I've never seen so much absolute bull trying to discredit gears of war you all deserve to be curb stomped in the face :D. It is and was a revolutionary TPS with its mechanics and gameplay, an absolute blast to play. The weapons are the most satisfying to use in a game ever, chainsawing, shotgunning, torque bowing, boom shotting, grenade tagging and sniping all flawless.
In no way shape or form was Gears revolutionary. Thats laughable.
Gears of War was a blatant coptly cat of Killswitch! Killswitch is the game that inspired most third person shooters from this gen.
Gears of War was NOT the first cover shooter! It was simply the first to copy cover shooting and get famous for it (Despicable how Microsoft marketed Gears as being the first cover shooter out there, when in reality it was a copy cat of Killswitch)
Also, gun play is the SOLE focus of Gears of War(very repetitive game) and the gunplay itself is garbage.
The game that revolutionzed this gen was Uncharted 2.
Naughty Dog took presentation to new heights with Uncharted, while still giving the player as much control as possible. In a Gears of War game you WATCH a cut scene. In an Uncharted game you PLAY the cut scene!
In Uncharted you also traversed big, beautiful, luscious,and often times atmospheric environments. Engaged in hand to hand combat, had fun shoot outs. At times were doing a mixture of it all etc. Even solving puzzles along the way!
At the time, NOTHING else played like Uncharted. Nothing. As a pure TPS game Uncharted had some of the smoothest, most diverse, and fun gameplay segments of any game out there. Add the playable cinematic factors, and it kicked it all up to a tier that no other game was close to reaching at the time.
By comparison, Gears of War was very static, repetitive, and boring in the gameplay department. Go from cover to cover - pop shoot pop shoot - until ad nasuem occured. Weapons were weak. Enemies had no hit detection. Controls were sluggish and tank like. It was a chore just to play, never mind that it was already just so shallow and tedious. Gears truly is the epotime of generic garbage.
Gears also tries way to hard to have the good stories that an Uncharted game has, and so Gears fails even more miserably in its futile attempts!
Uncharted alone CRUSHES Gears of War in every aspect of gaming. Uncharted contains the vastly superior gameplay and story experience. Uncharted is just the vastly superior game franchise PERIOD!
Lets not even talk about comparing a low level basic TPS like Gears to one of the greatest games of all time in The Last of Us
