Maybe because we feel Gears 2 will be better? Your statement is like saying that the longer the game, the better it will be, and that's just not the case.

I reckon I'll spend just as much time on Gears 2 as I will with Fallout 3 and Fable 2. If the multiplayer is anywhere near as good as in Gears 1, then I will be on it for months."

It's not all about length, and that's not what im saying, it's about how much gameplay the game has, and I cannot really see Gears 2 having anywhere near as much gameplay per square foot as Fable 2 or Fallout 3."

I beat Fable 2 in a week and never touched it again but I'm still playing Gears of War. I'm predicting the same situation for Fable 2 and Gears of War 2."

Truly? I am assuming you have not really looked into Fable 2 much from that post alone. Almost like you don't know about the game at all if you are comparing it to your time played in Fable 1."

Fable 2 is on my list of must games to buy this year and I've read about it alot but I'm still more hyped for Gears of War 2. It all depends on the person dude."

So if you could only buy ONE of the three it would be Gears 2? Really? O_O!"

Well duh. What's so shocking about that? I know way more people that are hyped for Gears 2 than people that are hyped for Fable 2."

Because one you can have fun with for infinite longer then the other... I'm not saying Gears 2 won't be awesome, but the others, mainly Fallout 3, will last you a LONG time with great fun, so when you can only get one, how can you buy the one that won't last as long as the others? That's just me though. :P"

easily fallout 3

Wow Sentry is retarded sometimes, who are you to say that Fable 2 and Fallout 3 will last BluMagic longer? Seriously go away.

Gears 2, if i only had a 360:(

"Wow Sentry is retarded sometimes, who are you to say that Fable 2 and Fallout 3 will last BluMagic longer? Seriously go away."

Gears 2 because only one with multiplayer but I will get the others eventually but no rush to get them since I can experience single player game at any time I want.

Fable 2, because it's the only game on that list with color in it.

Out of those 3?

Gears 2 easily. Is that even a question?

"Wow Sentry is retarded sometimes, who are you to say that Fable 2 and Fallout 3 will last BluMagic longer? Seriously go away."

    Fallout 3.

Dude, where did I say it wouldn't? I was just saying the other two offer more gameplay, IMO, and I couldn't see someone getting Gears 2 over the others if they could only get ONE. Seriously why so serious? Why do you read something and not really think about what it means?

It all comes down to opinion, I was wondering WHY his opinion was what it was, not trying to say he is wrong at all."

You said that fallout 3 would last me infinite more longer than Gears 2 would which is what Subway was referring to. I think you should really read his post and think about what it means."

I said it HAS infinite amount more of gameplay, which is fact, I did not say you would spend more time on it then any other game 100%, because that is personal preference."

Lets see. Fallout 3 100+ hours of gameplay. gears of war 2 10 hours 15 tops. Fallout 3 looks awesome!"

Fable 2. I'm interested in Fallout 3, but couldnt really give a damn about Gears 2.

Fallout 3, for sure. I loved Oblivion and I was stoked to hear that Bethesda was working on the next Fallout game. Gears of War 2 still looks awesome and I'm not interested at all in Fable 2.

Gears Of War 2. Deffinately.

Not interested in Fable and Fallout 3 is still banned (as of posting) in Australia and im not into the whole importing scene.

It is a tie between Fallout 3 and Fable, for me. I'll likely get gears 2 eventually, it isn't a priority, though.
Anyways, Fable and Fallout both look like a blast and will eat up my entire break this semester.

Well the first Fable was great (mainly because I didn't know of any of the hype behind it, so there was no disappointment to be had), and Gears of War was a great game that I really enjoyed. However the original Fallout is so incredible, that I'd even rate it above Deus Ex. If Fallout 3 is anywhere near the quality of the original Fallout, I'm all in. They are all must buys for me anyway.

Gears of War 2 is supposedly going to be "bigger, better, and more badass," but when I think of my issues with the original GeOW, that's not what it comes to mind.  How about an epic story and telling me why I was on the goddamn train? And that bomb set off at the end appears to have accomplished nothing?

Yeah, I remember the original GeOW.  The multiplayer had horrible lag and was incredibly unbalanced.  Not to mention the whole "die instantly if you go into the darkness" deal in the campaign.  What was up with that?  If you don't want me to explore the level, (which can only be because your game really isn't that good) at least come up with something better than that.  And don't get me started on the story..."

The lag is dependent on the host's connection. It would be your fault for joining under a 3bar connection. It was the first game of its kind so obviously it will have glitches. As for being unbalanced, that is an excuse noobs use when they suck at using the shotgun. The next game promises to correct those indefinitely. 'not going into darkness'  was a gaming mechanic used for 1-2 levels. All the rest of the levels you can. If you want to explore a world in a game go play oblivion. "

Hmmm, I'm definitely pickin' up all three titles. But at the moment, Fable 2 is what I'm looking forward to the most.
Gears of War 2 looks incredible, I know for a solid fact, I'll love that game. Fallout 3, well, never played a Fallout game, but the videos & interviews & what not make me very, very interested in it. Without a doubt, getting all three titles.
And, honestly probably will enjoy all three, or so I think.

why not all three? If I had to choose ugh Fable 2

have no interest in fable what so ever, probably just give it a rent eventually, but Fallout 3 first, and Gears 2 second...but I'll own both of them so its not a this or that for me.

"have no interest in fable what so ever, probably just give it a rent eventually, but Fallout 3 first, and Gears 2 second...but I'll own both of them so its not a this or that for me."

I've never even played a Fallout Game and I'm looking forward to Fallout 3 the most. (Yes I know its different than the typical fallout game, so don't flame me fallout fanboys)

i'm most looking forward to fable 2. For some reason i can't seem to care about gears 2 it looks too much like the first one 

i will buy all 3, they are a must for any gamer

Same, I don't know what it is, Fable just looks odd."

Fable  or Gears. Fallout 3 has not thrilled me at all. Fallout doesn't seem to be focusing on the RPG side of the game. They really only seem to care about how gory it is when you kill people. Fable looks like they took their time on it, and are really perfecting it, and Gears will be Gears...Awesome. Probably Fable though. I would throw Far Cry 2 in the mix that looks pretty awesome.

"I can't really see someone saying Gears 2 > Fallout 3/Fable 2. It has no where near as much gameplay as Fable or Fallout does. It is going to be great, but would you really spend money on it over the other two? :\"

I do feel like Gears 2 will be an amazing game, but my excitement level just isn't very high for it for some reason.  Maybe because it's another sequel that's more of the same.  But then again Gears 1 was awesome and this is a big upgrade, so i don't know i guess i've just got too many games coming that i'm more excited about.  I can't stop playin Soul Calibur IV, then there's Too Human, Bangai-O Spirits, Fallout 3, Fable 2 (which i've decided recently to give it a shot), Kirby Superstar DS, and the list goes on and on. 

I going with Gears 2, noting against fallout 3 or fable 2...those games are going to rock.

And finally the bolded part.  Just because it promises to correct the bugs, doesn't mean it will.  Developers have a habit of over promising what they can do, and then running out of time trying to do it.  The bugs were everywhere, and they shouldn't have been.  This wasn't the first FPS ever, it wasn't even the first FPS with cover, or the first one on a console.... they should have avoided the majority of the glitches.

Except for the fact that even games with a three bar connection had tons of lag.  And don't excuse the glitches by saying it was the first game of it's kind.  It wasn't.  Sure it made some innovations with the cover system, but there were FPS's before it, and *gasp* some of them had cover systems too.  And "excuse noobs use when they suck at shotgun"?  What?  How does one suck at using a shotgun.  I could use the shotgun just fine.  The problem arose when two, maybe three of the weapons were the only useful ones. 

As for exploring a world.  That isn't what I was referring to exactly.  I was referring to the fact that other FPS games will have multiple pathways, or even something in the way so you can't explore, be it a building, mountain, wreckage, what have you.  It isn't just some amorphous darkness that you can't walk through for some reason.

Fable looks odd?  How?  It's just an RPG game.  Granted, it is one with a more open-ended story and good/evil mechanic, but besides that it's just an RPG game.

LOL, where did I say you should never? I said IMO it's kind of weird to buy Gears over the other two, since the Fable 2 and Fallout 3 have a lot more mileage IMO. Again, that's just my opinion, which was why I was asking him why he would want Gears over the other two. It's not about quality or quantity, since all three of these games have plenty from both sides, but again IMO Gears 2 won't last me as long as Fable 2. That's just me though, im not saying you are wrong for thinking the opposite, I was asking WHY you thought the opposite.

Funny how people react so defensively lmao. I'm going to be playing all three for months and months to come anyways, so I couldn't care less about bashing on or the other, that doesn't matter to me.

PS- nice gif LMAO!

They are look sick.  I prefer Fable 2

"I rather play a great short campaign then a mediocre drawn out long campaign.

Im looking forward to Gears of War 2 the most.

FALLOUT 3!!!!

I'm gonna have to go with Fable 2. I enjoyed the original Fable (not too much though) and I want some more. Gears of war feels like it just came out 2 months ago and I didn't care for the multiplayer. Fallout doesn't interest me too much. I like what Fable 2 has so far.

How could I choose between those.  Really I think they all are tipping the scale on my excitment level.  I'll be getting all of them so it doesn't really matter.

GOW2, the first one was a blast can't wait for # 2.

Tought one, but I would prolly go with Fallout 3.

Tied between Fable 2 and Fallout 3
