Gears of War is such an amazing franchise up there with Halo, and I feel it's truly underrated fir its accomplishments and how it changed not only Xbox but also other games too.
Man, I loved these games. They actually helped me conquer some of my anxiety when I was younger. Having the power to fight back a monster army, even a digital one, showed me that I can plant my feet and fight against fear. I know that sounds cringy and cheesy, but it's true
Truly tragic they never made any more games after the trilogy but they would have fucked it up imagine if they made you play as boring characters that no one likes
@@roboticfish317 That’s how is feel mate. Got the XBox One for 4. Yeah it was okay but it’s done ain’t it. “Never thought it would like this..... huh Maria!” Magic moments in gaming history bro
Judgment, like Arkham Origins, is very underrated. The declassified difficulty option was unique and, combined with the Baird centric storyline (my favorite character), is what truly made the game for me.
I started playing Gear 1 at the age of 4-5. I’m so glad I was able to grow along with the release of further games in the series. Although I don’t think the changes past Gears 3 are bad, they just aren’t for me. But 1-3 and Judgement are solid games that will forever live on with me 🏆
@@FuNati I don't need particularly good actors for a Gears movie. Decent will do. I think them physically embodying the character is more important. Once again, I'm just talking about Gears. Pair that with a good script, and I'm in.
You totally missed the whole ""chainsawdomy" thing. Before gears 2 was going to be released, if you were to use the lancer from behind someone, your character would put the chainsaw right up the enemy's ass and cut up towards the head. The ESRB claimed this was too far, and if they didn't remove it the game would get an AO rating. It got changed to cutting from the hip to the opposite shoulder to keep an M rating.
Honestly I don't really see why the would make a difference. AO is 18+ and mature is 17+. And let's be honest, just cuz a game is given an age rating doesn't mean kids won't be playing it. I mean, I was playing halo at ten, gears of War at 12, and call of duty at 14.
Gears and Halo were my first Xbox games when I got my 360. During high school me and my friends would go to the movies and then come back to my house and play 1 on 1 in Halo.
You're right about gears originally being an unreal tournament game but the concept was wrong. It wasn't a massive multiplayer game with horn mode it was originally it going to be a carmageddon-esque game based in the unreal series, yet they cancelled it. Hence why it is called Gears of War even though nothing vehicular almost has nothing to do with the series. And because of gears of War we haven't seen another unreal tournament game in years.
Since when was Tim Sweeney the founder of Xbox!? It even says in the clip he's the founder of Epic Games. Also, the Lancer is an assault rifle, not a machine gun. Batista is playable in the Gears 5 campaign now, via NG+. Killer Instinct 2? It's just Killer Instinct. If it was a numerical sequel, it would have been KI3.
Here's another fact. The character voiced by Michael B. Jordan in GOW 3 was supposed to be played by Drake. Also the Carmines were supposed to be a reference to the Ryan Brothers in Saving Private Ryan.
I always thought of Gears of War as what happens when MK meets CoD. Great story and lots of gore like MK. Brothers in arms, war and tragedy like CoD. And lots of expanded lore like in both.
Oh. I thought this was more of a lore video. Bc I'm a huge fan of gears and I could answer any questions u throw at me. I still play gears even if the franchise rn isn't the same anymore.
I got the subtitles on sometimes to watch my videos if I can’t listen too loud. And sometimes when you say gears of war the subtitle will say geez of war, keys of war or my favorite geese of war😂😂😂
So a couple of these “facts” are incorrect I believe, specifically the romance between Marcus and Anya. In the first and third book they delve a little bit into their relationship. In the first book Marcus and Carlos Santiago enlist in the cog and meet Anya stroud who is basically described as a forbidden fruit bc of Anya’s Mother’s high position within the cog army, basically star crossed lovers. Marcus and Anya develop non-romantic relation with Anya, who both ironically have feelings for each other. After his Court-martial Anya and Don sent him letter weekly. Unless they actively retro actively changed the story.....again......
@5:20 Ice-T didn't do his own voice in Rick and Morty. That was actually co-creator Dan Harmon. Also, every time you said "Carmine", I couldn't help but think "Not Yours". lol, it's a Car Talk joke.
No it wasn't it made sense we got to see the development of him and Mariah now that its over it seems perfect that there's only 1 thing for him to do left and saved his best friend doing it
l never played any GoW for more than an hour, l dont know...Something just drive me off.Maybe its the bulky "hulk" look of the entirely of the rooster. Or maybe the general 'murican story writing. l dont know
I remember voting for clay to survive. I am proud to say that.
I wish I had my old account and avatar clothes I’d wear that shirt still to this day if I could
Yes
I think that benjamin should have survived to become clay in gears 3 (you know what i mean)
Altough , i would have voted for clay to survive too
Gears of War is such an amazing franchise up there with Halo, and I feel it's truly underrated fir its accomplishments and how it changed not only Xbox but also other games too.
I know it wasn't the first, but Gears of War 2's Horde mode definitely brought the co-op wave survival game mode to the forefront.
@@micah4029 True, I mean the CoD Zombies mode came out after Gears of War 2.
An Iconic series but i don't think any game from Xbox can par with Halo.
Gears 1-3 are some of the best games i have ever played. Brings back sp many good memories. So many late nights lol.
=)
It was awesome, is 5 any good? I switched too PlayStation haha
@@T.W.K.1993 I consider Gears 5 the second best Gears of War

Yeah, I love «Geez of Woh» too! :)
Lmao I was gonna say that
Why did you have to say this? Now it's all I can hear
Gears 1
Broke the mould & was the clan starting monster of console games.
Gears 2
Horde took over for about 3 years.
Gears 3
Ended the story
The end
Yes.

@@VinylSamuraisMusic I agree on Gears 4, but Gears 5 is excellent, it has many epic scenes and charismatic characters.
Haha
Gears 1, 2, 3, 5 and Judgement are on my list of favorite games of all time!
Judgment, like Arkham Origins, is very underrated. The declassified difficulty option was unique and, combined with the Baird centric storyline (my favorite character), is what truly made the game for me.
What about Gears 4?
@@marklee1194 Meh
4 definitely comes before 5 and Judgement for me. No doubt.

If a live-action Gears project isn't mostly filled by bulky, professional athletes (male and female), the casting will feel off.
No. I’d rather have real good actors on it.
@@FuNati I don't need particularly good actors for a Gears movie. Decent will do. I think them physically embodying the character is more important. Once again, I'm just talking about Gears. Pair that with a good script, and I'm in.
Who’s still waiting for that Gears movie? 🙋🏻♀️

Gears 1 brought me to the HD era. I play on Sony consoles today, but the original Gears trilogy are some of my favorite games of all time.
Gears trilogy is still my favourite shooter of all time.
Like Halo The original trilogy of Halo and Gears arr God
The board game is good too. Glad to hear it helped shape Tactics which is another good entry for Gears.
Legit my favourite game series of all time, and Jet Set Radio is a very very close second
I’ve played just every single one except the first one
That was the best 1. Still jam on the PC with it now n then
Why? Go play 1!
i still believe Gears should have ended in 3.
Gears of war was my first Xbox 360 title in 2006. I still love it
The main reason I bought a 360! I still own 1-3 & judgment
TECHNICALLY, there was a Carmine in Gears of War: Judgment: Kilo Squad: The Survivor's Log. Fredo Carmine.
Gears of war. A game full of ferocity on steroids. You’ll wanna break a glass heineken bottle over a strangers face after playing this

Ok first sec I understood Geese of War ^^'
A year later we are getting a live action movie and an animated series. I really want to see the pendulum wars and the locust war obviously.
Just to nit pick Ice T appears as a character in Rick and Morty but it isn't his voice.
Gears of War, was the reason for me to buy a Xbox 360. Great franchise :)
My sons 1 and I named him marcus after these games :) and my daughter is 5 and shes called clementine from the Telltale series❤️❤️
That really cool. I plan on naming my daughter after clementine too so it's nice to see this
@@coletrainhetrick haha awesome , I gotta stop having kids cause there's no names as awesome as these two lol 😂
Gears 3 was my first gears game. What a fucking ride.
Since when was Tim Sweeney the founder of Xbox!? It even says in the clip he's the founder of Epic Games.
Also, the Lancer is an assault rifle, not a machine gun.
Batista is playable in the Gears 5 campaign now, via NG+.
Killer Instinct 2? It's just Killer Instinct. If it was a numerical sequel, it would have been KI3.
I'm just here to point out that Ice T was not on Rick & Morty. Dan Harmon played Water T. But Ice T seemed to appreciate it... mostly...
Here's another fact. The character voiced by Michael B. Jordan in GOW 3 was supposed to be played by Drake.
Also the Carmines were supposed to be a reference to the Ryan Brothers in Saving Private Ryan.
Drake?
@@funkyreapercat5280 Yes.
Drake.
@@JRock424 Who is Drake?
gears 3, throw a smoke grenade and stand in the middle with the chainsaw going lol
1:03 whoever plays like this is down bad
does anyone have a problem with fortifications downgrading after they max them? mine keep losing the max level randomly

Why can’t it just be a jules video😔
Probably because Jules is pissed at gears. As am I lol. It lost its touch after 3
2:18 In the name of the wot?
How was this video not written and presented by Ben-Roy??
I'm so glad this didn't become another unreal tournament
Man I miss the Locust so much
I love gears of war 1 and 2 and 3
Huge men with huge guns fight huge monsters for huge enjoyment.
I got the subtitles on sometimes to watch my videos if I can’t listen too loud. And sometimes when you say gears of war the subtitle will say geez of war, keys of war or my favorite geese of war😂😂😂
I saw it too and the first thing I thought of when it said geese was a whole flock of geese with lancers just annihilating people from above
Even the subtitles say 'Geez of war'. Love you Josh, but speak english
Jeez of war
Jeez of war
There were an ad on g4tv for camine choice live or die too
I knew all these facts... What now?
Should've called this video 20 things I already knew about G.O.W
My father was in Judgment
Really?
@@funkyreapercat5280 Yes, he did the motion capture for characters in the cutscenes, and was the designer for Loomis

Note: only gears crossovers. Not crossovers INTO gears (besides terminator) which i thought was corny but w/e just my opinion
Ice T DID NOT play himself in Rick and Morty.... LOL!!!!
Anya and Marcus was an obvious previous relationship imo
What about the simple fact of epic games leaving because honestly that's when everything fucked up
They were done with it I guess
@5:20 Ice-T didn't do his own voice in Rick and Morty. That was actually co-creator Dan Harmon. Also, every time you said "Carmine", I couldn't help but think "Not Yours". lol, it's a Car Talk joke.
Yes I did
Geese of War
I just found out that the female locusts are stronger than the male locusts
The Berserkers? Lol
I just want to know who’s idea was it to kill Dom
Bill gates
Dom dying was so stupid
No it wasn't it made sense we got to see the development of him and Mariah now that its over it seems perfect that there's only 1 thing for him to do left and saved his best friend doing it
C carmine still alive
Originally there was an option for Dom change to a female character but, Epic decided against it because Dom having a wife was too hot. ;)
Hey
Just imagine how crazy a crossover between Gears of War, Metal Gear and God of War would be
Metal war gears of the gods
Don't wanna be a cock but that sounds awfully ridiculous
Gears like my baby. Should have ended with GOW3 period
Geese of woh xD
#1 i didnt know it was a video game
Oooh
#1. Marcus Fenix is designed from Fred Durst.
No one else thinks its weird that Marcus is also the voice of Jake the Dog?
....why wasn't that in the list
Also Bender from Futurama!
Gears 2
Gears 1
Gears 3
Gears ultimate edition
Gears 4
Gears judgment
Gears 5
Gears tactics in that order
You really didn't have to include UE. Also, why the hate for Tactics? My placement would be similar otherwise.
Gears remaster for PC and xbox series X when??????
There's already the Ultimate Edition of the first one.
Ice T did not voice himself in Rick and Morty.
Dan Harmon provides the voice for Water T/ Ice T.
Do the research whatculture.
Dan Harmon did that voice... a quick look up on IMDB...
@@patmooney1407 But of course.
Let me fix that.
Major spoiler•
Carmine living is what got Dom killed in the 3rd game
I hope 1-3 come to pc like halo did
We can all hope
As a writer, I wouldn't want to play gow 3 either...
l never played any GoW for more than an hour, l dont know...Something just drive me off.Maybe its the bulky "hulk" look of the entirely of the rooster. Or maybe the general 'murican story writing. l dont know
Everything after Gears of War:Jugement was trash
So basically Gears Of War 4 and 5
@@calebbetz8026 yes. 1-3 only
Yeah but he's including Judgement in there, too. I actually didn't mind 4 but I really didn't like Judgement or 5
Playstation fan boys- Gears Of War is trash
Naughty Dog- Gears Of War inspired the game play for Uncharted
Playstation fan boys- Gears is still trash!
I'm a PlayStation guy n I think that game is friggin awesome. Still play it today
21. It sucks
I love how people act like the stories in these games are actually good.
I wish Kim was an Asian woman. Thats all this game is missing
Almost first
Still sad tho
Third
First
