Gears of War: Disappointment
Very rarely do I buy games new when they first come out. It is even more rare for me to preorder it and pay it off weeks before it comes out, then wake up early to pick it up. That is exactly what happened with Judgement, and its not something I regret, but it is something I could've done without.
Gears of War: Judgement is essentially a game built off of lame side quests. You play for something like 15 spurts of 3 to 5 minutes, then are interrupted by a DMC style scoring system, then you do it again. I enjoyed this in DMC because it felt like a short break. In GoW, however, it feels like someone is in my way when I am trying to get to the bathroom.
To add to that, the scoring system is vague and uninteresting. When you are playing multiplayer your score is competitive against those on your team... You know... the ones you're supposed to work with to beat the game? Yeah. You're trying to out do them. I guess that is not inherently a bad thing, but this game does not pull it off well at all.
The good news is, after you finish the annoying Judgement campaign, you unlock another one! This one is equally annoying and seems to consist mostly of Kamikaze lambent humans that just run at you over and over.
Don't get me wrong, the gameplay is decent. I don't regret buying it or playing it, but if you don't have it yet, I would advise you to wait until it hits the 15-20 (insert your currency here), because it isn't worth much more than that.
