After playing the first one, I don't need a demo. I know it's a bland, colorless, world populated with masculine stereotypes that only exist in video games and gay bars.

Pretty graphics, though.

Personally I don't frequent gay bars so I'm glad that you do so you can make these analogies for the rest of us.

I frequent gay bars, and I can confirm that Fenix is an archetype of those institutions.

Well...there isn't a point in making a demo for these games.Developers probably need to pay MS in order to upload stuff on XBLM.

But when it is certain that the game will sell millions of copies, why bother?

Actually, COD4 had a demo. Well, at least for the PC. I remember playing it and telling myself again and again how sweet the game was and how i was gonna buy it the moment it releases.

And meh, i didn't expect any demo for Gears 2. Demos only come out for avg. - crappy games. Big game developers don't really give a shit about demos anymore. Too scared i suppose. Sad. Very sad.

The demo will take too much time out of development? LOL

Who are these guys kidding? Are they afraid we might not like the game? GOW 1 was the ONLY Xbox 360 I've sold out of my collection... without a demo, this will be a rental for me.

No demo doesn't mean no beta bundled with some other game...

Obviously. Gears of War 1 is a good enough demo anyway.

No kidding. If you didn't like that one chances are your not having a change of heart anytime soon.

How come every time there's a post about a popular game a dozen people feel the need to come out and say

"HAY GUYZ I'M NOT BUYING THIS ITS LAME OVERRATED HAHA YOU SHEEP CONFORMISTS I'M SUCH A REBEL AND SO COOOOOOL AS CUCUMBER FOR NOT LIKING THIS!!!!!111111"

It's like the hipsters of the videogame community.

You're all so cool, way too cool for the comments sections of these articles, so just do everyone a favor and stay out because trust me when I tell you that nobody here cares about your buying habits.

You know how people in the music world feel the need to call other bands "lame no talent losers" while they go about listening to some old guy with a goatie screaming?

There the video games world version, E-Cool kids that think if they rebel against the popular and preach it everywhere possible they'll get some sort of social status. ;D

That's my guess at least!

There was only two real reasons I enjoyed the first one...

1) The cinematic parts like when you first meet a burserker

and 2) CO-OP (The main reason)

I actually played the first though 3 times but never alone ha... they are hinting at maybe 4 player co-op in the latest GI. If that happens I might, might, get it on release but doubtful. The first was great but think the second might not do as well.

I do not care one bit that Gears 2 is not getting a demo, just like I don't care that there was no Halo 3 or GTA IV demo. I know what to expect already and I feel that the only games that I want a demo for are new franchises.

Can 'demo' be substituted for 'beta' now?

I wouldn't put it past them either to release a 'beta'.

I say suck a nut to the posers/ posters that try to pretend like they are cool enough to resist GOW2 or COD4... which we all know is not true so go suck a nut.

This game is going to melt my face off. I still play Gears of War at least for an hour everyday since it's been released (just played about 3 hours ago). It's full of B-movie cheese,ridiculous and over-the-top stuff like chainsaw bayonets and buckets of gore. This is the stuff badass horror movies like Evil Dead and Dead Alive are made of.

Gears of War 2 will be the first game I will ever stay out a midnight launch for.
