Why do the Gears of War games have such excellent advertising but such repetitive, uninspired gameplay? There's so much potential for interesting storytelling and variety there, but it always comes out like a pile of nothing.

The trailers are better than the final game, every time.

Nah, the campaign in 2 is great. Even the story was good, giant worm included. They just don't make the game anywhere near as emotional as the marketing. That's the only difference.

The cover shooting is fun and not as repetive as you say.

The gameplay is good though and you always feel like you are fighting a losing war. Except maybe in 3.

There's also high skill in the multiplayer

Thats how I knew it was gonna be bad.

Because its a game about fighting giant Lizard men targeted at males.

Why do you want to inject gay 2 deep 4 u storytelling in a sci-fi shooter?

>awesome advertising
>uninspired game play

That's descriptive of pretty much every modern AAA game

I'd argue there's not a hell of a lot you can do to make the characters or the locusts very interesting without drastically changing everything. Architecture was very pretty, some of the arenas you fight in are starkly beautiful. I'd like to see the game open up more and spend less time on half-baked characters

That's just it, everything in the game seems to have so much thought put into it, besides the gameplay itself.

I feel judgments game play was decent for a 3rd person shooter but it wasn't ''''gears'''' 8 you know what I mean

Because they were ahead of their time.

I replayed 2 and 3 recently and 3 is so much smoother gameplay wise.
