The prices and bundles for the skins will be announced tomorrow during the q&a live stream

400 Allards a skin

you wait and see

 

[-PXG-]

Calling it now: 120 msp for each set 800 for the bundle. Even that is too high. Any higher than that...LoooooooL

 

[enzo_gt]

can you use the weapon skins in the single player campaign as well?

I asked before and people said no.

 

[Plasmid]

Video going through all the skins in the menu. I only remember seeing a blurry cam version of this, this is direct feed. Some of them look cool, others very trollish. Curious about the pricing.

Really interesting, hopefully only 800 for the bundle as PXG said.

I'm sure the childs play one will be through an event though.

 

[Vire]

Will those skins be a part of the season pass or is this more money to take from me?

 

[jgminto]

I don't think I'll pick up more than one or two skins honestly. There are enough free skins for me.

 

[enzo_gt]

Will those skins be a part of the season pass or is this more money to take from me?

Money to take from you. If you buy the seasons pass you get the liquid chrome set of them all though, but that's it.

They should have it so that if you get the Child's Play one you get one other free or something, just to incentivize it by giving you your choice of another actually good looking skin to complement the one you just bought for charity.

ha....ha...

Good one Epic. That's some funny shit.

Whatever, they already got enough from me from the disc itself. I'm not doing that garbage.

There's your answer

you can't even get good Avatar stuff for 120 msp

240-400 a skin. 1600 for all of them.

This honestly is the most likely.

How else do you think they are going to recoup the money from that extravagant ass gold party.

 

[Barrow Roll]

This was the best thing from gears 1 campaign.

Gears 3 should have a dubstep remix just for shits and giggles since that seems to be all the rage these days.

 

[CyReN]

I survived Craiglists!

 

[ROBOKITTYZILLA]

Only just now noticed amazon restocked the Limited edition! *preorders*

It's been available this entire week unless it just keeps going in and out of stock. Went ahead and placed my order just now. I originally had it pre-ordered at Gamestop because I was going to use a giftcard but I canceled it after I sold the giftcard recently because I hate Gamestop.

Yummy! I don't have my transfer cable anymore so it's going to take forever to move all my 360 Elite data. I might just skip the games and redownload them. I also upgraded to the newly introduced 50MB fiber internet package here @ $94 a month. Installation is setup for Tuesday morning. It is going to be a glorious day.

You lucky lucky lucky bastard.

Do you have the VG achievement?

If you do, you may not want to play till Tuesday.

Whats the VG achievement?

 

[see5harp]

Level 100 in Gears 2.

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

Whats the VG achievement?

Veteran guard achievement (100 in GOW 2 and win on all the snowblind maps)

You get all the gold weapons.

 

[snack]

Is the Season Pass only going to be available on the XBL Marketplace? Or will it be sold at retail stores as well?

 

[CyReN]

I don't, and I don't own Gow2 anymore either. What difference does it make?

edit: O ok, I'm fine without gold.

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

I don't, and I don't own Gow2 anymore either. What difference does it make?

If you play before the release day, you won't get the TU, and you will lose out on all those unlocks (so says Joe Graf).

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

Is the Season Pass only going to be available on the XBL Marketplace? Or will it be sold at retail stores as well?

Odds are that Gamestop will want to get in on the action and they'll sell you a code sometime soon.

 

[equil]

Anyone know if the Gears 3 DLC is going to be region restricted? Because i was never able to download any dlc for gears 2 because im currently in Germany...

 

[see5harp]

Level 100 for me was just a way to provide closure to my life with Gears 2 multiplayer. I knew if I hit 100, I'd never again have to think about how much rage I wasted expended while rolling down a set of stairs or getting downed in 2 seconds from a host hammerburst.

 

[masterkajo]

Anyone know if the Gears 3 DLC is going to be region restricted? Because i was never able to download any dlc for gears 2 because im currently in Germany...

AFAIK, no. It is just that in Germany Gears of War was never officially sold in stores. Not even a censored version. So there is also no Marketplace content for it up.

 

[JackEtc]

Get it dude. As long as you know what to expect (3rd person shooter). You can go through the campaign and get used to the controls. As a gamer it won't be too difficult to get solid at.

Honestly, this is the most accessible Gears of War game yet. They added a casual playlist this time around for new comers to get their feet wet in addition to some more beginner friendly weapons.

The story isn't overly complex and they have a brief recap of events video in the menu as well.

This is the best co-op franchise you will ever play - so be sure to grab a buddy!

Thanks guys!

Well in the end of the day it's a team game and Gears is at it best when played with friends. Do you have a solid crew to run with? If yes, just buy it. If no, it still worth it to think it through.

I might, not sure. Probably will at least have a co-op partner.

Rent Gears 1/2 and beat them, you can go through them pretty fast. Then go ahead and buy 3, I'm sure single player is going to be awesome. After you beat the single player go ahead and dive into multiplayer you'll get the hang of it.

No place around here to rent them, I'm sure I'll have fun with 3 nonetheless.

 

[-PXG-]

You can purchase it on gamestop.com. I believe you will also be able to buy a card in-store too.

 

[BrokenBox]

I know everyone's aware they're charging for the skins, but $20 for skins seems really steep. I doubt it's that much.

 

[CyReN]

So every reviewers and friends of the company are screwed? uh

 

[Ecto311]

Put this together today - fits much better

I Come to Shanghai - Another gears sunday

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

So every reviewers and friends of the company are screwed? uh

Friends of the company? No, they will get "fixed" as I'm sure anyone who got an early copy directly from Epic will. Also, how many "high profile people" (including Epic employees) actually played the game enough to get 100? I'm betting none of them.

So either way it's a nil issue.

So much love! Naughty Dog has always been classy. If only everyone else in the industry could do the same.

Naughty Dog are in the same elite, exclusive, and snickering club of developers that also includes Epic, Valve, Blizzard, Bungie. They sit in a different section with posh chairs at developer conferences. They're classy enough to be in a different class of the developer society.

 

[Genesis Knight]

Any hot early streams up? Hit me, GAF. Need some background noise for homework, and the NiN's Quake OST isn't cutting it...

So what unlocks am I missing out of? Just gold?

 

[Curufinwe]

Never played a second of the first two Gears games, but the Giant bomb review and Quick Look have me really interested in Gears 3. If only it and RE 4 HD weren't going to be released on the same day. So many games, so little time.

[Brolic Gaoler]

All the gold starting weapons (which you can get other ways) except for the Gold gnasher, which I think you might actually get anyway, since it's still set to gold gnasher for first week play.

Sorry to keep asking questions, do I lose anything in the title update that improves the game itself?

 

[-PXG-]

Yeah...not watching that shit. Jesus Christ.

Naughty Dog ranks among all those other devs now just cause of UC1 and 2? Well, shit.

Outside of EA/Activision, other devs and publishers give eachother props all the time. Most devs are massive gamers and play games outside of their own, in fact the best especially: Epic, Valve, Blizzard, Bungie, and the lot.

 

[gillFTR]

He's done so a couple of times, one thing I remember him talking about the cover system being really good in the first.

[ZeroRay]

So the IGN vid review said the campaign is 15-20 hours.

Well shit. But I'm guessing it's closer to 10 as they have a tendency to heavily exaggerate play times.

Naughty Dog ranks among all those other devs now just cause of UC1 and 2? Well, shit.

Crash Bandicoot, brah.

That, I do not know and Joe Graf isn't clarifying.
