Hoorray?

I love Gears, but honestly, the series should end, now. There's no room for more games unless they feel like a forced cash-in. Judgment, for what it was, was good; but the human vs human online was awful.

 

No, this series should rest. Ignore a complete generation, just like Killer Instinct ignored the 360, and then come back onto their next console, if there's any after the X1.


Actually there is no reason any series should end as long as it has a developed Universe.  Instead, people who love a franchise should consider going in different direction or further developing the Universe.  I like how IPs are going to new studios to give them a fresh take on a series.  Even if it does not work out all the time, it does bring something different and fresh to the series.

It should be interesting how the games will develop under a new company.  I hope they have something to show this year but I doubt it.


Then don't make the dumb move of "ending" the "trilogy". Same shit happened with Halo. Now we're at Halo 4, with Halo 5 on development, after Halo: Reach and ODST. I mean what the fuck.

I do not know about you but ending the Gears arch for that series was smart.  People like conclusions to a story.  That does not mean there are not other stories that can be made within the universe.  TV, Movies and Books etc do this all the time.  Hell, Final Fantasy made a living doing this and you can put Bioshock there as well.  A story arch should have a conclusion but the Universe can continue.
