[QUOTE="brofists"][QUOTE="Spellingiscool"]Just finished the demo. Gameplay is fun. Graphically, it's not too impressive. Judge-Correct

Favorite part was definitely the boss fight at the conclusion of the demo. Still picking this up day 1.

Honestly, the whole 30 minutes of it was my favorite part haha Also, remember-considering this on PS3 hardware, I think the graphics are phenomenal What games would you consider to have great graphics etc?Spellingiscool

I have never played a more boring and restrictive shooter in my life then Gears of War

Gears of War entails everything that is wrong with this industry:

From the boring and repetitious pop and shoot only gameplay in Gears, to the ectreme linearity in Gears, which never suites any purpose or reaps any benefits, to the terrible writing, to the uninspired and poor level design, to the generic characters, to the cringe worthy "stories," to the clunky and unresponsive controls, to the brown and dark color platte of the game etc....

I could go on and on about the many face first blunders of Gears!

Gears is one aweful and poorly exectued cliche on top of another!

Of Gears' many fails here are two big fails

Gears tries to be a story driven game, but fails miserable.

You are always watching cut scenes in Gears too. They take control away from the player often

Thats why I love Uncharted so much, becuase in Uncharted you are PLAYING the cut scenes instead etc

As opposed to Gears which has you watching cut scenes etc

Gears ONLY HAS ONE type of gameplay mechanic.

Its all gunplay, and thats it. SO the one thing Gears does, it doesnt even do that well

For example i find Vanquish, Max Payne, Infamous, Uncharted to have better gun play mechanics then Gears.

Now add the fact that Gears has some of the most shallow and repetitous shooting segments of any shooter out there

Go to one lauguably placed cover in the environment, pop out and shoot, then go to the next lauguably placed cover in the environment...and thats all you are doing through out its 5-7 hour boring campaign. Rinse and repeat until add nasuem occurs

Gears of War is the single worst big budget video game franchise I have ever played

I loath Cliffy B for creating such an aweful, restrictive, generic, cliche, and boring series in Gears of War

Gears of War is utter garbage to me. Lackluster and repetitive gameplay. No diversity. The game is very static. The controls are wonky. Its attempt at having stories is down right laughable etc

I cant say one good thing about the Gears franchise, other then...that yeah in 2006 its graphics were considered top notch

I wish Gears of War would just die out as a series already

Gears of War is the very epitome of generic garbage

More challenge in this 15 min clip than the entirety of most games http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgZQVadAw0Y

Another scenario thats way harder than what you see in most games http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5FcVPJIKXw

Heres a guy raging because God of War isnt a hand holder like most games http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rim63B83QjA

[QUOTE="brofists"][QUOTE="Spellingiscool"] I thought that at first too. Maybe I need to run through it again. True, considering this is PS3 hardware, it does look great, but I've seen this game touted as the next graphics king (PC included) and that's simply not the case. Just wanted to put that argument to bed.

Favorite part was definitely the boss fight at the conclusion of the demo. Still picking this up day 1.

you need to get your eyes checked.

Still need to find time to download the demo, the game is looking good so far. Can't wait!

[QUOTE="funsohng"]God of War combat :lol:Master_ShakeXXX

GoW's combat has always been great. It's not cool to belittle it simply because it lacks depth. What it lacks in depth it more than makes up for in fluidity and spectacle. Most importantly it's fun. 

I'll grab it on the cheap. I'm kind of burnt out on God of War at the moment.

Still ain't got nothing on N3 and Dynasty Warriors. The combat looks good, but not a dynamic and less variety. Which I take over graphics.MicrosoftVP_Ted

Combat in the demo felt exactly the same to me besides the tethering thing and ability to pick up enemy weapons. Square square triangle cool stuff happens repeat.

GOW has always been the best in the hack and slash genre in my opinion .delta3074
