I think the Gears story did a decent enough job of fitting the gameplay. It doesn't have to be War and Peace. All it needed to do was supplement the action.
I have no hopes for CoD3.5 to be anything other than a disappointment. I'll wait around for CoD6 when Infinity Ward is back at the helm. I give that post a 9.1. |
Strip away the gameplay and the story of Gears 1 is incredibly shallow, incapable of standing on it's own. It doesn't have to be War and Peace but the characters should be original, well developed with an established plot that is more than just an excuse for shooting. You could tear apart the plot for all it's holes, lack of logical developments and explanation for events if you wanted to. That is simply sloppy writing at best.
