Five Reasons to Purchase Gears of War 3 Over Uncharted 3

PlanetXbox360: "There's no denying that 2011 will go down as the year with some of the biggest head-to-head battles in the history of gaming. With Battlefield and Modern Warfare duking it out for the envied position as the year's best military shooter, there are a number of other genres facing similar competition, most notably the third person shooter category. There's really no question that Uncharted 3 and Gears of War 3 are the front runners in this category and will be competing for our time. Before you all start chewing my head off, I realize that these are two very different games, and while Uncharted is much more of a platformer and Gears is a more tactical and competitive shooter, the reality is that gamers not only have limited time, but they also have limited funds. So I'm going to break down for you why Gears of War 3 is the better choice if one should find him/herself in such a predicament."

[EVILDEAD360]

It would be easy to bash PlanetXbox360 for starting the inevitable flame war, but it would be hypocritical. Game Trailers is doing exactly the same thing. Pitting Games against games (includung these two).

Two different consoles two different games..and the truth is Gears of War 3 dropping in September won't effect Uncharted 3 in November.

If you own a 360..Gears HAS to be at the top of the list for must buys..

If you own a PS3 why on this planet earth would you not get Uncharted 3..

Epic and Naughty dog are simply the cream of the crop for what they do..

Gears 1 and 2 are hands down two of the best co-op experiences this gen. Gears 3 has jumped into Halo territory and will be 4-player co-op for the first time..There are too many things to list that make Gears special to gamers..but Jeez was Horde mode f-ing fun or what?

Uncharted and later Uncharted 2 buried Lara Croft in the sand. (she's only know popping her head out for air). It not only got the adventure game technical stuff right (controls, camera etc.)..the game absolutely revolutionized what great voice acting was about. Uncharted 2 felt like an 8 hour blockbuster summer movie that you didn't want to end. At it core, Uncharted 2 was easily one of the best single player cinematic experiences this gen.

I'm glad I don't have to choose beteen them. I'm getting both day one. But I will say, I'm damn near on the fence about getting that Marcus Fenix statue for 150 dollars..lol..D@mn you Epic!!

[RayRay36]

So what if GT does it too? So its okay? Its not just 'Gears 3 vs Uncharted 3', its which one you should buy. Really? The author of this article is pathetic.

[EVILDEAD360]

@ RayRay36

So what if GT does it too? So its okay? Its not just 'Gears 3 vs Uncharted 3', its which one you should buy. Really? The author of this article is pathetic.

I said it's hypocritical to bash them when GT is doing it right now. In fact, you are calling the author 'pathetic' because he favors Gears..

Two and a half weeks ago the article "Uncharted 3 Beta vs. Gears of War Beta' came out on N4G.com and the author gave 3 reason why he thought Uncharted 3 was better..and just as predicted Ray Ray comments were completely positive for THAT article.

Again..it's easy the see through hypocrisy..but we all know where the energy comes from

This article is FAR from the first to do it and FAR from the last. My point is GT an established site is doing it and deserves the same criticisms right or wrong

Evil

[firemassacre]

uncharted 3 and gears 3 aswell,although i prefer uncharted 3 for many reasons i dont want to miss out like a tramp.

rayray, yea ita obvious he is going to favor g3.

[RayRay36]

Do you see what Im saying? I couldnt care less if the author was comparing the two, opinions are opinions. But he's telling which game you should buy, coming from a website called PlanetXbox360. This is why the author is pathetic. You see, I understand the fact that people have opnions. This, is just idiotic. You act like theres only two websites doin shit like this.

[RayRay36]

"I think the Uncharted multiplayer is decent at best. It seems too average." I know, I was really talkin that beta up huh? Unreal dude.

[sdtarm]

really constructive article mods... :/

[milohighclub]

Not one of them is reason enough for me to buy gears of flaw over uncharted. Ps.3 of those reasons were online multiplayer.fail.

[Kleptic]

EvilDead360...I totally agree...get both if you can; get the one for the system you have if you can't...if you don't have either console...you're not doing it right...

as far as this article though...its almost like the author actually attempted to put something up that would easily be picked apart...certain pro's to Gears 3 are ridiculous...ESPECIALLY the last one, going on about set pieces and how great they are 'but' they will get old...so therefor its better to not have them?...I'm very happy that some people aren't making video games...

I enjoyed the pro for Gears 3 being that Epic figured out how to get their community features working better...and that somehow makes it something you should pick over another title...which NEVER had those problems...

thats a 'Gears 2 had network problems, Gears 3 won't, so buy it instead of _____'...?...In the real world that is called 'making shit up'...

[Godmars290]

You do realize that the difference between Gametrailers and Planetxbox360 is that one has Xbox360 in their title right?

Nevermind that both tend to favor the 360 when they do comparisons.

[gamingdroid]

Because your site focuses on Xbox 360, doesn't mean you can't do comparisons with games from other platforms.

Although the article made some good points since I'm a biased Gears fan and I enjoy online, but a balanced article usually also has counterpoints.

Bottom line, it all boils down to preference. So play what you like!

[mindedone]

I don't think you understand what hypocrisy means. It's hypocritical if GT were bashing planetxbox360.com for being biased, not the people who comment here.

Now it's a different story to claim that the commenters are being hypocritical by being biased themselves towards a console and then bashing plantetxbox. That is hypocrisy.

[I_find_it_funny]

this is why I dislike n4g

nobody needs nobody's stupid reasons for anything

[EVILDEAD360]

Well Said Kleptic..

And I'm not hating on Ray Ray..in fact I concede to his third point about the article unnessecarily plays on purchasing one title over the other.

But let's be real there are plenty of sites including, the PS3 and 360 sites that have done this ad nauseum in the past.

Either way..two day ones for me..Epic through the kitchen sink at Gears and Naughty D. are simply amazing developers..

The fall can't come soon enough.

Evil

Edit..@ mind..

Nope..I know exactly what the word is used for..

My point is as soon as I saw the article I easily could have gone into bash mode for it being flame bait or trolling for hits..but GT is doing the exact same thing..they are pitting titles vs. titles for which games you should buy..the last episode which airs next week will pit Uncharted 3 vs. Gears of War 3.

edit 2..

well said from gamingdroid..and lol @ Chug hitting it on the nail..It's good to see that N4G is starting to ignore falling into the flame fails traps that people would fall into..

[Shepherd 214]

Im wondering why anyone even cares that websites are comparing games. Theyre games, something to play and dick around with in your spare time. Why not just let these websites collect their hits and have fun comparing third-person cover shooters or modern battlefield FPS's?

Plus, you dont have to read the article anyways.

[Chug]

You can bet your ass I'll be buying Gears 3 over uncharted 3.

You wanna know why?

...Because Gears 3 will be out before Uncharted 3.

Once Uncharted 3 comes out, I'll buy Uncharted 3. And I'll enjoy the piss out of it.

Seriously though, this is pathetic.

[Impaler]

What I found funny was how the author says it will have a better online component that Uncharted, but says that Gears 1 and 2 were plagued with online issues like lag and slow matchmaking times.

Call me crazy, but I do not recall ever having these issues in Uncharted 2(it has been awhile since I have played), and the beta had slightly long MM times, but that was fixed in a patch.

Now I love the Unreal series(2k4 is one of my favorite MP shooters), but the fact that it takes Epic two full releases to fix these problems and Naughty Dog, who had almost zero experience in making online multiplayer, didn't says a lot about the studio. IMO of course.

This is a pointless argument like people say, but I still had to point out how the author shot himself in the foot with that "point" he made.

[stevenhiggster]

How about this:

If you have both consoles, buy them both cause they're both great games.
If you only have one or the other, then your choice is made, simples.

[Digitaldude]

point
5. True, co-op campaign is fun.
4. "Won't support a big online community" what the hell? It was Playstations biggets beta and U2 is playable even now, its community is fine.
3. Tighter online package? I can't see how you can compare, Gears has competitive and horde and so does Uncharted, they both havevery tight and long lasting experiences.
2. Horde mode is oh so sweet yes.
1. Those set pieces are one up on normal gameplay, Uncharted has sweet 'normal' gunplay as well, its a different experience to GoW competitive.

IMO the online's are different to each other and are worth playing in their own right. I'm getting both :D

[jeseth]

1. Because you only own 360.
2. Because you only own 360.
3. Because you only own 360.
4. Because you only own 360.
5. Because you own both systems and Uncharted 3 is sold out.

[Dee_91]

FEED ME TEH TRAFFIC !!

[badz149]

and for those comparing planetxbox360 to GT, at least the later doesn't have "XBOX360" name slapped in your face!

[NewMonday]

talking about a PS3 game in an Xbox site just promotes the competition

own goal

[Anon1974]

I'll be getting both, but if I had to choose, Uncharted 3 wins - no contest. My main reason is I'm all about the single player. I tried Gears online and couldn't stand it. It was like multiplayer for people with ADD. Everyone rush to the center. Match over in 50 seconds. Everyone rush to the center. Match over in 63 seconds. It was like the frag equivalent of basketball. A point every 30 seconds it seemed. I just like my multiplayer a little more in depth.

And that's were this article fails. "5 reasons why you should pick Gears. All of them multiplayer" What not just say multiplayer and leave it at one reason, if that's your opinion?

I almost laughed out loud when I saw "Better Online Community" Yeah, if racist 12 years olds are your thing. Sorry XBL, but that's something that PSN simply doesn't have the same amount of. And what if you don't like the Gears brand of multiplayer, or, like me, don't shell out extra for multiplayer because the PS3 does multiplayer for free.

Nah. Single player is where it's at for me, and in that case Uncharted has few equals. I'll be getting both, but this article is just extremely short sighted flamebait.

[tee_bag242]

Good points EVILDEAD360 and your pretty much spot on in my opinion.
I'm always amazed that for so many gamers/posters its always a one or the other choice, rather than both.

[Boody-Bandit]

I'm getting both day one!

[davekaos]

My 5 reasons to purchase gears 3 over uncharted 3.

1: I dont have a ps3
2: I cant afford a ps3
3: Whats a ps3
4: I love the old ass unreal engine (like cods engine)
5: I am a xbox fanboy

Thats the only logical reasons i can think of

[JsonHenry]

And I will give you more than 5 as to why you should purchase both.

[IcarusOne]

Exactly. Though not everyone has that option. But luckily I won't have to pick and choose.

It's funny how 4, 3 and 1 are all basically the same point - "teh online is teh shit". Horde and co-op are the only legit reasons he makes on that list. But like I said, I'll be getting both.

[andibandit]

@IcarusOne

Online really is the shit for a lot of players. I have a bunch of single player games sitting on my shelf that i havent even played simply because i would rather play online with my friends.

[lelo2play]

I will get Gears of War 3 and i will get Uncharted 3 (if it doesn't have PSN pass).

[solar]

i hope UC3 doesnt either. if it does, ill buy it used. i refuse to support Sony's online pass.

[Impaler]

You both realize the online pass comes with the game with you buy it new right? If you buy it used and want to play online you have to actually buy the pass on PSN.

Why is everyone so butt hurt over this pass? If you plan on buying the game on or shortly after release NEW, then YOU HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT!

[Bigpappy]

The biggest gripe for me with online pass and other restrictions on its kind, is that when I give the game to my son, I have to pay for him to use all the features. These games are $60. If they want to implement these schemes, they should drop the price back down to $40

[andibandit]

My main gripe with online passes is the statement it makes.

[poindat]

Why are gamers suddenly accepting this whole online pass garbage? I remember a few months ago everyone was up in arms about it, and rightly so. And suddenly there's no issue with it? Let me tell you, there IS an issue with it and those of you who simply accept it are the ones that are slowly leading gaming down the continuing trend of having to pay for things that used to be free, that SHOULD be free.

I'm with lelo2play and solar, I refuse to buy this new out of principle. There are plenty of other games to play online that don't force me to support this garbage policy.

[RedDead]

Gears buy, Uncharted rent.
Gears multi, Uncharted Single.
Uncharted multi beta felt average to me aswell. Naughty dog have only a tiny bit of experience with Multi, Epic has...well, a few Generations of it.

Uncharted is unfortunately coming out at a Bad time for me, I would pick Dark souls, Skyrim and BF3 over it in a Heartbeat.(same with Gears)

jwatt, resistance is a fast paced FPS. The gameplay is way to different, only the setting is alike, Uncharted is more like gears except is has climbing while Gears just has the cover to cover thing perfected. Gears is better cover to cover wise, but Uncharted adds vertical combat into the mix.

[TheDivine]

I agree kind of, uncharted is a singleplayer game to me, rent it and buy it down the road for 20 bucks. Gears is more multi although i like it best for co-op, awesome fun. Im glad un3 has more co-op and splitscreen and peeps sem to like the multi so far although i never got into the online in 2(its a single player experience imo). Im def playing both i dont see why anyon would miss out on either game. One console is so 2008.

I would acually LOVE campaign co-op in un3. Make it a special mode after you beat it, most of un2 had drake and someone else with him so it could work, look at how good co-op was in guardian of light. I know its different but the platforming puzzles would be the best shi* ever if ND pu their passion into it. Just reuse the levels with minor adjustments, id pay 15 bucks for dlc that did it maybe more

[chasedagreat]

sorry gears 3 beta was trash

[JeffGUNZ]

@chasedagreat

A comment like that makes a strong hint that you didn't even play the beta. Gears 1 was one of my all time favorite games, ever. Gears 2 multiplayer was flawed and it blew compared to the original. I nervously joined the beta and was blown away. When it ran on dedicated servers, it was flawless.

Realize too, that half of the games were on servers and the other half were P2P. This was intentional so they could work on their P2P as a reserve if the dedicated servers went down. But when you got into a lobby with dedicated servers, it was such an astonishing experience.

[jwatt]

Well it should be Resistance vs Gears!

[Kleptic]

nope...tried that in 2008...and it didn't matter then either...

[kingdoms]

-stupid article(like they hunt for this kind of crappy 24/7)
-get both(as if they would ever, hypocrites)
-these games are different( bring similar was the goal for a match up)
-fail article(because you don't like and know It's true, hypocrites)
-360 site(a dozen pro ps3 site articles a week are regarded as gospel here)

All this because what the dude said is true and you guys know it. PS3 fans would have no problems with something like this if it were reversed true or not it would have been a rabid bash fest in here.

[milohighclub]

You comment fails on so many levels, thought you were bashing the article until the paragraph at the bottom. Lol.

[DigitalRaptor]

All his comments are fail because he's a jealous 360 fanboy. He doesn't even try to hide it.

I don't see any supposed PS-centric sites doing similar things. But that's not really the point, is it? The only thing I seem to see from Xbox-centric sites lately are articles focussing on PS3 and its exclusives. Kinda sad.

Journalism? Pfffft, yeah right!

[PROJECTbadass]

these ps3 nerds are really butthurt over this one. if this was a pro uc3 article they would all be praising it.

i will get both, but gears mp will be getting play a year from now. after playing both betas, its not even a question to me which has the more competitive, team based, skilled gameplay, and its gears by a mile.

not saying i dont like uc3, because it is my favorite game on ps3, but the mp isnt as satisfying. there are too many ways to get cheap kills in uc3. i hate power plays. its just another crutch for bad players and teams. Power plays are worse than mw2 deathstreaks, becuse power plays actually can change the game. if my teams is 30 kills better than the other team , they should know it and not be rewarded for being bad.

either way i have both pre-ordered and will get both day one. its just that one will get more play than the other.

[BlackTar187]

another article filled with 360 fans crying about ps3 fans. You guys are ridiculous. You don't even accomplish anything but a sad puppy face :(

[TBM]

i'm getting both games, but i'm more excited for uncharted because of story, characters, and setting. gears is a great series but it's story especially after part 2 is just lacking imho, the setting is ok, and the characters decent. still like the series though.

like i said i'm just more excited for uncharted to me its a more round package overall.

[Zydake]

Why not both.. for the love of god why do you make people choose between these 2 if you have both consoles and like both series its most likely youll pick them both up

[refocusedman]

LOL LOL... honestly people how do you disagree with "............." Sometimes people baffle me.

[M-A-R-S-H-A-L-L]

...There must be wrong with getting both these days...I mean if you own both consoles, get whatever you want. This is flamebait.

[mastiffchild]

I've been full of praise for single platform sites recently and thought the chances of idiotic articles like this sullying their name was one of the few journalistic lows the gaming world was escaping from and then we get this bollox.

Apart from anything else it's sodding pointless! Anyone who likes Gears is buying it ANYWAY and I can't see there being many people with both consoles that are interested in one and not the other-if you like TPS and own both why in the universe would you fail to get both these gems?

There's preaching to the choir and then there's wasted column inches doing so and this is just that- a total waste of time which does nothing but make the site look daft.

[subtenko]

WTF do we only gotta play one!? I wanna play both games wtf is up with these articles..these shouldnt get approved...

I hope they are only trying to get hits because if they really think we should actually pick 1 of these two awesome games then they are just dumb..they will be missing out

Agree or Disagree if you Agree

[ikkokucrisis]

I'd get Gears if I had a 360.

If get a 360 if I didn't have to pay for online and had some assurance it wouldn't break on me after 1 year of use.

[yoge]

I totally agree with you.

[Scary69]

I need no reason to buy one over the other, they both come out on different months. So guess what BUY them both. Sheesh

[LastDance]

every single reasons is multiplayer... IDontGAFuck about multiplayer.

I guess he is saying gears single player is shit?

[NanoSoldier]

I stick with Gears 3. I would never trade in Gears for Uncharted.

[pain777pas]

Logic seriously you win with your comment of disbelief. Planetxbox should just relax. UC3 is next generation gaming at its finest for a TPS. Gears will be a hit with its fans aswell. My goodness what in the world were they thinking? You have just increased the sales and perception of UC3 as being superior by even trying to bury the game. UC2 was a revelation to me of what the next generation of gaming will probably bring. The running blur effects and the chainsaw are satisfying in Gears but the overall package of gameplay, story, memorable scenes and replayable SP are what make the UC series stand out. They are just amazing even the second time through the game.

[Adam2101]

all i see is one reason, better multiplayer ..

and now a sony fanboy will write "5 reasons to buy uncharted 3 instead of Gears 3"

then he will give us 5 reasons about how the main story is great ..pfff pathetic,THE FANBOYS! ugh!!

i love both , im getting both. each for a reason.

[BlackTar187]

better mp is opnion. Why you crying?

[Adam2101]

That's what im saying @blacktar187, im getting gears for multi and UC3 for single .. no need to troll asshole.

[zero_gamer]

I would love to get Gears 3 but there is no PC version for Gears 2 and have not purchased it. I probably won't purchase this one either.

[x5exotic]

the only cool thing about gears is that its abbreviated GoW3 :)

[seinfan]

Yeah, an attention seeking article, so I'm not bothering giving it a hit. I'm getting both games.

[WhiteLightning]

5. Co-operative Campaign

Not every game needs co-op, having co-op in the single player would ruin Uncharted and the single, "you against the world" feeling it gives you.

4. Better Online Community

No online community is perfect

3. A Tighter Online Package

"Let's face it, the first two Gears titles suffered from some serious issues online. From serious lag problems to an incredibly slow matchmaking system"

It took them two times to get it right, ND didn't even try, they just threw in Multiplayer and it was a hit.

2. Horde Mode

<sigh>.........co-op arena mode

1. Better Competitive Multiplayer

Does Gears 3 have co-op missions with cinematic experiences....nope. ND will be doing more levels for DLC, just you watch.

[DrRichtofen]

+bub you hit the nail on the head and the main reason why I'm gonna get uncharted is for non other than the single player campaign.

[Gazondaily]

Please tell me you are not comparing Gears of War's multiplayer and Horde mode to Uncharted.

Honestly, how deluded can you be?

[Ser]

Someone hasn't played Co-Op Arena.

[xPhearR3dx]

@DrakBlack

Co-op arena is not even on the same level as Gears 3 Horde, or Beast Mode. Uncharted 3's MP is average at best, it's a SP game at heart, not MP like Gears is.

[PirateThom]

Seriously, co-op Arena is basically hoard mode without camping.

[KeiserSosay4788]

I'm sorry DrakBlack but Arena is NOTHING like horde or beast mode (variation of horde)

[Ser]

Sorry, naysayers. I've played Horde Mode, and I don't see much of a difference.

[TheOtherTheoG]

Gears of War 3 is a better MP/Co-op game, although it's campaign isn't too bad, and Uncharted 3 is a better SP game, although it's MP and co-op isn't too bad either. Sorted?

[KonaBro]

Anyone saying Arena is not Horde Mode for Gears 3 is deluding themselves. After playing both betas, Gears 3 is starting to feel stale while UC3 felt fresh and exciting to me.

[NanoSoldier]

What are you smoking? Gears alway has some epic SP Campaign too!

[jetlian]

mode is now like a tower defense game. beast mode is a complete change in game style! they are nothing like coop arena

[Brownghost]

It's just an opinion calm down u don't have to follow it everyone has there own preferences

[tawak]

1 co op campaign
2 better online
3 better online
4 better online
5 better online
(know what i can make it 10)
6...7...8...9..10 better online
see 10 reason!
and what if my online is down or i don't have online?
so it sucks when i play it offline then?

[HeavenlySnipes]

but I actually prefer Uncharted's online. Granted I only played Gears 1 online, I thought it was kind of average. I hated how everyone was just wall bouncing with shotguns and shit.

I only played UC2 online for 6-7 hours (I borrowed it) and I was hooked. I loved that you could bring the platforming from the SP into the MP and that the maps were open and dynamic. (I was impressed when I saw the helicopter come through in that city map, and the tank roll through the Tibet Village map)

UC3 is bringing more cinematics than the last. Just look at the betas. UC3's was 10 days shorter but was played for 100 years more than Gears 3's in total. Add to the fact that there were the about same amount of players in both betas. How can someone then try to claim emphatically that Gears 3 MP is better. Many people including myself really enjoyed it. It only had 3 maps and was played that much. (With InFamous 2 released like 2-3 weeks prior to it launching).

[Gazondaily]

Seriously, how nit-picky are you guys? 6 people agreed with tawak. Really?? Honestly, you guys...

What if online is down of you don't have online? Well then maybe you should try not live in Mogadishu, Somalia.

There is a co-op campaign. The campaign is still great fun. But I oils easily make as silly as a point of yours tawak and say, what if you finished the campaign. Then what?? Are you seriously going to play through the campaign more than once??

Honestly, you guys need to wake up. As far as multiplayer goes, Gears d War is FAR superior. Unlike Uncharted, it isn't an afterthought. It is arguably the main focus of the game.

If you actually are going to argue that Uncharted has a better online component, then there isn't any point in a comments section on this site. You guys would actually argue that black is white.

Seriously 3.0

[tawak]

@Septic
i don't live at Somalia, i do live at panorama city,you know what, people has 101 reason to be offline. like me, i moved and travel all the the time. usually when we move you have to make an appointment before you can have your internet service provider installed your internet and phone. most of the time it takes a day till a week of waiting.
and this is only one reason..and are sure the 100% of people living in north America has access to internet all the time??..not!and is something really funny about Somalia? butt hurt basement dwellers cant live without cheeseburger for a day.

[andibandit]

"5. Co-operative Campaign

Not every game needs co-op, having co-op in the single player would ruin Uncharted and the single, "you against the world" feeling it gives you. "

Look,
coop is great...
if ND designed the story so that coop couldn't be
implemented it still dosn't change the fact that,
coop is great.

[WhiteLightning]

Co-Op is great if a game is built up from it OR if it fits the game....L4D, Borderlands, Fable, Halo

But if you try to include it in a single player driven game then it would ruin it....Resident evil 5 for example. Co-op dosen't need to be in everything, it can be a game killer.

[MrSpace]

"coop is great"

Wrong Wrong Wrong Wrong
Wrong Wrong Wrong Wrong

Your Wrong

Your Wrong

[Solidus187-SCMilk]

Ill be getting both for sure. Ill get U3 for the multiplayer, and gears for the SP/co-op.

I know dont tell me, backwards from what most people buy them for, im special.

[LOGICWINS]

Yeah I mean, why couldn't the title of the article just be "Five Reasons to Purchase Gears of War 3"? Simple.

[Why o why]

for hits

or

to insight a intelligent conversation ¬_¬

[Cyb3r]

Reason 1 if you dont own a PS3

[kneon]

That's not a good enough reason.

[dgonza40]

lol yeah just buy it to look at the box art :P

[waltyftm]

Article FAIL.

[Fishy Fingers]

Do I want chicken or tuna today.... Best go think of 5 reasons for and against. Or just get the one you want or even both. Greedy :)

2 hours max until "5 Reason to purchase Uncharted over Gears" blah blah

[-Alpha]

Tuna= smelly, oily, cat food

Chicken is clearly better. Chicken also carry their eggs and don't drop them on the ocean floor to let some random perverted male fish to fertilize it. Clearly, Chicken are the more ethical creatures as they care about their own.

Plus, what exclusive recipes does Tuna have? Look:

-Tuna casserole
-Tuna salad
-Tuna Fish Sandwich
-???

Compare to Chicken:

-Fried Chicken
-BBQ Chicken
-Chicken Sandwich
-Butter Chicken
-Chicken Breasts
-Breaded Chicken
-Chicken Casseroles
-Chicken Salad
-Chicken Pot Pie
-Chicken Fingers

The list goes on

Chicken also has its own Fast Food joints so it provides for families. Never heard of Kentucky Fried Tuna. Why is that? Because Tuna sucks. Unless you're a cat.

Don't be a diluted Fanboy. Then again, Fishy Fingers is your name so you're clearly a Tuna Fanboy

[KeiserSosay4788]

Lol, exactly...

[bloodybutcher]

i love sandwiches with tuna in oil,covered with mayo and tomato!and chickens,please...they present their behind to any dominant rooster.and as there is mostly just one rooster used as a insaminator,he just goes and screws around,heartless bastard.
speaking of games though,U3 for me at some point.simply because i own only ps3.not going to get it before end of this year though,tight budget and other circumstances force me to choose my games carefully.so it will be BF3 and probably Skyrim.

[Kleptic]

However...

You did leave out seared fresh tuna...you're lumping tuna to only the canned type...unfair...

chickens will peck at their own shit, and feed it to their young...While it is gross for a male tuna to splatter all over eggs to fertilize them...how is that better than a bunch of female whore chickens in one house (a hen house, literally!) all waiting to get nailed by the same rooster?...everything about chickens is feminine...sleeping around...lots of 'eggs'...you buy chicken 'breasts'...they are there to emasculate us...

I'm just pointing out that the answer to fishy fingers question...is beef...

[RayRay36]

Im hunrgy

[TheOtherTheoG]

Ugh, I've had enough of this chicken fanboy crap, you're so deluded and blinded by your fanboyness, it's clear to everyone that tuna is better, I think we can all agree on that, right :D

[Why o why]

TheOtherTheoG

YOU FAIL

Omega 3 owns all genetically modified chicken. You chicken lovers have been eating the clones of the same 10 chickens for the last 10 years. Bet you think all tomatoes are red too!! ptfff

[LtSkittles]

you left out tuna melts, but now I want tuna :3

[Fishy Fingers]

YES! So happy with how this turned out! +1 All.

@ Kleptic, I changed out beef for tuna http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[Convas]

Oh Merciful heavens, WHY?!

You can only get Gears of War 3 if you have an Xbox 360, and vice versa.

If you're a DualCO, what the hells stopping you from enjoying the best of both worlds? Gears of War 3 is out in September and Uncharted 3 out in November, that's plenty of time to save up enough to get both.

Sheesh, enough with the fanboyism. This just opens up the forum for trolls on both sides to have a fruitless war.

[Why o why]

get both.. unless you dont have the money.

both different experiences so go with your preference if you dont like both of them.

dont let web sites sway your decisions with

[Micro_Sony]

Bubbles - I can not belive that people have the money to buy both and will only limit them selfs to one enjoyment because of brand loyalty.

Loved Uncharted 1 and 2
Loved Gears 1 and 2

[Zynga]

Exactly because both are different experience of games with amazing gameplay. Oh man can't wait to play these.

[bloodybutcher]

and that´s how it should be.i am getting BF3 this year because i am unemployed and i have to choose my games carefully.BFBC2 gave me more value for money then CoD therefor BF3 the one i am going to buy on launch day.but i will get MW3 eventually,especially knowing that even after quite some time my friends still will be playing it.and since i prefer CoD´s SP and BF´s MP then the latter is the one that cannot wait:P

[firemassacre]

im buying both, why miss out on good games? and the headline is a definite fanboy war setup.

[LarVanian]

Source- planetxbox360.com

Very credible source.

[DrFUD]

They just think Uncharted is the top dog in Playstations line-up and want the reader base to feel better about themselves.
Sad thing is Twisted Metal and Resistance 3 will both be better than Gears 3 but they have to focus on one title or get overwhelmed

[Zynga]

"Sad thing is Twisted Metal and Resistance 3 will both be better than Gears 3 but they have to focus on one title or get overwhelmed"

Maybe for you but don't speak for others as if you think we feel the same. >_>

[newn4gguy]

But why WOULDN'T you feel the same?

Based on early previews of Resistance 3...the game is going to blow us away!

[Excalibur]

I have both so I'm getting both, see how that works?

BTW don't we have enough Fan Boi Pissing matches over standard articles, now we need the article doing it for us?

Be a gamer not a hater. ;)

[DarkBlood]

buying both you foo

[NealCaffrey]

I have both on Pre-oder.

[OllieBoy]

Okay, they convinced me.

...not

[demaine04]

I'm still going with Uncharted 3 over Gears but the article was interesting none the less.

[Raendom]

I agree with all five points but I still won't be getting either because skyrim is the only game I'll ever need thanks.

[Bladesfist]

Im not getting either, Wish I was as I loved gears 1 and gears 2 was ok, Uncharted 2 was one of the best singleplayer campaigns I have played in my life and it made me feel badass. Not sure which game is better though. Since im a PC gamer I guess its skyrim for me.

[Lord_Sloth]

My 360 has Tenchu Z, Fable 3, and Perfect Dark's HD update.. That's all I need for it.

[vishant101]

what are you smoking or is it sarcasm i cant tell

[Lord_Sloth]

I am serious. My PS3 handles the rest of my gaming tastes. Shooters just aren't my thing on average. Only a few will keep me entertained.

[gamingisnotacrime]

if no then they dont even have the option

lol

[Mustang300C2012]

0 reasons anyone should care who the hell purchases what. Especially when I have both pre-ordered.

[BlmThug]

Hes Opinions. Wont Affect Mine Or Any Of Yours At All Unless Your A Dumb Casual

[deadoralive1337]

How about five reasons to stop these kinds of articles, and five Reasons why both are good, and are worth your time. Uncharted and Gears of War are both different. Anyone who wants a hardcore shooter will go with gears of war, or if someone wants a excellent singleplayer experience will buy uncharted. Simple as that.

[Sharingan_no_Kakashi]

1.) You're an idiot
2.) You're Cliffy B
3.) You're an idiot AND Cliffy B
4.) You only own an xbox
5.) You hate your mother.

/s lol. Both games look fun tbh.

[Brownghost]

It's an opinion not fact STFU

[Sharingan_no_Kakashi]

For future reference. "/s" means "end sarcasm". It means I was joking. Calm down.

sorry there the fanboyism of everyone pissed me off

lol xD

[lex-1020]

That's about what they wrote here.
Here's the 5 reasons:
1)4 Player Co-op
2)Better Online community
3)Tighter Online
4)Horde Mode
5)Better Multiplayer

It seems like there are really only 2 reasons,

[Pintheshadows]

How about because you want to? Just a thought.

[lex-1020]

I'm sorry sir. This is N4G. Please leave your logic at the door.

[cochise313]

well too bad I don't have to choose. I'm getting both and H have a full two months to enjoy gears 3 until Uncharted comes out. The comparison between these two need to really stop. This is pure flame bait

[CrimsonSquall]

Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy would this be approved???

[divideby0]

^ so many words come to mind.. stupidity is the first, the sad part is that its allowed to stay posted

[newn4gguy]

Because the term "moderator" is defined loosely on this site.

[vishant101]

because this is n4g a place where owners of different platforms come to argue that their platform is better as they could only afford one console or they have brand loyalty. Anyone that actually think this website is for gaming news is deluding themselves.

[wenaldy]

LOL just ask the mod...

[Raven_Nomad]

Weird to put these two against each other. Gears isn't even the best franchise on the Xbox 360. Though it's clearly my most anticipated game this year. I cant say much for Uncharted, I own the first two but haven't even gotten around to unwrapping them yet.

I hear good things, but I also hear there are some lame puzzles and I'm not really into stupid riddles and whatnot.

Both are 3rd person shooters I guess, but Gears has been a lot more successful and steady, Gears 3 beta played much better, the online multiplayer will last longer for certain.

[cochise313]

Stop pretending you have a ps3. If they have lame puzzle why did you buy them? You're worse than Loner with the trolling. Uncharted can go toe to toe with any game and it would give them a run for they're money. Gameplay, graphics, story; it's second to none.

"I cant say much for Uncharted, I own the first two but haven't even gotten around to unwrapping them yet."

GTFOH you're so full of S***.

[Zynga]

Dude chill out, your obviously taking his comment way too seriously.

[FuRy_Gonzo2K8]

Uncharted 1 could go toe toe to with any game and win against all but a very few...

[nycredude]

"I own the first two but haven't even gotten around to unwrapping them yet."

yeah right.

[FuRy_Gonzo2K8]

Oh FFS you talk shite mate, why don't you tap the nose of one of your unwrapped uncharted games and let the bomb go off. Then, I want you to come back and comment on you're changed oppinion about the games that up until you comment again hadn't played yet.

[PirateThom]

While everyone is entitled to their opions, this can basically be summed up as "I think Gears will have better online". Uncharted has it's "hoard" mode and a single player build around single player and co-op built around co-op is hardly a bad thing.

[divideby0]

author and website just totally embarrassed themselves (and the pathetic part about it, they are to stupid to understand this) with this type of article..

they are NOT real gamers just a bunch of 9 year old
fanbutts....which is ok, but to publically show it...

I dont have to choose, cause I am buying them both.

and this goes the same for any site (or approver of these types of articles) regardless which side of the fence they are on

psst.. dont give a trash site like this clicks...thats all they are after at the expense of their reputation

[divideby0]

wanna bet the sole DA is the author of the article...lmao

[M1chl]

What is this?? How about buying both? There is a long time between them a they are pretty different games. Hate this type of articles, how could someone aprroved this?

[newn4gguy]

In other news...

Adventure Time FREAKIN' ROCKS!!!

Should we dance now?

I don't know, if you thing that dance is a proper reaction, than why not? : D

Five reasons to purchase Uncharted 3 instead of Gears of War 3:

1) I
2) Only
3) Have
4) A
5) PS3

[dragonopt1]

planetxbox360.com says it all

[PS360PCROCKS]

lol 56 comments in 19 minutes?! Haha wow. I'm going to buy both, that's what people who like good games DO!

[finnhima]

Is anyone noticing the trend of 360-centric websites taking the time to come up with criticisms of Uncharted 3 while boasting gears of war 3? Its ridiculous.

totalxbox360 or something made an article stating that Gears of war 3 would destroy uncharted 3 in sales, and stated that naughty dog should make the series available for the xbox360 or else uncharted 3 would flop.

And now this website comes up with 5 stupid reasons why they want you to take your money and purhcase gears of war instead uncharted 3 like a fucking fanboy cheerleader.

Great games should speak for themselves and when people with websites pull shit off like this, it shows nothing but fanatical desperation. So you KNOW Uncharted 3 must be good if you've got websites stooping this low to deter sales.

[bangoskank]

If you truly love video games you'd be missing out by not playing both. If you're a fanboy suit yourself.

[Gordo789]

I truly love games, and I'd just as well not play either.

[bangoskank]

That would be quite masochistic but whatever floats your boat I suppose.

[TronEOL]

*Going to need to read the article to understand my replies*

5. Won't argue with that, as I'd rather Uncharted stick to being the best cinematic experience found on consoles. So even though that was a positive for Gears 3, it's also a negative. And I'm going to have to say, the side-story "Adventure mode" will be perfectly fine in Uncharted 3. So in essence, it's offering 2 "different" stories.

4. Bullshit. ~50,000 people playing Uncharted 2 daily never gave me problems when it came to finding someone to play the Co-op modes, or any of the Competitive modes with. Not to mention I'm sure Uncharted 3 will pick up new fans and the numbers may be much larger.

3. Bullshit x2. Uncharted 3's features EASILY eclipse those of Gears 3. Then once you start digging into the fact that in my entire experience of playing the Beta, Lag was never an issue, it takes Gears down another notch. Add the modes into that equation and the much more impressive multiplayer maps (some which are moving), then it takes Gears down, yet again.

2. Horde mode has been met since Uncharted 2. Now add in the better variety of maps, weapons, and boosters in Uncharted 3, with more versions of this "Horde mode", and you got something with more choice and doesn't leave out the generic "kill everything/survive waves" mode for those who want it. Not to mention Uncharted 3 has Co-op skills to keep your team working together, along with Co-op boosters. More variety = Win.

1. Once again, look @ 2 & 3 for information. The entire package of Uncharted 3's multiplayer is EASILY more feature packed, and the maps allow for multiple points of contact, meaning it'll only be the same as long as you choose the same route. And matches can vastly change depending on who you're playing against. So if you REALLY want more bang for your buck, you'll buy Uncharted 3.

Wow. This guy honestly doesn't seem like he did any research whatsoever. He never gave a single point as to why Gears of War 3 was better than Uncharted 3. He just stated what Gears had and compared it to nothing. Fail.

[Noctis106]

You're AWESOME!

[bangoskank]

@Noctis

Who the hell are you, Willow?
"You ARE great!"

Haha!

[bangoskank]

Your'e post is biased therefore it is "fail". You have a nice avatar though.

[JeffGUNZ]

haha you look so adorable when you say UC3 has more online features then Gears 3. Dude, you do realize they have the competitive multiplayer mode with like 10 different game types which are original and fresh. Also, they have Horde 2.0 which is a complete overhaul ranking system through horde which if you took time to research it, you'd be surprisingly impressed. Also, Beast mode, which looks amazing and that is also something unique. How about 4 player co-op? OH, by the way, the game is on dedicated servers this time, so there will be no lag. Try playing the beta for gears, there was no lag, they launched the beta on dedicated servers.

Your reply is so bias it's pathetic.

I love UC series and I can't wait to play the third installment, but to sit here and think that UC3 will have a better online experience is pathetic. UC is known for their amazing cinematic experience, not their online experience. Gears is know for it's competitive multiplayer experience. Both games will be amazing in their own right, but come on, take off the fanboy glasses.

[Optical_Matrix]

Do they have an equivalent to Uncharted TV? Facebook Integration? The Ability to save replays and send them to friends on your XBL list? Do they have as many customise options for character appearance as Uncharted 3? No for all of them. Gears 3 will be great. I've got it on Pre-order in fact, but in this case, Uncharted 3 seems to have the much more robust experience. The single player is leaps and bounds ahead of what Gears can ever hope to offer, and the multiplayer is packed full.

[ZILLA]

Game of the Fckin Year(period)

[JeffGUNZ]

A) You haven't even played the final game.
B) It hasn't been released.
C) It's not the end of the year and games like Gears, BF, and COD will be high contenders as well.

[V0LT]

lol... it never ends.. these are 2 totally diff games.

[Kingscorpion1981]

Don't forget Uncharted 2 got game of the year and Gears never got that title!

[JeffGUNZ]

That's because Gears 2 was a joke compared to what Gears 1 was. The Gears 3 beta was incredible.

Also, they were OLD games now. You can't use that as a proving ground. That's like saying the Xbox 360 will not sell as well as PS3 next generation because the PS2 outsolde the original xbox.

Here is a crazy idea. We wait for the game to be released and play them for ourselves!

[Kingscorpion1981]

One thing I can say is that Uncharted story is more interesting than Gears story! Gears online is the reason why its so popular and not the story! And I'm not a PS3 fan boy either I own both consoles and love Gears and uncharted but still feel that uncharted is more interesting.

[JeffGUNZ]

Absolutely. You are correct. That's because UC is built on the single player experience and Gears is more for the multiplayer experience. That's why I love both series. In my opinion, I think Gears is the better bet because it gives more playability with the multiplayer. I anticipate playing Gears 3 for good year with my buddies.

Don't get me wrong, they both will be strong contenders for GOTY.

[Kingscorpion1981]

I'm gonna be honest with you I had a blast on both beta's but at the end of the day everyone should play the game all of there friends play. All of your buddies play Gears of war and all of my friends play uncharted because they felt like it was a little more innovative with the platforming game play. They didn't change to much with Gears game play.

[Combellinas]

Gears of war 1 got game of the year.

[Rahim92]

I'm a huge Uncharted fan, but I do agree that the cinematics will feel repetitive soon.

[Silly gameAr]

Rock bottom.

[Noctis106]

Another stupid article written by Xbox360 fanboy!

[MrDead]

Two different games that offer two different experences, to ignore one means you lose as a gamer. This is as dumb as the articles that compare Forza to GT

[Drac]

Stupid article, if you've got the cash for both systems you've got the cash for these 2 AAA games.

[StifflerK]

Five reasons , I'll give ya ten.

Seriously now, Gears FTW.

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[lorelai]

i kinda feel sorry for him :( he doesnt know what Uncharted means in games world..i pet he never played it...whats wrong with xboxfans comparing gears of war 3 to uncharted 3?!! are they jealous?!! i have both console and im going to buy iy both so dont underestimate uncharted you BAAAKAAAA.

[StifflerK]

Actually I have, Uncharted is the reason I bought a PS3.

If I'd had to pick only one it'd be Gears.

Gears wooo hoo, yeah !

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[lorelai]

sure sure you are a guy and you like boom boom baaaam kinda games xD
uncharted has everything you can ever wish in a game ..its like watching a movie and you are the hero *very excited* <3
gears are good but never be as great as uncharted.
if i have 2 choose i would pick uncharted with close eyes cos the best always be the best :]

[ZeroX9876]

simple answer: you got a 360 and not a ps3, Gears. Got a ps3 and not 360, uncharted. Got both consoles, 2 extremely different games that has only one thing in common, TPS, buy both!

[cervantes99]

Why do sites keep telling me to buy one over the other?

Don't they know I live in a free country and can purchase both without toiling over which is better.

You can take your 5 reasons and shove it a$$clown.

[Sarobi]

Gears can't do what Uncharted does in terms of single player experience, and that is what seperates them, and that experience alone is why Uncharted is an award winning franchise

[qwertyz]

this is insane. uncharted is a 3rd person ADVENTURE game not really a tps why gears of war 3 is a TPS. why not compare SOCOM 4 to gears of war 3 ? uncharted makes you feel like a relic hunter while gears makes you feel like a killing machine.

[maddfoxx]

Why can't I have both? Gears and Uncharted are amazing games!!! Stop this fanboy foolishness and just enjoy the great games.

[RELIGHT]

How about you just get both like I'm going to and many other gamers are going to? The games release at completely different times as well so I don't see a circumstance where you'd have to choose between the 2. Both will be phenomenal games. Buy them both.

[drsnobby]

This is classic flaimbate article 101 and rightfully so.sad day on n4g and another poor aticle gets submited.let me keep this simple,if you have both consoles like me,get both games and have the best of both worlds.who wants to join me? :)

[ndl1531]

stupid article to begin with and as soon as i saw "planetxbox360.com" i was like screw this trash.

[MoreRPG]

why not purchase both???

[GoldPS3]

I never liked Gears so no thanks.

[InTheLab]

Surprised they didn't throw in anything about sales...????

At least that other Xbox site pretends to be objective while discussing Playstation games...hehe.

Just to keep things fair....my on list of stupid reasons for buying UC3 instead of Gears3...

My own stupid list that wreaks of fanboism..

5) The women of Uncharted are hotter than those man ladies from Gears.

4) You'll eventually get tired of playing the campaign with 4 people so Uncharted skips this hassle all together.

3) A well written, witty, and funny single player AND multi player is better than grunts and F bombs...and of course..YEAH BABAYYYYYY..HERE COMES THE COLLLLLLLLE TRAIN.

2) Gears 3 shamelessly copies horde mode from Gears 2. I f***en hate copycats.

1) It will take me at least 100 maps of airstrip to get tired of seeing the best looking graphics on consoles. I'll be tired of hearing "REVIVE MEEEE""REVIVE MEEEE""REVIVE MEEEE""REVIVE MEEEE" the first few times I hear it...

[refocusedman]

Sigh........ I give it a few hrs b4 5 reasons to purchase uncharted 3 over gears 3 decides to grace our presence. When will the madness end.....

[Gordo789]

I'm going to go write this article right now, lol.

[Neko_Mega]

Better Online Community lol, I think someone is mad that Uncharted 3 Beta had more people on it then Gears 3.

I'm getting both, so yeah. But I do want the Gears 3 360 and this> http://calibur11.com/store/... < I can't help it, it looks wicked.

[Chewy33]

I'll be getting both. But I wouldn't be surprised how much of a punch Gears 3 pacts when it releases. All the features where getting plus a three year development time plus a new engine plus dedicated servers and near perfected MP will make for one enjoyable experience.

[_LarZen_]

DUMBEST article I have read in a while. How can it be that writers on sites can have a brain the size of a rat?

[Rashonality]

i'll buy both thank you very much, in fact only a REAL gamer will buy them both cuz real gamers LOVE GAMES not LOVE A GAME (or a console for that matter) both of these games looks gorgeous and really fun to play, if you don't have money for both of them try starting from today to save 2 dollars a day until you have enough money for both of them there's still time.

[Jdub895O]

boy does this guy have it wrong. UC3 is just as tactical as well.

[alb1899]

For me they are the two games of the year i can't miss!

Solo player is better in Uncharted.
Campaign cooperative and online gears for me!

[PSWe60]

1) You
2) Don't
3) Own
4) A
5) PS3

[BABY-JEDI]

I have to say that I like a good, impartial argument that fairly weights up the pros & cons of each game then draws a solid reason & conclusion why said author prefers said game..
But this article really is a bag of tosh. Both Gears & UC have their pros & cons. Where's the comparison?
Your as well as saying I'm a Gears fan so you should buy this game. This argument is plainly retarded.
The end.

[ShinraE5]

I am definitely buying Gears 3 and passing on UC3.

Because I only own a 360.

Both look amazing. Gears and UC will have awesome MP (one more focused on intimate firefights, one with action movie set pieces). Both will have a great campaign (one co-op focused, one solo focused) and both will have replayable co-op side modes (horde 2.0 and arena).

If you have both systems and pass on either, I would seriously be stunned.

[Whackedorange]

Since i have both a PS3 and 360 i wont miss any of them, both are excellent franchise on their own personal plattform.

[Optical_Matrix]

What is this, I don't even...these small time Xbox 360 blogs are becoming pathetic. So much damage control since E3.

[TheMrMadzen]

The fuck? Do we have an army of Xbot approvers or are the mods slow today?

[Sorrow24]

I'm getting tired of this bs topic getting more and more hits everyday. They're two different games, on two different consoles, targeted at two different audiences.

[dafada]

........this article comin from an xbox site......wtf REALY!!?......if u own ps3 ull get uncharted if u have a 360 u get gears .......

i own both consoles an theres no way in hell i would get gears over uncharted........
i would get both if i have enough...but uncharted for sure

[Ares84]

I guess fanboys will never go away.

[GodKing1337]

LOL look at all this nerd rage going on XD!!!

[gcolley]

dumbest title ever

[maxmill]

hell to the no

[CYBERHATER]

Uncharted doesn't stand a chance. lol

[Daniel_Williamson_35]

I’m sick and tired of this fanboy bullshit. They are both very different games, but all the same, are both going to be fantastic.

Articles like this are embarrassingly biased and can only leave a negative stigma on any site.

[Braid]

I'll give you five reasons instead:

1. If you don't own a PS3,
2. lf you don't have enough money to get those at the same time and have to pick one,
3. lf you can't wait to see the conclusion to the series and prefer to end the Gears story before playing another Uncharted game the story of which has little to no connection with its predecessors,
4. lf you are able to get it with a good discount online,
5. lf your local store is out of Uncharted 3 for that moment but has GeOW 3 for purchase.

Other than the abovementioned reasons l don't know why any sane person with a good taste of video games would not want to play two of the best titles this generation was able to offer.

[montyburns000]

I have both pre-ordered and only paid $40 for each game. I win

[ianblake]

WTF? what a stupid article

[acemonkey]

the point of this is one reason ps3 vs xbox fanboys going at it

[FuRy_Gonzo2K8]

Holy shit! just read the comments on the original website and it's amazing to see how few XBOX fanboys are actually on an XBOX website. Gaveme a massive grin. Hehe. Anyway, I can't beleive he said that the Uncharted fanbase is a worse community or a not so big one. Thats utter bullshit. Anyone whose been to the Naughty Dog forums would know. Oh and the fact that GoW3 uses all 4 player co-op is a point but it does limit the singleplayer. Also Naughty Dog are implementing a co-op survival type game mode into Uc3. The other arguments were easily debunked and lacked any weight. Ask any true un-biased owner of both games and you'll just just get the same answer. They're both outstanding AAA games and I'm getting both. Anyway IMO I could give you 50 reasons to get Uc3 instead of GoW3. Just ask if you want them ;)

[cornroves]

.....This is dumb they're on different systems if you have both systems just get both, if you have just one of the systems just get the game on that respective system, they're both going to be quality games.

[TheMutator]

im buying both , thats the good thing about have both console....fanboy , fanboys!!!!

[Bull5hifT]

1.If you Failed Special Ed...............2.You Like Guessing how long You Can Play it on your 9th xBOX.............3.Unreal Engine is the Most Aamzing thing EvRRR!!GRAPHICAL OVERKILL!................4.you Mighta Been Dropped on Your Head by Your Inbred Parents..................5.You Dont Own A PS3(With A PASSION XD)

[P_Bomb]

Is this literally the only type of fud this site is capable of getting onto N4G? Literally every other week there's a PS3 headline (ironic considering it's a 360 site) and they're NEVER well written. Guy couldn't even come up with 5 reasons so he just said online 4 times, and even that's not guaranteed based on Gears' notoriously broken online history. It'd be like getting excited over Lair 2 because motion controls are back. Yet here we are...

[midgard227]

gears has always been a meh series in my opinion. i play it only to turn my 360 on honestly

[solidosito]

purchase both limit edition u3, normal edition g3

[SheenuTheLegend]

The Author is Stupid

[StarWolf]

why would you buy both? thats 120 bucks for 2 games that have similar game mechanics. (ie cover system) . May as well pick up Gears 3 and save the other 60 for Twisted metal or Starhawk which will be superior to Uncharted 3.

[Funky Town_TX]

I have not played either. I just picked up uncharted 2 (don't kill me) and that games is sweet. I will pre-order UC3 as soon as I find the place with the best deal. When I pre-order LA Noire at Best Buy and I got a $20 gift card. I hope I find something like that for UC3.

[Human Analog]

It's apples to oranges. Both games are totally different experiences. And exclusive to different consoles too. And the article only really had two reasons. Co-Op and four multi-player types. It's just online, and online.... Nice argument.

[danthebios]

Uncharted more adventure then gears which is shoot em up.period.

[Krysifix]

Anyone else notice 2-5 are the exact same thing, and dont state any reason behind the reason. What a fail of an article. Gears is going to be an awesome game and so will uncharted, definatly going to buy them both. But this is just a horrible article.

[BIGBOSS08]

what you expect? its a xbox only site talking about a playstation 3 exclusive.

[perzian]

Well I'm getting both. Burning Gears 3, and buying Uncharted 3

[teedogg80]

Same here. Nice logo BTW! Lol

[BIGBOSS08]

why so many uncharted articles from xbox only sites? seems clear to me that alot of 360 fans have an obsession with uncharted. i dont see ps3 sites talking about gears of war nor are the ps3 owners.

[Krysifix]

very good point.

[Number_3]

I don't even need one reason.

[earbus]

Uncharted is just a mish mash of the the mummy,tomb raider and indiana jones.Gears for me uncharted plays to much like an old game.

[Chewy33]

I don't think this will change any ones mind.

[teedogg80]

Well, since I own both consoles I'll be getting both games. To tell you the truth I'm more excited for RAGE more than both of these games.

[Ragnaarock]

I really don't understand why people still believe that the PSN community is "weaker" than the 360 community. The amount of people that make up each community is staggering, and depending on how you personally view it, there is a negligible difference in the community size. Let's say for instance the xbox live community is made up of about 30 million users and PSN has about the same, (these aren't real figures), so shouldn't each group have a near identical mix of casual and hardcore? Each community, today, boasts a community of gamers that play countless hours of the games they love, whether it be gears of UC. So is, "one side has a weaker online community", even a viable excuse anymore?

Another thing that bugs me, that I was reading earlier in the comments, is the complaints about Sony's PSN pass. As someone else said before others companies are doing it so why should Sony be the one that get's the blame. Then again just because other are doing it doesn't justify the fact that your following suit, unless there is a reason behind it.
The only reason I can think of why sony would do this is to discourage people from buying used games. Whenever someone buy's a used game, not one cent of that purchase is credited to the publisher's and developers of the game. All of that money goes directly into the used games re-sellers profit margin. Game developer need money to create some of these massive games we see today such as UC3 and Gears of War 3. Some game budgets are even exceeding those of actual movies. So for those who are not aware of movie or game budgets, these budgets can exceed 100 million dollars. If a game developer or producer fail to cover these costs or do not make enough profit they will most likely not create a sequel. So buying used games mean we ultimately end up hurting ourselves as gamers. Sometimes you have to stop looking at things from a narrow perspective and put yourself in a developer, or publisher's shoes to really see how adding a 5-10 dollar online pass can ultimately benefit us gamers by supporting our favorite developers.

[kamakaz3md]

your basically saying buy a 360 over a ps3, stupid.. smh

[Run_bare]

interesting to compare the two. but in terms of timing, it's all depends on money. Christmas is coming, personally, i will buy Uncharted first and foremost before anything else. If i am a rich man, maybe.

But one of my most important reason, my 2nd xbox died and i don't really want to buy another one :)

[SuperBeast811]

LOL nice try Cliffy B i know this is you thanks for the lolz

[rlm41]

Can people get any more butthurt than those commenting this article? lol

[xXBlondieVanHarlowXx]

He's totally right, i'm cancelling my Resistance 3, Uncharted 3, Saints Row 3, MW3, Dead Island, BF3, Twisted metal and Mass effect 3 pre-orders because none off them have Horde mode (meaning they all suck, come to think of it GoW1 lacked a Horde mode) thank you so much PlanetXbox.com for opening my eyes :D Oh and "A Tighter Online Package" is a sure winner, it automatically means every other game in existence sucks because Gear's online improved, Makes so much fu***ng sense to me now ,l,,

[Firstkn1ghT]

Both are surely going to be great games and must be played. But times are tough now so I would buy Gears 3 for the superb multiplayer and lasting appeal and rent Uncharted 3 to play the single player.

[kornbeaner]

Main reason I won't be buying Gears 3. I don't own a 360 and its not releasing for PC. So UNCHARTED 3 all the way for me.

[csreynolds]

Another flame-inducing article... what would have been wrong with just "Five Reasons to Purchase Gears of War 3"?

*shakes head*

[felidae]

if you're a REAL gamer you own both consoles.

i think there are more great games on the PS3 - i only like Gears and Halo on the 360. on the PS3 i like Uncharted, Demon's Souls, Ratchet and Clank, Heavy Rain, God of War, Gran T., Warhawk, LBP, MGS4, Killzone, Resistance, 3D Dot Game Heroes, Folklore, Heavenly Sword, Wipeout, Motorstorm, Mod N. Racers and so many more.

Uncharted > Gears of War for me.

[videoxgamexfanboy]

I see no reason to limit urself to one or the other. If u own mulit plat then get both games. They both are great games and offer entirely different expirence's. Damn flame bait articles...

[Snowii]

im sorry but gow 3 looks ridicolous

huge characters with small maps and barely any story to it

[iMaim]

I agree with them all aside from the amount of hours in the campaign. 10-15 hours ... pfft. Gears 1 and 2 barely lasted 8 hours.

[Treyb3yond]

Gears characters are 2D shadows of the ones in uncharted.

No question in my mind that uc is a better series.

[The Official]

Did you know.. the Flamebait would'nt affect you if you just copped both games right? 6 years later and N!ggas is still arguing with the same motherphuckers about which is better. SMH!!! This site is a beacon for Short Fat non pussi getting motherphuckers who use their hands for typing fanboy rants rather than playing good games and Squeezing fat @sses and T!ts. you dudes are pathetic.. while You F@gs argue other which one is better.. the real gamers will be sitting in the crib playing both games with our lady friend butt @ss naked watching us and cringing while bullets penetrate skin just like our manhood 60 minutes prior to when we started playing the game lmao!!

[TheCampfireSong]

I'll be getting both and playing the hell out of them.

[feedurhabit]

Not getting either, I'm holding out for Garbage Truck Simulator 2

[SnukaTheMan]

It's really quite idiotic...im sure if people own both consoles they will buy both..being that they are hardcore to own both.

[bub16]

One reason not to.

1) Uncharted 3...

[sjaakiejj]

So what if I don't like Online Multiplayer? That defeats 4 of the 5 points already...

[Ch1d0r1]

great story

[Hyperbomb69]

People are fogetting about offline single player games... this article pretty much talks about the reasons why you should buy it for its online feature, but other than that its no match for Uncharted. Uncharted has a better story and gameplay not to mention stunning graphics! So no thanks Im sticking with the better game Uncharted 3.

[ndl1531]

five reasons im getting uncharted 3 over gears 3. 1.WAY better story and narrative . 2.better graphics and animation ( still with the unreal engine for gears huh?).3 . the producer for uncharted 3 doesn't act like a F*cken a$$ every chance he gets .4. dont own a xbox .5 . dont want an xbox . so there you have it children my 5 reasons why im getting the follow up to 2009 GAME OF THE YEAR baby hmmm wonder how many GOTY awards did gears 2 get ? they are probably waiting to blow you 360fans away on part 3 right ? REMEMBER WHO MADE IT RAIN WITH GOTY AWARDS IN 2009 BITCHES AND ITS GONNA BE THE SAME IN 2011 !!!!!! YEEEEEEEESSSSSSS....... cant wait. garbage a$$ planetxbox360 can eat $hit wow how suprising a 360 website praising a 360 game. i dont really care just dont give your $hit reasons why its "teh bestest" comparing it to uncharted 3

[00000000000000000001]

One reason why your not getting Gears 3 is because you don't own a 360. If you did you would be getting both like I am!

[Frak]

The only GOW in Know and play is GOD OF WAR HAAHAHAHAHHH

[Chewy33]

Honestly. The story in Gears 1 is pretty good. Notice I said Gears 1, not Gears of war 2. Gears of war 1 along with the books and novels all contain an expanded and deep universe. Uncharted is a treasure hunter. It's like comparing Star wars to Indiana Jones. Thankfully Gears 3 is being written by the author of the books.

But you all seem to presume that the campaign will be less then average. Gears 1 had a wonderful campaign when it had a 1 year development time. Now that they have 3 years to actually polish and create which has shown with the inclusion of 4 player co-op I believe it could match Uncharted pretty evenly. The Gears 3 MP beta was defiantly more exiting for Uncharted 3 for me, kept me playing twice and long. Granted, Uncharted 3 was fun, it was pretty average along with most game multi-players.

[modest-genius]

There is only one reason one would ever buy Gears of War 3 over Uncharted 3:

You do not own a PS3.

[gdguide]

Uncharted 3 for a wayyy better story and cast of characters. Gears 3 for a great co op experience and more gore. Both are great. Gears though is more about gore and less about great scripts and casts of characters. I never give a crap about the dialog in Gears.

[X-Zone]

Gears of War 3 will be mundane shooter, with average graphics, repetitive gameplay and flat story.

Whereas Uncharted 3 will just push the bar further out of Cliff's reach.

Give it up Cliff, your games suck.

[Cajun Chicken]

1. Got no taste
2. Spoon Fed Fanboy
3. Like hide and seek multiplayer
4. Only got 360
5. Like the film Small Soldiers

[Hifist1]

Uncharted 3 for stunning SP experience and Gears 3 for multiplayer(including Horde and Beast -modes).

[Inzo]

I just love how he said Gears is tactical, that really made me laugh.

[lucifon]

True I'm looking forward to Gears slightly more, but I'm buying both...problem solved :)

[solidworm]

after playing both id say U2,s multiplayer destroys Gears mp.

[thespaz]

I'm only getting Uncharted 3 for the single player experience. Multiplayer just isn't that fun in Uncharted.

I've never played Gears of War, but I hate Epic and Unreal Engine so, I'll be avoiding that game like the plague.

[CraigBaker]

or i'll just buy both. Stupid article if you ask me. Most people have one console and depending on which one that is, that is what they will buy. And if you have enough money to own both consoles chances are you can afford both games, like myself. So buy both! Easy as that. They will both be 5/5 games, and they are launching 3 months apart which should give anyone enough time to throw together another $60 for an amazing gaming experience. i WISH people would really stop with these ridiculous flame bait articles just to get a lot of hits on n4g, its quite sad.

[ILikeTurtles]

lol

[frostypants]

Played both betas.

Uncharted 3 >>>>> Gears 3. Sorry, but by this point in both series, Gears just feels like Uncharted with all the climbing mechanics removed. Once you've played Uncharted, the relative lack of freedom in Gears feels frustrating.

Other than that they play almost identically in terms of online.

As for single player, the Uncharted games win that by an absolute landslide. Not even close. I've played through the two previous Uncharted games at least 4 times each.

That said I'll still buy Gears 3 (in addition to U3), just to play it with my 360 buddies. And I think anyone who owns both systems would be doing themselves a disservice by not getting both (if they can afford to).

[whitezagetsu71]

1 reason not to buy Gears 3 or Uncharted 3 ..............................

Batmam Arkam City Collectors Edition cause Uncharted 3 and Gears 3 are mediocre at best ^^

[taint]

simple answer: buy both.

[Buntownik]

There both the best games for each system... plus there both exclusives so you can't really VS. them cuz you can't buy one or the other if you have one system, but if you have both systems GET EM BOTH!

[OooHJohnny]

1 reason to purchase U3 over Gears 3 : I don't have a 360. HA! But if I could I would get both. The end of this year gona be awesome!

[Hozi89]

Both of them will do me fine. I've got story to finish here people, why the hell would I not want to play both of them. I bet only cheap or poor people who can afford to own all systems are the only fanboys that troll/hate all the time.

IDK who's with me but I'm an avid supporter/buyer of all 3 major console makers. They all do well in their own way.

[peeps]

I guess what they're saying then is buy Gears if your more into mp modes since all 5 points were mp related....

[Kakihara]

1. You still listen to Limp Bizkit and can name at least one album they've done since the second one.
2. You call people 'Bro'.
3. You spend your Saturday nights beating up 'Kweeers' at the local bar.
4. You take pictures of yourself shirtless with a thug bandana on your pasty white head then post them online after poorly photoshopping in some muscles.
5. You had a marijuana leaf tattooed on your upper left arm a week after you smoked your first half joint. You hide it from your mother you doesn't know you have it but the rest of the time you wear a vest and stand awkwardly with your shoulder jutting forward to show it off.

[James Vanderbeek]

as a ps3 owner I will make sure to listen to planetxbox360.com

I wonder how many reasons they have why you should buy too human over metal gear solid 4

[Tzuno]

Gears 3 is for 360 and uncharted 3 is for PS3 there are not on the same platform to make you choose what to buy. Owners of 360 will buy gow 3 and ps3 users will buy uncharted 3 and owners of both consoles will buy both games. Lame article without logic(only to start a flame)and lame kids doing fan-boy.

[DOOMZ]

Gears is just a better single player & multiplayer experience, simple... But since I have both consoles I will own both!

[jneul]

if you have a 360 and a ps3 buy both:-D
No need for console wars...

[GodHandDee]

lol so much bait in one article

[mastemikegee]

you should buy the one u like most or both if u can afford it. there is no better choice. don't let someone else tell you which one is the best. did u start playing games coz someone told you to?

[MOTY]

Buying Gears 3
Borrowing Uncharted 3 from my brother, like I did with Uncharted 2.

Some games are worth my hard earned money....and some aren't.

[Old McGroin]

Did the exact same thing buddy, baught Gears 2 (and still play online to this day) and borrowed Uncharted 2, finished it over a weekend and, even though the single player was stunning in parts, I had no other reason to go back to it. So Gears 2 has lasted me since 2008 whereas Uncharted 2 was finished in less than 2 days, it's easy to see what the better investment is.
And if the beta for Uncharted 3's multiplayer is anything to go by, I'll be doing the exact same thing again this time around.

[Solid_Dave]

Nope. Why? I dunno.

[Ricardoportillo04]

this article is so stupid so i just have to comment on it....first of all the games are not on the same consoles so you cant say no im not gonna get uncharted 3 and get gears of war 3..since most people dont have only one console which would be a 360 or a ps3....or a wii but then again you shouldnt even be reading this if your console is a wii and second of all they are both a different genre if you are gonna compare gears to a ps3 exclusive you would hae to do it with killzone or resistance

[btk]

Because you own a XB360
Because you liked previous Gears of War and liked it
Because you don't own a PS3
You like War games more than Adventure games
Because you ran out of reasons to justify being a fanboy...

[JamieLeeC93]

Errrr... why not purchase both?

[slaton24]

why the hell does it even matter they are on different systems...in other words stop this fanboy bullshit..they will both sale good end of story.

ps---grow the hell up and be a true gamer besides a bullshitting fanboy

[Blues Cowboy]

I'd make a point about how comparing these two games is COMPLETELY reductive, but over 300 people have beaten me to it.

The word flamebait comes to mind - as does the idea that opinion pieces deserve their own subsection/category and should be kept out of the main site.

[zodiac909]

Why not just buy both and stfu?
or if you only have one console, just buy the game thats exclusive for it and stfu.

[mayberry]

how does the author of this article "know" that psn will not support uc3 as long?
