Title: Gears of War
Post by: Smoke Break on November 06, 2006, 06:05:24 PM
  Anybody else gonna pick this up tomorrow? Well try to at least, I heard they are only releasing it in stores that specialize in video games the first day, so im outta luck if that's the case. But the game looks dope as fuck, and the multiplayer should be the shit.
  I think Call of Duty 3 drops tomorrow too damn.

Is this being sold out nationwide? I still don't know if I'm going to be spending money on more games. I berely play Madden now adays and I'm always busy with school and other shit. Can somebody tell me about the online gameplay? Does it lag and shit?

Why in the fuck did they release in video game stores only?  I could have had it today but Best Buy doesn't sell it till tomorrow.  I'm pissed!  The online co-op on campaign is gonna be awesome.  I can't wait to go through it with the homeys.

Hell yeah, finally picked this up today.  Came home for lunch, hollered at the homie and we played campaign co-op over XBL.  That shit was fucking awesome.  This game is so fucking dope.

I haven't played the multiplayer yet, but the online co-op is so awesome.  There's several parts in the game thus far that you can tell were planned ideally for co-op.  For instance, there are alternate routes to take through levels, there are several parts in levels that one person must operate some machinery so that the other player can pass and so on...

The graphics are fuckin amazing.  I've got my 360 hooked up to a regular ass jank tv and it looked sick, but check this:  I went to Wal Mart today and bought a generic ass HD LCD TV for $350 just because I wanted to see how sick the game looked (and i've needed one to game on anyway).  The sound is ass on the TV, but the game looks so sick. 

It's probably a bit of a knee jerk, but I'd say that this is the best game i've played for the 360.

Is the game easy? Seems like almost everyone beat the game.

^^^Casual is bit easy...but Hardcore and especially Insane are a bit of a challenge...you can't go shooting around without cover in Insane mode.
