Can't believe you are all ignorant to how emotional Gears of War actually is:

That was not emotionally effecting. When we mean emotionally effecting, we mean that we are able to sympathize with the characters

Surely you need empathy rather than sympathy for true emotional involvement. Anyone that empathises with a game has issues in my book.

Empathises with a game's characters is nothing to be ashamed of. You're just one of those people that think that emotional involvement is a waste of time. I am not trying to flame anyone, I am just saying

Edit:I am not trying to offend you in anyway

lol, we are talking about Gears the game where all characters are "space" marines in huge army suits and have as much personality as a doorknob. Sorry.

Oh and by your logic, lol, we're also talking about Bioshock, the game where the characters are crazy genetic mutants from the 1950's! Surely that means the game is retarded!

Way to troll. If you're going to accuse a game's characters of being two dimensional cardboard standouts, at least back it up with examples. I've ripped apart FFX on these forums a number of times, but at least when I did it, I provided a concrete list of why the game sucked.

I'm not a big GeoW fan, but I get sick of this constant stream of crap from people with nothing to back up their comments at all.
