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

[QUOTE=PyroCraz3d;32863275]Gnasher only? Seriously? I'd understand lancer, hammerburst, and gnasher, but gnasher ONLY? Only gonna play 1 match for the ribbon and that's it..[/QUOTE] It means there is rifles, just no sawed-offs.

[QUOTE=BirdsOnMyBack;32864471]It means there is rifles, just no sawed-offs.[/QUOTE] No it means that there's a GNASHERS ONLY PLAYLIST. As in above TDM there will be a gnasher only playlist for people to use gnashers.

Play... as RAAM in the campaign? Holy shit.

RAAAAAAAAAM

take all my money

You get to play as RAAM? Take all my money AND MY HOUSE!

I don't know why everyone is getting so excited. It'll probably be a short segment that will be like the Brumak ride in Gears 2, or playing Beast Mode with a really good Locust. You'll just be playing as RAAM fucking shit up for a little bit and then back to Gears, I'm assuming. Either that or it'll be the end. Also, three hours? I doubt it. Cliffy B. said the Gears 3 campaign was 12 hours and I was able to beat it on Hardcore in 8. They probably mean 'If you're doing it on the hardest difficulty solo it's 3 hours.' [editline]20th October 2011[/editline] Also I like how apparently Zeta squad is just made up of a bunch of background characters nobody really cares that much about.

People really liked Barrick in the comics. Minh was ok but he was a dick. Besides Tai is the person that inspired the chainsaw bayonet.

[QUOTE=PyroCraz3d;32878332]not like anybody asked for tai or kim in Gears 3, right? wait[/QUOTE] As a multiplayer skin. It's not like people were like "WOW I AM SO INVESTED IN KIM'S/TAI'S CHARACTER I WANT THEM TO HAVE MORE DEVELOPMENT AND STORY DLC BASED AROUND THEM." I mean it'll be cool I'm sure, I just think there are better DLCs they could have done.

Just as I pretty much worship C Carmine, others might worship Tai or Kim and are overjoyed that they are in. I personally don't care for them, but I just cannot wait for that dlc.

Also, as much as I like inclusion of expanded universe material, holy shit knock it off. There are more characters from the books and comics now than legitimate game characters, just about. It would be good if they were introduced smoothly, but they're not. They're just tossed in. On my first playthrough, I had no fucking idea who Jace, Sam, or Bernie were. Same with that independent faction that shows up at the end of the game. They're not introduced or developed at all, they're just weirdly shoe-horned in and we're expected to know who they are.

There is SOOO much potential for a carmine DLC. You could introduce D. Carmine, or just some others. It would also explain where the fuck he went for 3 acts.

I wanted a manly reunion with Trescu and Hoffman... Anywho, just finished campaign on insane with 1 other guy.

Used him in Gears 2 and in 3 when he is released. RAAM has been my favorite Locust since Gears 1 and will always be forever. Played as him in Gears 1, 2 and in 3 when he's released. I don't really have an opinion on Tai, I don't remember much of him from Gears 2. I don't know really anything about Barrick as I haven't read the comics. I'm just super hyped to play as my favorite Locust, no matter how short it may be. Fuck the haters. :v:

Like that one black guy. Or that old lady. Or that other guy. Man, what memorable characters.

[QUOTE=DaysBefore;32881780]Like that one black guy.[/QUOTE] Jace? he says 3 sentences in ALL the novels put together. And Barrick I have no idea about. I did indeed expect Bernie to play a bigger role.

Wohooo I got the season pass! :dance:

So I'm assuming RAAM's shadow is part of the season pass?

[QUOTE=Hunterdnrc;32890657]So I'm assuming RAAM's shadow is part of the season pass?[/QUOTE] First four DLCs. So yes.

I played the most intense TDM match last night It went down to us having 4 lives, no respawns and them having 5 lives 7 respawns, it went down to 4v4, I took one out, then two people including me killed each other at the same time so it was down to 1v1 but we lost, the second round was a lot of fun too.

Due to the T-Mobile promotion glitch, I was able to get the Season Pass, Rainbow Skins, and Thunderstorm skins. (Along with Orcs Must Die! and Trenched) I have 200 points left, which skin should I get?

Just unlocked Anthony, played as him. Three vigilant matches in a row, quit playing on a high note. This night is a good night :v:

[QUOTE=gbtygfvyg;32899485]T-Mobile promotion glitch?[/QUOTE] There was a Microsoft Points promotion earlier today with T-Mobile. The site was in German, but it worked for anyone. All you had to do was put in a random name, a random username, and an email address. A code for 400 microsoft points was then instantly emailed to that email address. It was only open for a small period of time earlier today. I managed to grab about 5,600 free microsoft points before the promotion ran out of codes.

Looking for 3-4 players to do insane horde/beast with.

[QUOTE=ZombieDawgs;32904800]Looking for 3-4 players to do insane horde/beast with.[/QUOTE] We should probably do beast mode first since it's shorter.

I'm up for it, I know a few people that would be up for it too. That is, if they're online. [editline]22nd October 2011[/editline] I'll add you on xbl and whenever you come online etc

We're still looking for more people so just add us if you want to play.
