Short and simple: I, no, we are enjoying the holy hell out of Gears of War 3! Well, for the most part we are anyway. Horde 2.0 is pretty damn fun and the boss battles are pretty bad when trying to get through them with only two people. But we've gotten up to round 17, which is absolutely higher then we've ever achieved in Gears 2 as a duo. The rounds get real chaotic, real quick and even with the addition of cash and the ability to buy defenses, it only helps so much before you get overwhelmed. Even the A.I. seems a bit better and seeing some of the bigger monsters on the Locust side hopping walls is a sight we both are still getting used to.
Fun times.
The other mode we gave a try was Beast mode, which we actually didn't quite like as much. Sure it is a little fun to play as the Locust, but man... the A.I. on the Gears/human side is pretty damn crafty and we've ended up dead and failed quickly. It feels like this mode would be much better off playing with a full group, rather then a small one.
As far as the campaign is concerned, we've actually not tried it out just yet. As mentioned, I think we've been a little more focused on putting the updated Horde mode through some paces beforehand. But then I think the idea was that we give the campaign itself a go probably tonight. Can't wait to see how that has changed and if it does a better job of story telling...
