    This is my first game of GoW series. This game is absolutely enjoyable and very good. Especially i laughed a lot for Cole. About story, its not boring and you want to play all day. And the ending i suprised very much. If you got a Xbox 360, you have to play this game. If you don't you will be miss a lot of things.

    I haven't played the Multiplayer-aspect of the game, since I am mostly just interested in the story and co-op-experience.

    Loved the first game and the second one was just ok for me I had some big issues with it. The third game has now come out and after beating it I honestly feel like it falls somewhere in the middle. The first being a 9 for me and the second being a 6 or 7 I feel very comfortable with an 8. Didn't reach what I had hoped it would but still a lot of fun. I love the Gears franchise its my

    This perhaps is a rare occasion where the community absolutely ruined the experience of the game for me but I'm gonna save that for later, right now from gears of war 2 you need to know absolutely nothing in terms of story, there's these creatures called lambent that are yellow and blow up and then there's these albino guys called Locust and if you're a gear of war fan then this conclusionThis perhaps is a rare occasion where the community absolutely ruined the experience of the game for me but I'm gonna save that for later, right now from gears of war 2 you need to know absolutely nothing in terms of story, there's these creatures called lambent that are yellow and blow up and then there's these albino guys called Locust and if you're a gear of war fan then this conclusion doesn't really tie anything up, some questions for me were who was the queen, what are these things, what's Marcus' dad have to do with them, etc. and none of them are resolved. Gameplay is the same as gears of war 2 only a little more fluid and smooth.

    As for multiplayer it's absolutely the worst and it baffles me how this stays up, there's only team deathmatch and even though there's other game types this is the only one that truly matters, it's incredibly unbalanced with weapons like sawed off that can be a little forgiving since it does have a short range, to weapons like the retro lancer that downs in less than 3 seconds like a shot gun and you can just charge up to someone and either hit them doing major damage and finish them off or ram them for an execution. Had these guns been pick up rather than selected in your load out everything might of been better, but in this case everything is OP and no one will have fun, I've played with the hammer burst and due to my twitchy finger I can shoot it at incredible speed, but guess what show any amount of skill and you'll be bombarded with hate mail with a community of **** I'm not joking it's the worst community out there, I remember one time where in the middle of a match someone messaged me saying "Nice mod noob ;)" then I calmly (I'm not joking) at the end of the match turn my mic on and say in the most soft and nice tone possible "By the way I don't have a mod" and the guy bragging on the other team who sent me the message screamed "IM F***ING DONE WITH YOU" and rage quit despite his team winning. That's the norm in the game. There's also a bunch of bugs that crash the game example (hasn't been patched and never will be) you push a button while spinning some grenades around and it'll somehow either freeze other players' games or lag the match. Other issues are how the host will be the most OP broken person (it's randomly decided) I've been host I've tanked point blank shots and instead instantly kill other's.

    It's 2015 don't bother with this game, nothing interesting about the plot that someone can just tell you, the multiplayer should just dwindle and die. This game is not bad though it maybe above average if not for some little flaws, but with the flaws (community and all) in mind it's just an average cover based shooter since it is the poster boy for cover based shooting.

    Gears of War 3 is epic. I haven't had this much fun in a game since Bulletstorm, which Epic games helped build as well. The story is pretty good, but Gears 2's was much better. The visuals are also very nice. The multiplayer and horde modes are great too, and extend it's playtime. But the gameplay is where the real fun is with Gears 3.

    Gears of War 3 - ох, а вот эта игра мне уже очень понравилась. Во первых, сюжета стало гораздо больше, диалоги живее, юмор более тонкий и выразительный - прям к месту. Геймплей изменился за счет того, что появилась новая фракция - ламбенты (саранча ктр наглаталась эмульсии и стала заразной). Тут геймплей в целом был похож на предыдущие части, но было больше вау моментов и больше экшена.Gears of War 3 - ох, а вот эта игра мне уже очень понравилась.

Тут геймплей в целом был похож на предыдущие части, но было больше вау моментов и больше экшена. Врагов рили дохрена и заруба жесткая. И тут баланс стал приятнее. Во второй части тебе приходилось миллион пуль всадить в саранчу, чтобы убить даже одного из-за чего перестрелки были реально утомительными. Тут больше врагов, быстрее дохнут и динамика намного выше, меньше сидеть в укрытиях приходилось. Плюс некоторые враги вынуждали выползать из зоны комфорта. В целом игра драйвовая и очень крутая. И причем весьма красивая даже сейчас. Я понимаю, что там был патч для икса, но все же. Выглядит оч круто. Плюс понравились фишечки с погодой.

    É difícil manter uma franquia por tanto tempo sem ter desgaste ou que perca Fans,esse era o maior medo sobre Gears of war 3,Conseguiriam trazer novidades suficientes para a Saga,ou seria apenas mais do mesmo,só um final definitivo para Gears?
    Campanha:O auge da guerra,as forças COG e Horda locust estão usando todas as suas forças,o clima de batalha final é incrível,e você sente o desespero da humanidade.
    Os gráficos passaram por uma evolução nítida,Detalhes dos personagens,iluminação,partículas,mas nada se comparado a oque tivemos de Gears 1 para Gears 2,mas não tira o mérito da Epic Games,já que se tratava do mesmo Hardware.
    Agora o jogo pode ser jogado Co-op por 4 jogadores a campanha inteira,até mesmo nos momentos de veículos sobre trilhos,submarinos,Carros com torretas,a variedade é o destaque do jogo,embora não seja comparado a quão grandioso é pilotar um River ou andar de Brumak em Gears 2.
    Agora a campanha possuí também o "Modo Arcade" onde você pode colocar mutações ao gameplay:Sangue de flores,Munição infinita,Reações de "Plateia" durante o tiroteio,é divertido,porém dispensável.
    Uma variação do modo Horda foi adicionado,Se chama Modo Besta,nesse modo 5 jogadores escolhem entre 15 monstros da Horda para atacar os COG,você consegue "Dinheiro" conforme mata e destrói fortificações,que lhe da acesso a monstros mais fortes,é um ótimo modo,porém muito curto,e quando você consegue os locusts mais poderosos a partida acaba.
    E claro o modo Horda,que esta maior do que nunca,agora além das 50 ondas da Horda,temos fortificações para construir,também baseado no "Dinheiro",quanto mais você mata,mais você consegue construir,as fortificações são:
    Barreiras:Deixam seus inimigos lentos e causam leve dano ao passarem em cima.
    Espantalhos:Que confundem a horda a ataca-los(E servem de armadilhas ao colocar explosivos neles)
    Torretas:Armas acopladas no chão com alto poder destrutivo.
    Sentinelas:Armas de tripé automáticas.
    SilverBack:Exoarmadura com duas miniguns e lança foguetes acoplados.
    MP competitivo:
    Aqui chegamos ao auge da Saga,o melhor competitivo TPS do mercado,traz tudo que tinha de melhor em cada jogo,uma ótima seleção de mapas,muitas armas novas,muita customização e personagens,aliado a melhor e mais fluida gameplay da saga.
    Novas armas:
    Retro lancer:Lancer com faca na ponta,alto poder de fogo porém muito recoil.
    One Shot:Super Sniper,como diz o nome,one shot,one kill,super pesada e difícil de usar.
    Serrada:Shotgun serrada,apenas um tiro,porém destrutiva de perto.
    Digger:Lança granada;Lança uma pequena criatura vida explosiva;Atravessa paredes.
    Incendiaria:Molotov padrão,porém com tecnologia e design avançado.
    Uma adição interessante em relação ao gameplay é a possibilidade de chutar o inimigo do outro lado da cobertura,como uma voadora,além de poder usar reféns como escudo humano.
    Duas armas não foram bem vindas para a comunidade,Retro lancer e Sawed-off(Serrada),pois para muito substituíram a principal arma do competitivo,a Gnasher...Ela ainda estava lá,porém quem usava ela se sentia em desvantagem contra um jogador com essas duas armas.

    Gears of war sem duvidas fechou a Saga em grande estilo,porém cometeu vários deslizes,mesmo que pequenos,teve peso aos fans mais aficionados,O MP não era tão balanceado quanto Gears 2,algumas armas não deveriam se quer existir.
    O modo Besta era enjoativo,assim como o modo arcade.
    A campanha foi sem dúvidas a melhor em relação a Level Design,Gráficos e Gameplay,porém não superou os momentos de impacto do jogo anterior,não estou dizendo que foram ruins,mas eu diria que foram colocados apenas para chocar,e não teve um objetivo muito claro;Os momentos de tiro em trilho não teve tanta criatividade quanto andas de brumak,ou de rivers,são ótimos momentos,mas não superam.
    O desfecho foi perfeito,com frases,ângulos de câmera,duração,tudo da forma que deveria ser,além de deixar uma pequena mais não certa brecha para uma sequência.Tomorrow;
    Gears of war 3 foi uma sequência ótima,mas faltou um pouco para ser uma evolução definitiva,mas isso não é algo ruim,já que é uma franquia estabelecida no mercado,tentar algo a mais que isso seria algo arriscado que poderia custar o Fim da franquia.
    NADA CONSEGUE TIRAR O MÉRITO DESSA SAGA.

    There is something about the Gears of War franchise that I’m really enjoying. The games have all aged very well, there is a story here and there are characters that are likable.

    With that being said though, this iteration is definitely the most cinematic of the three. The first one didn’t really have any narrative, the second one had its moments that felt cinematic but the third is really where they perfected the nuance of storytelling.

    Gears of War 3 was an excellent addition to the trilogy. I would really have to sit down and figure out which one is my favorite. I’ll probably do that at some point after I’ve played Judgement and Gears of War 4. But for now, this is an excellent game that has aged very well.

    Recently played the game and it was a HUGE let down. After how amazing Gears of War 1 & 2 were I had high expectations for this, only to be disappointed. The gameplay is boring, level designs are bland, no atmosphere, character designs are lame, only the story is decent. Couldn't even sit thru the campaign. Nowhere near as good as Gears 2.

    Gears of War 3, in my opinion, is the best Gears of War game of the series.

It improves once again on all fronts, making an even better campaign with some truly gut-punching moments and events that feel desperate as ever, a multiplayer that arguably was solid despite issues, a horde mode 2.0 that made the experience rewarding and great and a beast mode that twisted the concept of horde mode and made being a Locust unit feel badass and awesome. Where to even begin...

    Alot of hardcore Gears fans will tell you this is the worst of the series due to the homogenizing of its multiplayer in favor of a "COD" approach with weapon skins and custom classes, but I actually quite liked it. The smooth flow of the combat made it tolerable to play against players despite not adapting a 60fps game for a smoother experience. The different weapons added variety and forced players to behave differently than previous games. It ultimately though was DOA after the first month for the community in that regard, which really is a shame but as they say "different strokes for different folks".

    The campaign still had a few issues, but with the death of Dominic Santiago and great set piece moments like "Break Neck Sprint, a four player coop that fully utilized the team that the series had in tow for years realized and new enemies and weapons, it just made the game feel far better overall. It ends on a fairly good note, although the Queen boss fight would not be a particularly good fight to end on. The death of the Queen by Marcus stabbing her with Dominic's knife was pretty dam good, and the gravitas of not just his death, but ALL the deaths by the Locust Horde was symbolized through Marcus's rough and gruff demeanor.

    The horde mode is fantastic. You earn money through killing enemies, can share it with your teammates, have challenges to earn more money and build things to prove helpful in fighting the hordes. It made going through waves easier and adding boss rounds every 10 waves was really great and felt like a mad scramble to beat them. Some maps are better than others to play it on however, as Brumaks clipping through small maps like Checkout and Escalation really makes it hard to win. Overall, a huge improvement for the mode from 2 and was my favorite mode.

    Beast mode's first time in the fray proved far more successful than Horde in Gears 2, making Locust units increase in type as you killed more and earned more money. Tearing through barricades as a Berzerker was amazing, being an Armoured Kantus was the coolest thing for me as I spike rolled people and used dual machine pistols. Having some more support units would have been preferable, but what was there was really good.

    There are a couple missteps. In terms of DLC, Microsoft never really sold me on its maps for multiplayer nor side campaigns. In Gears 2, their dlc was more or less a deleted section of gameplay that adds very little to the overall game's campaign, making it effectively overpriced. As for Gears 3's RAAM's shadow, there were good parts in it, but ultimately fail to achieve their goals because they try to overwrite the lore and story of the game's universe and assume people who play it are too dumb to see it. It's also short, but far far longer than the previous dlc. It introduces characters that don't really develop well organically and is more of a fanservice of the lowest minority who care about the Gears universe (such as Barrick who is only in the comics). It was overall mediocre, and unfortunately this mindset would turn the next Gears game into a prequel dream and ruin much of the namesake as a result.

    Gears of War 3 will always be my favorite of the series. If we graphed the franchise in order, then Gears 3 would be the peak of the franchise for me, regardless if veterans would disagree strongly. A game should always be judged by its entirety and not just its main hook. Even if someone only plays Gears for the multiplayer, I like playing games in their entirety to experience the work (or lack of) put into them by the teams who make them. In the case for 3, it served as my favorite Gears entry and one of the best third-person games of all time.

    Gears of War 3 is great, but not as innovative as the previous two. There are new additions and online modes, but the formula is pretty much the same.

    A great game, with a good story and enjoyable combat, but not really a fan of the less dark & atmospheric approach, there are times where it feels like a stereotypical American action movie.

    The epic conclusion of Marcus Fenix and the final battle against the Locust and a new enemy, the Lambent. A solid and complete game in every section, with spectacular campaign and one of the best multiplayer so far, with the inclusion of beast mode in which you can be a locust, MUST HAVE.

    Muito bom. Jogabilidade e gráfico. No meio do jogo, fica meio chatinho, mas depois fica frenético. O final foi perfeito. Não vi nenhum bug no jogo. Excelente jogo. Estou agora jogando o Gears 5, e nunca vi um gráfico tão bonito. O único que chegou perto, foi o Forza horizon 4. GT:WilliamHaole

    As someone who loves the previous two games, I was kind of let down with this one. A lot of improvements from the last game but I think the story in this was the weakest out of the original two. There just wasn't enough heart even though this game DOES pull on one major string after that it just feels flat which is a shame.

A lot of improvements from the last game but I think the story in this was the weakest out of the original two. There just wasn't enough heart even though this game DOES pull on one major string after that it just feels flat which is a shame. Though the Locust are still around, the new focused baddies are a force not to be messed with. More creepy and more ruthless but I'm not sure why I didn't find them to be all that unlike their counterpart. The missions also felt repetitive, some of them kind of felt as if they didn't serve anything for the game's overall story and were just made to give us a full plate which I can appreciate but eh. Overall, for the conclusion to the original trilogy, this one falls sorta flat for me. Beautiful graphics and grand moments, but with a much weaker story from where Gears of War 2 left off. Expand

    (Major pro)
    - Conversations between characters are humorous while maintaining a sense of urgency in completing the objective.

    (Major pro)
    - Graphics are amazing. Concentration on detail can be found on objects everywhere, such as armor, environment and characters. Light and shadow effects are implemented beautifully.

    (Major pro)
    - The storyline is awesome. Especially Dom's story. (For those who played Gears of War 2)

    (Moderate pro)
    - The game presents different situations for the player to use a certain type of weapon in order to be the most effective. The game offers unique and interesting weapons.

    (Major pro)
    - Multiplayer gives immense replay value.

    Cons:
    (Moderate con)
    - Some may find the constant gunning down enemies and moving to the next area only to gun down more enemies a repetitive task, but the game tries to mix it up with different scenarios, which keeps it as fresh as possible.

    (Minor con)
    - Sometimes you may find your teamates waltzing in and blocking your way while you are shooting an enemy.

    (Minor con)
    - Teamates do not come to your aid immediately when you are down and in need of revival. (This may be intentional by the developers in order to make it not too easy.)

    Gears 3 gets an amazing ending to a great video game trilogy. The combat is as intense as you can expect, the graphics are beautiful and the story is deep enough. The only flaw is that enemies are not as tough as in gears 1 or 2 but they are a great challenge. A must-play, specially in new hardware.

    A mio parere qui la ripetitività la fa un po' da padrona, se si è già giocato ai primi due capitoli.
    Ancora more of the same...
    Gioco non finito, ma abbandonato dopo averne appurato la mancanza di innovazioni, almeno per quanto riguarda la campagna.

    Very much more of the same with the hulking stereotypes blasting away at everything that moves in this third person shooter. Like the previous games, there's little in the way of strategy or variety but it looks nice and has some spectacular set pieces. A decent if rather mindless shoot 'em up.
