Where's Gears 2 for PC?:lol
Where's Gears 2 for PC?
4 player co-opAll I needed to know.
Gears 1 on PC had more content than the 360 version.deez nuts have more content than your PC version
If I dug Mass Effect, would I dig the Gears games?
n/m then. :fbmDon't listen to them,Gears of War games are very easy...on easy settings

Very easy to get into,even if you suck at shooters
Think Mass Effect 2 without powers
you need more color.
somber music over vague CG footage of action figures? breaking new groundIt's not CG...in-engine,recorded
have they announced any why they needed to make the woman a soldier? five person co-op?
and I agree with AdmiralViscen. Gears 2 campaign was great but versus multiplayer was a mess compared to Gears 1. Horde was pretty fun.

I'll play Gears with anybody. I never got to finish the campaign with Eric P.
the 1st?
Yeah.
CG-something done totally offline,days to render a frame if needed...turbo expensive
This,Uncharted,etc...done in-engine,"settings=high",or even the same,depending on the purpose...performance problems,etc avoided by recording...cheap
Nitpicking a little...
Here's what i don't understand.
Clearly it's not CG, in the way we perceive CG to be. But that's another thing, what i don't understand is why people would complain about the format of the trailer, given that it was a trailer that was going to debut on a Talk Show.
What did you expect? Gameplay? 3 min montage of somebody playing the game? Really?
Bah,i was just correcting you,not that it matters much...well,at least not here :)
technically you were the one nitpicking by taking offense when I called it CG ;)
There is no wrong or right in using either one...totally up to game dev...every decision is good:smug
If it's not under my control,i don't care what it is
Absolute dog shit of a trailer.
They changed Anya's character look for the worse, Marcus looks funny in that suit. Dom looks cool.
I'm generally mostly puzzled by people who try to piece together a story out of Gears (or Halo for that matters) All these games simply are excuses to roll around different levels and see crazy shit go down as you mow down aliens. The "story" of these games are the set piece battles. Not some interactive storytelling.
I honestly couldn't tell you much of anything that has occured in the Gears "story" outside of evil aliens that come out of the ground. Halo isn't much better despite having a legion of fans who swear by that story. If you're playing these games for the story that strikes me as odd but whatever.
Gears 2 was the far better game for me. Gears 1 is basically cool because it's an introduction to a universe and mechanics but Gears 2 was the game I had a lot more fun actually playing. The little roller coasters bits are very enjoyable. Hopefully Gears 3 will be even better than that. (And fuck a "story" even though they are going to try to tell one)
::)
You really want to troll in that direction? Gears 2 made the same leap from its predecessor that Uncharted 2 did. A stabler framerate despite the bigger scale and more activity is a pretty significant technological leap.
I agree with you on the importance of story to these kinds of games. It's why I found Gears 2 annoying at times. It had way too much story crap that I couldn't care less about.
Reading Third's post sometimes I get the sense that graphics are the actual game and the actual game is something that is mostly to be ignored.
Gears 1 is better imo. The thing that made Gears awesome at that thime were the awesome next-gen graphics. And Gears 2 basically looked like Gears 1. So Gears 2 didn't have anything left to impress.

Other than the Maria stuff (and the speech making at the very beginning of the game) I honestly don't remember any of the Gears 2 "story".
That's exactly why it's so terrible.
I can't be the only one who remembers Epic making a BIG deal about hiring new writers for the story, talking about how the story made people cry, etc etc.

Who cares. The "story" of the first game is no better. These sort of games in fact weaken when the story takes more focus. Who believes Epic when they say they are making this kick-ass story for the 2nd or 3rd game beyond the gullible. I care about them making a kick-ass game. Just like I did for the first. Just like I did for the 2nd. Just like I do for the 3rd. No one cares why you are killing aliens. They just want to kill aliens.
Do you now understand why I was genuinely excited for the story in 2?
Do you now understand why I was genuinely excited for the story in 2?
No.
Were you also excited for Halo 2 back in the day? A game with an absolutely incomprehensible plot imo. Or God of War 3. A game series with one of the most boring "Angry" man leads of all time.
Uncharted 2 has a good game story for the most part. Why is everybody now pretending that this is the standard for every game. Or that it matters at the same level for every game in an interactive medium.
This whole "It's an action game so the story doesn't matter" mantra is a pile of rubbish.
here is your story:

What happened to the Sony tards who SWORE this would be multiplatform on the PS3?Probably the same thing that happened to a lot of PC gamers who swore 2 was coming to that platform and then when it didn't decided it was a shitty franchise anyway.

Worrying about the story in an action (not adventure or action/adventure) game is fucking pointless.
It does annoy me, these gaming hipsters that are all "nobody gives a shit about the story".
Whatever, go play fighting games. Or stick to online deathmatches and platformers.
I do in games where they matter. A great story wouldn't make DMC or Ninja Gaiden any better.This whole "It's an action game so the story doesn't matter" mantra is a pile of rubbish.

yeah, gaming hipsters, brah. how about people who have taste and know when a shitty narrative is being flung their way?
Whatever, go play RPGs. Or stick to watching crap movies like Avatar or Summer Comic Book Hero movie #39874092. I hear the newest one is dark and edgy to make 20-somethings feel validated for holding on to their love of super heroes.
The MGS games have perfect stories for videogames,
unless you start taking them seriously.
I do in games where they matter "", oh oh. And tell me, in what games do they matter?NOT FUCKIN ACTION GAMES OR MODERN DAY BEATEMUPS
Name me the games out there that have great stories?
I'll spot you Uncharted 2, and Mass Effect.
And this comes from someone btw who actually probably cares more about story than the average gamer type.

Go play RPGs? What does this have to do with anything?
What did you even attempt to say with that last sentence anyway? It's like you started swinging around waiting to hit a dead cat.
The game industry fellates itself on telling good stories cause it hates itself for distributing synapse porn. I love how the focus on Gears is "the epic conclusion to the story" just like it is with Halo and Splinter Cell and all that trash. Bullshit. it's about pressing buttons to chainsaw aliens, shoot aliens, and silently snap necks.
ninja gaiden nes did it just fine.I do in games where they matter "", oh oh. And tell me, in what games do they matter?NOT FUCKIN ACTION GAMES OR MODERN DAY BEATEMUPS
rpgs
adventure games
"adventure" games
Everything else is just giving you an excuse to go kill shit. Imagine if games back in the day like Streets of Rage, Shinobi, Final Fight, etc. tried to have fleshed out stories. :lol
It's just a big dumb post.
Comparisons to porn are ridiculous, as porn is a sexual stimulator that has the objective of having you cum to what you are watching. Games are largely like movies, with the difference being that you can shift some of the focus out of the story, because interactivity alone will already give you an emotional response.
Problem? Age. The longer you play Single player games, the less impressive and engaging the simple fact of interactivity becomes, and more and more is expected from the context and effects of such interactivity.
Unless you are distinguished mentally-challenged, and just killing stuff on screen is all you need to be emotionally stimulated for the rest of your life. Kudos to you, but for the rest of us who aren't distinguished mentally-challenged, the gaming industry is trying to step up to the plate.

Great stories?
Let me see...i think Bioshock 1 had a great story. But that's the feeling i got at the time.
Good stories is easier to spot (Some better, some worse), namely Mass Effect 2, Knights of the Old Republic 1 and 2, Uncharted 2, Metal Gear Solid 1 and 3, Second Sight, Heavy Rain, Assassins Creed, Splinter Cell Conviction, Max Payne, Call of Duty 4, God Of War, Gears of War 2, Halo, Tales of Vesperia, Condemned etc
I absolutely, and 100% believe that there's a place for story and place for no story. No story games are obviously ones centered around mere competition, which is why MP has become so big. Games that are based around character progression through series of events, demand stories to be told or they are condemned into being deathmatches with bots. That's what i believe in, and that's what many developers are starting to believe in too now that they are slowly realizing that they stopped being 14 year old kids a long time ago.
This is not "back in the day" anymore. Back in the day, you were watching Double Dragon on your VHS and swearing to your friends it was the greatest shit ever. Those days are gone.
It's the future anyway, so it's not like i'm too worried.

It's the same as saying that movies, in how they stimulate fear, enjoyment, sorrow, desire, pain, discomfort, tension basically is the same sort of stimulation porn achieves.

"Cliff found out that 60 percent of the people stop playing the game without finishing it. (Yeah they're called N00bs). So in order to help them out, there's going to be more story and character development, but also the difficulty will be lower. (a double edged sort as some would say)"
