Gears Vs. Halo

the fact you never get to view the emotions and character on a humans face DRASTICALLY reduces the amount of emotional connection you can have with the character.

Not true. Even though you can't see his face, you know wheather or he is felling excitment, dread or whatever because that's how connected you are to the character. Body motions, tone of voice and stuff like that all plays a vital roll.

Example: When he finds out the way Halo destroys the flood in Combat Evolved. He turns around slowy with his head down and says to the moniter, "is it true?".

Or when he watches the video from Jenkins helmet camera.

Or when he was about to retrive the ID thing from Keys when Keys was flood formed.

also if you >1/4 autistic you can have the same emotions he has which i have tested

Ya know for crying out loud would someone just make a fucking movie out of the Halo series already?

Enough of the live action bullshit, just make a movie series like LotR did.
I mean its cool and all but seriously...

Gears of War has more emotion than Halo.

Doesn't matter. Point still stands.

I disagree, there where some amazing moments in halo, some just totally gut wrenching. Others that made your blood boil, and making you scared out of your wits. Though I am mostly talking about the first halo

"Gut wrenching" and "blood boil" made me lol because there is none of that. Even though Halo 1 did have the best story out of all the halo games, Gears still does better for the sole fact that all its characters have visible faces.

It does. It doesn't matter if you hate the game or not, the fact still stands.

OR we nuke Epic from orbit and threaten M$ to make it or we do the same to them *sarcasum*

Nuking EPIC Games would be a bad idea. They make excellent games and losing them would put a dent in MS's profits. EPIC has the Gears franchise, and Unreal Tournament to name a couple. Both of those are really popular.

yes, it's very emotional... where might I ask?

It was gut wrenching when I saw Captain keyes as a horribly disfigured flood form. It made my blood boil when I heard that the sqauds on the beach of the silent cartographer were slaughtered.

Well because you can't see his face, you can't read his emotions. I would say that you are less emotionally connected to him, but he is still a character many people are attached to through the series.

but thats because you ARE him, thus you get connected via that route. He's YOUR place in the universe.

ntm the Unreal engine brought us Batman Arkham Asylum and Shadow Complex and Mirror's Edge and many others to name a few.
