I'm happy they brought the price down from 1600 to 1200. This bit of DLC is first day for me.

maxcer5443d ago

yeah its down to 1200pts now because the gears community was not too keen on the fact that the loyal customers who bought all the packs up to this point kinda get screwed. the retail version will no longer be coming out due to the change

SaberEdge5443d ago

This is some nice DLC. I love me some Gears so I will definitely be getting this.

JeffGUNZ5442d ago

Gears is one of the only games I have played that no matter what BS happens during it, I keep coming back for more. This is first day DLC purchase for me.

I don't get it, What makes GoW so fun? It's just a straight up shooter.

ShabzS5443d ago (Edited 5443d ago )

its intense man ... its screaming out loud while killing ugly motherf*ckers!! .. intense!!!

STREET x KING5443d ago

GeoW 2 is one of the funnest games I've played, its just really fun to play! One of my top games ever!

The Master Chief5443d ago (Edited 5443d ago )

Stealth Edit.

meatnormous5443d ago

I agree that Gears is a fun game and I will be getting this, but I DO NOT agree with Master Chief and his little rant on the PS3.

badkolo5443d ago (Edited 5443d ago )

cause the game is easy to pick up and play, lots of the games that are played most often are easy to pick up and play, all cod series, gears, halo, l4d etc.....

Ms has stated this long ago when the 360 was released, they said controllers are to complicated, games are to long and some are to hard.

Since then games have been shorter, easier to pick up and play, and start off on normal that is easier then last gens normal.

SO thats the answer to you question as to why people love gears. the same answer applies for cod,l4d,halo and a few other games this gen.

sukru5443d ago

Fortunately both Halo and Gears provide higher difficulty settings.

Games should be hard. Toys (Wii) could be easier.

TheBand1t5443d ago

Maybe that's why I never got into Halo, Gears and most CoD games. Steep learning curves can make a much more rewarding game for those who get into it.

I.E. Rainbow Six: Raven Shield and Battlefield Vietnam were games I played for 3 years straight. They had crushing difficulty if you didn't remember every trick in combat, every weapon spec, and to know when to retreat from a force superior in firepower. Yet that's what made them so fun.

The Master Chief5443d ago (Edited 5443d ago )

Oh yea Halo and Gears are soooooo easy. I'm sure you completely dominate in Halo MLG and COD4 Hardcore.
/s

TheBand1t5443d ago

CoD4 hardcore is ludicrously easy by comparison to a game of CS 1.6.

So because I find those games to be easy you get defensive? Any reason?

P.S. MLG has to be the dumbest idea I've ever heard of. Seriously, gaming ain't a sport.

TheBand1t5443d ago

That's all you have to say, huh?

meatnormous5443d ago

I use an m14 while most just spray with an LMG. I always close to the top. I also Play COD on the pc where there are always people online and 54 player rooms. It isn't hard to play hardcore.

The Master Chief5443d ago

No one said it was hard to play, its not easy to dominate.

meatnormous5443d ago (Edited 5443d ago )

It is easy to dominate when the other team uses nothing but LMG and P90s. 1 Shot from a M14 will kill with a chest shot with stopping power on. I have my spots on every map and it never fails to have those 3 people that are dead set on getting you but they never can. My steam ID is big_buckin_chicken if you wanna play sometime.

Fleet Fox5443d ago

I agree COD4 can be easy and feels good to play(which all the best shooters usually do) but its not easy to "dominate" on Hardcore...and I'm actually good. And Halo MLG is ridiculously competitive, especially as you climb toward a 50.

You won't make it to a 50 in Halo 3 unless you are about a pro-level Halo player. Seriously it doesn't get a whole lot more competitive than the Halo MLG playlist...and I play CS:S and used to play 1:6.

edhe5443d ago

Good games *are* easy to pick up and play, and enjoy, and also let you crank it up to insanse so you and a buddy can molest some fkn locust with chainsaws, flamethrowser and 'nades in gritty battles to the victory of mankind..

YEAARGH!!

maxcer5443d ago

your argument kinda goes out the window due to the fact that you don't play the computer in multiplayer modes. these modes are the most played aspects of the games you listed, even years after release.

Ranking The Gears Of War Games From Worst To Best

The Gears of War series has been a consistent deliverer of quality for Xbox, but which games are the best?

Read Full Story >>
culturedvultures.com
KicksnSnares689d ago

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)

ChasterMies687d 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.

Zombieburger638687d ago

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

darthv72688d 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.

Jericho1337688d 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.

Om4ever688d ago

Naaaan ... 2 is the best by far

MadLad688d 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.

LoveSpuds688d 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.

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...

Neonridr821d 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.

ChasterMies821d 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.

Knightofelemia822d 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.

monkey602822d 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.

lucian229822d ago

Nah I laughed, the acting was soooooooooo bad

KicksnSnares822d 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

RetroCaptainSteve822d ago

Or if they remake 2 and 3 with that engine.

KicksnSnares822d 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.

Profchaos822d 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

Viljong822d ago (Edited 822d ago )

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

myfathersbastard822d 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

Atom6661164d ago

This is the correct answer.

nibblo1164d ago (Edited 1164d 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.
