I didnt bother preordering it and could only get the regular one in the crscent, I'm not enough of a Gears fan to warrant spending the extra money on it (saving that for MW3 and Uncharted sexy editions) but it did look nice, the epic edition is fooking huuuuuge
dude..you do know that MW3 is going to suck and that BF3 is the one to go for?
Only kidding ...I like MW as well...just not MW2/3

am getting BF3 as well MW3 is COD's last hurrah for me, unless the next one is a drastic overhaul I wont bother, I hated Blops after a while traded after like 2 months. 0 -
I'm afraid I'd have to disagree. Whilst BlastedGlute comes across as someone who's trying to over compensate for something in his post, to suggest that GoW requires no skill is simply incorrect. There's a knack to the duck and cover system it uses (the same knack that gives you the eye for matching doilies and porcelain dolls as I described above
). It's a game with it's own skill set really, the only thing I've played seriously that comes close is the action stuff in Mass Effect 2. But against the AI, this is, to me, a system that's far more forgiving. It's also why I'd have to agree with the folks who suggest you ned to give a lot more thought to how you manage your engagements in multiplayer, you have to allow for the parameters (I almost said limitations, but that's not correct) of the control system.
I consider myself a pretty well experienced gamer with a reasonable skill level at a lot of games, but I got pasted hard in the 10 mins of Hoarde mode I played last night. A no-skill game wouldn't have done this to me. So I wonder how many unsatisfied sex dolls you're leaving in your wake Shadow? :pac:
nice text, but my answer is only one:
barrel roll shotgun trololololol.
and please, no bull**** about retro lancer taking care of barrel rollers, its bull****.
game has great mechanics, but it can all go to bin, as no one is using it. using the cover puts you in worse position, then a person who is just rolling. he has way better mobility, where you are just stuck. plus he can just jump over you and stun you. Any good game can be destroyed by community and the way people play it.
yup, i see you didnt got it. its impossible to satisfy a sex doll, same as having any skill in GoW.
Its not a game for me, sorry, but if you lads having fun, then have fun!
my post was more about that godness of PC gamers elite bananza.0 -

How the hell are people using the gnasher so effectively? Seems like 1-3 shots and im dead when i go up against people using it, but when i attempt the same thing it just doesnt work for me :mad: Seems hipfiring is the way to go with shottys.
Gotta be some pro Irish Gears players on here...
Gonna join you on this one! I love the multiplayer, but im really suck at it. lol Lucky enough to get 2/3 kills 0 -

Got the game there this morning and I have put a few hours into it. 50% campaign, 50% competitive multiplayer.
Campaign is good so far. The 4 player, drop in drop out is a great feature. The only two things I could pick wrong with it is the difficulty settings can only be accessed by selecting to play a new game solo and then join another players lobby. That and in hardcore mode, ammo is really rare. A few times I have had to resort to melee only.
Multiplayer is great. A nice balanced/"everything is overpowered equally" game. The visuals are bright, may too much, especially in comparison to GoW1+2. I am disappointed however due to my expectations.
There are only ten maps to play on which is a bit of a low count. GoW2 came with 15 maps on release to compare it to. People have pulled a few maps off the disc allready. There are some videos on youtube of people playing Blood Drive
Some of my favourite multiplayer characters are not there. RAAM, Scourge and the old Theron Guard have been removed.
The Retro Lancer has gotten a serious nerf since the beta. It is no longer an equal to the shotgun with it hipfire made less accurate. That an its ADS recoil is now fairly high.
Despite these drawbacks, I am enjoying the game and I intend to stick with it for a good while.0 -

You're absolutely right of course, it is built with the 360 pad in mind and it shows. I guess the point I wasn't making very well was that I prefer FPS in general and felt that this was an interesting enough universe they've created and that I'd liked to have explored it more.
As I said, I'm not hating on Gears, it's just not my kind of game

Find that if it's combat based then the gameplays pretty much the same with keyboard and mouse as with a gamepad but for TPS keyboard and mouse are better. GoW on the PC played great on the PC. GoW however is definitely well optimised for controllers.

And you're more than entitled to that opinion. Hell, but all accounts I should dislike Gears of War, but it all just comes together and creates a dumb fun, guilty pleasure for me. Sure, Vanquish took it up a notch, but there's something about the weighty, repetitive combat that clicks for me in a way it doesn't in, say, Halo.
Glad to see they're doing a little better on character development here though (the Cole Train flashbacks are dare I suggest strangely involving), although we're still hovering around 'semi-offensive stereotypes' :P0 -

The Santiago and his wife plot in GoW 2 should have been laughably bad and misplaced but it caught me off gaurd how well it was handled in the end. Hoping to be caught off gaurd by the characterisation in GoW 3 as well!

Just wait. I'd been planning to buy it on day 1 since it was announced, but then I realized I'd just be using my gold skins and not the liquid metal one. So, I'll be waiting until November to see what the first DLC is like.passingthrough wrote: »anyone getting the season pass thats out? i wonder is it worth it or is it good value for what we might get. i know its 4 dlc's but i would hate to get it and then 1 dlc ends up being 1 or 2 new maps
This has no time limit, unlike LA Noire. They said they may make it unavailable after the four DLCs are released, but you have months and months before that
Aside from taking more damage as you increase difficulty, one of the difficulty spikes is lowering the amount of ammo available. It's part of the challenge. However, I'm on Act 3 on Hardcore. (i) It's piss-easy (ii) I've never run out of ammo yetThat and in hardcore mode, ammo is really rare. A few times I have had to resort to melee only.There are some videos on youtube of people playing Blood Drive

They've cut a ton of content from the disc in order to charge for it as DLC. Blood Drive, Azura and something else were leaked and are on the disc.
Also pretty sure that the above characters will be DLC, too (apart from an older Theron Guard design). Not sure if it'll be paid, free, or part of Season Pass DLC0 -
