it sure is the deeper of the two IMHO. Gears just needs a more fleshed out story. Well, maybe not, I think they just need to exequte there story. It needs to be... brought out better.

light mass bomb come from?
i remember hoffman's saying they have it in the beginning, and they need the resonator, but

at the end, and you are on the train, they did not explain any of that. And marcus' dad and the whole map of the locust underground?
But these are very small flaws for me. For you, i dunno.

-----------------------
graphics wise, is it Gears uses more shaders and shit but R6 is more into filters and shit like that? i dunno for me it's like that.
