Typical level 1 thread. That aside, I don't even know where to begin with the video you linked. :|

Actually it's a proven fact Gears of War 3 is UNDERRATED. If anything, Lair is overrated. How that game got a 96 MC astounds me. :?

The video is 13 minutes long. There is no way you or anybody in this thread has watched it yet People watch the video and actually hear what he has to say. He makes perfect sense. You guys are the type of fanboys he was talking about

i didnt watch the video. I thought gears 3 was great. Best game in the series. but it felt a little stale to me and with uncharted i dont think its the best in its class anymore. anyway, i really want epic to move on and do something different.

Went ahead and stopped watching after I skipped forward about halfway and he drops the f bomb 3 times in one sentence while describing it.

This is not an opinion I care about.

Gears has my favourite setting and monsters in a shooter yet, by far

So, while i hate the linear gameplay (loved the Berserkers though), i still love its world and huge bosses/monsters

Reminds me of what a new movie in the calibur of aliens or predator could be like, trully epic setting

Generally i hate games like these, so linear and repeatitve, but Gears has the world that sets it apart for me

I still enjoyed Gears 1 and 2 a lot more than Gears of War 3, even though 1 & 2 had crappy online connection. Gears 2 is still my favorite of the trilogy. I had so much fun in MP online with Gears 2. With Gears 3.. it just doesn't feel the same. Most of the new gameplay mechanics and weapons feel gimmicky in competitive online although they fit the game's story and universe. *shrugs* I would rate it a 9.0/10.. and Gears 1 and 2 both 9.5's.

I just borrowed the game from a friend and I'm trying to keep an open mind about it but so far I'm not feeling the gameplay and graphics. I'm still in the first chapter so I'll keep playing the game to see if there are any surprises in store for. The mp is not as meh as the sp but it's not something that I see myself playing after an hour.

I agree. If Gears 3 is overrated so are half the blockbuster games these days. COD, GTA, FIFA, MADDEN etc etc.

Haven't bought gears 3 but he brings up some things I haven't heard mentined before.

He says over all: Gears 1 > Gears 3 > Gears 2 (because of it's crappy online)

He says Campaign: Gears 1 > Gears 2 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Gears 3

He says Graphics: Gears 1? > Gears 2 > Gears 3 ????

comments?

Obviously the graphics in Gears 3, a 2011 release, are better than Gears 1, a 2006 release. :?

Gears 3>G2>G1 overall.

Gears 2>G3>G1 for SP.

I used to tell people that I think Halo 1 had better graphics than Halo 2 and people bashed me for it, but I still stand by that claim today. I'm not saying he's right here but being the newer release dosen't always mean best *graphic wise*.

It's technically far more advanced than Gears 1, that's a fact. It's also far more visual appealing to the eyes all round, at least I think so.

Seriously, for a series that was ragged on for being "brown and gray", they absolutely shut those people up with the new colour palate. Some levels are incredibly lush and vibrant, the last thing you'd expect from a Gears game.

And lol at you thinking Halo 1 looks better than Halo 2, Halo 2 was a graphical beast back in the day.:P

I prefer Halo to Halo 2 but hot damn there's no way it LOOKS better than part 2. That's not even a valid opinion because it's simply not true.

A lot of people don't appreciate Gears because the MP has a steep learning curve.

You can go into the SP and kick ass even on higher difficulty settings but MP is a different ball game.

There are a lot of Gears 1 & Gears 2 vets that have been playing for years and Gears 3 like the previous games has a STEEP learning curve. I played the previous version in a casual manner and never really went into it in much depth. But like I said there are lot of VERY experienced and skilled Gears players out there who will tear inexperienced players apart. You cant jump into Gears and rack up kills like you do in other games. I'm an experienced FPS player and I regularly get my ass handed to me in Gears.

You've gotta learn all the weapons, learn how to get ACTIVE reloads every time, you need to know how to use COVER. you need to learn quickly reflexes and accuracy and know which weapon to use when. When you're up against VERY experienced players naturally you will learn the hard way. But if you put in the time then you will come good. But this isn't COD, BF or Killzone where anyone can rack up kills easily.

The game was pretty good, the normal difficulty is way too easy and the story was one of the worse in video game history. I'm not sure why Epic wanted to create soap opera drama in their game, but I laughed all the way through the ridiculous story.
