9/10 NeoGAFfers don't understand statistics. The other 3/10 don't care.

Jesus!

Hope my source can come threw and get me one dont feel like spending £30+

Edit, so because of a major screw up in advertising looks like UK gamestation buyers (in store) get commando dom and the only way to get Savage Grenadier Elite in the UK is by ordering from Gamestation.co.uk Anyone want to trade a SGE for a ComDom?

Have Gamestation codes been emailed? as I've not yet got mine.

I'm watching a video made by the same dude that leaked the Blood Drive gameplay one where he shows all the weapon skins on the disc + Mihn, RAAM and Michael Barrick being on the disc too.

Yes, it was confirmed by Rod himself, but still... seeing it just pisses me off.

@Rumble19: Dizzy is in the game yes but only playable in mutiplayer modes.

I have a criticism about a REAL SPOILER. I know people might accidentally highlight it and I don't want to ruin a moment in the game, so I'm going to be vague anyway, but this irked me a little. Don't read if you want to remain fresh.

There's an achievement unlock at some point in the campaign that's really poorly timed. Every other story-based unlock has been a reference to the previous dialogue, and this one pops up out of nowhere and kind of ruins the scene that follows. It's a shame, because it's a really powerful scene, but without the achievement popping I would have had a totally different reaction. I don't see any reason this couldn't have popped afterwards, or at least has a less descriptive name.

Just completed it!! Thanks to an early post by GameStop UK. Solid action game! Just kind of wish they would sort out those damn Unreal Engine 3 problems :(

Shall play it all again through COOP once people get it.

Yes, but it will probably have some other content as well.

You know what's funny, by the way? Even after the TU and with no modifications whatsoever, you can still look at the empty leaderboards for Asura, Rustling and Blood Drive.

Just played through to the beginning of Act 5 and I have to say, holy shit at that game. What kind of voodoo did Epic do to make this run on a 360? The lighting, the colors... Amazing setpieces and everything runs so smooth. I had only one noticeable framerate drop. Controls are really tight as well.

Yeah, I'm in the same boat. Someone should just raid a Wal-Mart or something.

I've stayed up until like 7 the past 3 nights just so I can sleep most of the day away. This game is doing bad things to me. I sort of love it. I haven't been this way about a game in a long time.

Also does anyone else use the mobile version of gaf? The second app page? I can't seem to be able to post anything with it. Every time I hit the post button it just doesn't respond.

Couple of questions I didn't see when I skimmed through the op:

1. Is there a theater mode, ala HALO 3/REACH or is it the same basic setup as GEARS 2 where you can snap photos, but that's about it.

2. Is the Training mode back where you can play all the multiplayer stuff using bots?

It does that sometimes.

I found the link to video showing that Raam and Kim are on the disc, but it's set to private. Anyone have another mirror or someone care to download it?

Won't happen, all that will do is ensure they don't get an interview next time.

- No. Photo mode was taken out.

- There is a Casual Arena for new players to play against each other and learn the basics.

What did you think of the skins? If the gold omen isn't animated (I'm sure it's probably not) it's pretty disappointing.

Rod said it would have gold accents and a gold omen, but all I saw was a big ass ugly as hell gold colored cog covering the middle.

I honestly didn't see one that interested me outside of the ones you can earn. Onyx looked like it could be pretty slick.

This is going to come off as abrasive as fuck but I don't actually care. Do you do anything other than troll? Almost every post I have seen you make in this thread is shit. It's not even just this thread either. Fits your avatar quite nicely actually.

Not all of his posts are troll posts. He does have a point though. But as Alien said, it would never happen.

Duke + trollface makes me laugh for some reason

It also showed Michael Barrick as playable in the same video, I believe.
