Gears of War Rage

Posted by LAR Games on Feb. 1, 2012, 6:45 p.m.

Well, a couple of weeks ago I acquired both Gears of War 1 and two on amazon because I thought it was time for me to finally beat 1 and start on two so I can eventually play 3.

Now I remember the Reason why I never beat the first one. The last boss is the hardest most frustrating thing I've ever had to encounter in a video game in my life.

I think I've died about 80 times at this point and am incredibly frustrated. That guy is an intolerable pain in the butt.

At this rate, I'm never going to play Gears of War 2.

I'm playing the game in Hardcore mode at the moment and it seems just impossible. Have any of you beat the game in hardcore mode? And if so, how? I just can't do it.

In terms of difficulty, the entire game would have been a 5/10 in hardcore mode, but when it gets to this point it inexplicably skyrockets into 10/10 for no reason and without warning.

I'm ready to pull my hair out, but the completionist in me doesn't let me let this go and move on already.

Sigh, I should have never borrowed this game in the first place.

Ah man wuuut. I keep catching epic deals on XBL for some reason. Last time I got 3 months for $10, and then when my Live ran out a few weeks ago, I used my GoW3 2day gold trial, and soon after that, found a deal offering 1-month for $1, lol.

I hate when people on my friends list change their names, then I don't know who the fuck they are anymore.

Anyway, have any tips on beating him? I have that burst rifle and a sniper rifle and I don't want to beat the whole level over again to get something else…

I remember beating him on hardcore(Or was it insane? I dunno) by myself :D co-op is much easier. That probably is the most challenging part of all the Gears campaign, though there were some annoying moments in the tank in Gears 2 and places where enemies keep mortaring you:(

Just do the Sniper + Torque Bow combination, or get on the turret that is sort of hidden behind RAAM when you first start the boss battle.
