Gears 2 feels like an expansion pack.

PSorry, I played Gears 2 on my other gamertag, VB COOPER.

 

And I beat Gears 1 on PC several times.

Give it up man. You are clearly a fake boy. You are even owned again. Go away. You haven't played Gears 2 and you don't even know what the definition of a sequel is.

I expected a full on sequel. Instead, I just got a new campaign with a couple of new weapons and slightly upgraded graphics. No changed to the core gameplay whatsoever.

 

Disappointed.

I didn't notice an upgrade in graphics

You seriously think that the Riftworm wasn't an improvement?

The inside of the worm was a pretty nice change of pace. Had more of a platforming aspect with the teeth dodging and all.

Definitely was nice to not have to shoot anything for roughly twenty minutes. Very Half-Life-esque.

/Yes I played the game and I'm at the razor hail part with the trains and the shielded boomers.

If it isn't broken, why fix it? Besides, time for a reality check. This is what pretty much every single sequal is about. A few new guns and options, new missions and updated graphics. monkeytoes61

Wouldn't that be like most strategie expansion do, minus the graphics upgrade?

If Gears 2 is a sequel, so is Crysis Warhead. :|

If God of War 2 is a sequal, so is Gears of War 2. And yes, both are sequels. Stop trying to argue against reality.

No, both a expansion packs pretending to be sequels.

Half-Life 2 is a sequel. Fallout 3 is a sequel.

No matter how many times you try to ply your propoganda, it does NOT impact the actual facts. You calling those games an "expansion pack" isn't a product of your insight, but really just your denial.

You can call it an expansion pack all you like, the rest of us who have the actual faculty to see things for what they really are will know these are complete sequels. Your delusions have no bearing on that.

Gears2 is a true sequel..

new and longer campaign, new modes in multiplayer, new maps in multiplayer and the all new horde mode isn't enough for you?

I almost feel sorry for you

Umm... gears of war 2 campaign is epic... it's huge, long, thrilling exciting. You can't even compared the two if you actuallly played them both.CPM_basic

I agree, I haven't finished Gears 2 SP yet but it is miles better than the original Gears' SP.

Okay, let me get this straight. You guys want sequels to be radically different than the previous installment, while games like Nuts and Bolts is totally different then the N64 games you people want them to go back to the old, archaic formula? :|

You have got to be kidding me.

You obviously haven't play Gears 2 because it is defianetly a sequel and has tons of new gameplay elements like the meatshield, new executions and an awesome depth. Games like Wrath of the Lich King are expansion packs.

Resistance 2 was very different from resistance 1, many changes for the better, some for the worse. They took a risk, but they made changes that made it FEEL like a sequal, a very good one at that.

Metal Gear Solid Series, almost every installment has distinct improvments over the other, MGS4 having the most. The gameplay, shooting, sneaking, CQC, everything in the game was basically changed around, even the controls. It felt like a sequal becaue of this. It set it self apart from the others and it was great. Every MGS game does this and it works.

If you want more examples feel free to ask.

No that is not it, it is changing the game enough to make it different. Changing a game like half life 2 into a RTS would be changing the entire game itself, the only left intact would be the name and similarities like characters and enemies from the game. That is like making a entire new game, the TC isnt talking about that.

The burning city was the riftworm right?  If so, that was the only part where the riftworm was impressive to me.(i think i'm confusing levels...)

pwnage number 2, the mega pwn

PWNAGE X2! :lol: that's 2 times TC got caught lying. you just completely destroyed him:lol: 

most of the HD games nowadays are same concept + longer + fixes on multiplayer

[QUOTE="foxhound_fox"]Why did you even expect the core gameplay to be changed? With that formula they were already highly successful... no way changing it can make them any more.Dick_Derringer

I expect more out of a $60 game.

When was the last time you paid $60 for an expansion pack?

you tell me?  how was MGS4, R2, Motorstorm2 and the whole slew of PS3 titles you're probably drooling over?

Gears2 is a true sequel..

new and longer campaign, new modes in multiplayer, new maps in multiplayer and the all new horde mode isn't enough for you?

That's like saying broodwar for starcraft was a sequel...

Umm... gears of war 2 campaign is epic... it's huge, long, thrilling exciting. You can't even compared the two if you actuallly played them both.CPM_basic

I have the same opinion. It's fascinating, captivating, barbaric and entertaining.  :)
