| wilco said: 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. |
1.- The style is great. Except for the atmosphere, I don't see how you complain about this. Graphics looks cool, not cartoonish.
Except for Anya's hair which looks lazy as hell, I don't see the cartoonish thing.
2.- The only overpowered rifle was the Retro lancer. The Lancer is a solid weapon, and the Hammerbust has been nerfed as hell.
3.- Single player story is possibly one of the BEST aspects of Gears of War 3. What are you calling cheesy? Except for the ending, I don't see how you can claim Gears of War 3's story is bad in comparison to one, for example, whereas everything was like "Yo' Marcus Fenix? Yea gotta use the Locator thing to destroy 'em. Yo' it didn't work? Well get on board dat' train and use explosives to finish this!". Now that was cheesy as hell.
4.- Oh, man, this is just plain nothing. I could understand if you complain about having microtransactions, but the microtransactions itself? So by that logic, putting a younger version of Carmine as a sking you could buy kills the atmosphere too?
5.- Agree on this one except for Checkout.
Gears of War 3 had indeed an arcade mode. But that was entirely up to you to play it. It has the story mode, the horde mode and the multiplayer people love. I don't know. I respect your opinion but frankly I don't agree.
