Gears of War

[3pac]

I'll be waiting for the PC port...

I'm sorry to hear that.

To each his own although the 360 is a PC without the interface of a useful OS outside of gaming and watching movies and such.

[Archangel Kid]

Oh I know. I'm a pc gamer also. I just really wouldn't want to wait for this game to come out for the PC. It's that good.

Hey, I'm a PC gamer too, but the value just isn't there. $3000+ for a computer with a 30" screen versus $400 for the Xbox 360 and I get to use my spare 42" HDTV. Sure, there are games that are only playable on the PC, but I can live without those for now. Racing games, GoW, and Star Trek: Legacy should keep me happy for now.

[Indignant]

I'm a PC gamer too, but I realized that my next rig was going to cost over $3000, and I only play one or two games. The value just wasn't there. So I bought a 360 and a few games. Gears is great, NFS is fun, and I'm looking forward to Star Trek legacy. PLUS, I was going to buy a HD DVD player, and you can get a 360 with the HD DVD add-on for only $100 more than an HD DVD player by itself.

What cames you playing lately on the ol' PC? I've really only been playing BF2 and BF2142, though my computer is so slow it makes playing BF2142 more like watching a slideshow.

the counterstrikes, day of deafeats, etc etc. my computer can't run BF2 well enough to keep me from ripping out my eyes, i just play it when i go the LAN center.

You know, I'll probably never know. Single player bores me to death in most games, I'm all about multiplayer.

ditto, but the single player on GOW is damn sweet. we beat the low difficulty in about a day with co-op.... it was excellent. the multiplayer is obviously much better though.

the game would be so much better if it was fps. also the blood sucks and when you shoto water there is no splashes and the bodys also dissapear alright game but i dont belive it lives up to all the hype

actually, we noticed exactly the opposite... the blood effects are amazing, same with water. the water effects are outstanding, actually. splashes are beautiful and the drops coming up even 'cause SMALLER drops when they land, something i've never seen in a game. it's excellent.

does anyone know what song is playing in the commercial?

[Steelrat]

It's a remake of Tears for Fears "Mad World." I believe the artist is Gary Jules. It was done for the movie "Donnie Darko."

So, the previews for this look amazing. It's a 3rd person shooter, right? Is it tactical like Ghost Recon or is it more of just a 3rd person run around and kill everything type like Call of Duty or Quake?

"Spare" 42'' HDTV.

Must be nice

It's a 3rd person shooter and kill everything. The storyline is amazing. I haven't even played it online yet it's so good.

The only bad part about the multiplayer is that you get 1 life per game... so dont die. I would say it's wery comparible to a quake 4 or Doom type of game... only 3rd person.

yea must be nice , ive got a 20+ year old 25 inch tv from sears.

[Thordic]

Theres tactics as well, to an extent. You need to use cover to your advantage, etc, or else you'll get owned quickly.

Closer to Ghost Recon than Quake. It's a blast! Definately not your typical "run and gun" fps shooter. Tactics like covering fire, surpression fire, flanking moves and such are necessary and useful. Use of cover is an integral part of the game, and if you try to run around solo like you were playing Doom, you'll get your butt handed to you.

As for the tv, once I upgraded to the 60" HDTV, the 42" was relegated to the basement. Good to have a use for it now
