Look if you compare Gears of War's cover system to crouching in First Person Shooters I don't know what to tell you.

But this isn't strictly about game quality, it's about sales. Right?

Yup, exactly. I shall remain on topic.

But this topic is dead, there isn't exactly any new information or participants really...

Hrm, yes, right you are.

Shall we argue about the relative virtues between TPSes and FPSes while the proper PC gamers pull their hair out, then?

For extra irony I can play Fallout 2 between replies.

Fallout 2 needs to be played multi-monitor. That way you can surf the net while waiting for the bad guys to finish their moves. Seriously didn't finish that game when I got into a section where they kept coming for ages and if one got off a lucky machine gun shot you're toast. One hit kill... Thats a lot of waiting to be one hit killed.

 



Tease.

Because God does not will it. It says so in the bible!

This is a big part of why I took as many perks as I could to make myself as lethal with small arms as early as possible in the first game. I always scoped out whoever had machine guns and then I would shoot them in the face.

I was in the reacter area and the ghouls kept turning hostile for NO reason! I mean I fixed the reactor, I didn't blow it up... Sigh.

Ya those machine gunners are evil and lethal, and I think there was a bunch of bandits where they would rush from off screen and they pretty much all had machine guns...



Tease.

Man that must have sucked.

Shame you didn't have that perk from Fallout 3 that refills all your Action Points every time you make a kill. I bet that would have been pretty handy.
