Do you think Gears of War 2 will get too much hype?
YES, TOO MUCH
NO, JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT
What do you guys think?
No Just the Right Amount. GOW is my favorite 360 game to date. I'm still playing it. When I try a different game a always somehow find my way back to GOW. I think GOW 2 deserves the hype and I already pre-ordered collector's edition. Can't wait for it should be awesome
Too much. Gears of War got extremely stale after about a month. The online play was dull, with no incentive to keep playing. I'll probably get GOW2 off of Goozex but there is no way I will be sitting outside of EB at midnight.
Too Much (should have done a poll)
By the time GoW hit the PC it already was stale (my review referred to 'rusty gears').

The Game Is Awesome But There Was Too Much Hype About It.
Deffinately not overhyped at all...I have only had about three hours of gameplay in it so far, but it is amazing. Although I may be biased because I am a huge GoW fan, it really is improved so much from how smooth the movement is, to the various new and revamped weapons. I am loving this game and I am completely ready to waste many hours of my days sitting online playing the various game modes like the new horde which is extremely fun. I highly reccommend this game to any 360 owner.
jizzle how is the whole weapon stopping power thing working out and is there still host advantage?
Over hyped?, No, and I'm not being sarcastic. Over Hyped is the fact my local Best buy still has Brand new packages of Halo 3 Legendary editions on clearance for the same price as the regular edition and they are still not selling. I think Epic has better estimated their audience, more accurately marketed their product and also made a better product than most other developers. So far I have not felt beaten down with a deluge of in your face marketing that accompanies other high profile games.
Shady: jizzle how is the whole weapon stopping power thing working out and is there still host advantage?
I am very happy to say they have done away with the host advantage and the stopping power seems to be working like a charm...I had someone running up to me chainsaw revving and a quick bullet or two from my lancer stopped them dead in their tracks.
