Yo what up everyone, this channel will be some gameplays, news, reviews, critiques and just whatever else I may talk about. Let's get into it.
Gears 5 - The Inconceivable Critique
So... took a little longer than I intended. Guess that's pretty on par for me by now lol..
Gears 5 in its entirety is still a good game, but man did it not release well. There's so many issues that felt so difficult to fit in one video (hence the length).
Hopefully you all enjoy! Let me know your thoughts down below!

Did we NEED Gears of War: Judgement...
Переглядів 37 тис.Рік тому
Much like the Gears fanbase, I find myself in a love/hate relationship with the game. People like when there are changes to their games to keep things fresh, but its the kind of change that matters... Do I think Gears judgement is a terrible game? Ehh no I wont say terrible, but its hard for me to say it was a great game either cause it really could have done alot more.. If you liked this video...

I was really hoping on that Xbox showcase for at least some Gears news so that at the time of releasing this video, there would be all types of hype around the Gears games again and I would have the chance to replay this one again with updated graphics or something along that line, but once again we Gears fans were left with nothing after all the Starfield hype.

That snatcher tag team was fucking diabolical, like a NBA game.
So u can't play Horde offline, I would've automatically given Gears 5 a 0/10
My father's been kidnapped, we dont have much time. Lets play rock paper scissors
DEI’s of War
This game is fine. I don’t understand all the hate it gets. Idk what else they could’ve done to create a new conflict and get the story going. . They didn’t execute it perfectly but not that bad either. The characters are ok. JD and Del are decent Kate is a bit cliche strong women with a chip on her shoulder. All in all am enjoyable game
Pretty sure that was Carlos Santiago
They were blind that they wrote kait to project her self on Jd because they don't even see projections in themselves, they can't write good stories coz they do it for money like faz just taking orders lol
People are always so angry because Kait was eventually the lead and I don’t get why. Leaving gears 3 there was still a mystery behind the locust and how they got their queen Baird even has a line in the elevator shaft something like “she doesn’t look human, did she join the locust for shits and giggles or something.” And to get that explanation gears 5 really did it well so I don’t think the characters are the problem. The problem is the vibe of the game and the horror aspects being gone. We used to roam the empty creepy city’s years after and during emergence day but in gears 5 we roam barren wastelands and it ruins the feel of gears.
Which might I add makes the last chapter the best because we face the locust/swarm head on trying to save people
2:00:06 I honestly can't sympathize for the protesters considering what has happened the past four to five games. Yeah the cog government was corrupt but at this point in the timeline I'd rather trust the government that saved Humanity and has the means to do it again then whatever the hell the people want to do living outside of the cities 🤷🏾♂️
Will you do a video about the gears Books and Comics??
Gears is xbox greatest franchise in my opinion
Wont lie, this games multiplayer has some dope skins and characters. Ketor Vrol, Rager, Hunter, Warden, Crimson Skorge, Ravager Grenadier, Lambent, COG Commandos, Hollow Storm Clayton & Sam and several more. And Karn. We were robbed of not being able to play him in judgement.
If I remember correctly Ben was also a choice of the players no? I may be misremembering.
Gears4 1000% got multiplayer right. Them esports games were so fuckin fire to watch
By the way, if you really love Steve Jablonsky's music, I recommend checking his tracks for the Michael Bay movies. He is a close partner of his and somehow, Bay manages to pull all of the creative juices out of Jablonsky everytime they are together. His Transformers tracks for example are awesome, all 5 movies, its crazy. He also worked in "Ender's Game" and its soundtrack is just beautiful.
I appreciate the time and effort you put into this keep it up
I appreciate it!
1:22:28 funny about this, if JD gets kick when an enemy vaults he can drop It like a heavy weapon, you can even carry It and run with it
I remember my mom being so pissed at my grandpa for letting me play this when I was like 8
what is the 83% joke?
Initially in Gears 4’s multiplayer the gnasher infamously would consistently do 83% damage when it certainly seemed like it should’ve been a one shot kill. It happened so frequently to people that it became a meme in the community pretty much
I mean judgement is better than gears 5
this games dirt
Owning a kantus is the greatest superiority complex
The worst thing that can happen to any franchise : no definitive end. At that point, maybe just blow up the planet for real. I was excited for Gears OF WAR 6 (not skipping) but after 5 got me bored as hell, horde mode (my favorite mode) got me mad as hell and everything surrounding actual Microsoft and the dev team, I'm not even trying looking at the next game. Not E-day, not 6 nothing. I almost prefer that no game get out. And for the love of god, don't make that military shooter a god damn RPG in the campain !
I hated the damn boat
I hated JD with a passion I was hype when I got the choice in gears 5
The new Locust origin also doesn't make a lot of sense (its a retcon).... I mean, the Locust were a full fledged society, with fully developed institutions, religions, architecture, language, morals, complex hierarchy, they built all of that, in just 30 to 50 years??? When the Locust where always there in the hollow, it made way more sense... Like Myrrah says in her quotes, that Sera is rightfully theirs, since they are pretty much born from the planet itself.
Yeah Its always been confusing and even more so with 4 and 5 because gears 2 seemed to hint at it being the chance of the locust always being there, almost sharing the planet with them but with that Niles chapter and now in 4, 5 and Tactics seem to say that the locust have only been alive for roughly 50-100ish years. And they do move very quickly but with how much we see in gears 2, it doesn’t connect very well
I mean, that hammer of dawn failure scene doesn't make any sense, you could say that the targetting could be off, but... Whats does that have to do the "trigger"? Shit went bad with the hammer only for narrative reasons, a huge convenience.
Lancer with a boom shot and gorgan pistol with a shield was always my setup for horde on gears 2.
U put the toaster easter egg in last video but not the ticker fight easter egg? 😢
How I slept on this video for 7 months is beyond me, but dang this makes good second-screen watching for the office!
imma be real the story telling was simply god awful from 3 to 4 (judgment was good story wise but still was filled with bs) from the previous og games the story was actually pretty realistic and straight forward because it was war themed on grand scales moving and taking out key objectives to weaken and destroy the locust or lambant ie through killing the worm taking out AA guns to taking out leaders in the factions or delivering intel, actual real war things you know like the name suggest gears of WAR, now its gears of mommy and daddy issues and concsious swapping. the game is now more of a soap opera sitcom than a game about war and the tolls of WAR like gears of WAR. idk why i have to emphasize this but apparently the devs dont get it so idk anymore. the only thing the new games have going is a pretty good character relationships between jd and marcus and the things like that but the main story telling is just sad. im also not criticizing the gameplay and visuals or even the swarm i think those aspects are generally pretty well done.
also DB's INCOMING
also the jd being a vilified character is so to make way for the girl bossing as kait and the minorities being the morally good and righteous ik it sounds like a leap but it really isnt as you see in last of us 2 which the devs hail neil as being so good at story telling while simultaneously driving it into the ground story wise since the first game had a primary writer seemingly gone from last of us 2 from 1. also its in every modern AAA game now in stories where everything has to be "diverse" and vilifying anyone that just wants good story telling and not racial pandering. the great thing about older games is that having a cole train was top tier character because of the actual character he has and personality. the entire personality of modern "diverse" people in games now is emotional blackmail of how oppressed and victims they are of being some sort of resistance or counter culture always being oppressed while simultaneously doing alot more evil things. shocker i know people want good story telling and universes to escape reality not implanting whatever social movement projections they want in games they have no business being in. the whole jd contention scene with the "protesters" was to literally slip that in and make him the big bad white guy and the morally righteous girl boss. (also not going to go into the whole women being able to fight with full blown locusts while simultaneously being able to lift marcus above their heads with ease)
Now thinking about it they could have done a romance between Kait and jd. Just like how they teased with Marcus and Anya they could have shown this relationship and how it bloomed. Kait could have been more than just royalty she could have been caring for those around her by showing that towards jd,del,people outside of the walls, etc. she could of been the opposite of her grandma instead of being evil she was good and could of possibly be the key for peace between the locust and humans. In the end they are the same.
Exactly! Even just that there, having Kait be a caring person (cause they show she cares somewhat for those outsiders in 4 before they all ☠️ lol) but then in 5 she kinda does act like she’s just on a mission. Sad how they just missed such an easy opportunity here
bro you did a fantastic job!
I remember getting GoW 3 with the metallic case and the Marcus figurine that came with a lancer. So dope
Oh wow i totally forgot about wingman. That was really fun if love to play an updated version one day
The queen is a baddie tho, she’s fine asf in gears 3
I watched the first 40 seconds and i can say straight away that you're wrong! Multiplayer is what made people leave the game. i had a community of 30 that we've played every gears game since 2006 and we all left within 6 months of the games release. Multiplayer is what keeps people hooked! The multiplayer was casualized beyond belief. Stupid rapid fire lancer with mortars LoLz crazy high damage shotgun with crazy range . Hella aim assist and adhesion that felt like everyone was a gnasher and longshot god! Not to mention the abysmal maps such as that crappy snow one and the terrible, terrible characters such as that skinny robot and not forgetting the commando knifing. The game was an absolute car crash out the gate and i have zero faith in eday . They'll probably end up putting cole train in a dress and Dominic with pronouns. Rip gears
I agree multiplayer is normally what keeps people hooked on a game, it’s why I stopped playing 5 lol I just couldn’t bring myself to play it as consistently as I did the others.
I really want to listen to your critique but the constant jump cuts make it painful to listen to, nothing to do with your arguements but I can't get through the video
This is your best vid yet. The pacing, the analysis, the commentary is all top notch. The character analysis was brilliant. Much love 💚
Thanks so much!
“To show its more than just a dude bro shooter” that’s the problem though, buddy. Gears of war trilogy is as incredible as it is because it’s a dude bro shooter. Those are its roots. Nerfing it into a story about women and motherhood does not fit. Gears is at its best when it has the testosterone that the original trilogy has.
My point was that it could be a dude bro shooter AND tell a matriarchal story at the same time. My problem with the game is somehow failing to do either. Trust me, I love the bravado the older games have and do feel like it’s not there as much anymore in 4 and 5. But that doesn’t mean it can’t exist alongside a good story about Kait and her lineage. TC couldn’t manage to do either one, that’s my problem.
I liked Gears 5 a lot more than 4 but neither come anywhere close to the OG trilogy for me. Very excited for E-Day tho
Played the matriarch boss fight with a friend and I can confirm the del isn’t effected by the visions
Do Ultimate edition please!
This shit is horrifying lol
Lol this game was soooo damn hard for me to 100% like i feeeel your pain. Endless hours of frustration 😂😂
That kait skin is awful bro omg
Lmao it was the only one I had and wanted to see something different in the cutscenes
God i fucking love an hour+ long video analysis/critique that actually analyzes the game instead of just recapping everything like a game manual
Very nice vid
You should do the halo series, similar to gears the first couple are amazing then there's been a real drop-off since bungie stopped making them. Keep up the good work!
Whoa, can you customize the characters gears 5 in campaign mission. What was that cutscene with del wearing a hat and kait with blue hair?
Yeah! Before starting up campaign you can go to the settings and toggle on using multiplayer skins. Those were skins I got from mp. I was replaying some parts for Del's ending and wanted to use different skins to see them in cutscenes
