By your standards a game like Geometry Wars is the worst game ever made.
- The story line sucks! What the heck! Why are these shapes after me! Why can't we friends! This story is stupid!
- Can you BELIEVE the AI?! Those stupid pink squares fly right at me, they don't even TRY to dodge! They just run into my fire! Stupid! This game sucks!
- I can't even take cover, what it going on, this is dumb!
I know this is an extreme example, but it's what I'm trying to say. A game like Geometry Wars does NOT need any of that stuff, and never tried to have any of that stuff. That's what SR2 is all about. It doesn't need any of that shit, and it never tried to have it.
The enemies aren't elite military terrorists, they are retarded street thugs. Not all players want to be outgunned, outmanuevered, out flanked, and out smarted all the time. Save that for shit that needs it like, like R6 Vegas or something.
I don't want people to think that the ideas shooter and cover system need to synonymous, you know? Does Unreal Tournament series need cover? HELL NO is the answer.
I just wish you wouldn't label the game "bad" or a "dud" or an improper sequel because YOU were under the impression it was going to deliver all of these things that it was never supposed to deliver.
I mean, you don't buy a hot dog to decorate your living room do you? Fuck no, you buy a hot dog to eat that shit.
You were looking for something totally different in SR2, and you made it worse for yourself. I wish you could take the game for what it DOES deliver, instead of these minor immersion breaking things that are ruining your experience. Do you REALLY want to be immersed while you spread toxic amounts of shit all over people's houses? This game doesn't NEED story, it doesn't NEED immersion. Save that shit for Final Fantasy, save that for Call of Duty, save that for games that need it. Unreal tournament games never have a good story, but no one cares, because they're not looking for a story. We enter the Unreal series knowing that, so we aren't disappointed. The UT3 story is like the worst excuse for a story ever made, but no one cares.
Anyways, sTo0z SR2 PR machine signing off. ;P I seriously, seriously urge you to pick the controller back up and enter the game with no expectations other than totally hilarious and ridiculous nonsense going on. Go hop in the planes with the guns on them, I'm sure you'll complain about the amount of bugs there, but guess what, it's still insane amounts of fun.
Good luck buddy.
Also, Spiderman, thanks for posting those pics. The game DOES NOT look bad! Fuck God of War 2.
People think that looks good? Wow, fucking *hurl*
But Geometry Wars doesn't HAVE a story, it doesn't TRY to be something other than a great Arcade-game! It's great BECAUSE of it's simplicity, yet it has great controls for it's gametype, everything is solid and acts the way you "expect" them to. So I can't see any reason in your comparison there, but i see what you're trying to get at.
And "hating" for me is the wrong word, for me to hate something it has to be really fucking awfully bad. SR2 isn't. It's just not worthy of the SR2 title, IMO.
And the reason A.I being stupid is because they're dumb gangsters? They way they are stupid, wich i got reminded of yesterday when i played some, was there was a huge battle going on (Stronghold takeover). And all of a sudden, i find some dude standing watching the wall, after i've just gunned down 5 of his gangster-friends. So i walk up to him and doesn't notice me until i shoot him in the back. That's the kind of stupid im talking about. Not the human-comparison kind of stupid, more badly programed A.I stupid.
And here's my final point:
You really like it - great for you!
I find many faults that bother me - though shit! My opinions, all of them, are mine, and I will stand by them cause that's just me being honest.
Now, i'll probably keep playing the game, i don't have anything else to play, and few games interest me atm.
And please, i'm not saying it's the worst game to come out to the 360. I've played through far worse games. So i can't see any reason why i shouldn't try to beat SR2, it's not like it's costing me anything.
But if had paid full retail price for this game, i'd be very dissappointed.

I agree...the game is exactly the same as the first one. So people if u didnt like the first one, stay away from this. Theres nothing here to see. Move on. I hope that has emphasised it enough.
yeah, SR2 was never meant to be better, similar to GTA 4 in any way. The character creation is amazing imo. If you got some imagination you can really have some fun with it
Well, the game got some different elements that might be fun to some and just boring and uninteresting to others. I haven't played it enough... will explore more later. And System link coop in a sandbox game FTW
but a word of warning game is bugged , it crashed o me 2 times allready - screen freezes but you can pause game and go to the main menu and load
it really needs a patch to fix this... :/
I never saw a trailer for this game that claimed superiority over GTA all i ever saw was shit showing how it was DIFFRENT from GTA. The game seems fun to me its more over the top and cartoony I dont think the gfx are bad at all i honestly cant notice diffrences. easy to please and having fun thats all i really ask anyway so it works for me.
Agree. This isn't trying to be that serious. I actually think the missions are better than the ones in GTA 4. But yeye, the driving physics aint great... but lots of fun stuff to do
Content-wise, this blows GTA 4 out of the water. But GTA is probably a better game as a whole. This game is great though, I don't see what people don't like about it.
BTW, where the heck is the Let's Pretend clothing store? My gang is all ninjas now, except me, so I need that ninja costume.
SR2 has crashed a few times on me, people have been stuck in the engines of cars, when the characters are talking in the car, the voices do not sound right. it seems muffled at times. Audio cuts out.
bugs are only the physics kind - stuck in a invisible wall , your crew stands still and will not follow you , you get stuck in the car and can't get out
and the most annoying thing is when those bugs do happen your game crashes to black screen or freezes - the strange thing is its not a xbox thing but the game , still you can pause your game with start button in this black screen(wtf?) and go to the main menu of this game and load last state - strange ain't , kinda like a pc bug, but it kinda pisses you off when you finish those 6 level sub-missions and get the update and it freezes
and stop comparing this to gta4 , gta4 had a realistic story that could be real , SW2 is like a cartoon version of Gta with a Hollywood story (dumb down action and lots of GORE )
The fun factor is really high in this game. This one got no vsync problems like the first one (even tho it got fixed with a patch). The framerate is very good compared to the first one too. Of course you can feel some... well, not really slowdowns but that you get a little lower FPS when lots of shit happen at once, but it doesn't ruine the gameplay like in the first one. Its more fun to drive a boat in this game than GTA 4, not as boring
And, yo got to love to throw people off buildings, in front of the train etc.
