younewb.com — Just when you think you couldn't get any more Gears of War, Microsoft VP of Global Marketing accidentally leaked the game's plans for a trilogy. Most of us expected a sequel to come out due to the success of the first, but a third was a little unexpected. I'm not complaining though, I would be happy playing Gears of War 7.

its a god damm video game! what questions could you have! you pull the trigger locust die... Come on its not like its Movie or damm book with a plot. Gamming is about interaction and doing something. If you want a story read a book. Granted a story adds a nice touch to the video game. but in all modern video games the story can be told in 20 minutes. Its usually ..1. wake up in prison or from cryogenic state...come out of retirment..or all three2. fight way out of introductory action mess...usually involving training. 3. find your superior and embark on quest4. fight your way to end point5. plot twist6. fight your way through plot twist7. repeat steps 5 and 6 as necessary8. find boss and defeat him9. sequel...and thus go back to step 1Thats all your fps, hell probably more than that. What questions could you have? and more importantly why do you care? When you play a video game you want gameplay to shine and have re playability...story is like the seasoning it makes the game better but its certainly not the main dish.

Surprised by a trilogy? Knock it off, everyone knew a sequel was coming, and when does anyone ever make *2* games in a series?

Actually I do enjoy a good story in a videogame. If there was no intention for a story, don't have those creepy female narration scenes. ESPECIALLY one at the end that clearly hints at something bigger going on. The PROBLEM with videogames is that they COULD have awesome stories as well as awesome gameplay, but designers are usually too lazy to do both. If Gears of War is truly a trilogy, mayhaps it can break that trend.Furthermore, DO NOT introduce bad ass characters (the giant battle bug at the end of the Fenix Estate sequence) and not let us interact with them!

But maybe it will happen like what happened with Final Fantasy, maybe 7 will be the best, and then it will go downhill. Why did you say 7? Were you subconsciously thinking of FF7?GoW vs WoWHmm... the acronyms are even similar.
