      Some Japanese dudes looking at a gameplay video of the first Gears of War for five minutes and going "This is what the gaijins like? Okay, I think I got it. Big ugly man wearing an entire scrapyard shooting at equally big monster dudes with huge guns from behind chest high walls in ruined cityscapes and also everything is dark and murky"

      As bad as everything in the game looks the worst part might still be the name, just... what the fuck, guys :lenin-confused:

          gears of war fuckin slaps, and they did a much better job than halo continuing the series past the original devs :comfy-cool:

              yeah good point, without the MCC I couldn't have tricked my friends into playing The Library on legendary so there's that going for them

                Provided you can actually get the incredibly patchy co-op working. Seriously, it's so bad for 1 and 2 :sadness-abysmal:

              100% agree on all sequel complaints, the spooky hollow earth aesthetic was way fuckin better

              that being said the cosmodrome section of 5 was pretty rad :stalin-approval:

                  wasn’t the UIR supposed to be even more callous towards human life than the already monstrous COG?

                  Pretty sure that's just in-universe propaganda. The COG were the ones who used the hammer of dawn to blow up the entire enemy civilization and then destroy the biosphere.
