Jeff made it pretty clear he wasn't a Gears fan going in. If it had Horde mode he would have atleast gave it a 3/5. |
Why would they get someone who isn't a Gears fan to review a Gears remaster that tried its best to stay true to the orignal? On top of that why does he completely discredit the multiplayer portion of the game.
"I have made my peace with Gears of War multiplayer. It's fun when played with some like-minded and like-skilled individuals, but after all this time the only people who are likely to stick with it are insanely good at it. So unless you're one of those people, expect to have people rolling up behind you and shotgunning you to death over and over again."
Not only does he make a massive assumption regarding the multiplayer community in gears to spin it as a negative but this quote as a whole represents the problem with the gaming community today. He can't appreciate the skill gap or the depth of knowledge and strategy around gears multi and instead sees it as a negative and moves on.
He has some fair points regarding the framerate if it truly isn't a stable 30fps and fair points regarding how the campaign has aged poorly although that is subjective but his arguments or lack of around multiplayer and horde mode which wasn't even part of the original are awful.
