Forums - Microsoft Discussion - REBUTAL : To those who say Gears Of War 2 is only Gears Of War 1.5

@markers

I hated the part where you had to push the car that was on fire. I was playing co-op, and for some reason the car kept getting stuck by the manhole. It wouldn't move any further. So we were stuck, because we were surrounded by darkness. We tried replaying that part at least a dozen times, but the same thing kept happening. One time the car actually disappeared on us. We quit after that.

The next day we tried again, and it worked perfectly. I have no clue what the problem was.

@topic

The sequel should be similar to the first one anyway.  That is why it is called a sequel.  I'm sure that my buddy is going to buy Gears 2, and I'm looking forward to playing co-op with him.

I just want to know what happens in the game, the first one left me hanging. I also like the idea of holding an enemy as a shield, I know it's not really new, but I think it is a nice feature.

In my opinion, the ones usually labeling this game as Gears 1.5 are the ones looking at just graphics. I believe there is enough in there, storywise definitely to label this as a sequel.

I am upset about the comment on Beserkers though, I loved those things.

Got a retro room? Post it here!

dont get me wrong Gears 2 is a good game man, but i just can not shake of the fact that it does not improve in every way in a big enough way to be called a full fledge sequel. to a game like gears 1. it is more like a spin off then a sequel, thats why i refer to it as gears 1.5



Alright Ubieslut, can you point out some true sequels that released on the same console then?



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

I wouldn't mind the same old with a different story line personaly.

 Halo 2. Resident Evil 4. Ratchet and Clank Going Commando. Super Mario Bros. 3. MGS 3. Kingdom Hearts 2. All these games passed their predecessors thanks to new features gameplay mechanics, distinct stories set in the smae Univers and were overall better in every way. I can't event ell the difference between a screenshot from Gears and Gears 2.

Resident Evil 4 was on a new generation of platforms (3 was still on the Playstation), so that one doesn't count. So aside from the dramatic improvement of Super Mario Brothers 3 (which is comparing a near gen end game with a launch game), I don't see what's so different from your examples and Gears.

Gears 2 looks like it improves over 1 in every way. Just because they have the same art direction doesn't mean they're the same. Halo 2 had the same art direction as Halo.

Heres a better argument:

http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/914/914186p1.html

"Ultimately, while Gears of War 2 tinkers little with the original's formula, it pushes every part of the original package to even more epic realms. A blockbuster in every sense of the word, it's undoubtedly the biggest and boldest game coming to the Xbox 360 this winter."
