In Response To: Re: Susan O'Connor - process of games writing OT (The More Deluded)


: Mmm...

: I havn't got live, and I was considering getting gears. Is it actually worth
: it?

: I think I'd play splitscreen with me mates, but that wouldn't be that often,
: does it justify getting the game?

The levels are very linear. The action can be very intense even on casual difficulty. When I first played the game, I played it about half way through without knowing that I could zoom into the target, this was a stupid oversight on my part, I didn't even think to pull the left trigger to zoom in.
When you zoom in on a target the projectile spread magically tightens up and you can hit the target with more bullets. Shooting without using the zoom, the bullets spread out so big that you don't hit the target with many bullets, this seems a bit odd to me!

Once I figured out that the zoom feature puts more bullets on a target, I started mopping up the enemies and it became very repetitive.

You don't have a targeting reticle unless you use the zoom. You can find yourself shooting to the right of a target or over the enemies head and you waste a lot of bullets. A simple dot on the screen would stop that. It gets a little annoying having to zoom in all the time to take an enemy down quickly.

If you can rent it first, I would do that. Or find someone that already has it and try it out.

For the most part I had fun playing the campaign, but I don't believe I'll be replaying the campaign very often. I played about 4 matches on Live. I'm holding off an opinion until I get more time on Live with the game.
