I rarely see any talk of it at all any more. Was I correct in thinking that a generic FPS with a lot of hype would soon be forgotten?Tickmenanny
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?

Campaign is short, multiplayer is fun, but nothing to write home about
you were correct
Nope. It's still a top played game on XBL and it's the best graphics on consoles to date.BioShockOwnz
Graphics, the reason people have killed for a copy of Lair.

There are still more Counter-Strike tournaments than both combined.
Too bad Gears of War was a 3rd person shooter. What game are you talking about?RonnieLottinSFIf it looks like a FPS, Plays like a FPS, is as generic as an FPS...

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.?

Then I guess you have no idea what the hell1st person and 3rd person means which is pretty sad and just shows how ignorant you are.

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

What FPS that came out over a year ago has NOT had talk about it dwindle since it's release? You are biased...deal with it.
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.
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.rexoverbey
Neitehr of those games scored 9.6+ and said to be by fans to be one of the best games ever made like lemmings did for gears of war....
Nope. It's still a top played game on XBL and it's the best graphics on consoles to date.BioShockOwnz
Agreed
