Finally Beat Gears 3.... [spoilers]

[ejb626]

Well, I got downed an awful lot and it took me a while to figure out that you could only hit the queen with the Hammer of Dawn while she was on the ground. (Which made me feel rather stupid after I realized it) but I found it to be OK.

so i just beat gears 3 on hardcore with a friend, and i just wanted to know, who else thought that boss battle at the end was the most repetitive, most frustrating, boring motherfucking boss battle of all time?

i mean the amount of fucking guards just climbing the walls, and that fat ass wasp thing constantly burning you, flying off, then attacking the tower and repeating about 10 times, i got so annoyed i was about to just leave it. (but i didnt, i beat it)

Please tell me your experiences with the battle and what you thought of it

Nope. I loved it. This is coming from someone with little care for the series, I actually REALLY liked the final boss. Played it with a bunch of friends, the entire thing felt like a bonafide "final encounter". And the amount of Palace Guards that kept making your life even worse on top of the queen instantfrying your team made everything so much worse, in a good way. In the type of way that's satisfying as hell once you actually manage to complete it.

I found a lot of the ending in Gears 3 to be a bit underwhelming in comparison to Gears 2. While it's final boss was pathetically easy you still got to romp around on a giant dinosaur(Brumak) and murderize the hell out of the locust stronghold before it was all over.

A similer event is missing entirly in Gears 3.

I thought the entire Brumak riding thing was insanely boring. Really, the campaign for Gears2 was disappointing. And the final nail on the disappointing coffin was the entirely boring ending sequence once you get the Brumak. I really thought the whole thing sucked from that point on.

At least RAAM was a genuine threat, that required some figuring out to beat. Skorge was a fun fight, but he wasn't that dangerous. I was not compelled to play the game through on Insane at all (Unlike Gears 1, and Gears 3).

I think the final encounter for Gears 3 was a good way to end the game.

That part was bullshit on insane. I gave up completely.

It goes on the tower, and the only way I can get a clear shot is to go out in the open and disregard everything around.

Too many fucking therons.

I liked it on the weaker difficulties. But on insane it made me rage in my pants.

Played it on hardcore, solo. The boss fight was long, boring and tedious. Felt like regular WoW boss with the 2/3 phases where you had to stand at certain points at a certain time while you whittled down his hit points.
No thinking on your feet or making any meaningful judgement. Just learn and follow the choreography.

Yeah, I never finished Gears 3, but if you want the most repetitive, boring, frustrating boss battle, try soloing the last boss in the Borderlands campaign on Playthrough 2. Took me 55 minutes to beat because I took him on at level 58ish and he was like level 62ish and I was hardly doing any damage at all to him. Finally did it though. Damn Borderlands sucks playing alone.

I thought the whole ordeal was meh. Took way to long to beat with next to no real challenge from her. She could and should have changed tactics half way through instead of just doing the same thing 5 -10 times (depending on difficulty or how many co op partners not sure).

Spoilers


And you mean to tell me she survived the tower being dropped on her skull, numerous hammer strikes (and bullets) and a knife in her guts kills her???? If Dom was packin some magic knife why in the hell didn't he use it earlier??? Could have used it to take out that lambent berserker (my personal most hated boss ever) with a single little poke ffs
