Sooooooo, just picked up Gears 3 as I noticed it had broached that sub-£20 mark @ Simply Games.  Definiately up for trying out some Multiplayer.  I'll be a complete Noob though – last played on Gears 2 release for about 2 hours and then moved on as none of my mates were playing.

 

What's the established method of Newbies joining the session?  Not sure if the game will arrive tomorrow sadly – but I have just recieved the dispatch email so you never know.

Opps, forgot to mention…I won't have any of the DLC.  Is that a game breaker?  Or do you split into different sessions, those with and those without?

 

See, said I was  noob. wink

@Vimsey

The best way is to bounce a friend request to the gamertag "amidlifegamer".

It might sit pending for approval, but you'll be able to view its friends…look for anyone paying gears 3 MP on that list, send them a message requesting an invite and you should be golden.

Hope the postie delivers for you…but it happens EVERY Friday.

Well as promised I lugged my TV back from the other halves place this morning.

After a quick re-introduction to the Xbox, they are like old friends again.

The mentioned other half is away tonight in Swindon, leaving me in Cardiff, all to myself with all the beer and terrible food I will ever need.

Probably going to be on pretty early catching up on messages and checking any demo's I've missed.

I'll also have a good clear out of my friends list for those who want to add me.

I'm home alone tonight, with a gallon of cider and a biscuit barrel full of Jaffa Cakes. My amp gets a chance to be turned up to 11.

 

Remember to charge those controllers & headsets ladies and gents!

Nothing worse than the batteries running out in the heat of the moment…eh Baron? wink

Great evening of fun and entertainment once again. Thank you one and all for the laughs….although, things did get a little out of hand as some of us were suffering from lag…

 

Huntervp was the first casualty…desperate times….

 

 

 

Then it was my turn…jaffa rage…

 

 

 

 

 

Then it hit Baron Von Pleb…

 

 

Aside from that, it was a genuinely great evening, thanks again to everyone.

ok i am putting this up here as a debriefing why i destroyed gears of war 3  

 

it was many factors what lead to the destruction of this game the main one being whenever i play this game it makes me angry i swear off mic (thank god for the muted button) second  factor  i get aggressive with people who i am good friends with and the third factor i just don't enjoy the game any more  also i am taking the hot sauce in account as well 

 

i have worked in high stress situations and still do where people often break and go of like a bull to a red rag  i don't need a video game doing this in my life as well   luckily  this is the only game ever to do this 

 

also i apologise if i offended anyone last night or putted a downer on the night      

 

it is a shame this is really the only regular mlg community gamer night what sticks  cross fingers something else sticks soon 

 

p.s good jokes from baron and adamski

Pete u have summed up my feelings exactly. I love playing with the MLG community but Gears drives me up the wall. Maybe we should have another regular gaming night on a Saturday or Sunday? For BF3, poker, ME3 or whatever anyone wants to play?

Cheers for that Pete. I really don't think you offended anyone. I jumped on just after you went and it was apparent that everyone was concerned about you.

It's a shame when games can have a negative effect on us…I get terribly frustrated sometimes at being an inadequate player and its only the camaraderie that keeps my spirits up.

 

I’m sure there will always be a place for Gears And Beers on a Friday night…its been a staple for so long its good to know that if anyone finds themselves at a loose end for an hour or two on a Friday, they can jump in.

 

Great idea to get another regular gaming night going…even if its on a Friday too..people can jump back and forth….

 

….BeerField Friday?

So what would be an ideal alternative?

Poker is always great, but that seems to be more of an after-lounge tradition.

Or how about this? You could have two groups of people playing Gears 3.

Group A plays Deathmatch

Group B plays Hoard Mode

 

Then of course there is Halo. I may suck at that game as well, but it felt less frustrating to me because you could run and jump.

Forza I hear is big in the MLG community

Burnout: Paradise City could also be a great place for us to get together, hang out, chat, play some competitive games or just muck about.

All of the above sound great to me. Happy to play anything really. Just can't play versus mode on gears as I just don't have fun (which is the whole point after all)

I don't want to be seen as whinging tho as gears and beers is great fun for the banter etc But if there are a few of us who wanna play horde or some other games and then join up everyone to play poker or whatever after gears and beers has finished that would be cool.

Although I don't mind versus (also rubbish at it) I prefer co-op, so as GoddTodd said  have horde/beast matches going at the same time for those who prefer or can't get in the versus ( party full by the time I get online when I've looked frown) or some other good drop in/out game.

Ive played horde a fair bit, waves 1-50 four times.

Send me and inv anytime your up for it, i only have one request, the no regenerating ammo multiplier, makes things alot more fun, forces you to experiment with different weapons and brings out strategy a whole lot more.
