Just completed Gears 2 on Insane! Way too much time is spent in vehicles, and that bored me I don't think I will be replaying the story. Only 4 Achievements to go; the rediculous Seriously 2.0, the one for winning 10 Guardian matches as leader, capturing 10 meatflags and Party like its 1999!

Finished my first run yesterday on Hardcore. Loved it.

Riding that brumak was f'ing EPIC!

Finished it for the first time on Hardcore earlier this afternoon, really enjoyed it.. was suprised how much i enjoyed it actually since i got bored with the original and never finished it. I only picked it up on a whim but am glad i did now!

Great game, with plenty of "Whoa.. this is f****** mental" moments, especially the final chapter in Jaccinto :laugh:

I loved the vehicle sections, a huge contrast and improvement to the lame section in Gears 1 :yes:

I have to agree that the vehicle sections are a bit different but enjoyable. They breakup the monotony with land battles a bit and in my mind are a lot more fun. I used the word epic way too many times when playing game. With the implementation of just more people on screen it seems so much more realistic.

Am I the only one?

No matter how long I play, or how hard I try, I just cannot be good at this game. I am terrible with the shotgun, the only way I ever got kills was with the lancer's chainsaw, but I recently changed to the semi auto one the locusts have, because I can't stand the lancer. It's so damn cheap.

Will I eventually get good? I usually get used to games within hours and I start doing really well, but I am terrible at this game, and I'm getting nowhere!

I've played GoW1 on the PC and I just got bored with the cover and run/cover and shoot-gameplay of the game after a while. The graphics were on low settings and the performance wasn't great. I also think the responsiveness of the PC mouse was too good, making the game too easy.

I just bought a Xbox 360 (first console since SNES) and was wondering whether I should give GoW1/2 another chance on the 360. Does it really feel/play better on the console?

I'll be happy when they work on the matchmaking, personally. Still haven't been able to even load a game, and my dorm connection's a lot better now. That's alright, though, since I can play multiplayer with my roommate and bots for now... but hopefully they patch it soon.

Just completed it on Insane with Spookie. Damn we were getting stressed out towards the end lol. The last level was just as easy as it is on Casual though which just means Epic couldn't find a way to make it harder than it already was so they made it stupidly easy... oh well, got the two gamer pictures for completing it on Insane (the blue one with Marcus that I'm currently using, and a red one with both Marcus and Dom on it) and 225 gamerpoints for completing on insane/hardcore/normal and completing in co-op, so it's all good.

Crap, I didn't know about those. A friend and myself are about through Act 3 on Insane so we still have a ways to go.

    • Free Software Foundation Europe pushes EU to force Google to allow AI uninstalls on Android

      Free Software Foundation Europe pushes EU to force Google to allow AI uninstalls on Android by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels Users should be able to fully uninstall AI-based features from Android devices and be able to access interoperability functions, free from Google’s verification requirements, the European Commission has heard as part of an Android interoperability consultation under the Digital Markets Act. These measures were proposed by the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) last week when it submitted its documentation. The FSFE noted that Google had started silently installing AI models without telling users. It noted that the EU’s DMA requires companies like Google to allow users to uninstall pre-loaded software from their devices, but in the case of the AI models Google is installing, they reinstall if you delete them, contravening the DMA. To get Google back under control, the FSFE has told the European Commission that there needs to be improvements within the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). First, it said that users should be able to fully remove pre-loaded AI components from their devices, with companies being prohibited from silently reinstalling or reactivating them. Second, access to Android interoperability features should not be contingent on registration, authorization, or contractual relationships with Google. This pertains to Google’s attempt to force developers to register with Google, even to publish apps to alternative app stores like F-Droid. Discussing its submission, Lucas Lasota, FSFE Legal Programme Manager, said: Google is planning to roll out its Android Developer Certification in September 2026. This will force every Android app developer to register with Google before their software can be installed on certified Android devices, but it should affect those who have removed Google Apps from their device. The program is controversial because it entails the signing of contracts and payment of account fees to Google, as well as the handing over of the identities of developers. It said: The FSFE said that if the Commission’s draft measures remain unchanged, then Google will be allowed to make developers verify their identity. The FSFE believes that asking developers to register is contrary to the text and spirit of the law. In summary, the FSFE has told the Commission that no developer should need a Google account, a Play Store presence, or any agreement with Google to access Android’s interoperability features.
