Online community is horrible, its almost impossible to have decent conversation with players.Host with weapons is the obvious and makes the game totally unbalanced.Shotgun fights over and over again.Sad lil kids swearing which is not cool whatsoever.

 

Post your comments bud to support the arguements.Sigh I know fanboys will rage this thread it always happen.

The online gaming got really old in a hurry but I still liked the overall game.  I still traded it in once I beat all the difficulties though.

Yeah, the online multiplayer for Gears is so boring after a while. I only play it because everyone else does and I enjoy the banter with the people I play regularly with.

I enjoy playing gears with friends only but either than that i barely play on my own because of all bullet lag, host advantage, shotgun fest, and the community which can be horrible at times.

I do not really like the GeOW online community.. but I play with my roomate and about 6-8 guys we have met that are good guys. So we all just play together so it makes it good.  The game is semi-shotgun dominated but i still wouldnt trade it in... but Mass Effect, Assassin Creed an GTA IV havent come out yet. :)

My reasons for trading the game in months ago:

- short single player mode that gives you little reason to play through multiple times.

- online multiplayer is ultra repetitive and severly lacking in content

- level design for said multiplayer is uninspired and far too linear

- the growing mass of douchebags in uninspired and lackluster multiplayer. 

- the unholy amount of glitches and bugs (especially in multiplayer)

- I got Rainbow Six Vegas

My reasons for trading it in: I hated it and I had a 50% bonus on trade-ins, so I got 45 bucks for GoW.

That is an OPINION. I feel quite the opposite. I actually feel that it's a terribly overrated, underdelivering game.

No one should ever trade in an instant classic and gears is one of them.

That's about where I'm at. Still a fantastic game that I could see myself pulling out for years to come to play coop with a friend.

Reasons to not trade in Gears of War:

1. You have a job, and a decent income.

the most annoying part of this game is that you chainsaw someone bum rushing you with a shot gun... and they say, "using the chain saw is lame".... yet you ran in like a fool with a shotgun? I refuse to use the shotgun...it ruins the game.

Reason to NOT trade it in: getting raped by EB/Gamestop for it.

I don't care much for Gears' online and think it's not only overrated, but I think it's ALL hype. There's virtually nothing there for me. However -- let me finish! -- despite the fact that I agree with the sentiment, I think that this thread is pointless... almost a cry for attention from the Gears zealots and general loose cannons.

You can go trade it in yourself, but nobody cares if you do or don't but don't litter the boards with trashing other games

 hmmmm repetetive eh? not like, say a rainbow six match where the other team crowds your spawn....go to spawn exiy 1....get sniped....go to spawn exit 2.....get blown up by C4.....go to spawn exit 1.....get sniped

at least gears has items you can pick up and collect, as well as varied enemies and locations. vegas campaign was pretty much: 'oh yay another room full of terrorists' and 'oh goody, my team has to hack a computer again'

I have Gears of War and I hate it. For all the same reasons that other people have posted in this thread (boring, etc). I'd trade it in if I didn't have the urge to have a big stack of games to show off.

Some people just genuinely don't like it. Some people genuinely think it sucks.

I think if people like something and can be fair about it, and if people don't like something and can be fair about it, fine let's have a discussion. But then some people just want other people to "STFU" if they don't like what they like and that' just unacceptable. If we have to hear people go on and on and on and on and on about how Gears is a landmark shooter (it isn't) or has the best multiplayer ever (it doesn't) or is just simply a great game (debateable) or that it has the greatest graphics EVER (it's up there, if not #1 for that), then we should be able to hear the other side.

I appreciate that you suck at Rainbow Six but still respect it's a good game. I feel the same way about a lot of games. I go into a lot of online games and get smoked because I don't have the time to devote to them anymore (compared to some, anyway). But I genuinely think the MP in Gears is repetitive. Do I suck at it? Sure! But I suck at a lot of games that I still play (DOA4, Rainbow Six, GEOMETRY WARS) or at least respect. That's what it's about -- RESPECT. People shouldn't belittle other people because they don't like what they like. And if they do, then screw them.

I dont think it has the best multiplayer, and I dont think its a landmark either. I just find it very enjoyable(hence me having seriously). I respect all of the points you brought up they are valid, I just feelthat its a great game and got the score it deserved, and I also say its overated (people praise the game like the pope). So to end this post im going to copy and paste your most valid point homie Mad respect dog.

 That's what it's about -- RESPECT. People shouldn't belittle other people because they don't like what they like. And if they do, then screw them.

Online community is horrible, its almost impossible to have decent conversation with players.Host with weapons is the obvious and makes the game totally unbalanced.Shotgun fights over and over again.Sad lil kids swearing which is not cool whatsoever.

 

Post your comments bud to support the arguements.Sigh I know fanboys will rage this thread it always happen.

The title shouldn't be "Reasons to trade in Gears of War", but instead it should be "How to trade in Gears of War? (for anything that's not below 40 bucks)"

ur choice but dont come crawling back because all the time you spent playing it has to be put into another game....and what might that be???(shooter) and no halo isnt out
