prophetik music Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 i know that this is an rpg-bias forum, but has anyone else picked up gears 2? i turned in fable 2, fable, and another crappy xbox original game and wound up getting money BACK when i bought it, thanks to gamestop's 20% turn-in deal and my card. i think it's awesome - about as good as the original gears. better vehicular sequences, much more balanced gameplay. too bad shotgun dodging is gone, cause i SUCK at multi now. and horde is possible the greatest multiplayer experience i've had on xbox live. what do you think?

Zombie Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 LOVE it. was thinking about making a thread about it... Quote
Sixto Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 The screenshots I've seen for Gears 2 look amazing. I'm picking it up along with Mirror's Edge this weekend, but for now I just can't seem to stop playing Fallout 3. Quote
PlastikBag Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 It was definitely fun, though I felt like I was playing Gears of War 1 the entire time. I guess there's not much room to improve on the original. Co-op makes the game for me. I don't think it's nearly as fun playing it single-player. I haven't had a chance to play multiplayer, since I don't own the game (or a 360 for that matter). Quote
I-n-j-i-n Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 GoW1 feels like a stroll through the park compared to this one. The online is amazing (any mode) as long as you can connect the stupid thing. Quote
prophetik music Posted November 13, 2008 Author Posted November 13, 2008 we should get together and do an ocr horde or something at some point this weekend or early next week. what do you all think? edit: post your xbox live name if you play, i'll add you. Quote
Zombie Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 I wanna play! My gamertag is Synthonic. I'll add you prophet. Quote
FlagshipAmadeus Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 I put it in my letter to Santa EDIT: Yes I know it's not even Thanksgiving yet but Santa is a busy man so I had to get my request in early Quote
FuriousFure Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 we should get together and do an ocr horde or something at some point this weekend or early next week. what do you all think?edit: post your xbox live name if you play, i'll add you. i would also! FuriousFure lets do it! Wooo! Quote
prophetik music Posted November 14, 2008 Author Posted November 14, 2008 i'll be on this afternoon (est) because it's a friday, if anyone wants to send me a shoutout. i might not be in game, so just invite me and i'll come on. Quote
Zombie Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 I'll probably be on all afternoon and night. I'm near the end of the game (i think) and will hopefully beat it tonight. I'll hit you up prophet. I'll make sure to add you as well, furious. Also... Poor, poor dom... Quote
prophetik music Posted November 14, 2008 Author Posted November 14, 2008 played with zeklan for a while today - we did well until he left and my team of four got seperated and rushed by bloodmounts. still made it to level 20 without too much fooling. Quote
sephfire Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 I have never had a game make me think "holy shit" so many times in one sitting. My mouth was hanging open for the entire ending scene. Epic has one of the most amazing art teams in this industry. Quote
I-n-j-i-n Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 The finale was just an overflowing mass of flesh and blood and manliness. The entire campaign came off as hilarious. In a good way. Just such ridiculous action scenes. Quote
prophetik music Posted November 15, 2008 Author Posted November 15, 2008 cole's entrance was appropriately epic. i see him even more than marcus in multiplayer. Quote
Zombie Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 Multiplayer is AWESOME when i can actually find people to play with. This matchmaking system is terrible. Quote
prophetik music Posted November 15, 2008 Author Posted November 15, 2008 epic says that they're looking into why it takes so long - and that they're working on it. i still haven't found it to be much worse than halo 3's wait time for matches. Quote
Zombie Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 Haven't played halo 3 in a long time, but i remember it taking awhile. :\ I <3 bow. EDIT: I love it when i can hit shit with it. EDIT 2: I need a headset again. Quote
prophetik music Posted November 15, 2008 Author Posted November 15, 2008 send me an invite and we can play tomorrow a bit =) Quote
Sixto Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 Returning it! I can't play this game for shiiit. I suck so hard at aiming at things with a gamepad. Quote
prophetik music Posted November 16, 2008 Author Posted November 16, 2008 honestly? that's why you use the sticks, not the legacy pad =) seriously, don't return it. i'm terrible at aiming too, and i beat the game. Quote
FuriousFure Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/470146 watch this^^^ fantastic, so this game is awesome. It's time for the tedious Insane. Quote
Bigfoot Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 I'd love to play some matches online, but it seems impossible to get a game going. :\ I hope they fix this soon. I waited for 10 minutes before I gave up. Quote
I-n-j-i-n Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 Right now, the only thing to do is connect, disconnect, connect, etc etc. If you wait 20 seconds, then that means you should refresh. Quote
