Gears of War 2

Idk man. I think we were playing on Normal and even that was somewhat hard. Its tough to say though because with 5 people itd be alot easier (we only had 3 people). We played on mansion and when we stayed up by the sniper it was easy but when we went outside we got owned. Also everyone respawns at the end of each wave and if you die you can start over from that wave you were on. So I mean eventually yeah anyone should be able to get to 50, just depends on how long it takes. Either way its a blast though. I can't wait to get home and do some more coop though, i want to progress the story.
 
Me, Jer, and Kitty got to level 47 on horde before i was just too tired to continue. Even on Casual, the last 10 levels are so freakin hard. 2.5x damage, health, and acc? Fuck that.
 
Going to go pick this up! Can't wait to play though I won't have much since the next week is so full I can't play as much as I hope =(.

You ran through the entire game less than 24 hours after it was released? :o that's pretty hardcore.
 
Got to 17 on Hardcore with 4 people before one person had to go and we just decided to call it for the night, they just don't stop coming....
 
I was talking about horde, lol. Although the amount of time i put in to horde that night, i probably could have beaten the campaign on at least hardcore. Blowing through it on casual so i can just do it on insane.

In other news, we beat horde mode. Last level was so easy, because we had such an awesome strat. Shields > all.

We got to lvl49 with 3 people and let me tell you what, i really would love/hate to see 50+ but we got tired and Quit. i love the game so much.
 
Beat the game in 7hrs on hardcore mode >_> I dont see how people get stuck on normal or casual, also got to horde wave 50 and fell asleep

Happened to my friend, he tried it again a few hours later and it worked so you might try doing that.
 
Honestly, I lost interest in the Gears franchise the moment I finished the first one. I hate it when a series is built to be a franchise; The ending to Gears 1 was terrible in the sense that it doesn't really clarify anything. I know its an action game, and like an action movie it doesn't need to have a good plot, but ffs if you're going to hinge something so heavily on a game (most magazines covered Gears for months before it came out and EGM gave it four different covers in a month) try to not let the single player fall flat.

Just felt like a commercial for GoW2. Its as bad as Halo 2's ending in that regard.
 
Yeah i really can't find myself to stop playing Gears2. A friend and i are going to a crack at Insane. I really hope we have a hard time because this is by far The Best Story line i have played is a long time.

I understand your opinion. Now i liked GeoWs story and i feel the same as you about the ending. But I would like to encourage you to rent GeoW2 at least. They have improved the story so much. The ending is still a little... errrrrggh still... But i was not aware these characters could even show emotions. Epic did a great job improving the one weakness to the first game.
 
My brother and I played through it this weekend. It was alright, but I don't know, it didn't "wow" me.

Spoiler:
My favorite part was when you had to carry the bomb. We were spinning around in circles punching everything until we finally made it to the end of the hallway.

I was pissed when the Rook died.
 
They certainly delivered on their promise to make very thing bigger for the sequel. The only thing they didn't ramp up was the difficulty. Playing through it on Normal, I thought it was a lot easier than the first. That's not necessarily a bad thing, though. I look forward to exploring the next two settings.

The game is slightly easier. Epic received alot of complaints about the game being too hardcore the first time around. Like the average gamer could not take on Gears1. I guess in response to that they toned the difficulty down. Insane mode is still insane tho lol...
 
The single player was awesome. The only thing I didn't like was acouple of the vehicle sections seemed a little long imo. Other than that it was good,
Spoiler:
Well actually the lack of a real ending boss was kind of disappointing too although the fight with skorge was pretty much the boss fight.
Oh and the story was fucking wintastic. I enjoyed my playthrough and can't wait to go back through on insane.

Spoiler:
Who else thought the locust queen was hot? I'd hit it. Seriously though they need to make her a playable character online, shed be bad ass.
