1) Yes, and Gears 1. 2) No. 3) I'd say average. I won a few matches and lost a few. It wasn't fun enough to keep playing and raise my game. 4) Yes. Terminator 2: Judgment day for the win. Also the Gears 2 campaign is just pure unadulterated action. That was more than one question.
1) K 2) Good for you (no really) 3) I kinda doubt that. I took me at least 30 games to become average and learn how to use the shotgun. 4) K
The reason I asked those questions was to figure out why you do not like the multiplayer. By that I mean to figure out if you suck or not. I find that when I suck at a game, I don't like it very much. But even then I still play through more than a couple games. In hopes that I see why others liked it and because it compromises 10% of my gaming library. Usually I end up liking it,being good at it and not feeling like I wasted $60.
The sarcastic/demeaning way that those questions were phrased kinda indicates that you don't approve of those with different opinions.
I understand sarcastic, but not demeaning. Question 3 could be taken as demeaning, but in honesty that was an innocent question. Question 4 was completely called for, you gotta admit. The GoW2 campaign was so ridiculous and voice acting was annoying as crap. "Whoaaaaa bitchesssssssss the Cole train is in da house mothe****aaaa" Umm I admit the post to Donavon was demeaning. Mainly because I find it annoying when people think Gears is meant to be played anything like CoD (shoot shoot shoot).
The maps for me. Plus Horde mode simply not as fun as they made it out to be. Miniscule differences but the maps are what make or break it for me. One of the many reasons I f*cking HATED MW2.
I have to agree with you on that. Maps make a huge difference, MW2 being the best example. But having never played Gears 1, I don't know what constitutes a good map. I liked Blood Drive, River, and Jacinto. Are those good?
Jacinto was a bad ass map, actually my favourite especially on Submission. And I liekd Annex on Blood Drive but other than that all the maps pissed me off lol. I don't know what it was about the maps that made it better on 1. Maybe it was the wow factor or something. Things just seemed to suck on 2.
Not really... some of the best quotes in film history are the cheesiest. Serious Sam wouldn't be an awesome game if it wasn't as un-serious as it could possibly be. Besides, the action in the Gears script is weaksauce when compared to 80s action/horror movies. Return of the Living Dead Part II FTW.
What defines cheesy? I usually associate it with something predictable, cliche, or straight up ridiculous. Like when the main character has to do some impossible stunt to get to some unbeatable enemy, whom he kills with some really obvious weakess he finds. Or when a bunch of people plummet down to the ground, land on some enemy's super important, terribly gaurded, machine. Except they lost their explosives and have to shoot at it with common guns, which miraculously works and makes you wonder why they even bothered going down there with explosives. Think I went a bit off topic.... So for something to become cheesy, it needs to have been done countless times before and/or is incredibly stupid. While some famous quotes could be cheesy now, they weren't back then, rather they were really cool to everyone back then. Which caused people to overuse the quote and/or situation and/or story line. Then we think it's cliche and predictable, therefore cheesy.
I agree, which is what makes the Gears script acceptable. If someone asked me to write a cheesy, cliche-filled action script I'd be writing the same stuff. And it doesn't matter at all, because you're holding a big gun with a chainsaw on it, shooting at hordes of aliens that are trying to enslave the Earth, it fits perfectly. If they'd tried to write a serious script to go with that gameplay it would have failed.
MOH Beta was so bad I puked on my TV which then short-circuited and caught on fire. I hate to say but BO looks OK and GRFS looks great campaign wise but not so much MP. I say save your money, really.
