No. You don't need a play and charge. It doesn't turn your wireless controller into a wired one. You need the wireless gaming receiver.

[quote name='dmaul1114']I may do that. Though I kind of like playing through once by myself. I'll just play on normal to make it less frustrating--doing Hardcore on the co-op play through, and we'll probably go through on insane eventually to. We got through hardcore and insane on the first one in split screen over the summer.

Local co-op is the shit. Will always beat online, as you just can't beat being in the same room pounding beers etc.[/quote]

Exactly what I'm doing. Playing though normal solo to get a feel for the game , learn the levels , ect. Then play though with my brother on hardcore/insane (may skip hardcore depending on how big of a difficulty jump it is between the two). And I also agree that while online play is nice , there's just something about local multiplayer/co-op that can't be beat.

On a unrelated to Gears 2 note , you know what sega game my brother has been playing the mess out of lately and really deserves a sequel? Space Channel 5. I've had the music from both games stuck in my head for days now.

SC5 does have a sequel, and it's like 10 times better than the original. I love both games, and would love to see another one in the series.
 
I never could get into those type of rhythm games...SC5, Parappa, Elite Beat Agents etc. I've tried them multiple times, but they're just not my cup of tea I guess.

I like the games with instruments (Guitar Hero, Donkey Konga etc.), but could never get into pushing buttons or tapping a stylus in rhythm etc.
 
Space Channel 5 is incredibly awesome. I liked the first game better though, mainly because they changed voices of too many of the characters in part 2. It's understandable why they did it, but it bothered me.

Plus for some reason I'm amazing at the first game, and yet I suck at part 2 :p

I meant a more recent sequel , since part 2 came out like what about 1 year after the first? Suppose I should have been more clear (my brothers been playing the 2 pack from the ps2 so it slipped my mind).

Funny thing is , although I kinda like the "rhythm games" better than the "music games" I too tend to be kinda crappy at Parappa , SC5 , ect. Then again I haven't really tried playing a lot of those games in a while so maybe I should try them again. Maybe my rhythm has improved since then.
 
350 headset is a complete piece of shit. Sounds like ass, isn't comfortable, doesn't properly fit on my head, gets tangled in my hair, feels like it's going to just break any second, etc.

What's a good replacement?
 
[quote name='DarthPuma']If anyone comes across Street Fighter anniverasy at Hollywood video please pick it up for me.[/quote]

I am gonna be there tomorrow, if I see a copy I will grab it.
 
I'm not here for a day and a half and people bring up space channel 5 without me? >_<

yes. I never got far in part 1 but part 2 was damn good... I was hooked. I have mostly everything unlocked in that game.

beat gears today... played most of it yesterday though at work with a friend. probably the best game to come out this winter for 360. I don't see anything else topping it besides fallout 3.

yeah, but it's unfair cause Fallout 3 is god.

(enter Zewone with "Gears 2 > Fallout 3")
 
fallout 3 is better I'm sure, but I've only played up to the point you leave the chamber... playing it on PC because I'm low on cash if you know what I mean and I don't mean because I mean it without meaning.

in terms of exclusives... Gears 2 wins 360 this holiday season... Wii = ??? ... Ps3 could have a bunch of different titles... don't know what though.
 
anyone kno a good filler item to go with getting the wireless reciever on amazon?

i have a $5 gc so i might as well get something
atm im lookin at a a black play n charge kit for $13.99 to go with it
 
[quote name='RelentlessRolento']played vigalante 8 demo... not as fun as when I played it on PS1... wai?[/QUOTE]

Dude, my friend and I used to system link that shit on PS1. It was pretty fun.
 
so far I'm not feeling fallout 3 but I can't have a valid opinion till I have a ton of hours in it... I initially hated oblivion but became overly obsessed with it after a while.

Finished Act 3 last night but could not go any farther cause I was tired as fuck. The research facility was creepy as hell though. Does the game ever end up giving more information as to what was actually going on there? I have my suspicions but if the game ends up saying I'll hold off on them till then.
 
Gears 2 is absolutely the shit. Played a good bit last night. Put a couple hours into horde with some CAGs, and only got to level 20. Then started up a solo campaign and got up to right before the research facility, so haven't made it as far as I did with my friend in co-op Friday night yet.

Then I hopped on and played a MP with some CAGs, fun but I sucked it up pretty badly.

PS3 has actually had a nice last couple months in terms of exclusives... LBP, Resistance 2, Motorstorm PR, Valkyria Chronicles, Naruto, Socom Confrontation, Buzz Quiz TV... and Bioshock/ES finally on PS3.

Again... anyone want to Horde? Horde makes me want Left 4 Dead so bad.
 
A lot of Gears talk. I'm kinda bummed I won't be playing it until the end of the month :cry: But I'll survive.

I picked up LBP yesterday after cashing in on GS's trade in deal. And I've got some extra cash this week to go with payday, so I'm probably going to grab Fallout 3 pending nothing retarded happens in the middle of the week.

I'm going to fire up LBP in a few hours once I get back up to school. I totally can't wait.

How's everyone else?
 
[quote name='zewone']But seriously, I had more fun playing Dead Space and Gears 2 than Fallout 3. And I really liked Fallout.[/quote]


lies.

nah, I can understand it. I love Fallout, but after sinking an embarassing amount of time into it (for me) last week, I had to play some more instant action games for a bit before I go back to it.
 
How long did the active online Gears 1 community last? I'm wondering if there'll be people to play horde with in a couple months when I finally get around to Gears 2.

It's still active. Just played this morning because I have yet to purchase Gears 2...dang

I played non stop from Nov 06 until the fall of 2007.
 
Gears 2 will be the most played live game until either COD6, Halo 4, or Gears 3, whichever is first.

Anyone want to trade Valk for LBP lol?
 
Gears 2 is soo good. Just got to act 4. Sorry to the people that wanted to play earlier was only on for a half hour before I had to leave.

Still picking up ME next week cause I loved the demo even though some of the reviews say it's repetitive. What game ISN'T repetitive.

Sadly now I'm off to work. Get off at 10 and hopefully finish Gears 2 tonight and do some online with cags/ggters.

Not Halo 4 , Halo Recon would probably be the first to possibly take down Gears 2. Key word here is possibly. Releasing the new achievements and announcing the mythic map pack seemed to rejuvenate the online community for Halo 3.
 
puma: you'd be wise to hold onto LBP longer. it's going to get insanely good in a few months. so far the planned patches, added content, and expanded level designs will make the thing huge-gumbouse. but at least if you do trade it do get valkyrie... at least its something good :)

genna play a few quick games of gears 2 now... glad this one has longer legs than the first...
