[360] Gears of War

I'm sorry to say that Cliffy B. himself said that the demo wasn't coming out until after the game's release, if at all.

No I don't have a source to confirm this so question it if you like for time and factual truth will stand to be my witnesses.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

True, but the PS3 is only $50 more for the standard which has everything, and more then the premium 360 has. Also Sony has a much larger following then either of the other two.

But hey, I learned a long time ago that you can never really predict what's going to happen before it does, so I just leave it at that each console has it's strengths and weaknesses and we won't know who "won" until it's all over anyway.

How ya doing, buddy?

Well non of the stuff for the 360 looked all that great at the E3 before it's release either. But that's because it still had 6 months before release, which is when the real magic happens for a game. Therefore the things we saw for the PS3, while some might not have been as impressive as others, they still had like 6 months before release, so it's not a good source to judge based upon. (and this is the key reason why E3 has now been moved to July to show off later and more complete builds of games.

Heck if you compare the E3 trailer for Tekken 5 to the final build of Tekken 5 there is a MASSIVE difference, so it really does make a huge difference.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I don't know if we're going to make this the official/unofficial thread for this game, but I'm going to try and keep this place up to date on this game.

GameTrailers.com now has a 3 part SD & HD gameplay demonstration on the functions, features and all around impressive demonstraion of this game that is TOTALLY worth checking out. Even if you're only slightly interested in this game.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Check it out, it's real. I don't think that it's possible for it not to be.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Doesn't really matter though for you need a modded 360 to play it. And if you do somehow have a modded 360 you definatly won't be able to play it online which is just as amazing as the offline portion. In the end it would only be "you" who misses out... not anyone else.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I hope so because I only like games that have depth to them, and this looks to be one of thoes. As for people runing into things, that all depends. If it's because of sluggish controls then that would suck. If it's because the person is not aware of their surroundings then they're an idiot and they deserve a deth of a thousand pains.

How ya doing, buddy?

It can in the states... depending on the state. I have many friends in the US on X-box LIVE and they all say different things as to how M rated games react with the public in each state. It's interesting to see the differences from state to state, though I think the general gamer opinion is pretty uniform on the matter in the whole country, lol.

I know here in Canada, not many people care about ratings. We (or at least most) believe in personal responsability. Therefore we don't care if you were robbing the bank like you did in GTA: Vice City, your and F'n idiot and you're going to jail. Think of it as a "director's cut" of Vice City. Sure we still have ratings and what not here, but the only games that you have to be 18 to buy is Manhunt, so for all you minors just hop on a plane and come to Canada when you want to buy GTA4, or all you Germans if you want Gears of War. ^^

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

That's good to hear. Because if I lived in Germany and bought a 360, I'd be so pissed if I couldn't get gears simply because that's really the only game that's actually worth buying the system for. Sure there are other great games like Dead Rising and Condemned, but I wouldn't buy the system just for either of thoes.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I bash the 360 from time to time because first off if you don't try to look for the faults in something, it'll never get better. I'm not saying that it's a horrible system, but really, there's not much YET that I think makes you have to buy the system.

Side Note: SF2 is a great game, but the 360 controller is horrible for the game. I have SF2 for the SNES and the PS2 and thoes controllers work a LOT better then the 360 controller. In other words I regret buying it SF2 for the 360.

COD2... a great game it is, I play it on LIVE a lot too, still not something that I'd buy the 360 for over a PS3. (price doesn't matter to me)

Chromehounds
Fight Night Round 3
Nintey-Nine-Nights
Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter

While all entertaining, I didn't keep any of them longer then two weeks. And Oblivion is also coming for the PS3, therefore you don't HAVE to have a 360 to play the game. (unless you've got a shorter attention span then a five-year-old on speed drinking Red Bull)

And like I said Dead Rising, SC: Double Agent are the only two games that are close to being "killer apps". And then you have Gears of War which is what I bought the system for.

And finally you say that we should start seeing better stuff now that the system's been out for a year. Well I'm currently seeing better looking games on the PS3 that are coming out at launch or close to it that look better then almost ANY 360 game (other then Dead Rising, Gears of War & SC: Double Agent). LAIR, Motor Storm, Resistance, Ridge Racer 7, they all look better then the 360.

Long story short, there's lots of potential in that white box. And I'm not upset about the machiene itself, I'm upset with the lack of titles for it that actually make it look like you're playing Next-Gen, and not the next half of a gen.

Finally everything I say is simply my opinion of course. I'm not saying that it's the word of God or anything, it's just how things look from a gamer that plays two games a week, and if there's not a high enough amount of quality titles I become bored and cranky. Hence why I'm still playing my PS2 more then my 360, the games may not look as good, but there's a lot more new titles coming out for it that are really good then the 360 right now.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yeah, I've been addicted to the online since launch. With a mic fix, ranked game invites, and some map glitches fixed the Cole Train should be running right into spring.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

The mic glitch is when the original players simply cant hear anyone who joins after the first match, not round.

As for the chainsaw thing, it's not really a glitch. It's just that you hit the dodge command at the same instant the chainsaw comes in contact with you, therefore it does both animations. It may look weird, but at least it's not a balance issue.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I've been able to get headshots when they're out of bounds using the Sniper & Boltok

Most amazing jew boots

The grenade tag recovery isn't all that fast, then again it depends on how good the people you play with are. Whenever I try to tag someone in my clan, if I miss, there goes my head via shotgun.

What I think is even worse then the tag is the chainsaw sucking you in when you're still two meters away from the stupid thing. That just annoys me, at least when someone tags I can blow them away in the process.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

You're right, it's only on gridlock. Just like you though, the team that was doing it lost 5-0 against my friends and I.

There's a glitch that I found that allows you to climb one of the tall boxes in the warehouse of Fuel Depot.

FELIPE NO

I could go for that. Set up a date & time and I'll do my best to be there.

Has anyone heard anything new on the upcoming patch?

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Here's a wealth of info of the two new FREE maps coming out Wendsday Jan 10th called Raven Down and Old Bones.

Here's a list of bug fixes that'll be coming in the patch tomorrow Tuesday 9th. http://gearsforums.epicgames.com/sho...54&postcount=1

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Hey for FREE I'll take anything... almost, lol.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Escalation is one of my best maps when the weapons haven't been touched. However I agree that rooftops is a horrible map. I also dislike Gridlock, it's way too open for any hide & seek gameplay.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I'm never going to play this game again until they make the Shotgun at least as good as it was in V1.0. After they changed it in the first update the thing became as random as a round of Russian Roulette and totally killed the game.

On the topic though it's good to see Epic keeping their reputation of keeping their games up to date. Not many developers are this committed.
