I went back to watch some of Omaha's Gears of War 4/5 critiques and I think some of the complaints are unfounded, flat out wrong, or completely biased. It's unfortunate that so many people are parroting the same complaints.
Gears of War lore can be spoken about without the inclusion of Gears 5 and it would (for the most part) make sense. Gears 5 retcons some huge things that are impossible to look past making the story problematic. It's the worst inclusion.
Most of the "new" information we got for Gears of War: E-Day isn't new at all. Most of it is rehashed in hopes that we forgot the first few articles to come out. Let's hope for some actual news soon.
