even though i have a 360 i really dont like gears and its the most overrated game in history, the story is dull and everyone loves fenix but he doesnt talk much its just that im a bad ass attitude, you have 4 guys in a empty world some general dude says they need to do this they go, they put a device below earth and boom wow big story.. it could have been great.. then the gameplay, cover kill cover repeat and its the same all the time its very repetitive. multiplayer, theres much better out there so.. yeah.. and gears 2 looks the same thing all over again what does it have that is so special? i hate to say it but this is almost just as bad as halo 3 ( the first was good) are people blind? i dont get it.. most people say: wow you have a 360 you need gears its so amazing..

COD 4 is one of the best no doubt about it, it has a great multiplayer, but the campaign lets its down.

No one cares! Why are you wasting forum space on your personal hate with Gears. So you don't like it, write a blog about it then.

some people....make me sick.

Sure Gears is overrated, but in my opinion it is better than COD 4 and Halor 3 which are both grossly overrated games. Out of the 3 I would say COD has the best single player, Gears has the best multiplayer and Halo is just bleh.

this is a forum if no one agrees thats fine but like every other post its just an opnion to be discussed, i dont hate it, its not a bad game but it doesnt deserve the praise it got, i bought it based on opnions and reviews and was dissapointed.. i wouldnt care about the story if the game wasnt so repetitive, i did mention cod4 because its better but as i said there are better games out there, half life for example it deserves the score and does many things much better than gears and im only talking about episode 2 the other 2 dont count because they are old. bioshock though linear is also made in a much better way.. the so praised gears art style doesnt bring anything new.. there are many better games than gears imo

geeze dude... are paragraphs, punctuation, and spacing too much to ask? We are talking about a medium where the written word is all we have.

and I don't like it either, it's overrated, but you would be taken more seriously if you try a little harder on your presentation.

maybe english is not my main, maybe everyone in the world dont write with all that grammar, everyone understands the only thing missing is paragraphs and i dont really think its really necessary to make it understandable. you can complain when there isnt any punctuation but i dont have all day to try and write everything so nice and pretty.. and even a portuguese writer got the nobel prize and he did write all his book without any punctuation.. yeah it was still good and it was still understandable

I am sorry you all did not enjoy gears. It is by far the most fun I have had gaming wise on the 360. I guess don't buy Gears 2, not sure what else to say other than play something you like.

it is understandable enough, if not people wouldnt write this post.. and youre the first one to ever say that so i think its not a huge problem. i dont mind people giving their opinion about that, there are some people that its not even understandable but sometimes its too much that i think it isnt necessary. its the internet not a language class

dont be lol. well if some really like it then they should play it thats what everyone should do, i also only play the games that i like its the same for most people, im just discussing the fact that for the scores and opnions it gets just arent right imo, there are many games that did better and got the same score or many got even less than it.. the game is far from perfect

God, Whoever says something is overrated just loses all respect in my eyes. If a lot of people like it and it gets good reviews then it's a good game. Get over it. You don't like it don't play it. Don't make retarded topics about it being overrated.

even though i have a 360 i hate gears and its the most overrated game in history, the story is dull and everyone loves fenix but he doesnt talk much its just that im a bad ass attitude, you have 4 guys in a empty world some general dude says they need to do this they go, they put a device below earth and boom wow big story.. it could have been great.. then the gameplay, cover kill cover repeat and its the same all the time its very repetitive. multiplayer, theres much better out there so.. yeah.. and gears 2 looks the same thing all over again what does it have that is so special? i hate to say it but this is almost just as bad as halo 3 ( the first was good) are people blind? i dont get it.. most people say: wow you have a 360 you need gears its so amazing.. rising141

The story's pretty good acutally,

Marcus does talk. Cole train is still the best.

Empty world?, If that world is empty how's the inside of your house? Must be worse.

The gameplay; cover kill cover, what else are you suppose to do? Atleast it's not like Assassins Creed,
In real life your gonna have to cover kill cover, i wanna see you do different. You'll probably end up dead doing something different.

And if you don't like it, well that's your opinon but still come up with better reasons.

I don't play videogames for the story. If I did, I'd only play 2 games a year.

The gameplay in GoW is awesome. I played thru the campaign 4 times.

Whose to say that there are a lot of people who don't have brains. Your just posting about Gears of War being Overrated because you don't like it and the attention it gets. Don't try and make it seem like anything else. And forums are for conversation and debating, not bashing aimlessly. Overrated is a terrible word. It's screams opinion. I don't think it's the greatest but it's a helluvalot of fun. And I despise MGS4 but I would never say it's overrated because so many people like it and it has great reviews. So stop making this out to be some intelligent discussion of Gears because it's not.

i did not bash it aimlessly bacause i gave reasons why IMO it isnt a "perfect" game, i can post whatever i want so who are you to tell me what i should or shouldnt post? maybe just because a lot of people like it it doesnt mean its the greatest game ever ( as some say it is) because there are also a lot of people that say gears is overrated, gta is overrated, halo and some other games, i would like to understand how in the world can it be better than many other great games that do everything better in terms of gameplay, that comment about brains is that many are like sheep unfortunatly... halo for example? anyone can like it thats fine by me but i cant accept the scores it gets and some blind fanboys who say its really good when there are clearly better games, the same with gears.. it cant be an intelligent discussion about gears because fanboys dont even let it to be, i gave reasons i expect people that like it to counter what i said not just say bah you need to die gears is great, great gameplay story but then dont give a reason why its that way

Gears of War isnt right for everybody.

Find a game that suits you better!

Gears of War is just a great game like Halo that you can play with your friends, It's an action shooter, which is really supposed to be the fun part.

I've had so much fun playing gears online, because it can be tatical. taking cover in a real life fire fights is very important, which is what makes gears so fun. Ive taken down entire teams single handedly, because i chose to blind fire around corners while they just run up to me thinking ill be an easy kill.

even though i have a 360 i really dont like gears and its the most overrated game in history, the story is dull and everyone loves fenix but he doesnt talk much its just that im a bad ass attitude, you have 4 guys in a empty world some general dude says they need to do this they go, they put a device below earth and boom wow big story.. it could have been great.. then the gameplay, cover kill cover repeat and its the same all the time its very repetitive. multiplayer, theres much better out there so.. yeah.. and gears 2 looks the same thing all over again what does it have that is so special? i hate to say it but this is almost just as bad as halo 3 ( the first was good) are people blind? i dont get it.. most people say: wow you have a 360 you need gears its so amazing.. rising141

have you really played the game? also we we are 2008 and the game came out on 2006 at look at its graphics many games doesnt even have graphics like that.. and the gameplay of gears of war its pretty awsome anyways.. go play wii if you dont like games like gow (A)!

I loved to laugh at the overwraught, poorly done tough guy dialogue.

But the game and multiplayer were downright fun and gory. Always a winning combination.
