No, just no. Halo 3 well be the game for 360. Just like Halo was for Xbox. M$ understands that's all they have. Let them have they day, please.

No, you were wrong. It was a great game but Halo 3 is on it's way out, plus COD4, Mass Effect, etc. Do you still talk about resistance?

Lets see, short campaign, laggy multiplayer, somewhat boring multiplayer, non-existant story......No surpirse. Gears of War was not meant to last.

First,it is not an FPS, but it is in the shooter genre which I am sure is what you meant. Second it might be generic with the whole aliens vs. humans and end of the world scenario, but Gears just does everything right. Nothing too fancy and nothing really to hate about it which is what makes it good. Anyway if you wan't my opinion at least half of my friends list is still playing gears which is not a small number seeing as I accept pretty much anyone who sends me a friend request. With more info on Gears 2 maybe next year I doubt it will be forgotten.

You can call it generic all you want, but that viewpoint doesn't hold very well. It's GOTY here and at many sites. It has gotten incredible reviews and the online is still full of people playing it. How many people still rave about WOW on this forum - yet it has 8 million players. How many people still rave about Half Life 2, Final Fantasy X, GTA 3, Forza, Metroid Prime, etc. etc. etc.?

I doubtthe majority of peoplewould disagree however that Gears is generic in the sense of its plot and how we have seen it played out before in many other shooters. Sure it is not exactly the same and it still brings something new to the table with gameplay, but we have all heard the alien vs. human conflict before although it doesn't seem to get old. Generic doesn't mean bad just nothing outstanding or different.

except i would say alot of the gameplay in gears is not generic at all, a lancer with a chain saw? cover and blind fire? tag grenades? itss story may be a little bit but not the gameplay

They're not aliens, monsters more is like ith.

I dont see how a story can be unique while still be attractive to mainstream audience, not that there is much out there in the "unique-ness" ( :roll: ) catogory.

Gears of War does its own thing, which is why it stands out from the crowd.

Bioshock will be forgotten even quicker

Sad games like Gears win GOTY and score higher(9.6) than games that are remembered 10 years later like Final Fantasy 7 (9.5)

In 10 years if you say Gears of War nobody will know what you're talking about

Are cows still talking about Motostorm or Resistance? Are sheep still taking about Wii sports, Zelda, or Warioware? No they are year old games people are focused on the holiday season games and the hype around them. Come back next year and no one will be talking about this holiday either, but the next.

It didn't really have any lasting appeal.Locke562

Then it wasn't really a 9.6 game.

People still talk about MGS2 and halo 1 almost daily on the fourms....they've alreadystopped talkingabout Gears simplely because they see better looking games are starting to come out now, andGears isdamn near new in comparison. (both of those othergames came out in 01)

..Hate to break it to you..but it was a 9.6. Perhaps you'll have to learn to with that.

Check the gamespot review requirments..there is nothing in there about games having to be "talked about" for a while afterwards.

not an FPS, it was a Third person shooter with an innovative way to play. It got really boring really fast. And it has almost been a year since release so it had a good run. But it doesn't deserve to still be played, it had its run now its done.

Gears of War was MS' RE4. A game with excellent graphics, and decent sound effects/music, but with such a lackluster story and generic gameplay. Sure, it had a bit of replay value with the multiplayer, but many people stopped playing that after a couple weeks due to it's lack of variety.

Halo 3. That's why. Plus I lost my copy of gears and my sister broke my brothers copy. So There is no copy of Gears in the house.
