[360] Gears of War

The leak proably wont hurt enough to matter based on what you have to do to play it.

Unless your like tube and have 4 xboxs lying around.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

These minor details are inconsequential. I think he means no Live, or perhaps he will download it from a friends house.

Im probably going to play this online before I touch the single player. Sounds backwards, but this game is just screaming for some online blood baths.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Isnt this game using the Unreal 3 engine? If so, then their are a slew of games coming out using this technology.

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

Sucks to be German. Well, unless your into the whole prostitution thing. In that case, Cheers!

I wouldnt say thats necessarily true, but then again, like Slayer X said, it varies greatly.

I was speaking idiomatically.

But you shouldnt think a console sucks because of a few trivial problems.

Theres gonna be problems wether you look for them or not. You need to look at the overall package and how much enjoyment or lack thereof you have gotten out of it, and base your decision on that.

Theres always room for improvement, but dont call it incomplete and garbage because the company has not made those improvements yet.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I still hold high hopes for this game. Even if it isnt a killer ap its bound to be a great game none the less.

How ya doing, buddy?

Dude, Lost Planet at this point is so good that they could just release the demo as the full game and I would buy 5 copies of it.

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

Thats just the Unreal 3 engine. It makes everything look like that.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I didnt think this game would be as bad as GRAW when it came to getting unstuck from a cover spot. Taking cover is a major focus of this game, and being able to move from spot to spot smoothly is definately something they have worked on.

They do to me. You can pick out a game that was made using the Unreal 3 engine because they all have the same plastic look and a strange glow around alot of stuff.

The running camera doesnt bother me, but it seems like your character is oddly placed on the screen. He seems in the way. The positioning in GRAW was alot better when switched to third person.

Its gonna boil down to actually playing the game, but right now the camera seems a tad bit off. I just think of games like Resident Evil 4 that take the same approach camera wise, and nail it perfectly.

As much as I love the song, it still feels a tad bit out of place for the video. I know they were going for an opposites attract feel, but it just didnt fit the tone of the video.

I had downloaded cutscene trailer from gamevidoes(it was first intital hours of story), i was shocked to see the cheesy voice acting.It was really corny.

Gotta agree with you here. The same played out stereotypical voices and attitudes

Quote:

Graphics looking good but i think Deadrising and Oblivion were equally good if not better.I have to give credit to Oblivion even with jerks.
Its scale is so big, clip distance way long , where Gears is using too much depth of field,HDR and Bloom.The over all feel is not what i expected.

I would agree with you on Oblivion if you were referring to it on a PC with settings maxed. As for Deadrising looking better, please. Deadrisings only graphical claim to fame is how many zombies it can fit on screen.

Not all games require a deep storyline to have substance, but some would be alot better off with one.

FELIPE NO

I would like to have come clarity on this myself. My local EB told me the 8th, but alot of sites are saying the 7th, while on the other hand emergence day is on the 12th.

Edit: Thanks Throw.

Life defining,intelligent,emotional stories leave ever lasting mark on Brain whether its Novels,Movies or games. Games being interactive leave more deep scar on brain, isn't it?

If story is your main priority with gameplay being your lowest then you should be watching movies and reading books instead of playing games. RPG's might be able to squeak by with subpar gameplay, but FPS/Adventure games are all about gameplay with story only increasing the overall appeal of the game.

Residentevil, MGS, DeusEx, Halflife, Eternal Darkness, are all games that are known for their style of gameplay. Gameplay isnt just talking about what genre the game is in, its talking about how well the game plays (hence the name). Its about responsive controls, how the ideas in the game are executed and how those ideas all tie together. Halo 1 had a great story that was even fleshed out in books, but its claim to fame is its tight gameplay and control.

I had harldly missed any game on any console,alteast tried all if not finished.
What i meant, was that i can digest sacrifice of graphics to some level,and gameplay to some level,but can't compromise bad,cliched ,thrown for sake of it story.

Some games only have stories to provide some kind of momentum while you play. It seems like your arguing this case from an RPG players perspective. Where alot of times, story is very improtant.

Quote:

Infact all games have same gameplay , its not monthly we get games like Okami or Shadowofthe Colossus, it happens rarely in years.Is Gears an different in gameplay, RE4 and Killswitch bastard child.

Because based solely on what weve seen, GoW is refining those gameplay styles. I hate to keep using Halo to prove my point, but you know why its so popular? Because it refined the shooter genre for consoles. Much like GoW is doing for the next gen round of games.

Checking out the video now.

Edit: Links not working for me.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Sorry, I had to.

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

I reserved at EB and they wont sell till the 8th. So fucking gay.

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

Ill make a video of me playing it and you can just hold your 360 controller and pretend your actually there.

I want it now, because Im out of games to play. The only interactive thing ive done on this rainy day is vote.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

It seems alot of us are going to have to wait till the 8th, but did anyone happen to score a copy today?

FELIPE NO

Im gonna check the IGN review.

I just got a call from EB saying they wont have it till around lunch time, and I have to work till 8, so I might swing by that night, but I doubt Ill play it much after I pick it up.

How ya doing, buddy?

My gamertag is Zuki Method.

I just hope I can snag it tomorrow. The thing im most excited about is seeing this game in full high def glory. Ive only seen its amazing graphics in ads, screens, and small grainy videos. I want the real deal.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
