Was the GEOW Chainsaw the coolest gaming innovation this gen?

I rmember when it was 2007, i got gears of war and  i chainsawed a locust...  WOW THAT  WAS THE ******* COOLEST THING EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!! and now 6 years later, its still pretty cool, i think it was the coolest gaming innovation this gen. do you agree? if not, what do you think it is?

No, lame

pffft no.

The coolest innovation this gen?  Depends if we are talking items.  items wise I would say portal gun with all the mechanics from Portal 2.  Otherwise there is also destruction in BF (not as much in 3), parkour from Mirrors edge and Uncharted, and more.

lmao "innovation."

I've never played a GeOW game, though I have a hard time seeing how a chainsaw gun is "iinnovative", especially seeing as I can't think of any other game that even has one.

pffft no.

Please describe.  I have never seen it done like that to my reccolection.  They made the world far more vertcial and dodging and cover far more useful and dynamic.  

Most generic, yes.silversix_

The cover mechanics yeah, but not the chainsaw.

Portal gun, hands down.

[QUOTE="DragonfireXZ95"] I wouldn't call Uncharted wall climbing innovative; other games have done stuff like that before.CanYouDiglt

I hardly played the old TR games, so I am not the best judge, but I guess what I feel is so innovative about Uncharted is not that there is climbing, but the use of it in multiplayer.  There is so many uses for it and it changes the maps and the way you play.  If you are not using the climbing/parkour in many ways in MP you are doing it wrong.  

Again I didn't play much TR, but I don't believe they had the same degree of parkour and any MP aspect.

You mean the Warhammer 40k chainsword?

Cause thats pretty much what the GeoW chainsaw is.

pffft no.

Battlefields destruction is not innovative, it's just scripted crap. If you watn real inovation play Red Faction from 2001, it has actual real time deastruction and it's way betetr than in any Battlefield game. The best destruction ever has Red Faction Guerrilla.

Dark/Demon's souls invasion mechanics and co-op were innovative.

I could probably keep going if I thought hard enough... :P however, no I agree it isn't innovative. Although it is by far the coolest thing in the series.

scripted or no, it enhanced gameplay in multiplayer.  Red Factions may be technically more impressive and interesting to watch, but it doesn't achieve the same thing BF destruction does.  BF4 seems to be doing it very nicely this time though.

On topic - the chinsaw in GOW 1 is crap and buggy as hell, I don't get where the innovation is.

PC/PS3 hass the most innovative games. Just look at GMOD, Portal, Little Big Planet, Uncharted 2 and many more.

Hell, Wii Fit is more innovative than anything on the Xbox 360. The only real innovation was Halol on the old Xbox, since then, nothing.

The climbing mechanic in assassins creed, blew my mind.

Actually, the 360 pioneered the digital market on consoles, and tons of innovative arcade games came from that.

And mass effect, btw.  Just evening out the dogmatism, bud.
