Gears of War Redux

cool buy me a house

Come over on the 22nd and we will talk.

 

[IronFingaz]

Had a blast last night. There's nothing like sitting up 'til 8:30 in the morning playing Gears

That said, this game can eat my ass for a while. I will not be playing Gears for some time......I am getting more than tired of the glitchy play and the typical bull crap that goes on.

I say it like that as both Josh and I sent several voice mails (not to yourself) stating that we couldn't get on due to the host. If it was me, upon hearing them I'd switch host or tell the host the issues
Just felt kinda weird that there was only 6 people playing in a room at the beginning with me & Josh having to go play soul caliber
I was not that pissed tbh, just a shame not to game with anders on his birthday

I wanted you there. Same with Josh and Keith. All i heard was that Josh couldnt connect and when i have that problem i can't connect to anyone at all. Hopefully we can play tonight, that is if you (or anybody else for that matter) are playing.

I'll most likely give it another go tonight but that will probably be it until November 7. With Madden, Force Unleashed, and Fable 2, I just won't have much time or motivation to play this frustrating ass game.

[The Josh]

Not to matter anyway I'll be playing soul caliber & co-op gears tonight anyway as Josh is needing the final dom achievement, I need the insane achievements & soul caliber is good fun with Josh, bagels, dee & maybe Ill...if his cheap ass buys it

stress & angst free

Yeah, we got some business with GOW to finish. SC is insanely fun with everyone. I mean where else can I hack and slash my friends.

I might buy it today. It depends on what I get for some tradeins.

Nice! The game is great fun and I'm not the worlds biggest one on one fighting game fan.

I might rent madden

Dude you should! Its a fun game and you can pick a team even and see how you like it during our dynasty league.

I'm with ya. I'm sure I'll play it a bit more but with several games coming out and the fun that is SC I'm close to taking a long vacation from this game. I love GOW but as I was telling Lonnie the other night I think the issues are getting worse. Which makes me think they're moving server space for GOW or something like that.

i haven't played online since i want to finish the game on the different difficulty levels first. i don't play a lot of shooters so i need all the practice i can get. i just made it through the battle after you drive the junkers back to cole and baird (whole thing takes place on a cross walk). it was feaking awesome and a great ending to the whole 'kryll' levels (holy crap!). i just can't get over the graphics and the way the game 'moves'. so freaking cool. i had a buddy that came over while i was playing and he was pretty floored also. he is a long time socom player and was pretty wow-ed by the look and play of the game (and the different 'actions' and feel of the weapons). there have been so many cool parts. i know i'm not that far into it and i don't get a whole lot of time to play it but it is a very satisfiying game even in little chunks (from check point to check point, etc). plus, the fact it's such a self-contained experience (i.e. don't have to go online, find a group, raid, roll for loot, raid, roll for loot, repeat, etc, etc, ad infinitum). it has a cool story line and the characters are freaking awesome.

any, just my .02.

All I have to say its about time some of you opened your eyes

Well I had fun - while it lasted. Sorry about the host issues - I would have been more than happy to have someone else host if I had known it was my problem. I've only hosted once before and at that time it didn't seem to be an issue....now I know. No more hosting from me. Didn't do me much good anyway.
It's really too bad that so many of you get so frustrated with the game. For me, I suppose, it's more of a social thing - getting to play with everyone, and if I suck, it's not that big of a deal because the reason I'm playing online and not campaign mode is to hang out with everyone. Bums me out when so many of you decide to quit because of glitches and what not. Oh well - here's hoping Gears 2 will be better.

 

[Karma]

my problem isn't with the host, it's being flooded with invites & you can't join, you then send people voice mails explaining you can't join for them just to blank you with no reply

you then see the room has only 6 people in it & wonder what's going on


exact same thing happened to Josh

Then don't reply with 'going to play SC with Josh'. We had no idea why you couldn't get in but you're making it out like we didn't want you to join or something. That must've been why we flooded you with invites. If you had any idea that it may have been the hosts problem, you should've said so. No one in that room would've minded backing out and restarting to get you and Josh in.

That is only common sense, we've been playing this long enough to know that. My .02 Cents.

 

[The Josh]

Well in all fairness if you get two people having the same exact problem it should come as the first possible issue that maybe its a host problem. We've had this issue before with Fingaz not being able to join a few and we switched. Also, I do believe I mentioned it may be a host issue in one of my messages.

Sadly, I did not get any of those messages as they were relayed to others and I had no idea Karma had the same problem. We all knew you had been having problems with your connection Josh and just assumed that was it. I didn't know Karma also tried to get in - thought he was playing a different game. I guess we need to communicate better so we know what's going on.

 

[DarkArtist81]

I'm sorry I missed last night, the Wife and I spent some quality time together and I wasn't available until much later than I wanted. But I will play tonight.

I wish I could get Soul Caliber, but I will probably have to wait on that one. At least until I get some more money. I'm stretching as it is to buy Madden.

Same here just dont know what condition I will be in.

I didn't send you one. I figured Loki or Kit was hosting based on who was on. Water under the bridge now really.

Same here... Tonight I am sure I will be nice and "pre-lit"

 

[Darth Loki]

I've never seen this problem or experienced it. As Anders said, when it's happened to him, he hasn't been able to get on at all even with a change of host. After Karma couldn't get in the second message he sent me said 'Looks like I tonight's a no go. Gonna go play SC with Josh'. What exactly should we have done after he said that?

I'm sorry that not all of us have played this game so much that we've experienced every single little problem. So it's not common sense to everyone and as for your .02, well ...........

Already started

which I did...I said I couldn't get in and it must be the host therefore going to play SC, no reply back say wait we'll switch host and see

in the end you guys played on with 6 until more showed without trying to switch, your choice & by the sounds of things I'm kinda glad I missed out
