Gears of War 2 KING of this Gen.....

And the "more exclusive" argument is a dead end. Number one that will be going down big time because most "PC only" devs are going to make multiplats.

And just because you have "more" AAAA and AAA doesn't make it the best or better platform lol

The arguments on this board are weak in many aspects;)

I WILL TAKE THE WORD OF THE DEVELOPERS AND PEOPLE IN THE INDUSTRY OVER FIRED UP HERMITS ANY DAY OF THE WEEK:D

It is in article after article and statement after statement from people in the industry. Just like Gears 2 wont make it to PC because Epic knows the issues.

In System Wars, yes it does.  I find the Wii to be my favorite system this generation, does that mean it's the best in System Wars? Nope, not at all.  It's sold the most and more than likely Wii Sports is being played more than any other game this generation,  but that doesn't mean it's magically won.  You don't have to like it, but you can't really make an argument by trying to change the rules.

@ Jason Heyman:

Where did i even mention piracy in that response to you? You dont' have a viable response so you revert to something i said earlier in a different response? I've been over this before. Epic's past 2 games were console based. UT3 wasn't even as good as UT2004 (which is the superb PC exclusive and sold well over a million copies) and Gears of War was a 1 year old port of a console game. Honestly, who expected these to sell too well on PC when there are already superior titles on the PC? When Epic makes a PC specific game worth buying or releases a title like Gears 2 either very soon after or simultaneously with the console release then you'll see higher PC sales for them. Until then, they can complain all they want. Gears of War sold near 1 million despite it being a 1 year old port. Crytek? They're just complaining. Crysis alone sold near 2 million copies (not sure about Warhead as i haven't seen figures on it yet). Blizzard? Never heard them complain considering their past few titles were WC3/Frozen Throne and WoW/Burning crusade. Both of which have sold millions as well as their Starcraft IP (hence SC2 being exclusive to PC). My point was that, despite piracy, many upon many PC games still sell 1+ million copies. Considering there are no royalty fees (not expecting you to know about this) when developing on PC due to it being an open platform and having no MS/Sony/Nintendo in the picture as well as the vastly less development costs on the PC, in most cases, that means profits (as with Sins of a Solar Empire incurring massive profit margins from their sales).

The ironic thing is that, despite being wrong about what you said, you still won't admit that you do nothing but claim PC games and PC gaming in general as "irrelevant" when they are both relevant to everyone but you. Just stop doing that and you'll be fine.

Edit: Check the current Epic quotations. Gears 2 not releasing on PC simultaneously was due to 360 focus, not piracy. Mark Rein said this himself. Same thing was said for Gears 1.

And yet, despite all those "articles", the PC still has the most exclusives AAA/AA. Ironic isn't it? ;)

So just because you don't mention piracy I can't. And the articles I read Blizzard is looking heavy into bringing Diablo 3 to console and Crytek is looking to make games for consoles=Crytek engine and Epic has complained about piracy on PC. So I would say these devs are doing more than just "complaining" ;)

It will probably sell 6 million copies during the prime of the games life span. And Gears or War 3 will do even better. The only problem I have had with the game is lag. And that will get patched sooner or later. This game is going to put out huge numbers and will be the top "console" game of this gen! Who cares about PC gaming? The topic of my thread was about gears not stupid MMO's!!!!!:roll:jasonheyman

The people has spoken and put Gears of War 2 back in the throne.

gears 2 is not that much of an improvement over gears 1. not saying it isn't a bad game. it's a fanstastic game actually, well deserving of the scores it gets.

but seriously, i don't think this game comes close to MGS4.

No, the Kings this gen are GTA 4 and MGS4, the AAAA's.EVOLV3

That 10 doesn't mean anything. Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 got a 10, for crying out loud. GTA4 is the worst game in the series. I can't comment on MGS4, because I haven't played it, but from all the other games that got a 10, I have to wonder...

I am not much for sales numbers, but they don't lie. Gears 2's sales numbers are a lot more impressive than a game simply getting a 10 on a website.

More than 1.5 million people logged into "Gears of War 2" on Xbox LIVE during the weekend, racking up a total 15 million gameplay hours and helping set a new record for concurrent LIVE players.

Stating that the games is "well on its way to becoming one of the biggest releases of this console generation", the game saw a launch in 20 countries.

Those are some big numbers..... For one weekend alone....

Thats great! I was one of that 1.5 million guys :D

mgs4 and gta4 both passed gears of war 2 in sales and scores.

MGS4, GTA4, SMG, SSBM > GeoW2

9.0+ >>>> 9.0

And Yes, we're in Gamespot.

I havent really been blown away by anything this year really. I havent played Gears 2 but Gears 1 wasnt really anything special for me either even though I hyped it a lot. GTA4 was good for awhile and then I realized it lacked so many things the other games had and just didnt have as much stuff that you were able to do. From what played of MGS4 it was pretty good, but Ive only played i a little bit at my friends house but seemed good and I have always been a fan of MGS series. I still have yet to play warhead either. Thats a game I think would be fun and enjoyable. Overall I have felt like this year really lacked something for me. Like last year I really enjoyed crysis and STALKER. For console the game that stood out for me was SKATE sine it brought a new way of playing a skateboarding game and sinc eI skateboard I felt like was very believable in the things I could do and I never really got bored with. I think it may just be I am in college and I just dont have the time really to stick to a game for awhile and thoroughly since I am always so busy. Thats my ramble and im sticking to it.Killfox

Gears 2 will blow you away...play it. 

So just because a game gets a 10 means it's king? I don't think so... This game will be played way more than GTA4 and MGS. A rating is an opinion to a degree. Doesn't make a game the best of that Gen...jasonheyman

gears is worthless after you have played the sp and coop a few times, the mp is terriable.  if we go by scores I say stalker or fc2 is the best new ip this gen. they are much better games in the long run, gears you play for graphics, it will look terribly dated in 3 years time.

excuses excuses 

thats becuase gears will be old news when the next big shooter comes out and no one will care for the mp in gears and it will go dead

umm No 

Gears of War 3 will:P 

Gears 2 would be king if it werent so glitchy, if it had moree multiplayer game modes and if matchmaking wasnt so slow.

In it's current state I'd deffinatly say Halo 3 is hands down better. At least Bungie knows how to properly play test a game before releasing it.

The people? Last I checked, we judged quality based on parlimentary standards of representation similar to that of America's Federalist Republic.

i.e. We let reviews speak towards quality. Irrational demographics tend to endorse a tyrrany of the majority in matters that the majority is clearly not objective or versed enough to discern (see also: Microsoft brand loyalty).

Me, I don't listen to the people or the reviewers.  

What does amount of time logged into a game have to do with king of this gen. WoW makes that amount of hours look like nothing if you think about it.tmntPunchout

Getting played more doesn't make it king either... =\
