Should I play through Gears Of War befor ...

Alright, I'm going to be buying one of these next weekend, should I buy %26 play GOW before GOW2?Should I play through Gears Of War befor ...
get Gears Of War 1 first so you understand the story and will enjoy Gears Of War 2Should I play through Gears Of War befor ...
I never played thru GoW1 before 2, but I was pretty curious about what happened with Marcus's father in the first one.
It's not necessary, unless you just want to see how the first plays. The first's story was so forgettable that it doesn't even matter.
probably, its kinda confusing and you wont get a lot of plot lines and little quips if u dont
Yeah, if you don't some bits you might not understand. Also, it's good to know how the characters got together in Gears 1.
Yeah throw Gears 1 a rent and then pick up a copy of 2
both r good but u don't have 2 those bothfor GOW 2 is actually better
Theres not much to Gears 1. I'm pretty sure the characters even reference what happened in multiple times. You can just check a plot summary or rent the game.
Play the first one all the way through. There is even a book that you can read aspho fields and Jacinto's Remnant ive read aspho fields but not jacinto. not that bad of a book gives a litlle more back story then the game does.
It might be wise to play Gears of War first. You could easily catch up on the story playing Gears of War 2, but you might miss out on the story. I would definitely play both games, because it gives you the full story. Gears of War is pretty affordable now, so you could get it, and then get Gears of War 2 a week or two later.
The first is my favourite (darker theme to it)
For plot reasons only, I wouldn't say it's necessary to actually buy them both though. 2 is a better game in my opinion, but not by a big margin.Just wikipedia the plot of the first one.
It's not necessary to follow the story. Gears didn't have much story, so everything will be clear after about an hour in Gears 2.



However, Gears is still a great game even today. It's action packed and you will regret never playing it. Also, Gears 2 has these little references to the first game that are pretty cool and funny. You will miss out on all of this just wondering why someone put so much emphasis on a certain word or sentence. While if you did play the first, you'd probably laugh, or at least appreciate the reference.



Plus, it's cheap as hell. I think you can get it in stores for about 20 bucks. Gears 2 is still 60 as far as I know.
i would get gears 1 before gears 2 so that you can understand the story better

Ah, I see. I still say play Gears first. It's still cheaper and an amazing action packed experience. Play Gears 2 afterwards.
Ideally, yes, but I wouldn't say it overly matters. I played GOW2 first and I still enjoyed them both.
doesn't matter, i played gears 2 first and didn't feel lost. i'd recommend u get gears 2 tho, it does everything gears 1 did and does it a lot better
you don't need to buy the first one. it only mentions events from the first one like 3 times, vaguely. besides, the second is better in almost every way. but the online from the first runs WAY better.
