Gears of War 3

I think that Epic realized how bad bulletstorm was and needed a gimmick to get people to buy it.
I guess they figured they could promote a good game with a bad game.

Bulletstorm isn't that bad.It just shouldn't be a $60 game.

I'm hoping this game's more like GoW2 then 1.Not sure why but I liked GoW2 multiplayer a lot more then the first game's.

Regardless of what people say, gears 2 is much faster because of the speed and versatility of wallbouncing. The only difference is the standing movement speed, which makes strafing more effective in Gow1.

By your logic, Halo 3: ODST is a bad game but the Reach beta (good game) served as a "gimmick" and got people to rent/buy the game just for that.

They say it's not like Gears 1 or 2. It's like Gears 3. (I'm assuming this is good.)

 

[Wretched]

Uh, wut.
I didn't...
I don't understand what you're saying.
ODST was bad, and in order to play the reach beta, which turned out to be good, you had to buy/rent ODST.
I didn't say that this scenario applied to any other situation, but you brought up a perfect example.

All I hope this game is is just fast.

I don't care if shotgun battles get toned down or something, it'd be nice if it just had fast paced gameplay (though I hope they make it shotgun oriented again, I liked the game like that). Aside from that, they can do whatever they want to it to make it different from Gears 1 and 2

 

[F8AL]

Yeah, I was just bringing up another example. That's all.

In that big video about the MP and beast and stuff, one of the guys said the gnasher will still be the weapon of choice for the better players.

Difference between ODST and Bulletstorm is that I actually liked ODST, I got bored of Bulletstorm just from playing the demo.

 

[Wretched]

I have the beta now.
Don't hate, just appreciate.

 

[The Real Gamer]

^ I'm hatin hard bruh.

 

[Pluvia]

I got Bulletstorm for half price.

Because seriously the game is ****, I just want the beta.

 

[F8AL]

I have the beta now.
Don't hate, just appreciate.

I look forward to playing with ya.

 

[Wretched]

Yeeeah F8AL, these will be memories..... to remember.

Here's a gow3 beta stream, pretty interesting. http://www.justin.tv/prod1gyx#/w/1085209360/7


I've only been watching it for a little, but from what I've seen:

-Shotgun may be alittle weaker, still not sure
-Hammerburst has 200 bullets on start, seems like reload is a little slower also
-Smoke grenades don't ragdoll, but they do stun your upper torso, you're unable to aim or shoot, but you can move.
-Ink grenades cause a full body stun ( I think, i've only seen one ink so far)
-Retro lancer's charge isn't always a 1hitkill, I just saw it wound. Idk what causes it though.
-Boom shot has 3 shots again

I'll edit if I see something else :D

 

[WindMajor]

I've been watching the stream all day. It looks really slick. And gruesome.

I'm trying to get my assignments out of the way now so I can play this all day on Monday.

Btw, I guess there's a test you can take that can get you one of these early beta codes. It just asks you random questions about GoW, but you also need to work at a game store. I guess it asks you for a pay stub?

 

[Wretched]

The early beta is on a host system anyways, which seems gross when you think about the potential of the first two gears on servers.

 

[ThreeX]

Arite, I just got a beta code, if you go on expertzone.microsoft.com, fill out a registration and say you work at walmart. Google info on a local walmart to fill out store number/phone number. After that you take a gow quiz and then you get a code. <3

Hope to see you guys on gow3!

I've heard about expertzone but I thought you had to submit your pay stub so they can verify it. (They changed their system to this after people abused the website to get all those Halo: Reach beta codes. )

If you put your workplace to Walmart, it completely bypasses the pay stub request.

 

[ElDominio]

But all you get is a crappy Windows gadget :/

 

[Fuelbi]

So how was Bulletstorm anyways?

 

[ThreeX]

No, go back to the main page, look at the Gow3 banner and click on "get beta now"

Btw, this game is ****ing amazing.

I am in serious lesbians with you

 

[ThreeX]

love all of you too I can't stress it enough, this game is AMAZING.

 

[F8AL]

We should all add each other so we can play, I have to wait till the 25th to play tho:

XBL GT: II F8AL II

 

[SwampertTheGreat]

GT:SwampertTheGrea

I'll be able to play the 18th.

 

[Pluvia]

So what Americans get the beta early? And for free? Where's the fairness in that?

 

[The Real Gamer]

Holy crap ink grenades are ridiculous now! lol

 

[F8AL]

Life isn't fair.

 

[Pluvia]

But still that was an incredibly bad move on Epics part. I honestly think that company is run by inbred donkeys.

Fixed for ya.

I'm sure there's a good reason behind it anyways. No need for the rage.

 

[ThreeX]

Warzone sucks.

 

[Pluvia]

Fixed? You broke my post beyond belief, the day I say that is the day I go absolutely nutso insane.

 

[Fuelbi]

You complain a lot

 

[Wretched]

Gears of War 2 is good.

In other news, Pluvia, couldn't you just lie and get the code?
Also, Gears of War 3 has been pushed to September 20th.
One moooore thing (Jackie Chan Adventures <3), Epic makes kickbuttocksgames

 

[Pluvia]

Tried but website wouldn't load, shouldn't have clicked UK I think, got a friend to click US and there's only 40,000 beta codes or something and they're all gone.

I like the fact that there's people who haven't pre-ordered the game or got Bulletstorm in my friends list playing this. I guess the best way to get the beta was to just be lucky enough to be on the Internet on the 15th.

 

[Fuelbi]

:/ I didn't do the thing so I didn't get my beta code

Oh well, back to waiting for another week before playing the beta

 

[The Real Gamer]

Is there ANYONE that plays GoW2 still?

I was absolutely murdering last night... And when I say murdering I mean I've almost never played so good before. I had one game where I got 17 kills and 0 deaths in Execution on Security. It was with host but still.

I don't care if you're good or not I just want someone to play with. >.>
