Wonder if the online will actually be playable this time. Probably not.

Is this character confirmed, because if it is, I'm going to cum buckets

Oh god. I only JUST got through Gears of War 1 without dying from boredom.

I couldn't even finish Gears of War 2 because it was just more of the same shit. So glad I pirated it first.

>concludes

This better fucking end and not do all that Halo bullshit. When it says concludes, this should fucking be the last of the trilogy.

>>55313143
A character like that could make the game interesting again.

>>55312990

>brown n' bloom FPS #36457

But it ain't an FPS

>>55313000

> I'd love to see a colour other than brown in the next installment.

The second game had an entire level inside a giant worm which not only contained pinky bits of innards and gallons of blood, but also plenty of green glows tentacle like things.

Also the cave systems featured some different colors as well, glowing blue fungi and stuff.

But Halo 3 did conclude the trilogy. In regards to Master Chief.

>>55313179
Funny how they abandoned PC "because of piracy". Yet pirating is just as easy on 360.

>Implying it's Earth

>>55313837

Technically the Locusts aren't Aliens, or at least that's what the player is lead to believe. They emerge from underground, hence the name "Emergence Day". Their architecture is much older than anything on the surface.

Not earth by the way.

>>55313092

Crysis doesn't look that shitty.... WAIT! THAT ISN'T CRYSIS

>>55313388

A hacked 360 means no xbox live, which makes Gears mostly useless. No co-op/horde, no fun.

Sorry but no lady 4 u. in the Gears universe, women stary home and give birth to new soldiers, while the men go out n fight locus.

>>55316003

the question you should be asking yourself is why are you wasting your time with the game's shitty deathmatch when every other mode is 14532532152 times better, and there are dozens of other games that do DM better

>>55317962

Pretty par for the course, isn't it?

>>55318331
I would've put money on that they'd do the same thing they did for 2 and announce it in April and release it in October or whenever their "Emergence Day" date is.

>>55318859

Truth be told, I'm surprised by the late release date, too, seeing how 1 was released in 2006 and 2 in 2008. 3 years for a new entry into the series? Sounds like a lot of development time for a game that (presumably) won't be that different from its predecessors.

Maybe they're just trying to dodge some other releases, e.g. the inevitable CoD sequels etc.

Gears 1 was okay
Gears 2 is the worst game I've ever played
Gears 3 is WHO THE FUCK CARES. GEARS 2 WAS HORRRRIBLE

>2011

>>55313092

1. That was demoed on a PC

2. That's an Unreal Engine Tech Demo, not a Gears of War Tech Demo. Just because the engine can use colour (see: Mirror's Edge) doesn't mean the developers use them. Gears of War stays brown and bloom by artistic choice alone.

Why the hate on Gears of War 2?

ALL ABOARD THE COLE TRAIN BABY

>Didn't play multiplayer.

Where the hell did all the gears 2 hate come from? It was leagues better than its predesscor.

Granted, Gears 1 had playable multiplayer that didn't require you to wait an hour to find a match, but it had such a boring and uninspired story I didn't know what was going on most of the time.

>>55320883

But gears of war sucks

enjoy your shit game

Gears is a good fucking game.

What the hell is your damn problem /v/? You go on about 'fun' - This game TYPIFIES fun.

That's how John Dimaggio talks bro.

>>55320933
>Cole was the squad member.

LOL NIGGAH PLEASE DERP DERP

No, he was shit.

Best squad member was Baird.

A bro bought me a copy of Gears 2 so we could play together.

The co-op'd the campaign on the hardest setting, what a mixture of rage and lols that was.

We put like 50+ hours into the Wingman mode online(five 2 man teams in deathmatch) - Gosh we had some awesome times, we both got really great at it and use to really dominate at times.

I miss him so much ;_;

The Gears gseries are fun, quality games but not original - they don't deserve all the hate though.

My problem, I just don't find these fucking games enjoyable to play. Seriously, shit's just not interesting and the basic machine guns feel like they're shooting bb's.

>>55321034
Actually I did, and it's the exact same game. You probably just suck.

>>55321038

Bingo. Gears of War has a terrible storyline, so the only way to set it apart from its sequel is the quality of the multiplayer. Gears 2 falls flat on its face there.

The only good 3d shooter was Syphon Filter

Gears, RE45 and Uncharted are stupid. Flash no substance

>>55321244

>Seriously, shit's just not interesting

Yeah that chainsaw on the bottom of the gun is just boring. So is that gun that sends an orbital beam down on the field. Or that one gun that looks like the Nerf Big Bad bow that fires an arrow that sticks in and explodes whatever it touches a couple seconds later.

>>55320058
>Bad characters
Who?

>generic plot

I didn't care much for the story, too busy being entertained by the action. Gameplay comes first, story second.

>short single player
True that you can beat this in one setting, but I find it to be lengthy, I wish games were priced on what it is because yeah it's definitely not worth the $60 from the start, but then again, what games are? There's replay value if you bother to do co-op achievements.

>Broken multiplayer.

Congratulations, you are now edgy.

Please continue to like obscure games until you are cool enough to become a real hipster.

Has it occured to people tha tmaybe...just maybe some folks don't like the gloom and doom and hardcore grimdark vibe Gears gives off?

Ever heard of things killing the mood? A wayward comment, stinky breath, falling alseep during sex? That's kinda what the whole edgy vibe is.

Now if they wanted it to make it more realistic like say Resistance then that's a different story

>>55321459
>terrible story

>>55321693

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

>>55321493

Even with that I still can't get into the game. Guns in that game just don't feel powerful in the least, or at least are interesting and fun to use. It's all in the style of gameplay they chose to go for, and I just don't enjoy it.

>>55321693
>Implying Resistance: Flop of Man is better than Gears

>>55321693

>gloom and doom and hardcore grimdark vibe Gears gives off?

No because the only thing that truly gives this vibe are the pretentious commercials that want to imply there is something deeper when there isn't.

When you actually play the game it's just too wacky most of the time to ever be taken seriously.

I liked Gears of War.

Ya'll are hater.

>>55321422

>No you're wrong and you suck lol.
Gears 2 is terrible in every way. They've only just begun the process of patching it into something playable now.

A regular game of Gears 2 back at release date was;
>Bridge host
>"Fuck we didn't get host, quit out."
>Bridge host.
>"Okay we got it."
>Throw smoke grenades.
>"Wow, these guys are lagging all over the place"
>Run in with shotgun or chainsaw and clean up everybody thats stunned.

Now its the same thing but without the smoke grenades and more reliance on who gets host.

>>55322357
I hate that shit. A real woman soldier on a scorched planet would look like a dog's ass.

>>55322299

>I can't really argue something that has no basis in facts.

You're going to deny that the commercials with extremely out of place songs that imply a deeper meaning to the game aren't pretentious? Also they certainly don't match the mood of the game which is a bunch of gung-ho bears riding up mountains on giant tonka looking trucks to get underground only to go around shouting stuff like "WOO, I'M THE COLTRANE BABY".

>>55322196

Uh huh. Probably because you're an American. Gears 1 allowed people who didn't hail from GLORIOUS FATHER AMERICA. BLESS OUR APPLE PIES, NASCAR AND HILARY CLINTON WOO, to host their own games and allow people of their own country to play and enjoy a relatively lag and latency free game. Unfortunately, Epic fucked up hard in Gears 2 by adding matchmaking, a system that gave Americans host 99% of the time because they are the only country on the face of the earth.

>>55322008
I'm 22.

>>55322707

The majority of gamers live in the USA, deal wit it. At least ones that play shooters online. If the game doesn't have dedicated servers, its a fact that the majority population will get host more often.

I wouldn't listen to /v/'s opinion on this game. I mean it's coming from the same underage b&/manchildren who love pokemon.

Online may suck, but overall Gears was always a fun game.

>>55322810

>>55323009
I hate gratuitousness yes. Bloated, over done stuff that was a byproduct from someone with a complex yes. This applies to Gears it has no sense of subtlety and this is apparent with Cliffy B himself. Same with tripfags. The majority of people are anon so why go against the grain? It actually can help keep discourse somewhat civil especially when no one knows who the fuck you are.

maybe this time the host advantage wont be as bad.


probably not though

>>55323227

If they didn't have matchmaking, the host advantage would be limited to a single player rather than an entire team.

>>55322480
yeah kinda meh but Anya is pretty hot. real female COG is more like Bernadette Mataki from the book. just a big bad ass Samoan like woman.

The vast majority of gamers like Gears/Uncharted, why go against the grain?

Reading this thread is fun stuff; it's nice to know that other people dislike GeoW as much as I do.

>>55323326

Judging by this thread most people have barely even heard of the mother fucking game.

Not all games need an over saturation of color. I'm not saying "Brown and Bloom" is the only requirement Gears should have, but too many rainbows would make the series feel far too out of place.

Not so much about being "Hardcore," but there series is derived around apocalyptic atmosphere, so you're not gonna see much color coding aside from Locust architecture.

Other than people finding the art direction boring, I don't understand why they complain about the Brown & Bloom articulate design. Too much saturation would make it feel out of place...

Look at the sales figures for those two games.

Then compare it with a garbage game like STALKER, that launched buggy and shitty and never met hardly any of the promises that the devs originally made.

But of course /v/ forgives them, because it's obscure enough to warrant praise. For the moment....

Yeah he's such an idiot for trying to improve on something the previous games did poorly/not at all. What an idiot he is.

>>55323845
To create an apocalyptic atmosphere you need a lot of things which the other examples provide. Gears of war just has the setting done. Then the whole lack of story and witty banter and caricatures of soldiers throws that shit out of the window.

>>55323666
Hey, I like plenty of stupid TPS games (RE4 is one of my favorites) but on the whole, the genre is limited....it's just a clunkier FPS.

>>55323958
Too bad Cliffy B working on said plot or script is like Stephen Hawkins hiring Michael Jordan to teach him how to dunk.

>>55324022
RE4 has clunkier controls than Gears, what are you talking about?

>>55323148
I uh, I like the story for Gears, or at least Gears 2+Comics

I'm not expecting Hotel Dusk/Final Fantasy/etc. from it, but it's pretty coherent as an "Action Blockbuster" arch goes.

Except for the father of Marcus. They completely retconned that

>>55324022
FPS are just as limited. At least you can add cover and co op moves to 3PS. FPS has nothing like that

>>55324022

>RE4 is one of my favorites

You like RE4, a clunky, over the top game with an awful story and writing which has a huge lack of colors, but you don't like Gears?

>>55321519
Uncharted 2 was the only game on the current gen besides Halo 3 that I feel as though I got my money's worth.

Hell, Uncharted 2 is worth MORE than 60 bucks. And the amount of hours I've put into Halo 1, 2, and 3 is ridiculous.

>>55324022
Gears of War (1) is one of the smoothest TPS's I've ever played.

>>55323891

>>55324314
It's from another game that looks EXTREMELY similar to Gears.

This is why /v/ can't discuss video games

>>55324284

I like you.

>>55324022

>it's just a clunkier FPS.

It allows for much better movement and perspective, and while it lacks the precession to move over say, a small plank, most third person games have allowed for some way to fix that, and it offers about as many different options for genre mixing as a first person shooter genre does. And it's always better for platforming.

I never understood the appeal of this or Halo. I don't think I'm into the whole syfy military thing unless it's really advanced like Mass Effect or it's just modern like Call of Duty (or a touch of both like MGS)

Then again Halo is pretty far. but the guns and stuff seem kinda ho hum in comparison to other titles.

>>55323891
>implying that isn't a leaked picture from Mass Effect 3

>>55324076

>>55324103
It worked for RE4, because it's a tense shooter meant to make you really uncomfortable; it's tank control for a reason. When RE5 switched it up to try and make it more like Gears, most people complained (and rightly so; it didn't fit the experience).

Gears is meant to be a streamlined action game....and yet it would be better if it were a FPS. As it is, you have xbox huge characters all over the damn screen. I swear, that's the only game to ever make me have motion sickness.

>>55324644
Jesus christ, I can't believe we still have people defending tank controls.

There are better ways to make games scary than tanks controls, you fucking moron.

>>55324644
Fuck off bitch. RE4, 5 and Gears all have fine controls. Hate the games whatever but they controlled just fine.

>>55324492

Man, Halo has hammer that can block rockets and send vehicles and people flying. It has a grenade launcher with a giant blade on the bottom and shells that allow you to bounce them around corners, it has a gun than shoots waves of purple needles that flow to a target then cause them to explode in a fiery blast of plasma. It might not be chalk full of insane weapons but I'd say its got a good share of cool ones.

>>55324724
Don't worry, he's just a faggot who's never played games like STALKER and Penumbra.

>>55324459
Is there platforming in 2? Because there sure wasn't in 1.

>>55324755
I'm the biggest fucking Halo fan around and I gotta tell you, the UNSC's weaponry is very generic. It's not necessarily a bad thing, I enjoy the futuristic/upgraded versions of current weapons, but they are not very original. The Covenant's weaponry is pretty unique though.

Did I say I had a problem with tank controls? I loved RE4, controls included. Dead Space did a great job without them, too.

For an action game like RE5 or Gears, though, it just seems bulky and cumbersome...you lose the finesse present in a FPS, and it just feels too clunky.

I can't believe you're giving me such a hard time about this; surely it isn't that hard to believe that somebody doesn't like fast paced TPS games.

>>55324755
I guess that's all well and cool but for the setting I guess I still wanted more craziness. Like that Laser? Thought it would be different. And I understand it's for game balance but I kinda go into syfy expecting some real zany shit. I guess my standards are too high. I should try climbing down my high horse or stick with the less violent shit like Okami and whatnot

Is anybody going to try and defend Gears 2 as being better than Gears 1 or can I go now?

I want to go have a toss.

>>55324426
You can't really blame /v/. It's a btown and bloom, popular, 3D shooter action series (And primarily played on consoles)

It's to be expected. Still, /v/'s a bit harsh on the series. The first Gears of War was rather impressive upon release, and in fact still playable to this very day. Gears 2 hate is warranted (Lots of weird gameplay changes to the difficulty curve) but they're trying (read: trying) to make the action story coherent. You can't blame them for trying to tweak with the result of Gears 1.

The fanbase has a fair share of idiocy, but I always found the series gave off this badass, 3D re-imaging of older co-op shooters like Contra, Metal Slug, and the such. Jocks aside it's one of the few shooters now in days that feels like there's a connection to cooperative/retro gamers

>>55324644

>it's a tense shooter

With the exception of the regenerators, it really isn't. And the only aspect Resident Evil 5 implemented from Gears was the cover system, and it fucked up on that because you were extremely limited with it unlike in Gears were it's at least slightly intuitive and you're not limited by it. I don't know what you're getting at with it being first person shooter either since it works so well in third person.

>implying 360 owners don't hate this game

Cry more, weeaboo fag,

I always hated the character designs of GoW, for fuck sakes they don't even look human anymore.

>>55324970

>it just seems bulky and cumbersome

Well in Gears you are a bulky and cumbersome person. Seems as good of a half assed reason as using tank controls to make a game seem more "tense".

>>55325082
The whole village segment is very tense. I'm aware that multiple playthroughs dampen the feeling, but going through with just your pistol can be quite a rush.

Both Gears and RE4 are shooters, yes, and both in third person, but they play quite differently. The inclusion of a partner in RE5, the inventory change, and the dumbing down of health and weapons were one of the things that irked me about it; it felt like it tried to straddle both areas, but it fell flat on it's face.

Now Dead Space 2...I can get excited about that. Hopefully, it'll bee as fun as the first.

>>55325166
Shotguns being changed completely from Gears 1, to the point of sucking completely
Lancer does terrible damage
New weapons, new features to old weapons, etc.

>>55325252

>anymore.

This implies that they once looked human. Which is never. By the way, look what they're fighting. They're built like football players, and Coltrane even says during the game that he used to be a football player, or rather a player in football like game since it's a different planet.

>>55324981
Halo isn't really meant to be an all out sci-fi game. Yes it is about aliens and gallavanting around the galaxy and such, but the basic elements of the human society are pretty much the same as they are today. Same military branches, we still use metal ammunition, cars still have wheels and aircrafts still have propellers. They just tried to make it more believable on our part instead of taking it to the next level and having be just another generic sci fi space marine laser shootan quest to kill teh aliens.

Those of you who hate the gun play in gears of war, and it's story fail to understand that the entire design philosophy is based on the imaginations of 12 year old boys.

This game is a very gory version of those action figure battles you had with your bros in middle school.

A bunch of army dudes fighting the bad guys. The entire thing would have made a FANTASTIC 90's cartoon and you know it.

Scary Monsters pop up from the ground, and the heroes arrive and fight them off, cool sounding military stuff is being said, the monsters retreat back into their hole to fight another day. Don't do drugs.

Gears of War is a gory version of this. Which is why it appeals to me. I just "get it".

If you attempt to take the over the top characters and story seriously, you missed the point.

The entire premise is a lunch table conversation between a gang of 12 year old boys.

"You know what would be COOLER than a chain saw gun!? A bow that shoots arrows that make the bad guys explode! OOOR a tank with monster truck wheels!"

It's all about those stupid conversations you had with your schoolfriends.

Ooooh wait. /v/ has no friends.

>>55325342
The village is the only good part. The rest is balls or meh.

>>55325266
>Seems as good of a half assed reason as using tank controls to make a game seem more "tense".
Because it feels like you're playing a nightmare, where your movement is muddled when you panic; it takes a cool head to move, and if you freak out and run all over, shit goes poorly.

I'm well aware you don't need tank controls to make a horror game, but they are effective at what they do. I don't need clunky controls in a action game; I play it for the action. I play horror games for the atmosphere.

But that's beside the point; even with tank controls, RE4 controlled very well.

>>55325409
Stop looking for sense in this, their necks are as thick as their immense thighs. It just isn't right.

>>55325460
My version of that would be ninjas that fight in space.

>RE4 controlled very well.

And so does Gears. Except for you, apparently.

>>55325166

Terrible matchmaking.
Smoke grenades don't actually smoke but instead blow you across the room and knock you flat for 5 seconds.
Shotgun shoots very slowly
All the actions are alot slower. In Gears 1 you could slide to a wall, go around it, shoot and then roll through their gibs in one swift movement. Gears 2 has a short delay between all actions that makes the game slower.
Lancer slow down is fucking retarded. It even works when you're running sideways or away from someone.
Proximity grenades, what the fuck.
Significantly harder to no-scope with the snipers which when coupled with the active reload nerf makes it a very useless weapon.
Boomshot gets three shots was a fucking mistake. They should have kept it as is.

Yadayadayada, i'd probably have more to say if I played it like I had Gears 1.

>>55325460
What if we watched Power Rangers and feel no nostalgia for GoW?

>>55325460
>If you attempt to take the over the top characters and story seriously, you missed the point.

Someone better tell Cliffy, then..

>>55325122
Uh, okay, but can you give an explanation?

>>55325166
Everything is much more slower/clunkier. Grenade wall tags are unneeded, chainsaw revs (While not as prevalent) have become an issue just because of the tanking a charge can take. There have been some improvements though, such as Sniper nerfing.

Honestly, I haven't played it too recently, but I bothered with all of the map packs and constant, updated multiplayer. Everything became dedicated to the slower, casual player, and now they're trying to find a mix.

Gears 1 may have been a shotgun rodeo, but the pacing required practice to adapt and earn your kills for the most part.

>>55325460
>If you attempt to take the over the top characters and story seriously, you missed the point.

And yet they added the shit with Dom's wife and talk all that shit about story. It's like game developer's don't know what tone and shit is. I swear Kojima is the only one that could joke and then be serious even if some shit was wonky. I mean the whole joke about the butterfly and Big Boss' lost eye in 3 was done very well.

>>55325460
I'm not 12 anymore, furthermore I watched shit like Thomas the Tank Engine, not your GI Joe shit.

>>55325608

I never knew people cared about Gears's multiplayer so much.

>>55325661

Or to host the game

Confirmed for sonytard.

I still die a lot when hosting a game

but

Touche.

>>55325044

>Is anybody going to try and defend Gears 2 as being better than Gears 1 or can I go now?

I'll definitely defend it on a single/cooperative point of view. I couldn't give two shits about the multiplayer though.

>>55325562
Yup. Exactly why I don't like it. When a game gives me motion sickness from all the poorly designed gray characers fighting gray enemies in a gray landscape, I tend to hold it against the game. I'm sure Geow2 fixed the color problem, but I just don't care enough to check it out; like I said, TPS games aren't my thing.

I do like how waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back up here I said:

>>55323473
>Hey, if you have fun with it, good for you.
Jeez, you guys are so sensitive...heaven forbid someone not like your game.

>>55325460
>If you attempt to take the over the top characters and story seriously, you missed the point.

Then what about the whole "serious" plot about Dom's wife, the extremely pretentious music to the commercials, and the odd comedy (We're fighting a war to the death and there's COLE TRAIN BABY!).

>>55325690

You're acting as if character exposition can not travel to emotional realms in a complete fantasy environment. Just because you aren't supposed to take the characters seriously doesn't mean you shouldn't like them, or care about them.

The books go into great detail about their lives before E-day.

Dom knew Maria since the fourth grade. That makes the scene even sadder. Doesn't mean watching Cole Train bust down a wall and go "WHOOOOOOOOOOOO!" any less funny.

>>55325900

Don't forget how they tried to make people care about Tai when he washed his mouth with buckshot or when Carmine2 died in the GIANT ENEMY WORM
