12.29.14 | Played a fuckton of Gears 2 horde mode with buddies back in the day, in Gears 3 we mostly did King of the Hill (my fav mode). Those were the days indeed. |

12.29.14 | The GoW series is really the only reason why I would ever think about getting an xbox, beyond the console's obvious intended use as a doorstop of course |
Pajolero
12.29.14 | I agree, at least in terms of controls/character movement the third one was the most smooth and fluid, simply a joy to play. Once I tried the beta of 3, playing 2 felt stiff and clunky, I just couldn't go back to it. The maps were superior in 1/2, no argument. |
CalculatingInfinity
12.29.14 | Don't forget the story of Gears 3 as well, especally if you read Aspho Fields. |

12.29.14 | The main reason I loved one was how gritty and visceral it was. I've beaten the story ten times or more and I've probably sunk over two full weeks of gameplay into versus, primarily ranked. |
TheSpaceMan
12.29.14 | shot gun batttles we so fucking amazing, when it got down to 1v1 and you're fucking gladiator battling the last guy for your entire team... rolling around and hitting active reloads praying you get the kill shot before he did
later games in the series focused on more respawning and balanced guns as opposed to making it a rush to get the power weapons... only thing that did right was getting rid of the OP active reload for the longshot |

Just another run of the mill day if you're a yank on their way to school.

12.29.14 | @zakalwe Your ignorance is hilarious |
InfernalOarsman
12.29.14 | @TheSpaceMan I totally agree. I could never get into the polished feel of the later games. The campaigns were all pretty consistent, but the first game really sticks out. There's so much style and I still love playing it. |

01.12.15 | man i always thought gears was underrated in terms of online play. horde is sickeningly fun. |
Pajolero
01.13.15 | Last time I checked there were still plenty of people online in all three games (we don't speak of that fourth one). It's nowhere near COD numbers obviously, but still pretty decent. |
thacoconut94
01.13.15 | InfernalOarsman - sorry dude please explain to me why you dont like 2, because imho that game was maybe the best thing (behind the halo series) to ever have happened to the 360 |
demigod!
01.13.15 | all the games are good in terms of gameplay but my god did the story go down the toilet come gears 2.
Multiplayer's where it's at, though. |
thacoconut94
01.13.15 | you didnt like the story? going to the hollow and fucking shit up down there? tbh i did think have to sink a city was a bit naff |
InfernalOarsman
01.15.15 | I mainly hated Gears 2 because of my online experience. The smoke grenades that knocked you down (before the update), the nerf'd gnasher, the 2-piece whores, the maps, and it just let me down all across the board. Perhaps my expectations were too high, because I fell in love with Gears 1. |

01.15.15 | Remember beating all 50 waves of horde on the hardest difficulty with my friend |

01.15.15 | played gears since 06
gears 2 was complete dogshit multiplayer wise
i still play gears 3 occasionally though. |

@Game 2 over 1 is fucking blasphemy. But yeah I don't mind Judgment post-update. |
thacoconut94
01.15.15 | WHAT |
Gameofmetal
01.15.15 | well story wise, 1 is the weakest. gears 2 and 3 actually have really solid plot lines
multiplayer is another story because I've only played a little 2 and a good bit of 3 online |

@Game you missed the shitshow known as "gears 2 multiplayer" thankfully. |

01.15.15 | i really liked the river map for gears 2. most of my experience with gears multiplayer was playing with a friend on bots |

01.15.15 | what would they even do in a sequel tho? the story was pretty well wrapped up before |

01.15.15 | Gears 1 rules. The other two are meh. |
betray
01.15.15 | "what would they even do in a sequel tho? the story was pretty well wrapped up before"
idk. but they said it won't be a reboot of the series so i'm excited to see what they have in mind
@Gonzo
eh disagreed hard. Gears 1 was good, Gears 2 sucked, Gears 3 was the best of them all, and Judgment was only okay. |
DrGonzo1937
01.15.15 | ha dude, the story to Gears 3 was laughable at best.
Gears 1 didn't play as well, but the story was dead on the money. Vague back stories to what felt like a deep well thoughout world. Gears 2 and 3 proved I was wrong. Don't get me wrong, Gameplay on 2 and 3 slayed, but isn't that a given on a AAA title like this? |
betray
01.15.15 | nah playing Gears of War for the story is laughable at best lmao |
betray
01.15.15 | that competitive MULTIPLAYER doe |
Gameofmetal
01.15.15 | u crazy, gears 1 story was almost nonexistent
i also don't get how people can hate 1 and dislike the others because there haven't been tremendous changes. seems to me that if you like one you kinda have to like the others |
Gameofmetal
01.15.15 | and i think the gears story is great by shooter standards, dom's plot especially was very tragic |

01.15.15 | gears story is thin as vapor
doms plot was fucking retarded he could have easily survived that attack without killing himself |

JWT155
01.15.15 | Gears 1's campaign was the best by a long shot. It had the most memorable moments. |
Gameofmetal
01.15.15 | I don't remember it going down like that, the part where he kills his wife in gears 2 was fucking sad as shit and his depression leading to the sorta suicide/sacrifice thing worked really well imo |
DrGonzo1937
01.15.15 | 2 and 3 storylines went too TV drama, awful. And Dom's death was terrible yeah.
The first Gears storyline is very vague which felt more realistic. It gives you segments of stuff that has happened in the past without going into detail on it, I like storylines like that. Less is more imo. And it lined the characters up beautifully. A shame the writing went to shit after the first one. |
Gameofmetal
01.15.15 | idk I just wasn't feeling it, gears 2 is the game that really got me hooked on the series |
Lethean
01.15.15 | i've defected to sony so i'll never be able to experience the next gears that i'm sure they'll fuck up somehow
@betray omfg no |
DrGonzo1937
01.15.15 | Agreed on Dom killing his wife though, that was good.
I found the ending to 3 such a cop out. I haven't even played the one after that. |

01.15.15 | gears campaign plot is pretty standard

JWT155
01.15.15 | I haven't played any of the Gears in years but 1's story just had many more "better" moments. Breaking out of prison, having to cross the town at night, the vehicle mission at night, the mansion level, killing General Raam on the train at the end. The later Gears had more "over the top" moments but Gears 1 was tense, was atmospheric and had the right amount realism to make you tense up. |

01.15.15 | I'm prob older then most users here too in that my prime in gaming as a teen was between 2004-2008 and nostalgia for the first Gears may outweigh my thoughts on the last 2. |

01.15.15 | i'll take your virginity in gears 1 too tbh |

01.15.15 | Well 2 had the giant ass convoy/cavalry attack thing at the beginning, the worm, and the brumak riding |
DrGonzo1937
01.15.15 | Depends what you go for I guess. I thought there were a lot of horror type elements to the first one, which was completely gone in 2 and 3. |

01.15.15 | i'll be jamming brand new while i embarrass u tbh |

01.15.15 | ill agree to that gonzo, the wretches scared the shit out of me in gears 1 |
JWT155
01.15.15 | "Well 2 had the giant ass convoy/cavalry attack thing at the beginning, the worm, and the brumak riding"
True, but these moments were really over the top, and while fun didn't have the tension of the 1st. In the 1st Gears, the mood was perfect, it was creepy and you got tense at certain moments. The 2nd 2 Gears were more over the top, lacked any tension and were more about creating over the top moments to throw your controller at the tv when you messed up than building a connection with the story.
I also forgot the fucking epic mine sequence in 1 where you ride the mine cars. God I miss that game. i know what I'm doing tonight... |

InfernalOarsman
01.15.15 | @JWT155 I think you summed up my thoughts really well. Gears 1 felt very gritty and dark, almost like a horror game. I also thought there were MANY memorable moments. The corpser fight, the lambent wretches, the first bezerker encounter, and of course the train finale! |
DrGonzo1937
01.16.15 | Halo 3 is close to my heart. |

Vakarian12
01.16.15 | characters were all kinda lame but i enjoyed the story for what it was
favorite was Gears 2. liked how it was bigger and felt more like a full scale war, as opposed to the first games "4 dudes running through corridors shooting monsters"
finally got round to playing judgement and loving it so far, campaign was actually really fun |

01.16.15 | More of a Destiny guy myself. |
