[QUOTE="AkimboBFGNinja"][QUOTE="1stPlaceWinner"]true, and after what I've seen at E3 not even Gears is exciting me, besides multiplats and Halo, Gears and Forza there's not much to keep the 360 for.Darth_DuMas

Gears 1 does show its age but gears 2 was a vast upgrade and Gears 3 seems even better, Now I am not really talking from a multiplayer standpoint but from the single player. The story has gotten deeper and each character is more personal. if youve played the first 2 games I would highly recommend reading Jacinto's Remnant and Anvil Gate as they are great books and really delve deeper into each character. Gears Universe really has a rich history. Also a plus the Writer who wrote the books is also doing the screen writing/ script for Gears 3. I far too invested into the story and characters to not be excited.

Is the single player buddy AI better in gears 2? Because on hardcore of gears 1, it seems to be dumb as a brick.

HAHAHA yeah the AI is pretty bad in gears 1, the AI is improved more like if a guy gets downed carmine or Dom will go pick the NPC up. There are still issues but it is an improvement. You should definitely pick the game up or at least rent it. There are some crazy things that happen in Gears 2, and that really got me into the universe, especially with the 3 books that bridge the gap between gears 2 and 3. Ive read 2 out of the 3 and they are great. I would highly recommend playing gears 2 for the story. Multiplayer is buggy and has problems i would avoid that. Gears 3 seems like it really has improved the multiplayer by an exponential level when i played the Beta back in May.

[QUOTE="AkimboBFGNinja"]First off, the summer is usually a dead zone in terms of big game releases with Summer of arcade and Deus Ex being the exceptions. Second, I love how people say that "OMG how can you survive not having games come out for a year!! or my favorite the 360 haz no gammmzz!!" So i guess that is why I went back and played Dead Space 2, Dragon Age 2, Shadows of the Damned and Fragged kids in Halo reach all summer. Yup gotta love it when people ignore perfectly good games just because they aren't exclusive.Darth_DuMas

Really annoying, then they release all the games in September and October and it drains my wallet dry :cry:.

Yeah my wallet is already pretty light and Gears comes out next month. I think the only game i will be buying for myself with my own money is gears 3 and the rest like skyrim will be on the Christmas list LOL. I hate being a college student, all the money I have goes towards tuition lol.

[QUOTE="MathMattS"]

I think the 360 has had a great year: Dead Space 2, Homefront, LA Noire, and Crysis 2. There are lots of upcoming titles: Assassin's Creed: Revelations, Modern Warfare 3, Battlefield 3, Batman: Arkham City, Mass Effect 3, and more.

Lionheart08

I think the issue though is he can play every single one of those games on his PS3. Not trying to downplay multiplats, but 360's current game output has been a pretty big issue for the past few years. It seems now that they turned their attention to Kinect, Microsoft only cares about releasing their big franchises every other year "Forza, Gears of War, Halo, Fable."

That is definitely an Issue, I wish there were some more variety in terms of Exclusive titles for 360, I mean we've seen a Halo game every year since 2007 and it does get old, but Gears isn't a series that has a game coming out every year. And seeing that I only own one console I cant say that "oh well I can just play this multiplat on my PS3" because I only own one platform. People who are lucky to have 2 consoles or even 3 yes this is a problem for them, but for the vast majority of people that have one console and that one console being a 360 they have plenty of games to play and yes I mean multiplats. People seem to forget that not everyone has multiple consoles.

Wow, I'm sold, sorry Rage....psh like I was going to buy that anyway

I think Rage looks like the best FPS this year along with BF3.

I'm just really invested in the story and universe of Resistance, Rge looks great, I will pick it up when its cheaper.

Resistance is pretty unique, despite what the fanboys say that it COD/HALO/My little pony etc,

Well yes I might actually pick up a PS3 next year for this series actually, story seems interesting, Hopefully PS3 will be cheaper :)

lol messed that up :P

but i dont see the big thing on rage tho.....

To me rage looks more fluid and more polished than Resistance 3 does, multiplayer doesnt really look al that impressive either, maps look a bit stale.
