Holy shit even adding that on with that theme. This game was on point.

They didn't let their race, sexuality or gender define them. Instead they had personality and goals.
Julian Hernandez
You think they ever called Cole a nigger behind his back?
Adam Watson
Gears 1 was by far the best in the series in terms of campaign and story/atmosphere
Gears 4 would have been 2nd if not for the annoying characters.
Tyler Gomez
It works when you don't notice it.
Dominic Taylor
Good job Cliffy B. :3
Jaxon Hill
Given it's a different planet with no history of slavery or oppression it's doubtful racial slurs like that would develop

A better game or did she die in one of the Gears rape camps or somethings?

Gears of War's team worked because there was literally a character for everybody.
Marcus was the tough and gruff, grizzly veteran with the raspy voice. So he was basically the team Badass. Dom was the sympathetic best friend character, it helped that he was likable and had good chemistry with Marcus. Baird is the douche bag funny man, who happened to have most of the best lines of the game without relying on memes and "nerd lingo."
And Cole was the bombastic, larger than life, crazy man that kept the squad lively and, no pun intended, colorful.
It also helped that everyone seemed to actually like one another and got along well through all three games.
Gears of War also had the advantage of being a sci-fi on a completely different planet than earth, so they don't have to play off real-world bull shit. All four members of Delta Squad are from Tyrus, and probably have similar upbringings and beliefs.
It would have been fucking weird if, out of nowhere, Cole just started going off about the Civil Rights Movement and preaching about other bull shit that a 5'8" rich white manlet called Cliffy B doesn't really understand.

fat larry is one of the most likable characters in vtmb.
