Maybe this is just a me-thing, but this game controls absolutely horrendously. Movement is sluggish, gunplay is not chunky, and the cover system is actually frustrating to use sometimes. Pair that up with a generic and boring story, one-dimensional characters, and subpar gameplay and you've got a deeply unsatisfying experience. Playing on the hardest difficulty is extremely trivial as well, with your character dying extremely quickly. And, of course, the game has a bajillion achievements tied to the multiplayer that nobody plays anymore, with a lot of them requiring insane amounts of grind. The game looks great, and works as intended, I just really don't think its a game for me. I'm kind of shocked Gears of War got so many sequels, and that at least gives me hope that they are better than this.
