third person cover based shooter with no aliens is alot different than doom plus if every shooter is a rip off of doom then shooters would be dead by now
-
Gears is a 3rd person shooter fyi since u didnt know anything about it
-
I think you were correct in saying it's a Doom ripoff. It's a big tough marine shooting and killing aliens. Its the same story mechanic that's been used in most shooter games with the only major exception being Half-Life

Love your reviews, and this review is another good one backed up with all you're pros and cons etc. Just remember your audience includes gamers, and gamers will get upset about naive comments. Maybe next time just say the "i know nothing about computer games part" and leave out the the comments with no knowledge or weight behind them. Love Dice Tower reviews, bit surprised you still think PC games are the same as from the 80's.

You're a really good critic, even though you aren't passionate about your game, you were still very invested in the review and in the explanation of the gameplay. Nicely done

@Benieg83 I still have a place to call it offensive .. Do i not .?
-
Lol, everyones getting all upset about calling gears of war a ripoff
-
@adamtv13 It wasn't a joke, it was a reference to the logic of the game mechanic.
-
@thedicetower P.S ..Can you try not to do so many "Slit your wrist" and "Cut yourself" jokes .. I had a problem for many of years . It's like joking about a persons desies or illness

I kinda expected a bad review after you said that your opinion of the game might surprise the viewers, but that you dislike it so much I would have never thought.
However, the reasons you gave for it are good ones and I will probaby buy Descent rather than this game.
P.S.: Tom, you should know better than to call GoW a Doom ripoff. Although I have never played GoW, I'm sure that following this line of thought I could also say that all deck building games are Dominion ripoffs.

@McNoat I apologize for saying the word "ripoff". Maybe "descendent" would have been a better word.
