"Incredibly dense story / many twists"

Its good to hear epic delivered on the story, that was the only real downfall of Gears 1

Gears 2 marks the 360s 18th AAA game and really makes the 360 the must have console of the year, so many great games in such a short period makes you wonder why devs couldnt release anything o
in the summer instead of overloading the holidays

callahan095696d ago

I'm getting sick of people defining games as "AAA".

What does it even mean? First of all, it's subjective. Second, are you basing this on a MetaCritic score or something? I mean, come on. The same people who always say that 360 has the most AAA games also say games like Uncharted and Ratchet & Clank on the PS3 are not AAA because they scored 89's instead of 90+ . . . It's ridiculous. All the systems have great games, and plenty of them. It's up to each individual gamer to decide which system has the right library for them.

Jandre025696d ago (Edited 5696d ago )

But Gears 2 is the first AAA exclusive of the year! (Fable 2 might be able to hold on if the Destructoid review stays (edit) out of metacritic.)

Looking at this year, the PS3 has MGS4(rated as high as any 360 exclusive ever) LBP (rated higher than any 360 exclusive ever) and R2 (looks to be as good as Gears 2 with a longer retail value)

So I would have to say that this is the year of the PS3. It sold more than the 360, has more AAA exclusives, and has 2 games that are equal or better than any 360 exclusive to date (since Bioshock is now multiplatform)

You should really have both consoles, since the 360 is so cheap now. But I don't think anyone can say the 360 has the better lineup this year, when the ratings say otherwise.

Kyur4ThePain5696d ago (Edited 5696d ago )

*Looks at the story image*
"dense"
*Nods slowly*

On Topic:
Pretty high score. Let's what the rest bring.

power of Green 5696d ago (Edited 5696d ago )

AAA is a MEGA SELLING(or sells well) game gamers must have in his/her collection and is a factor when consumers purchase a new system, non of those off topic ps3 games are that( gamers will buy AAA titles no matter when they purchase the console durring the console's life time.

PirateThom5696d ago

Again, AAA is subjective.

I don't consider Halo 3 or Gears of War to be AAA, while I do consider both Mass Effect and Fable II as AAA.

I don't consider Call of Duty 4 or BioShock AAA, but I do consider Dead Space and Uncharted as AAA.

Mega selling has nothing to do with how good a game is: See Ico, Shadow of the Collosus and Okami.

miniduf15696d ago (Edited 5696d ago )

It depends, AAA from a companies point of view is mega selling game like Hal0 3. But from a gamers point of view anything can be AAA. I consider my favorite games AAA, even if they dont have a score above 90% what does it matter.

Omega45696d ago (Edited 5696d ago )

I never said anything about this being the year of the 360 i said that the 360 will be the console to own this year, if anything this is the generation of the 360 rather than just the year

That because it will have over 20 AAA games by christmas vs the PS3's 10. And like POG said AAA games are must-have games and with 20 on the 360 which console would you rather buy especially with all the multipltform AAA game being better on the 360 and have DLC

And if you wanna go by scores the Wii has had 3 AAA exclusives this year so shouldnt it be the year of the Wii?

Edit: My bad the 360 actually has 4 AAA games (or games over 90 for those who complain) this year so far if you include arcade games while the PS3 still only has 2. Also whats stopping Banjo 3 from being AAA as well is has just as good a chance as R2 if past games are anything to go by

Ghoul5696d ago (Edited 5696d ago )

AAA = A game project wich isnt bound to a certain deadline and money cap. AAA means that a team has a huge range of artistic and technological freedom until the game is ready (not unlike the other games where the team gets like 15 month as a fix dev time in wich the game MUST be delivered). It does NOT mean any certain score or quality. AAA is solely a phrase a huge project and developer.

Fable Halo Gears Uncharted LBP Ratchet etc. are all AAA games.

once again AAA does NOT mean a certain score, it only means the developer has a HUGE fund and devtime (they say when the game is ready NOT the publisher).

EnforcerOfTheTruth5696d ago (Edited 5696d ago )

360 has 18 AAA games? lololol it doesn't even have 10. If you use metacritic score, then the truth will probably dissapoint you - M$ bribes reviewers. They got exposed for bribing Halo 3 reviewers and funny how Fable 2 was all the time under 90 with only 1 perfect score, then all of a sudden several perfect scores popped out in one single day and pushed the game overall over 90. Well not really, Gamerankings still has it under 90, metacritics just rounds up, the true score is surely under 90

Timesplitter145696d ago (Edited 5696d ago )

Well I can't live without MGS4, and LBP and Resistance 2 look sick, so I wouldn't call the 360 ''The'' must have console of the year because of Gears 2. For me it's the PS3, but that doesn't mean the 360 is bad either.

And for the PS3 fanboys, always remember that Resistance 1 got an average of around 90 or 89. Please consider this before bashing Gears 2.

larry5696d ago (Edited 5696d ago )

This comes from XboxNewz --a site unheard off till now
Gears2 got 9/10 from OXM uk and most websites will give it 8 or 9

X360 has 15 AAA games with 12 being multiplats and 9 being on PS3

Bioshock --on PS3
Rock band 2 --on PS3
GTA4 --on PS3
Orange box --on PS3
Oblivion --on PS3

GRAW ,Guitar hero and RB1 came out before PS3 was launched. However the sequels are all on PS3 as well

x360 has no AAA except Gears 1. Gears 2 wont get 90 from all sites

theEnemy5696d ago

18 AAA games ?

If so then the PS1 probably has 100, PS2 probably has 250, and the Wii has 59.

hmmmn.. multiplication is fun.

ape0075696d ago

all I can say is gears 2 is going to be fantastic

can't wait for more gory bloody action

gears 2 ftw

r2 ftw

fanboys can **** off

Firstkn1ghT5696d ago

A AAA title is subjective. Everybody has their own preference. But a great definition of a AAA title is a game that over all gets great scores. In other words.... MAJORITY RULES!. 9's and 10's. Games like Gears, Halo 3, Mass Effect, Fable 2, etc... are all considered AAA titles. You can also add how successful a game is to add to the definition.

Enforcer of the Truth... Microsoft bribes reviewers??? You mean like when Konami gave everybody free trips to Paris with a full sushi bar for the unveiling of MGS4??? Not to mention they gave them restrictions on the game like loading time or the length of cutscenes? You mean like that?

SL1M DADDY5695d ago

Trips to Paris and free sushi bars were all put out there by Konami, not Sony so it stands to reason that Konami wanted to get the biggest bang for their buck and it was not Sony doing the "so-called" dirty deed.

Anywho...

A triple A title is a title that has no limits to budget and no limits to time. It is a grand project that is hoped to gain huge success and huge press. Not all are successful and, some smaller budget titles that are on time constrictions make it bigger than said triple A titles thus giving off the illusion that scores are what make a title AAA. Scores are only part of the cake, the rest is up to budget and time frames.

Gears of War is my favorite video game franchise, and the Locust is my all-time favorite faction.

My rank list:
1. Gears of War 2
2. Gears of War 3
3. Gears of War 1
4. Gears of War 4
5. Gears of War 5
6. Gears of War Judgment (No Locust in multiplayer was a disgrace)

ChasterMies709d ago

Agree 100% with this ranking. The campaign in Gears of War 2 is among the most fun campaigns ever made. It’s been downhill from there.

Zombieburger638709d ago

I’d say gears 2 and 3 are pretty even. I absolutely loved both of them.

darthv72710d ago

2 is still my favorite but 5 is also up there (for me). Then I'd say 1, 3, 4 and Judgement. Tactics isnt the same type of game, so it seems odd to rank it among TPS when its a strategy game. So I make that one all its own. Pretty fun game too.

Jericho1337710d ago

The first is and has always been the best one imo - the story, the levels, the set pieces, the soundtrack - as close to perfect as a campaign can get.

I’d say the series had been on a continual downhill slide until 5.

Om4ever709d ago

Naaaan ... 2 is the best by far

MadLad710d ago

3
5
2
1
4
Judgement

I love the series as a whole, but 4 was pretty by the numbers, and Judgement was just ok.

LoveSpuds710d ago

I played them all since picking up a Series X about 7 months ago. Personally, I don't think time has been kind to the earlier games and they feel very slow and repetitive to play. Whilst the newer games may be prettier, they stick with the original gameplay mechanics too much in my view so as a whole series of titles, I think they are pretty average games.

Not to say they weren't fun and I have a lot of nostalgia for 1 and 2, I just think there are far better action games out there.

Old McGroin843d ago (Edited 843d ago )

It's brilliant but personally liked part one more. It's the only one that had a near horror movie vibe to it in parts, the atmosphere was amazing.

Also, the commercial for it was 🔥🔥🔥

https://youtu.be/wy8LRlS1SC...

Neonridr843d ago

Mad World was such a perfect song for that trailer. I loved part 1 too just because it was so fresh at the time. The series has been solid, but experiencing everything for the first time was pretty awesome.

ChasterMies843d ago

Gears of War 2 has one of the greatest campaigns of all time. Carmine, all that juice, fighting inside a giant worm, and riding monsters.

Knightofelemia844d ago

Gears 1 and 2 will always be my favorite Gears titles. The scene where Dom find his wife and then has to shoot her was an epic scene.

monkey602843d ago

I always found that scene laughably bad myself. Fantastic game though.

1 will always be my favourite. Most were great with the exception of 4 being okay and judgement being terrible.

They still have the most satisfying headshots from any multiplayer game around.

lucian229843d ago

Nah I laughed, the acting was soooooooooo bad

KicksnSnares844d ago

My favorite Gears game list
1. Gears 2
2. Gears 3
3. Gears 1
4. Gears 4
5. Gears 5
6. Gears Judgement

Gears Of War is my favorite video game franchise. I can’t imagine how Gears 6 will look in UE5 after watching Hellblade 2 gameplay trailer

RetroCaptainSteve844d ago

Or if they remake 2 and 3 with that engine.

KicksnSnares844d ago

There is a rumored Marcus Fenix collection (Gears 2 & 3 remake) in the works at the Coalition. Hopefully, it’s true, but I doubt it.

Profchaos843d ago

For me you can't beat gears 1 the original was so fresh and revolutionary at the time.
Then basically I'd rank it 2,3,5,4 and judgement

Viljong843d ago (Edited 843d ago )

One of the reasons why i got the series x. Been fan since the first game.

myfathersbastard843d ago

Played them all recently on gamepass. Great games. But my favorites gotta be gears tactics. Don’t know why. I just had a blast with it lol

This is the correct answer.

nibblo1186d ago (Edited 1186d ago )

Close to my rankings but some differences. My rankings:

1. Gears 3
2. Gears 5
3. Gears 4
4. Judgement
5. Gears 2
6. Gears 1

People will hate on me putting Gears 2 so low but I always felt the graphics were too busy to the point of confusion and the combat/movement hadn't really improved over 1. Lot of cool ideas but execution wasn't the best as far as I'm concerned.
