Gears of War 2/Epic banned me from forums

A few weeks ago I signed up to talk on Epic Forums. I waited and waited until finally I could start new threads on their forums. My first thread was about how the smokes in gears of war 2 sucked. The next day I looked at my thread I had two pages of replies to what I said. A few days after that I was playing gears and was getting mad at how horrible the game play was. I started to think to myself, this is not the game I bought, this is not even as good as gears one. So I went back on the forum mad a new thread called "I am done with GOW2." Now on this thread I put down what was on my mind. I said that the game was good but eventually the game just got worse and worse as the game began to age. I then wrote a list of ten things how the game was bad. Then I ended the thread by saying that I was going to sell gears of war 2 and either buy Section 8 or WET. The nextt morning I check to see if anybody replied to my thread. I couldn't even get on the forums, I can't even look at the forums any more. I was banned from Epic forums. The only thing it says when I try to look at the forums is that I am banned for bye and that the ban will be lifted never. I laughed when I saw this. The only thing I can say is that Epic is a bunch of babies. I give them criticism about their game on their forum and so they ban me. Now I think Epic is just about of grown babies that produce games for the masses with so many faults in them that it makes the game not fun a week after its release. Here is how I see it; a man walks into my house and says "Your house is dirty." Now its my house and I can do what I want with it. I have two ways to respond to this; one way is the responsible way. I say "Yes my house is dirty and I will try to clean it." Now my second response is "How about you get out of my house you stupid scum bag my house if perfectly fine the way it is." Do you see the difference? I could take responsibility for my house and clean it or completely deny that my house is dirty and tell them to shut up. Now Epic picked the second response by banning me for talking bad about their game when every body knows that I am right. If you want to see my ten reasons of why Gears of War 2 is not a good game check out my profile and I should have it up. Thank you for reading.

lol I got banned from those forums because I said cliffy B and his whole programming team should microwave some butter for 8 mintues then stick their wangs in it... lol I concluded by saying it would be their just desserts. It was totally worth it, because this was only said after I wrote down a list of stupid programming mistakes that even a programmer at the highschool level would not make.
I guess epic games really doesnt like the truth.

lmao

It IS their forum, but they should have at least gave you a warning for dissing them and their game. Everyone has their own opinion and you should be free to express it even though it sucks. Gears series (especially Gears 2) RULEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As much as I dislike Gears 2, I say they were right to ban you because you said that your selling Gears 2 so there's really no point in you still being on their forums

You went to a forum about a game and complained about it. Hmm...I think there's a word for this sort of behavior.

...a man walks into my house and says "Your house is dirty." Now its my house and I can do what I want with it. I have two ways to respond to this; one way is the responsible way. I say "Yes my house is dirty and I will try to clean it." Now my second response is "How about you get out of my house you stupid scum bag my house if perfectly fine the way it is."

LOL, I'm sure that's how you would react when someone wanders into your house and tells you it's dirty.

:lol: just move on....if you dont like gears then you shouldnt be on there forums.

Man TC next time try to seperate your paragraphs a little bit, it helps us read it better than it looking like garbled words. But I do agree with everything you said. I made several accounts and got banned every single time for voicing issues, concerns and things of that nature in a very coherent RESPECTUL way and got insulted by Epics fanboys who troll the forums looking to defend Gears 2 and Epic at all cost. End result...I got banned!

I don't even visit there forums anymore, I just stick with Gamespot, at least you can insult Gamespot and you don't get banned. I always thought the mods here on these forums were crazy but that's definitely not the case after visiting Epics forums for a week, if you can last that long.

They were right to ban you for spamming for all they know you are just some PS3 fanboy causing troble and flaming.

Really honestly if you dislike a game its quite useless trying to discourage peop from buying it on the developers own turf. They are there to sell as many copies as possible and not to field complaints of disastified gamers.

Like said before, if you have a problem with a game, come here to vent. No one can touch you unless you are being profane or just being a big whiner.

You can say Galega has better graphics than Call of Duty on here, and I doubt it will get shut down.

so your whinging on their forums and they are the baby? uhuh nice wall of text thoughchaoscougar1

Exactly

Too many people think they have too many rights to do whatever they want

Sounds like you deserved it. And if a random person person who I had never seen walked into my house to tell me how it looked, I'd tell him to get the **** out.Englando_IV

Wow, all you guys who are saying that "he deserved it" really cant take a little constructive criticism can you?

The house analogy being used here is a little extreme. I would consider it more like a random guy at a press conference and starts criticising the product being shown. Will they throw him out if hes not being derogatory or abusive to anyone? Of course they wont.

So to all of you who are saying that he deserved it, youre all as big of babies as EPIC is.

Well, if you're done with GOW2 then you are done with the forum. That's why they banned you.timmy0890

So if I make a comment saying I am done with gamespot, do you think they will ban my account?

I dont think so.

why you need to go to Epics forum to mention selling the game...does it make you feel special and importantl? sad man...move on

You act right or you get out

This person thought he had rights to do whatever he wanted and he was wrong

He had no rights at all

I dont think so.

But he mentioned selling there game for another one. you think gamespot would allow someone to constantly bash them and then advertise another website to go to?

Constantly bash them? If I made one comment saying I am unhappy with gamespot and going to a competitor and named that competitor, they wont ban me.

he didnt make one comment. he made 2 threads on what sucked about the game and gave 10 reasons why GEARS sucks and then said he was selling it for Wet. going to Epics website to say your selling there product for another product has no place there.

WHY?!

All you are doing is voicing your opinion on your experience with the game. If I paid good money for this game, and I am unhappy with it, youre damn right if I have an outlet to tell you that your game was bad I will voice my opinion and make sure you know about it!

For all you poeple who think I was wrong go to my profile and look at the list because I have the list up there plus more

In all fairness, I'd ban you from my forum if I saw you flaming it...

Which I won't mention the name of, otherwise I will be banned like I've been threatened...

Epic just didn't give him a warning, and the reason he was banned "bye".. Childish, pure childish behaviour

I have no problem with the critisizm. developers are even cool with it. He was allowed to do it on the first thread. He went too far with saying he's going to sell the game for another better game. Its bad business for Epic. If I owned a store and someone came to my website and said another store or product was better I would ban them too. why would I allow advertising for another store on my site?

If you made the game better, then people wouldnt have to comment the way he did. Clearly here you can see he is not the only one who has this opinion, hes just the only one who cared enough, or had the *stones* to say it for people to see. If you cant handle people bashing your game, then dont bring it out. People always talk about "im going to *insert competitor here*" all the time. Go to any retail store where someone has a complaint and you will hear that. Do they get banned from the store? Of course not. Why? Thats even worse PR than letting the person speak his piece.

I was starting to agree you shouldnt of been banned untill I actually read what you said:

the game has become crap. This game is an Epic fail. (pun intended)

You deserved it.

Just a note I like Gears 2 better now than when it came out.

I never said you cant have an opinion. Epic has a right to ban anyone from there site that posts material not relevant to discussing Gear and promoting another product. yeah you can go mcdonalds an say they suck but mcdonalds doesnt have to allow anyone to stand in the store with a sign promotoing another store.

you are probably like it better now rather then when it first came out because now you can be more of a noob and get more cheap kills

It's harder to kill now when it first came out chainsaw was unstoppable before the updates also smokes don't knock you down anymore.

the chainsaw hasn't changed at all from when I get chainsawed and the smokes are worse now they make you cringe no matter what you are doing which is worse. In the beginning if you fell down you could get blown away from the opponent or just be a harder target, but now its a full standing target for everybody to shoot. So yeah the smokes (aka stuns) have gotten worse since the beginning

Being knocked to the floor lasted longer than getting stuned also you had to get up that made you more vunarable, you can stop a revved chainsaw in 1 shot now and they can't revv again for a few seconds, when the game first came out you hardly ever got stopped and even if you did you could revv it up again also it dragged further.

Lol, that was dumb of you. OH NO! DON'T BAN ME!:o

Why are you even posting this in the forums? It's not really that big a deal. You bagged on GOW2, so they did what needed to be done.

BTW the Gears series was boring IMO.

I can shoot somebody with the chainsaw revved and they still chainsaw me after they get shot and I can remember countless times when I get blown down by a smoke and I rolled away from my attaker and it saved me. Then on the other hand when I get hit by smoke and I stick out like a sour thumb and everybody can see me, I get shot and go down, then shortly afterwards I die. I the chainsaw has a lunge, so they don't even have to be that close to you and they lunge and get you. I know there is a lunge cause I have used it once and I lunged towards them and chainsawed the guy.

You know, you can't really call it 'criticism', if all you say is "the smokes suck". That's not criticism, that's trolling. If you said, "the smokes need work, instead of (insert effect here), it should do (instert alternative effect here)". That would have probably been more acceptable.

And going on to someone's home turf and saying their game sucks and going to get a better one? Hell YES you should get banned. If I were to a go to a football game in New York, crowded with Giants fans, and I decide to plant myself between 3 of them, and I say "GIANTS SUCK! GO PATRIOTS!" I would get my ass handed to me. Even worse, I might get killed.

It's the same scenario. Bottom line: you deserve it. Besides, it's already been done, so complaining about it here on Gamespot, is really useless, because it's not like you're going to be unbanned just because you decide to drag on something that should have been finished then and there.

hey how bout you just leave. If you don't care about it then just don't post replies and go talk somewhere else. I posted it up there and people are responding. Also your statment is wrong, I didn't care that they banned me and I don't care that they did. I am surprised that they did and think they are pathetic for not being able to take my critiscim.

If you seriously think chainsaw is as easy to get kills with as when it first came out you have some issues to work out.
