My brother just finished the whole game, and to be honest, the story was very average at best. The end could have been so much better. And as for the end of Act 3, it should of happened sooner.

You rated the game before doing the campaign, you sir have commited an abomination against rating ethics.

Eh? I always rate the game based on how much fun I had and by the end of the game the score will usually go up or down slightly.

 

But I have gotten past the ship level in Gears 3. So I have played the campaign some.

Yeah I kind of figured. But you never can be too sure so it's better to be safe than sorry.

 

Do you plan on picking it up sometime in the future?

Wouldn't dream of missing it. If I can find a way I will be getting it soon. Is it your game of the year?

So far yes. But I know it won't be by the end of the year!

When you get it hit me up for some Horde or Beast mode if you want.

Finished the campaign yesterday; played it on "normal" solo, to unlock Insane, which I will play co-op with friends.

Campaign wise (spoiler free): the story is cohesive and draws the Delta storyline to a conclusion that answers almost all of the questions 1 & 2 raised. I think having read the books (I haven't) will probably provide a richer appreciation of some parts of the story as the newer characters (Sam and Jace) seemed to have established relationships that are not explained in the campaign. Minor quibble though as having a satisfying conclusion is most important.

Game play wise I think the controls have been refined to a point of perfection, and you'll need it as the set battles are frenetic. Acts 1-2 are good, introductions, Acts 3-5 are incredible. NPC AI is pretty good, as they will lay down cover fire and pick you up when you are down (even if you get stuck away from them). Enemy AI is decent too, though they can be easily distracted by your teammates.

I also played Horde 2.0, which much like the campaign, is a refined version of the Gears 2 version. Building your stats in horde opens up new upgrades which makes the experience a little more addicting.

I haven't played beast yet (will tonight); as for MP, I played the beta and loved it, so I can't imagine it's gotten worse. Looking forward to my first foray into MP tonight.

As an unrepentant Gears lover I can tell you that I am only disappointed by one thing, in the story, which I won't spoil. Otherwise, the game is everything I have hoped it would be. Hell yeah.

If your disappointed happened to be the thing at Act 3 end, then I feel your pain. I screamed at my TV. Unexpected though and brilliant.

Disappointed was probably the wrong word, but yes, we are talking about the same thing - honestly kind of saw it coming, I think i even mentioned it in a thread long time ago, but I don't want to spoil it for anyone.

Dedicated servers must be rolling as the two quick games I just played felt smooth, like butter, and not a single "BULLSHIT!!" moment.  

IF this game was woman, I might leave my wife for her... (HAHA).

Dom From Gears of War Makes a Dying Kid’s Wish Come True

If you were dying of cancer and the Make a Wish foundation could grant you one wish, what would it be?

Well, if you were a huge Gears of War fan obviously it would be to meet Dominic Santiago in real life! Ain’t that right, bitches?!

Luckily, Carlos Ferro, the voice of Dom was kind enough to get suited up and equip a lancer to make this kid’s wish come true!
