|Rapture| Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Big careface from me, bought it for the xbox didnt like it, tried it on the PC and didnt like it their either. I'm a big UT fan and tend to like UT engine games in general they just have the right sort of feel to em but I honestly though GoW was the most overhyped POS game I've played in years. Zero immersion, uninspired graphics and lackluster sound.

Ultomato Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Trailer reminded me of Rambo and his lil monologue about war. anyways i cant wait, ive always liked GoW better than Halo Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/621069-gdc08-gears-of-war-2-announced-november/#findComment-589220987 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yusuf M. Veteran Posted February 20, 2008 Veteran Share Posted February 20, 2008 Sweet, I thought Gears of War was great so this one should be good. I wonder if they'll include the moves Marcus Fenix did in the teaser trailer; the chainsaw clash and the upside down chainsaw kill.

+virtorio MVC Posted February 20, 2008 MVC Share Posted February 20, 2008 Cool. Hope they tone down the "lets duck behind this object while I'm trying to run away from something, leaving me in open view" a bit. Zero immersion, uninspired graphics and lackluster sound. It must be opposite day in Rapture.

Jimmy0 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Do you think we will see a port to the PC sometime along the way? How long was it after GoW1 was released on the 360 did it come to the PC?

|Rapture| Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I never said the graphics were bad, just boring. There are only so many shades of gray. Sound is all distant and hissy. Guns, explosions and speach. I just didnt get this game. I know lots of people do and thats fine I'm glad you enjoy it but for me, it does nothing. It must be opposite day in Rapture. prime example of what the unreal engine is capable of. the sound? asjdfha;nbf;kad what does that even mean? Dude, you posted in the wrong forum. This should go under "Jokes and Funny Stuff". good for you getting something out of it I obviously couldnt.
