It's like you've never been on the internet before.
Here's some tips for your first day, if a topic being talked about is something you don't want ruined for you / might have spoilers, don't enter it then. Really just common sense.
Also most things are free to be talked about without using spoilers after a year or two, seeing as the last main game came out nearly four years ago, I'd say you're shit outta luck.
Now excuse me while I go whine about spoilers in a thread for a game I've not played / have no intention of playing.
Agreed I teared up so much watching it for the first time.watched the Maria scene again just now, almost teared up again.
Such a mediocre franchise.
I disagree, I always thought the series was overrated. The controls were clunky, I don't think the combat was all that great. It got old very fast for me.
Then again typical action third person shooters, typically don't do it for me anymore. I need something else in them. Either stealth, puzzle solving, etc.
Gears did a lot of things right that's for sure. I wouldn't complain if they announced they were working on Gears 4.

Spoilers is ok now?

Agreed. Their first party stuff was great.This was fantastic.
Microsoft just could not be beaten on marketing in the 360 era.
Such a mediocre franchise.
Games been out 4 years, its a thread about the series and how they missed them. It was obviously likely to contain possible spoiler content
Its also a perfect place for people who haven't played the games to know why people miss it in the first place. 4 years is not that far off. Do we have to spoil every game that is 4 or more years off now?
I never left

All this spoiler talk. People could assume there would be spoilers in this topic, but OP could just do the decent thing and tag the damn thing for those unsuspecting.

Yeh that is what I said, you're shit outta luck and should have thought about not coming into a thread for old games you haven't finished yet.I actually just got a 360 again and 3 is on my short list to play. I entered this thread because I'm excited to play gears 3 and I have fond memories of the first 2. Little did I know that there would be unmarked spoilers about it because usually gaf members are pretty good about marking them or announcing unmarked spoilers.
But I guess since I didn't have a 360 at the time of release I am shit out of luck, huh?
I really despise the fact that basically every tps has a cover system now seemingly thanks to this series. Just let me crouch dammit, it's such a silly restriction.
I really feel like the series would benefit from ditching regen health. Stuff like snipers and dudes with boomshots aren't really all that terrifying in single player when everything kills you in like half a second on the harder difficulties anyway because that's what regen health will do to your game.
Also ffs make the enemies a little more like they are in cutscenes, enemies who attack in massive numbers not a squad of bullet sponges who sometimes hide behind chest high cover.
Gears 3 is the best multiplayer game on 360. Its the only reason i still have gold on the console...
Probably depends on whether you care more about the campaign, or multiplayer. Gears threads tend to have everyone throwing around rankings of the games in the series, without specifying which of the two they're basing most of their judgement on. If you're multi-player focused, you'll tend to have different opinions of the games than someone that cares mostly about campaign/co-op.
A friend and I have played every other Gears together, so we're going to do the Judgment campaign too. (That the game is free with Gold right now makes that an easy choice.) I'm expecting the campaign to be little more than a basic sequence of Gears scenarios not up to the standard of the main games but that should be more than enough for some fun co-op.
The campaign is supposed to be great. The multiplayer is what most hardcore Gears fans hated. Seeing as how the multiplayer is typically more of an afterthought in reviews I'm not surprised the metacritic is that high.
Judgment wasn't that bad, no.
They made a lot of very minor tweaks, that by themselves weren't too big of a deal, but in aggregate turned off a lot of long time fans.
Changing the competitive modes to COG vs COG instead of keeping it COG vs Horde was a bad look in my book, but a lot of the other things they did were actually fun and refreshed the formula.
I really enjoyed the Overrun mode where you could play as different classes of Horde. The campaign was basically Arcade Mode from Gears 3 with optional modifiers to change things up each time you played if you wanted to. The other neat thing they did was make it more roguelike where every time you play a campaign level, the enemies were NOT scripted. So no two playthroughs are exactly alike.
For me, the campaign had lower highs but better lows, its very consistent and I did really enjoy it, I find it difficult to work out where I would place it in terms of which one I think is best, it has 4 player co-op, I didn't like the forced aspect of the campaign scoring/arcade stuff though, the Aftermath campaign is good too.
Overrun is legit great, 10000x better than Beast mode and I really hope they keep it for Gears 4. Survival wasn't great iirc and the main multiplayer component was not liked at all and I get why.
Its probably the worst of the 4 overall, 1 has the spectacle of being the first, the darker tone etc, 2 introduced Horde mode, it really was bigger better and more badass overall, but 3 was such an incredible refinement imo of the first two and added 4 player co-op, big Horde improvements/multiplayer improvements etc.
Its not terrible, its not the best Gears games at all but when you have a bar so high and make the mistakes they did, it will undoubtedly get called out for it and rightly so.
Maria RIP
;_;
that made my buddy legit cry.
