Gears for the win.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 04:55 AM
Im voting for Fallout and I have never played 3 or New Vegas as I gained my wings with single XP the hard way what a joke why belittle the hard graft I put in by giving wings away Ferguson and IffyB suck big timeThursday, April 07, 2011 @ 04:55 AM
Fuck it. Im voting FalloutThursday, April 07, 2011 @ 04:55 AM
Good to see they are still doing these XP events, it's a shame most people will probably just moan that this kind of thing ruins these polls.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 04:59 AM
Yeah #2 ...Cliffy B and Rod suck big because you decided to spend your time a certain way. Cool story BRO!Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 04:59 AM
I'm voting for Gears. Not for the XP, but because New Vegas was awful.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 05:00 AM
i hop they learn something from tis and don't put a accouterments on insane online play. hard to get and no it is just a few h of bosting and its yours. i have bin mad if i spent 200 h to get it and now it easyThursday, April 07, 2011 @ 05:01 AM
is there already a date known? i heard from a buddy that when they do XP events they usually also enable a special playlist for annex. the perfect time to get Annex: Now With Execution Rules!Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 05:06 AM
Awwwww, but Fallout is better:(Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 05:07 AM
They should have offered free DLC to everyone who votes instead...Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 05:07 AM
love gears, love fallout seen as i already have my wings will no need for the event so will just abstain as i can't decide which i love the mostThursday, April 07, 2011 @ 05:09 AM
Fallout gets my vote, simply because the Fallout devs aren't trying to bribe me for it.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 05:09 AM
whens the event start? is it this weekendThursday, April 07, 2011 @ 05:10 AM
#5 No they suck because they are giving away wings that were only going to be earned if you were willing to sink 100+ hours into the MP, why not have 1,000,000 x XP event and be done with it any prestige that went with the chievo is now diluted because it is accessible to all Cool Story Bastado 8(Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 05:12 AM
Fuck no. Fallout FTMFW.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 05:16 AM
Make it x50 or more & I will vote for you as it will still take forever & a day to get them bloody wings anyway! That achievement is as stupid as seriously am all for playing multiplayer for a long time but I only have soooooo many hours aday to play it.Some people do work you know.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 05:17 AM
I'm tired of these Gears XP events where we have to vote for something becase Raam was not the best villian ever and Gears is not better than Fallout. Epic is starting to seem like a bunch of fame whores who just buy people's votes with a chance to earn extra XP.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 05:23 AM
@14 ... im glad all your prestige is gone, i wave all your prestige goodbye as it sails out the window and vanishes in the wind...wait, i didn't even recognize your prestige in the first place...which means i missed nothing. With that said, can't wait to earn my wings with this 30x multi...hey CONTRACT...ill message you once i get the cheevo *pop*Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 05:25 AM
I have to wonder why they feel the need to farm votesThursday, April 07, 2011 @ 05:29 AM
come on people vote for gears, if not for yourself, do it for your fellow gamers!Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 05:31 AM
I've got mine anyway, so vote gears for those who havn'tThursday, April 07, 2011 @ 05:31 AM
Not that I mind all of these XP events, of course, but they really should stop dancing around the cow and just smack in that 100x XP.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 05:32 AM
I don't even have an account on there, but I am making one just to vote.. ..for Fallout. Fallout 3 is 100x the game Gears 2 ever was.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 05:35 AM
Man I miss g4tv. Directv gave em the boot and now I don't have that channel any more but I'm always on the net. Could care less for xp event or even less for fallout.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 05:38 AM
All these people moaning about the dilution of an achievement - really?! It doesn't matter whether you spend 1000's of hours or 100 hours to obtain an achievement - that fact is that an achievement is earned regardless of the time taken to obtain it. Some people dont have the luxury of 1000's of hours to sink into a game, what with work, school, family commitments etc and so I personally see nothing wrong with them doing these XP events for two reasons. Firstly it makes the achievement more accessible and secondly it prolongs the multiplayer of what was/is already an amazing game. What would you rather they did an EA and just shut the online servers off to protect the "prestige" of owning the achievement? Gimme a break.... OT - I'd vote Gears anyways, irrespective of the "incentive" from the developers. There'd be nothing stopping Fallout Devs offering cheap or free DLC if winning this (pretty pointless) poll meant that much to them. Wonder how many people would complain about that....Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 05:39 AM
Dirty play from Rod there bribering people to vote for Gears for 30X XP. Still a good chance for people who haven't gained their wings yet. I might vote for Fallout as i will vote on the game I think is better and not for xp boost.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 05:40 AM
Already have my wings, but am starting to grow annoyed of these "vote buying" methods. Just do the xp event anyway, we bought the game didnt we?Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 05:42 AM
Gears is a great game in my opinion, and I'd gladly welcome the 30x XP, but bribing people to get it is beyond cheap. I enjoy Fallout and Gears, don't think one is better than the other, but their both great games, not voting regardless.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 05:44 AM
Fallout will win but I want Gears to win.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 05:58 AM
These events sound more and more desperate each time.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 06:01 AM
id like to see gears win it specially with the gears 3 launch only months away get everyone interested in playing gears for one more week before gears 3 comes out and everyone ends up playing it til they decide they have found a flaw in the game and decide to go back to the originals againThursday, April 07, 2011 @ 06:07 AM
I am useless at Gears but enjoy playing every now and again. These xp events are useful for us casual gears players to help get their wings. I know people who got it legit but that is because they love the game and play it whether there are achievements or not.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 06:14 AM
Fuck it - I got my wings eons ago! - but my bro still needs his wings! - and Gears Of War is indeed the better franchise! - (still luv fallout, but gears beats em!!!)Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 06:23 AM
Fallout is a better Game but im Voting for Gears.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 06:28 AM
Gotta get all those "reach lvl xx" cheives.! I'm goin w/ gears.!Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 06:28 AM
i actually agree with no. 2. the people who got it by hard work now have nothing to show for it, as someone who has less experince and skill will with this end up with the same rank...Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 06:28 AM
Wait a sec, Gears a better franchise than Fallout? Hell the fuck no not even close (still fun though).Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 06:37 AM
Sorry Gears, this one goes to FalloutThursday, April 07, 2011 @ 06:42 AM
even though they are COMPLETLY DIFFERENT GAMES , I vote fallout for the reason of not geting bored with it like I did with GOW.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 06:50 AM
Wow, guess I'm pretty lonely on this boat eh? Fallout isn't even as good, let alone better than Gears. I've beaten both Gears 2-3 times each, and Fallout 3, I stopped playing after about 3hrs due to sheer boredom and annoyance. XP events don't float my boat, cause I don't give a rats ass about MP and the cheeves that go with it (ALL games, not just Gears), but I think it's cool that they do this. Hey, you want the cheeves, then an XP weekend is probably the best/easiest way to get it at this point. And to @#36, the first multi XP weekend was what, 8months after release... more? If you got it "legit" (sorry, but even XP weekends are legit) or a better way, got it "the cool/l33t way", then the date you got the cheeve will prove your "ubernerdness", over someone who obtained it on the 30x weekend. If dick stroking cheeve parties are what you're into. :/Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 06:56 AM
I lol @2's rage.... I have my wings but I'll vote for gears of war for the people who didn't get theirsThursday, April 07, 2011 @ 06:56 AM
@ Chainsaw Chuck - Are you insinuating that people are going to be starting from rank 1 to grind out 30x xp into rank 100 in a short amount of time? Come on. Be realistic. It's for players who don't get to grind as hard and still want to earn their bonus on GoW3. Like it's going to affect your gaming persona at all. Boo freakin' hoo.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 07:10 AM
Fallout is clearly better than Gears. That's like asking which is better, Chinatown or Blue Crush?Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 07:13 AM
Saying one game is better than the other is pure opinion. But I think anyone can agree that this is kind of a cheap tactic. But anyone interested in this XP event probably would have voted Gears originally so it probably won't be terribly effective. Who knows.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 07:20 AM
@2 - Well whoopdy-fuckin-do! Good for you, you did it before the XP events, so you just took longer than others. A medal and some cookies are on their way to you. Do you still live at 0121 Up your own arse lane? I'm voting Gears just for this event, because unlike certain individuals, I think it's nice that people are allowed a less stressful time getting the achievements...Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 07:26 AM
Much as I have voted for Gears just to get the 30xp on I find it highly amusing this attempt at shameless bribery seems to have totally backfired :-DThursday, April 07, 2011 @ 07:37 AM
For people saying Gears' franchise is better than the Fallout franchise, they mustve haven't played any other fallout game besides New Vegas and 3. Don't foeget about the Fallouts that are on PC. GoW only has 2 gamesThursday, April 07, 2011 @ 07:38 AM
You can't really compare the 2 because fallout is so classicThursday, April 07, 2011 @ 07:41 AM
When did rolling around like an epaleptic and shotgunning people in the face become legit? Go 30xpThursday, April 07, 2011 @ 07:45 AM
Bribing people? Well plaid!Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 07:48 AM
I'm torn here. I hate Gears of War. Definitely one of the worst games I've played this generation. But as I'm a little achievement bitch, a chance to complete it quicker is one I would jump at. But the 360 fallouts (can't comment on the others as I'm yet to try them) are bloody brilliant. So I'm not gonna vote. I hope you guys make the right decision in my placeThursday, April 07, 2011 @ 07:50 AM
Best franchise? Fallout, and just for the first two games. :)Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 07:54 AM
Vote gears really need these or i will never get my wingsThursday, April 07, 2011 @ 08:06 AM
Wouldn't for fallout for a million dollarsThursday, April 07, 2011 @ 08:16 AM
I got my wings a few months back, so I don't have a problem helping you guys out.. Eaither way I would vote gears as fallout isent really my kind of gameThursday, April 07, 2011 @ 08:19 AM
Going Fallout. And not just for the 360 games, but the whole series.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 08:20 AM
All the trolls will be voting for Fallout. I have my wings but will vote Gears because it IS a better franchise, and i like to think i'm helping others. ^_^Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 08:24 AM
Fallout > lame generic cover shootersThursday, April 07, 2011 @ 08:25 AM
Wow I'm a troll because I voted for the better franchise? The one that's been around longer, had a bunch of great games, and better storylines? Sorry I'm not a super twitchy shooty-game person.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 08:30 AM
mmm as much as i like gears, i love fallout. fallout is far superior than ANY game/franchise out there.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 08:35 AM
Fallout all the way LOL Even with bugs recent games were awesome, but first two are legends by now:-)Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 08:38 AM
Voted Fallout, because it's a much better series than Gears.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 08:44 AM
As much as I love Gears... I love Fallout, just as as much if not more. Decisions, decisions....Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 08:48 AM
It's not hard. I would have voted for Fallout anyway :PThursday, April 07, 2011 @ 08:51 AM
my question is why is he comparing fallout to gears? i vote fallout sorry:( he should have said black ops or mw2 instead.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 08:54 AM
at this point, most people will only need the "seriuosly 2.0" achievement. i wish they would do something for that.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 09:07 AM
If it was 360 Fallout(s) vs. the Gears of War franchise, then Gears would win. But when you talk about the entire Fallout franchise, there is no question. Fallout gets my vote.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 09:15 AM
@36: I don't totally agree with you, because.. not all max level players is actually good. I mean, if you do put in the hours in the game.. you'll reach the max level no matter what. Just look at CoD, you can see a 10/15th prestige running around and be soooo crap at the game!! But then again, you have the players who deserve the max rank.. and then it sucks for them. As for the xp events, I like them! Because I'm a completionst whore.. and I just HAVE to get all chievos to feel done with the game. I'm no GoW player, or skilled at it for that matter. One reason ofc is the server issues and host advantage (I live in Norway). The buying votes "strategy" is alittle old now, but they're still doing this for the community. They got my stamp of approval!!Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 09:19 AM
Man, tough call. I love both series. Haven't played the F1 and F2 games in ages, my little netbook won't run them!!!! Still have to get back to F3, just haven't had the time. Drooling for Gears 3 in the fall...so much drool.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 09:25 AM
Voted gears for the xp event but gears 2 sucks ass gears 1 ftw i'll still max out gears 2 though even if it is garbageThursday, April 07, 2011 @ 09:28 AM
@67: That's the sad thing, most people are only thinking of 360 with this. Oh those young whippersnappers.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 09:31 AM
I 100% agree this will ruin the polls... but still hope Gears wins because I want that XP. I only got this past December (always meant to buy it, never did), and now the online community is almost dead. I just want my wings before it's 100% dead, and these XP events bring lots of people, especially bad ones that give lots of XP. In the x27 or x29 or whatever the GDC XP event was, I got a nice chunk of levels out of the way, and 30 will only help get it further. I don't care about the other MP achievements, I can get those with a small group of friends. But the wings... gonna be a biiiiiiitch since almost noone plays anymore. Once GoW3 beta hits, GoW2 online is dead.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 09:36 AM
Considering I have very little experience with Fallout, I wouldn't know which to vote for. I hear the first two games are amazing, but they were before my time. I haven't played Fallout 3 much, and New Vegas is still in my backlog. Even if I had played all of them, I still think it would be a tough choice, considering both series brought something new to a genre that was stagnant and/or almost nonexistent at the time.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 09:57 AM
I have my wings but this is pathetic and kinda cheating the vote, Fallout's gets my vote because theres so many things to do on them and its a game i prefer to play.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 10:04 AM
Seriously...what does Gears have that's original other than the chainsaw lancer? I've always enjoyed Unreal Tournament far more than Gears, single player as well as multiplayer. The campaigns are decent the first run through but boring after that, everything is the same drab gray brown color.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 10:12 AM
@ 75 - To be fair, Gears truly started the Horde Mode addition (or was the first to debut it) and the wall cover mechanic which most people may not like but many games have copied it since.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 10:19 AM
@ 76. Gears 2 might have started a Survival mode in Multiplayer Shooters while thats has been a very old concept in games esepecially in the Fighting game genre. Gears copied their cover system from Killswitch, which was a game on the PS2 and Xbox. That makes Epic the original copier instead of the original provider.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 10:26 AM
DirecTV got rid of G4tv. so now i have no nerdy news, and no allison haislip.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 10:28 AM
Meh I already have my Wings, but Gears of War is the reason I stuck with 360 instead of moving to PS3, and I hate the Fallout series, so I would vote for Gears regardless.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 10:29 AM
Gears gets the vote simply because how broke fall out new vegas was is when it came out is out.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 10:48 AM
@ 77 - Killswitch did come out first? Well I'll be a strawberry shmucker. Well in defense of the Survival mode thing, Gears started the kind that pits more and more enemies at you as it progresses rather than limited health and just one harder enemy after another. Which is why I still consider every iteration from Gears on as a horde mode. Good point though.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 10:55 AM
What a surprise. Gears of Fail has to bribe the community to try and win a poll. Fallout>Gears anyday. Comparing Fallout and Gears is like comparing Black Ops and Vampire Rain. Fallout actually deserves the high ratings it got. Still, Gears will win because all the fanboys and achievement whores will vote for it.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 11:12 AM
Fall out all the way Its a way better game. Stop trying to steal the thunder Cliffy B.itchThursday, April 07, 2011 @ 11:14 AM
So wait they are bribing votes by offering a x30 xp weekend? Seems they have realised that they will lose to the fallout franchise. Epic is a weak company in my opinion if it needs to bribe people rather than be confident in the franchise.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 11:16 AM
New Vegas was terrible, but... barring whatever the hell Bethesda were smoking when they decided to release Mothership Zeta, Fallout is a quality franchise. This is actually a difficult vote.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 11:26 AM
Oh c'mon. We gonna start an all out war just because some people like a certain game over another? Get over it and grow-up. They're just games and everyone has their own entertainment preference. Kudos to those that enjoy the Fallout series (ALL OF THEM) and kudos to those that prefer Gears. Now stop arguing like babies. And I have to agree with everyone about the bribing thing. It's getting rather ridiculous. Why can't they just offer it up because they feel like being nice? Because they're asshats, that's why. Also, I'm tired of the people that complain about others getting their Wings the 'easy way'. There are a lot of us that have lives and can't spend hours upon hours on the game. Some have family, others have work and families. Shoot, some, even though are still kids, have other things aside from video games that they want to do. I started out getting the wings cheevo with XP events. But now, they're nice...because I am WAAAY too busy chasing after my nine-year-old to sit and grind harder than I need to. I spend way more time relaxing with my family that's for sure. And again, prestige? It's a game. Bragging rights? That'll last off of 5 minutes, if that. Stop dogging on the people that are just joining up and want to get levels via XP events. And stop dogging on people that has a preference over one game compared to another.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 11:30 AM
The only way Gears would ever beat Fallout is with a bribe, it's painfully obvious which is the better game. Cliffy B is such a douche, he has no respect for anything not made by Epic. Long live Vault 13! Vote Fallout!Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 11:46 AM
Voted for Fallout - it's the better game and by the looks of it, Epic already know they'll lose.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 11:47 AM
Looks like FO is gonna lose though since it's been dropping, and people are making multiple accounts to spam the votes just so they can have their xp weekend. Oh well, bribes do work.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 11:52 AM
I voted Gears even before knowing the 30xp, I don't like RPG's at all and I still to this day play Gears 2 every night. I play for fun and not the XP, Gears > Fallout. Everytime.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 12:06 PM
@ 90 - Wish I had your perseverance sir. I love Gears but the MP is just mind-numbing. At least the objective matches where morons just milk kills like there's no tomorrow. Though, I'm sure those people are lumped in with the people who talk about "Earning" their wings. Obviously not everyone but almost every match I was in as such lasted for like 40 minutes. Amazing waste of time.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 12:18 PM
@90 That's cool if ya don't like RPG's, at least you didn't just vote for the xp. I did like and beat both Gears games, but after the campaigns, the mp just didn't do it for me to keep around. I've been with Fallout since it's daddy that birthed it, "Wasteland" when I was a kid, and love RPG's that aren't the typical swords and dragons and whatnots.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 12:25 PM
Fallout, it's better and, cause frankly, bribing voters to win round 2 of an internet contest? LameThursday, April 07, 2011 @ 12:41 PM
I think gears is a great game and so is fallout I've spent countless hours on both. But im gonna have to vote for fallout just because I've had a more enjoyable time and not only that this here trying to sway the vote is just plain wrong. Come on Rob like seriously :/Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 12:48 PM
@ 19, because Ron and Cliffy B. both have small dicks and the only time they get to see them is when they win voting challenges that mean absolutely fucking nothing. And let me go out on a limb here, if you don't have your "wings" by now, then you are probably as pathetic as the douche nozzles at Epicfuckoffs!! I hope Cliffy B. takes Ron for a ride in his lambo and slams into a concrete embankment at full speed... and by the grace of some god, if they manage to live, I hope the 1st responders on site suffocate them to death. Yes, I do hate them...Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 12:49 PM
Let me correct myself, his name is ROD, because he is a tool...Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 01:29 PM
@ nitemarecreator - You focus a lot on those two and falic objects. Dicks, rods & tools? Closet exit for one please.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 01:50 PM
*yawn* Breen was better than RAAM, and Fallout: New Vegas is much better than Gears of War 2. Plus, GearsViking is just like a politician, thinking he can buy votes.. I'm voting for F:NV because it's the better game AND to stick it to GearsViking. I hope he realizes that you can't buy votes. (Even though it worked last time. -.-)Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 02:01 PM
Look like this might backfire. People with wings feel cheapen that it is getting easier and easier to get it with all the xp events. (Even though it is a video game rank and getting butthurt over it seems stupid) and other people feel that what CliffyB is doing is wrong. Either way just vote for what is in your best interest. If you think Fallout is better vote for it, if you want the xp event vote for it. Seriously, you guys make it out like Cliffy butchered your parents.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 02:02 PM
All you people are bitching about how Gears is trying to win this by offering something. Is it me or shouldnt that be a reason of why we should vote it, because they are offering something for the fans. You wouldnt bitch at a game because it came with something for free would you? In my opinion gears isnt the better game due to the fact that they messed up the multiplayer by trying to fix it so much. Yes the game had problems (ie shield glitch) but they just continued to mess around with it by taking out downing with smoke grenades then adding it back in ect. However fallout Vegas was very alike the 3rd one, and it had loads of glitches. So just put it down to a vote of Epic vs BethesdaThursday, April 07, 2011 @ 02:08 PM
I don't understand why you people are getting so mad saying epic is bribing...Maybe they're just trying to be a good company and reward gamers with a celebration of a victory in something (pointless if you ask me) if gears beat fallout in a vote for better franchise I think thats something to celebrate for them cuz fallout is a much bigger much more popular franchise and has been around longer, Epic needs to find some more reasons to give exp events out so they chose this, and stop complaining how much time you put into earning your wings who really cares? You still earned it, why are you so mad?Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 02:21 PM
i hope those who dont have it get it i seriously cant play this game anymore and i agree epic is getting a little cheesy whats the point in winning a contest if your bribing one side dirty dirty politicansThursday, April 07, 2011 @ 02:51 PM
I lol every time I see someone griping about these XP events. "whaa whaa whaaa they are giving away wings and I played over 100 hours to get mine whaa whaaa." LOL. Some of us have lives.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 03:01 PM
@#2 OMG you spent hundreds of hours on one game! your so cool, i want to be just like you when I grow up... hopefully I can get the same self righteous attitude and "internet balls" you have. cry about it, seriously... (see what I did there?)Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 03:04 PM
*votes for Fallout* I hate when people try to tamper with results.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 03:06 PM
Gears of War is hardly an illustrious series compared to Fallout anyway.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 03:22 PM
Lest we all forget - These are video games and shouldn't have any effect, dramatic or no, on your life whatsoever. If you enjoy it, play it. If you don't, avoid it. The people that partake in these contests and polls should eventually realize that it's really going nowhere. Your side wins? Big deal. The sun still rises, your penis will get bigger and smaller and food will still taste good or bad. If your side loses, same stuff but you'll actually waste energy with the pouting and the ranting and the who really cares? Both games bring their highs and lows to the table. Gears - Highs - Epic campaign. Not just another space marine tale and (so far) a dramatic fight for survival with some balls to the walls moments. Fun time wasting Horde mode. Gears - Lows - Multiplayer server dedication. Assholes (however, available in EVERY MP game) Fallout - Highs - Amazing post apocalyptic open worlder with a very intuitive blend of FPS and RPG elements. Choose your path style gameplay. Fat-man. Fallout - Lows - Glitchy due to the massive content and amazingly gorgeous world graphics (2 of my DLCs just stopped allowing me to progress). Grindy (this can be pro or con. If you want to talk Series' - Fallout should take the cake. The early styled 3/4 camera gameplay worked well and the evolution (much like how most of us fans adapted to RE4 and so on) sat even better with fans. But Gears should not be left in the dust. Face it people, if it was as bad as the haters portray, wouldn't it be in the bargain bin with other culty-flops like Two Worlds, Overlord and Army of Two? All seemed to have great ideas but by the time the next one came out, everyone seemed to have moved on. Play the games you like. Enjoy the games. Don't enforce them. You didn't make 'em.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 03:23 PM
@#100 really? Epic vs Bethesda? That is even more ridiculous than Gears vs Fallout. It's like comparing a Snes to an Xbox, yeah they are a similar product but you can't justifiably compare the two. Betheada has a great track record aside from New Vegas (which they fixed right away, how long did the shield glitch in gears take to fix?) Where as epic has done gears and........wait, gears is the only notable franchise. I did not like gears series that much, they were decent games and if you like a decent co-op game it is by all means a game worth playing, but does it have the staying power of Fallout? I think the gears series has a chance now that Karrin Traviss is writing the story but I don't know if that will be enough to make it a stellar game, corse Skyrim (Another amazing Bethesda series) comes out this year and I have no doubts it will be phenomenal. Only time will tell but I have a feelling I will be watching my kids play fallout games long after the gears series had died.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 03:27 PM
Sick of them handing out these xp bonuses so I'm voting Fallout. It makes the people who got their wings legit look not as prestigious. It's kind of insulting. Who the hell holds a x22 xp multiplier.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 03:30 PM
Oh shit, and would you look at that this one will be x30 xp...Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 03:39 PM
@ 109 - But does it really matter that much? There's no real prize. No true standing in the world. I mean, I don't think anyone really pays attention to leadboards much anymore. It's like I said, the xp multiplier is fine with me since I got shafted in a bunch of BS matches. Gears barely even rewards you for your effort. It's like the old Halo 3 XP system. You had to bust your ass for a few measly XP and if you were lucky on the losing team, you'd get 1 whole xp point. You'd suffer at the hands of your own team mates. Point is, again, if it doesn't affect your core gameplay experience then Who Really Cares? You ever stop to think about any team based multiplayer game and how many people just do their own thing? Defeats the purpose of the whole Team thing but you don't see it destroying multiplayer in general. Just have fun is all. Polls and such suck the fun out of it.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 03:50 PM
I love how everyone who said that they didn't vote for Gears got a bunch of thumbs downs...haha. Shows who's truly mature, eh? Gotta love voting...but it looks like Fallout's gonna win..Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 03:56 PM
Im must say i have all games in both series gears is good i wasnt a big fan of online but im a huge fan of fallout new vegas may not have been good as 3 but in my opinion it was still epic.(no pun intended)Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 04:01 PM
Wow that isn't right. Gears is good but fallout is a better game, them knowing that they have to bribe their players? if their game was truly better than fallout no bribe would be needed...Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 04:18 PM
I voted for Fallout on the first day of voting, so that's that, and while Gears is a great francise, Fallout in the long run is slightly better. Anyhow Fallout's up 10 points as of 10 minutes ago, so chances are no 30X experience.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 04:35 PM
Well it says round 2 pick time is now over and Fallout beat Gears 54% to 46%. Works for me as Fallout is a better game series then Gears, IMO. Gears 1 had a good story and Gears 2 horde mode was fun but the rest of both games was rubbish.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 04:50 PM
Haha why are people so pissed that it's easier for people to get there wings isn't that what xp events are all about? No one told you to put in all that time when the game came out. I think it's awesome they do xp events, got me back in Gow2 a little more. Plus there's still people just barely getting gears along with CoD and other games. Quit complaining about wings they mean nothing and if they do then kudos 2 u sir!Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 04:55 PM
Don't get me wrong. I love Gears of War. But Fallout 3 is better than Gears of War 2... I'll vote for Gears of War, but it's not what I believe is the better choice.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 04:57 PM
@40 lmao wow your going by 3hrs of gameplay? Try beating the game and playing the DLC's that's the best part. BACK 2 UR CAVE!Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 05:01 PM
Bribing people is a little cheap. I have not played fallout so im not going to vote.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 05:09 PM
Gears is by far the better franchise in my opinion. I can't stand the Fallout series. I LOVE Gears. However, my vote is still going to Fallout because this constant bribing-for-XP-events thing got old ages ago.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 05:32 PM
Please vote for GOW 2 we need that 30x exp event. I have already voted for gears 2 and you SHOULD do the same. I still can't wiat for GoW 3 it's going to be awesome!Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 06:07 PM
@122 Same Old Sob Story we hear EVERY time an event is coming. "We need it" "We weren't available for the other ones!" You should've done it when we have had regular events (Like the ones on Valentine's Day) rather than sitting on your butts playing Black Ops or something else!Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 06:08 PM
Fallout 3 is good, but I prefer Oblivion. Didn't like the way they did the nuked land in Fallout 3, the graphics where average.They could have done better.I could never get into fallout 3 because it looked cheap.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 06:25 PM
Are you kidding me? Notice how he wants to bribe when Gears goes up against a game that they can't win against. The last time they did this was with GameSpots "Best Villian" it was Gman against Raam, and Rod Fergusson said ok guys 20xp if Raam beats Gman. Give me a break how can you feel good about your game winning against another game by bribe? Sorry but Fallout has my vote.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 06:32 PM
@2 I did the same thing, but I am making a new gamertag and wouldn't like to go through the annoying leveling process a second time. This experience event would help immensely.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 07:41 PM
Fallout's way better. GoW2 is a total flop as far as competitive multiplayer is concerned.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 07:59 PM
I think we are all missing the point here. Since when has G4TV had anything to do with video games?Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 08:23 PM
I don't think that this was a fair poll, comparing a very epic game such as Fallout which stole 100+ hours from me to Gears of War which is a great game but it's not really fair to compare a third person fast paced shooter to a slow playing First person RPG. Fallout has my vote beyond any other game out there, but that's just meThursday, April 07, 2011 @ 09:12 PM
Normally, I would be all for this. Unfortunately, my rank reset and I really so little to no point in attempting to reach rank 100, let alone my old rank of 69 (no joke), after this unpleasant incident. If I play now, it will only be for fun and that's a difficult task seeing as how I am so dreadfully out of practice. Me not having fun anymore is my own trip, but my rank resetting didn't help me rediscover the joys of GOW2. :T Just saying...Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 09:47 PM
Not on my watch does. . . never mind this is the dumbest poll I have ever seen. Really, starcraft over elder scrolls. Um.. . .Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 09:58 PM
@131 Agreed. It should be WoW vs Starcraft, Fallout vs Elder Scrolls , Zelda vs Final Fantasy... I mean...look at Madden was sup against...really? REALLY?Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 10:19 PM
Ugh. As series go in general, Gears beating Fallout would be a slap in the face to every walk of life.Thursday, April 07, 2011 @ 11:22 PM
Have my Wings already... I voted for the better series... Gears of War. Then again, I HATE RPG's... so it is an easy choice for me. Just so anyone who makes it to my (134th) comment... Currently it is 53% to 47% Fallout winning, with 8 hours left to vote. =)Friday, April 08, 2011 @ 12:47 AM
saying fallout is better is retarded.there 2 completely different games.Friday, April 08, 2011 @ 01:05 AM
Time for bed. I'll wake up and see Fallout as the obvious winner. Hopefully Link won as well.Friday, April 08, 2011 @ 04:03 AM
Fallout has won no disrespect but i thought fallout was a awfull game i had to stop playing the game after 2 hours so boring oh well they're deserved winners. personnaly i prefer Gears and wanted my wings but each to their own tastes and i salute fallout for their win i hate the fact Gears were bribing their fans to vote for them thats a bit pathentic can't believe also assassins creed demolished COD lol mass effect for 1st placeFriday, April 08, 2011 @ 06:59 AM
Well damnit...There goes the chance to get Veteran Gear achievment for me :/Friday, April 08, 2011 @ 08:02 AM
No, isn't that kind of cheating, its like bribing and its bullshit, I voted fallout, its obviously the better game, F:NV might not of been as good as 3, it was still a good game. And the series is just better in general.Friday, April 08, 2011 @ 08:26 AM
It's pretty sad that they have to bride the public to vote in their favor. Maybe they should have thought things through regarding the games XP system before release. FALLOUT all the wayFriday, April 08, 2011 @ 12:56 PM
gears for the win everytime, never get bored of it.Friday, April 08, 2011 @ 04:12 PM
@108 Sir, I am going to slap you so hard that your head will do 360 in an instant. Gears is only notable franchise from Epic. Is this a fucking joke, guess or straight out insult? I suppose you never heard of Unreal Tournament, one of the greatest franchises for PC back in the days? Or not so long arcade Shadow Complex which was awesome even for arcade. Man, oh man it pisses me off when ppl have no fucking clue what they're on about:-] Off topic - gears lost, maybe Rod will give everyone 2x just because you tried:-)Friday, April 08, 2011 @ 06:30 PM
@23 Did it say Fallout 3 No. Did it say Gears 2 no it said Fallout and Gears of War series and I'm pretty sure Fallout New Vegas Blew as did Gears2(even though I love it), thought I would let you know.Friday, April 08, 2011 @ 06:35 PM
@everyone bagging on Gears, why should I vote for Fallout there not offering anyhing. Since where wasting our time voting on tis stupid poll atleast there giving us a 30x XpFriday, April 08, 2011 @ 06:40 PM
Its pretty sad you spelled bribe wrong.Friday, April 08, 2011 @ 06:41 PM
that was to 140Friday, April 08, 2011 @ 06:44 PM
haahha dont know why everyone is getting so worked up about this. NV has DLC coming next week (i think) so we are all happy, and Gears will undoubtably have some sort of week before gears 3 is out where they will hand out XP for just going online. Fortunately, i like Fallout simply because it's Fallout, but if i need a brainless, chainsaw hacking, locust whomping, predator look-a-like game, Gears welcomes me with open arms! Spread the love people, spread the loveSaturday, April 09, 2011 @ 02:36 AM
Not voting, since the Whole EXP system is something I do not encourageSaturday, April 09, 2011 @ 02:12 PM
fallout wonSaturday, April 09, 2011 @ 08:24 PM
i like fallout waaaaay more than gears, but i need my my wings, i'm off to add to the irrelevance of this poleSunday, April 10, 2011 @ 11:36 AM
DAMMIT!Thursday, April 14, 2011 @ 09:56 PM
Gears FTWTuesday, April 19, 2011 @ 11:29 AM
I keep missing these, been grinding gow2 for 4 days now, got from lvl 1 to 59Thursday, April 28, 2011 @ 04:35 PM
GEARS, I Need that 100
Thursday, April 07, 2011
If - like us - those multiplayer wings are still eluding you in Gears of War 2, then listen up. There's still a chance to max out your XP and reach the top level, as Executive Producer Rod Fergusson has been offering a bribe for players to get a 30x XP weekend on the go.
"Ok, time to bribe. We beat Fallout and you get a 30x XP weekend. Just saying..." reads Fergusson's (aka GearsViking) latest tweet on his Twitter feed
Fergusson is referring to G4TV's Video Game Deathmatch, which is currently pitting Gears of War against Fallout in the battle for best franchise. Cast a vote for Gears, and you'll increase the chances of getting another 30x XP weekend in Gears 2 to boost your rank.
Head over to the G4TV Video Game Deathmatch poll now if you want to vote.
