this so, this +100Phenakist said:HAH, such complete bullshit, it's gonna look like Warhammer, and play like Darksiders, simple as that.
The fact that Gears "occupies this space" is completely irrelevant, there's no dots to join, it's the Warhammer universe, it's chain swords, bolters (big guns) hack slash, blood and guts, that's who the Space Marines are and have done for many years and have made no apologies for it. Just because Gears got it's foot in the 3rd person door first doesn't mean they can cock-block a space marine game and have it dragged to the ground for comparisons against it... and lets not forget what the lancer reminded everyone who had seen a Space Marine before of.DesertHawk said:As to the argument of "yeah, well, Warhammer came first!"....that is completely irrelevant. The property of Warhammer 40k may predate the Gears of War franchise by a fair bit, but this is Warhammer's first foray into the Third Person Chunk-Head Shooter genre. A genre which Gears of War is numero uno of, and currently sets the standard for (for better or worse...). Again, keep in mind the whole of the gaming industry, and try not to get bent out of shape when someone connects those dots.
SO yeah, stupid comparison, it's glorified trolling really.
OT
I always found Gears gameplay to be horrible and slow paced. I just hate being stuck behind a wall and the camera angles get annoying after a while. Space Marine felt like a change of pace smashing tons of Deamons and Orks. Getting into the middle of combat, taking charge being badass that's the whole propose of being a Space Marine you aren't suppose to hiding. I always disliked Gears for taking all the credit when anything is done if a 3rd person game. If it's not Gears, it's God of War which I find very unfair that so many people are so closed minded by popularity to see that something else came first.
