So yeah this is kinda late at this point but I’m gonna talk
about gears three.
September 20th 2011 was the day all gears head shall remember forever as it was the release date of Gears of war three, the final chapter of epic games’ proud child. At least of course until gears of war zero comes out as a prequel set during the pendulum wars. Note to epic games: PLEASE DON’T DO THIS. Please for once let the ending be the end prove your dominance over bungie and allow a series to be laid to rest at the proper time not beaten and squeezed for every last drop. Seriously people halo was over with halo three. ODST was bullshit about some gut in some city who wasn’t even a Spartan and passed out for like six fucking hours of the game just to be sure you knew that. Halo wars was actually a decent RTS game I enjoyed playing but it had not shit to do with the main series and reach was an obvious blatant cash in. And then tired of trying to make new halos to get your money they opted to just put out the first one again on the 360. And halo 4? Ugh no comment on that one. Halo was over with three and it should have stayed that way. Oh hey I was supposed to be talking about gears of war three wasn’t I? Right yes, anyway please epic let it just be over, it looked over let it stay that way.
Anyway that point aside onto the actual gameplay, controls are basically the exact same as the first two and every other cover based third person shooter with a few minor tweaks. I actually really like the mantle kick that was implemented, and the new online set up of; once you’re connected just loading more maps for matches is great. Find one match then just play till your done. This positivity out of the way I still feel like the shotguns, No kids that s wasn’t a type there are two of them now, are extremely finicky in their behavior sometimes deciding to just not do as much damage at others for no apparent reason. But I do feel like the assault rifles are actually useful for something other than the chainsaw now. So points on that, I find it a mistake when I have something and I just look at it like why the fuck does this even exist? Never once have I used it nor seen anyone else use it to any real effect. The assault rifle barrels and gun components no longer sit in this category of things and I do find the retro lancer to be quite a joy. So yes the gameplay is quite solid when the shotguns are being consistent and nobody is trying to glitch the game out. I guess the third time really is the charm on that.
Alright then story time,
*Spoiler warning*
This here is why this game isn’t going to get a ten. The story sucks and if you think it’s good you’re wrong. It really is bad. Seriously I mean yeah it ended now but how the hell did the end make any fuckin sense? Marcus’ dad pops out of the woodwork say Oh btw guys imulsion is actually a parasite but don’t fret I have this machine I built that will instantly kill all the imulsion off the entire planet and as a happy accident it also kills the locust which for some reason I don’t want to happen and am sad about. That’s not good story telling it’s just not. OMG PROBLEM. OMG SOLUTION eleven seconds later, makes me wonder why the problem even came up. All this being said I do still find some of the characters likable. Not Marcus and his supposed to be tragic loss of father. Not farmer Dom and his supposed to be heroic sacrifice, even though I really wanted to, I liked Dom in gears two people. Not Anya and…. Actually what did she really do in the game? Cole was funny with his seemingly childish glee in murdering locust still hanging about him though the bandana looks stupid. Baird and his witty jackass humor have always resonated with me especially his line at the end of act one about Sam. The newest carmine brother actually proved to not be a total wimp and a bitch and managed to survive a game despite epic trolling us all with that heli crash and the slow panning shot of his helmet lying discarded in the sand. Jace, kinda cool, cooler after having played Ramm’s shadow. Anyone else, meh must not have been important enough to remember.
*Spoiler over*
Overall it’s functional and pretty decent with a crap story. Good but not great.
