    Maybe after we complete Resistance 3. =] It's crazy that I am currently looking at the game release calendar trying to figure out the best time to buy games to avoid having too many games on the go at once.

    I find this highly discriminatory to those who got max level through normal gameplay back when the damn game was fairly new.

    I still hate the idea of spending money to play online
    Didn't you play FFXI and XIV? Kind of amusing that you're happy to pay £10 quid a month to play one (shiet) game online but £3.33 a month to play however many of your xbox games have online multi is offensive. Especially when XBL is vastly superior to the PS3 online options. But whatever floats your boat.

    I played FFXI for three months and have not paid for FFXIV outside of the box so far. It all comes down to how often you use it and what kind of updates you're getting out of it. In an MMO, you get buttloads of changing/updating content streaming down to you and you can play with so many people at once for ages. With XBL, I have to pay to do something I can do for free on another console. This is the part I don't like. If it's free elsewhere, why pay to do it? I mean, if I pay for Playstation Plus, I actually get a few free games on a monthly basis and discounts on others. I don't opt to pay for PS+, though. It's not of interest to me. I just want the ability to play a game on a whim on a random night of the year with my mates when I feel like it. Should that really cost me? I paid for the game already. On PC, it will not cost me. On PSN, it will not cost me. But for some reason, on XBL, it costs me. And that's why I don't play XBL games with you guys at all anymore. The cost just doesn't justify playing a game online for a few hours on a random night of the year. I mean, at the very least, they could give an allowance to play a few hours each month for free. =|

    Oh, and that's all not to mention that if Danielle and I both want to play then we both have to pay. Which is stupid.

    Honest to god BoB, if you draw EoFF's PS3 fanboys into my thread about a glorious game and they tit it up with their usual drivel, I will actually filter the words "Loony BoB" to "Lonny Bob" FOREVER.

    Anyway, we've all been enjoying the Gears 3 trailers, but having fantastic trailers is a staple of the Gears series. Time for a trip down memory lane!

    gears of war (mad world) - YouTube

    Here is the original Gears trailer. I had just got my Xbox and was about done with Saints Row and Dead Rising and decided to buy a new game and I saw this on the ol' telly. I thought it was great and loved the idea of some guy standing steadfast and just blasting into some giant monster with his machine gun without either one flinching. So I bought the game based on this and knowing nothing else about it! It turned out very well. If it wasn't for this, I wouldn't have nagged DAAAAYN and SIR STEVEN of GLOW into getting this game... and who knows what joviality we would've missed out on! Apparently the instrumental for Mad World is background music in Gears 3.

    Gears of War 2: Last Day (Game Trailer) - YouTube

    Given that this is a game featuring a gun with a chainsaw on it, absolutely visceral curbstomping and the most incredibly brutal headshots I have seen in a video game, the trailer does not reflect that at all! There's no action whatsoever. Even the King Ravens don't crash! It syncs up to the music perfectly, and the tension created showing Marcus and Dom going down in the grindlift is great too. Plus Baird only appears briefly as a silhouette

    So there you go, I am that determined to distract from the "I DON'T PAY TO USE AN INFERIOR ONLINE SERVICE ON AN INFERIOR* CONSOLE" argument that I am willing to discuss the artistic merits of trailers for 5 year old video games.

    *don't hit the reply button to argue this, because if you do you are wrong. Your console is inferior and mine is the destiny of all mankind. My corporation is better than your corporation. It's time you faced that fact and committed ritual suicide to avoid dishonour.

    As one of those PS3 fanboys, I will say that Gears is one of the reasons I'm kind of sad not to have a 360 anymore, as they are in fact pretty rad games.

    I've played 1&2 and they're pretty great. If I bought 3, would I be able to play with you guys? Like logistically speaking?

    The reason I'm asking is, when I tried to play Black Ops with my cousin in Switzerland one of us always got booted for excessive ping. Have you guys ever played with North American gamers before (on gears obviously)? I have a 50mbs down and 20mbs up connection so speed shouldn't be a problem (atleast I think).

    We've played Horde with the likes of JKTrix who lives in Bermuda, so it shouldn't be too problematic.
