Gears of War 2 |OT| ...Maria...MARIA!!!

I hope so. I don't use or know how to do any of the glitches beyond jumping onto the van on Subway, and I don't want to learn them. So much from the developers has been about wanting to slow down the game and get people to play as they envisioned, and this is the kind of thing that breaks that.Aladuf said:
Epic didn't deal with the glitches well enough in Gears of War 1. I don't want to see half-ass fixes again.
Nothing takes care of campers. And like every glitch, it is used, abused, and complained about. Its an entirely shitty system from the top on down. I'm more annoyed by the people complaining about weapon-sliding while I'm playing than the actual glitch in this case. Hypocritical shits.WrikaWrek said:

so true :lol
EDIT:As for all this GOTY crap, I'm waiting on Mirror's Edge to show what it's got. I think it has the potential to run away with the most crowns. As of this moment GOTY is LBP's to loose, but lots of big games are about to drop.

Story in Gears, well if it's nothing else... Yes, a decent story would be nice , definitely, but as long as it's better than the first, I don't have anything to be concerned about. I don't excpect this to turn out to Schindler's of War. Oh yeah, and no Halo 2 ending would be nice tooAladuf said:
Locust are back -> Jacinto is in danger -> going underground -> kicking Locust ass. Any other information that I really need?
Absolutely. More important: it just fits perfectly into the whole world. Which is amazingly designed. On of the most beautiful designed gaming worlds/architectures I have seen (IMO of course

This was already mentioned in the other thread, and like I said in there, the moron who made that video and the other videos along with it was purposely lagging the game, as you can see everyone else including himself was lagging, running into walls, skipping, etc....
And I say moron because he threw some random, poorly edited gameplay together to be "the first person ever to have a Gears of War 2 montage", including a clip where it was obviously 5 vs. 3 for a bit, and called it a "5 vs. 1 clutch win"...
I wouldn't worry at all yet, but I see that some are already though...

So these people just run over weapons for x amount of time pressing random buttons until they figure out the combination? Lame.

Which kinda sucks, because my main gripes with original were host advantage and story that made no sense, especially latter chapters provided me with couple of great WTF moments (in a bad sense). Sometimes I just wonder how much better GoW would be with a great story. And I seriously hoped they'd fare better this time around.Aladuf said:
Will still buy the game 'tho

Very excited! I haven't played some Gears multiplayer in over a year. I'm so glad they fixed all the problems with the first one.

Not sure why I'm responding to this considering GotY battle discussions shouldn't even be taking place. However how many third person shooters out there play like Gears? Almost none. There isn't anything on the market that comes close to offering the type of gameplay offered in Gears.
You have GRAW, Socom and a few other third person shooters but I think we can all agree that these games are nothing like Gears. There is nothing quite like Gears out there.
GotY isn't decided by what is simply the most original package. Even if it was, Gears 2 is the sequel to a very original title anyway.
Full Recovery said:
Leaderboards will probably be reset. Also by what you've said it sounds like the "glitch" isn't much different from the initial slide glitch found in Gears 1 which allowed pretty much any range of motion to be used for the slide. As a result more resources have to be allocated to the most powerful weapons even moreso than before because it'll take much more firepower to make sure it stays in your teams possession.
Pretty troubling considering etting power weapons should be a challenge and an exercise of pros/cons rather than just "lulz" and sliding away into cover while a team has 3 lancers on you.

The 12" Marcus Fenix was found at "Things From Out Of This World" Dark Horse comics shop on Universal City Walk in Los Angeles. Didn't even know they were out just happen to walk in as they were putting them up.
I believe it was $39, but I'm not %100 sure, it was several weeks ago.
I'll take a better pic next time I'm at the studio, but the suit has amazing detail (especially the hands), but the face is a little rough.
Heh, yeah, wonder why they are doing that. There is certainly potential within the game to have the same effect, so i wonder why they reserve anything emotional for marketing. Maybe they think its best if that stuff is left to a surrounding context than something that gets in the way.ciaossu said:
