PAX 2008: Gears 2 will not have a Halo 2-style ending

Shut up.Just shut the hell up and never mention that...that thing again!

Don't worry that has been burried with other traumatic memories.

It had a story?

November the 9th. Never forgive. Never forget.

Also, don't forget, Nov. 11, 2004, May 17, 2007, May 31, 2007, and June 8, 2007

...never forget...

Anyone who says Halo doesn't have a story has obviously never played any of the games.

Like premature endings, eh? ;)

I loved it. Also, I didn't feel short changed.

Halo 2 FTW.

I'm a dude, playing a dude, pretendin' to be an avatar!

Bloody thing ain't even out in UK till 19th of September...it's a shame coz Stiller and Black are some of my favourite actors...

Movie sucked.

In my opinion, this is one of Stiller's best roles in a while. Black is kind of like a "sideline" character in this movie, but he plays it almost perfectly. You get just the right amount of dosage with Black.

Downey Jr. steals the show, though. Seriously, he rocked it.

I haven't watch it but it can't be worse than Wanted.

Now if you excuse me I have to Bend explosive rats in bullet time.


HOLY SH*T.

What, you didn't like the "Loom of Fate" ?

I keep waiting for Al Mualim to tell me that the loom guides us all in Asassins Creed.

=)

Shenmue 2 as well.

1-I don't really get this. The first Gears of War had a far worse ending than Halo 2.

R-Well the story was printed in the manual by itself Gears of war was just a pretty game for late Xbox 360 owners basically the killer app that shows off your new shiny system.

2-With Halo 2, we knew it was nothing more than a build up for Halo 3, and even then, it finished the story arc it set up, which was the Elites disbanding from the Covenant, it was only after that we see the Chief heading back to Earth. Certainly not the best ending ever, but I don't see what the fuss is about really.

R-I guess players wanted to “Finish the fight” ;)

3-With Gears of War the game simply ended with what appears to be nothing more than a build up for another level, I quite honestly thought there was more of the game coming, until the credits started rolling.

R-Nah the achievement pretty much said Chapter 5 was the ending.

4-Unlike Halo, Gears had basically no story, so the cliff hanger didn't even mean anything. It's good that they won't be taking that route with GoW2, but they have no right to be taking jabs at Halo.

It had a story and it was in the manual but I guess some people don’t like to read.Halo2 well to be honest I was playing Neverwinter nights back in the day pawning the n00bs chilling out max when a couple of expansions were up to no good startin making trouble in my servers,I lost one little match and my mom got scared andShe said 'You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air'

I begged and pleaded with her day after day
But she packed my suite case and send me on my way
She gave me a kiss and then she gave me my ticket.
I put my walkman on and said, 'I might as well kick it'.

First class, yo this is bad
Drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass.
Is this what the people of Bel-Air Living like?
Hmmmmm this might be alright.

Both games had stories, GoW's just didn't make any sense within the game itself. GoW's ending was especially disjointed. Why the hell was that bomb even on the train? Where did the train even come from? Why didn't the Locust just stop the train? I mean, you're just playing along and all of a sudden the characters are like, "Hey, we need to jump on this train". Nothing was really explained at all, just a huge jump from getting the the tunnel maps to putting them on the mysterious bomb on a train.

I tend to avoid reading the achievements and things in the manual before hand, to avoid spoilers, guess that was my problem. :P

But my point still stands, it's cliffhanger ending was just as bad, if not worse than Halo 2's, they have no reason to be taking jabs at it.

You can't add a woman to Gears. That would totally ruin the sexual tension between Marcus and Cole.
