It's overrated like a mug. people have rose tinted glasses for that game, we'll part 1 anyway. 3 was decent
peacewalker->ground zeroesDefinitely ready for MGS V. I really wanted to go back and play through the first 4 but I got too many other games I'm trying to finish also. I really like MGS: GZ so that's part of the reason why I'm hyped for MGS V.
Gears tonight!!! I really wish I had an online connection so I could run with you guys. I'll just be doing campaign solo INSANE
that's all you really should do

I feel like I'm the only dude that has an xbox one that could care less about gears and halo.
Even though I played the first gears game for a week or 2, I haven't played a 3rd person shooter for an extended period of time since socom on ps2 and halo just never caught my interest.

- Marcus had bright blue eyes because my father did, so I pushed for that
- I never asked for buff characters. Kevin Lanning just made it that way with the AD Jerry.
- Anya originally had huge boobs but I pushed back on Pete to make her less cartoony. Ironic, considering the guys.
- I wanted a chainsaw gun in a game I pitched in 97, called "OverFiend."
- We had a laser gun planned but we decided for Vietnam like tech so it was cut you can see it in an early image of Marcus.
- Rod snuck in the SP fatigue meter when I was on a biz trip to fix streaming issues. I was furious.
- Rod was assigned to us at MS at E3 years ago and wore the Marcus dorag and at that point I could tell he adored the franchise.
- The style of Gears' architecture came from my exhaustion of concrete bunkers and Jerry's hatred of hazard striping.
- A lot of Gears 1's inspiration game out of my sadness from the failure of my first marriage and a visit to London.
- The idea to do cover came from @MrLeePerry showing me Killswitch one day I was like WANT.
- In hindsight, the Berserker being female and being chained down for breeding is really ****** up. I was in a dark place.
- No writer has ever written two Gears games...yet. The RodMower nearly kills em all with his persistence.
- Before I pitched it to Microsoft I did a bunch of pushups in the hotel and listened to Eminem's Lose Yourself because dudebro.
- Pitching Gears 1 was hard. New IP, new camera, new campaign, new MP, new console, etc...On paper it was set to fail.
- Maria was my personal statement on Terri Schaivo and my belief in right to death...through a dudebro shooter with lizard men.
- Maria was voiced by Courtney Ford who was a dear friend in high school who later married Brandon Routh and we're still pals.
- We cast Carlos Ferro as Dom because I was tired of hearing Speedy Gonzales voices in Splinter Cell games, no offense, Ubi.
- Tanya (jessen) Watson wrote the note on the back of the photo of Maria and Dom that shipped with Gears 2.
- Picture of Dom and Maria from the SE of Gears 2 was drawn based on my ex girlfriend and I at the time.
- Dave, our lead LD at the time, wanted Tai to just jump off a cliff or something, but I pushed for the shotgun suicide.
- The torture the Locust did in Gears was my thinly veiled statement about Gitmo...through a dudebro shooter with lizardmen.
- Marcus was named Fenix because I lost everything from the failed marriage and was rising from my own ashes.
- Dom's original last name was "Glynn" until Rod saw a box of cigars on my desk that said "Santiago" and suggested that.
- Post Epic, Gears 1's art director Jerry was slated to direct the reboot of Thundercats until the CG TMNT failed.
- Mad World was my anthem when I was going through the failure of my first marriage. Somehow marketing felt this and suggested it.
- The other song was "My Immortal" by Evanescence but that's way less cool.
- Baird was named after a childhood friend who was a bit of a ****, Mark Baird. #GearsFacts Baird just sounds like a ****.
- We cast Lester as Cole because of his charisma in the Terry Tate ads. We were like "I'd go to war with that guy."
- Before the game came out, Randy Pitchford came to town to play it and saw how tough the Locust were and said "it's a grinder."
- Years later I'd go to Dallas to test Borderlands early and then meet and fall for my wife. We met in a W hotel designed in UE.
- In SP the last bullet in each magazine is 25% stronger so the chances of "oh ****" fighting a bad guy are high in the game.
- Boomers were named after the robots from Bubblegum Crisis, which was inspired by Blade Runner.
- I said to the art department on Gears (post quake era) NO ******* SKULLS IN THIS WORLD. that clearly worked lol
- I wanted players to not drop weapons upon death unless you execute them as incentive. Ray Davis shot it down.
- I always wanted a "long range revive pistol" in Gears but Rod always thought it was a dumb idea.
- To this day, Epic, Rod, Microsoft and I always kept a good relationship. Biz is biz but friends are forever. I'm signing off.

Ms still gonna push it with holiday coming it will b a add on for clueless parents, they should of bundled it in the halo 5 bundle for an extra $20/30
All ms published games will be backwards compatible so halo will be there.
Anyway the game has sold pretty well so o doubt the buying audience will still be there a year later. Since MCC launch lifetime halo sales jumped for like 55 mill to 60 mill
