Upcoming Gears Of War 3 DLC Puts You In RAAM's Boots

[Jabberwock King]

Wait a minute, I thought everyone agreed that the kryll were a horrible idea! Noooooooo- OK I'm done with that.

Awesome content. After hearing about the 1st package, I started to lose my regret for spending $30. Now I'm totally confident in that decision.

I wonder what size boot RAAM actually is...? And I hope they don't do multiplayer 'Diddy RAAM' where they shrink him to make him equal in size just to get away with keeping the same combat animations and such malarky. I want 9foot tall walking death thank you Epic.

They'll probably give you boss sized RAAM for the campaign bit, and then give you the diddy sized guy for multiplayer, just like they did for the kantus monk in beast mode.

Oh good, hopefully that means I can take out my frustrations on Dom for constantly charging RAAM and getting his stupid ass knocked down every time I saved him. Dom taught me a very valuable lesson. The lesson is you should always play Gears of War games in co-op... your blood pressure will thank you.

Ben Carmine is still my favorite character in the series simply because of how useful he was. You get knocked down, he is immediately on you to give you the healing boot in the ass. Most useful character in the series.

Seriously? I never would have expected to see anything involving General Underbite again, let alone play as him. RAAM didn't have any character beyond "big bad who leads all the little bads", so I find it hard to care about this. It just seems like such a weird choice. Were people actually demanding to see more of him?

I don't know if it is something people were clamoring for, but it is certainly something they want now that they know about it.

Like lightsabers, or "i" products. No one knew they wanted them until they were presented with them.

Spoiler: I would rather have an x-pac/DLC that explains the freaking queen. (spoilers, I guess, on click)

I mean, seriously, it sounded like the dad was going to explain it like four times, but then he died. Then she pops up alive after the deus ex machina (heavy on the machina), and I'm like 'now she explains, especially since she survived the "grub/lambent-death-ray"', but instead, she bitches about the dad and then is stabbed. What the hell was the point of that? I figure it is the locust are the result of the Sires experiment that went and hid in the mountain (see: Gears 2), and she's the scientist that led them, but it would be nice to have "official" closure on that, or some sort of explanation for her looking mostly "normal" and not dying from the death ray.

As long as I don't spend 45 minutes treading toward a bunch of dudes hiding behind chest high walls while they lob grenades at me to disperse my invincible bat swarm and then shoot me in the head repeatedly with exploding arrows, I think I'm looking forward to this...

Oh gosh, must have now. That looks flippin' sweet.
