People have to understand...

This was just a snippet of three days with Delta squad & how they happened to form from pieces of other squads.  There is a developed story as we all know.  I like the fact that what has been presented thus far is a bit convoluted.  It is highly probable that Gears 2 will go in-depth to flesh out the circumstances that have led to the current state of Sera, formation of the COG, importance of Imulsion, etc.  I agree with what Zoso stated earlier about gameplay is what keeps gamers coming back time & time again.  Yes, story is important & it will be elaborated on.  After all, Gears wasn't really planned to be a one shot deal.  Epic & MS knew that it had a juggernaut in the making.

Let's do it! Wooohhh!!!

right on

the story that we got was really all thats needed, however i'd love to get me hands on some gears novels too.

also, you have to understand that ppl say this kind of stuff to get attention. say something freaking about lost planet story (for example) and you get a meh response, say something about gears story and you get thousands of hits and ppl talking about you everywhere.

Its a tasty start really

Before the launch of Gears, if you heard it was coming, there was a bit of story telling playing out online at EPIC's Gears of War site in the four mini-movies attached to Marcus's imprisonment.  I thought this was a good viral touch for those wanting to know more before the release, and their content didn't spoil any bit of the game that was played.

Once we got our hands on the game, it was a roller coaster ride.  I think all those here have agreed, the purpose was for EPIC to showcase the world of Sera (UE3), the Characters, the Environments, the Weapons, and the Game Mechanics.  Now, we have had a taste and we want more.  That is a damn good effect.  To play a game over and over and still want more.  

There is plenty of room for the story to expand, the weapons, characters, and game mechanics to expand.  If we read Papi's latest interview, we should be stoked by the fact that CliffyB is not sitting on his laurels and EPIC has a good reputation of supporting their product.  My only concern is how long can I wait?  They couldn't give me new content fast enough, but I'll be eager to get when they send it out.  

Gears is Good!  

Ready to finish all the Fights!
