE syndrome where the first one was fantastic and had some nuance, but its legacy is stained by the incredibly faggy games that succeeded it.

I never understood the hype behind this game. It felt like any other generic cover shooter from that era and arguably brought all sorts of unwarranted types into the hobby—dude bros being the worst offenders.

They even recently released the terrible remaster on the PS5, and it looks ugly as hell.

This game basically invented cover shooters zoomie (no, no one played KillSwitch or WinBack). You'd know that if you were alive at the time.

it's Xbox baby's first Turd Person Shooter

even RE4 had covering mechanics, Garbage of War did not come up with anything new

I played through it a few months ago
>Impossible to even pirate
I did it using a Redump ISO file

Use Xliveless to bypass Games for Windows Live and save locally

This isn’t retro but how bad was Games for Windows Live when it was still around? Did it bother many people? What was the reason for its existence anyway?

No it wasn't ported to PC until 2016

What the heck, Geara of War is a retro game?!

Emulated 1 and 2 split screen on PC and am going to do the same with 3. If your PC can't do this you're a poorfag.
