Anyway I am at the start of Act 4, and it is a very good game, but not quite at Uncharted levels for me!

 

I would agree with that, except Gears 2 multiplayer blows Uncharted out of the water!

(for those that don't know, Uncharted has no multiplayer).

So as far as campaign, I think Uncharted is better, as far as game, it's a tuff call. You get so much more with Gears 2.

Yeah, I haven't got to the Gears MP, so I'll wait and see on that. I am quite looking forward to playing horde!



I agree that Gears 2 campaign is the best this gen. However people who dont like films like Die Hard, wont like the story. Die Hard is a film with a simple story that has high production values and loads of blowing shit up.

That is what Gears 2 is. No groundbreaking story, but perfect fit for the style. The story is cliched (perfect) has one liners ( perfect ) and keeps the adreneline pumping throughout.

Forget the in depth crap that we seem to hype up like Bioshock or MGS4. Why does everything have to make you think and apply to society. Thank god every game and film is not like that.

 Your are of course entitles to your opinions, but I will strongly disagree. Both in graphics and gameplay. For me Gears 2 is top game this gen and Uncharted is not in top 5.



Gears 2 made me almost made me cry this morning. Only MGS3 accomplished a similar feat. It's a summer blockbuster movie on steroids. And it has a surprising amount of heart. Don't know how close I am to beating it, but I am loving this game right now.

Another game that is benefiting from sequel selling power. Unfortunately it will most likely only stand tall until the next shooter comes along and outdoes it by whatever margin warrants a revolutionary game this generation. Sounds fun, but length is always a concern... then again, most people aren't buying it for the campaign mode, online is what really sells these games.

These sales are not too far off from Halo3's launch, showing a likely overlap of userbases. I think most would agree this series is far more fresh than Halo anyway, but as the Halo fanbase starts to fray along the edges as people get tired of the redundancy I see this series being favored as the shooter of choice.

Let's pull MS out of your ass for a moment and come back to reality. Gears 2 was awesome, but not on par story wise, or graphics wise, as Uncharted.

As a fan of all gaming, I can say that. You hate everything Sony, so it's hard to look at your post objectively.

 I loved my PS2 not because of Sony but the games. I have alredy commented on the story part in another Gears thread so I wont do here. And if I hate Sony so much why is MGS1 in my top 5 games of all time. Fanboyism doesnt come into. The Gears 2 campaign experience was for me much better than Uncharted. I didnt diss your opinion, I stated mine was different.



Uncharted was a great game for PS3 owners who are desperate for good games. Uncharted however is not a generation defining game that sets any standard outside of the PS3's userbase. It was a game that despite its glory passed relatively unoticed under the radar.

I won't delude myself into thinking that Gears 2 is some kind of work of art.  I don't even think that Gears 2 is worthy of the many Game of the Year nominations/awards it will recieve in the coming months.  I will say this:  The game's presentation is second to none, and the story hits all the right buttons.  At least to me, the game is incredibly enjoyable, amazingly accessable, and totally satisfying........and I haven't ever touched multi-player in Gears 1 OR Gears 2. 

Just like "The Dark Knight", this isn't the greatest gift God has blessed us with.  But there's no harm in loving a product that's meant to cater to a mass market, is there?
