My friend got Gears 2 for Christmas. Yesterday I went over to his house and we made fun of all the stupid dialog while I died on easy.

Feenix: "What do I look like, a fucking botanist?"
Me: "Holy shit, he knows the word botanist."

It's tons of fun, I have to admit. You know how I love gore! Currently I'm up to wave 21 on Horde, solo. It's so fucking hard.

I'm torn between the Coletrain and that big tribal guy with the tattoos for my favourite character.

i REALLY dislike gears of war. In fact, i'm starting to dislike videogames in every way.

The game might have it's nice share of graphics and all, but to me running around as a big buffoon with a chainsaw attached to a rifle for 13 hours seems so stupid. Although i agree i want to round as a huge monkey killing every killing creature with a chainsaw. I think it's such a degrading experience. It's just like halo 3. Which sucked because it was the completely same concept as halo 2, which was, for me, a classic. Games these days don't have the purpose of delivering me a certain fun factor. If i don't reach it, it sucks. games like doom, splatterhouse, Even jackass the game (wich is even more retarded, but there you get rewarded for hurting yourself in any possible way) Delivered me with a well earned factor o' fun.

but these days it isn't about gameplay. it's about pretty shading effects and motion capture animation for perfect realistic movement. And this is just another 'milestone' for microsoft and epic. For me it's a failure. These big shot game reviewers can tell you that this is the perfect game. But dealing with reality, they can think it sucks, but they get paid by the companies to tell you it's awesome.

where am i getting to?;
The fact that if you look closer, the game isn't reaching my fun factor. The game only cares to show me how pretty the locust looks and how awesome Marcus Fenix is. For the same thing he can be a real pussy in real life. but the fact is. These days it's only about graphics and lame taglines like 'THE COLE TRAIN'. the game doesn't show me any freedom of gameplay and it keeps you to a very lame storyline and shitty button control.


just keep it by movies, music and comic books for me. The game sucks. And i want to see developers paying more attention to the gameplay.

probably the whole game captured in one drawing.

Yeah, when things focus on graphics graphics and more graphics it's really annoying.

The part about Gears 2 that was the most fun for me was making fun of it.

Didya know that fight with the giant worm on the boat is a carbon copy of a boss fight in that old Phantasy Star game?

But then they lived in the sand

Gears 2 is best when you got a bunch of friends next to you to play with ya. Especially on Hoard. One time, me and about 7 friends of mine got together for some Xboxing and got Gears out. Frankly, seeing Kill Bill (inside joke) chainsawing 10 guys in a row while screaming "Rawr! Yeah, fuck you too buddy! C'mon! Raaaaaaah!" after the rest of us died was freaking hysterical.

well, i can have the same amount of fun with a bunch of friends, a lot of junkfood and tony hawks pro skater. And summing it up, it costs even less than a xbox. Let alone the game itself.

i'm not saying you guys shouldn't play it. if you like it: you like it. I played the game at a friends place and i didn't find it amusing.

Does any one know how many hord levels there are? i'm up to wave 16 now. My favorit level i like to play when playing hord would have to be jisinto, Theres a spot on that level where there is only onw way for the enemies to come at you, so i stay there.

There's 50 horde levels. (Its horde guise)

You get an achievement if you go up that high.

It goes over fifty.

Me and my friend played campaign on insane for, like, 24 hours straight and literally passed out on the final level. Good times. Good game.
