        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.

                    Makes sense. At the end of the day, the protagonists are all soldiers who were following orders. I don't think any of them were ever going to *rebuild society much, they'd just let the people in command build things and go along with it. Also obviously we need another 6 Gears games so there has to be more chainsawgun fights.

                        At this point it's part of the aesthetic of Gears though, isn't it? Like how Star Wars can't get away from lightsabers and x-wings (Andor notwithstanding). The franchise is so managed by corporate that there's no room for originality, we just have to keep doing the same thing over and over again with slightly shinier graphics.
