Gears of War 2
 
Any of you all taking November 7th off to play Gears of War 2 all day, or picking it up at the midnight release?

Nah. I can wait a few days. I'll pick it up after launch so I don't have to deal with "Oh you didnt pre order? Well we have hundreds of copies here but I have to lie and tell you that they're all preorders" crap that Gamestop pulls.

I went ahead and pre-ordered it, but a friend of mine is going to pick it up at midnight if they allow it. Pretty psyched for this game.

I don't have an Xbox 360, but even if they released it on PC I would skip it. Gears of War 1 on PC satiates my desire for pointless killing fun.

I completed the first one, but still feel like I didn't play it enough.  So I'll be skipping this for awhile.

Amazon shipped it to me, I think it arrives today.  I'll add it to the pile under Resistance 2, Fable II, Fallout 3, GTA IV, and others.

One day I'll be sick and laying in a hospital bed, and I'll be able to play these games between convulsive episodes.

Wow that Gears of war 2 gun on amazon really is plastic. I thought it was metal...$140 is crazy. I wonder who actually bought that thing? And what the hell is weapons grade plastic?

  • 36" Long, 10" Tall, about 13 pounds, and constructed from "weapons grade" plastic
  • Side Handle Folds In & Out and Slides Back & Forth
  • Trigger Activates Motorized "Chainsaw" Sound and Vibration Feature, and Removable Clip
  • Created from the actual 3D data used in the Gears of War 2 videogame
  • Powered by 3 "C" Batteries (not included)

I got the game
the midnight launch was cool
I got some free hats and a poster signed by the senior producer and the lead programer
there werent that many people there
there was 5 times as many at my local gamestop when I picked up GTA4 at midnight
and this was supposed to be the big event, I think it was the weather
anyways the game is awesome

Peace

Toronto's launch party was amazing:
they held it underground in an old and unused subway (metro/underground) station. that station is mainly used for filming movies now so it typically looks like NYC's subway lol

check out the cool photos: http://krisabel.ctv.ca/blog/_archives/2008/11/7/3966668.html

I played through Gears of War 2 tonight and beat it. Very fun game. I haven't tried playing the Horde mode, but I've heard that is a ton of fun.

The single player is so freaking amazing, I can't believe it.
one of the best games I've ever played.  In the action genre I think it's by far the best.

I played through it online with a friend. It took about 8 hours over two days.

Yeah definitely one of the best games I've ever played. Much like GoW 1 with new stuff and campaign I thought.

The single player seemed kind of short but I think I may reply it at a harder difficulty
man I do not reply many games, I guess it's that good
