Gears Of War has just never appealed to me. It lacks a story and I find that unforgivable in this day and age of videogames. The characters are ugly and totally... brute like, no character substance, the graphics are nice and all but lack any personality. Perhaps because I'm a woman, it doesn't appeal to me in the same way, but a game character has to captivate me... and Gears Of War just doesn't cut it... the name also puts me off,

I hear ya, I'm not questioning your opinion I just thought the comment was unecessary as you took the time to comment on something that is not obviously not worth your time. Many others really liked this game you know even though you didn't so there is no nead to labeling it as bad for the rest of us without really stating why. At least you did that now though so I'm glad :)

Why not just get the video on the Marketplace?Large_Soda

I made the thread before it was up on Marketplace, so meh.

she does have a valid opinion and I agree with it 100%....as for tetris, that example is void since she said specifically....not having a story is unforgivable IN THIS DAY AND AGE OF GAMES! Tetris is not this day and age....games are becoming more and more advanced and detailed, and I personally think Gears lacked that epic storyline that really drew you in.

because some people play games for the stories.....I myself love a story....imagine what GTA would be like without any type of cut scenes...it would be boring.....imagine mass effect wihtout the plot? It would be painstaking....

Tetris is a puzzle game...and it was created in an era where we did not have the technology to create compelling stories. Every single shoot'em up in today's world should focus on a story and character development because we have the technology to push it and we have some fantastic artists and writers who can visualize what some of us can only dream of.

Shoot'em up's DEMANDS a story, otherwise it is just not going to captivate me and I won't feel commited enough to see what happens next and unfortunately that's what Gears Of War represents to me, potentially it has a lot of scope but the designers have abandoned the story and characters for... "Blowing bigger than life" enemies sky high with a chainsaw gun.

If you look at the demographics of the people who play the game, most players are between 8 and 14 years of age who have not yet come of age where they require more mental stimulation and Epic know this.

Hell Cliff Bleszinski said in his own words..."It's incredibly action packed" and the Cog are basically bigger and meaner... where the hell did they come from, what is their problem, what are their politics... how did they even find Earth, are they on Earth... I haven't got a fricking clue.

All I know is, you're this big brute and you've been broken out of prison (where there are no guards, no warden, no security) and you're given this big gun and you shoot other big ugly brutes call cogs... Now if this was 1998 or before... yeah okay, I'd give it some love perhaps, but in the year 2008, no sorry, doesn't cut it.
