It'll be nice to have the back story a bit more fleshed out finally. Last edited by Nozdeuce : 01-02-2008 at 12:14 PM. |

I don't think Gears fans are big readers. But more than that, I don't think Gears fans like it because of its story, probably like it in spite of it.

I liked Gears as much as the next guy, but the narrative made absolutely no sense. And I'm just not that excited for a novelization of a story ripped from the beautiful mind of Clifford Bleszinski.
I can't believe Steven Kent is forced to do this kind of work. Poor guy. |

Come on guys - I understand New Years was just yesterday and all, but try harder with the reading jokes - you can do better!
But really, the universe is interesting, as well as the way you learned about what was going on in Sera just like Marcus did after being shut out from it from so long... |

He could almost feel the digging under his feet. Decades of toil making the final push toward the surface. But it didn't matter now. When it would it would be too late. The bartender pushed up to the counter, swirling a damp towel over the polished wood.
"Get you something to drink?" A drink was exactly what Fenix needed. Something strong to warm his stomach and get his blood pumping. Yes, a drink. The bartender stopped circling his rag. "You drinking or not, buddy?" Marcus shifted on the stool. "Oh, yeah." |

I'd be interested in reading it. From what I understand and know, Gears actually does have a pretty rich backstory, it's just not always conveyed in the game. If you look around at the posters, and listen to what the characters say you'll find that there does seem to be a lot behind it all. The perfect ramp up to Gears 2!
