Oh I totally forgot! Cliffy B and Epic invented muscles, they didn't exist before then.

Definitely visual appeal for the crowd who plays only war shooters. Gives them some familiar ground for the big scary world of games that have RPG elements.

I was apprehensive of him at first, but liking him more and more after seeing the interview with Jnr and more of his dialogue.

Hmm I'd have thought in 5 pages someone would have posted some comparison pics for those of us who have never played a Gears of War game.

Oh well, I will go look some up and return with my opinion lol.

Another one of those rare topics we actually agree on. I like having another Shep Jr. joining the squad, and hey, he was Jack Bauer's sidekick.

I wonder if some of you people act like this in real life too. "Wow, that guy has got some huge arms. What an ****! I hate him!!"

I'd hazard a yes to that, saying "looks like he's on roids"... no, a proper diet while having the determination to "find my limit" yes, roids no.  just because we are nerds doesn't mean we have to be fat or skinny, start low and stay focused BSN mates 

Or you can hit the ground running and never stop. That's what works for me. In this day and age, there's no excuse that anyone who doesn't have a genetic disorder should be over/under weight or in horrible physical condition. People live decades longer than previous generations, why spend that time getting old when you feel like s**t in your twenties?

Does anyone have any evidence proving the "shooter crowd" is even drawn to games because of big muscular men? No, seriously I just jumped into this topic and i have no Idea if anyone actually does.

But I'll move foreward assuming that nobody does have this statistic because I doubt there has ever been such a survey. Have you ever heard of someone getting GoW because they thought it had exquisite character design?

I certainly haven't and I also have no reason to believe that the "shooter crowd" will flock to any game because just one character looks similar to one a character in another game they play (does anyone?). If anything, the "shooter crowd" is drawn to good looking gameplay. And improved gameplay is better for not only shooter fans but also "the rest of us".

Was it confirmed that he is gay or bisexual? People seem to be throwing that out there pretty regularly but I don't know where that started.

No - but it hasn't been confirmed either way.

They said new characters for same sex relationships - so far Vega is the only new character we've seen.

Odds are good. Not to mention it would totally fly in the face of 'stereotypical GoW / COD soldier' 

Unless I missed something form COD and GOW. In which case, ignore that that last line.

Noooooo!   *Pulls hair out*

I'm actually pretty sure that they gave Dom a wife in GoW 2 so people would stop accusing him of being homosexual.

[Aaleel]

Meh, I guess I could see it. Just a buffed soldier to me. But since you can't control the character I really wouldn't see why it would appeal to shooter players. If they came up with some reason to rebuild Shepard again and he was built like that, then maybe.

I was pretty optimistic from the leak that I'd like him, after seeing that scene I know he'll be a new favorite.

[someguy1231]

This whole discussion is absurd. GoW fans don't buy the games for the character design. They buy them for the fun shooter gameplay and excellent multiplayer. If any of them had any chance of being drawn to the ME games, they would have already done so in the first or second game due to the similar sci-fi theme and improvements to shooter gameplay in the second game. In fact, Vega may be counter-productive in that regard because GoW fans may write him off as a Marcus Fenix rip-off (and even many non-fans here have done just that).

Of course, looking at BSN's romance section, you might think Vega was actually aimed at romance-obsessed fangirls. Shows how out-of-step BSN tends to be with the rest of the gaming world.

Arrives.
Sees a loaded question.
Leaves.

[Gabey5]

no he is a marine. ground forces.

[mybudgee]

I think he is more of a practicality character than anything. Fitness would have to be pretty easy in the 22nd century. Plus, there were at least two scenes, both in ME2 that I recall, where Shep lifted a super heavy I-beam off of Zaeed. Also in the SM, I think. Redic..
This way, as long as Jimmy is in your squad, and some heavy blunt thing falls on someone, problem solved!

I like both games. played ME before Gears though. So...>_>

[CannonO]

I just think he is a cliche tank.

Despite everyone's hatred towards GoW without even playing it, all of them might "look" tough but they all have so very unique characters...and we love or dislike them based on the way they act and their personalities. (I personally love Cole because he's so cheery all the time even in dark times but he can act very serious when things are tough.) Vega's appearance doesn't mean anything to me. If he's a boring soldier man like Jacob and Kaidan were to me, then I'll probably dislike him. If not, then I'll probably like him.

I love Gears of War. It is perhaps the least sophistocated game series in terms of writing substance in my list of loved game series, but it is very polished and really sets the bar for TPS games.

Gears of War 3 was the deepest, but that doesn't mean much if you weren't already invested in the two before.
