Gears of War 3

That's why you think it's broken, because you haven't used it, which is pretty fail logic.

I have used it. It's for bad kids.

The end.

When the only solution to a weapon is to use it, you've probably got a broken weapon. Just like the TU6 gnasher.

I haven't played MP yet, so I haven't had to deal with it, but if it's still like the beta, it's still as anti-skill and scrubby both in practice and concept as ever.

Gosh, I gotta find some time to play this game. I've barely even started the campaign.

This.

Anyways, out of curiosity, does the digger just explode when near an enemy? I've noticed whenever someone rolls out of the way, it just keeps going, and when someone stays stationary it pops out of the ground and kills them. I'm assuming that's how it works.

 

[Pluvia]

But if you use the gun you see that it's not broken. You see it's glaring weaknesses and can then punish them. This is why, even though you scream broken, only about 30% of people use it online. It's terrible.

 

[Sinister Slush]

Speaking of seeing guns, I wish I was able to know what my teammates are holding.
And being able to see them, I can hardly tell them apart from the environment when looking through the tac, GoW2's tac was much better cause you can see them since they're like a big Red target in a white room.

I hope you're not referring to those old stats that joeGraf posted, because I'd been on the gears forums showing how those stats even further showed that the SO was broken.

I.E. About 28% of players used the SO, and 18% of kills were from the SO, though about 72% of players chose the Gnasher, but they got only 30% of the kills. Double the useage of the SO and you get 56/36, which is less useage than the Gnasher, but more kills. So yeah, useage doesn't represent the weapon's power, it's the kills per use. If more used the SO, it's kills would quickly dwarf that of the gnasher or any other weapon, because it gets more kills on average per use. Just because people haven't decided to use the dumb weapon doesn't mean it's not broken.

Of course, those are beta stats, I still have yet to see any stats for the released MP.

 

[Fuelbi]

God the campaign is so ****ing amazing

I was speechless when

Spoiler

Dom scacrificed his life to help Marcus and the others escape

. He definitely won respect from me, and I sure as he'll know who I'm using in the MP from now on

 

[SwampertTheGreat]

The campaign is really good.

Only on act 3 though

I'm not referring to those stats, I'm talking about the retail version.

And the SO is different to the beta, it can't down anymore and is more noticible. The Gnasher has 3 times the range and can down and gib.

 

[F8AL]

Just letting you guys know that this Saturday will be another "shooter night" in the LH. Let me know who hosts/plays and I'll award the postbits ASAP. Thanks.

I'm pretty sure I've been downed by the SO before. Also, Gears 3 for shooter night would be awesome. Sadly I probably shouldn't host, my connection isn't the best.

 

[Fuelbi]

Well I finished Gears 3

God that story was so amazing. I honestly can't believe it ended the way it did, but it did. I honestly thought that

Spoiler

Dom would make it to the end of the game

Also, **** Carmine. I can't believe he's nearly died like 20 times and he's still lived

I'm suspended from Xbox Live for a week cuz my bio said:

Yet little white 12 year old boys can call everyone and their mother a stupid ***. Whatever.

You're amazing. gg, that's completely true.

Yes you are. Proceed to cut yourself in a slow painful way.

Indeed.

Oh my

Just got a Quad with the Gnasher
and a RAMPAGE

PWAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

[Fuelbi]

Beast mode is pretty fun

I just wish it were more than 12 rounds

 

[Wretched]

Guys, do you know who I, Wretched, will probably use in beast mode?
Guess.
Spoiler below.

Armoured Kantus

So how is beast mode, really? I mean, I don't even know if it is PvP or not yet, which I would enjoy bunches.

It's only 12 rounds?

Fuelbi told me it's you vs the AI but he may be wrong.

 

[Fuelbi]

No that's correct and it's fun hut too short

 

[smash brawl player 99021]

I'll be honest,

This campaign is really boring. I didn't like the Gears 2 campaign too much, but this is a lot worse. The only reason I'm still playing it is for the Acheivo's. Otherwise...it's really boring.

Defend > Overtake > Cutscene > Defend

same ****.

 

[Fuelbi]

I loved it. Could be my bias, could be the third act and final acts, but I loved it

Also, I got a triple kill right now lol. I threw a frag at this sniper who was trying to take me out, then killed someone with my lancer who came to defen his buddy, then chainsawed the 3rd person who was trying to help him too. This was all in tdm and we were all down to our lasts lives, me being alone

I got commended by my team when the match finished lol

 

[Grandeza]

So I've never played Gears and the only shooter I have experience with is CoD. i realize this is completely different being third person and all. Is GoW3 worth getting for someone new to the series?

 

[Wretched]

Yes. They made it much more accessible. If it is ANYTHING like the beta, and from what I'm hearing, you don't have to have 3lit3 wallbouncing skills to do okay with the shotgun, and you can easily substitute machine guns.

 

[o-Serin-o]

Beast Mode is fun as ****.

It just needs to be longer.

Much much longer.

Have you beat it yet? How is playing the beserker like?

inb4thatswhatshesaid

 

[BanjoKazooiePro]

Lmao, I'm raging more over this game than CoD. People camp so hard it's unrealistic. If you play against a full party, there's basically no point in trying. Secure the spot with the OP power weapon in whatever map and you win.

How do they mess up MP games so bad these days? The concept of balance is totally foreign to people. **** balance, let's make the game "fun," or in other words, let's make a bunch of ******** weapons so the stupid kids can get kills! Yay!

 

[Roneblaster]

Berserkers are too much fun to play as. But beast mode itself is fun only the first 3-4 times u play it, then its boring and repetitive.

I beat horde(all 50 levels) i dislike how the boss waves are random, the lvl 50 boss was only 1 reaver

Finished the campaign today. Simply put, the campaign was TOO ****ING EPIC. Youre actually just a negative nancy if u disagree. The scope and scale was unlike any other shooters campaign ever. And the story is actually super ****ing legit, it tugged on my heart strings.

 

[The Real Gamer]

I have finally gotten my hands on GoW3, however, my XBL name is now changed from TEH 4pp1e SEED back to XxSteadyEddyxX so all of you here people send me XBL friend request with your Smashboards username.

That is all... Happy killing.

You'll beat it the first time round. The only hard part about beast mode is the 1 minute timer, apart from trying to extend it there's not much to worry about. Horde on the other hand is bloody fantastic, and playing the campaign with 3 or 4 of your mates is such a laugh it's unbelievable.

Aw, thanks for the heads up. I assumed it was like horde mode but you just play the other side for 50 waves.

There's a timer? o-o

 

[Pluvia]

Yeah about a minute and a half timer. Destroying things and killing enemies extends it a few seconds.

Anyway I just completed it on Hardcore by myself. Took me a bloody hour.

 

[F8AL]

Is the trick from Gears of War 2 back? Where one person plays on casual while the other people play on insane and it balances it out to normal?

I disagree.Every game has a basic formula that it follows and this game is no different.I personally thought the story and scale were amazing.Loved the campaign.

I'll probably try to beat Horde next.

 

[BanjoKazooiePro]

I'm so inconsistent with the gnasher. Sometimes I'll get 10+ kills with just the gnasher alone in TDM, and some games I'm forced to just use the hammerburst/whatever power weapon I can find. I think it's mostly dependent on who I'm playing against, but I just can't seem to do well with it consistently.

I put my sensitivity a bit higher the other day, and although it makes wall bouncing much easier and helpful, I'm still having trouble with it. Just gonna play some king of the hill to get good practice with it. And on that note, does king of the hill give you more points than it did in GoW2?

Trade it in and go back to MW2.

Then, when MW3 comes out, find something else to ***** at, rage, then sell that back too.


I ****ing hate people that never have ANYTHING positive to say about the game other than pointing out its faults.

 

[Fuelbi]

God this game is so amazing. I don't think I've been satisfied with a game this much since Colors came out last year. Aside from making the retro lancer more OP, there's absolutely nothing at all I'd change about it. God I swear on my life I ****ing love this game and buying the LE and the gun was so worth it. Even the story was amazing. I especially can't get over act III. Literally I did not expect for any of that stuff to happen. I didn't expect

Spoiler

lambent humans nor did I expect for Dom to actually give his life for the team. That fight at the end of that act was so amazing. I was hoping they'd just pit every side against each other in a free for all and lambent humans just made it even better. I am pretty disappointed at the lack of backstory for Baird though. I mean, Cole got at least some background, Dom has his wife, and Marcus gets to have the whole plot with his dad. At the least I'd expect some level centralized on Baird or something. I'm also feeling pretty mind****ed about the ending. I didnt actually think E Day was planned, I didn't think imulsion was a living organism, nor did I expect for Prescott to be such a *****. I was pretty pissed at how Adam died though. I mean Marcus spent the entire war thinking about his dad and **** an then he only got to see him for about 10 minutes before he died.

I also lol at how

Spoiler

the demo at E3 ended up becoming the night time with some slightly changed stuff, but I guess **** happens

So yeah... Btw how did Marcus get his scar anyways?

I'm guessing you don't read the comics.
As for Imulsion being alive, it hints that in GoW2 when they kill a lambent locust that tries to jump towards them, as (I guess Blood) blood crawls up the wall and fuses with another lambent.
