Yes... because whiny, over emotional female characters are what we were all clamoring for over the last decade. Good lord man... this thing is going to end up the worst selling Gears of War ever. 

Sorry you feel that way.

My view, is that during Gears 4, all the characters were pretty much indistinguishable from each other, and the game suffered for it. Here it looks like they're really trying to take them in different directions, flesh them out, and actually utilize them to tell an interesting story. Rather than just having them be a bunch of people along for a standard Gears ride. I'm into it.

I’m in half agreement there  

While I think the characters in 4 were too similar and too jokey (basically a platoon of four Bairds, which can get grating), I don’t want to see TOO much storytelling. The weakest parts of 4 occurred at the beginning, with all the world-building and scene-setting. I’m not saying I want the new installment to be story-less, but I don’t want the story to distract from actual hands-on gameplay, as it does so often in Uncharted.

Oh and @AlfredoTurkey, I’m sorry a woman with agency kills your boner.
