I should've bought the first game back when I had the time to play it..

I think I should be buying this..

[KillerGremlin]

i really like the commercial for this game

best commercial for a FPS since the Halo 3 commercials from last year

[KillerGremlin]

and not to get nostalgic for a game i consider to be over rated to infinity but here's the epically awesome halo 3 commercial

how can you NOT want to buy the game after seeing that

[BreakABone]

Do you OWN Halo 3?
Yeah what I thought!

Anyhow, first time seeing the Gears of War 2 commercial. I have taken a different approach to this game by not finding out too much about it won't be ruined when I finally play it.

I am thinking of calling in sick on Fri. We shall see.

[Dyne]

God, I can't WAIT for GOW2. I feel like Aladuf a little every time I think about it.

[KillerGremlin]

I feel like Aladuf a little every time I think about it.

we support your decision to come out of the closet here at GT.

[KillerGremlin]

Do you OWN Halo 3?
Yeah what I thought!

I was thinking about buying it but I think my money would be better invested in assorted lubricants. Besides, the Halo 3 believe commercial is way better than the game, so why pay for the foreplay when I can get the sex for free.

There is so much wrong with your metaphor, but I was under the impression you didn't own a 360.

and halo 3 isn't out on PC.

i have enough loser friends with 360s, doncha worry honey buns :crazy:

You calling 360 owners losers? :ohreilly:

[Fox 6]

You calling 360 owners losers? :ohreilly:

The way the words are placed, he is calling his friends losers.

[KillerGremlin]

you sir are the master of the english language. truly though, you are only as cool as who you roll with, so i'm really the true loser not my friends

You calling 360 owners losers? :ohreilly:

No. Actually, 360 owners are probably the coolest of the pack. I think the 360 is the best value of the consoles thus far. =/

You seem to have spelled PS3 wrong.:ohreilly:

[Dyne]

Oh my god, this game is amazing too! Nothing needs to be said! I played it for an hour and enjoyed every second of it!

Sidenote: This game has so much freaking bass. I tried to close the door but about half an hour in my mom and brother thought it was non-stop thunder outside and told me to turn it down. :lolz: That's never happened to me before. Oh subwoofers.

[uber_paddler]

Yeah, I had the same problem with the first, lol. Damn shotgun was so loud I'd have to almost turn the sound off when I played at night.

Anyway, we need to get some epic MP games going on.

Got up to level 18 in Hordes with this guy, Flunkie and another person from GAF.

Good times.

Awesome game so far.

And I really really love Horde.
So many different stages and strategies.

[Vampyr]

Just beat the game. Was awesome. :D

[BreakABone]

Also, you are one quiet bugger.

We played for like an hour and he hardly said a sentence. :lolz:

I killed lots of things though.

Mortar ftw.

[Dyne]

Oh my god, the beginning is NOTHING. It's kind of disappointing for people looking to buy the game - you usually end up playing the first hour and that's it. Well the first hour is complete shit compared to what comes. :D

Goddamn what a beautiful game.

[Typhoid]

Damnit Phil. Why do you taunt me so.

[BreakABone]

Damnit Phil. Why do you taunt me so.

To be fair to Phil. I think he is underplaying the game.

It is truly an awesome awesome experience.

The multiplayer is much expanded with stuff like Hordes, which I have played a great deal more of than campaign.

Tons of new multiplayer types that myself, Uber and Vampyr tried out last night.

You have wingmen which is 5 teams of 2 for a change. You have Guardian which is similar to VIP in Halo except you have to kill the Guardian to stop the other team from respawning.

Meatflag which is Capture the Flag with a Live Target, which I learned the hard way isn't as easy as you would think when they don't want to go with you. :lol:

[Dyne]

Oh god I played Coop with my brother last night. What an amazing game for Coop. None of this small-screen divided shit.

[BreakABone]

I hated the vehicle session in Gears 1.

And the first one in Gears 2 was not that impressive. (Ice Lake for those who played the game)

But the escape at the end of Act 4 was friggin awesome. :D

Only part of the ice level that annoyed me was having to die several times to memorize where the mortars hit.

Thought driving down the actual mountains was very fun though.

I don't know.
Didn't like the feel of the vehicle.
And for some reason kept comparing that segment to the final portion of Halo 3 when you are making your escape. I thought that was epic until the escape at the end of Act 4 of Gears. :lol:

[BreakABone]

Well, I beat the game, and I think the second half of the campaign is much better than the first half.

Most of the first half, seemed like a rethread on the original game, but then they open it up with some interesting locales and some awesome "vehicle" segments.

I also completed Wave 50 of hordes now to see if can do it all in one sitting.

Good game.

[Swan]

Picked this game up the other day.


I approve

[magus113]

I approve as well.

I have a friend who has not yet played horde, and is wanting to get in a game with 4 other people to do it. I need level 19 - 30 to get the achievement. Lets make it happen. I -might- be able to get Eric and Krazy on around 9 tonight.

I don't get home until around 10:30 or so. If you folks want to wait until than.

I'm down but I have a little bit of a night ahead of me. Gotta take my girlfriend to the hospital today to see my dad until at least 9.

[Vampyr]

That's fine, the guy from work that wants to do hoard can't really get on until late anyway, so it will work out.

And sorry I keep asking you to play gears on AIM BaB, I forget that you're at work. :lolz:

That's actually not funny. :(

[Bond]

Gears 2 finally arrived in the mail today!

[Swan]

YEAH!

[Bond]

This game is so good. So well done.

[BreakABone]

This game is so good. So well done.

I wonder who has been telling you this...:p

[Bond]

Just started playing this game again. I'm inside the cave going across the river right now.

Sooo good.

[Swan]

Beat it.



Sick game though the ending was kind of a let down

[Aladuf]

This game is funnnn. :D


but broken as hell, my love for Gears is not what it used to be. :(

[thatmariolover]

This game is funnnn. :D

He's alive!!!!

[Vampyr]

You never join my games when I invite you. >:|

[uber_paddler]

This game is funnnn. :D


but broken as hell, my love for Gears is not what it used to be. :(

Yeah, I agree. I don't know why, but it just isn't the same. I honestly haven't even played for a couple weeks. Course that'll probably change now that I'm home.

[Aladuf]

You never join my games when I invite you. >:|

Holy hell, you're Deshrin?! I literally had NO clue. :lolz:

My bad for that, usually I'm doing Public matches with a couple guys when I get the invites though. I'll be on in a few if you're going to be on, we'll be doing normal Public matches, etc. for a little while.

That Gears feel just isn't there so much with this one. The game was rushed for release this year, it's so painfully obvious.

[TheSlyMoogle]

So does anyone else totally see what's going to happen in the next game after playing this one, or was that just me?
