In Response To: Re: Story and Gameplay Integration (3Suns) : No, I mean that the the gameplay, what you do , is the story. People have : complained that we don't get very much background on the characters (in : Gears), or that the story is nonexistent. We don't get much info about the : characters at all. But the story is far from nonexistent. It is just that : it is almost completely played out while you are actually playing the game : (i.e., engaging enemies and moving through the environments). It is unfair : to say that the story is dumbed down, because it isn't; the opposite : argument, that other games have their story trumped up, would be more : accurate. Gears is like a Michael Bay film. I am sure that some would : argue that many of his films don't have a story. Amusing fact: Gears of War actually has a reasonably extensive background; you just need to go to the main GoW website and get the special edition and the artbook that comes with it, and you get a LOT of background exposition on Sera and the humans there. For example, did you know that RAAM was the one that killed Marcus' father? Makes buying those special editions all the more desirable now, eh? :P
