I personally believe that Gears of War 2 is one of the best games ever and that is why I decided to appreciate this well done  game by unlocking all the achievements . the achievements in this game are tougher than the first Gears but I personally love challenge nevertheless  .

AN EPIC GAME BY EPIC GAMES
AN EPIC GAME BY EPIC GAMES

Speak of challenge ; I have finally managed to finish Gears of War 2 on Insane mode . I admit that it was really challenging and even frustrating at some points but all and all it was a memorable experience . actually playing this game on insane mode is the most thrilling experience I have ever had this year . taking cover , shooting a round and taking cover again , knowing that you will die with 3 bullets no matter what !!!!!!!!!!  you ‘d LOVE your safe position and reliable cover even more .

these are all awesome moments that could only be achieved on insane mode .

How do we know that it is the best game ever? It probably won't be, but none of us probably know because we haven't played it. It sounds like from the way you are speaking about it that it will be great, but it won't be the greatest game ever.

I'm being so negative because November 7th isn't here yet.

So is okay to say that Gears 2 is the best game of the gen ?
Edit: You already answered that. Anyway what is the worst thing about Gears 2, and have you experienced any bullet lag while playing online ?

Honestly, I don't even think it is that. In my opinion, yes, Gears of War 2 will be great (and possibly Game of the Year), but you have to take into consideration what you are really saying. You are saying Gears of War 2 is better than any game before it. This means games such as OoT and Diablo II (just to name a few), and many more, are "inferior" (when it came to overall quality).

While it is OK to say you think it is the best game you have ever played, I think you just accidentally typed in "we already know...", because first off -- we don't. I consider Gears of War 2 to be "1.5" in a sense, it isn't a huge visual difference, and the gameplay/combat has not changed in an extremely noticeable way. I'm not some ignorant fanboy or Gears of War hater -- because I loved the original one. I had played it for nearly a year straight without another game taking up my time -- it was a great game. I think Gears of War 2 will be even better, but in my opinion, it won't be the best of all time.

Then again, if you believe it is the best game ever, then that is fine. While everyone won't agree (once they get their hands on it), it is your opinion. Again, pure jealously over the fact you have Gears of War 2 right now.

You are still going to receive backlash with that statement, simply because the majority of the X360 gamers have not played the game yet. I'm just saying -- you might want to change it before even more backlash. "We" don't know, it is just your opinion.

Um...the fact stands that even if the game is absolutely awesome and the turns out to be generally the most highest rated and praised game this year, it will be far from 'one of the best games ever'. You may 'think' in your own opinion, which is completely fine, that it is, but even if it exceeds anyones expectations, it won't ever be 'one of the best games ever'. I generally think the game looks pretty good, I went from no interest what so ever earlier in the year to "i'm definitely giving this a gamefly and probably will have it for a long time" so its changed me already there, but the gears of war franchise in general, could never stand up and be called 'one of the best ever', it really can't.

We aren't saying ill of Gears. We're saying that saying that it's unanimously one of the best games ever before it's released is moronic.

Question: Why is Marcus such an emotionless douche?

inb4 Sonyfag. The only character worse than Marcus Fenix and Master Chief is Nathan Hale.

No dude, just look at his goatee and steely eyes. You can tell he has a had a totally not generic rough past and that's why he comes off so cold. It's not that he's an emotionless douche he is just complicated and boy would I love to figure him out. :3

I agree about Master chief being not so cool , but Marcus is not emotionless . he chose his father over his duty back in E-day . he saved lives of so many soldiers , and at the final cut-scene of Gears of War 2

I won't understand that, because I haven't got an Xbawks. But I'll play it when it comes to PC.

Yes I know what Cliffy said. MS will pressure him into a port.

yeah , you should definitely play this game on PC when it comes out since the story in GOW2  is way more than just killing Locusts and saving the world  that were presented in the first game .

I hope so. I found the repetition a bit much. I'm sure it would have been alleviated if I had played co-op with someone, but I didn't.

That was such a cheap, underdeveloped character point.  I can only shake my head.  We already went through the "hard-boiled protagonist loves shapeless voice in head" thing with the Master Chief and Cortana, and we all know well that was fleshed out.

This obviously is not the best game ever, since there is no such thing. I do believe it is great, although I only played the first one and simply didn't like it (too repetitive, and not my type of gameplay), BUT I have to admit they are great games, specially when it comes to art direction, just not my cup of tea. But it is also far from being the game of the year or something like that, because from what I've seen and heard, it is the same formula as the first one, which means it has already been done.
Anyway nice to see you had so much fun with it, after all, that is what games are made for ! :D

Master Chief wasn't in love with Cortana.  Have you even played Halo?

And MC is in no way like Fenix.  The MC actually has lines and is more of the Ryu Hayabusa kind.  He isn't a one liner character or even hard-boiled, he's just badass without trying basically.  He's more of a get it done type of guy

oh , boy that part was a nightmare !!!!!  for destroying mortars using the turret  you need to ignore the first mortar altogether and focus on the other mortars . constantly tap RB and RT . by doing the former you make sure that the turret won,t overheat and by doing the latter your turret would be ready to fire all the time (as you know there is a lag between pressing the RT and the actual firing while you are using the turret so by taping  RT again and again the Turret rotates all the time and shoots immediately  after holding RT which is really important since you have very limited amount of time to shoot those mortars) ,

after destroying all the mortars  do not hesitate for a second and immediately aim at your left using the turrets;   a Reaver will appear on your left  .  this part you need to be as accurate as possible .
also the very end of this chapter where you have to kill a Brumak  is really frustrating too , just keep in mind that you need to shoot him again with as much accuracy as possible using turrets , by the time you see it throwing missiles at you leave the turret and jump back , then go forward and keep firing at it . all and all this chapter along with Chapter 3 will be really challenging ( if not  frustrating ) on insane mode , so you need to be patient and you will need to replay again and again and again  till you win .

 I am sure later  on the game you will encounter with  lots of tough part , fortunately  you can use a trick for all of them . whenever you need a trick or tip for insane mode you  all can count on me .

My suggestion? Enjoy the game in co-op, as small parts like this will be completed a bit easier.
