[QUOTE="Always-Honest"][QUOTE="Sn0wOn420"][QUOTE="medhopeful"] Gears of War isn't even that great of a game, so who cares? It is alot fun and, gotta give credit where credit is due, the system for ducking behind walls etc is pretty good, though not nearly as innovative as 360 users would like to think. Other than though, it is a very short with very boring weapons (chainsaw gun? please...it is cool like the first two times and besides that half the time it barely works). The story was hardly developed, though I will say in their defense it was intriguing; I expect they will develop it alot more in the second one. In my opinion, and I am trying to be as unbiased as possible, Resistance is the better game - better story, better weapons, and better graphics. I can hear people moaning about me saying better graphics already. The graphics of the two games are both great, but they are also two different styles of graphics. I just happen to prefer the style that Resistance used. Only thing that Gears might have on Resistance is the multiplayer, but I wouldn't know because I didn't get to play multiplayer on that, I am just basing that comment on what I heard. Even with that though, Resistance has great multiplayer.
In other words, be happy with what you have because you aren't missing out on much.

Oh you're just mad because you wont be playing the BEST GAME EVER on the 360 Obviously!!
you two are both a little over the edge.. gears is a must play game. imo it was the first true next gen console game and it was great.. best game ever... well, not mine, but i guess that's subjective.. Cover system was GREAT!! and the graphics were far more advanced than resistance (but how will Resistance 2 look??... probably fantastic.)
How am I over the edge? The graphics are great (for instance, the part where you are on the train and you look out the windows, the scenery there is amazing), but it is a different style than Resistance, which also has impressive graphics and its own great moments. Personally (and I said this was a matter of opinion), I prefer Resistance's grittier style. As for the cover system, I addressed that and we agree that it was great. However, you conveniently only discuss the two aspects of the game that are by far its best. You fail to discuss the horrible, boring weapons (a HUGE part of the game since it is a shooter), poorly developed story, and way too short gameplay. Those three things prevent me from labeling it a great game that has me salivating at the thought of a sequel. I just don't understand why everyone thinks its so great. Well, yeah, I do, it's because everyone wants Sony to fail miserably and 360 to succeed (the whole underdog thing I guess) so they jump on everything 360 does without thought or consideration.
AGAIN! NOT SAYING GEARS OF WAR IS A BAD GAME, FAR FROM IT, BUT ALSO FAR FROM BEING GREAT!!!
You forgot CO-OP. Made hell of a difference. No offence, I can understand why you love resistance, but IMO, it's average.
