I agree with him about Judgment. Very "Bulletstorm-ish". Gears 2, won't say much, except that it was, beyond a shadow of a doubt, the worst in the series for me, both multiplayer and the campaign. Awful.

While, Gears 3 is complementary to Gears 1, Epic may never again capture the meaty, competitive feel of the original. My favorite shooter, by far. Both the 360 & PC versions!


I thought of you today, actually. I've achieved "Don't hate the player" (Being 1st in a ranked match) in my second attempt playing online with the first Gears. I found it kind of impressive that a game made in 2006 has still a solid community playing it.

 

And yes, Gears of war 2 was undoubtely a good game, but it is the black sheep of the trilogy.


Gears 2 is the black sheep? Check Vgchartz, its the best selling. Only bandwagon hoppers on the internet speak that nonsense. The only problem was the multiplayer was broken for quite sometime. Other than that it was by far the most solid entry in the series.


It was still a great game no doubt.  The only problem was the multiplayer and it is a pretty universal complaint.  The sales are better but it was running from the hype of Gears of War 1 plus it had many new adopters to the series.  Gears 3 wasn't running off of the massive hype that Gears 1 gave gears 2.  Also Gears 3 was battleing games like Call of Duty by this time which has been stronger than ever.

If your logic were correct then gears 3 would have had a weaker first week than gears 2. Check vgchartz again. It had a much bigger first week than gears 3, it then proceeded to fall off when people realized it was crap.

Gears 2 also came out in one of the biggest years for gaming so don't try to play the too much competition card. Modern Warfare, Halo 3 and GTA IV were all out in 2008.
