@GagEmAndBumEm

Oooooh! I'm scared now, such absolute wit, I bet your chums refer to you as 'The Wit Master'! (or 'The Fuckwit Master' as the case may be) but seriously man, you're cutting me so deep, your amazing intellect is obviously of the same calibre as a lazy eyed transsexual baboon with downs syndrome! Well done! You are teh WINNER of teh intrawebz innit bruv!

omfg you all stupid? The ingame video will be on in a few hours. can't you just stfu and see it first before you all start talking out of your ignorant asses? lol

@Cryon
"Oooooh! I'm scared now"

You must be as that doesn't correspond to anything I've said. Unless of course being confronted with your own repressed homosexuality frightens you.

Sorry dude, I officially pwned you (and your mum) with my first comment. I will continue to read your preteen responses for shits 'n' giggles but I may not respond unless I get really bored, I suggest you go and find someone of your own age to play with, I feel a bit out of order picking on kids over the Internet :/

@Cryon
In other words you lost and have nothing further to contribute except more pitifully thought out scatterbrain comments. It's OK, at least you discovered something about yourself along the way. Even if that discovery will lead to a sore anus.

Life must be hard when as deluded as yourself kid, carry on though, I'm a sympathetic type so I guess I can spare you a few minutes on here...

"If they didn't do that, then more people would probably buy a 360. "

Maybe MS wants to support the PC as well???

Since they MAKE MONEY on that as well.

Ah the poor old queen comes out of retirement! Actually I already had your last post pegged as the typical childish last resort so it's not surprising. Have you rung your parents yet?

TagemandBagem goes into /ignore

@Psymonsays78

You don't necessarily need a high-end PC to run Gears. In fact you could get a superior GPU for the same price Gears and a 360 would cost.

Dizzy, man, don't ignore the little cock-weasel, he represents great comedy value, the likes of which we've only seen in the most hardcore of fuckwits before! Maybe he's the new Apologie, hours of fun picking on a retard of this calibre! :D

@Cryon

Does the crying ever cease? You get more and more butthurt with every post.

@GagEmAndBumEm

Look kid, I don't dislike you, I don't even know you (if I did know you, I probably would hate you to some extent but that's another story). The problem here is that you made a statement that was clearly inaccurate and then tried to justify it with totally out of context comparisons. We get it, we all know that a good PC will outdo a console, did you think you were telling us something new with this nugget of information? The fact is, you made a foolish and out of context post and then started to cry like a girl when I challenged what you had said, that's hardly mature now, is it! Hence I have continued the conversation on your level but it wasn't what I wanted to do in all honesty...

@Psymonsays78

Yep, can't disagree with that :)

At the worst it can only be more of the same ala Halo 2 after the original Halo. As I've said before, I had no problem with that then.
Although can't comment, not got round to trying Gears yet.

@Cryon

There's nothing more hilarious than a cretin trying vainly to be condescending. You're the one who made the idiotic comparison and when I turned it back on you you could only respond with more crying. Something you've continued to do under the transparent cover of unimaginative "insults". The fact of the matter is you are just a superficial graphics whore, unable to defend the gameplay so being forced to make exaggerated statements about Gears' visuals.

"You're the one who made the idiotic comparison"

Seriously, are you stupid? All I said was that Gears looked great for a console game. What did I compare? It was you that started comparing consoles to PC's when no one even mentioned anything to do with PC games! Man, seriously I can't deal with imbeciles like you, sorry but I'm out.

??? To be honest, I don't see where that happened, since he didn't put graphics over gameplay, and Gear's visuals were being discussed in the context of console gaming, which many consider to be superb. :|

"What did I compare?"
"a Ferrari looks nicer than a Ford Fiesta but a Ferrari also cost a little bit more"

I can't deal with people who have the mental capacity of a poptart.

@Yaz

I said 'when you take away the gameplay mechanic they lifted from Kill.Switch all you have left is mediocrity.' To which he responded with regards to the graphics alone.

Hmmm, yes my friend, the car comparison I made was after your original comments and where only there to illustrate how flawed your ridiculous theories were, you obviously can't comprehend on this level so shall we go back to school yard insults? It seems to be more your forte...

"To which he responded with regards to the graphics alone."

If you take away the gameplay, what is left but graphics you utter cretin? Yes there is audio but gameplay in my mind encompasses things such as AI etc, so with no gameplay you ARE only left with visual and audio, God you really are thick as shit kid, I feel sorry for you.

"Just because a Ford Fiesta is cheap that doesn't mean any rational person would say "omg that looks incredible...for a cheap car"."

Pretty much killed your "comparison" didn't it. You can go back to your childish insults now. I'd say it's all you're good for but to be honest I think even a child could venture something more imaginative.

@cryon

"If you take away the gameplay" except I said "the gameplay mechanic they lifted from Kill.Switch". The gameplay mechanic...do you see? Probably not. Makes your constant calls of me being a child all the more ironic since you can barely read.

TagemandBagem wrote: "I said 'when you take away the gameplay mechanic they lifted from Kill.Switch all you have left is mediocrity.' To which he responded with regards to the graphics alone."

From my understanding, Gears is built around that gameplay mechanic, which is common for most games, i.e. a key gameplay mechanic which defines the game. Take away the key gameplay mechanic of most games and you're not left with very much at all, other than the building blocks of the game itself (audio and visual). So again, his comments regarding the graphics wasn't putting it above the gameplay, since the question was what are you left with after Gear's key gameplay mechanic is taken away. :|

Edit: Spelling & Grammar

@Yaz

Plot, setting, Enemy AI, weapons etc etc

@Yaz

Cheers for trying to make him see sense but I'm not sure it's worth it tbh...

@GagEmAndBumEm

Hmm, maybe Dizzy was right to ignore you as you're quite clearly incapable of coherent conversation but I've been on this site for quite a while and haven't put anyone on ignore yet... I guess I'll just continue to laugh at you, like everyone does. Anyway, I really am off for now, gonna play some games. Anyway, to all the adult people in here, take it easy all and enjoy your weekend!

"@Yaz, Plot, setting, Enemy AI, weapons etc etc"

That depends on how you break the game down, you could just as easily add physics, music, scripting, level design etc, but that's not the point, you claimed he put graphics first (i.e. graphics over gameplay), but with Gear's key gameplay mechanic taken out, this is not the case.

Edit: Looking back, I fail to see why you brought the PC into the arguement (and I've been a PC gamer from the beginning). :|

@TagemandBagem

You came into this thred trolling and talking crap and then got upset when people challenged you. You need to grow up and chill out a bit. To help you relax why don't you try playing some video games, i hear Gears of War is really good!

Wrong. I said gameplay mechanice of Kill.Switch. i.e. the cover system. That does not encompass the rest of the gameplay.

@Amoebalove

Oxymoron much?

"Wrong. I said gameplay mechanice of Kill.Switch. i.e. the cover system. That does not encompass the rest of the gameplay."

Do you understand what is meant by KEY gameplay mechanic?

@TagemandBagem

youamoron much? Yes you really are!!

I don't get it. Finally there is a console manufacturer that DOESN'T treat europeans as thrid rate people and steps up with the idea of actively supporting the pc games market with their prize games and all some people here can do is spit on it. What a bunch of sad fucks - yes, you know who you are.

"Do you understand what is meant by KEY gameplay mechanic?"

Yes, but you are implying taking out the cover system means there is no other gameplay to discuss. In fact enemy AI is just as key as the cover mechanic.

@Amoebalove

Since you think trolls get "upset" you must really be a single celled oraganism.

@TagemandBagem

I didn't say trolls get upset i said you got upset, which you did!

"I didn't say trolls get upset"
"You came into this thred trolling"

*sigh*

@TagemandBagem

Are you really that much of an idiot? I said that you were trolling and that you were upset but i in no way suggested that trolls in general get upset which is what your post implies! You really are having a bit of a bad night aren't you?

Are you happy now?

"You're really are having a bit of a bad night aren't you?"

Yes, I'm really I am.

@Psymonsays78

Sorry you are completely right.

Personally I can't wait for it. I loved the first game and still play it regularly.

"Yes, but you are implying taking out the cover system means there is no other gameplay to discuss. In fact enemy AI is just as key as the cover mechanic."

Actually I'm not, I'm saying the game is built around that cover system, therefore take away the cover mechanic and you have a totally different game. Improve or dumb down the enemy AI and you simply have a better or worse experience (it's all about balance), but the gameplay remains the same.

Hence to take the points you made earlier, imagine if Gears of War 3 had a plot twist where your character goes back in time (naked, just like The Terminator) to the Middle Ages. So you'll have a different plot, a totally different setting, different weapons (stones, bow and arrows, crossbow, sling shot etc), hopefully improved enemy AI etc, and yet the game plays exactly the same as Gears of War! So any of those elements can change and you'll still essentially have the same game. But change/take away "the gameplay mechanic they lifted from Kill.Switch" to use your words, and you have a DIFFERENT type of game.

EDIT: Anyway it's late where I am, so time to retire. I'll check out the GEOW2 video tomorrow. :)

@Yaz

I'm with you on that one. Here's hoping its a good one.

Yaz: M00t point. Pick your favourite game, now look at that crucial defining gameplay mechanic. 100% save bet that it is already used in a game before that.

Wow, 3 pages of this?
I wonder what the thread would look like if I put gagemanbumem on ignore...

Edit: Apparently, the posts goes from 106, to 79.

Thats a relief, i thought all the pointless bickering was being wasted on gta.

Looking forward to the new gears but hope they up the numbers for the online coop

Wait when is it going to be shown? Surely not 7am if people are staying up for it?

Ummm...Tagemandwhatever:
You must lead a very sheltered life and own a bargin basement PC if you thought those visuals were "incredible".
I have a nice enough PC. Good enough for Crysis so probably good enough to run GoW. Definitely good enough to tell me if I cock up some spelling. Sadly my 360 can't do that but then again it can play lots and lots of games.

My PC can tell me if I can't spell but has about one sodding game a year worth buying. See the difference?

Wow this comments thread has blossomed
