Gears of War

So far ive finished gears 3 times now on the repective difficulties, and I think im bored with it now, the remaining achievements are all the multiplayer ones and while I have live I cant bring myself to sit and play it that much.

I've been playing the game co-op lately (not over live, but split-screen) and I think it makes it much better. You might want to give it a try - it's really made well for co-op since it's built around teamwork.

I've not played this game. I've seen vids of it on youtube, looks fuckin sick! Have a question about it though. Does the blood stay on the walls and are there bullet holes left in everything? Like in F.E.A.R.

My girl got me a subscription to gamefly for christmas. They have a feature on there called "user reviews" people like us who play the games. I trust their advice more than the critics! They all give the game either a 10 or 9, mostly 10's though! Out of 274 reviews, that's saying something! I didn't even see one 8 out of all of them. When I do get my 360 later next month, I'm pickin up a copy of this game the same time! I don't think I'll be disappointed! Some were even saying it beats the shit outta Halo! This game will single handedly smash PS3! according to the reviews I've read!

It's definitely better than The first 2 Halo games in my opinion . We'll have to see if it's better than Halo 3 but I doubt it .
 
this game is definetly up there with halo but i dont know if i would say its better...but i cant wait till halo 3 comes out

You already know Halo 3 is gonna be a killer app for the 360!
 
Did you guys know that the guy who does Marcus Fenix's voice in the game is also the voice of crazy alchoolic robot Bender from Futurama ? I couldn't believe it when I read that in a mag :D .

:1orglaugh
Now I can never look at Fenix the same again.

Bite my shiny metal ass :D
 
I disagree, general raam on insane was no easy task, the beserker on all three levels wasnt particularly challenging I felt, it was formulaeic at best.

Just got my 360! Yay for me! :nanner:

So far I'm lovin this game! Reminds me of killswitch, the way you use cover and can fire over your head. Best thing to do, assuming you can get away in time, is to stick a grenade in a baddy...damn that's messy!

The berserker was fairly easy. The rest of the game is a nice challenge. Been playing about a day on hardcore and it's not getting any easier!

I'd like them to make a shooter with the blood and gore of this game, with the weapons from the Halo series and the destructiveness of BLACK! Also throw in the scare factor of F.E.A.R. keeping with the combat techniques of this game as well and you've got one hell of a nice shooter! :thumbsup:
 
I thought that it was a good and fun game to play through in co-op. I've always tried it online which can also be a lot of fun, but unfortunately also pretty repetetive. It just seemed like a race for the best weapons and only really worked when you were carefully sneaking around behind cover. When people begin playing this game in a Halo style, then it becomes rather boring IMO.

As for the story in the game, I thought that it was below average. Sure it was cool with all the fighting in a semi destroyed world, but it just lacked something. The whole resonator plot was weird, and what followed it didn't make much sense.
I didn't care much for the boss fights either. I think that the best moments in the game where when you were fighting from cover to cover with a lot of regular enemies, and I also found it interesting to deal with the Berzerkers.
 
I've just ordered a 360 with the GOW bundle - can't wait to play it! I'm glad to hear they made those maps free to download for online content. This is going to be a good year to own a 360 me thinks with Halo 3, BioShock, Mass Effect and the new Grand Theft Auto game coming out :thumbsup:
