You're a moron and you completely missed the point of my post. I was stating Gears has a far better cover and battle system, nothing more. The plot's barely there and while in Mass Effect II the plot Continuity (or rather lack of) isn't great, it's far superiour to Gear's storytelling.
I happen to love bioware, I enjoyed Dragon Age, Baldur's Gate, NWN 1 and 2, Kotor 1 and 2, hell I even liked Sonic Chronicles (which no-one did), I love Mass Effect (won't shut up about it), but they just went and fucked up the sequel in nearly every way possible.
On PC the game was all but broken. So many glitches, the story made no sense in comparison to the first game, the characters weren't as likeable, and they even gutted the length of the game. It was so short and pointless. Hardly any sidequests, You collect your team gain their "loyalty" and then go fight the final boss (which by the way was the most retarded game design I've seen in any game ever).
