Both campaigns so far have been fun to play & replay, especially co-op. However it's the multiplayer (and Horde) that keeps me around. The beta has shown me that I have nothing to worry about.

In the game's defense, how can you write a decent story revolving around the meat-head characters in Gears. Might as well just concentrating on tearing...stuff up.

You can't get worse then Starcraft 2. "Because at the end of the day, Starcraft 2 is about a boy and a girl" not that this is a bad thing, but does it REALLY belong in a game like sc2?

No the gameplay will fail;)At least from my impressions, i'm not that interested in it. There are only so many times you can take cover,duck shoot duck shoot,take the next cover,and duck shoot duck shoot before it becomes like ok I'm done with this Although to be fair not too many games have been able to keep me interested

I never see why people act like accomplished authors are going to magically make the story amazing. They can write good books sure but every time I've seen a story hyped up due to them hiring an author it hasn't been all that great.

Seems like Gears 3 will drop some big plot points with Adam Fenix. If they execute it properly the story could actually be pretty great for a shooter.

Remember what happened with Crysis 2? We were promised a great story, and ended up with a horrible story.

True, but luckily the rest of the game was pure shooter excellence. Best FPS of the gen so far!

Exactly not a bad game but it's story was pretty bad. In my opinion these kind of games don't need them and I don't really think that authors are the way to go.

More like the biggest disappointment of all time. It's an alright game for what it is, but it's got absolutely nothing on the first game.

They've had positive reactions to their Beta, I think they'll get the same for the Campaign.

What story? I've played Gears 1 and 2 and still don't know wtf the war's about. I thought Crackdown had a flimsy plot, but Gears takes the cake. It's literally "Ok you're a soldier and you're fighting.....these underground creatures....because...well just shut up and kill everything." The main character is a meat head. His dialogue is like "duh ok, you go left, me go right, we kill dem gud." You have this Fred Flintstone looking fellow taking up half the screen, and the dialogue from the rest of the squad sound like a bunch of college fratboys having a keg party. I expect Gears 3 to be as heavily overrated as Gears 1 and 2, and I expect it to get 5 million in sales in the first month. Me, I'll be scanning my Amazon wishlist for price drops and playing anything good I find, and probably end up getting this game two years from now when the price drops to $15, because that's pretty much what it's worth.
