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

I swap between C. Carmine and B. Carmine for the COG, and then I again swap between the Savage Drone and Queen Myrrah, for the Locust.

[QUOTE=Grim Joker;32584514]Better than Gears 1 and 2 combined? No. The story was the squad wandering around getting nothing done and then meeting Adam Fenix and then having his miracle machine kill everything. It was boring, none of the characters were developed, and the dialogue was kind of bad. Everyone was suddenly a wise-cracking sarcastic badass, even though beforehand they all had unique personalities. To say Gears 1 and 2 combined was worse than Gears 3 is just silly. It isn't so much that you're forced to buy the DLC, it's that they give us a game and then say "okay, now give us sixty more dollars if you want!". It's the entire principal that they released DLC that is equal in price to the game you just bought, on day one, that bothers people. B Besides, all of the weapons skins, along with Bernie, the Onyx Guard, and a Locust guy I can't remember, are already on the disk. They're charging you money to unlock things that you already paid 60 dollars for.[/QUOTE] Stop acting like [quote]"BUY THIS OR ELSE YOU WON'T EVER BE ABLE TO PLAY GEARS AGAIN".[/quote] because that is far from the case. And I said IMO,IN MY [b]OPINION[/b], I loved gears 3 story but could never get into gears 2 or 1's story that much. I never said FACT GEARS 3 IS BEST OUT OF ALL 3 GAMES, no no. I don't get why you can't be grateful for such an amazing game, instead you decide to just shit on the features that are worse than others. You are seriously acting like this game is absolute shit and isn't worth playing. Meanwhile, it's worth playing more than complaining on some forum. I've yet to take this game out of my xbox. I get it, you bought the game, you have the right to complain, but seriously, there isn't much to complain about besides the bad story, which has been repeated since gears 3 came out.

I can complain because of the fact that the map packs cost nearly the full price of the game (And do in some cases (Not being able to purchase individual things)). The fact is that a few maps don't cost £8 in comparison to the actual game. Think about it - if a game costs £30-£40. This includes models, textures, maps, voice acting, level design and many more -the simple fact is that map packs (usually 3-4 maps) shouldn't cost 1/4 of the game in comparison to the rest of things. Yes - I do know that the weapon skins are optional - but the fact they have the nerve to announce several map packs that cost nearly the price of the game BEFORE launch is something I really don't agree with. Alongside that - several of the maps/playermodels/skins are already on the fucking disk - this is actually illegal in Europe but because of Microshit points they bypass it - which is bollocks. I love the game, seriously I do - but I do not agree with the way they treat their fans, this goes for several thousand developers out there.

I mean, we all know that no matter what, they WILL be making a map pack, so they are just stating the obvious really.

The last chapter on Insane is a fucking cheap joke. RAAM on insane was a piece of piss in comparison.

I'm really weird when it comes to weapon skins. Both my weapons have to have matching skins or it bothers the hell out of me.

In this thread at the moment it's either, "Agree with me or fuck off" or "I state my opinion and allow you to disagree, not really get out"

[QUOTE=myalt22;32588403]The last chapter on Insane is a fucking cheap joke. RAAM on insane was a piece of piss in comparison.[/QUOTE] Heh, my friend who dies like 25 times on the first level, ON CASUAL, thought he could beat it on insane. Needless to say, he raged A LOT.

four hat tricks and three the super ribbons in one round with a longshot, can I get a hell yes?! V:v:V

I didn't think RAAM on Insane was easy at all, i had problems killing him on Hardcore, mind you i was with the Bot who kept running up to RAAM and getting himself downed and/or killed, i had to run over and revive him or he died or I'd die for trying to revive him, i yelled alot during this level on this difficulty, i haven't even tried Gears 3 on Insane or Hardcore yet, i want some people from here to go through it with.

I got the longshot on Gridlock and my ENTIRE TEAM, I shit you not, kept spamming the Trade instead of fucking shooting the locust. Then we lost because I was the only one [i]trying[/i] to kill them :geno:

[QUOTE=Viorotica;32589039]I didn't think RAAM on Insane was easy at all, i had problems killing him on Hardcore,[/QUOTE] RAAM even on Hardcore is fucking hard. I'm not saying he's easy. I mean that RAAM is fucking easy in comparison to Tempest.

Was Tempest that fucking Moth at the end of Gears 3?

[QUOTE=Viorotica;32589408]Was Tempest that fucking Moth at the end of Gears 3?[/QUOTE] Yup. In my opinion Tempest was easy as heck while RAAM was a bitch [editline]2nd October 2011[/editline] Also, easy MVP ribbons - social TDM

The difference between Tempest and RAAM was RAAM got up close and personal whereas with Tempest you just had to hide behind cover and move around said cover till he fell. [editline]2nd October 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Legolas;32589417]Also, easy MVP ribbons - social TDM[/QUOTE] Easier MVP Ribbons, Capture The Leader vs Bots with a win round of 1 and 10 second Capture time, trust me, on Casual it's the quickest way to get that Ribbon.

[QUOTE=Legolas;32589417]Yup. In my opinion Tempest was easy as heck while RAAM was a bitch [/QUOTE] Exept on Insane you don't get downed. You die instantly.

[QUOTE=myalt22;32589690]Exept on Insane you don't get downed. You die instantly.[/QUOTE] I was never downed when fighting Tempest, just smartly hid behind cover :v:

[QUOTE=myalt22;32589690]Exept on Insane you don't get downed. You die instantly.[/QUOTE] Only if you don't use the cover so coincidently provided.

So, what would be an easy game mode to nab some exp? Been playing TDM all day and am getting bored of it :v:

[QUOTE=Legolas;32589701]I was never downed when fighting Tempest, just smartly hid behind cover :v:[/QUOTE] You got lucky. I tried that part on insane by myself, needless to say I got SWARMED by palace guards.

[QUOTE=gbtygfvyg;32590099]You got lucky. I tried that part on insane by myself, needless to say I got SWARMED by palace guards.[/QUOTE] it's best to do insane on arcade with some other people, respawns and all.

[QUOTE=Dropout;32585587]I unlocked classic Marcus and had everyone in a horde game stare at me. So, what character do you guys use?[/QUOTE] COG: Ben Carmine because he has my name. :3 Kim, Hoffman and Prescott are next after him though. Locust: Savage Grenadier because he's a BAMF. RAAM when I buy him because he is the best and I used him in Gears 1 & 2 multiplayer. (Was RAAM even in Gears 1 multiplayer? I blindly assumed so, but I haven't played Gears 1 since 2008 so I can't really remember.)

Shriekers are annoying, they have low health compared to alot of other things and i look at them as flying tickers, but they have what i'm thinking are dual miniguns that do alot of damage. I'd say they're the most annoying enemy in the game.

[QUOTE=Legolas;32589757]So, what would be an easy game mode to nab some exp? Been playing TDM all day and am getting bored of it :v:[/QUOTE] Horde if you get good players.

Finally unlocked Prescott. About damn time.

Does anyone want to go on Horde Mode on Normal? Waves 1 - 50? Super Reload Mutator?

[QUOTE=Zinayzen;32592597]Finally unlocked Prescott. About damn time.[/QUOTE] [h2]HOW.[/h2] Also played Gears last night with bros for like 7-8 hours straight, was sniping people with the longshot all day. Sandbar is a great sniping map. :v: And then we played horde on normal on overpass, got to wave 45 and we just couldn't beat it. But that damn exp was so good.
