What you think about that statement?
I recently finished both the games with my friend on insane, and we thought the sequel was harder, especially the part where you get shot by mortars.
What is your opinion?
Gears of War 2
Game » consists of 13 releases. Released Nov 07, 2008
Join Delta Squad once more in the fight against the Locust Horde, in this "bigger, better and more badass" sequel to the 2006 smash hit.
GoW 2 harder then GoW 1?
never finished the first one on insane (didnt have live at the time). Finished the second one on insane with my friend and thought it was fairly easy when we got a feel for the difficulty (although he died alot more than me).
God I'm an idiot.
I was just about to click reply with a post about God of War 1 and 2's difficulty.
Ugh.
Although I never played Insane (at least not much), in Gears of War 2, I don't think it's harder to be honest. It's longer, and there are instances where you'll bound to die more than you'd like to. I've only play a few sections of Gears 2 on Insane, and I don't know if I'll be able to beat it by myself. Then again, I'm trying to go for the co-op achievements (eventually, and with a second controller idle).
I beat Gears 1 on Insane by myself, wasn't too hard.
Gears 2 is much, much easier there seemed to be a lot less places for the enemies to flank you... and they don't seem to blindly rush you as much as they did in the first game.
I cannot remember anything as tough in 2 as the parts where you ahd to avoid exploding wretches and of course RAAM
Insane isn't impossible. My experience is that their are certain tiny parts of the campaign are really annoying, meaning I would have to do that one part over and over because I kept dying.
both... were so uberly easy on inane.... i was so pissed when i beat gears 2 on insane, and realized that i hadn't recovered my gamertag and i didn't get the achievements...
" I thought GoW1 was harder because GoW2's cover system is 100% better. "I agree, and having better AI teammates in the sequel doesn't hurt either.
" @natetodamax said:The AI still sucked, but I guess it was better in a way." I thought GoW1 was harder because GoW2's cover system is 100% better. "I agree, and having better AI teammates in the sequel doesn't hurt either. "
Gears 1's difficulty was felt infinitely harder than 2's. (at least for me) Due mainly to the ability to crawl to your teammate as opposed to having them running out into the shit storm that downed you in the first place.
Even though I haven't played Gears of War in a long time, I found Gears of War 2 to be harder, but more enjoyable.
