Did you Pre-order? You can get a Gears 3 Toque , 800 Rewardzone points and Mechanic Baird! Not to mention you might also get a Gears 3 T-Shirt if you're in line. Remember only 25LEs and 15EEs at each store.

Nope I'm just going to go in the morning and see what I can get since I know they will not run out of regular versions ... also, as much as I want a Gears 3 toque, I would never wear it ... ever, lol. I'm sure I will be able to get a LE though. They are just saying MINIMUM 25 at each store to get hype up.

I don't think it's minimum man. There's a reason it's called Limited Edition. lol. Or else what's the point of telling you how many there are?

I don't think any of the paid-for skins are that great. And for reaching level 100, the gold omen skin looks very tacky. Imulsion is probably the most disappointing of the lot. The infected omen and Xbox skins look the best/most striking and I plan on having both :p

I highly disagree. But I do agree on the Gold Omen. It's like they didn't put any thought into it. Not really worth getting to lvl 100 for it. Anyway, here's the official site for the skins

It does say minimum on the BestBuy and Future Shop flyer... I think it's 15 for LE and 5 for Epic.

They would be crazy not to make a lot of them though, that's way more $$ for them since I bet the markup for the LE and Epic are huge.

One more sleep! (and another full day at work <_<)

I've already bought the season pass :p

Is it true they're charging $45 for all the weapon skins? Craziest DLC price I've ever heard of if true :blink:

Well that depends. I happen to think almost all of the paid-for skins are crap, so it would make no sense for me to buy every pack. But I might, at some point in the future, buy a couple of animated packs, which is just over 600 points, which isn't very much at all.

Wow.. started playing with 2 of my buddies .. the coop campaign.. WHAT A THRILL RIDE.. Gears 3 is soooo intense and feels so much better than previous gears in terms of control and gameplay. But the amazing part is that the action starts and it doesn't let go with jaw dropping moments starting right at the very beginning with first boss battle that leaves you yelling "Holy ****" and this is just act 1.

Unbelievable. What a ride this will be!

Yesterday evening, there were 16 of my friends connected: 12 of them had Gears 3 or two were waiting for the post to deliver it.

Some people I have not played with for more than one year showed up

We ended up in a private TDM match and we played for 2 hours: it has been ages since we had so much fun in a game. We truly had a blast.

Between Horde, the campaign and everything, I think that disc is going to be welded in the console for along time.

Got my Epic Edition in a while ago, was verry impressed with the Build Quality of the Addins with exception of the Marcus Statue, feels to " Cheap ", the Statue for Halo Reach was a higher Quality then the Marcus. if you want i can put up more pics when i get home and can spread things out easier

the Case for the gamethough is awsome, its a Rubbery Felt Like Big Case that holds the COG Award, with the Game Case (Case has dog tag on front and clear except for the tag ) + Aditional stuff. seems verry sturdy. well together built ( except marcus statue )

love the game apart from the roadie run - which makes me feel sick, i think they need to tone the camera sway down just a tad on that

I had some motion sickness

where the ship is being attacked and it is swaying left and right

. I made it to Act II Chapter 2, and I believe that is where I will have to stop for the day. It's utter insanity though and I've loved it so far.

The one negative thing though is, are they using pre-rendered videos for some of the cut scenes? I've seen a few that aren't really HD and full of artifacts, but I wasn't sure if it was the engine itself.

Yes, just like they did in Bulletstorm. It's extremely annoying to the eye and ear, IMO. It's obviously been fairly heavily compressed, and the sound is at a lower level than the standard cutscenes and in-game music/noises.

    • I have really been nerding out on my desktop icons and feel compelled to share...

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I missed this when you first posted it, but those are awesome icons! I would normally prefer things to be uniform, but each of those icons seems to fit perfectly for the game! If I may ask though, what was your thought process on which icons are circular - MK makes sense - and which ones should be rectangular or square?
    • Microsoft Paint used to be my favorite Windows app as a kid, and it's still pretty good

      What I like about Paint is using it almost exclusively for cropping and resizing images I get elsewhere--it's quick, easy and cheap... I keep it glued to my taskbar, in fact. Also, the clipping tool comes in handy, as well (hit print scrn on the keyboard and it activates immediately.)

      I still remember it fondly today. It was so cool to work in 64-color Half Bright mode and 4.096-color HAM mode (interlaced) when x86 was still in 4-color CGA or 16-color EGA low res. C= never realized what it had until it was far too late--the failure of C= was the failure of its top management. The C= Amiga was 20 years ahead of its time, I always thought. It didn't hurt that in only 512k of chip memory, the Amiga could preemptively multitask when Apple was still doing gray scale graphics on tiny screens and along with everyone else was doing cooperative multitasking (running more than one app at a time in resident memory, but you could only run one of them at a time--had to manually switch between them.) I had a ball with AREXX scripting running between programs that had AREXX ports so that when you sent other applications data and instructions, those running applications could process the same in real time to output! Memories...

      I'm not sure about that, but it at least "does" a version of 7.1 that this brand new card doesn't....
