Re: Gears of War Discussion Thread

Well, i'm done playing for the night. After a few hours of single player, which did get easier after I got used to the controls, which takes a couple of hours, I moved on to the online modes. This was very fun, but I'm not sure how I feel about no respawns and only four on four. However it was exciting to get the last kill a couple of times.

Next, I moved on to the co-op story mode. This was a blast! You can pretty much pick who you want to play with and jump in at whatever level of the game they are currenly playing. Got a favorite level? Jump on with someone who's there. Dont like a certain level? You can avoid those too. Should be nice when theres more people who have the game. Must buy IMO.

Finally, it's Wednesday, and us common folk can get our hands on the game. I just have to get through the work day.

I'm actually more interested in this game now because of how hard it is. I hate games where I can take 40 bullets before going down. And I like the idea of not being able to respawn after you've died in an online match. I think it makes it a lot more realistic.

The only thing I'm concerned about is the offline gaming. I do have online now but I don't know how much I'll use that. If I were to play this game 75% of the time offline would it still be worth it?
I'm torn between this game and Rainbow Six:Vegas. I played the demo recently and I loved it.

I thought one of the things that makes the game so fun, is how easy the controls are. You can pretty much just pick up and play. As far as no respawns, with a game like this I wasn't sure if I would like it or not, but the rounds end so quickly your not just sitting around waiting forever, even if your the first to die. This game is just fun !

Casual mode is no slouch, but Hardcore will kick your @ss if your not careful. Very good game so far, I played for 2 hours last night before quitting to play some GH2. If GH2 never came out, I probably would have played for another 2hours. LOL!

Same here, I got to the berserker, almost made it outside, then couldn't get even remotely close again, cussed a few times really loud, then went to try out GH2.

I am stuck on the 4th checkpoint(I think), where the guy is snipping from the upper window, and I think there is a guy who has one of those rapid fire guns . I gave up and went to bed. LOL. Game is hard, but really fun.

I'm going to close this one up since we have an Impressions sticky.
