re: Thinking About Getting Gears Of War....

Yeah, but Halo 2 was actually fun for more than a week and had a story and there is much more variety in Halo 2 than in Gears. Besides, they actually had a reason for things being cut and have admitted they screwed up. Epic hasn't owned up to their mistakes nor do do they have a reason for all that stuff being cut.

re: Thinking About Getting Gears Of War....

I love it when people talk shit about Gears because the lack of a story. People don't play games for the campaign anymore (most of the time) they play it for multiplayer. halomessenger, if GoW is so bad, why do 3x more people play it per day than Halo 2? Exactly. Shut your *bleep*ing mouth.

Is that a joke? Halo 2 is *bleep*ing 3 years old. Of course only the hardcore fans are still going to be playing it! Idiot.

Don't buy it. I regret having bought it. The single player is fun but is very short and has a terrible story to it. And after you beat it once it's boring going through it again. The online was decent at first but went downhill very fast and is one of the most over rated online games out at the moment.
That is perfectly put.

You're just a stupid Halo fanboy. Using shit like "Halo was more fun" in a debate only proves it.

re: Thinking About Getting Gears Of War....

You should find a friend who has the game and give it a try, or rent the game before you buy it. Just to get a taste and see if you like the game, then get it. I think its a great game, but apparently some people think its horrible..

Right, no matter what game it is it will ALWAYS have detracters. I don't really like G.R.A.W., but I don't go around saying how much it sucks; because obviously it doesn't, or it wouldn't have as many people playing it as it does. The difference between me and HM is simply I understand that just because I don't like a game it doesn't mean it has to suck. But apparently he's under the impression that what he says goes.

I am partly saying that, but Halo has a good story where Gears' sucked balls and there is much more variety in Halo than in Gears. Even you can admit those two things.

Also, please don't judge me by my name.

re: Thinking About Getting Gears Of War....

This argument is really going to go nowhere guys.

Anyways. I love Gears. But for me, people telling me "It's good" isn't enough. Simply rent it. If you like it, buy it. If you don't...well, don't.

Dude, I am 100% sure we know more about Gears than you did. Until you make a game better than Gears, quit critisizing it. You're in the minority of those who don't like the game, so shut the hell up.
Dude, this is absurd. Telling someone something like "Until you make a better game than gears, quit criticizing it" is like going to a Doctor and he accidentally leaves a scalpel inside you while removing your Appendix, and when you confront him with this mistake, he says, "Hey, shut the hell up! Until you go to Medical School and become a better Doctor than me, stop criticizing me!"

lol Seriously, if someone pays money for a product, they should have the right to critique it even if they can't create a "better game". Or do you somehow disagree with this?

Seriously, I have nothing against Gears and will eventually buy the game, but I am just saying.

re: Thinking About Getting Gears Of War....

if your looking for a good third person game, there isnt that much on 360 that can beat it at this moment, of course when GTA IV and Halo 3 come out then it will be beaten into the ground. so if you can get it pretty cheap then go for it. I don't know why people were arguing about the online, he clearly said he wont be using it.

But he's not "critiquing" it, he's saying it sucks without any reasons or explanantions, that's not critiquing, it's just being an ass. Unless he can give reasons, he needs to either make a better game by the public's standards or he needs to shut up.

re: Thinking About Getting Gears Of War....

Gears is a great online game, Halo is the same. I recommend trying both. Now as fas as campaign goes IMO Gears was better... more "Interactive" if you will. It kept me on my feet and ready for anything, even then I was still surprised.
