Achievements definitely work with my Steam version, but I'm fairly sure with most games you only get 1000 gamerpoints regardless of which version you play.

I've tried with 3 different browsers to make a purchase. It's not happening. What the heck!?

It's too bad Steam doesn't price match.

Maingon is correct; back when GFWL first came out, there was a big fuss made about the PC version of Gears of War's gamerscore being completely separate from the 360's version. So, if you owned both and got maximum points in each, yes, you'd end up with 2000 gamerscore total for doing the same things on both platforms.

In all honesty, though, no one should care enough about their gamerscore enough to whine about it either way (not saying that anyone here is). It's just an arbitrary system designed to give you more to earn (and, thus, reason to play) in each title than simply completing it, and, regardless of how high your score is, it impresses no one.

Sorry for the rant, and thanks, OP, for the heads-up! I've been looking for a deal on this after I failed to pick it up during the Christmas Steam sale. Here's hoping it runs great on my machine!

Added and then removed another title. Was able to go through checkout. Sheesh.

I played the game on 360 and enjoyed it. I'm going to pick this up for PC. I'd rather get it on Steam, but can't pass up $5.

I've played a couple GFWL games and had zero problems with them. That's how I got 2 set of achievements for Arkham Asylum.

Same here. Suggestions, anyone?

Actually, for most games, the Xbox 360 and GFWL versions get their own 1,000 gamerscore. The only game I can think of that this isn't true is Shadowrun. MS claims the reason for that with Shadowrun is the 2 versions can play against each other.

I have both versions on my games played list for the following games that I can think of.
Gears of War
Fallout 3
Batman: Arkham Asylum
Kane & Lynch
Viva Pinata

I had no problems buying the game. I used IE8 on Windows 7.

I've downloaded 1.93GB of 7.72GB.

Make sure you aren't getting charged each time you try to make the purchase. This happened to me during their anniversary sale and I got charged 4 different times and never received anything. I contacted their "customer support" (which totally blows) and they were not helpful. I had to call my bank and have them cancel payment. Just a heads up for all of you having difficulties on D2D.

I got it downloaded, installed, signed into GFWL and patched.

Too bad I'm trying to finish Mass Effect so I can move on to Mass Effect 2 right now. No time for Red Faction.

Just a warning... the PC version has quite a few issues. Many people experience crashing issues, frame rate issues (even on high end PCs), and it's got the speed-up issue that is also found in Saints Row 2 PC. As well as quite a few other problems.

With the speed-up issue, the game will basically runs about 1.5 times faster than it is supposed to. It seems to affect almost everyone on Windows 7, and a few people on other OSs.

I am on a pretty high end Windows 7 computer, and I experience all of the issues I mentioned. I regret getting the PC version of this game. Though, it's only $5, so you may be able to look past the problems.

They have promised a second patch, so hopefully it will fix a lot of the issues.

You can manually install the patch here

Tried Paypal twice.. not trying again... too much hassle, I probably want it for X-Box more anyways.

Thank You! It Worked!
You are a gentleman and scholar.

Well, I take back what I said. Apparently, after I downloaded RFG and activated it with the same email I use for Impulse, it did indeed allow me to register it through their software. So, it does work it appears, you just need to activate the D2D copy first for some reason. My apologies for the misinformation previously, as I tried to register the key through Impulse without downloading first.

Saw this linked on Shacknews from Idle Thumbs - a taste of RF:G's destruction coupled with a catchy tune.

Would I be able to buy it on a different computer and come back to download it and play on my gaming computer?... I'm having no luck making anything show up in the cart, I think it is some SSL thing I might have rejected from IGN entertainment. I don't know how to fix it.

Yes. Just log into your account, purchase, and download at the time/place of your choosing.
