Gears of War Megathread V1: I'm coughing up blood that ain't even mine! - Games

Just played through the entire Gears 3 campaign. It is absolutely incredible, and if you liked the first two games then you will absolutely adore Gears 3. I had high expectations for the campaign and it definitely surpassed those. Now to get going on multiplayer.

[QUOTE=OwnedByTheDog;32377530]Just pre-ordered this. [img]http://i.somethingawful.com/forumsystem/emoticons/emot-buddy.gif[/img] [url]http://www.webhallen.com/spel/xbox_360/137392-gears_of_war_3-webhallen_locust_edition[/url][/QUOTE] That thing would be shit scary to wake up to in the night.

[QUOTE=Grim Joker;32378365]Am I the only one who thinks all this weapon skin business is kind of stupid? In Gears 2 the only weapon skins were the gold weapons, and those were for pretty dedicated fans of the series. Now there are like a hundred different skin sets, and nobody knows how to get half of them, and so now having a weapon skin doesn't mean you're good or you're a fan of the game, it means you bought something off the marketplace, and it's just stupid. I don't think they should be releasing all this pointless DLC like they are. Link the skins to unlocks in-game and then give us characters and maps or something.[/QUOTE] I'd rather not take sides on this issue, but just keep in mind this is a nice way for Epic to earn some side money. It's not a requirement to purchase the skins, it's just something extra for those that want them. There are still plenty of unlockables that require skill to acquire. Now, do I find the pink lancer and rainbow animated skin attractive? Not particularly. I actually find them tacky and somewhat distracting of the overall art style.

Mostly because they don't fit the game at all. Plus to buy them all costs FORTY FUCKING EURO. FOR SKINS!

[QUOTE=Janus Vesta;32378936]I don't like it either. Mostly because they don't fit the game at all. Plus to buy them all costs FORTY FUCKING EURO. FOR SKINS![/QUOTE] To be honest I think most of them will be unlockable in game

[QUOTE=carcarcargo;32379009]To be honest I think most of them will be unlockable in game[/QUOTE] Nope. There's seperate skins that can be unlocked in the game but the ones that have to be bought actually have to be bought to have them in the game. There's no legit way of unlocking them in the game.

I don't really give a fuck about the whole skin ordeal tbh. They're not forcing you to buy them to play. I seriously think they DON'T want you to buy the skins, because the majority of them look like shit.

Why must I wait until Friday to play this. ;_;

Picking up my copy tomorrow. Gonna play the shit out of horde with my dad.

Gotta wait till tomorrow after school to play. My mom's picking it up for me, so I'll be able to play by 3 PM. Fuck yes. Just gotta get through a boring ass school day and I'm good..

I sadly have to go through a day of A level lessons, however at least I will have the chance to play gears when I get back.

At the mall with my netbook, waiting for my car to get out of the shop next door. Do I leave and come back later on the for the midnight launch, or stay to be first in line? Agree's for Stay. Disagrees for come back later. Dumb for wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man to hold my place in line, while i'll come back later.

I'd recommend coming back at least an hour or two from now.

Make sure you have a music player and maybe a book to read while you wait.

Hopefully when I wake up tomorrow morning, there will be gameplay videos up on machinima. Need something to hype me up again, as my hype is dying down due to massive amounts of boredom.

I highly there will be 7 hour waits unless you're in the city or something.

[QUOTE=carcarcargo;32380954]I highly there will be 7 hour waits unless you're in the city or something.[/QUOTE] I'm not in the city, but some people who record for machinima might be. I hope my local gamestop won't be crowded, in fact I'm pretty sure it won't be. But yeah, there should be a video up by when I get up.

I'm not getting it until Thursday or Friday :( [editline] september 19th [/editline] Also theres gonna be my grandpa birthday here on Friday and the Xbox is with the kinect = the living room and i'm without xbox live gold :sigh:

I'm sure he'll enjoy the blood, gore and guts flying all over the screen as the sweet crunch of a skull cracking from a longshot pierces throughout the room.

[QUOTE=Delta616;32381916]There weren't any chainsaw bayonets in nam :P[/QUOTE] That's what the government censors want you to think.

[QUOTE=Delta616;32381916]There weren't any chainsaw bayonets in nam :P[/QUOTE] Next you're going to be saying there aren't any Nazis on the moon.
