The selling point for Gears 2...for you.......is the story?

That is honestly the first time I have ever seen that.

You don't think the original Gears of War on its insane difficulty was a challenge?

I thought it was pretty challenging, personally... I'm not ashamed to admit when a game on its hardest difficulty challenges me.

Well, obviously... that's the same difficulty that I started with on the original game, as well. I'm just trying to say that the game's toughest difficulty was a challenge... personally speaking, of course.

I thought it wasn't too bad. Just seemed like a few parts here and there are hard.

I never played a game that was CONSISTENTLY hard before. Well...at least one this generation.

Gears Of War on insane mode was no challange to me, i beat it easily, the only hard part was the last boss which only took me 5 trys to beat solo.

Maybe I didn't use the correct word. Yes, games can be challenging, but I never sit down and say, "this is going to take a while." I beat the first gears on Insane in like a week (probably less). I beat all the Halo games on Legendary with ease. I just beat COD4 on veteran difficulty today (started last Wednesday) and didn't think it was that bad once I got used to dying after being shot once or twice haha

It's not that captivating, but I find it interesting, yes. I don't know why certain games (like Halo) get bashed so severely. I enjoy every aspect of every game I play for the most part.

You are in the minority on this one. It certainly would be stupid to buy the game in my opinion. Would you watch a movie if you knew how it would end? Maybe...but what would be the point?

Would you watch a [insert your favourite sport here] match if you knew who was going to win? I would. I'd try my damndest to keep myself from finding out what was going to happen though. I don't think knowing the outcome negates playing the game/watching the match/film, but it does make it less exciting than it would otherwise be, and therefore I'd rather keep the suspense. I haven't watched the end of GoW2, and I won't until I beat the game, either.

No I wouldn't watch a sports match if I knew who would win. What would it matter who did what if you knew at the end who won? If I knew that despite Endy Chavez's insane catch at the left field wall in game 7 of the NLCS would have done nothing to spark the Mets offensively against the Cardinals I would say, "so what?" Knowing the ending ruins everything except maybe a person's life (because we all know we're going to die).

hahaha

Not only was it a homerun robbing catch, but a snowcone homerun robbing catch.

I agree with the majority. Why would you want to know what someone got you for Christmas, or an ending to a movie, etc.? I want to at least be surprised or get excited a little bit over a game or movie and not find out the ending before hand.

I loved the first Gears, I never get tired of it. I'm so pumped for 2, but I hear it seems to be lacking of some things. Nothing I'm to afraid of, a game is always lacking of something. Can't wait to see the *** you get to kick in this game. Can anyone agree with wasting their lives on this game for a few days?

Video games these days are very easy to waste away on. Theres just too many damn good ones out now. Especially online. It kinda sucks.

Like with COD: World at War and GOW2 coming out at the same time. (or technically 4 days apart)

It's hard for me to think that Gears 2 will actually be out this coming Friday... I sure hope that the GameStop that I have mine preordered at does a midnight launch!
