GamesRadar - Play Gears of War 3 on Hardcore. On Normal, it virtually plays itself

GamesRadar - So Gears of War 3 is brilliant. You know that now. Myself and Mr. Charlie Barratt certainly know it too. He wrote our review, and I've been happily playing it at home all week. But during that thoroughly rewarding quality time with my sofa, I've noticed something that you really need to be aware of. The difficulty levels in Gears of War 3 are not what you'll expect of the series. They're not what you'll expect at all.

Expect allot of these articles with headlines like this over the next 3 weeks - some sites want to cash in on the hype with hits.

Not saying that its not more challenging on hardcore but I am sure that normal is no different than Gears 1 and 2 which were ok but not extremely easy like this website suggest.

Article was pointless if you ask me.

Epic has stated that the difficulty levels have been made easier. Specifically, if you want the "true Gears of War experience", then play it on hardcore. Other sites have mentioned this in their reviews as well.
Either way, I can't wait until Tuesday.

Please provide link?

I think your mistaken what you said for this
Gears of War 3 to get casual friendly multiplayer area

Normal mode is still the same as all the other Gears.

Jeff Gerstmann mentions, in this video, that one of the developers who was supervising the demo told him to play on hardcore because of the decrease in difficulty. He also mentions it in his review.

I hope they didn't make it too easy. I hope games don't continue this trend of dumbing down the gameplay for the lowest common denominator, which would be the casual gamer. This would be the sole game to make me buy a 360, but if it's extremely easy, then I just don't know. I'll play it on my bro's 360 first.

I don't own an Xbox, nor am I a particularly large fan of Gears....but dude, it's anything but a casual game. If they made the SP a little easier for people new to the series to get into, then fine. The multiplayer is the meat of the experience and I'm willing to bet that hasn't been toned down. Also, quit being such a little b*tch. All major systems have some good games coming out in the next few months. Enjoy the ones you can and quit trying to ruin the experience of others.

Ace_Pheonix5013d ago

Haha, I know. I completely agree with you. I was just messing.

Hoje03085013d ago

Oh, well then sorry for yelling.

LackTrue4K5013d ago

wow............that looks bad!!! but still love gears 3!!! cant wait

I currently play Gears 3 often, especially after the 60 FPS Boost. Gears of War is my favorite gaming franchise, and the Locusts are the coolest faction in history. Gears Judgment will always be a disgrace for not having the Locust in VS multiplayer.

AuraAbjure717d ago (Edited 717d ago )

GoW 3 and Judgement were the last installments before the series went woke and soulless. I'm level 50 in GoW 3 and LOVE it's multiplayer to death. It's just so crispy.

My first thought. Deserved to be somewhere in there.

Vits876d ago (Edited 876d ago )

That is the most "normie" list that I ever saw. This does make some sense given the console in question, but still.

Tacoboto875d ago

Sure, the list itself sucks. But that click-saver table-of-contents, every list should have that.

BrainSyphoned875d ago

Might as well list it as the One's top twenty as well since all it had for games was backward compatibility.
