I am playing the Gears of War series for the first time. I just finished 1 and a few missions into GoW2. Playing on Xbox 360. Gears of War 1. It's old. A little clunky. A little frustrating in 2023 that might not have been in 2006. Still. Not bad. Kinda liked it. Shame I didn't experience it then if my then-limited tastes and funds allowed it. But I'm in the Gears series now. I still think VanQuish is better because the shooting and movement are so much better. Also 4 years newer so there is that. I still think VanQuish is the best-playing SP TPS ever so far. Tho that generation had some great ones. Transformers Fall of series. EX Troopers and Lost Planet 1-2. All great TPS games. I prefer sci-fi so you won't see me dive into non-sci-fi ones. (I hated Uncharted 3 and hated TLOU). If Gears 4 finally works on PC and Gears 5 is on PC GP I may give them a go. I have a free month trial collecting dust over here.
