When I see you guys with those expensive skins on your fancy weapons I'm gonna be like DAMN, SON, YOU MUST BE ROLLING IN IT. And then I'm just going to lose in multiplayer to you on purpose, because I don't like to offend millionaires.

I got the Epic Edition a few days early. Here's my unboxing video, if anyone is interested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reYMp4oobwk Not trying to be spammy, though.

Your inner child was showing, and i loved it.

 

[JambiBum]

Personally, its your money, you spend it however you like. Some people buy those weird ass sex dolls like JambiBum's avatar, other people pay a crazy ass amount for Action Comics #1, some people pay $45 bucks for weapon skins.

I'mma lol and go about my day

I just saw this post. Made me laugh pretty hard. Thanks lol.

Mpg has nothing to do with the cost of filling a tank

 

[Krakatoa]

So the best thing to do is buy the regular version. Then with that spare cash you can get season pack and all the weapon skins.

But you'll miss out on the COG snot rag, a few pieces of paper, and a cool case for your game!

The only thing I would want is the art book.

No one would be pissed, but would be laughing at the clown.

Wow, you guys take shit seriously here. Noted.

That was the best unboxing vid of the EE I've seen. It's really the first one that made me even want the Epic Edition.

I think it's funny how the Epic forums have been down all day today. Epic knew there would be a massive shit storm over this. I think they go back up at 10 EST.

Oh man, it's going to be utter chaos over there.

I liked it too, but because I actually thought parts were a bit funny.

I subbed.

They really should have announced all this dlc crap at once and then at the very end threw in a free skin or map or something to codify them...

My favorite is when he played with the statue. If I were a kid, that thing would be like a shrine for my GI Joes to worship at.

Joe Graf is shining up his banhammer as we speak. I already got banned from there for questioning their pricing methods.

Well to be fair they did get kind of fucked with the whole leaked build thing.

I'm making myself a promise not to post there tonight. I let them get me all worked up and then I say something stupid...

Yeah Alien, you better watch what you say over....oh...WAIT...

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

Yeah, can't say I feel bad for them though. This entire process has been 1 decision after another from "them" that has increasingly pissed off the community. Going all the way back to IO skins jumping from Epic Edition, to console, to controller.

Yeah Alien, you better watch what you say over....oh...WAIT...

lol, no big loss.

It doesn't pay to get drunk and argue with 12 year old idiots on an official forum folks.

Son, I laughed my ass off. I'll spend some money on these skins, a few but Cliff better hurry up that Shadow Complex 2. Ya hear Cliff?!

 

[Raxus]

This sucks, I actually wanted the rainbow skins.

It doesn't pay to call epic 'retards' for the absolutely TERRIBLE launch of gears 2.

Some game play

they have a few videos up, including execution.

 

[Ramirez]

Wow, someone mentioned the price in the Madden thread and I thought they were being sarcastic. Amazing. Anyone who buys these, regardless of how much money you have is a retard.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

A little frustrating to watch when there's chaos, or a gimme kill right in front of the player and he/she doesn't advance and get in on that. All I could think while watching was "GOOOOOO"

I just came back from shopping... Did they actually say anything about the DLC maps? Could give a fuck about the weapon skins. My shit's gold.

no, nothing about maps or any new DLC.

 

[BrokenBox]

Thanks. What a pointless Q&A then.

 

[S1kkZ]

wow, didnt expect the game to be THAT good. in the last chapter now (i wont spoil anything) and all i can say is: holy shit.

-fantastic visuals. by far the best looking 360 game and one of the best looking console games.
-friendly ai is really helpfull. they kill enemies and revieve you almost every time (on hardcore).
-soundtrack is very so-so. nothing stands out (with one exeption, you will know what i mean when you hear it), everything is very generic. a huge step down from the gears 2 soundtrack (and the brilliant gears 1 ost).
-fighting the lambent is fun, didnt expect that (i expected flood like enemies).

30 bucks for the season pass. That's about it.


Season pass does mean a full year, correct? I don't want to pay 30 bucks and have it last till the new year

 

[D4Danger]

it turned out that way because people broke the street date and found the "surprise"

the pricing is new info

30 bucks for the season pass. That's about it.

Season pass is for the first 4 major DLC packs which EPIC have spaced out over the next year.

I don't know if it's exactly a year but you keep the DLC afterwards so it doesn't really matter. You're just pre-purchasing the first 4 pieces of DLC.

Nice impressions. Kinda sucks about the soundtrack though. I'll be on the lookout for that stand out piece.

And what a shitty "surprise" it is. Oh well, I'll stop complaining now.

 

[stupei]

Not to derail from the current trending topic, but:

Did anyone have luck at VGNY? When I called to ask there was a REALLY long pause before the guy said, "No, try Monday." How do you not know if you have it or you don't unless you only have a few and are holding them for regulars? Ugh, with the hours I've been working lately the weekends are some of the only real time I get to play, so this seriously blows. I don't want to wait until NEXT weekend to play. Shit.

 

[HallucinatingElvis]

fuck I want this now, you people and getting early...hurrumpf

Just finished the latest book a few days back, makes the waiting that much worse.

 

[Skilotonn]

While you guys were bitching over cosmetic skins I was busy enjoying Gears 3 campaign.

And without spoiling it, it's the shit. Oh yes it is.

Even though I'm taking my time, it's taking me a good long while as well too.

They were of absolutely no use to me whenever I was downed

Pretty sure the main reason people are complaining about skins is because they currently can't play the game and annoyance is the easiest way to forget desire...

You hear that, Epic? Want people to be happy with your stupid DLC, move up the release date. Ahem.

 

[RiderKairuu]

Just got in with my copy. I think I already know the answer but is this safe to play on Live? I've gotten many games before street date and have never had a problem, but I thought I'd ask anyway.

This.

If you care about VG, just play on another account in the mean time.

 

[Ballistik]

Hm? Explain?

You'll lose unlockable weapon skins that you would of earned if you have reached level 100 in Gears 2 multiplayer. I think you're only speaking of like bans or something, and your answer is no. You're fine.

Oh ok thanks for that. I haven't played Gears 2 MP at all. Only Horde and Co Op so I guess I don't have to worry about that.

This DLC better be effing worth it.


If they pull some crap like '2 maps per dlc!' i'm going to fucking destroy someone.

 

[Skilotonn]

I too second the great teammate A.I. - I'm on Hardcore, and the couple of times I got downed, they came and revived me, even when they were far away.
