Question of the Day, April 14, 2010

[Kollega]

I don't have a console, but i feel somewhat more intrested now anyway - just because i want to see a walking self-contradiction. A woman as UBER-MANLY as Gears of War requires? Awesome!

 

[rossatdi]

Wait a second...

There are characters in Gears of War? I thought it was 'good' space marines killing 'bad' monsters.

I don't really care if the bulky powered armoured shoulders are slightly less bulky.

 

[legion431]

Wait, how can you play as a female COG. There is only 4 player co-op and in the trailer, with the inclusion of the girl, there are 5 of them. Marcus, Dom, Baird, Cole and the woman [who is supposed to be Anya].

What are the Vegas odd of her becoming a stereotypical female "action hero"?

 

[Jared]

I really dont see why this is such a big deal. There is a woman, so what> Woman in other kinds of games too. People who think this really detracts to the game need to seriously sort there head out

 

[Lord Mountbatten Reborn]

Finally, I can shoot guys as a steroid pumped hobo!

If only developers understood that's what people wanted.

Now everyone can truly live the dream!

 

[Aedes]

Even if I was intersted in Gears of War, I still wouldn't feel any change on my interest for the game.

Maybe if they added a cat-ninja, I could find it more appealing. Another sex gender? It remains the same game but with boobs.

 

[Kollega]

"Stereotypical female action hero" is not MANLY enough! To live in Gears universe she needs to have EPIC MUSCLES and BOOBS OF STEEL and PREPOSTERONE level OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAND! GRAAAAAAAAAAH MANLINESS!!!

 

[mexicola]

Oh my GOD I have to get it now! No, wait, I don't.

It just looks like a cheap trick to boost sales a bit, but in either case doesn't affect me at all.

 

[JEBWrench]

PREPOSTERONE level OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAND! GRAAAAAAAAAAH MANLINESS!!!

Preposterone! That's got to be an earlier runner for 2010's word of the year. Especially in the gaming industry.

 

[SextusMaximus]

Nope, not at all... it's just a feature they've incorporated to add interest and have failed to add any at all.

 

[phYnc]

I cant see why anyone would care in a game like Gears of War

 

[Kollega]

PREPOSTERONE level OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAND! GRAAAAAAAAAAH MANLINESS!!!

Preposterone! That's got to be an earlier runner for 2010's word of the year. Especially in the gaming industry.

Just so you know, i didn't think that word up, i just stole it. Search for "Powerthirst" on Youtube.

 

[Twad]

Female or male, she will be just cliche and brown as the rest of them... so it doent matter at all.

 

[danielsharpe1634]

So they're desperate and pulled a 1948 Israel... What's your point?

 

[reg42]

Well I don't own a 360...
BUT
If I did, it would change my opinion at all.

 

[_Janny_]

Butch female lead? I'd be kind of interested in playing that, mostly for funsies.

 

[The Great JT]

No, because the character is going to be your typical snarky, scowling action girl who eats more carpet than a malfunctioning vacuum cleaner.

 

[Not-here-anymore]

So the suggestion I'm getting here is that no-one is all that bothered? (Me neither, for the record)
I'm more concerned about the giant tentacle monsters shown in the trailer. Oh, and Dom's beard. Although a mini-game where you shave it off with a lancer would be fun!

 

[Nyrad01]

Epic could have put in the Sugar Puff monster as a new character, and I'd still want to play the game! Wait that's not a bad idea... It could be called Puffs of War 3
