Since JLH doesn't even appreciate voice comms he can't even begin to appreciate the tactical depth to the multiplayer.

Gears of War = OMG!!!

Postby JustLikeHeaven1 » December 29th, 2006, 9:36 am

I never even said that I didn't like the game...I have stated numerous times that its one of the best on the 360.

Have any of you ever bought a game that received numerous awards and praise from everyone, only to get home and find out that it can't live up to that hype?  I'm sorry but the game is not perfect and it does have flaws that deter from its fun factor...deal with it.  Just because everyone else thinks GOW was developed by God, doesn't mean I have to listen them.

If you don't like it, fine--but don't say it's overrated. XBL traffic is up 80% since the GoW launch. That speaks volumes. Some people just want to be different and nit-pick. Yawn.[/QUOTE]

GOW sold over 2 million copies in a month...XBL traffic SHOULD be up.  Its about time since there hasn't been a game worth playing online since Halo 2.

[QUOTE=JustLikeHeaven] - One more complaint about the cover system is that you are almost comletely invulnerable while in cover.  I tried shooting a locust arm/hand that was hanging out past its cover and the shots never registered.  The same thing would happen with their head sometimes.[/QUOTE]

This kept happening to me.. but then I adjusted my aim.

What does that have to do with anything I've said...pretty much nothing...I never made a single comment about about GOW online capablities being bad.

Do you even read what I type in posts?

You're saying it was over hyped and didn't live up to it.  It has everything to do with it, name one third person shooter that's better than gears.  Since it was over blown as you put it name one game that matches it.  if you can't than it really isn't overblown is it?

JLH nothing good worth playing on Live since Halo 2?  Are you stoned?

 

There have been vast numbers of great online games.  The majority of them much better than the awful Halo 2 online experience.
