13 years since it's debut, the Gears series continues to allude to fascinating topics without really addressing them--or challenging its characters.

i went through the list to kill some time. WHat I found crazy was out of the 35 games only 3 are exclusive to the xbox one. Forza ori and damn I forgot the other.
I don't think Microsoft trusts it's developers and fans enough to tackle any serious issues. Microsoft can replicate God of War as they did with much of Gears of War, but can't replicate the kind of deep narratives that God of War has.
I think the series pretty blatantly explains why so many people in the Gears universe hate the COG. It’s obvious that the COG is the overarching villain of the franchise, if you pay attention to the story.
Personally I thought the series took a huge leap in story telling (particularly in writing). I thought 4 was wry cliche with horrible action hero catch phrases. Though 5 has some of those moments too, it’s still far and away better at story telling and most importantly character building.
I disagree. The story is a good balance between tough and emotional. There are still some hard hitting points in Gears, always have been, but it doesnt dwell too long before getting back to the good stuff.
It dives deeper into locust origins and cog characters, we get more of how the outsiders view the cog as fascists, we got actual character development for some characters (wish they would have done a bit more), we got a lot more details on places we only ever heard of... I thought it did well, with still being fun and action packed and not hour long cutscenes.
