*Controversial* Gears of War sucks

What a yawnfest. Yes its pretty (pretty dark) and yes its bloody (bloody repetitive). This game has been done a zillion times before.

I'm going back to Lego Star Wars

That is all

And no I haven't played it co-op and I can get to grips with the controls as I really liked GRAW, but this is just meh :/

Lego Star Wars rocks.

Not overly bothered by Gears of war as a FPS on a joypad is crap.

well MB, if you want to offload it at a heavily discounted price, i'm in the market for it

seriously, if you want to get rid, i'll probably take it

Well im quite happy with Medieval2: total war thanks. FPS games don't really do it for me.

I've not played much GoW and I've not bought it simply because I'm so used to the PC way of playing FPS (keyboard + mouse = win) that I was totally hopeless at GoW.

As has already been said, Lego Star Wars rocks. It was a total bargain at £30 too.

I liked what I played of it personally

And I'd definitely argue that you can play FPS games with a joypad, just a matter of adjusting to a different style of controlling the character.

Fingers crossed we see it before Halo 3, and that it's actually usable.

Personally I agree with Haly, it's just a matter of getting used to using a controller to a mouse and keyboard. When I first started playing MOA on the cube I was completely crap

couldn't run and shoot to save my life, now I'm ok.

Same could be said of gears, I only tried it out for a minute or so and thought if possible I'd tweak the controls slightly, can you change the controller configuration?

Great gfx and the duck n cover style gameplay is a nice change of pace from walking in and taking 500 rounds to the face without dying. Can't say I have too much of an issue with the controller either. Its very nice to play on and I loved GRAW with it. Never felt I needed anything better.

Considering its a 3rd person shooter, I don't see why there would be any issues with FPS controls anyway

I played the first few 'levels' and it didn't really grip me, so far its not one of those games that I feel I must play, and I haven't touched it for about 2 weeks. The running and the duck and cover features also felt very clunky to me.
