God, I hope they just let this franchise die a good death. I love Gears, but I feel like they're going to pimp it out like Halo 3. Midnight launches, Mountain dew, etc. And that's all any media outlet is going to be reporting. After this one is the same as the last, I hope that they end the franchise, and move on to another genre to exploit.
Wait, so you want Epic to end an excellent franchise because its gonna be so pimped out? That's rather ironic from your side because you're not only using an avatar and sig from a franchise that has been "pimped out" since 7 but on top of that the images are from the version that has been milked out the most by Squaresoft. Is this hypocrism at its best?

 


lol so true.  For someone who loved gears it seems odd you would want it to die lol.  Personally I can't wait for part 2 with hopefully 4 player co-op and more multiplayer goodness.  Not sure why anyone would have a problem with a game being pimped like the money is coming out of their pocket lol.  Top two games for me this year are Mario Kart and gears of war 2 :)

 Am I the only one that thinks it hilarious that a guy with avatar of Cloud Strife of Final Fantasy of all series is worried about Gears of War being pimped out? Gears of War game out in 2006. How many Final Fantasy titles have been released between when Gears of War launched and now?

Hey now. Let's chill. I love Gears one as much as the next person but let's be honest. Final Fantasy has never had midnight launches. It's never been the face of mountain dew. It has never been covered on the news or anything like that. But Gears, and especially Halo 3 had all of those things. I don't mean pimping like making more of the game, I love the game, Epic can make as much of them as they want. I mean all the advertising and whatnot that's gonna come with it. Not a day went by last September that I didn't see a commercial for Halo 3. and the months leading up to it weren't really any better. It felt like a year long launch, rather than one actual day, and I don't want it to happen again, and again I state, that's never happened with a FF.

No, I agree that it's hilarious.  Final Fantasy is a series that is unquestionably far more whored out than Halo 3.  I used to love Final Fantasy, but gave up on it when the God-awful Final Fantasy 7 was released.

gamepro maybe suffering epic fail

@ TBFJ

Seems that you missed my post, where I clarified what I meant by pimping a game out, like Mountain dew bottles, ungodly amounts of advertising, etc.



DMeisterJ on 05 February 2008

Also, how do you know I love FF? For all you know I could just like the artwork of cloud. Maybe I'm GBallzack and I love how cloud looks, maybe I just liked this pic? For you to make an assumption about me solely based on my avatar is very wrong. So since you don't have an avatar TBFJ, you must be invisible right?
