I'm having trouble deciding between choosing Resistance 2 or GeoW2 for online. I'm buying both without a doubt, but I don't have time to get decent at both at the same time. I've played both the 1st Gears and R:FoM but I spent way more time on resistance. The main thing that turned me off from the first Gears, was the whole shotty rushing bs that made the game so repetitive/lame.

Vote for which game you'll spend the most time on, and list the pros and cons of each if you wish to do so. I'll get it started first.

Gears of War 2 Pros/Cons:

Pros: Horde mode + other remade modes

Meatshields

Stopping power on weapons to eliminate the lame shotgun rushing

Overall balance fixes, which should make the game more enjoyable

Cons: Still the possibility for cheapness with one shot kill weps.

Smoke grenades can stun you (might add more tactical play or just be downright annoying)

Resistance 2 Pros/Cons:

Pros: Game modes seem improved and better

Online co-op looks super fun to play

Berserk gauge seems like a cool feature

Seems like an overall improvement on an already pretty decent game

Cons: And this is a personal preference... 60 player online (far too chaotic for me and makes maps extremely huge)

I think that's all I can think of on cons. R:FoM was overall a pretty enjoyable game.

You really can't judge which one you'll get into more until you play them both. One's online might suit your style better than the other.

Resistance 2 will be more fun online. Insomniac always has great weapons in their games and I have no doubt that R2 will have more variety in gameplay online than Gears.

Probably Gear of War 2 judging by how much time I spent on the first.

I dont know too much about GeOW2 online, but I know R2 will have 60 mp which you say is too chaotic, but keep in mind that you can always set the limit of players to something you think is reasonable, plus you have online co-op.

I'll play Gears of War 2 first on single player and play Resistance 2 online since I don't have gold membership for Live.

Resistance 2 definately. Not just the regular MP, but the co-op as well. And you aren't forced to play 60 player games, TC, you can choose smaller games.

Resistance2 but i'll surely spend lots of time online playing Geow2....

also there are games such as LBP, SOCOM, L4D & Motorstorm2 which will take most of my gaming time...

its good to have both consoles :)

Then get R2. The game seems a lot more ambitious than Gears this time around.

Gears 2 obviously, the first one was awesome while resistance 1's multiplayer was mediocre at best, gears 2 is gonna be even better then gears 1 while R2 will probably improve R1's mediocre MP and make it good but not even close Gears 2
