Ok so I buy gears 2 because 360 fans go on about how good the single player is and im up to the bit where they just went underground and im using those rockworm things as cover, So far it's the most overated uninspired game i've played I just want to know if it really picks up or is this as good as it gets for gears 2

I played throughout the entire SP despite me hating it throughout and I have to say, it does not get better. It's more or less the same throughout. I just finished it to spite myself for getting it.

I thought it sucked massively. The characters are even worse than the gameplay, if that's even possible.

That's what happens when you try to bring in a story to a game that doesn't need one.

It's all opinion. I was personally disappointed with Fable 2 for instance, finding it way too easy and shallow for the type of game it is. I thought ToV and Fallout 3 were way better, and I enjoyed Valkyria Chronicles for my PS3 a whole lot more as well.

On the shooter front, Gears 2 and Resistance 2 were both meh, more of the same. Frankly, I expect that KZ2 will also be more of the same. They are all generic shooters IMO, and the whole genre is desperate for some innovation. I can't wait for some more exploding barrels in KZ2 :(

Bottom line, if you aren't into Gears 2 yet, I doubt very much you will find it getting better. I played through once on hardcore and I don't even have the desire to play the SP again on insane :(

Few other things, having the movement of a train when running is retarded, and having to stick to something and duck down before being able to go over something just freaking stupid, WTF is a jump button.

Yes, although so far the single player is not as memorable as the first, but I'm just about to finish the third act so it may get better for me. I have more fun playing multiplayer with the bots though. Except for that map with the hail. Even the insane bots will sometimes just stand out there and die.

Hey TC, if you want a real stop n' popper, then check out Dark Sector. It blows away Gears of Bore in every single way.BioShockOwnz

what's your gamertag

I believe it's player1 to sign in I have no interest on hooking 360 up for online even with a silver account because it doesnt have wifi and im not paying for the online, not a chance!! I was stupid enough once to pay for live on my first 360 and I believe my gamertag was jetmr2 or something like that, I have a 360 now just for exclusive offline gaming.

It only gets better if you want it to, I mean to go into this game expecting nothing less than exactly what the first blockbuster game brought would be foolish. It even has the same downsides, horrendous dialogue and a very mediocre story line, the only thing redeeming, is what many consider the only thing that matters and in that it does the formula to a point, its perfect in its own sense. So no it will not get better it will drag on and the story will remain boring and the dialogue will go on with profanity used in odd situations, but if you dig the gameplay theres a hell of a lot more to go, but dont rely on Multiplayer its very poor at the moment.

To be honest I agree with you. My biggest problem with the game is how incredibly easy it is once you get the controls down. Had the same problem with the first.

Yea, Gears 2 is pretty much the same as Gears 1, just A LOT bigger, and A LOT faster paced. For me, it was a satisfying run through but I probably couldn't go through the campiagn more than twice. A lot of it is really dumb ways to find cover when you need it (ie. a rock snake shuffling around exactly where u need it.; those annoying retractable cover pieces) It all screams to me that Epic was just bored with putting random debris everywhere for cover and tried to do something "creative".

when i used to have a 360, i enjoyed the first few minutes of gears, then found it very repetative. That said, I enjoyed multiplayer for a while. I played gears 2 at my friends house and I must say i enjoyed single player a lot more. Didnt get a chance to play multiplayer, but I heard gears > gears 2

That's your problem right there. You should have bought because you wanted to play it.

Now you are going to complain how bad something that you never wanted to play is supposed to be and people are supposed to take you seriously.

A system wars limited edition sticky facepalm award goes out to you.

You should be proud, it's the 20th one this year.

Someone asked the TC what his gamertag was and he wont respond to it. He does not have this game or a 360 lol. He just saw the rockworm part at his friend's house.

I beat the game on insane and had a great time doing it.

Assuming

A.) You actually own the game

B.) And you have taste

then you will be blown away.

Dark Sector? No that game was such a pale knockoff. I know that you have to suspend disbelief for a comic book but its too much when you have to accept that a random chemical accident produces medeival armor and weapons on a person. They should have called that game "Chuck the glaive and chop people in half" because thats the only thing that almost made me keep the rental.

Yes, they can surely jump around like cute fluffy bunnies with armor like that. You complain because that's the only thing you want to. Try trolling better next time.

Why? What am I missing? That part was relatively deep into the game wasn't?

It seems he just doesn't like the gameplay or the type of game it is, which doesn't change.

I don't have a gamertag. So my credibility of owning a 360 is suddenly lost? Get with the times, not everyone wants to pay for Live.

Would you prefer a picture? Tallica33 was my first name a while back before I made a gold account. I didn't know I could use my old name which is why I have the current one... Anything else you need?
