I'm a pc gamer - but got a 360 because I wanted a system to go with the new tv and wanted to give console gaming a go.

I was Unimpressed with Gears

>> Gameplay was completely railed - no room for exploration etc.

>> Way too short.

>> Controls were rediculous.  The only thing they did right was the controls while under cover.  If you try to run, turning is like trying to turn a mack truck.  Movement was extremely limited in this game.  You cant even jump! Every move seemed so scripted. This was by far the chief flaw of the game. 

>>  No option to filter out the constant bad language.  In a pc version that could be modded.

>> The graphics were good, but  they are slightly outdone by  several PC games.

>> Like many have said, the strive for impressive graphics is coming at the cost of more depth and customization in gameplay. 

Just my thoughts,
Still glad to have a 360  - I do think it is a wiser choice than a PS3, but do not think that either of these consoles are in the same league as PCs.

what do you want us to say?  :roll:

gears is not the only game on the system....have you tried anything else?

I understand that you don't like the game, but if you are going to play cosole games and compare them to pc games then you shouldn't waste your time, sell the 360 and buy a whole bunch of pc games. everyone ends up happy!

I found Rainbow 6 Vegas much more my style. I also disliked how closed the levels are in gears. Vegas gives you much more room to roam. Maybe you should check it out.

I agree.

I am sick and tired of getting the same games over and over again with a different name and better textures.

Console gaming is getting very boring.

Also Gamerscores is the worst invention ever. People are addicted to it, and it makes people play games they would never even touch if it wasn't for helping out there Gamerscore.

Try either a halo game or rainbow six vegas. Once halo 3 launches you will see anyways how good console gaming CAN be. I was let down by gears too. The gameplay isn't great. Also you might need to get used to using a controller. It can be irritating at first.

everybody has a right to an opinion, console games are becoming a bit repetative, with few AAA titles, but it offers way more genres and its more comfortable, rather than having to be within two feet of a monitor.

PC survives off FPS, MMO's, and RTS. thats a fact. sure, they may have other genres, but they are all completely dominated by the consoles. racers, rpg, sports, action, platformers are all best and in wider variety on consoles.

PC's are the home of a lot of great rpg's. That genre is debatable as to which platform has the best ones.

Peoples opinions are totally objective, you found the movement restrictive and missed a traditional jump button. What I experenced was a context sensitive movement button that aided my ability to move around the levels to a great degree. I thought being able to hold the button down run, to cover, stick to it then tap the button to hurdle the cover and hold it down once again to run to the next bit of cover was a huge improvement over strafing from behind a tree ala Call of Duty, Medal of Honor or almost any other PC title out there, excluding the great system in Brothers in Arms. Try Rainbow 6: Vegas I actually thought its cover system was better than GOW, but be warned you are still going to be stuck with the context sensitive hurdle button instead of the traditional line it up and jump it kind of set up.

i dont need to be a pc gamer to realize that 90% of pc games fall in 3 genres. At least those that are hyped/talked about/recognized.

ok realistically, and i mean honestly now, if you dont like those 3 genres at all, why do you even own a gaming pc? lets be real.

edit: i dont see the 360 being in that same position, it has the shooter, it has the rpgs, it has the racers, it has the platformers, it has the action games, its pretty balanced

I like Halo, but the online community ruins the experience. PC is balanced also. You are just trying to act like it only has a few genres.

I agree.

I am sick and tired of getting the same games over and over again with a different name and better textures.

Console gaming is getting very boring.

Also Gamerscores is the worst invention ever. People are addicted to it, and it makes people play games they would never even touch if it wasn't for helping out there Gamerscore.

wow, that THAT is irony.

considering the fact that the pc lives of 3 genres and has the best graphics every gen, talk about a load of complete BS :lol:

What are talking about 3 genres? Fps,(which we have so many different types, unlike consoles), RTSes(Which is breaking into sub genres, ask 3 diff RTS gamers wats better, CoH, SupCom, and WC3, youll get diff responses), TBS(Its having a HUGE revival), Racers, Sports, MMO, RPG, Action, platformers(there there, u gotta look for em), and many many amny others. We have the biggest diversty if you LOOK!

PC survives off FPS, MMO's, and RTS. thats a fact. sure, they may have other genres, but they are all completely dominated by the consoles. racers, rpg, sports, action, platformers are all best and in wider variety on consoles.

And Consoles survives off of Sports, shooters, and ...... thats really it. Look at top10 seling games of last year, you wont see okami up there.

um, that arguement is really flawed. what does okami have to do with this?

Actually no...consoles don't survive off any genre in particular, a good case can be made that the PC survives off and is dominated by 3 or 4 genres.

I'm a pc gamer - but got a 360 because I wanted a system to go with the new tv and wanted to give console gaming a go.
I was Unimpressed with Gears
>> Gameplay was completely railed - no room for exploration etc.
>> Way too short.
>> Controls were rediculous. The only thing they did right was the controls while under cover. If you try to run, turning is like trying to turn a mack truck. Movement was extremely limited in this game. You cant even jump! Every move seemed so scripted. This was by far the chief flaw of the game.
>> No option to filter out the constant bad language. In a pc version that could be modded.
>> The graphics were good, but they are slightly outdone by several PC games.
>> Like many have said, the strive for impressive graphics is coming at the cost of more depth and customization in gameplay.
Just my thoughts,
Still glad to have a 360 - I do think it is a wiser choice than a PS3, but do not think that either of these consoles are in the same league as PCs.

I think your problem comes from expecting a fully different game. This isn't quake, nor is it Half Life or Far Cry. It isn't Rainbow Six, either. It's a different kind of shooter. Jumping is not necessary or an improvement in any point of the game, and running is not supposed to be your default movement speed. Every try running crouched and then turning without losing speed? As for the bad language, well, I fail to see the problem (though it could have included an option, wouldn't been such a big issue), mainly because if you're playing Gears, frankly, you shouldn't be the kind of person that gets queasy about language. Not to mention, it's not that vulgar, and it all sounds very... natural. (I don't know about you, but if my gun got stuck while under heavy fire, I would be cussing like hell)

The shortness and lack of exploration are pretty much it's main problems, though the linearity is not so bad, in my book: The game is supposed to be a tour de force heavy in action, and it delivers in this aspect.

Consoles tend to have different strenghts than PCs, Max, and you seem to be looking for PC strenghts in a console. If this is the case, then PC gaming is more in tune for you.

Its completely fair to look at the "Game of the Year" or otherwise "Best Console game of the year" and infer the oerall general quality of a platform based off of your perception from that.

This holds true for quality, and ONLY holds true if you're completely, and honestly, a gamer of all genres. The problem Max here seems to be having is that Gears is not his cup of tea gameplay-wise.

If we flip the coin here, PC gaming is a real letdown because Company of Heores isn't the kind of RTS I enjoy. The liberties taken from Able's true campaign are dumb, and making units is too hard, so you can't have massive attacks on the game. Of course, this is quite useless as a base for making an opinion on PC gaming.

Quick note: I love company of heroes, and I love PC gaming. Just making a point here.

Taste =/= quality. Taste differs per person, quality is seen as the average of it. That's why there are people who dislike halo or gta.

Yea, it's completely fair to fall in the hype, but saying that he's been let down by consoles just because of gears and 360 is foolish, that's like saying I didn't like Diablo, so PC gaming sucks.

That's your opinion of only one game though....how about giving others a try?  Like some JRPG's, games you don't always find so readily on the PC.

I found Rainbow 6 Vegas much more my style. I also disliked how closed the levels are in gears. Vegas gives you much more room to roam. Maybe you should check it out.JimJackJose
He doesn't need a 360 for that.
