Gears 2 - Linked Achievements

[demi]

Gears of War 2 made an appearance at the Comic-Con today and some interesting news was dropped, announcing that Gears 2 would get “linked achievements”. What exactly is a “linked achievement”? Well simply put, things you achieved in the first Gears of War game will have an affect on your play through the much anticipated sequel. Cliffy B gave some examples of what he meant by linked achievements:

- Complete Act One in Gears Of War, unlock a playable Anthony Carmine in Gears of War 2
- Find 10 COG tags in Gears Of War, unlock Minh Young Kim in Gears of War 2
- Kill Raam in Gears Of War, unlock a playable Raam in Gears of War 2


Wow... Xbox does what Sony don't

Time to replay on Insane... anyone in?

But Sony has done this before?

(it's pretty cool, I wish more games would do this)

You should play Gears anyway

Apparently the Gears movie won't necessarily feature 'buff' bodybuilder characters like the game.

Awesome time to finish the Dom achievements online and try to finish this on Insane

I'm guessing it's just going to be pistol-sized.

awesome achievements idea though.

I never understood the demographic that buys the "super awesome edition" of every major game release. I know some of you are kids, and that's fine, but this group is also comprised of adults. Are there adults that keep these replica weapons/posters/cat helmets/action figures in there houses as some kind of trophy, and aren't living up to their basement dweller stereotype?

[brawndolicious]

I think a lot of adults would get it if it just shot water and made chainsaw sfx.

This video has a glimpse of what you will be getting.  It also seems like it is Amazon only just like the super special Fallout 3 one with the pipboy is.  I guess retailers don't want to deal with the space or something.

After getting the Legendary edition of Halo 3, I got turned off of this shit for good, especially because Halo 3 wasn't amazing or anything.  Ok, I might whore again if Nintendo had a replica of the Master Sword or Hyrulian Shield, but they wouldn't do that.

That's what she said!
