When I first got GoW I started playing on Hardcore my first time around, then after I finished I started on Insane and the difference wasn't that big (I mean, it was easier the second time because I was used to the controlls) until I got to the final battle with Raam. Then I started playing R6, the first time I finished the game on normal, and then I started again at realistic and I was amazed with the difference. I mean, I just completed act 1 and I'm very impresed with the challenge. What do you people think?

Gears of War is an Arcade game.

Rainbow Six is a realistic FPS based on real-life.

You can't compare the two.

I'm not comparing the type of game, I'm just comparing the challenge to beat them.

Since Gears is much shorter and the gameplay is much easier.....

Anyways Rainbow is extremely hard on Realistic.

I had no trouble beating Gears on Insane, but I am still trying to beat Rainbow on Normal.

That game is hard!! :D

However it is sooo FUN!!

Vegas isn't really that hard on normal. And I'll grant you, Gears isn't too difficult on insane, just requires intelligence and patience. Same goes for Vegas on Realistic. Don't be Rambo and you'll be fine. Increased difficulties often mean being more tactical is all.

exactly, Ive finished both on insane and r6 i just went straight for realistic ( i love tactical shooters, especially ones where you dont take 1 million bullets to die). R6 is awesomely hard. but its just all patterns..if they randomized the locations and entry points of the enemy that game would have been 5 times harder on realistic then it is.

one main reason why rainbow is just an overall better game IMO. gears was so lame after i beat it on insane. rainbow was more of a challenge and i still play it, mad replay value

R6 on realistic is much harder than Geow insane... i'm not sure what it is exactly... it might be the lack of cover in a lot of areas, even if you're crouched up behind a wall, enemies can still kill you with one shot on your arm... it can get frustrating...

Rainbow Six: Vegas is much harder I think.  The fact that you can die easily in 1-2 shots make it very challenging on when to pop out of cover and shoot.  Also add that the enemies are very smart and do flank and throw grenades at you as well.

i think it's because gears doesnt have as many multiple pathways as R6...i mean, there's that occasional "left" or "right" path, but it's not enough to play more than twice...

rainbow on realistic was harder for me but it was twice as bad because I encountered the legend glitch and had to play through the whole game scene by scene. Some of those last scenes were quite a pain to pass in a single sitting on realistic.

Especially the part where you have to defend the computer at the end.  I think I died at that scene around 30 times.
