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

[QUOTE=myalt22;32337096]It's only a small amount of skins that are unobtainable without buying limited editions and whatnot, the vast majority is unlockable. I have seen the unlock screen, so I know this as fact.[/QUOTE] I think it's just Adam Pheonix who is unlockable on the limited edition.

[QUOTE=carcarcargo;32337242]I think it's just Adam Pheonix who is unlockable on the limited edition.[/QUOTE] Weapon skins, m'boy :v:

It's the flame skins, I believe. You had to have played the beta to unlock them. I can confirm there will be shitloads of Micro-transactions, mind.

Those are the main micro-transactions :v:

[QUOTE=Legolas;32337264]Weapon skins, m'boy :v:[/QUOTE] Ooo which ones?

You only get 1 minute to win, and only 12 waves, in beast mode. :(

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/llTai.jpg[/IMG] You can unlock weapon skins via achievements I guess, and it looks like you can customize your character, because I see a locus mask unlocked thing. [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spzJSE1jJZ8[/url] WTF is that giant ticker thing, and the.. centipede with armor!?

The mask could be an avatar award.

I haven't touched my Xbox since the last time I played Gears 2. I don't know if it's worth it to get back into it. I mean, I don't even know if my 360 even works anymore. It's been like a year and a half.

What skins are LE exclusive

[QUOTE=carcarcargo;32337914]What skins are LE exclusive[/QUOTE] I don't think the LE has any special weapon skins. I know that the Epic Edition/Console/Controller have the lambent weapon skin pack.

Beast mode sounded amazing until I found out that you only have 1 minute to kill everybody, and there is a 12 round limit. If they made it like Horde, it would be 5x better.. Still, it'll be amazing. It'll just be harder as well.

The weapon skins and characters are unlocked through achievements, which are nicely laid out in one of the menus. I got a bunch of chrome weapons and a couple of characters from my achievements in GoW2 and by just leveling up in this one. Finished Act I now. Very impressed. One thing I do find weird is that most of the weapons are available to use from about Chapter III, which is probably to cater for the 4 player coop.

I'm giving away a free copy of Gears of War 3! More info is in the vid below: [video=youtube;ylqBDol9yFc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylqBDol9yFc[/video]

Some random level 100 dude with the generic iSomething SocoolZ name on my team, I prepare my rage skill, the dude actually doesn't take my downs even in the middle of a firfight. All my ra..tears of happiness.

Whats your connection speed?

[QUOTE=Legolas;32339094]I'd come play with you guys but american matches + the random lagspikes I get every few minutes would make me throw my 360 out the window :v:[/QUOTE] You wouldn't want to, trust me. We all complain a shitload. It's only when we play those chill matches where no one is overly good that we have fun otherwise people end up eating every shotgun blast I put into their face and they either A. Down me or nearly down me in 1 shot or B. Just blow me to bits. That being said I do complain but I'm having fun (until it's the point where I can't even get a kill and I'll end up having like 3 kills and 15+ deaths)

Gears 2 is the only game in my entire life that has made me break a controller from rage. Halo 3 came close :v:
