You misinterpreted what I am saying. There is a story, a complete story no one says it wasn’t. However amongst the player base, it was an afterthought as we only wanted the multiplayer.
More like worldwide. Gears damn near shaped the competitive online future with guys like Nick Mercs amongst many others generating (for that time) massive income with live tourneys.
Maybe your inner circle enjoyed the game for story but that was definitely an afterthought for most.
TOTK is damn near top 3 of all time. Dude said the exploration wasn’t there. Clearly never played the game.
Theres an Entire Map under the map but I digress
