I figure since Grand Theft Auto had its own thread Gears deserved one as well. I just rented a copy and am about to play online. What are everyone's thoughts on the game? My gamertag is BrentBaines if anyone wants to play.

I figured 13 bucks with tax to play it for a month was worth it. I am also broke but this just means I eat cheap food for a few days to make up for it.

I went out at midnight and got it, limited edition. Came with an action figure of a Locust with his head all blown up. I can't play it till later though, I promised my friend who is coming over to play all weekend that I won't start it up till he gets here.

Ahhh see this was my dilemma too, that's why I traded in 'Bad Company' like 2 weeks after it came out because I wasn't too into it, as well as GTA IV and some others so I have about 80 bucks on a gamestop card...Will be picking this up over the weekend, as well as the new midnight club and the new Call of Duty, I've held off on new games but time to splurge.

you are probly right, I loved COD4 and play it all the time, but have been playing Gears 1 latley to get the hang of it and get ready for Gears 2 and I feel that GOW sux even though I loved it at first.

Idk ive always felt COD never took any skill, I played this kid who was a 55 and he killed me like 12 times in a row and then i never died again and that was my first time playing COD4. I owned the first 3 but only played them for the single player, multi player was a joke.

U think u did pretty good, but i guarantee u wont do as good as the real good gamers on COD4. Because ive played COD4 for a long time and when i run into a MLG player they are ridiculous in the game.

Yeah its easy to learn the game, knowing how to play and being good at it isnt the same.

I went to Circuit City and they were out of GOW2. However they had GOW2 the collectors edition. It cost me 77.63!!!

It is pretty cool; the metal case is really sharp. I always take a dump before I play the game just so I dont crap my pants when I play it for the first time. The collectors book was good reading material while I was dropping a deuce.

Bruce Banner
11-07-2008, 07:08 PM
I'm not sure if it's my console or the game itself but it is extremely glitchy during cut scenes.

Anyways.....

After playing it for an hour, I see no improvements from the first game. It's basically an expansion pack.

I've been playing it all day. I didn't have work today so me and my buddy have been playing the campaign all day. It's crappin amazing. Best game ever. This game would honestly be worth buying the system just for it. I am a guy who only plays Madden and NBA2k, but this is the one non sports game that I can keep on playing. I even got this before 2k9.

11-07-2008, 07:55 PM
The story has been absolutely amazing so far. The game is basically the same, but the first one was also the best game on the 360. New weapons are sweet, looks absolutely amazing. They took a near perfect game and made it perfect. Love it.

SeanTaylorRIP
11-07-2008, 08:23 PM
The little subtleties they added puts the game over the top. Like different ways to stomp out an opponent. Different areas to saw a guy down. And best for me is the ability to crawl when you are wounded. The graphics are sharper, environments are more interactive, in general just amazing. That level inside of the huge worm, was ridiculous.

I used to be a halo gamer but found I just couldn't win team Halo games with randoms. However what got me to stop playing was when I realized that I couldn't gather enough friends or friends of friends who were serious about actually winning to put forth any kind of coherent strategy. Or even any kind of effort. I used to put clips on my file share of some of the stupid things that the "teams" I was on did. Like, drop a power drainer on a teammate while they were trying to disarm the bomb the other team had planted. And then walk into the power drainer and get killed. And then lose because of that.

Its rare, but occasionally, I've been able to carry a team to victory in cod4. I just can't do that in Halo.

I totally agree with your point. Getting good teamates randomly in Team slayer is rare. I have friends who are good, and we all got to 50s so i still play. Yeah Halo 3 also dosent make any sense sometimes (Sword kills not counting, Double beat downs etc..) the game aggravates me more then any other game sometimes, but ill aways love it more then hate it.

Oh...that's not too bad, I guess.

As for something else...

1. I've always hated how small the online levels were in Gears.
2. I've always hated how quickly matches went.
3. I've always hated how weapons are always in the same spot...it would be nice if it was just random. There is always a mad dash to get the bow or this or that and I never new where they were. ha.

But still, online was still awesome in the 1st game. It def. could have used improvements, though. imo.

1. Heavily improved this year. A lot of HUGE maps

2. Ummm, I think it is improved some. I guess it depends.

3. You can set this option now for randomish. At least, I think the spots are the same, but weapons will be different.

I'll disagree with you on 3 though, I loved it. Increased strategy, you had to battle through for weapons, how to get them, what to do next, etc.

Anyone else get to play this game yet? I've got Gears 2 and Resistance 2, they're both great games and should not be compared to each other because the way they're played are completely different. I was wondering more if anyone has played Resistance 2 and what their impression is of it?

In my opinion Resistance 2 is my favorite exclusive PS3 game to come out so far, it's not better than MGS4 or Little Big Planet but Resistance 2 is easily my favorite game to come out yet. The end of Resistance 2 makes the game stand out far above any other game to come out in recent memory, it makes you realize that Insomniac isn't afraid to be different from the rest of the crowd, and makes Resistance 3 my third most anticipated game for the future (behind Mass Effect 2 and Final Fantasy 13.)

Thanks to piracy I was able to beat GoW2 about 3 weeks ago on my moded 360. Didn't play online 'til the other day though cause getting banned from Live is no fun.

Unrelated, I've also beaten COD5 already too. Its pretty solid. I just think that any fps game without a cover feature is missing something and COD5 certainly is. Its a sick game. They stopped being little bitches with the gore this time around and the game starts out with a dude putting a cigarette out in a guys eye then slitting some throat followed by that guy getting owned by some other guy. You can also actually blow limbs off and its money. The anti-tank sniper rifle is the best for creating a bloody mess. Its pretty sweet having a Japanese campaign in a WWII fps for once and not the typical europe stuff. I wish they had of included an Italian campaign with a British/Canadian character rather than just the Japanese American campaign and the Russian German campaign.

Oh yeah, Jack Bauer aka Kiefer Sutherland is in the game as your sergeant for the American campaign which makes it all the more epic. Funny too kind of because he is Canadian...

Yes and no. I'm pretty sure you can't do a versus match splitscreen with bots. But I know horde works offline, so you can splitscreen and fight together against enemies.

Anyway, I'm not done the campaign yet, but wow, the story is really engaging me.
When I found Maria, I found it difficult to watch Dom do what he had to do. I could feel the pain he must have been going through. It was ridiculous. Big change from the first game, which was just kill kill kill(not that there's anything wrong with that, gears 1 was amazing).

Shane P. Hallam
11-10-2008, 01:42 PM
If you can do Horde, then you could do Bots. You just make it a local multiplayer match, both of you are on, sign them in as a guest, and you can set bots.

Now you are probably thinking, well that is cheap, a gun that shoots through walls! But the thing is, your enemies get them, and you'll be in a huge fire fight (The fights are HUGE, if anything its an understatement) and you'll go to try for cover, then you start getting blasted through the walls by the Auger, its awesome.

Yeah, when it showed Maria all ****** up I was kinda disappointed and creeped out. The second has a way better story than the first where you are actually doing more than detonating a light mass bomb.

I just want the third to come out now and I want to find out what the deal with Marcus' dad is, why the queen practically looks human and wtf the deal with the sires is. My theory is that locusts are just genetically mutated humans and Adam Fenix is somehow involved in it in a real ****** up way and Marcus is gonna have to do something to his dad despite saving him before the first game which is how he ended up in that jail at the start of the game.

The games actually got a pretty solid story going for it. I just hope the whole carmine dying crap doesn't continue. I thought it was kind of funny how they made a joke out of jack ripping doors and doing stuff and how whenever they say it someone will say something like, "you know what that means..."

I checked it out at the store when I bought GOW2 on saturday, I think I'm gonna buy it on Friday but I want to see some people's opinions on it first, I really hate buying two shooter games so close together but I may have to make that exception.

I played the beta for PC and it was fun. I'm gonna wait for some reviews to compare with some other FPS games but I'm definitely leaning towards purchasing it.

I play CSS and we're sponsored by xcalibur gaming who has a COD4 team also. They've [COD team] been practicing the COD5 BETA for PC and said it's alright. They said it was fun to play, but for right now, to broken to be playing competitively.

Yeah, it's a beta so problems were to be expected but Treyarch is supposedly coming out with a patch soon after release to fix the major issues.

COD got a 9.2 from IGN's review. Campaign sounds fun and of course the multiplayer will be awesome. Picking it up soon.

COD4 opened a whole new world to me. I never like any games besides Madden. But the day I bought COD4 I played it non-stop for 6 months. However, I hate to buy it when I just bought GOW2. Maybe Christmas

Anyone ever played Devil May Cry 4?

I played it and all the other DMC games. The order is now:

1, (4,3) 2

4 and 3 are that close. Very fun, the action really gets back to what was fun about the series.

How about Fallout 3, I keep hearing it's a must buy but I'm just not that excited about it. I never played Oblivion or any of those games.

I [CRL+F] this whole thread and nothing about left4dead?

Nothing?

I've been playing the demo on steam. I may actually buy. Looks like it has tons of replay value.

I'm downloading the demo now, hoping it finishes DL-ing before I have to goto work so I can play for a couple minutes.

Oh..my goodness. I've been playing the hell out of the demo and it's absolutely AMAZING. The game is going to be absolutely wonderful. (Notice a trend here? heh.) I mean, the campaign levels in the demo were great, so I can only imagine how great the game will be with custom maps, and additional user made content.

Speaking of which..it seems like there are quite a few people who have downloaded the demo on Steam. We should try and get a game together at some point.

Yeah you can download the demo from Steam. That is Valve's client to download and buy any of their games.
