Gears 3 was a dissappointment. It was very front loaded because people quickly realized that it was actually pretty terrible. Gears 3 was the beginning of the franchise going downhill culminating in the atrocity that is gears judgement.


You mean, the best game in the trilogy is terrible? What?


Lol... "best game in the trilogy"? By what standard? Metacritic and sales both put it last. I think most people on here just like it because it was so similar to uncharted. It was the worst by far.


I'll tell you the same as I tell to everyone using "Metacritic" and "sales" as a standard. Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty is the best selling Metal Gear Solid game to date, and it has the best metacritic of all the Metal Gear Solid games; yet it's probably one of the most hated games of the saga by the fans.

Don't trust Metacritic and sales to measure how well a game is. In my opinion Gears of War 3 is the best game of the trilogy. I have my own standards and that's my opinion. If you can tell me what's so terrible about Gears of War 3 instead of just criticising it would be appreciated.

Good god, where do I start?

1. Changing the art style from the badassery of gears 1 and 2 to something cartoonish looking.

2. Overpowered rifles.

3. Single player story was the worst of the trilogy. Not saying the previous stories were great but gears 3 just took it to a new level of cheesy.

4. Adding microtransactions with rainbow colored rifle skins to even further kill the atmosphere of the series.

5. Maps were terrible. Not a single one that could hold a candle to some of the brilliant maps from the first two.

 

Overall the biggest issue with gears 3 is that it took the series in a much too arcadey direction. I always knew gears 3 was a harbinger for bad things to come and they really proved it with gears judgement. The first signs of trying to take it down a cod route first appeared in gears 3 and its just going to continue downhill.
