Yes, you heard me.  Gears of War is overrated.

  • The voice acting is laughable
  • The controls are awful
  • The weapon selection is weak
  • The single player campaign is about as fun as watching an inchworm move a mile
  • The AI fluctuates from Geniuses to Retards in the same difficulty
  • Cole Train is too much of a stereotype

With this said, anyone who thinks Gears of War is AAA needs to be beaten with a wooden bat til they can't feel any part of their body.

Let the flaming begin.

 

If thats all overrated, then i'd hate to speak on resistances "creative" innovation.

i like its graphics though that about it.

the only reason to play its multiplayer if any.

I could not get into it. They're wasn't really any reason why I should play the game and want to complete it. The controls/graphics and everything were great, but their wasn't anything to grab my attention.

/boring-no fun

I think somebody should become a mod after that post, best advice I've seen in these forums for some time.

 

Hey man, thanks for that flattery. I'd have a tough time accepting the mod decision, because:

A. It's a lot of pressure and responsibility.

B. You have to put up with a lot of crap, and I'd never put up with currently(flames from users).

C. When I owned someone it would be attributed to my mod status and not my posting ability.

I really do appreciate that. I've been catching a lot of flack lately and was starting to feel like my posts were just cynical and pointless. I really try to only say things that I believe, here, and I know that's not a common attribute.

Like everyone(but ioi and TheSource), I'm a little biased, lol, but I think that people know I will own up to my flaws when the they present themselves, and if we all did that, this forum would be even better.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

I just stared Gears a short while ago on PC (bit late to the party, I know), but I must say that I am absolutely loving it. I can't comment on the controls for the 360 version, nor could I argue you on the voice acting but I think the game is pretty damn good. To each their own.

Fail, Gears of War fucking rules. It has its share of issues, but what game doesn't. I don't agree with the parts that i bolded.
