I, like millions of other people, am fervently waiting for the upcoming release of the sequel for Gears of War. Who doesn’t like a little chainsaw or torque bow action once in awhile? Well, naturally, the folks over at the Yahoo! decided to post about a story about how much more violent Gears of War 2 is from it’s predecessor.
Umm, d’uh! We all know it’s going to get shipped with a big ol’ “MATURE” rating and that some of us will get carded as we wait for our game to be swipped across the cashier’s scanners.
More violence is what we want. Of course we want a sequel to have more realistic graphics, more enemies to kill and, yes, more melee moves! That’s what is needed for a series to evolve to do two things: increase their gamership as well as keeping the current fans of the series happy. I am personally looking forward to the chainsaw mini-game and “meat shield”. The “meat shield” is using dead opponent’s body as a protective shield.
Complain all they want about the violence, this is what we asked for. This is exactly what we want and hopefully the developers won’t downgrade the violence to make the censors happy.
So, why don’t you head over to your Xbox 360 and download the game play footage. I said do it!
