First-time Player: Gears of War shows how a shooters done

GR: "I've never played a Gears of War game. Any of them. Ever. So going into the updated Gears of War: Ultimate Edition with a fresh pair of eyes brings a lot of expectations. For years, other gamers and friends have been telling me how great Gears is; how chainsawing opponents in multiplayer is the best thing ever, how Cole Train has great one-liners, and all the ways Dom is a crybaby. But none of that swayed me into joining the fight, because I really had no interest in what I perceived to be a typical shooter starring burly, dude-bro space marines who are too cool to wear helmets in a war zone. To me, Gears just looked like a whole lot of dumb, violent fun, and it felt like I was getting enough mindless carnage in the other shooters I was playing."
