Fallout 3, Fable 2, or Gears of War 2

Oh and Gears of War was a TPS. So technically you can say it was the first of its kind.

 It could have the same or more amount of gameplay, its called multiplayer buddy,

Multiplayer in Gears sucked.  So unless they changed it a ton, why would I want to play it.  Halo 2 had better multiplayer than Gears, and Halo 2 was incredibly unbalanced and full of cheaters....

God, how close minded are you? Quality > Quantity, and I believe Gears 2 will be better than both Fable 2 and Fallout 3.

Not really.  Those existed even before FPS's did.  Tomb Raider was an early TPS.  TPS games existed long before Gears came to categorize the genre.  So don't give me that bull.  "First of it's kind."  Yeah, right.  As much as GTA IV was the first of its kind....

And why should I take anything the developer says at face value.  I am critical of anything ANY developer says.  So I am fair to every game developed.  I just remember that Gears had many issues that made it not fun to me, so why would I want to play Gears 2 without a demo or rental to make SURE that the same issues don't exist..."

In the end, it comes down to what you believe.  Clearly, you are a Gears fanboy, and think that game was "tot4lly w1ck3d aw3som3!!11!!"  despite its myriad flaws.  Gears did not have much in the way of quality.  And I know for a fact that Fable 2 and Fallout 3 have predecessors that were fun to play and many people enjoyed.  Fable is still the third most played original XBOX game.  Gears has been bouncing around between 4th and 7th place in the top XBOX 360 games played each week.  That means about the same amount of people play Fable as play Gears.....  and Gears is newer, better (supposedly), and a shooter, which more people play....  clearly Fable was an awesome game on the XBOX and Fable 2 should do just as well....

"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!"

Fallout 3

So Fallout 3 and Fable 2 have mediocre campaigns? Lol... again I know what you mean, and im not saying your opinion is wrong. But I truly think some people are forgetting the epic scale of Fable and Fallout. Anyone remember Oblivion? People still play that game to this day. Fallout 3 is going to be even better then Oblivion, supposedly, which is why I am wondering, personally, how someone buy Gears 2 over Fallout 3 IF they could only get one of the two, ever. That's just my opinion, and again they are all going to be amazing games, so don't think that I am saying otherwise."

Gears 2

i vote for all 3

I'm not looking forward to any of them but if I must choose.. Fable 2. If it's coming to PC that is.

I never said they don't (ie Oblivion is far older), but there have been more hours clocked into Oblivion then Gears, and to say both offer the same amount of replayability is laughable to me."

Why is it laughable? Gears of War is still one of the top games being played on xbox live. Plus the amount of replaybility a game has depends on the person.

Oh and who are you to say more hours have been clocked in to Oblivion than Gears?

You just did! XD Are you SERIOUSLY debating with me that Gears has more replyability then Oblivion? I know you are a fan of the game, but there is a point where fan becomes fanboy. Understand that I know many people have played the game, for countless hours, but its fact that one has more replayability then the other, that said, im not saying that applies to every human on earth. How can Oblivion NOT have clocked more hours then Gears? It's illogical. Look at the sales of both, look at when they came out, its just funny that you are arguing that Gears has more replay value, generally speaking, then Oblivion.

Come on, don't be so stubborn."

im gonna have to go with fallout 3 because i dont have a xbox to play the other ones :'(

I WANTZ TEH GEARS OF WAR 2!!!!

 LOL, wow this forum is so ridiculous, I can state the exact same thing on any other forum, like NeoGAF for example, and there wouldn't be Gears fans saying what you guys are.

Gears has more replayability then Oblivion? Are you kidding me? Gears is an awesome game, but that doesn't mean you have to deny that it has less replayability then other games, come on. Just shows the community on this forum is made up of a lot of stubborn people who can't take a fact.

- out

gears 2.
 the rest is ass

I'm going to get all three, but Fallout 3 looks immediately more entertaining to me. Then it would be Gears and then then it would be Fable. For some reason I'm really cautious about Fable. I really liked the first Fable, but since E3 I've just had some nagging doubts.

That's the thing, you are, you ask questions, saying 'how'? Yet you claim your are not questioning the fact. If you know this as fact why were you debating it with me? And no, I didn't call anyone a fanboy- in the beginning, but as the conversation went on your resistance towards the fact, or anything 'against' Gears grew, and it showed, which makes me assume you are a fanboy of Gears.  :\"

You are contradicting yourself here. XD

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. "

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.

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.

I'm not saying the gaming mechanics were the first of its kind, i am saying it was the first major XBL gaming hit. Before Halo, Before COD4, before everything. they didn't have anything to look at and they were on a deadline. The game would have been delayed many months if a party system was to be implemented.

The game was on a STRICT time frame. They did not have enough time to polish the game and work out the kinks. If Gears 2 has as many bugs then you can bitch, because they have all the time in the world for this game. But Gears was a hastily made game and IMO it works well for being the first to do many unique things.

I don't understand how you can say it was unbalanced. Everyone has as just as much chance as killing another player as you. Maybe if opposite sides of the map had different weapons, then it would be unbalanced, but the game worked fine and I have no clue wtf you’re babbling about. Sure not all guns are useful, but that's the same way for Halo or COD, some guns are more useful, and used more often. The only gun that isn't useful is the Bulltog pistol and that's only in a couple of maps anyway. I use all of the other guns and they all work fine.

Bolded: Gears of War is a 3rd Person shooter smart one. As stated before they were on a strict time frame they only had a year and a half to make this. Gears 2 is running on a whole new engine this time around so there is a very limited chance of repeated glitches. They are optimizing the shit out of the engine so host will feel like nothing. Granted there still will be glitches, AS EVERY GAME HAS, Gears just has some more noticeable ones which really isn't the games fault. I agree they shouldn't have been in the game, but you can't expect them to take them out in that amount of time.

The only reason why there are so many glitches is because Gears is a game like no other. There are so many different and unique animations that happen with the character that sometimes you can manipulate the change in animation and crazy things happen. NO other game does this because there are not as many animation happening to the main character. Gears is one if not the most technically impressive game out right now. Gears 2 promises to refine all the mistakes in animation and if a glitch appears, which it inevitably will, you can be mature and look at it as no big deal, or you can sit and bitch at nothing.

GEARS OF WAR 2 FOR SURE

Fable 2

Fable and then Gears.
I don't care for Fallout because (I think) it looks awful :(

All of the above.

Fall out 3, if its anything like oblivion I will be more than happy

Ah so Tomb raider was a TPS that incorporated the cover mechanic and had an online multiplayer component?  That's what I meant when I said "first of it's kind" because I don't recall any TPS that had both.(before gears)

"Blu_Magic said:

No.  But there were TPS games before, as well as games that had cover mechanics (Rainbow Six, for one) and games with online multiplayer (Halo 2, for instance).  All Gears did was put them together.  Not a whole lot of (or any, really) innovation going on there."

I'm going to say Fable 2 despite my big interest in Fallout 3, only because I'm just tired of playing shooters. There are way too many of them, kind of like the saturation of Japanese RPG's on the PS2 post-FFVII. I need a good western RPG since Mass Effect.

Fallout 3.
