I'm a heretic.. (Gaming)

I never liked the gears series. As a Halo fan it always seemed to be a parody of Bungie's series. The marines acted like bad movie stereo types, made implausible decisions and their leaders where grotesquely incompetent. The plot veered greatly across the game modes as they incorporated anything to match the last Halo game, like Dom's wife, and his eventual meaningless sacrifice.

I played it, since my friends adored horde mode, but I never really got into it. The cover based system just isn't fun, all the enemies looked the like the same gray mutants, and the plot is just annoying. Which is a pity because the engine looked exceptionally capable and I could imagine all the things you could do to make the game fun and interesting, but GoW never really explored.
