| exdeath said: Oh it's been ages, but I seem to remember foreshadowing at the end of Gears 1 or 2 that humans were the invaders on Sera and the Locusts were the ones actually defending THEIR home from invasion of space aliens (eg: you) and excessive exploitation once humans started hoarding imulsion or something? Been ages though and I never played past 2. Maybe I was just reading into it too much because it's the kind of twist I would enjoy. The fact that I don't quite remember but I can recite almost every line of dialog from Xenogears and Final Fantasy IV only illustrates my stating that these AAA shooter games have weak stories that aren't memorable . :D |
Want me to spoil Gears 3 for you?
Turns out the Locusts were being attacked by their own. The oil (aka immulsion) was actually a micro organism making them crazy like zombies. It eventually spreads into humans. Co character Dom sacrifices himself to help the others escape a dire situation. Eventually, to stop the spread of the parasite, the decision is made to commit genocide on the Locusts. Marcus mourns his fallen brother. I left out a lot but that's the gist.
Weak story, I know. But I loved it. There's only three main Gears games and a prequel, btw.
Mod edit (Leadified) - added some spoiler tags
