This game constitutes it's own thread. It's violent, it's bloody, it's bad ass.
I haven't seen even one negative comment about this game.
That's because it's bad ass. I usually don't stray from the sports genre too much, but once in awhile something comes out that really piques my interest. GoW is such a game.
I hear it was over-hyped and Call of Duty 3 is better
I bet CoD 3 is just as good as GoW, it depends on what kind of war games you prefer.Quote:

This game plays out like a Cinematic movie, the characters are fucking hilarious. The commentary between your squad is great as you go through the game.
Only problem is its a bit short I hear, I'll let you know when I beat it.
Plus, there's this great sense of satisfaction when a guy is laying in front of you, almost dead, then taking the chainsaw to him to finish him off.
Or curb stomping them...
Shooting games are repetitive, boring, and frustrating, but this game is getting amazing reviews. I may rent it once.
Yeah, the buzz about this one is crazy. I'm definitely buying.
Let me tell everyone right now, it is worth every penny.
GREAT GAME

THIS GAME IS FLAT OUT AMAAAAAAAAAAAAZING!!!!!!!! I can not say enough about it. The hype train is not off track with this one. I bought it the first day it came out and popped it in.
Moodini and I checked it out and I thought it was "good." I was playing single player. From what I understand, as you get more into it, it gets ridiculously better. But, I wasn't sure it was worth my $60. I was a minute away from making the worst video game decision of my life. I thought about trading it in for a different game.
Before I did, I went to gamerankings.com to check it out more. I read reviews that were just unreal. I asked myself, "What am I missing about this game?" It just didn't seem as good as people were making it out to be. So I decided to pop it in online and play it online for the first time. OOOOOOOOOOH BABY BITCH! I was absolutely hooked and left Moodini about 6 annoying hype messages while checking it out. It is flat out unreal online and sooo addicting.
This game is creeping up the charts and it has a chance to make my All Time list already. Before I popped it in yesterday, I watched an MTV special about the game. I've never seen more hype for a video game. One dude actually got a Gears of War tatoo on his freaking arm!
If you don't have it, but it now and get online!
It's a shame you don't like the single player game, sure it's light on story. But the game plays like a movie, and it never got boring.
I just started playing it because I purchased it last night - so far so good. Amazing graphics, fun gameplay.
I prefer the real life WWII type shooters, so I will roll with COD 3. I will check it out however just because of the hype it's receiving.
It's really good, grapically it's probably the best game ever made and it feels like you're playing a movie. But I don't think it's the "system seller" that most people are making it out to be. Keep in mind, I haven't seen the online play yet, and I've been known to not be a big fan of "shooter games".
These just get so damn repetitive, I seriously have killed 3,000,000,000 Nazis in the last 5 years.Quote:

I figured I would mention on here that it looks like a couple of us from my site will be getting together at around 11 tonight to get some online action in. If anyone is interested, let me know.
Trust me playa, when you see it online this week....you will get a whole new experience. Flat out amazing!Quote:

94.9% on Gamerankings.com (a website which compiles all review ratings and makes an average)
That makes GOW the #1 360 game and the #14 Video Game of All Time All Systems included.
This will be one of those games we'll look back on years from now as a straight up CLASSIC.
The game is reeeeeeeealy frickin' good.[smilie=great.gif]Quote:

It's reeeeally good, but I'm still deciding. I'm not sure if I want to drop 60 bucks on a game where all you do is shoot, when I'm not really a "shooter guy".Quote:

COD 3 has been a bit of a disappointment as well, but i still would take that anyday over killing weird aliens and your only move being hiding behind something...
I would have to say all in all, that is a pretty bad analysis of GOW, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion.Quote:

Debate the analysis then...what makes it so good besides the fact that you are not killing nazi's.
Well number 1, the graphics are sick. The players movements are so smooth and the enemies are very intelligent, and their movements are incredibly realistic.Quote:

number 3, the weapons, all are pretty basic, but things like the torque bow, magnum revolver, and hammer of dawn make this game even more sweet.
I know the cover aspect is difficult to get used to, but its clear that you can't stand in the open and take bullets to the chest like a man like you can in first person shooters. blindfiring is sweet, and the game is very realistic about taking cover, flanking enemies, using grenades to flush people out, and all that good stuff.
I'll give this game 9.4 out of 10.
This game is like crack! I thought the single player mode was the perfect length at about 12-14 hours. To truly enjoy this game, play the whole game through on co-op over live with one of your friends. This game was setup with this in mind. I am having a lot of fun with this game. I beat it on casual, and I'm now going back through it and playing it on hardcore. I'm at ACT 5 now on there. As far as the online goes though, I'm liking it alot but not nearly as much as I'm enjoying Rainbow 6 online. Gears of War like previously mentioned is an instant classic.
I'm just getting started on GOW. I think all the talk about it made it a little disapointing for me. Its sick, no doubt, but it seems to be a lot of things are just migrations from SC. SC is 1 and 2 are still my favs. Maybe gow will grow on me.
And what really sucks is that I'm in the factory, fall through the floor and keep getting killed by those pesky little bastards. I'm going in with 350 rounds of machine gun ammo and haven't been able to get passed this for an hour.
Ah, yes, that part. Actually, you can't just go straight ahead. You can kind of see where the weak spots are in the floor, the floorboards look a bit different.Quote:
