Gears 1 was so unlike anything else when I played it after picking up a 360 in 2006 there was other cover shooters but none that worked as well as this I beat the game in the first few days and spent so much time online looking up leaked info for a sequel I was a huge fan then we finally got 2 and it was great but there was signs that the franchise wasn’t really innovative and although it could tell a good story by the time 3 hit it was showing cracks in the formula not it’s own fault but it was a victim of its own success.

That era had so many years clones and so many ue3 games that everything started looking the same every ue3 game looked like gears and that made gears feel done to death along with the cod revitalisation and gta iv, halo reach, GTA v trailer graphics leap ue3 felt old compared to every other engine.

Had it not spawned countless clones I think it would still be huge and 5 proved it’s still got some life to it. But 4 and judgement just sucked
