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

404 statue not found

[QUOTE=myalt22;32429294]Not might, it's certain. We'll get a prequel set in the pendulum wars, and it'll also explain what happened to Marcus' mum in the Hollows. I'm calling it right now.[/QUOTE] Nobody knows what the prequel will be. Could be Eday, could be pendulum war. Stop saying rumors, are certain.

[QUOTE=Delta616;32429383]Nobody knows what the prequel will be. Could be Eday, could be pendulum war. Stop saying rumors, are certain.[/QUOTE] Hugely successful franchise with a shitload of mysteries that are unanswered. You're right I don't even see why they would make another game.

[QUOTE=Grim Joker;32429593]Hugely successful franchise with a shitload of mysteries that are unanswered. You're right I don't even see why they would make another game.[/QUOTE] Umm what? They are making another game set in the gears universe, it is the setting that's undermined.

[QUOTE=Delta616;32429690]Umm what? They are making another game set in the gears universe, it is the setting that's undermined.[/QUOTE] He didn't say the setting was confirmed, he said a prequel is basically confirmed, and then speculated on what the setting would be.

[QUOTE=Delta616;32429908]"We'll get a prequel set in the pendulum wars" He basically said it like it was confirmed.[/QUOTE] and then he said 'calling it now', which implies he is simply speculating and believes that it will be confirmed. Please read someone's entire post before disagreeing with them. [editline]22nd September 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=usaokay;32429931]The Old Spice guy voices the COG Gear.[/QUOTE] He does? It doesn't even sound like him.

[QUOTE=Delta616;32428291]Welcome to the modern day market strategy. Don't like it? Don't invest in the products.[/QUOTE] I can't think of another game that left the ending completely open in order to pave the way for DLC. Many games leave [i]some[/i] things ambiguous for a sequel, but nothing like this.

Figured I'd post this here again.. I'm doing a walkthrough and I'm 5 parts in (first 4 are 10 minutes, future parts are 20 minutes) [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hb5xH4wxGsc[/media]

We should do a 4-player insanity run on Arcade mode.

I keep worrying when i enter this thread, I don't want anything spoiled haha. Also how have you guys found the online so far?

Anyone else find Beast mode too easy? The Berserker makes it way, way too easy. Not that it's difficult before you get it. It's still pretty enjoyable though.

Great thing is the game is here (yay :D) the bad thing they didnt ship my XBOX keyring neither my Commando Doom code and the store is going nuts about it with Microsoft, oh Brazil why this doesn't surprise me? Anyway! TO THE GAME AHOY! :D [editline]today[/editline] No Gears of War 3 for me yet biggest TV = busy :sigh:

This game really is great. I never understood the hate towards it besides the fact that it's a console cover shooter. The third game is surprisingly colorful.

[QUOTE=redBadger;32433141]The third game is surprisingly colorful.[/QUOTE] That was one of the things I loved about the game, the change in scenery throughout the campaign was amazing. The campaign as a whole was actually great, the characters appearing and leaving in the final game in the various ways they did was handled extremely well. The ending almost wasn't worthy of the rest of the campaign.

Fuck, it's hard to find a Beast mode match. You'd think something so cool would have lots more players. It only has 3k players and I can't even find a match! God.

We got absolutely no introduction to them, and they were not fleshed out at all. They were just awkwardly thrown into the cast, and pretty much all we learned was 'Sam is snarky, Jace is a hothead, and Carmine... Wait where did that guy go he was here two seconds ago![/sp] I mean, they made it extremely obvious that [sp]they planned to kill off Carmine. He had such a minimal role and there were so many situations in which he could have died, combined with the fact that Cliffy B wanted him to die and was unhappy when it was voted that he should live, it just kind of seemed like them being brats about it and deciding that if he was going to live he was gonna have about an equal part in the campaign as if he had died.[/sp]

I finally played a little of Act I, the game is GREAT, AMAZING! Loving it specially Cole's lines! Movement feels better, cover too, graphics and colors are OUTSTANDING and i dunno about you guys but shooting with the lancer feels better too also the sounds are really improved! I have more to say but i'll say it another time. Bottom line is that it worths it's price for sure i am very satisfied.

Finally beat beast mode... Doesn't help that the Heroes can one shot almost every beast with the shotgun D: As Serapede, I go to attack someone, for them to run RIGHT PAST ME, trying to shoot my glowing green ass. I have to scream at people to "COVER MY ASS!!!" Chuckles went around when they realized how literal I was.

I find that retro charging some one is far more satisfying than chainsawing them.

Only to those who made at least half Act I, I always laugh when [sp]Carmine says something related to Bacon! haha[/sp]

[sp]OH MY GOD. CARMINE. THE GRUB KILLER LIVES!!!!! I AM SO FUCKING HAPPY[/sp]

[QUOTE=Agoat;32436089][sp]OH MY GOD. CARMINE. THE GRUB KILLER LIVES!!!!! I AM SO FUCKING HAPPY[/sp][/QUOTE] I woke up my neighbors when my girlfriend and I were jumping up and down screaming [SP]HE LIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![/sp]

[QUOTE=Agoat;32436089][sp]OH MY GOD. CARMINE. THE GRUB KILLER LIVES!!!!! I AM SO FUCKING HAPPY[/sp][/QUOTE] [sp] But dom dies.. I get the feeling that if Carmine died, Dom would live. I would've preferred Dom to carmine.. :( [/sp] Also, yeah, Retro charging is god damn amazing. Charging across the battlefield to get 1 charge kill and then dying is totally worth it. It's especially funny when you do it in front of their teammate. Playing Wingman, me vs 2 people. I charge the one guy, and his teammate is standing there for a second, staring at me, and then starts to shoot me.

[QUOTE=Grim Joker;32434718][sp]combined with the fact that Cliffy B wanted him to die and was unhappy when it was voted that he should live, it just kind of seemed like them being brats about it[/sp][/QUOTE] [sp]I agree with this 100%. It's like they hated the fanbase for choosing 'wrong'. It was sad too because he was one of my favorite characters, the one chapter he was actually in was great. I was surprised they let him live at all, I was honestly expecting them to just ignore the votes and just do what they wanted.[/sp]

[sp]I reall wished they characterized the new characters more. There was a great opportunity for characterization when it's hinted that Sam has feelings for Dom, but that's dropped fairly quick. Jace is a comic character, so his shit is all found in the comics and extended media. That's why I didn't really like Karen Travis writing the game, it felt like she assumed every Gears player read all the novels she wrote. And Clayton, man he had potential. It was nearly certain that he would live, so I assumed he would be fleshed out more. After what, two Acts maybe, he vanishes. I'd say most of his characterization came from the last bit, when he showed up and fucked Myrrah up. There it seemed like he was an irrational, gung-ho, possibly blood-thirsty man who loved the war and the fighting it brought. I'd still say Benjamin is my favorite Carmine, just because they did things with him. Dom dying was spoiled beforehand, plus I never really cared about Dom. Really, I just wish more of the characters had died, because, well they should of. But whatever, it was awesome. Really fun to play.[/sp]

[QUOTE=PyroCraz3d;32436220][sp] But dom dies.. I get the feeling that if Carmine died, Dom would live. I would've preferred Dom to carmine.. :( [/sp][/QUOTE] How do you figure? [sp]It's not like Carmine's death would have been as meaningful, especially because they announced what the vote was, so if he would have been slated to die, it would have been confirmed and people would have seen it coming. Plus there are a ton of references to Dom's death throughout the rest of the game. I doubt they changed all that dialogue and all of those cutscenes and an entire huge event just because Carmine lived. I mean fuck, look at how little effort they put into his character [I]because[/I] he lived. Do you really think they would have made him a lot more relevant if he had died?[/sp]

So me and some friends are planning to do some Horde/Beast on Saturday, and we're hoping we could get a few extra people in. We might do a small competition thing where we compete for scores if we get enough people. We might switch it to matchmaking or might even give custom games a try. Send me a PM or message Agoat944 on Xbox if you're interested.
