It'll be a week+ before I play this game cause I'm importing it, though still waiting for a report to be 100% sure it's region free.
If you want to make a linear game with epic battles, you have to make it scripted. Otherwise, the AI does shit you never expect it to do.

Nobody said otherwise. It's just that COD4 did it better.

what are you talking about
how is it a 'wannabe' then. It's not like they're copying CoD4, they're just continuing the trend they set with 1
COD4 wannabe. Better than the 1st, and looks bloody amazing but i'm disappointed.
My copy of COD4 must have come from a different factory or something, because I thought the single player was pretty poor.WrikaWrek is training for ubiased fanboy
I'd buy it day 1 if Fallout 3 hadn't come out, now I can sort of pass the time till it arrives in the mail. Otherwise I probably would have payed the extra 22euros:(

I'd do the same, if my friend wasn't pushing me to get it asap so we can do co-op. I'm calling some stores today, can't wait to play this.

7-11's are selling the game early. Couple of co-workers picked up copies last night from the one near the office. Friend received his copy early from Amazon and is playing it right now actually.
Looks really nice.

Well, the thing is, R1 at least sold well, so even if the industry itself didn't care for resistance, gamers somehow did. But the lack of hype for R2 is really telling how much of a mark R1 was.

Neither R2 or G2 have the kind of huge release hype that Halo 3 or MGS4 or even CoD4 had.

Despite having a bigger install base to sell to, Gears 2 will sell LESS than the original.

But yeah, pretty weird how MS is handling the launch for GOW2, hmmm.

Yeah and I don't see many people being hyped to play the game. Nothing like Halo 3/MGS4 type launches.
I wasn't hyped to play R2 and I'm not hyped to play Gears 2 either. I'll pick up Gears 2 tomorrow play it for an hour and toss it in my backlog to play in a month or two or three like I did with R2. When there's this many games out in the fall it's hard to be "hyped" to play a more-of-the-same-but-better sequel.
The only game I'm actually "hyped" to play this year is Mirrors Edge because it's new and fresh and plays well/looks well.
Yeah, it's been really odd how quiet Gears 2's marketing has been. Some of my 360 owning friends didn't even know that the sequel was coming out this month.
MGS4 sold like shit but the launch mania was crazy just like the Halo 3 launch or an FF launch. People were camping out for that shit.MGS4 didn't sell like shit, though. It actually sold very well and Konami is pleased with the results. Isn't that what matters?
Gears 2 will sell millions of copies no doubt. Probably will sell 5x Resistance 2 at least. But then again so will Fallout 3. I think R2 will sell about the same as R1, probably a 1.5 mil at the end of the year.
I'll wait for an expansion pack price point for whats basically an expansion pack game!
yawn generic war game. do xbots like anything else?
Back from the Canadian launch event. Sadly, no pics, because the lighting was messing with my camera. They rented out an entire subway platform(!), and had a shit ton of hi-def TV's running Gears 2 linked up. Good stuff. Hotter than an oven down there though, but getting a free copy of the game made it easy to cope with.
The game looks fantastic, and I really have to learn how to use that new mortar canon.
Oh quiet MrBob, you're going to buy this and then rave about it just like Fallout 3.
Quotedo xbots like anything else?
xbots buy absolutely everything so i guess they like everything?
even turds in green boxes sell to us mongberts.
Dcharlie I give the people of Evilbore what they want! I'm really not trying to do an all and out troll, it has to do with the huge surplus of games which have hit. I have Fallout 3 (awesome), just picked up Red Alert 3 on PC, Left 4 Dead is coming in a little over a week, so it is more of trying to convince myself to buy another game when I really shouldn't since I barely have time to play what I have at the moment!Oh quiet MrBob, you're going to buy this and then rave about it just like Fallout 3.
How are you enjoying the latest Tales experience? :lol
This shit will have to wait until NXE comes out. For some reason or another, Gears 1 makes my 360 go into hyperdrive and it sounds like a jet taking off head-on into a schoolbus. I seriously need ear protection because the fan/drive is so obnoxious.Gotta be UE3 texture streaming I think. ME did the same thing to my Xbox and I first noticed really bad texture pop in with the first gears when I tried replaying it a few months back. Drive was dying I think.

we should play, baby
FUCK, I wish I could play Gears 2. :(
Oh well, time to continue packing for my vacation...
Gears 1 to Gears 2 is as big of a leap as ZoE1 to ZoE2

Is the game shorter by any chance? It seemed kinda shorter.
The new weapons in this game are also all amazing. It's funny how Resistance got a lot hype for having cool weapons, but Resistance 2 failed to deliver there while Gears 2 delivered satisfying new weapons. I would go as far as to say that any single weapon you pick up in Gears 2 is fun to use, it's just a matter of how fun they are to use.
I've been impressed by the flamethrower. Contrary to the typical video game flamethrower, which seems to be more of an enhanced blowtorch, this one seems to spit death like you'd expect from such a weapon.

i thought I was losing by 3 in that last game, oh well
I've seen some of those screens before, but is that really what the game looks like? Pretty big drop-off in quality from SP if so. Hell, that looks less balanced than GOW1.

Shooting mortars is too hard. I've seen my flaming RV take a nose dive about 10 times.
Garbage sequence, garbage game. Anyone want to buy a gently used Collector's Edition?
Shooting mortars is too hard. I've seen my flaming RV take a nose dive about 10 times.I couldn't hit them with any of my weapons either, so I used the turret. Much easier.
I had problems with that rig part as well. But this strategy worked:
1) Lancer the cysts (short burst fire, don't hold)
2) Then run to the turret gun and use it to take out the reaver
Yeah, I'm talking about shooting down the mortars that hit your RV.

Horde mode is pretty fun, my expectations were low and it managed to exceed them, but it's nothing too great. It fails largely because the stages don't seem to be based around the mode itself, it just seems like an after thought to those who wanted more than 2 person co-op. If Horde mode is changed into it's own entity for Gears 3, I will be happy. It helps that Epic does like to borrow aspects of other games to add to their own, so they can study up on Left 4 Dead in the meantime.
Did you forget the part where you jerk off and before you cum you just stop jerking off and put your clothes back on and walk away?
Yeah, it's kind of like that
I just cum into a cocktail glass and then once a week I drink down what's accumulated in it. I believe it helps me retain my youth and virility. Back when I was a teen, I used a lowball glass.
So... has anyone managed to unlock the Meatshield achievement yet or is that thing just glitched as fuck? In both campaign and mp I pick one up, let the enemy destroy it, then continue on. That should make the counter go up, but I got 0. Anyone know how to get it?
I want to do Horde on Casual first, just to get the achievement.
Does ammo carry between rounds or anything like that?
I thought GoW1 was okay. It was fun on co-op, but aside that not exactly memorable. The enemies take too long to kill, I could only stand to play the game for 30 minutes at a time. How much improved is the sequel?
holy shit i am superhumanly bad at gears multiplayer
holy shit i am superhumanly bad at gears multiplayerLol that's how I felt on Friday, but I got much better by last night. I'm still not that great, but I don't feel completey worthless anymore.

Is the multiplayer better, worse or the same as the original? I just could not get into multiplayer for the original.
I also wonder if I'll abandon it entirely once Left 4 Dead hits.

How is multiplayer fucked up exactly? I'm having alot more fun now because people aren't hiding behind corners with the chainsaw constantly revved or doing that roll + shotgun = instakill thing. My only complaints are that it takes to fucking long to get a match going and people are doing that thing where they lag on purpose to kill everyone.Let's see:
Edit: What? How is Dom a jackass?

Ha, apparently you dont even need co-op. Just start a local co-op game, with 2 controllers. You are Insane, the other guy is Casual. Just play as the Casual guy. Beat the game, you win.
honest question:
Gears 1 for PC - yay or nay?
also, this is the first video game with a Maori character afaik(http://news.softpedia.com/images/extra/GAMES/large/markofkrips2_002-large.jpg)The most awesome Sony franchise that time forgot.
Rugby simulations dont count
Yeah I've had Dom ignore me even though I was crawling right by his feet and there weren't anymore enemies around. At first I thought it was because you only get one save per encounter but I was revived a couple of times in a row towards the end of the game so maybe it's just an incredibly shitty AI bug.
Dom is worthless. The only thing he brings to the table is NPC toughness. He can apparently absorb about 3x as many bullets as I can, so when fighting a reaver or something, just try to let him get its attention and you'll be free to toss grenades.
The real trick is to get under the Reavers and shoot this pinkish part of their body. They go down like pussies after that.And who thought it was a good idea to replace THE COLE TRAIN with a faceless rookie?
You better not be talking about Carmine. I will go down to new york TODAY and beat your silly ass with my carmine faceplate and while wearing my "Carmine's best friend" t-shirt. Cole Train is amazing(and pretty racist to others) but Carmine is like the face of Gears of War.
Honestly, who the fuck could go back to playing Gears 1 after they've played Gears 2? PC or not, the leap in quality between the two games is enormous.I can. I think Gears 1 is every bit as good as Gears 2 and I much prefer the environments in Gears 1. Though, in the end, I suppose Gears 2 is indeed the better game.
I don't know how the hell is Epic ever going to top this for Gears 3.

Still have to end act 3, just met up with some dudes in the cave.
I hate bossfights with the fury of a thousand suns, I hate them even more in shooters. Same with Gears 2, can't stand it. Only bossfight in a shooter I've been able to stomach...well absolutely loved, are the scarabs in Halo 3 (my favorite gaming moment of 2007). Everything else is so fucking annoying. Just finished the 4 act and starting with the flying sequence.
God, I hate bossfights, I HATE THEM SO FUCKING MUCH it taints my experience of Gears 2. They give some really cool firefights throughout the game though, but man I just don't want bossfights AT ALL. The drama cutscenes are pretty nicely done, better than in a lot of other games. Pretty true to the spirit of the game and marcus.

horrible script that's trying to be MGS4 but failingWhat? You're gonna have to explain that one.
Tieno, have you played Horde yet?Played it last night and I loved it. It's very good.
It almost feels like its a last mission for an old time crew, sort of how MGS4 sets up solid snakes last mission. The main difference Gears 2 is trying to be too serious for its own good.Wtf, no it doesn't. Not at all. I think you're overanalyzing the simple ass story in Gears 2. The only time that the game ever feels like it's trying to be serious is when

What Halo twist are we talking about exactly?the lambent?
Where? They say "there's a flood of them," which I thought was pretty funny.QuoteBut that's ultimately just a story twist, right? I mean you never actually fight the Lambent. They don't have any real effect on the game proper, do they?spoiler (click to show/hide)you DO fight the Lambent on SEVERAL occassions! AND they are introduced as 'the real bad guys that can destroy everything'. They even use the damn word "flood" in describing them :/ They are obviously a big part of Gears 3. I don't get it - it's like they lifted the idea straight out of Halo... THE WORST part of Halo i may add.[close]
Whole game is buggy. Encountered many bugs where me and DM were just floating in the air after something would happen. Or as the second co op player Dom my weapon wouldn't fire until I got hit by an enemy.
Shit, Horde gets pretty tough real quickPlayed some Horde this morning and it was a lot faster than yesterday. Still on the slow side.
And wtf is up with online matchmaking? I was waiting 10 minutes and I couldnt even get a game
Yes it's amazing. A-FUCKING-MAZING. Looks like a CG movie with AA enabled. The PC exclusive chapter ROCKS.The game is a bit less polished on the PC, however. There are some odd hitches at various points that Epic has yet to address in a patch and there are still occasional (rare) areas where the framerate just won't hold 60 fps. There's no reason why a GTX260 Core 216 should drop below 60 fps at any point in the game (even when dropped to 1360x768 with no AA). Try loading up Act IV. Is the opening cutscene completely smooth? When you finally land, try spinning the camera around (I'm using a 360 pad) and you'll notice drops while facing the main area. That's just one example. Also, it's a pain in the ass to get 5.1 sound of the PC version for some reason (most UE3 games have no issues with this).
Finished it on hardcore tonight. Stupid XBL went down though so we have to replay one part of a chapter to get the co op achievement. Besides the horrible final boss, mission 5 was amazing. This was the frantic pace of Gears I remembered. If only the first four chapters were this good the single player would have been a worthy sequel.

Still, the PC version is very much worth playing.
Gears on PC supposedly scales the graphics according to your hardware, regardless of what you picked in the settings. It's why some people with a low end 8800 claim to have completely smooth gameplay while people with faster GPUs get hitching and framedrops.Still, you shouldn't need two GTX280 cards to get a perfect framerate in this game. A GTX260 C216 should be more than enough to handle it at a perfect framerate. I believe it is unoptimized simply because there are certain scenes that just refuse to run perfectly regardless of settings in use. However, to be fair, it's 60 fps a good 99% of the time with odd loading hitches occuring between major areas. It just annoys me that the framerate would drop at all but it's the loading pauses that annoy me the most. What's I'm curious about is the beginning of Act 4. If you get a chance, try loading up the beginning of Act 4 and watch the cutscene (the realtime scene). Does it hitch at all? It's a good example of what I'm talking about as it occurs at the beginning of an Act. I've never seen this scene run completely smooth on any PC (framerate is fine, but the game "hitches" for some reason). When I say completely smooth, I mean 100% 60 fps never a skip anywhere.
On my previous 8800GTX SLI rig, I used to get some stuttering but once I swapped them with the 280 GTXEs, the game became completely smooth. I think it's possible the engine gave the 8800s too much to handle whereas the 280s got just the right amount of work.

Eh, the outdoor areas in Gears 1 (part of Act 3 and most of Act 5) all look really good. The outdoor areas used during Act 1, however, seemed a bit weak. I don't think the game ever quite hits the high notes of Gears 1, but there are still some fantastic locales in there.Gears on PC supposedly scales the graphics according to your hardware, regardless of what you picked in the settings.

That's possible, but the end result was a game that looked awesome, and ran smooth as hell. Not at the highest resolution, though, just 720p.
Disregarding the PC version though, I'm a bit surprised by the performance and quality issues in the first levels of Gears 2. The underground section has been flawless and quite nice looking so far, but I get the feeling that once they reintroduce daylight, the visuals will take another hit. It's a bit weird, since my memory likes to suggest that the outdoor areas in Gears 1 never suffered when compared to the indoors.
So where is the screen capture tool?
QuoteAnd Dcharlie I said the other four levels weren't as good as the fifth chapter. Of course,part still felt a bit like jumping the shark to me but I digress!spoiler (click to show/hide)the worm[close]
that level is my biggest gripe in the game - no one on the planet wants to replay that level. NO ONE.
So where is the screen capture tool?
I don't know how you could nitpick the visuals unless you're comparing it to Crysis, maybe. This is the best-looking console game I've ever seen. I think it wastes Gears 1.
lol,I don't know how you could nitpick the visuals unless you're comparing it to Crysis, maybe. This is the best-looking console game I've ever seen. I think it wastes Gears 1.
I finally got to the first area that I'd say is genuinely spectacular looking (sunken city). Up until then, it had been really uneven in quality, with some areas feeling down right rough. They seem to be going for more variety though so I guess it's harder to pay attention to every detail.
On a different topic, didn't they say that they had increased the difficulty? I selected Normal despite feeling that Normal in Gears 1 was too easy, and this actually feels easier than that. I'm sure I'll regret saying that when I hit some choke point soon, though.
What's with people on page 10 playing on normal and complaining that it's too easy?
Yeah play it on hardcore, especially if you co op. Anything less is too easy.
I will say I was wrong about the story. I thought it was going one direction, and it really isn't anything like MGS4 at all. One last small nitpick....why did Epic pussify the Brumak in Gears 2? I remember in being scared shitless of the beast in Gears 1, and they are all cannon fodder in Gears 2. I had hopes to be able to fight one up close without a tank or heavy machine gun...I wanted an up close fight like what was offered in Gears PC. There weren't any other Locust in Gears 2 which picked up the slack either in terms of bringing the fear factor the brumak did in Gears.
There's 5 acts, you figure it out
i don't know what 'the nexus' is and i just played this a couple weeks ago
every other place in every other game is called 'the nexus'
you can pretty easily figure out where you are using the war journal
Dom finds Maria :(
you are towards the beginning of act 4 i think
act 4 is awesome
act 5 is awesome when it's not throwing stupid minigames at you...which is too seldom
spoiler (click to show/hide)panzer minigame, brumak rodeo, shitty final boss which might not even be up to minigame standards[close]
Picking this up tonight... this game is going to completely fuck my sleep schedule, but it's cool. Finally figured out how to connect the 360 to the internet through my MacBook Pro, so everything is ready!
halfway through act 4 on insane, sea monster boss was annoying.

sea monster? :hyper
was it as good as the re4 one? :teeheespoiler (click to show/hide)besides the annoying part[close]
Its an ok fight, the sea monster is pretty cool looking but the battle is too long for its own good.
No its not as good as the RE4 one, its pretty hard to top most things from that game. Cant freaking wait for RE5. Whats hte release date again?
FUCK THE fucking courtyard battle. What the fuck. SUCKS.
so your favorite moment was a bit of rollercoaster scripting involving no gameplay i see thats very surprising
no just fucking with you, i thought that part was cool too. too bad they kind of spoiled it at microsoft's e3 conference
