I totally forgot Clocktower didn't make it to the launch set of maps, but was easily one of the most hyped ones when it was leaked it was coming to Gears 3 months ago. The money hat on EPIC is strong... everyone and his mom will pay for the pack that one is in lol.

That giantbomb review was pretty awesome. Watched about 4 minutes of the video, had to stop myself from being too spoiled... but WOW.


WOW.


Locust entrances are AMAZING.

Dust and smoke looks AMAZING.

HYPEHYPEHYPE.

Also; I love how Halo has set the bar for what games need
Campaign scoring, 'Skulls', 4 player co-op....
Loveit.

I would give a lot for a remake of this map.
I think it would be a nice gesture on epic's part aimed at satisfying the hardcore Gears 1 fans.A lot of people, including me, play mainly on this map to this day.

I haven't been this excited for a game since Gears 1.
I can't fucking concentrate at work and am sitting here reading GAF for as much Gears info as possible.
Monday is going to be fucking killer (Im spending the weekend reading the last Gears book - Coalitions End so hopefully that will go quickly).

My girlfriend is weirded out by how excited I am! lol.
Im not even a 'gamer' so she's never seen me like this before, last game I bought was MK. Only Gears can do this to me.

This is getting weirder all the time
Found an eBay item which will be delivered tomorrow, and it was cheaper than most pre-orders, so I guess I scored.

When new games come out, it's all about checking 'newly listed' and refreshing all day

I know what you mean, Gears is just something special, i bought an xbox for Gears 1 and i met tons of friends while playing Gears 2, most of them i still play with.

I could have gotten the game early a couple times already in the past week+, but for me on day one it's all about playing the campaign with a few specific buddies online, and without them having a copy yet it wouldn't be worth it to me personally.

The only thing I regret is in that time the ending was spoiled on me, so I could have probably gone through the campaign already by now and wouldn't have had that happen. :(

Every Gears game I've gone through co-op on day one, and I can't wait to do it again here. :)

So gaffers, I got my copy this morning. Do I get banned or whatever for playing it before day1?

No, you shouldn't get banned.

The only thing you can miss out on is golden weapon skins if you have the Veteran Gear achievement from Gears 2 (level 100).

Hey, PXG, thanks for all of the support on here all these years. Means a lot!

No problem.

I remember seeing Gears of War for the first time in 2005. I was a PlayStation guy at the time and had no interest in the new Xbox. After seeing Gears, I told myself that I HAD to get a 360. Gears is pretty much the reason why I bought and still own the system.

On behalf of the entire Gears nation and community, thank you and Epic for making such a great series. Thank you for all of the great gaming memories in the past and all of the futures ones we'll have in Gears 3.

4 MORE DAYS!!!

Great review from Metro / Gamecentral

As far as we’re concerned this is easily the best Gears Of War game, but it’s also one that refines and exhausts every gameplay element to such a degree that it seems like a far more final end to the trilogy than Epic probably intended. If there are more games, and we assume there will be, they’re going to have to be significantly different to seem worthwhile.

But that’s a problem for another time, for now you get to enjoy a near perfect evolution of one of the most important games of the generation – and one we can now say we thoroughly enjoyed instead of just

In Short: Few of the details are different but this feels like a franchise that has finally grown to fill its full potential, as Epic brings an emphatic end to the trilogy.

Pros: A great improvement in story-telling and pacing, and some amazing visuals. Excellent competitive multiplayer and some of the best co-op ever.

Cons: The gameplay hasn’t changed significantly from the original games and can seem overly familiar. Plot is still largely impossible to care about.

Score: 9/10

Only part that caught my eye was this:

The game looks so good in fact that the overly compressed pre-rendered cut scenes look ugly and jarring by comparison.

Hopefully it isn't as bad as Bulletstorm's cutscenes.

"Chrome Lancer - In Gears 1, finish a ranked match with the highest amount of points."
OP should change this to "Obtain 'Don't Hate The Player' Achievement in Gears 1"


Got the achievement today after spending endless amounts of time trying to get a dang match. went to the OP and ctrl+f'd "Don't hate the player". Totally got pissed thinking i did it for nothing.

What difference does it make? Actually....nevermind...it makes a big difference. My way is more specific and actually tells you what you need to do. Merely having the name of the achievement is going to confuse people and inevitably make them ask more questions.

It turns out the NTSC version of the game works on PAL consoles. I don't know why Rod said it's region locked.

Son of a bitch - and the guy cancelled those import Epic Editions because of this too - I should have kept mine since I was moving out of Europe too.

Gonna text him later on to see if he can still send the order again.

Meh, you should still include how to do it, but definitely include the name of the achievement as well. Imagine if you hadn't played either in a while and were scrolling through your achievement list to see what you'd earn - having the names there would really help. "Commando" and "Don't Hate the Player" specifically aren't exactly descriptive just from their titles.

Jambi, FYI, that Blood Drive is real. No way someone would fake that.

Even though I didn't like it in Gears 2, it looks REALLY good in 3. Damn Epic...

Man, I just realised that since I switched my preorder from ShopTo to GameStop, I'm not getting Mechanic Baird any more. I don't suppose anyone will be getting one they'd want to donate? I really liked the idea of being able to have the full set and now I'm missing one.

To be clear I didn't try it my self, but Videogameplus.ca posted on their blog that they tried the NTSC copy on a PAL console and it worked.
