Gears 2 nicca

Post by: Howard Alan Treesong on February 20, 2008, 06:34:03 PM: Gears 2 looks zzz, sorry.

Also, MS announced last year it was coming this year (alternating yearly releases with Halo).

Also, it was obvious Gears 2 was coming to anyone with half a brain, so most Gears fans even.

NG2 > Gears 2

Fable 2 > Gears 2

Uncharted 2 > Gears 2

Not sure if you saw this or not.

Year of the ps3 indeed.

WipeOut HD was originally supposed to be out in December. So it's only the year of the PS3 because they can't hold to their original release dates?

If that's the case, 2009 should be the best Year of the PS3 yet!

Gears was ok, short, not too deep, and tapped deeply into the latent homoeroticism of the wrestling fan set.

Post by: brawndolicious on February 20, 2008, 08:09:09 PM: Gears is good. I don't know for sure where you guys got the idea that it was supposed to be the most awesome game ever in every way but you should probably give less of a crap about what you read on forums.

I just want the sequel to have big battles, more bosses, destructible environments actually used often to kill enemies, have actually useful squad commands, and maybe have the allies be in different classes so it matters who you send to do what type of thing (artillery, sniper, engineer classes for example). Seriously, as long as it still has tight level design, gratuitous violence, and a decent amount of new features I'll be happy. The graphics should also get a decent bump but I'll forgive 30 fps for a game like this.

Probably the endless babbling hype and the like, 40 perfect scores it got, BUT OTHER THAN THAT I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE IDEA CAME FROM.
So what, IGN inflated your expectations for the chainsaw simulator? As Willco said, the game is REALLY fun in co-op.
Title: Re: So the year of PS3 lasted 6 weeks
Post by: brawndolicious on February 20, 2008, 08:28:31 PM: it did sound like some of you expected it to be as good as system fanboys said. it was above-average imo. definitely if you're playing co-op.

You know why R6V is better? Environmental interaction and more than 4 good guns. Gears looked better, but it was like being in a still museum where very little reacted to your shooting. In R6V, the world exploded around you.

Yes, R6:V's arsenal was somehow the most interesting despite being the most realistic game of the three.

Rainbow 6 has always been a great series. It was the first Clancy game, and thus the one that gave it the credibility to convince us to try others.

Post by: Smooth Groove on February 21, 2008, 03:16:46 AM: Drohne, I was never a big fan of Rainbow Six either but R6V has made me see the light. There's never been a game that has done a finer job of combining realism and action movie excitement.

Post by: TVC15 on February 21, 2008, 03:21:14 AM: Are you kidding? While I can understand why the mechanic died, I loved being able to map out the mission beforehand, and then review the mission flow afterwards. The big complaint (and it was a biggie at the time) was no on-screen gun. That and the visuals weren't impressive for 1998.
