Gears of War 3

[.Kev.]

Only the best games on the 360, f**king epic . 1 & 2 were great!

Pre-order GoW3 from Game. Only runs for another week or so, I'd love to see how many order cancellations Game get once it's closed lol.

It's on for another two weeks come Monday!

And you can also pre-order from gamestation for the code.

I just didn't really rate the MP on GOW2 - did some Horde mode but it was stupid as you couldn't have any breaks. I started to get interested in the SP story but will probably be a big disappointment like most video game stories...even though the end of the trilogy will probably leave it open to another follow-on of some sort.

I'll definitely be waiting for reviews and feedback before I buy this. GoW 1 and 2 had immense single player, but the multiplayer was the worst I've ever played. When you eventually found a game to join, it was always laggy and buggy. Utter shite.

 

[Brand86]

3rd person shooters just aren't as good as 1st person for this sort of thing unless there is some sort of reason for it such as extra manuevres...but all this has is the cover system. Just can't get the accuracy.

EPIC have confirmed this is the final instalment.

And like you say, as much as I loved GOW2, the multiplayer was diabolical!
But I am LOVING this, everything is down to skill as opposed to weapon set ups, and the team play adds even more to it!
And no connection issues like GOW2.

Many people can't get into it, but I say leave them to COD, for a gamer like me, I embrace everything that's good!

 

[FiXX]

best MP game ive ever played tbh!

 

[Brand86]

Well if it's good I'll get it, just didn't rate GoW2 MP that much but I'm open minded!

 

[Plummer]

Thought I'd add, I've only got a few guys online I play this with.

So if anyone wants a decent player, add: Plummer C1

Put in the message your from cs so I know though!

 

[Plummer]

Had another go of this at the weekend at the MCM Expo.
Got to play a few of the maps that weren't on the beta too!

You're pish mate !

 

[Plummer]

You're pish mate !

You got live yet?

 

[AK]

I've got live... and I've got an xbox... and I've got the internet... I've just not got an HD telly!

Should have it by this weekend

I really enjoyed the single player gears 1 & 2 but never really got into the multiplayer. Realistically its not gonna get a look in with BF3 and MW3 being released at the same time.

 

[Plummer]

BF and MW are November, this is out September.

FYI.

Trust me, its going to get a look in.

Different style entirely to COD/BF.

 

[@Spoonie]

Horde mode looking great

 

[Scutch]

Just watched the advert last night on TV.

It looks superb.

 

[Rob]

I love how the gears adverts always have great soundtracks. Awesome.

Do you play on XBL? You should get involved with us lot.

 

[Rob]

Damn f**king right I do!

I haven't played since gears two (I got out of the gaming world for a bit and missed the beta).

So when its out (soon right?) I'll be more than game.

Gamer tag is Petit Filous

 

[AK]

Will add you if I remember.

 

[Rob]

I haven't been on in months, and when I first moved out I renewed my XBL membership for 6 months, hope it hasn't expired.

I assume you've all got the beta then? I'm a bit annoyed they've done that TBH, means when the game comes out playing online will be s**t for ages because others will be MUCH better.

I think I'll probably end up throwing it in the bin after a day. (Which sucks as I'm a HUGE gears fan).

 

[AK]

Nah not played the beta.

What other games you play?

 

[Sym0n]

Had the beta and hated it once all the gears nerds got online, full game will hopefully not be as annoying...although I'll more than likely only play this until MW3 comes out and then it will get shelved.

I bought the latest COD and it was shite, that was the first game I've bought since gears... lol!

I basically alternate between gears and COD. Exciting eh?

 

[Scutch]

Getting good reviews, as expected :

[Rob]

H'exllent. Not long now.

Work won't know what hit them, I'll be a whole new me.

Red eyes, yawning, sleeping...

Yea I've noticed this too, started with Gears 1 and the Mad World soundtrack.

They're produces by the same company who produced the super hi res teaser for Halo 3 for the Superbowl adverts.

Just so I can annoy you,

I'm miles better at Gears than I am at COD, I hammered the beta like f**k.

 

[jam.]

Bit of a heads up - if you buy 2100 gamer points at Morrisons (£18.99 I think) you can get this for £25 when it comes out.

 

[Bodge!]

Just finished it.

Its a superb game!

Had me gripped from start to finish

Easy to follow without reading the 3 books between this and the last game?
I'm on the last book anyway.. :rasp:

Is this right? I haven't ordered game yet but will be first in queue Tuesday

Follows straight on.

100% I work there & got an email about it yesterday.

 

[Plummer]

Follows straight on.

It does!?
I had read otherwise.

Spoiler

I don't see how it can follow straight from the last game after the 3 books, I mean where I am, Jacinto flooding is months back (end of the 2nd game).
Will find out when I get it I suppose.
