I only saw the regular ones, but I could be wrong.

[Edited on November 8, 2006 at 6:06 PM. Reason : this game is by far the Game of the Year]

GEARS AQUIRED. (garner).

Look

You fags need to get a grip on how this is done.

Don't look at the shit walmart in Garner, look at the brand spankin new made-for-rich-folk walmart at brier creek.

Furthermore, you should have done instorepickup with best buy earlier today.

If at this point you lack game, you suck and should wait till tomorrow.

bullshit

bestbuy's instore pickups suck cock because they rely on the instore monkeys to find what you're looking for before the stock can be confirmed. And if its a limited stock thing that they want you dont get it.

11/8/2006 7:00:36 PM

exactly

11/8/2006 7:08:16 PM

own it, on level 2... pretty sweet... entirely different gameplay than halo, more like Saints Row crossed with halo crossed with Time Crises 2(from back in the day)

the graphics are insane, the blood isn't very realistic b/c its overdone(on a 1080p 37" lcd sitting 4 feet back)...

I got my copy at a walmart in Glen Burnie, MD (aka the burn)... it was the last copy, I felt a sense of pride that will drive me to play it into the weeee hours

11/8/2006 7:08:47 PM

gameplay is more like GRAW i think

11/8/2006 7:09:54 PM

How does GoW look an a standard def. television set?

I couldn't exactly haul my family's HDTV to college.

I'm in for multiplayer...

This might help explain the issues we're having actually aquiring this game

Quote :

"Gears of War Shipments Miss A Few Cities News is coming in from cities such as New Orleans, LA, Cleveland, OH and Timonium, MD about delayed Gears of War shipments to thier local EB/Gamestops. Other states have also reported in about the missing shipments including Florida, Alabama, Virginia and North Carolina. EB/Gamestop is pointing the finger of blame directly at FedEx who apparently left a huge shipment at their hub in Memphis, TN. EB/Gamestop has even gone so far as to send their customers automated phone messages stating a "shipping issue" and warning people to call their local store before making an unnecessary trip. They assure that they will have the game in stock tomorrow. Personally, I think Mr. Cliffy B. needs to climb on his Segway or skateboard or whatever the cool kids are riding these days, and hand deliver those copies "

11/8/2006 7:53:01 PM

just got mine

11/8/2006 8:01:45 PM

pretty funny that EB games with all of their pre-order hype... screws everyone out of a first day game...

I walked right into walmart and bought a copy, vs the people that were WAAAYYY psyched about the game way back when and pre-ordered theres aren't playing...

Irony is a bitch

Speaking of Hype... I think this game may have been over hyped... Its a very beautiful game, but the environment isn't very interactive, "choices" are pretty lame... its hard (but I suck so I'd hardly go on that)... I'm waiting for my roomate to get home so I can see if its better with co-op... single person isn't fun

thats what i figured. should be fun. i surprisingly liked GRAW.

11/8/2006 8:18:57 PM

whats funny is when you pre-order you don't actually have to buy it cause you get your deposit back 100% if you cancel anytime

11/8/2006 8:21:32 PM

i rly want this shizzzzzzzz hopefully one of the gville ebs has some extras due to pissed people going elsewhere today?

11/8/2006 8:34:19 PM

i've been crushing people online all day. i'll get on at 10pm more than likely. cmoody is my gamertag. i murder people on the gridlock level. this game is hot...i have a test tomorrow then it's sucking me in. if i don't get on tonight it's because of that test, but you guys can add me and invite me to a game anytime i'm online.

11/8/2006 8:41:13 PM

ok im back from shit i had to do...im going online, hit me up...i played with some of you earlier...

CHRONIC NARNIA

also, i changed the video settings to vibrant and turned up the brightness a little...i like the dark colors theme that is default but i think it looks awesome on vibrant (on hdtv atleast)...

[Edited on November 8, 2006 at 9:00 PM. Reason : yeah]

11/8/2006 8:59:09 PM

11/8/2006 9:00:24 PM

Just got the last copy at the Target in Garner. Apparently an employee tried to hide one. Luckily, the guy behind the counter doesn't like said employee and sold it to me instead.

11/8/2006 9:09:57 PM

i was in a 3v3 match...a guy quit on our team before the deciding match...my teammate died within 45 seconds...i killed one guy running for the grenade launcher...killed another guy who ambushed me after that...and then found their sniper and won a cat and mouse fight with him...it was intense!

i'm waiting to play with a twwer...i'm not in a game cmoody is my gamertag

11/8/2006 9:39:03 PM

ktk golovko << Gamer tag

11/8/2006 9:49:49 PM

DUDE...THIS GAME WAS ALL OVER-HYPED...PROBABLY THE SUCKIEST GAME EVER!!











...because i don't have it yet

11/8/2006 9:56:33 PM

I sent MOODY and GUITARGUY an invite.

11/8/2006 9:57:06 PM

me and Golovko were murdering fools...it continued when you left man...

i had 300 and some points and the closest to me was like 80

i gotta study for my test now though

tomorrow evening i'll be playing this hardcore if you guys want to play...maybe we can have some peculiar setup and use the filter to get us all in a ranked game

[Edited on November 8, 2006 at 10:50 PM. Reason : gow > halo]

11/8/2006 10:46:09 PM

think ill rock this in january when i actually have money and no need of something easy for ppl to get me.

11/8/2006 11:03:19 PM

what's the song that goes along this promo on tv?

11/8/2006 11:17:56 PM

gary jules- mad world

11/8/2006 11:19:32 PM

that song is amazing. stupendous, even.

and i like the cover better than the original

11/8/2006 11:25:28 PM

Quinn and I played this coop for like three hours straight.

Its fucking awesome.

11/9/2006 12:11:20 AM

^engin you and Quinn add me, i'll be doing some heavy playing tomorrow late afternoon and this weekend

gamertag: cmoody

11/9/2006 12:18:59 AM

word

11/9/2006 12:23:27 AM

maybe we can get the two of you guys and me and Golovko on at the same time...we were rolling earlier...i have this stupid bus 572 - MPC - test to study for now though

11/9/2006 12:25:58 AM

im in to join you two moody, i had to watch southpark at 10 so i bounced off real quick but as soon as it was 1030, i was back on.

its so awesome, the hype was right.

11/9/2006 1:13:41 AM

i couldn't communicate with all our team when we were playing...we ALL needed to blitz the sniper rifle and it would end up being me and you...

11/9/2006 1:31:25 AM

^ do you have this game yet chris, if so.... im coming over sometime soon

11/9/2006 1:33:38 AM

^read the thread thor...i've been killing people all day

i need another controller or two...donate a control and you'll have a permenant spot...i'll provide the system, the hdtv, and xbox live

dustin and rach are going to the beach this weekend and sat night i think chris mendler and john might come over to play so you could come and we could have 4 people to get in games on the same team

11/9/2006 1:36:01 AM

i havent tried but can you take a 2nd person on xbl with you (in non-ranked matches)?

11/9/2006 1:36:57 AM

^^ you could have been playing and killing people at someone else's place...

but yeah, I'm off saturday, so at the least I'll prolly stop by.

11/9/2006 1:38:53 AM

^sounds good man...just call me up

^^i hosted a non-ranked game and invited Golovko from the main menu...so if it's non-ranked you can get all your friends in the match - you can also make "private" spots if you know people are coming

[Edited on November 9, 2006 at 1:42 AM. Reason : friggin sweet]

11/9/2006 1:42:09 AM

^i don't know what all of that means...

I just want to see how sweet it is and kill some bitches.

on a related note, Katz and I had a Goldeneye showdown today, because "he is the best ever"

out of 5 matches, I won all 5. Poor Katz.

11/9/2006 1:45:46 AM

ok i have to stop now and go to bed but damn it, i havent sat down and played a game for 5 hours straight since Quake 2


this game is fucking awesome and fuck anyone who says otherwise

Gameplay is so well done

[Edited on November 9, 2006 at 1:48 AM. Reason : gnite]

11/9/2006 1:48:08 AM

Golovko had died and i was left with 3 guys trying to kill me...i sniped one right as he was picking up the grenade launcher, got ambushed and rolled back a few times before killing the second guy, and then had a cat and mouse shootout with the last guy before cutting him to pieces with the chainsaw...it's intense man.

it's ALL about your team...i can handle pretty well when it's 1v2 or even 1v3, but if they play together you are gone...Golovko and i had some good junk going...he'd cover me as i grabbed the sniper rifle and then we'd set up and he'd get my back and be the spotter...i'm addicted to this damn game and i have a test tomorrow...i wanna stop studying and play.

and does katz ever win at anything?

11/9/2006 1:50:30 AM

he is pretty proud of his accomplishment last night. He stole griffs date...fucked her in his car. and this took place in the parkinglot of their apt. As in...they couldn't wait to walk in. He does get some credit for that. Chicks dig that whole "frodo" look

11/9/2006 2:30:33 AM

Almost beat single player tonight once starting around 9, 9:30 by going through co-op with a buddy.

It was fun as hell.

I played a few games online, also sooo awesome. Just gotta get used to aiming a little more, but I love the emphasis on teamwork.
