JSky, you haven't given us anything to go off of. Graphics... thats all? LOL

The problem is, I am clueless as to playing this game. I usually only play sports games, so this is really new to me. I have played maybe 3 levels on Halo 2 if that can tell you anything.

I felt that graphics were the only thing I feel qualified to report back, to me gameplay is sweet, again I dont have a clue as to what else to tell, fighting games are not my specialty, sorry to disappoint.

Re: Gears of War Discussion Thread

For those that have it, is there a lot of traffic on the multiplayer games? I'm wondering how many people will have this game by this afternoon or even this evening.

Re: Gears of War Discussion Thread

I called my gamestop and they said they should have it around 2 (so roughly 25 mins), I've called twice already, first when I got out of class around 10 and they said sometime this afternoon, called back at noon and they said they'd have it around 2, so I guess I'll call at 2 to be sure!

I bet they're thrilled to keep hearing from me and everyone else

Man I'll be calling my EBGames at around 4PM. Which GS did you go to? Do you live in the Atlanta area?

Athens, GA GameStop.

Re: Gears of War Discussion Thread

Well... havent tried multiplayer yet... just started out on campaign.. cool feature is that you can host a co-op or jump into a co-op game... since i am playing or a regular TV, some parts (though minor) appear dark.. graphically otherwise it is a good looking game... almost feels "Duke Nukem-ish" with some of the quips heard in the game.. i went the training route & it shows how to open doors, pick up stuff, etc.. i had some trouble trying to figure out 1) how to jump over a blockade, & 2) how to select different weapons..


so far for now...

Quik Tip: When reloading make sure you re-load within the WHITE area of the BAR @ the top of the screen. When you do this correctly, your bullets are more effective, allowing you to use less bullets to take-out the Locust...

Again, this is not a joke, only Video Game dedicated stores are allowed to sell them today. Places like Best Buy, Walmart, Circuit City, etc cannot sell them until the 12th. That's why they're calling the 12th Emergence Day, because everyone will be selling the game.
If you think I'm joking or lying call your local BB or Circuit City. They'll tell you the same thing. I know because I already have.

I saw in the sunday paper out here CC and BB would have the game Wed after 5 and you could go buy it then. Emergence day is just the day EVERY store should have it in stock. They can sell it whenever they get it.
