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

[QUOTE=Jurikuer;32455949]So humans have space travel, came from Earth, colonized Sera, and still can't manage to back out and regroup? Space travel alone has now alerted me to a whole shit ton of plot holes.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=DaysBefore;32456029]What? So the Humans left Earth, traveled to a different solar system, colonized this planet something like a thousand years ago, and some armored dinosaurs handed them their collective asses?[/QUOTE] :v: I'm just saying what my shitty memory is giving me

I feel like complaining on their forums about them being greedy ass dickheads and complaining about how they're treating their fans or something. But I'd probably be banned.

[QUOTE=OwnedByTheDog;32454359]How do you make it play? Or is it just random?[/QUOTE] Complete a multiplayer round without destroying any of the ash people. The next round will have the song play.

[QUOTE=Rage.;32454445]= I have a few people on my friends list that haven't even done the first chapter yet have a lot of multiplayer achievements.[/QUOTE] Some of my friends are all "HURR-DURR who plays the campaign mode it's gay" Makes me want to bitch-slap the dumb bastards. [editline]24th September 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=usaokay;32457469] and on a similar subject about the Pendulum Wars: I hope we get to at least see or play as the UIR considering that the only time you see them briefly is in Gears 2 and mentioned in Gears 3.[/QUOTE] I'm guessing that we'll get a prequel set in the pendulum wars. [editline]24th September 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=DaysBefore;32456029]What? So the Humans left Earth, traveled to a different solar system, colonized this planet something like a thousand years ago, and some armored dinosaurs handed them their collective asses?[/QUOTE] There is no space travel, technologically they are at the same stage we are (except for the hammer orbital strike system) [editline]24th September 2011[/editline] Also how come there was literally NO mention of Carlos EVER?

I blame Karen Travis' terrible writing

I liked the books... but they felt completely disconnected from the game.

[QUOTE=myalt22;32457686]There is no space travel, technologically they are at the same stage we are (except for the hammer orbital strike system)[/QUOTE] So humans 'grew up' on Sera?

[QUOTE=ZombieDawgs;32458425]So humans 'grew up' on Sera?[/QUOTE] It seems that way. I mean it happens in every fantasy world out there, so I'm open to suspending my disbelief enough to accept that.

[QUOTE=ZombieDawgs;32458425]So humans 'grew up' on Sera?[/QUOTE]Sera is the gears universe equivalent of earth.

[QUOTE=Dropout;32458533]Sera is the gears universe equivalent of earth.[/QUOTE] I thought so. Also what art style is Gears? To me it seems like a mix between Dieselpunk and a slight mix of Steampunk.

Got to wave 39 on Horde with 4 other random people. It was hard as fuck later on.

[QUOTE=myalt22;32457932]I liked the books... but they felt completely disconnected from the game.[/QUOTE] I read some of her star wars books and to be honest they weren't all that great.

I wish mad world played on gridlock all the time! It just so damn cool!

Just realized I've got enough points left over (that I didn't know I had to begin with) to buy a couple weapon skins. Which ones should I get? Damn, I wish there was like a skin viewer or something.

[QUOTE=Zinayzen;32459557]Just realized I've got enough points left over (that I didn't know I had to begin with) to buy a couple weapon skins. Which ones should I get? Damn, I wish there was like a skin viewer or something.[/QUOTE] There is kind of a skin viewer just hit the skin you wanna see and it before you purchase it will show up on marcus with a lancer in hand and the skin on it.

[QUOTE=seven 8 nine;32459648]There is kind of a skin viewer just hit the skin you wanna see and it before you purchase it will show up on marcus with a lancer in hand and the skin on it.[/QUOTE] Yeah, but half the skins are animated and those don't show up. Might grab the Imulsion one, it drips and looks pretty sweet.

I myself got the bloody skins with some leftover points. They're not bad. I'm just not a fan of the ones that don't make sense. But I do have to admit, I like the team pulse skin as well. Also, there's videos here that show previews of the animated skins [url]http://epicgames.com/community/gears-of-war-3-weapon-skins/[/url]

[URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FV3TdFlpcmU"]Found one.[/URL] Help me decide. :D

I always loved Mad World, but now everytime I hear the tune [sp]I'm gonna think of Dom[/sp] [video=youtube;0zHDKi4wbGE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zHDKi4wbGE[/video]

Hm. If I unlock the skin, is that skin unlocked for all my guns?

Also, I have a commando dom code that I will trade for a mechanic baird code if anyone is interested pm me.

[QUOTE=Zinayzen;32459795]Hm. If I unlock the skin, is that skin unlocked for all my guns?[/QUOTE] That's the way it worked when I got my bloody skins. I'm pretty sure it works that way for them all.

I beat Beast on Insane only to realize that beating it on insane doesn't count for jack shit. You have to do it without failing, which is basically entirely dependent on luck anyways. Goddamn, Beast and Horde achievements are bullshit.

[QUOTE=usaokay;32459888]Wait until you get to Wave 50. I spent four hours on it and I just gave up on trying to beat it.[/QUOTE] I just did wave 50 with some friends, 3 of us died from beserkers with only one of us left, in which he ended up spending about 20 minutes burning and shooting them over and over again

I like how Cliffy B said that they weren't going to answer everything, but seriously thinking about it, what did they even answer? They answered how the Locust and Lambent were going to be defeated, but that's about it.

Played Horde last night with a friend in real life, and three randoms. The map was Hotel and we got to wave 40 (even though two of the randoms left somewhere around mid-30's). The host then just rage quit after we kept getting brumaks. I don't think i'll ever beat Horde.

They answered how the Locust and Lambent were going to be defeated, but that's about it.[/QUOTE] There is so much they need to answer like [sp]how did Adam Fenix meet Queen Myrrah, and why the fuck Queen Myrrah looks human, what the hell were the sires ( which considering how in Gears 2 they made it seem as though they would be an enemy that would come back, I was rather disappointed at the fact they weren't in gears of war 3), what happened to the other two rift worms, where the hell the imulsion came from[/sp]and probably many many many more questions that have been left unanswered. Overall I think they should have kept Gears of War 2's writer, his story writing was much better.

You'd think those would be a problem at some point.[/sp] I can accept the Imulsion just being on the planet, but the devs specifically mentioned the Brumak being evolved from the modern day gorilla, which strongly implies earth or human origins. It bugs me that they just didn't even touch on that ever again.

Does anyone have any redeemable Gears codes besides Commando Dom?

God Commando Dom is ugly. I'll trade mine for a Mechanic Baird I guess, if everyone else is. PM that shit if interested.
