Get real the hype was just as high on Zelda and Resistance.Plus there are no AAAe titles on PS3 and Warioware is the only AAA exclusive title on Wii besides RE:4 which is port of Gamecube.

Well, if it has - nobody gave me the memo. I play it every day without fail. I may pop in another game here or there, but I always come back to Gears. When the Halo 3 beta came out, I played about 3 games of the beta and then went right back to playing Gears.

I'm still as fired up about the game as I was 10 months ago when it first came out. Can't say that about any other game that I've ever played. I'm at 8,900 kills and should finally get Seriously... in about a month.

Gears was a great game... but it wasnt "groundbreaking" material.

One could make the argument it's the first "next-gen" looking game from this console era, but with so many graphical powerhouses coming in the next few months, Gears is easily forgettable, but still fun to come back to once in a while.

gears of war is a great game with a fantastic multiplayer, though there weren't enough game modes to keep it going. Also, Epic really went out of their way to make it so you couldn't play with your friends (in ranked matches) -__-.

[QUOTE="Tickmenanny"][QUOTE="RonnieLottinSF"]Too bad Gears of War was a 3rd person shooter. What game are you talking about?RonnieLottinSF

If it looks like a FPS, Plays like a FPS, is as generic as an FPS...

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 know the difference... do you? Because it isn't very big. Moving the camera a short distance behind the character model does not change it that much.

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

I still play the multiplayer a lot. it may have been slightly overrated, but it isn't generic trash by any stretch. Btw, it is a TPS not an FPS. Those of you who think the multiplayer is bad, are either to easily aggrevated by the games glitches and latency issues, or you don't know how to play very well. Once you get good at the game, its as addicting as any other online shooter, albeit maybe a little more frustrating at times due its shallow nature. Like I said though, its not perfect but it is fun.

There weren't exactly a lot of alternatives, except for Oblivion or Zelda:TP. 2006 was a slow year. Oblivion got pretty repetative after a while, and it wasn't as deep as it could have been in terms of combat and RPG elements. It was more of an action game than an RPG. Zelda was a good game, but it still followed that same Zelda formula that was created almost 10 years ago. Gears brought something new (efficient cover system, and downing mechanic), even if some of its gameplay wasn't compeletely unique it was done well, and it had stellar graphics to boot. If you are implying Resistance should have gotten GOTY I suggest you think about what it offers compared to a lot of other shooters out there.

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....

9.6 :|

Jealous much?

Jealous? You don't make sence. Dude made a statement using Resistance and Motorstom as examples trying to defend Gears of War. I simply pointed out the diffrences between those games which is why this thread was made. Lemmings said Gears was one of the best games ever when they thought it was exclusive and the best looking game seen on systems.

On top of that the game scored 9.6 which xbox fans defended to the death. Alas after it's all said and done, isn't NOT one of the best games ever made (MGS *pick any one you like* comes to mind) People talk about each and evey one of these games madeeven back the the fist one made on the PS1....on the PS1.

In the end Gears was just fluff, because ofit's graphics, to hold above PS3 fan's head to try and say 360 was a better system, but the game itself was never as great as xbox fanboys said it to be...an it shows.

Also don't go saying something stupid like "jealous" when what I'm saying is relavant to what's going on in my argument. If you didn't realize that pointing out Gears score was relavent to why it shouldn't be compaired to games that are not even AAA statusthen you shouldn't be posting.

ok thats it!!!:evil: you are makin too much f'n sense here on SW......you take your logical sh!t to general discussion or somethin......K....noob......

Ever since it was announced for PC, and it lost its exclusiveness talk of it has imploded on SW.
