Honestly, Are You Guys Excited For Gears 3 At All?

This is probably just me cus im a big weirdo, but im surprisingly not excited about gears 3 right now....that surprises me because i personally had fun with Gears 1 and 2 and the Gears series is basically one of the only exclusive cards Xbox has up its sleaves now.

The thing is, idk, it looks the same.... i watched the videos for the Gears 3 gameplay and to my dissapointment the game actually seemed like Gears 2 with more guns, Gears 2 with a bayonet attatched to a machine gun. True, not all games have to do complete overhauls, but the Gears 3 game has been teased for a really long time, its coming in September, and Epic Games hasnt done much with it to seem like its going to be anything to drool over. It seems that unless you are a die hard Gears fan who is really into the Gears storyling and multiplayer, what does Gears 3 have to offer besides more maps, a feminine partner, and a new gun or two. Maybe im expecting too much since now Gears has the pressure of being the signature Xbox release of the year, but honestly a game of this caliber and a company of this reputation should be trying to do a bit more to make the game worth buying in a season of Uncharted, Battlefield, and Mass Effect

Do you guys feel a bit "unimpressed" by Gears 3 so far or are you still excited as hell?

No more or less than Killzone 3, Resistance 3, Crysis 2

LA Noire, Arkham City, Uncharted 3, Portal 2, Deus Ex HR. ME3, Skyrim, The Withcer 2 etc etc Im looking alot more forward to

Yep yep, looks great. One of he few shooters I want this year,

I don't want to get too excited for it because I don't have a 360... though I am anticipating a couple games more.

Who wouldn't be excited to ummmm, Finish the Fight ? :P

Gears is still the best 3rd person shooter there is imo. so i can't wait.

I personally wouldn't be surprised if it scored AAE. It looks like Gears 2.5.

Not really to be honest. Much less thenI thought i'd be.

Your complaints are odd though. Uncharted hasn't changed at all either, it just looks prettier each time. Fair enough the second added multiplayer, but Gears had that from day one.

Not too terribly excited. Gears 2 was a letdown. But I'll give them a chance to surprise me. I'll be getting it soon after release, but I'm not expecting much.Badosh

Ill get it but iam not too excited about it gears 2 was a huge letdown for me.

I hate that they changed the feel of the MP i loved how gears 1 felt and moved

it was quicker / faster paced.

No, of course i'm not excited for GEOW3, why should i...then again i don't have a 360 so my opinion doesn't count that much :P

Personally I'm excited as hell, not only for Gears 3, but just to have a high quality exclusive to play on mah 360!

Of course gears is a great series much better then quite a few others this years.

Honestly...no. I was very very excited when I first heard about it coming out this april. Then they decided to push it back. Into dangerous territory I might add, I mean I would have picked up this game in april with nothing else real pleasing coming out that I can think of. But put it in the area of release of U3 and Skyrim (and my personal hype deus ex)....haha yeah right.

I think it goes the other way around.

The original Uncharted was mediocre, but with U2, NG heavily improved on the game and made it a high-quality AAA title, for sure. I think they will continue on that road, scoring another high score with U3.

The original Gears was a masterwork, but with Gears 2, Epic made the series a disaster. Taking into account all the problems at launch--in particular the disastrous multiplayer mode, inferior controls and mediocre gameplay, I fail to see how it scored 9.0. The only positive aspect ot Gears 2, an actual improvement on the previous title, was the story line. That was surprisingly good.

Inferior controls? Gears 2 controlled better than Gears 1. And the gameplay was a lot better. The cover system was improved. The SP campaign was so much better.

I don't understand any of that.

They're both Third Person Shooters. One mix's in some token puzzles (That solve themself) and some platforming(Holding a button) I'd agree that due to both of these Uncharted is better paced, but that's all.

The Story is poor, well acted, but poo.

As for enviroments andscenarios ... Does Gears 3 not use enviroments and scenarios, or does it take place in a vacuum full of locust? I seem to remember beign inside a huge worm like creature, and travelling along some sort of river, only to be confronted by a "giant sea creature"

I'd consider them scenarios, with excellent enviroments.

Better only thanks to superior story telling and better character development.

They screwed up thr basics, though.

No, better thanks to improved pacing and more variety.

sure thing haha....i cant say its done a terrible amount but it should and i expected epic to do that....but halo reach is a good example to throw here. Halo stayed the same in alot of ways, but heck the addition of armor abilities and the spaceship level were at least quite good attempts at making this feel different, ms555

3 minute space level, and token armor abilities impresses you?

Then surely horde mode did as well ...

[QUOTE="ms555"] uncharted is a different case, its a third person adventure game and a strong part of what makes uncharted special is the story and environments and scenarios, so i know naughty dog is going to top all that in the next and that is what will make it worthwhile.....but games like gears are different....fps games need to do more than change settings to make them look impressive, and they need new mechanics and cool ideas to integrate. Gears 3 doesnt have enough of that as of yet, its the same thing with one or two tweaks.ms555

Yes, very excited.

Yeah, I'd say its my most anticipated titles of the year. Something about Gears mutliplayer keeps you coming back. It doesn't need perks or gun customizations, its pretty old school, its just the perfect balance of skill, and I love it.

BC2 another game with small tweaks from its predecessor and me2 changed genres:P It seems like you're just looking for things to hate on.

You mean Dom crying?

One of the most ridiculed scenes this generation?

In fact, the whole Dom drama has been ridiculed non-stop.

Seriously, Gears 2's "character development" was terrible.

[QUOTE="ms555"][QUOTE="MFDOOM1983"]Could you provide some examples of sequels that do this released in the same gen. Shooter genre btw
