So i had the privilege to play and beat this game, abuse W1nTry's K/D before he got a chance to play the game =D. All in 4 days.

I must say i'm quite pleased i spent 20 mins in traffic driving in Chaguanas to get this game. The storyline was good, nice finish to the series. It stuck to the game's original style of game play. Game looks GORGEOUS on a system that's so old.

I despised the MP in gow 2, but in this one, i'm more than impressed. I do however will argue the sawed-off is extremely OP and a big advantage to those with good net connections. And with all the unlockable skins and characters, its an achievement whore's wet dream.

Messiaah, u hadda get a xbox. PC or not, this game is def worth it.

Read my last post and reply!!!

I am  looking at getting on now, but i need to know if d 4gb going to cut it or not, for 200$ i mite be willing to buy it just for gears 3.

They apparently removed the large HD's from the new models to save space and money on production. It is significantly smaller and lighter than the original 360's. The 4GB is internal storage (really not much) but you can use USB keys for storage as well as i believe there is a purchasable HD for it. *Waits for Redlum and W1nTry to enter*

The question is, when will i need a bigger HD than 4gb?
Can i get d 4gb and run gears comfortable, and study bout hd later?

And what about using yuh own HD in 360?

[VirtueTT]

LOL well there you go. USB keys ftw!

But the Gears DLC wont exceed 4GB, not now at least and even if, u can still use external storage to store things.

[MessiaaH]

Aparantly coudl buy d 4gb and put in ah HD later on, researching now to see if i coudl use any HD, cause i have tons lying around.

That video mentioned something about two 16 gb HD's.. So im not sure if it's limited to that or thats just addition to getting the the 250gb xbox.

^This is a 250gb HD made for the Xbox 360 slim version.

@that last vid - hmmm..

[TriniXaeno]

I have a 4gb and a 250

both work just fine.

I'm no where near the capacity limit on either.

However, if you like to download your games from disc to the drive to save the lens (and increase load times) then you'll definitely want the 250gb (or a bigger hd)

[MessiaaH]

well i juss want to get my teeth in gears, so 200$ ftw, if playing plenty gears, go jus get d 250gb adon drive, and talk done.

[MessiaaH]

I doh know why they doh release gears 2 and 3 on pc nah.

I load d HiRes and DX11 patches on crysis 2 today, flick on ultra settings, and run that game, it look truely amazing. @ 2560*1600 meh fps was like 40 doh, so ah set it down to 1920*1200, to get meh constant 60. But shit, i that game truely impressive. PC Graphics pwns all.

But i doh think we ever going to see gears 2,3 on pc ...sigh.

[VirtueTT]

As depressing as that is, we must remember the whole long story of the PC curse. Expensive investment, smaller market, subjected to hacking/piracy, cost of porting/developing for PC  and the list goes on and on.

But i do assure u Messiaah, the game looks and runs great. So did Crysis on the consoles as well. This coming from a man who abandoned the consoles months ago to seek the inner asian and play games like SC2 and HoN (BC2 in there too but doesnt require asian powers lol).

Another upside of its worthy investment, there are 100+ trini's on Xbox Live. Every night i've been on for the week, men line up to play gears. Full local games and men on the outside waiting to jump in. You always have people to play with in the prime time. Can't go wrong there

[W1nTry]

What ^ said XD

[Redlum08]

Messiah getting a 360?! No wonder I see a pig flying this morning on my way to work...LOL

[MessiaaH]

Dont mis-understand eh, i still think 360 is balls, PC FTW. But them men just wicked keeping gears 2/3 exclusive, and gears 3 looking good enough to warrant sellin me d console.

I mite juss be playing gears on it doh, once game available for pc i hitting it their first.
But gears 3 is d first xbox game look like it justify buying d console just for that. and @ 200$ is kind of ah steal.

Ah eh hit order yet, but im leaning in that general direction. Need to get that gears coop fix in. And only coop games for d year again i interested in is rage/renegade ops.
