    Hopefully this will be my final pin for this video (unless we get a Gears 2 remake) but anyway yeah, 4K version is here.
    I've also linked it with a card but not everyone presses them so thought I'd pin it too. Enjoy fellow Gears. Now click the link and bring back the hope of humanity!

Not to say I haven’t had fun playing the newer ones, we just don’t get speeches like this one sadly.

It was by Vics leadership that the COG was able to hold Jacinto for as long as it did. Vic's command that was able to protect what little was left of humanity on vectes and Anvil gate.

    After more than a decade since this came out I've only just noticed the quick foreshadowing of Maria's death. At 1:52 when Dom pulls out the picture of himself and Maria prescott says "Soon we'll have nothing left to defend" could be a tragic coincidence but it's timed so perfectly.
    After Maria's death Dom didn't care about fighting or living anymore since he had nothing left to defend/live for. Thus, Gears 3...

    People are way too hard on Gears 2. Epic really upped the drama, storytelling and even the soundtrack for this game, its incredible. This scene and especially the scene where Marcus tells Dom everything will be okay after he finds Maria show this series is more than a mindless bro shooter. Seriously go and watch that scene with Maria, when Marcus tells Dom its okay just look at the compassion in his eyes, one of my favorite moments from last gen!

      Phracattack I think for how much shit the gears games get for the writing. I thought that it oozed style and substance that some games cant effeciently communicate. The cinematography, music and characters makes the game stronger for it.
      This speech gets the gamer excited for what will happen. It served exposition of the current state of things, set the stakes, and show the Gears ready to be on the offensive on such a scale. I love this scene.

He emphasized humanity”s history of fighting for different reasons, he highlighted the ongoing desperate situation they are facing, he was brutally honest about the new threat and the challenge they have to overcome, he then gave them a reason why they need to face the new challenge and then firmly stated that they will defeat it. And for a nice touch he finished by pleading with them to go forth and bring back humanity”s hope for a brighter future.

    Humans are no strangers to depression . After all, we've been fighting for as long as we can remember. Depression is all we know. In the past, we fought for are hope. We fought for country. We fought for freedom. But all that changed after E-Day. For fifteen years, we've been fighting for our very survival against inhuman, genocidal anxiety. But it is a fight we cannot continue. Humanity faces extinction, unless we end this war now. We had hoped that drugs,alcohol bombing would decimate the depression&anxiety . But they survived. And have returned, stronger than ever. They've brought with them a force that can sink entire cities. Even the Heart , our last beacon of hope through all these dark days, is now at risk. Soon we'll have nothing left to defend. And that means we have only one option: attack. Gears, what I ask of you now is not an easy thing, but it is necessary. If we are to survive. If we are to live long enough to see the seasons change, our children grow and experience a time of peace that we have never known, then we must now take this fight to the Depression,Anxiety! We will go to where they live and where they breed and we will destroy them! This is the day we take the battle to the heart of the enemy. This is the day that we correct the course of human history! This is the day that we ensure our survival as a species! Soldiers of the COG, my fellow Gears, go forth and bring back the hope of humanity!

    These aspects are what made games back in the day, a sense of honor, duty and purpose you are the badass who will save the world at any cost but you are also human and that cost will take its toll one way or another. See most games lack this entirely today now games are either microtransactions or hard-core current politics (particularly one side but hey if the shoe fits) I see promise on the horizon with halo infinite a little hope in these dark times and gears tactics while its a different style of game story wise was pretty good but we need that locker room shit talking back in gaming it was part of why it felt real today's games play it so safe to cater to either Twitter or children honestly, I can't tell the difference between the two.
