why would MS even waste time bringin' Gears to japan....people out there only play jrpgs

kewlkat0075503d ago (Edited 5503d ago )

The trailers are always amazing, makes me wanna play....

Mandaspt5503d ago

The original sells very weel in Japan.

FamilyGuy5503d ago

Seriously, I had no idea this title had not already reached Japan. This might cause an increase in hardware sales, they might even get as high as 1.1 million user base now.

DelbertGrady5503d ago

I think it's too violent for the Japanese audience. Don't think it will be a hit.

thewhoopimen5503d ago (Edited 5503d ago )

They should use the drill rig song one. This one is too violent and visceral for most japanese taste... Horrible horrible choice for japanese market, plus no sense of story, just chaos, another no no.

AAACE55502d ago

They do like their RPG's, but the japanese are like us and are always looking for something different to play if it's interesting to them.

The first Gears was OK to me, but I find that I like Gears 2 alot more. You never know, the same could happen there as well. It's not a FPS, so that has to count for something...lol!

Old game for Japanese players :).

commodore645503d ago

wowee.

GOW2 has sold very well, with more to come, hasn't it?

Halo3 MLG Pro5503d ago

The first Gears sold out in Japan in the first week so I expect the same this time around. But this has to be one of the sickest commercials I have ever seen.

Tempist5503d ago

I think they just recut the original ad but had a voice over and translation this time. It's not a bad ad, but I don't think it's effective in giving information.

The Japanese culture is different in the sense they like to know what they're getting into as well as details about the game. All I get from this ultimately is there's a fight in a cave.

Ranking The Gears Of War Games From Worst To Best

The Gears of War series has been a consistent deliverer of quality for Xbox, but which games are the best?

Gears of War is my favorite video game franchise, and the Locust is my all-time favorite faction.

My rank list:
1. Gears of War 2
2. Gears of War 3
3. Gears of War 1
4. Gears of War 4
5. Gears of War 5
6. Gears of War Judgment (No Locust in multiplayer was a disgrace)

ChasterMies693d ago

Agree 100% with this ranking. The campaign in Gears of War 2 is among the most fun campaigns ever made. It’s been downhill from there.

Zombieburger638693d ago

I’d say gears 2 and 3 are pretty even. I absolutely loved both of them.

darthv72694d ago

2 is still my favorite but 5 is also up there (for me). Then I'd say 1, 3, 4 and Judgement. Tactics isnt the same type of game, so it seems odd to rank it among TPS when its a strategy game. So I make that one all its own. Pretty fun game too.

Jericho1337694d ago

The first is and has always been the best one imo - the story, the levels, the set pieces, the soundtrack - as close to perfect as a campaign can get.

I’d say the series had been on a continual downhill slide until 5.

Om4ever693d ago

Naaaan ... 2 is the best by far

MadLad694d ago

3
5
2
1
4
Judgement

I love the series as a whole, but 4 was pretty by the numbers, and Judgement was just ok.

LoveSpuds694d ago

I played them all since picking up a Series X about 7 months ago. Personally, I don't think time has been kind to the earlier games and they feel very slow and repetitive to play. Whilst the newer games may be prettier, they stick with the original gameplay mechanics too much in my view so as a whole series of titles, I think they are pretty average games.

Not to say they weren't fun and I have a lot of nostalgia for 1 and 2, I just think there are far better action games out there.

It's brilliant but personally liked part one more. It's the only one that had a near horror movie vibe to it in parts, the atmosphere was amazing.

Also, the commercial for it was 🔥🔥🔥

Neonridr827d ago

Mad World was such a perfect song for that trailer. I loved part 1 too just because it was so fresh at the time. The series has been solid, but experiencing everything for the first time was pretty awesome.

ChasterMies827d ago

Gears of War 2 has one of the greatest campaigns of all time. Carmine, all that juice, fighting inside a giant worm, and riding monsters.

Knightofelemia828d ago

Gears 1 and 2 will always be my favorite Gears titles. The scene where Dom find his wife and then has to shoot her was an epic scene.

monkey602827d ago

I always found that scene laughably bad myself. Fantastic game though.

1 will always be my favourite. Most were great with the exception of 4 being okay and judgement being terrible.

They still have the most satisfying headshots from any multiplayer game around.

lucian229827d ago

Nah I laughed, the acting was soooooooooo bad

KicksnSnares828d ago

My favorite Gears game list
1. Gears 2
2. Gears 3
3. Gears 1
4. Gears 4
5. Gears 5
6. Gears Judgement

Gears Of War is my favorite video game franchise. I can’t imagine how Gears 6 will look in UE5 after watching Hellblade 2 gameplay trailer

RetroCaptainSteve828d ago

Or if they remake 2 and 3 with that engine.

KicksnSnares828d ago

There is a rumored Marcus Fenix collection (Gears 2 & 3 remake) in the works at the Coalition. Hopefully, it’s true, but I doubt it.

Profchaos827d ago

For me you can't beat gears 1 the original was so fresh and revolutionary at the time.
Then basically I'd rank it 2,3,5,4 and judgement

Viljong828d ago (Edited 828d ago )

One of the reasons why i got the series x. Been fan since the first game.

myfathersbastard827d ago

Played them all recently on gamepass. Great games. But my favorites gotta be gears tactics. Don’t know why. I just had a blast with it lol

Atom6661170d ago

This is the correct answer.

nibblo1170d ago (Edited 1170d ago )

Close to my rankings but some differences. My rankings:

1. Gears 3
2. Gears 5
3. Gears 4
4. Judgement
5. Gears 2
6. Gears 1

People will hate on me putting Gears 2 so low but I always felt the graphics were too busy to the point of confusion and the combat/movement hadn't really improved over 1. Lot of cool ideas but execution wasn't the best as far as I'm concerned.
