HOLY FUCKING CHRIST IN THE HEAVENS

this game, and this is nowhere near an understament, makes Obvlivion and every other nex gen game, look like they are on nintendo's 8 bit processor.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT, if you won an 360, and a large high def TV, you owe it to the child inside you to buy this game TOMORROW.

and i mean it when i say it makes oblivion look like crap.

Re: GEARS of WAR-- OMFG

i remember seeing somewhere today (probably on digg) that this game got a 10/10 from 1up. so that must be saying something.

i played some game on my buddies hd wide screen tv months ago that looked like the fuckin beginning of saving private ryan, it was amazing. so if this is any better graphic wise it has gotta be $$$

Re: GEARS of WAR-- OMFG

honestly i am not into consoles that much, i am thinking of buying a wii just because it is so different and could be pretty fun and i fuckin love mario. i dont care about hyper-realisitic gaming, i love myself more cartoony and off the wall games personally. that is why i loved WoW b/c the graphics i think just "fit" what should be there and i didnt need 10 gigs of ram and a new 6800 nvidia card to play. the gaming was there, but alas it took up too much time.

the last fps i was really into was honestly quake2 when i was in college, then i got hooked on starcraft.

the only game im really jonesing to play is Spore for the PC which isnt going to come out forever =/

btw sightless have you heard of Huxley? i guess that is going to be the game w/ the best graphics ever to come out for the PC come next year...

Re: GEARS of WAR-- OMFG

i saw videos and shots off Huxley ... that one seems unreal

Re: GEARS of WAR-- OMFG

[COLOR=orange]It's simply a new style of game play. Imagine having a combat photographer following you around in battle, that's what's it's like. The Pop and Shoot style of cover and concealment then fire is amazing. It really makes you feel that your character is agile and is nothing like those stiff FPS where alls you see is a gun barrel. [/COLOR] [COLOR=orange][/COLOR] [COLOR=orange]The attention to detail is amazing, the graphics engine is astonishing not to mention Co-Op mode for 2 player support. The only draw back is that the game does not go into much detail with regards to a story line, so this game does not compete with Halo with that regard.[/COLOR]

Re: GEARS of WAR-- OMFG

saw this game being reviewed on techtv (dont remember what they are called now), they gave it a 5 out of 5. Defo seems like an interesting one to grab

#748771Post 13 of 59

Re: GEARS of WAR-- OMFG

those screenshots arent from cut scenes, we will leave it at that. actual game play right three. and those dont even do the enviornments justice.

Re: GEARS of WAR-- OMFG

ok I've been convinced to purchase this bad boy this upcoming weekend. But I've got flipping headset problems ..... I might have to have my 360 exchanged.....

I know algy will be on this weekend, what about you Sean ? You in ?

Re: GEARS of WAR-- OMFG

holy crap, the video is awesome, is that a fan cut or something? i think the music goes so well togehter with the pictures.

#756078Post 17 of 59

Re: GEARS of WAR-- OMFG

finished the game yesterday, eye candy thats all..... and yea I'll give it 10/10 for the new shooting style. Overall, the story could've definitely used more creativity

Congratulation, you just invented 'Third-Person Shooter'!!!!

Re: GEARS of WAR-- OMFG

^^ Its different.... its a combination of first and third without user intervention

Re: GEARS of WAR-- OMFG

I played it at my buddies house in co-op. Brilliant game. I espeically like how you can revive each other after dying.

It got a 9.6 on Gamespot...the toughest reviewers on the internet IMO.

This game is beyond awesome. I don't have a 360 so my time with it has been limited, but I'll just say that the Berserker/Hammer of Dawn sequence (I don't want to give anything away to those that haven't played it) was one of "those" moments. You know...the kind were your jaw drops and you think to yourself "THAT'S WHY I PLAY GAMES!!!!" 8) And that was in the first 20 minutes..I can only imagine how many more there are.

#757956Post 22 of 59

Re: GEARS of WAR-- OMFG

I actually thought that was the toughest part of the game..... that was the part I died the most trying to cross.....

#763455Post 23 of 59

Re: GEARS of WAR-- OMFG

I started playing it this week and it's the best graphically looking game I've seen. It's worth buying a XBOX 360 just to play that game.

#763476Post 24 of 59

Re: GEARS of WAR-- OMFG

i bought it for a buddy of mine. i have not seen him at work for three days.

Re: GEARS of WAR-- OMFG

I think we need to setup our own private gaming match - I visited quite a few public matches yesterday and they were either a bunch of kids running around in them or some of them were gamers with OCD. You couldn't walk 2 steps without a sniper blowing your head off.

if there are ms-ers who are on this game, suggest we get a private match going yea ?

#767862Post 27 of 59

Re: GEARS of WAR-- OMFG

Sugana is studying hard for an entrance exam and I got jack squat to do most evenings after dinner. if its too late for you (since earliest Id be able to get on is about 8:30 pm - which is about 2:30 am your time), I dont mind keeping saturdays / sundays on as well during the day

Re: GEARS of WAR-- OMFG

#767878Post 31 of 59

Re: GEARS of WAR-- OMFG

pootnpublic, just call me when u playing, im usually running around doing something or other during the week, so i need notice.

#767893Post 32 of 59

Re: GEARS of WAR-- OMFG

well let me know if / when you're gonna be on this week.... if we cant tag team in a public match, I'd say lets get a new game going from scratch in INSANITY mode.... finished the game twice now in the rookie / medium dificulty.... only one left to conquer ;)

#771424Post 33 of 59

Re: GEARS of WAR-- OMFG
