  •  Pumped up & button mashing... (none / 0)

    The guys in my room were all talking about the mashing of the B-button for the chainsaw dueling and it's pretty much what it has to be.  Using another scheme such as random combos that flash on the screen would just take away from the intensity & focus of the action.  Since it's rumored that other players can interrupt the dueling of two players, it makes that button-mashing mechanic fit even more.

     I wish that Papi hadn't signed off last night because I'm sure everyone would have wanted to get his take on the gameplay reveal.  GTA 4 didn't even stand a chance for our FFF-game last night.  Not a chance at all.  In fact, I suggested that we bounce on over to GTA 4 because we could use it as a 16-player lobby to talk about the Gears 2 gameplay.  However, I was shot down because some of the guys stated that the enthusiasm from everyone would have been made it too difficult to talk in an orderly fashion.  Regardless, all of us couldn't wait to talk it over with our fellow Gearheads.  

    Hypnos (Joeycorpse) put it best when he stated that it was great to be talking about a game with so many fanboys in the room because there's barely anything negative that was said.  Hahaha.

    Gears is MY Star Wars!!! Wooohhh!!!

    •  I stayed on until (none / 0)

      a little after 10 and when no invites were forthcoming, I decided to fire up my PS3.  I played the Haze demo and Warhawk for the first time.  Warhawk was actually pretty damn fun.  They have dedicated servers and you can choose to go into the newbie server and play against folks as green as you.  The animations are kind of lame and the Warhawks aren't that easy to get kills with (I used the rocket launcher almost exclusively and went on a rampage with it).  But I actually really enjoyed it and think I'm going to play some more.

      You guys all caught me off guard by being on Gears last night.  I immediately fired up GTA assuming that was what Machete was sending me an invite to play and by the time I realized it wasn't, the room was full.  I really can't stand the limit on the number of people in a game.  We almost always seem to have too many for one room and too few for two rooms.

      As for what I think of the Gears 2 footage, I'll share that soon enough ;-)

      •  Yeah, papi, I was driving around in (none / 0)

        Liberty City with my nephew, and then by the time I set up a Gears room, you were gone.  Missed opportunity.  Too bad. :(
