Gears of War 2: Some Things About Campaign Mode

Giant Bomb: "Last week Microsoft held an event devoted to letting people play through Gears of War 2. This was one of the first times that people were allowed to play through the game's campaign mode.

In short--because I'm leaving for the airport to head to Tokyo in a few minutes--Gears of War 2's campaign is largely what you'd expect, from a gameplay perspective. The new stuff, like additional weapons or additional maneuvers, is sprinkled throughout, but yes, you're still armed with a lancer at the outset. Yes, the game opens with an optional tutorial. And yes, it's quality stuff."

I don't get all the hype around this game!
visually , gears 2 is a copy paste of Gears 1, there's absolutely no dynamic lighting and shadowing which brings down the graphic quality by %50, yeah , artificial lighting engine with baked shadows doesn't cut it these days. even B level games have dynamic lighting. and don't get me started on the normal map extravaganza and the Vaseline effects.
artistically , Gears is an offense to anyone with good taste , the character design is simply obnoxious and silly , seriously , their anatomy is grossly disproportionate and their armor is 2 times bigger than their body , makes them look like a spoof or a parody.
all in all , Gears of War is a visual trainwreak.

I completely understand where your coming from because i feel the exact same way about resistance 2.

Edit: But what i don't understand is why you have to go on every Gears2 article and downplay the game.

Are you being serious or is this some "handbags a dawn" fanboy battle?

If your serious you guys really should look back 5 or more years and compare games then to where games like Gears or Resistance are now. Both are absolutely stunning.

To be honest i don't like Resistance 2.It feels very generic to me and it might be due to the reason that i am sick and tired of FPS's, but i keep my comments to myself and will never go on a resistance thread and start spamming the article unlike Atomic.

Every Gears thread he is there saying the same old crap about Gears2.

EDIT: One thing that i admit about Resistance 2 is the graphical quality.It has a very clean look that i really like.Insomniac really captured that 50's look or is it 40's (don't know too much about the game).

Gears has a very dirty and gritty look but is also graphically stunning.

Well buddy , if you think that about Resistance 2 ,more power to you, it's your opinion.
and what i want to achieve by my post , is just to express my distaste and at the same time , educate all of you kids cause i think most of you are blinded and tricked by all the flash and sparks of Gears 2 , because underneath it all , it's just a mediocre looking game.

Edit: who cares about Resistance, my money is on Killzone , so yeah , Resistance 2 can go to hell.

I'm out now.

Like there was ever any doubt that this game would freaking rock. As for R2, I am sure it'll do well but I just didn't love the first one like I did Gears. I'll still purchase both but R2 will have to wait til Gears is done and that may be awhile with the new multiplayer modes. That being said, I understand the model for Gears but I am excited to jump into a 60 player match down the road.
