Wow I literally laughed at that. That is mega horrible. I have to say it, KB was right.

Microsoft needs to get their act together and stop relying on Kinect, the hardcore gamers is what brought them success in the first place. Gears of War 3 is the only AAA title they have left and now they are just hyping Kinectimals and whatever. This is pathetic. I have no hope for the next Xbox. At least Sony is still catering to the hardcore audience with Move while pumping out AAA first-party exclusives.

QFT.

that is only glorified by Gears of War 3's delay.

i mean WTF, is Microsoft even trying? "yay a 360 slim!"

pin the ****ing topic.

Rikusaki

so they base it off how many people are posting?

:lol:

you would think they'd pin this for no other reason than because it's informative- but silly me, i'm trying to introduce logic to Gamespot. that's a no-no.

yes, you heard me right...overrated.

an 83 Metacritic rating? are you ****ing kidding me? after i played this i felt OBLIGATED to go back to a game with a more coherent story (from the constant melodrama) and non-repetitive gameplay (shine light, shoot, repeat, shine light, shoot, repeat).

any website that gave this game over an 8.5 need to be diagnosed ASAP for INSANITY.

pin the ****ing topic.

GOW 2 is easily the best in the series, I would still play GOW though, it's pretty good. kind of a chore to play through on some parts though.

Dead-Memories

as an overall experience, definitely. but it doesn't really demolish GOW1 or 3 in any specific category.

GOW3 par none had the best boss fights and combat of the series, and GOW1 had the best story. but as an overall package, i feel GOW2 is still the best.

well, imo,

in terms of Combat it goes: GOW3>GOW2>GOW1

Story: GOW1>GOW2>GOW3

Bosses: GOW3>GOW2>GOW1

so really, yeah, you wouldn't be missing much. it's a good game but you'll see the lack of refinement in combat, especially if you've already played God of War 3.

I don't think anyone's said they've liked it just because it's Castlevania :?.

LOS does have some unpolished bits, but I wouldn't say it's a garbled mess. Mercenaries 2 is a garbled mess.

Upparoom

if a convulted story constitutes as a "few unpolished bits" then that'd merit an accurate statement.

really, it makes no ****ing sense (especially the ending, spoiler?). there's various contradictions throughout the entire game, and the melodrama at times literally had me facepalming.

ew, it's a Bioware game.
