Anybody who played Ultima Online knows what the worst launch ever was.

However, I will admit that this seems to be a large number of problems for a game with such a huge following and so much time and money put behind it.

All the things you've noted are productions fault, and besides the hilarious picture don't really have anything to do with EPIC ir Mcrosoft (except the LE stuff, but who honetly reads the art book? I doubt it really said "mole-people".

Or am I taking this the wrong way again?

Fantastic effort on bringing us the latest, greatest Gears 2 news, but you've overlooked the shamefully unfinished ending - they didn't meet anything approaching the target render for the final cutscene.

Just look at these character designs (spoiler: Locust queen vs. Marcus Fenix final showdown):


No wonder there's so many complaints. I just can't believe people are already anticipating Gears of War 3, because the format is just too predictable - as we can deterine from these teasers screenshots released just this morning. First a couple of easy levels to get us feeling nice and confident in our skills, so we buy the whole badass marketing bullshit



then a tedious grind though underground caverns to root out the Locust once and for all... again



Where's it going to end, Epic? I mean why bother. People are only buying for the multiplayer at this point anyway. You might as well just release a game that consists entirely of deathmatches and team-based objective matches. That would be unreal for tournaments.

that is an awesome owl. i would have pre-ordered and even purchased gears of war for that.
i really hope its not fake, because if its real then it means that they ARENT total dicks, it was just a disguise so they could pull the old owl-and-foot trick.

THat photo is priceless. I would much rather have that than some grainy brown picture of a video game character. They should have put that picture in the game too. And I will admit that the French artbook is a bit of a crock, and just gives me more reason to hate Cliffy B.

I lol'd. Subtle troll is subtle.
But if you troll a troll, is it still a troll or is it like a double-negative and cancels out?
It's still a troll. Perhaps a mutant troll, like one with two heads and two brains or something, but a troll nonetheless.

Brilliant, but I would not like to get that picture.
What would my family think of me?
"How did you get this picture?"
"It came with a game I got"
"That's the oldest trick in the book"
But...
