It may be better in context, but it looks like good game / weak story / cliche writing and 'muscle men' emoting all over again... but then that's why it has a 2 at the end of the title after all? Did folks really expect it to be that different from the first one?

Also if you plan to buy game then try not to look of course... I'm not so I figured what the hell. Oh, and it's not that bad so have fun with it.

I expected it to be bigger, better, and more badass.  That's what the creator of the game said.

He didn't say horribly crappy storyline.  lolxD

This is coming from a guy that never beat Gears of War :)    Why malign the story when you never beat the game on your 360?

 

Because I've played the game right through on a friends 360 (see PS3 owners and 360 owners can be friends if they're mature enough!).  And he's played through MGS4 on my PS3, but that's OT.

 

So I'm maligning it because I've played it and its weak, derrivative, is written poorly and has a bunch of characters who lean towards the 'non belivable' side.  I also borrowed it on PC to see if the new chapters added much but they actually seemed to make the story worse as they interrupted what little flow there was.

 

Gameplay wise I found GeOW superb, which is no doubt why it scored so well.  But the SP campaign is pretty poor when compared to fare such as Half Life, etc. which have excellent SP campaigns.  Heck, Portal is only 3 hours long and is around 100 times better as an SP experience from a narrative perspective (better writting too).

 

I doubt I'll bother playing GeOW2 right through as it looks too similar and from the clip it looks like its going to be great gameplay weak story all over again.

 

 

 

 



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
