Gears of War 2 Comments by Christian Donlan

Does it have h0m053xu@1s in it?

What's the man love rating??

Better than GOW then.

A 9 that reads like a 10. Is it better than a 10 that reads like a 9 or 8?

Eurogamer have really fucked themselves with this rash of 9s and 10s.

"Dizzy, And yet nothing on a Sony product?

Why, Dizzy? Wny? ;o) "

Because I have no Sony products maybe? :-)

FZ, you are the first of the real sads to turn up.
Please accept a cookie, and now f**k off.

Only a 9?

Oh dear

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.

This will not sell more than a couple of hundred copies.

Only as good as LBP? Shame.

What a lot of new additions to my ignore list

With so many 10/10 games on Xbox 360 its a shame many will now skip this game as a direct result of the Credit Crunch.

I expect it will barely scrape the top 10 next week.

"Better than MGS4!!! put that in your Blu-ray player and SMOKE IT BITCHES!!!"

Normally all the "better than" comments piss me off as it's been said 1000times before, but for some reason that made me laugh.

Anyways.... 9..too many decent games to buy, nowhere near enough time to play :(

@ Yossarian.... does that mean all the other review sites/mags have too then? Get a grip dude.

duals

Gah, I really can't afford another game right now!

i dont think this thread can take another 9/10 joke, even i feel like headbutting a kitten now

I'm guessing that Epic asked the reviewer not to reveal a certain part so as not to spoil the fun for those who buy it. Sounds reasonable to me. So why can't a so called professional writer find a better way to avoid mentioning said part of the game than merely attesting to some sort of conspiracy with his comment "I'm not allowed to talk about that." It's like films with twists where the reveiwer says there's a twist but I can't tell you what it is. Why not try to be more creative with your words instead and leave these surprises to be exactly that, proper surprises. It would be nice to get our full 40 quid's worth if the developers have been imaginative enough to chuck in some welcome surprises. Lazy writing.

"Ball kickage avoided

9 = FLOP right?

not better than LBP then lolz


Not as good as Failble?

Anything less than a 10/10 is utter crap.

....

EAT ME!

PSLOL "


I wonder which ps3 exclusive got a tenner, well I mean which exclusive on ps3 is not a shit game then? hahahahahahah

This much sarcasm is steaming up my glasses. Please, no more...

WOOT nice review.. cant wait for this.

That review told me nothing. Im gonna go look somewhere else.

The only 10 ps3 games ever see is the £10 sticker on them cause they don't sell.

innit.

Brilliant! Looks like I'll be taking the day off on Friday then!

Review reads like a 10.

Either way I can't wait for this, the first one is truly excellent in almost every way, it sounds like the second game addresses pretty much all of the problems of the first game (the complete lack of story for one thing) and also throws in some new toys (new guns, bigger multiplayer etc) in which case this is a very strong candidate for my GOTY.

GOW2's Horde mode sounds intriguing... can you play this solo against waves of enemies as I'd prefer or is it co-op only?

/hugs xbox.

Fallout 3 is likely to keep me from this, though.

Maybe.

After reading that review I'm really looking forward to the single player now. I'm glad Epic didn't rest on their laurels and churn out a by the numbers update. What a great time to be a gamer.

That bit that mustn't be mentioned is obviously the Marcus/Dom shower scene.

So hawt!

/preorders

epic fail from microsoft, canceling my pre orders since its obviously not that good. fable 2 and gears of 2 metacritc score both below little big planet, guess ill just have to get that for xmas instead.

9 out of 10!? epic lol!

@ JYM60

LOL!!!

Just watched gametrailers video review (9.5) and 1UP's (A)... looks absolutely fantastic!!

Glad they have added more colors and a bit more scale and variation without losing the Gears-style.

Ordered my copy this morning... can't wait now :)

@chris_ace : You are kidding right?

Please stop trolling !

Seems good to me :) can't be perfect but still a good game :)

So many games this christmas :(

I wish Epic had actually put a proper one player game in UT3!

The review reads like a 10 score. Eurogamer is getting really screwy lately. I used to like their reviews but now too many reviews seem rushed and too complimentary.

God damnit, just after i forked out 52 USD for left for dead too.

Oh well, it's a nice problem to have :)

-_- What happened to this place? It used to be the home of the most intelligent comment posts on the internet. Now it's just shit. :(

@dryden555: I belive they just ran out of 10s and has a spare box of 9s on the shelf...

How many people here are posting the same joke over and over?

A lot.

i've seen a lot of "dual posting" heheh

lol, fallout zombie is a re-registered banned poster

GOOD ONE CHUM

Can we get a Hazmat team to seal off this comment thread?

I love this thread. It's impossible to tell the ironic comments from the ones typed in earnest.

It tends to get incredibly boring in here very quickly, it used to be quite interesting and sometimes amusing, now it is full of absolute tools. Get a grip.

I have to admit being sorely disappointed. I expected something with a bit more intelligence after Epic's claims of wonderous storytelling, and yet evidently it's merely window dressing for the usual ho-hum shooter mechanics with mild variation of the old duck-and-cover routine. Even the graphics aren't a huge step up - after the sprawling vista's of Fallout 3, I need more than some pretty textures and overly butch characters to impress me. I'd say it looks more like a game coming in from the beginning of the 360 era - hell, Kameo offered more beauty. 9/10 simply isn't good enough either - EG have shown that recently with 10/10 reviews of disappointing games like Fable 2. For me a 9/10 on EG is more a 7/10 everywhere else because they've lowered their average. The review reads more like it's a sedate experience, no excitement in the text whatsoever. I think I'm going to sell my 360 and get a PS3 on the basis of this.

Defo getting this. I havent touched my xBox in like 2 months. Im so broke though.

I think its quiet funny though, I am really lookin forward to getting my hands on LBP and when i was reading the review, which also got a 9, loads of peps where giving it socks and saying gears will get a ten blah blah. I hope that shut them up and now they can realise that a 9/10 is a savage score for any game. When a game is giving this high of a score it deserves respect.

Oh and example of retards i have mentinoed above, @topblood. Your a knob jockey for exactly the above reasons cause you were expecting gears to get a 10/10 and now you have to retract with stupid statments. bellend

@Razz
I hear ya. 75% of the comments so far people just trying to be funny. Point is, no matter how retarded you make your comments ("9/10 I'm not buying ZOMG!"), sadly enough there are people that think that way... :(

EDIT: Whoops I'm late... Blackthorne and tomkuryakin already made that point too...

Coop is not mentioned in the review is it? I only ever played the original Gears with a mate. I don't even recognize it as a single player game, so I'd like to know if that implementation has improved even further, too.

@RhythmDancer

he gave sensible thoughts on the game and you had to go and say that.. look at all the morons on here, at least he didnt splert out the old shite .. dont be sore just because he said he might get a ps3! SHOCK HORROR

Wow...really sounds good - nothing but praise in the review. I'm especially impressed with how creative it sounds like Epic was with level design. Not thrilled about the underground bits, but I'll deal with it.

Can't wait!

PS3's just seem to be the more intelligent gaming option. I did read the review, and to be honest it doesn't sound exciting one bit. It's the same old same old a bit different, that's all. They may as well call it Gears 1.25 - hey, I'd be cliched and put 1.5 but I don't think it even merits that.

Overrated.
