"I'd rather have Wii Music representing the video games industry than Gears of War. Go ahaed, show both games to the average consumer, and ask him which of the two is "ridiculous" and a "disgrace" to it's media platform.'
---A gamer would say Gears of War and a non gamer would say wii music. That's what the TC is trying to say.  I can't kill locust with a chainsaw bayonet in real life , but i can learn to play an instrument.

Burnout is by far the best racing game out there ( people could argue Forza 2 and motorstorm ) so I guess I'll agree with you. I wouldn't call this a debate at all its just two fanboys going at it with no open-mindedness towards the other persons viewpoint. Don't get me wrong Nintendo sucks the big one , but don't call this a debate.

"Two piece, chainsaw,smoke grenade.....all terribly implemented in the online component of GoW 2. There better be a fucking patch... I understand they wanted to make the game more than just shotgun fights but jesus. Firing from the hip with the shotgun is next to useless and for some reason EPIC decided to take out stuns from gunfire so any jerkoff with a Lancer can hold b and chainsaw you without consequence making close range fighting a piss poor aspect of the game(stuns may occur randomly but will only stun you for around .5 seconds). On top of that they use the truskill ranking system which grades performance on a bell curve. Example... Tonysuckballs with a kill/death of 1.0 or lower can have a high rank just because he plays with people who win alot ; basically equivalent to being powerleveled in a mmo. Just felt a need to vent because they really gave die hard gow fans the shaft on this one and  wanted to get other Gow1 players takes on this shit  because I know i'm not the only one bothered by this."

I'm really tired of people who suck at GoW2 complaining about the game. The reason most of this was implemented was because they didn't want it to be a shotgun battle. Therefore old tactics won't work. You can't just run up with shotty and pop them anymore. You have to be MORE TACTICAL.  You have to know that lancer lowering sucks (i agree with you there) but you still just have to adjust and learn to deal with it. Why not just pop him with the shotty when he comes in with chainsaw??? I know shotty go toned down but that is still lethal. I think the changes were very affective and accomplished epics goal of making a better XBL game."

Well I guess I'm a fucking moron and never thought of those overly obvious answers.... thanks for the criticism but the "adapt or die" excuse is terrible. I play Gears of War for the intense close range fighting not the boring lancer/cover method. By patching the smoke grenade I meant I thought  they should just stun you not knock you on your ass making certain maps easy as fuck to camp. The reason I complain about the two piece is because in the first game you at least had time to shoot after the melee, but for some reason they decided to remove that making the two piece the most effective/cheap aspect of the game.  When you are in a shotgun fight you are always close enough for the two piece ,but in the last game atleast you could pop a shot off and kill the guy. As to the firing from the hip wouldn't be accurate argument ; maybe it wouldn't but the bullets wouldn't shoot straight to the fucking ground. Another flaw in that argument is that nearly everything in this game is not realistic. If a guy can chainsaw someone in a second flat I think he could shoot from the hip somewhat accurately. I did not intend to "annoy" you I guess I just don't troll forums as much as you do defending a point that is easy to defend. "They made the game the way they wanted to" .. really ? that's a fucking shocker I thought they made it the way they didn't want to. The only reason I'm bitching about this is because I like the game I really do, but I think it would be great if they made a few changes.

terrible? discuss...

why do these demos not go live? the gaming industry could destroy all these bullshit video game websites if they just gave the people who actually buy the games the demos......Another retarted facet of capitalist life.

Guitar hero just fucking die already!!! seriously RB is miles ahead of that piece of shit game ,but people still blow cash on it.......

edit: I also whole-heartedly agree with coldbrand... if its the same fucking engine its the same fucking game... talk about a cash in,,, if you buy shit like this you are part of the problem that is Activision.

how is the multiplayer in this game? I hear that there aren't persistant characters? is this true?
