Gears of War

You think so?

Hmm.. I think a game like Crysis is easily more complex than Gears of War.

Is there a Crysis thread here?

Definitely, but Crysis will chug even on the best of the best PC's out right now, plus the game isn't coming out until next year.

I agree that we would be able to play it but a game like this needs a good system to run it on. If you have a PC you have internet, if you have internet youll want to play games online and for me games like these would not run well on low end gamming PCs. I also dont think anyone has really learned how to use more than 1 core at a time.

I wonder if this game will be as lengthy as Halo tho?

I dont think so.

It's really hard these days for FPS developer to create games that are intense and exicting every minute for 20 hours. I'm thinking the game will take roughly 10-12 hours to play through.

Plus I heared the multiplay is fantastic.

A lot of people think 10 - 12 hours is "short," but it's a very decent time for a FPS. Halo only had 8 - 10 I believe, and look how well that did 😄

This game is going to rock socks for sure, no question about it.

Yeah, Gears is supposed to be 12 hours on average, I believe.

A 12 hour game is fine for this type, since there will probably be some replay value, and some great multiplayer.

And I'm also playing it on Hardcore when I first get it, to drag it out even longer 😱

A pic of the Limited Edition Collectors Tin case:

Good stuff, I'll be getting the regular edition, though.

I was thinking of getting the regular copy...but you know me. I'm a collectors/limited editions buying whore.

I always felt Collectors Editions to be an waste of money.

But oh well.

12 hour game is perfectly okay with me, especially if the actions never lets up.

WD, you going to get Xbox Live anytime soon? I'd love to play this game with you over live when it's released.

Im getting the regular version and by the way I need to change my live account name.. it sucks.

No XBL this year my good man. 🙁

I can't even play CS (where I really want to take you on) with my PC right now. But eventually we will meet in a sudden death match soon.

*crosses fingers*

Ah, boooo!

Someday, our forbidden love will be allowed to blossom.

So pumped for this game, I thought I'd make myself a signature for it!

Tell me what you think guys!
