Which of the 4 Gears games released to date is the best in your opinion, and why?

Gears 2, I mainly play them for the story and 2 is the best to me personally.



Gears of War 3. It had the most emotional story (even if I could understand why that's a turn off for veteran Gears players), the best set-pieces (aside from Jacinto in Geow2), a nice score and the most refined gameplay. I also poured around 200 hours in the multiplayer, which is extremely rare considering how disenchanted I am with the MP aspect of videogames in general.

It definitively had its flaws, but the overall package was amazing in Gears of War 3. Kind of wished it had some old-school Horde mode like in Geow2, though. I mean, the new one is nice and invites both replayability and strategical placing of defenses, but there was something charming about you alone against an horde, like 2 did.

This guy gets it! For a series with a weak story, I think the story is fantastic! Gears 2 is the most cinematic and diverse. I love it!



Gears of War 1 was the best game by far in my opinion. I miss the shotgun battles that used to be the staple of multiplayer.



I mostly play RTS and Moba style games now adays as well as ALOT of benchmarking. I do play other games however such as the witcher 3 and Crysis 3, and recently Ashes of the Singularity. I love gaming on the cutting edge and refuse to accept any compromises. Proud member of the Glorious PC Gaming Master Race. Long Live SHIO!!!!

Gears of War 2 EASILY!!! The OST's, escaping out of the Riftworm, Avalanche multiplayer map which is my favorite map of all the Gears games, plenty of boss battles(the last boss battle was a disappointment from what I heard but that didn't bother me), and of course the first 3 Gathering Storm walkthroughs for some reason I LOVE!!! replaying those levels.

Oh by the way I really hope the Swarm's existence have something to do with the New Hope Research Facilities experiments and Dr. Niles Samsons research which JD and Del stumbled upon which cause them to go AWOL.

Only played Gears of War 1 and 2, part 2 was the most fun I've had with my friends, 4-player Horde mode was the best.

Gears of War 2 for the campaign and story, Gears of War 3 for multiplayer even though 1-2 had better maps.

If they'd make a remaster of all of 'em I'd say Gears 2 would be the best overall.

Have you played Ultimate Edition? Classic, brutal gnasherfest Gears at its finest, I love it.



Only completed Gears of War 2 despite owning the entire franchise, so that's my pick.
