Gaming - Uncharted vs Gears - View Post

^^Please play GeoW2! You owe it to yourself.

U2 was a movie. There was more than one puzzle (maybe even in the tutorial) where the game won't even let you choose where to go. You couldn't even jump to your death. You just had to keep banging buttons on the controller until you pressed the one that the game wanted you to press. Sometimes, it wouldn't even give me a minute to figure out what I needed to do before the answer would pop up on screen (I wasn't stuck! I was looking for treasure!) It was fine at first (and more accessible to non-gamers, I guess), but those scenarios cheated me out of my "Aha! That's what I'm supposed to do!" moments.

U2 is an interactive movie. U1, GeoW1, & GeoW2 are games. Personally, I prefer games.

Yeah, I do want to play Gears 2, its the lack of money issue for me at the moment that's stopping me (I have an NTSC-J 360 and I live in PAL so importing is kinda annoying too). I'm not even sure if I'm gonna get Modern Warfare 2 and I've bought all the CoD games since the franchise started.

As for Uncharted 2, I agree, sometimes the hints would come up too quick, but you can always turn that off in options.
