It took me three+ goddamn hours to beat 2-5 on god hard. Fuck. That. Hill. I stopped messing raging with god hard mode to finish hard mode, which was alright except the last two boss battles. :\ Back to god hard mode, I'm currently stuck on 3-2. Fucking gold Gorgies.
ninj4junpei said:
The hill was probably the hardest or one of the hardest mission on GH tbh, took me a while too, those god damn respawns and instant exploding grenades against the wall. Keep at it!
Edit: The hardest missions for me were
the hill, the city square with the crowd and a tank at the end (I think that's where you're on), double bias, a cheap area with stupid snipers and drill romanovs, and last boss

I just got to the snipers and romanovs part. So much fun. -_- The city square part ended up not being so bad for me because I abused the fuck out of the terrain. If you get inside the back of the troop transport, you are pretty much safe except for a gorgie or two that will attack you. Unfortunately, you have to bail the fuck out once the tank shows up, since it can and will attack you in it.

FFFFFUUUUU- At last boss fight, so close. I swear if I finish god hard I have the legal right to swiftly kick Shinji Mikami (and related developers) in the balls. I don't care if he directed Resident Evil 4. He deserves punishment for this shit. >:|

Picked this up at K-Mart for 20 bucks. Only put a half hour or so into the game because I want to beat Gears first, but I love how fast this game moves. So good. Looking forward to really investing some time later on. Started off on Hard Mode, not sure if that's such a great idea or not.

If it proves too much, you can always change the difficulty. There isn't a big gap between hard and normal, though.JacksUsername said:

I meant in terms of quality, not difficulty. Though it does have some bullshit moments, but no where near as many as Vanquish.Anteater said:Gears2 on insane is that much harder? (never played it)

Gears 2 on Insane is one of the most tedious games I've ever played. It's not even hard, you just sit behind cover and pump clips of ammo into each bullet sponge enemy after they pop their heads up from the cover they too are sitting behind. The lazy difficulty design in Gears 1 and 2 killed any interest I could've had in Gears 3 (I don't care for Gears multi).
Vanquish on GH was actually fun and challenging.

I think some of the areas could be done better in Vanquish, like the uphill with the respawns, and other maps with barely any room to move around, but I think for most parts it's really balanced and fun, the last boss and other bosses/enemies were especially really well designed, I hope they make a sequel and improve a lot of stuff, but I don't know if they will and it's probably going to be without mikami

You know... I'm finding this game kind of difficult, and a bit confusing. I just started, so I'm sure I'll get the hang of it. But it's a very different game than I used to. Feels kind of old school, but with new school looks.
I like it so far.

my memory is bad so let me know.madkiller said:
After I finished the last tactical challenge I erased the trauma from my mind. 20+ hours just trying to beat that shit. I don't like how the actual guides just brush it off as "fairly difficult". The last wave is virtually impossible for a casual gamer. But I really needed the achievement heh. It's like a badge of honor.

You think Vanquish on god hard is not tedious? I will admit that I appreciate that the enemy AI in Vanquish is far more aggressive on higher difficulties than Gears of War 2. The funny thing is I think Vanquish on god hard kind of forces you to play it like a Gears game at times, but the cover system is not as well designed which makes it even more tedious. It has its fun moments, but it turns into bullshit at times and when it does it really does. I love Gears of War 2's campaign even on insane. Perhaps we will have to agree to disagree.iconoclast said:
Can anyone explain to me the weapon upgrade system cause Im not sure if I really like it or maybe im just not getting the logic behind it...
Basically I want to upgrade the standard assault rifle so I dont use it as much so when I do find another assault rifle I am able to upgrade it, but Im really hesitant to use the weapons I want because it seems like your most used weapons will get upgraded the least.
It makes no sense to me why they went with this method of upgrading.

You can cheese it by just picking up a different weapon in the area, picking up the new weapon with full ammo, then picking up the old gun
Finally beat challenge 6. My god, what a pain it was. I could get to wave 5 with little issues and be left with the bogeys. But for some reason I was having a hard time dodging the straight laser which normally was the easiest to dodge. I would have full rockets, 5 emps, 1 upgrade and 1 lock on laser. More then enough to beat the challenge, but I kept screwing up. I must have spent +40 hours trying to beat it and in the end beat it in under 21 min.
Wave three is very easy if you know this trick. The area where you can get the lock on laser in the middle of the field is a safe point where for some reason none of the enemies will react to you. Before the round starts hide there and shoot the lfe at the spawning gorgies and you should be left with only romanovas. I kept getting hit by the shoulder laser from the left romanovas until I positioned my self to blow it off. From there you can safely shoot the romanovas by shooting of their heads or killing them out right. For some reason that phase use to give me the most trouble as well because the key to most phases is to wipe out the minor enemies as quickly as possible and that phase had the most number of tough enemies.

I give up. -_- I am never going to finish god hard mode. The final boss is just too fucking cheap.
Goddamnit, I want to break something.
I get so fucking close to finishing off of one of the bogeys, but nope.

Despite reading that I should go for the blue bogey first I focused on the red one. I still died a few times with the limiters deactivated. -_-

ULTROS! said:
Try the demo(s). The core is a bit like uncharted/gears of war on drugs with tighter/faster controls, the enemies designs are pretty much ones out of japanese action games (with special moves that you could roll and dodge out of the way).
The strong point is that the weapons are pretty unique and give you a bit of variety (albeit not many to choose from), like the LFE gun can knock enemies down and control a crowd close range, disc launcher allows you to melee without overheating, you could dismember some of the enemies as well, and they would react differently etc, put those together with Sam's flexible movement, ARS bar/bullet-time, stun grenades and boost among other things allows you to pull off fancy stuff which makes it really fun.

Put your snobby liquids into my mouth!
I was on the fence, but then I watched the trailer. First thing I see is this huge bearded guy with a gigantic gatling grunting "I'm gonna need a bigger gun" in a totally cheesy way. I closed the trailer and bought the game. Game oozes style, it's totally mindless fun and the mechanics are tight. It's RE4 on speed in a Gundam colony with robots, what else could you ask for? It's not the best Platinum game but it's damn good.ULTROS! said:

Challenge six can fuck off. I think my problem is I'm too conservative with my grenades. First wave is so easy, second not so much (fucking helicopter dudes). I made it to the third wave once, but goofed up. I hear it only gets harder. ;_;

I tried going back to Gears of War 2 on insane. Oh god, I forgot how slooooooooow it is. Not to mention the fucking dead zone. I swear they did it on purpose just so it wouldn't be so easy. Argh! I think I am going to have to wait quite a while to play Gears of War 3, well for monetary reasons as well.
Carbonox_Ratchet said:
Unless you've very good at Vanquish completing all the challenges might take you forever or actually be impossible. So try them first and see how you go before wasting time getting all the statues. If you're going to be stuck with 49/50 trophies you may as well be stuck at 48/50.
