Forums - Gaming - Gears and not God of War deserves the acronym GOW.

Squilliam my friend it is incredible.

After repeated warnings, a couple of rick rolls and a bunch of outright jokes, some people STILL dont realise that it's all been a wonderfully hilarious joke.

Dude, there is no fight. people use Gears for Gears of War.

That we are having this conversation is proof that that isn't true, not in every case.

This conversation is proof that Squilliam can successfully launch a thread that claims 360 superiority to the PS3.  As previously p[ointed out and even confirmed by him, he just wanted to point out the sales numbers as if that proves anything.  I could easily point out that game A on PS3 outsold game B on 360 but that doesn't mean the PS3 game is better and deserves anything for it.

When people talk about God of War, they always use GoW (unless you are Starcraft in some other thread about it just because he's trying to prove some point).  when people talk about Gears of War, they sometimes use GeoW, GoW, or Gears.  When talking about the game in spoken words, they use Gears.  There's very little chance that GoW will not be used for God of War in the future.

 

 

 The funniest part is there's simply no other reasonable way to abbreviate God of War. Is it God, GoOW or GoWa? LMAO. God of War will always be GoW, doesn't matter what people choose to abbreviate Gears of war as.

"WAR is a racket. It always has been.

It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives"---Maj. Gen. Smedley Butler

yeah, starcraft, it's all a joke. The guy uses sales numbers to "prove" which game is better all the time. That's no joke.

Where on Earth did he attempt in his OP to prove GOW was better than God of War?

All he said was that one series is bigger due to it's sales.

You need to calm down and have a glass of water my friend, you're imagining things.

GOW is an abbreviation for Gears of War.  I don't even know what this "God of War" thing you speak of is.  Never seen it.

Sorry you might have missed it during your absence. Squilliam has flat out said that he thinks sales prove quality of games. Look it up. He also said, in this thread, that he just wanted to point out sales numbers. I'm trying to reconnect those 2 thoughts...maybe you can do it for me.

I'll back you up Squillium GOW for the win!!!

Yeah, I have to agree. GoW=Gears of war.

Doesn't sound like Squillium.
