With Delta squad forced to hole themselves up on Raven’s Nest, a huge tanker in the middle of the sea along with the rest of the COGs, the story kicks off with the emergence of some shocking information and the return of a few characters to help give humanity a slight chance in their fight for survival.Īs far as stories and wrapping up the inevitable conclusion goes, Epic can’t really be faulted for its conclusion to Marcus Fenix’s narrative arc, with the studio seemingly getting all of the requisite peaks and troughs in exactly the right places. Picking up a few short years after the events of Gears of War 2, the threequel picks up with humanity on its last legs and Sera struggling to cope with the rise in Imulsion and the unsightly beasts it’s spawned. Here we are though, four years later, millions of copies of the franchise sold to date, and with the third game finally upon us Epic Games is bringing the console-shifting trilogy to a close and thankfully for us, they do so in style. From the off it pushed the boundaries and set new standards, not only from a visual perspective, but from a gameplay perspective. Sure, Halo has contributed to the success of the current console, but not quite like Gears of War has. It could be said that in the same way Halo made the Xbox what it is today, Gears of War did the same for the Xbox 360.
