I seriously loved the first Gears of War. I played it nonstop for 6 months straight. Over 12,000 kills and no Seriously.
Gears 2 was a major flop for me. I didn't get Gears 1 for the story and I doubt many others did. I got it for the online because it was different in many ways. Gears 2 comes out with the notion of making the online Bigger Better and more Bad A$$. The only thing bigger was the list of glitches/bugs. The only thing better was how easy you could standby to win gam...
Biggest fail of 2008 for me. My list of reasons is big but here's a sum up:
1)Short game. Got 900 gamerscore in 12 hours for it with completion. 2) This is a RPG. RPGs are supposed to have amazing stories. Where is it? 3) Battle system is repetitive. Mashing. Easy. With no consequences. 4) The dog A.I was an idiot. Literally wouldn't bark about a chest until you were opening it. Could've just had a radar. 5) I wanted to look/feel like a bad a$$ hero, yet n...
It's funny to read your comment, because I was listening to a giantbomb.com podcast once. In it and it was recently they had a sit down with Capcom employee's over different things. One thing that came up was one of the US Capcom employee's was there with the guy who did Marvel Vs. Capcom and was taking questions from fans. The fans were coming up with stuff like you and throwing out how their special moves and stuff could work. Literally he sat there I think they said for like an hour and at...
Past exclusives? Okay first off you should have played those up to now. The earth keeps on spinning and so should you by playing games as they come out that are worth the time and money.
As for past exclusives on 360 we have: Gears2 Halo 3 Dead or Alive 4 Lost Odyssey
That's the 4 that are exclusive to just 360 I can think of people should give a play and while others may exist it isn't stand out titles to say the least. Gears 1 is on PC. Mass...
I'm in the same boat as you man. I own all 3 and get to play it all that is worth playing, but we are all in someones corner a bit more than the others.
Here's what I mean:
If your house started on fire and you only could save one of your consoles which would it be?(Don't answer with a "oh i'd save them all cuz i can blow out fires blah blah BS)
I'd save my PS3. The main reason being is I get my gaming done it. I get my talking with my friends while...
Legend of Dragoon isn't talked about that often on big name sites or forums just because everyone wants to go banana's over the next shooter game. It's a bit sad since when it comes to stories RPGs were the best of the best(excluding MGS series which reigns supreme forever).
Either way though LoD2 would make me so excited I think I would have to level an entire forest by myself for lumber jacks just to work out the energy it'd give me.
If Redwood Shores' studio for EA made it then I'd believe it. Dead Space is near perfect in its genre of survival horror so much so that if they branch out into any genre I expect stellar results.
The rest of EA? Not a chance in hell. I mean did you see that new Army of Two trailer where they say everything is in game footage in it? How would ANYONE think that is pre rendered, because it looks like straight up PS2 graphics. Years later from Army of Two and I don't see squat in r...
A gimmick would be something like chainsawing a guy in half.
A 256 player count online is: A) Showing a leap in the genre B) Showing a leap in technological capabilities C) A statistical number to represent the # of players D) Information necessary for people buying to know since it will be one of the fundamental reasons you would or wouldn't want to buy this game. 256 sound like too much? Don't get it. 256 sound awesome? Get it.
Breath of Fire 4. That's the only legit Capcom game back on PS1 I'd buy off of PSN. Don't get me wrong I played plenty of their titles, but if I had to pick one it'd be that.
I'm still hoping they reboot that RPG series with a PS3 exclusive version announced at E3. When it comes to Capcom it's generally a 8/10 game and deserves a rental not a full purchase.
The only game I can think of by Capcom I really feel is worth full price will be the new Lost Planet 2. I loved...
People here think me and some others haven't played Gears 2 since each and every crap update they've had. You are in SERIOUOS mad insane denial if you think that game is funner than: Resistance 1 Resistance 2 COD4 COD W@W MGO Killzone 2 RSV2 RSV1 Gears1 Socom Confrontation Halo 3
I'd play and do play most of that list over Gears 2. Why? It's PURE trash, pure garbage, pure broken BS. Have fun screaming at your TV ev...
Lesson learned? Epic should've learned from Unreal Tournament how to make a good shooting game without bugs, without lag, without BS going into Gears 1. Gears 1 had a sleu of BS that I can't count up on both hands.
Going into Gears 2 Cliffy B made it sound like we have nothing to worry and that it's all water under the bridge. Instead you get a game with a ton of the SAME glitches and problems from Gears 1 back into Gears 2, and then added more glitches and problems on top of tha...
I never owned the original Xbox myself as there was never enough games or even 1 game to warrant the purchase for my gaming tastes so I missed out on the Splinter Cell games.
MGS though I've been at since Metal Gear 1(not MGS1). So I want to see how it does stack up to a series that I hold so dear. I'll come at the new one that comes out with open arms and hope for the best. I loves my MG games, but I'll give props when props are due if another stealth action game can do it bett...
To me it seems to follow the same art style as Crisis. The gun scopes and models are similiar and graphically it just reminded me of Crisis. I know techies with 1337 computers will say ZOMG CRISIS pwns MAG in graphics nub!!!, but I'm saying just artistically they have the same approach which is a good thing.
The reviews will sell this game more than anything imo. If the online or controls or anything is broken and reviews mention it people will skip it. If it's not then this'll b...
COD4 is far from terrible but its far from the best of the best. When it first came out and for a while after it was the most fun many people could have with a FPS when it was fresh. Since then things have changed and so have we as gamers.
What's changed you ask?
Dedicated servers are now at the tip of everyones tongue when MP is talked about in a game. If you have it your game will be 100X better than peer to peer host BS. If you run your game through hosts you are ...
As far as game of the millenium go MGS4 takes that top spot for me by leaps and bounds.
There is so much in this game that it just blows my mind. Seriously if you own a PS3, want to own a PS3, or even HATE the PS3, you still need to play MGS4 no matter what. This is the pinnacle of gaming and I dare you to find me a game that has this much within it.
The only and I mean the ONLY way MW2 could be the best GOTY this year for me is if they announce dedicated servers. Scratch any other improvements they could make or any amazing SP story. Without dedicated servers it will be an obsolete take on a MP experience.
If you think games that end because host quits out from being butt sore is fun. If you think games that noob tubes get launched from spawn to spawn shows skill at killing people are fun. If you think a game where the major...

If it isn't game titles/project confirmation that we don't know about then personally I don't care much.
That's just me though.

Suikoden 6 and it'll be a timed exclusive.
