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

[QUOTE=Grim Joker;32466235]They didn't even need to put a lot into it. It was such an easy plot to write. The entire plot just needed to be introduce a couple new characters, solve some questions, rescue Adam Fenix, defeat Locust/Lambent. It would have been so, [I]so[/I] easy to do if they actually [I]tried[/I].[/QUOTE] Bro, sorry, but try to please everybody when you make a game. It's hard, isn't it? Well, they didn't please some people with the DBS, they didn't please some people with the campaign, they didn't please some people with beast mode. This game is nowhere near perfect, and nobody is really perceiving it as being perfect. We get it, the plot was easy to write and turned out shit. That's been said a lot. Not trying to insult you but it's repeating the same thing. Now, onto the DBS. Why the fuck are people so stupid? They think this thing is insanely easy to use when, fact, it's not. Gotta be in MELEE range for it to be effective, wait no, to even damage somebody. And then if you miss you're pretty much dead. People NEED TO ADAPT, sure they've been told that hundreds of times. But people can't accept that adapting to a situation will make them better.

Don't give me that bullshit about how making a game is hard, I'm not even talking about the game in general, I'm talking about the story.

The plot sucks, EVERYBODY gets it because you and everybody else keeps repeating it. It's just as bad as the DBS threads in the official gears forums. And it's not hard to write a decent story, but they didn't.

If you don't like it, don't read the posts. It's not like we keep going on and on about it, we're having a discussion and pointing out things we find that are bad as we remember them. It is a forum for discussion, and we are discussing.

That was a fucking weak ending. Way to answer questions, Epic. >:(

Last few pages all I saw was "ending didn't answer anything", "wtf ending didnt answer shit" "wait what up with the sires" "yeah idk whats with the sires" "didnt answer anything". I just really dislike seeing things being repeated, excuse me. Even though I probably repeat tons of things myself.

They know how gamers think, though. No story resolution. $60 DLC packages. That fucking Mad World scene. But people still buy it because it's a good game.

So, what huge plot holes weren't apparently filled? To be honest I was fine with how they ended it. Didn't really have any questions after I beat it. Perhaps I need to play them all in a row so I can remember the events in each game perfectly.

And to top it all off, Epic decided to be complete bastards and [sp]show Adam giving Baird a disc that explained everything AND THEN NOT SHOWING IT TO US.[/sp] Goddammit.

[QUOTE=Zinayzen;32466802] And to top it all off, Epic decided to be complete bastards and [sp]show Adam giving Baird a disc that explained everything AND THEN NOT SHOWING IT TO US.[/sp] Goddammit.[/QUOTE] Yeah, what the flying fuck was that shit? Goddamn, that pissed me off.

Hey guys! A bit off-topic(?), i'm looking for some people to play matches with, or even co-op compaign. As i just finished it myself on hardcore, i'd rather leave insane for co-op, not doing that myself. Most of my friends don't play Gears so if anyone is up for that, my GT is Combalex.

[QUOTE=DaysBefore;32466990]Yeah, what the flying fuck was that shit? Goddamn, that pissed me off.[/QUOTE] To be fair that's what the entire end was. "HEY YOU WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING? [b]TOO FUCKING BAD.[/b]"

[QUOTE=DX_V;32467384]To be fair that's what the entire end was. "HEY YOU WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING? [b]TOO FUCKING BAD.[/b]"[/QUOTE] It was more like "HEY YOU WANT ANSWERS TO THOSE MYSTERIES [I]WE[/I] STARTED?[B] TOO FUCKING BAD[/B] BECAUSE WE'RE [B]TOO FUCKING LAZY[/B]."

So I just got a code for Aaron Griffin by liking a page on facebook.

[QUOTE=Crpto2007;32468537]So I just got a code for Aaron Griffin by liking a page on facebook.[/QUOTE] Yeah, if you go to the page and like it they just give him to you. For those of us who are lazy/dumb/lazy, could you link the page in question to the thread?

I hate the sawed off in multiplayer.

[QUOTE=Kirby106;32469185]I hate the sawed off in multiplayer.[/QUOTE] But... They have to pretty much touch you to score a kill. If they miss they are completely defenseless. How do you let them get so close? They can't get to you if you use ANY weapon other than a shotgun, even a fucking snub pistol.

All they need to do is dance around cover until they're close enough, thus forcing you to either run away, or try to fight them off(which if you don't have a sawed off as well, will usually end poorly).

[QUOTE=Kirby106;32469185]I hate the sawed off in multiplayer.[/QUOTE] Get [i]away[/i] from people. Every once in awhile you'll get a pro creeper who will get you if you're on your own, but barring that you should be able to mow someone running up on you with a double-barreled no problem.

People should stop complaining due to their inadequacies.

[QUOTE=Kirby106;32469185]I hate the sawed off in multiplayer.[/QUOTE] I can easily beat sawn off users with the gnasher, I don't really see why there is so much hate for the sawn off.

Personally I think they should have kept Gears 2's writer, he did a really good job with the plot in gears 2.

I've only been killed by the sawn off once and that was because I was acting like an idiot.

[QUOTE=Janus Vesta;32470627]I've only been killed by the sawn off once and that was because I was acting like an idiot.[/QUOTE] I usually get killed by the sawn off either because A. I went round a corner and wasn't prepared B. They got me from behind.

[QUOTE=carcarcargo;32470645]They got me from behind.[/QUOTE] [sp]creeper[/sp] I played a match with a dude, and for the life of me I don't know how he did it, but he would sneak around the entire match with that fucking shotgun picking off spawners and stragglers.

Also is it just me or is the get griffin thing now working.

The anticipation of sneaking up to them, then tasting the fear as they realize too late that I am behind them...

Also what sensitivity do you guys have for looking and aiming? I could also really use some good tactics since I keep buggering up and getting shotgunned in the face,

[QUOTE=carcarcargo;32470979]Also what sensitivity do you guys have for looking and aiming? I could also really use some good tactics since I keep buggering up and getting shotgunned in the face,[/QUOTE] I keep it regular, because I need precise aiming because I use the Lancer. Tactics? Most people whore the shotgun. Keep your distance, and you'll rack up kills due to people attepting to rush you and failing.
