The Official Gears Of War 3 Thread

[Karma]

I did try reading a Gears comic. Didn't hold my interest enough. I think it was the one with Jace in it

That's how much I remember it

issue #19 is part 1 of a 6 part series written by Karen Traviss called "dirty little secrets" and is set before, during and after Gears 3

No Gears multiplayer?...wow man your missing out on great stuff.

I played a couple of rounds. its cool but i suck at it.

always seems I kill someone and then someone kills me.
never get great scores.

Mybe I need a good team.

I know is a fun multi but with BF3 uncharted and MW3 Coming I dont think I will have time for Gears online.

Has anyone found the Old Spice guy yet? he's supposed to be in the game, not sure if its online or campain though

 

[McHavyck]

Has anyone successfully taken out an opponent on Old Town with a grenade-tagged chicken?

Regarding Easter eggs:

Spoiler:

I did get the one on Gridlock, where 'Mad World' played for about 10 seconds at the start of a round - pretty cool. I think your team has to be up 2 rounds and no one can "break" any of the ash people.

Isaiah Mustafa?
I wonder if he's riding a horse backwards.


Edit: He's apparently the voice of the COG Gear (looks like maybe one of the Carmines) in multiplayer.

now I'm down to acts 1 & 5 for the co-op achievement

Is there any way to find out which levels you need. Ive done them all randomly and now im not sure which ones I need

 

[The Josh]

so much story to gears outside the games dude

Yeah, if you're a fan of Gears and you haven't read these you're doing a disservice to yourself.


Edit: As far as this campaign lacking its not lacking a damn thing IMO.

 

[speedy485]

Just finished the campaign on Hardcore. Overall I'd say the campaign was great, but the ending was passable at best. So many more questions were created than answers given...

What is the deal with creators of action games refusing to completely tell a story? I don't want to wait another two or three years to have the present story explained in a future title. It's very frustrating!

It'll tell you in the achievement part of the stats

beast mode is over & done with :

I need co-op on act 1

I think a Raam or Skorge type boss battle would have been cool. Would have been cool if the Gears were pitted against a single elite humanoid type boss. I didn't get the same feeling beating the chick as I did those 2 (on the hardest difficulty setting, Skorge is nothing compared to Raam).

Maybe that was the feeling that was lacking to me.

I know what you mean but I got that feeling that I had when defeating Raam and Scourge when Fenix shanked that biotch lol

I finished the story mode today and I have to say this was one of the best games I've played in a really long time.

Indeed, the lack of a Skorge or RAAM type boss is the only reason I don't give this game a full 10/10.

Spoiler:

Not to mention, Queen Myrra was a lot easier to beat than RAAM or Skorge. I was actually a tad surprised Skorge wasn't in Gears 3. I was hoping he had survived his fall from Gears 2.

I still haven't beaten Raam on the most difficult setting by myself Had to do it with a buddy. Basically blind fire was my friend, since Raam would turn me into mulch if I popped up even briefly. CPU controlled Dom was no help

That is a little blemish on my "gaming career" actually. I usually like to dominate some games before moving on to the next. But beating Raam on solo & on the most difficult settng stumped me.

Spoiler:

As did trying to unlock the Big Boss skin in MGS4

 

[Darth Caedus]

Raam on Insane single-player took me SOOOOOOOOO long to do. It was almost as bad as beating Mass Effect 2 on Insanity.

 

[Darth_Fatso]

I had enough trouble with RAAM on the easiest mode, I doubt I have the balls to try to beat him on Insane difficulty. It's those stupid Kryll that made him so difficult.

I can't figure out how I'm missing act 1, I've played it over & over....unless they are counting the dream sequence at the beginning?
