Fair enough... I found both games had terrible story and worse dialoge than most Porn movies. But Gears 1 had funner more challenging gamplay. Everything in Gears 2 was for presentation sake. Like riding that flying creature in Gears 2...dude, not fun!


I see where your coming from. However, remember each to their own. ;)

I found the flying part a welcome break in Gears 2 for example. And enjoyed being able to take in the visuals more in that part.

Also loved the part in the underground river. Also the defense of the landing platforms just after the flying bit. 

But also I loved the first time you fought the big guy in Gears 1 ( forgotten what they are called ) where he takes out the pillars. That was great design. Little room, yet you have to run. ArGGGGHHHH.

The story is of course generic. But Gears was always about the set pieces. Of which it does a great job. Gears doesnt really do boss fights. What it has is pretty easy. But it does battles exceedingly well. #

I'm less picky with games than most here. If I'm really enjoying it I couldnt care for any issues. As long as they dont hinder my enjoyment. Glitches smitches for example. I enjoyed ME1 to much to notice any faults.

I am honestly at a point where I am kinda bitter towards the franchise cause of Gears 2. When Gears 1 came out, I thought it was a pretty fun cover shooter with really generic story and characters from WWE.

I figured the sequel will take the strengths of the first(shooting/cover gameplay) game and add better boss battles and more clever set pieces.

Instead they made all that stuff worse and boosted the presentation, story and characters. Like the parts on the tank on the beginning...I have no clue wtf is going on half the time. Its just on rails and I have control 20% of the time...

In any case, I understand that a lot of people enjoyed that whole cinematic aspect of the game so epic did something right.Im finc if CliffyB wan'ts to make it all cinematic... however with Gears 3 I really hope they bring the shooting set pieces up to par with games like Halo ODSt and Half Life 2. Like the very last part of HL2 Episode 2, where you are defending the base from those Tripods...that alone is better and more gameplay engaging than anything Gears 1 or 2 have attempted.

Agree. Epic need to combine Gears 1 and 2  for 3. Do that and it will be the best Gears yet.

I liked HL2, but enjoyed the extra episodes much much more. But yes, there is no dev out there that does set pieces like Valve and Bungie. Agree totally.

Cant wait to see Reach set pieces with 40 individual AI. That will be something epicly new. See what I did there. ;)
