I can't believe how good we had it. Between Rainbow Six Vegas, Gears, COD 1-4, Halo 1-3, Valve at its peak with HL2 and CSS and TF2 and L4D, WoW popping off, dozens of new masterpieces yearly all finished and full of content with no microtransactions. Amazing times.
I still remember playing the campaign back in the day on my Xbox 360 console. I used to be scared of this game because of the monster at the end of Act 1. It’s still a good thing I have my copy of the game disc because I am planning to reply the game to get the Hardcore and Insane campaign achievements.
@@alexrogers777 I disagree. Typically I’d agree that in most cases having more than one option is beneficial especially in video games as to not become boring, annoying, or redundant. Like NPC’s with the same 2-3 responses all game. BUT the headshot sound was so perfect it rose above that. Being you admitted it is the best, you by default know it is incapable of being better. So why change something or add to it, when all it would do is take away from what is already perfect? Nothing can be better than the best. By definition.
The first time I played Gears Of War I was really terrified at the Berserker part, and called two of my friends to help me to play through it. Then we played Gears 2 and Gears 3 together.
Gears of war 1 was a horror game in a lot of ways and that was lost in the future installments, even the ultimate edition phased out a lot of the horror.
@@bubbajoe117UE didn't phased out it pussyfied the attention-to-detail of the game. You dont see bone and organs protruding out of gibbed locust bodies. Plus the corpses littered throughout the game has been dumbed down like the hanging corpses at the prison.
@@EvilPhoenix007 You may prefer the original look, but I can't say I miss the early PS3/Xbox 360 era of gray/yellow filters with dull colors that plagued this era. I honestly think OG Gears was one of the worst offenders about this. You can depict a lifeless warzone while still giving it some color variety. They thankfully found a right balance with Gears 3.
All of them were except the newer ones. I Remembered playing Gears of War 3 when I was a kid and I cried seeing Dom sacrifice himself (bots are stupid)
Gears still has so much unrealized potential but it's had nothing but mid releases for over a decade that it's hard to remember it was THE hottest game of 2006 and had a cultural impact almost on the level of Halo in the late 00's.
For real man. The series is a sitting gold mine but the people in charge don't even know the potential. A Fenix Collection like Halo MCC would be so dope
it is a shame that after gears 2 the games just got more and more downgraded. gears 3 is still fantastic but the gore and destruction system were heavily nerfed and they kept nerfing it all the way to gears 4/5. i miss bodying people and being able to reasonably identify organs. in gears 3-4-5 everyone just explodes into chunks of red fruit. a lot of detail was lost in each release since 2008.
I will never forget my dad bringing home our first 360 with Gears of War to go with it. I was like 7-8 years old at the time and it took me days to get through the campaign on my own because the mission where you're stuck in the building with the Berserker terrified me to my core. Life was so much simpler back then lmfao.
Same lmao. My first two xbox 360 games were lego marvel and gears of war. I was 7 at the time. My dad played through the campaign with me and I remember being terrified of the beserker as well. But after rewatching this I remember it being MUCH taller haha.
Fun fact: the famous "Mad world" trailer was directed by Joseph Kosinski. The director of the starry night trailer for Halo 3, Tron legacy, oblivion, and top gun maverick.
The whole franchise (from 1-3) was an absolute masterpiece. Dom’s sacrifice with mad world playing in the background still makes me tear up and cry decades later. Fantastic game❤️
Gears 3 horde mode was fun. Halo 3 has one of the best atmospheres in gaming, combined with the beautiful soundtrack. Both hold up today and if you have Xbox game pass you can get them both for free :)
Gears of War has a special place in my heart. Memories of me and my sister going to our cousin's house and playing it on her Xbox 360. She was Fenix, and I was Santiago. I came up with our gamertags. We were around 9 and 12. We finally finish the campaign last year, lol.
When I was a kid, I remember my cousin and I being absolutely terrified by the enemy that can’t see but can hear you. We genuinely had to take a break cause we were too scared of it
My uncle showed me gears 3 12 years ago when I was only 7. Since that day, I played through all of them with him and it easily became my favorite game all time. Praying for the next one to come out 🙏🏼
@@aayushsharma8771 i like 4 & 5 now but they were busted on launch, especially 5. Took about 2-3 weeks for the servers to finally work properly and they made fan favorite characters that were always in the series cost $7 per skin, which was made worse by there being no content to unlock. TC also planned on releasing the game in 2020, but Microsoft forced them to release it early alongside gamepass, and it never really became a full packaged game until operation 4, which was a year after the game came out. Too many people had already left the game by the time it had content, which is very similar to what happened to halo infinite but at least infinite was free
I love this guys channel. I am a really busy guy and sometimes I need to fast forward through some of the videos or I just cone back and watch little sections at a time.
Nothing can beat the feeling of that good ol' chainsaw or grenade tag kill in the GOW series. GOW 3 will always be the king of XboxLive experiences for me
I was top 100 in the leaderboard numerous times, that’s how little of a life I had in 2006. I never got my “seriously” achievement despite being well over the threshold. I’m still upset about that to this day.
Glad to see you playing this Charlie. Will always be one of my favorite series of all time and it was cool to learn it’s kind of how you got your start as a content creator!
All i remember from playing gears on my uncles xbox was there was taht hand monster who was digging around underground and i loved playing it bc it was so badass to 5yo me
Gears is my favourite game series. I had soo much attachment to it based on it being my first multiplayer experience. Along with my dad and I doing the campaign together. It was one of the few times I actually felt connected with my father at the time. And I hold those memories dearly. I was 10 when it came out, and the imulsion factory used to give me nightmares cause the wretches there creeped me out lol
Man Gears of war unlocks core memories for me. Sitting in the basement the lingering stench of moisture/ mildew. The 24 inch cathode tube box TV with the composite cables. Constantly smacking the TV to get the screen to get static to clear up. Playing on my older brothers Xbox live account, those were the times man. "You never forget the first time you chainsaw a man in this game." True-er words have never been spoken. I still vividly remember it to this day.
I just finished playing through all 5 gears with my dad he first had me playing as dom back in 06’ and we just went back and wrapped up all the gears games. Love ya pops 🙏🏼
The series that got me into gaming I was co oping this with my father at age 4, also my older brother would always make me kill the berserker for him 😂
I grew up in this era. This was a pinnacle in my life you posting a gears video have a special place in my heart thank you this IP needs to be brought back
GOW was my shit dude. I played this so much... I even made some of the most popular glitch how-to videos back in the day for this game. I remember shotty/snipers on Canals and Gridlock. Id play that all day every day.
First The Act Man and now you Charlie. As I die hard Gears of War fan, thank you so much for making a video about this beautiful game. I have really good memories with my dad thanks to Gears of War, specially the first game. It was gorgeous! I've played all of the games and Gears of War will always be my favorite game franchise ever. The orginal trilogy speaks for itself. Just perfect! Gears of War 3 has a special place in my heart because it was the first ever game I played on online. It was my introduction to online multiplayer and it was a blast! I have an unpopular opinion and that is that I absolutely loved Judgement! It wasn't as fleshed out as the others but it was inovative in a lot of ways. You were able to use a Mauler Shield in one hand and any other weapon (excepting heavy weapons) on the other one, such as a Gnasher or Markza, you were able to select your favorite grenade and main weapon and the absolute best thing is that it introduced Free For All for the very first time in the franchise. The waiting was eternal but it was worth it. I have so many good memories playing FFA in Judgement. The distinct gameplay, alongside this gamemode was truly iconic. Then Gears of War 4 came out and it was insane too! I played a ton of multiplayer too but I want to shoutout horde in this game. It's design was very compelling and I completed the 50 waves so many times. Personally, the best horde experience I've ever had is in Gears of War 4. Insane! And last but not least, Gears 5. The most frenetic, polished and fun Gears to date in my opinion. Surprisingly, Gears 4 didn´t have Free For All, which was dissapointing but after I saw Gears 5 brougth it back, I was so so happy. A dream come true. I have to say it. Gears 5 Free For All mode with 14 players is the best multiplayer experience ever! A Masterpiece gamemode! If you have Game Pass or Gears 5, I really encourage you to play Free for all 14 players. The game has been out for several years now but I always come back to Gears 5 just to play FFA and I always have a ton of fun! Never get enough of it. It's truly unique and an experience worth having. Gears 5 is very underrated and deserves a lot better. There's have been other type of games in the franchise too, such as Gears Tactics and Gears POP (I played the hell out of it! It was amazing too. I miss you so much... R.I.P Gears POP). I know this video is dedicated to the original Gears of War but I just wanted to express my passion for this franchise and how much it means to me and hopefully many others. Once again Charlie, thank you so much for making this video. Seeing this video brings me a lot of nostalgia, specially playing it the way intended, as everyone else for the very first time. I'm pretty sure you encouraged a lot of veteran players to revisit the first games and hopefully brougth a lot of newcomers too. If you're new to the franchise, I really recommend you to give it a try. Gears 6, we're waiting for you. :')
You've inspired me. I'm going to get gears 1 and 2 again to complete my collection, bust out my red gears controller, and get back to it. These were great games man.
I played this game for the first time ALL the way with my dad in campaign as Dom (cuz achievements), and then again as Marcus by myself. I was absolutely in love with Halo, GoW, Original COD4MW, and L4D. This was the peak of shooter games, seriously.
I got my cousin into Gears of War because Dom kept jumping into the darkness and dying during those "don't go in the dark" missions and I needed a player 2 to stop him from doing that. Gears 2 horde mode has some of my favourite memories.
This made me so nostalgic…back in the day I was actually nasty with sniper battles on GOW. We all remember those blind fire/pop-shot battles on Canals!
I watched the first part of this stream a few nights ago and had to go back and play through the game again for the first time in Idk how long. Loved every second. Started the second this morning.
This will always be the golden era of online gaming for me. I’d remember coming home from school on a Friday and literally play Gears 1 with my friends online until 10am the next day. Fuck I miss those days
man I grew up on this , thanks for giving the earlier games the praise they deserve , dom sacrificing himself taught all I needed to know what a true man is 😖😭
I have thousands of hours on all gears games and 2 is without a doubt my overall favorite. Best campaign/multi-player maps and it still has that broken feel of the first one. I can't wait to watch you play through that one
I've played these games so much, it's so nostalgic to see this campaign again, I played through Gears 1-3 with my brother one Saturday all day, some of the best times of my life.
I own 3 physical copies of Gears of War 2. One just the standard case. One just the steel bookcase. And one of the whole boxset with the art book in French. I will continue to buy physical copies of it whenever I see it simply because it is byfar my most favorite game I have ever played. I love you, Gears of War 2. And as a side note. The Carmine family is my absolute favorite series of characters in any franchise whatsoever. Their story is one of the best in my opinion.
Probably the best time of my life was back during gears 2. My prime gaming experience was from WAW to around Bo2 (obviously includes gears 2 and 3). I remember having a blast playing gears 2 co op campaign and obviously multiplayer was a blast. The whole Xbox 360 experience can never be replicated.
i went to the midnight release for gears 3 and they had a gears 2 1v1 tournament. i was maybe 12 or 13? every one was alot older and i got 2nd place… lol i became a legend in that gamestop for the night. and i got a gift card to texas road house too. now i’m 22 years old and i have a lancer tattooed on my leg. i will always love gears. thanks charlie for your love of gears too.
to this day i will stay stand and died on the hill that the golden days of gaming was 2004 to 2014, all games series were at there best Grand Theft Auto halo original cod series gears of war mass effect batman arkham series portal bioshock half life series red dead elder scrolls far cry assassin creed fall out metal gear mafia star wars resident evil uncharted hitman saints row left 4 dead god of war battlefeld dragon age kindom hearts good sports games final fantasy starcraft zelda the fucking sims spinter cell metro infamous dark souls dead space witcher the last of us wolfenstein destiny so on and so forth, all of them were at their best and you cant denied it. im so glad i got to live though it
Oh my God, I literally just went to a retro store the other day and thought to myself you know what I wanna play the original gears of war 360 a few days later Charlie drops a banger like this on his channel. I’m glad the years are more fandom is still around.
I was 5 or 6 when My Dad brought home this game one day after work. He actually got the Collector's Edition off a friend in retail cause I guess his mom found out he had it & told him to get rid of it. Us & our other 2 brothers spent alot of time playing co-op together. My Dad is soo cool...
I use to wake up like 2 hours early for school just to play a couple matches against bots. It was gears of war 2, I would make all the weapon pick ups snipers and put the bots on the hardest difficulty. I was in like 4th grade at the time. Great times
Like most games in the ‘00s it suffered with tonal saturation in that it was a slight variation of grey, green, and brown, something we saw greatly changed in the sequels
I remember us playing GOW on Xbox 360 while we were in "Miami Soldi3r" on Halo 3's clan. You and Nate309 had Capture Cards and we filmed some weird glitches too. Even did a few fun Tactics in Battlefield. Always knew you'd be popular but wild to see you in Music Videos and Hunger Games
I remember those great times wall bouncing in multiplayer crab walking and blind firing across the map or shooting someone in the foot and you get a headshot as well as frag tagging headshot
Imagine there’s no gameplay and it’s just one and a half hours of Charlie explaining why the game is peak.

Gears 3: has the Best Multiplayer
The whole trilogy was massively ahead of its time
@RonnieMcFloyd. Gears 2 was so much fun.
I love 1 the best
"Gears 3 best multi-player" is an L, that's where it started going downhill in my opinion
Gears of war 2 horde mode is the best that’s the reason why years war two is the best because they added horde mode
arent there more games then the 3 how should i play the games if i wanna get into th series
I can't believe how good we had it. Between Rainbow Six Vegas, Gears, COD 1-4, Halo 1-3, Valve at its peak with HL2 and CSS and TF2 and L4D, WoW popping off, dozens of new masterpieces yearly all finished and full of content with no microtransactions. Amazing times.
My heart…
Xbox 360 arcade had soo many bangers too 😊
All of those games, except HL2 and L4D, had microtransactions, DLCs, Skins, Missions, etc.
everyone forgeting bioshock
Yep. Gamers of all ages could see it. The whole thing started to stink when Xbone came out and focused on TV not games.
The fact that this was the game that basically started Charlie's youtube career makes this even better. Look how far he's come
Kind of an outlier though. Lot of UA-camrs don’t have meteoric rises.
Our little man's all grown up! 🥲
Gears of War is awful. Final Fantasy III is easily the best game ever made.

It’s crazy how Microsoft straight up hasn’t had a good release for a gears or halo game since 2011
They went and spent tens of billions buying other ppl’s franchises instead …. 🤡
Gears 4 and 5 were pretty successful though? Both were pretty good, and imo 5 is the best in the series.
they got complacent, were afraid to change anything and the games got stale. And the things they did change for Halo just kinda sucked

Gears of war did one of those rare ‘we know exactly what you fuckers want’ moments and stuck a chainsaw to a machine gun
1:13:09 Hearing this music is so nostalgic, Gears of War 1 had such a great Soundtrack
The best part was the dialogue between the main 4 felt natural as hell. They all had chemistry and were believable as characters.

@@Indigoplateaus bro prolly think the hammer of dawn is a construction tool
been waiting for this vid since i saw you streaming it
I grew up in this era. This was a pinnacle in my life you posting a gears video have a special place in my heart thank you this IP needs to be brought back
So we have Charlie’s MeeMaw to thank for these years of beautiful content
GOW was my shit dude. I played this so much... I even made some of the most popular glitch how-to videos back in the day for this game. I remember shotty/snipers on Canals and Gridlock. Id play that all day every day.
56:35 Grenadiers in the first game often break and hit you twice with the same melee, insta killing you
First The Act Man and now you Charlie. As I die hard Gears of War fan, thank you so much for making a video about this beautiful game. I have really good memories with my dad thanks to Gears of War, specially the first game. It was gorgeous! I've played all of the games and Gears of War will always be my favorite game franchise ever.
The orginal trilogy speaks for itself. Just perfect! Gears of War 3 has a special place in my heart because it was the first ever game I played on online. It was my introduction to online multiplayer and it was a blast!
I have an unpopular opinion and that is that I absolutely loved Judgement! It wasn't as fleshed out as the others but it was inovative in a lot of ways. You were able to use a Mauler Shield in one hand and any other weapon (excepting heavy weapons) on the other one, such as a Gnasher or Markza, you were able to select your favorite grenade and main weapon and the absolute best thing is that it introduced Free For All for the very first time in the franchise. The waiting was eternal but it was worth it. I have so many good memories playing FFA in Judgement. The distinct gameplay, alongside this gamemode was truly iconic.
Then Gears of War 4 came out and it was insane too! I played a ton of multiplayer too but I want to shoutout horde in this game. It's design was very compelling and I completed the 50 waves so many times. Personally, the best horde experience I've ever had is in Gears of War 4. Insane!
And last but not least, Gears 5. The most frenetic, polished and fun Gears to date in my opinion. Surprisingly, Gears 4 didn´t have Free For All, which was dissapointing but after I saw Gears 5 brougth it back, I was so so happy. A dream come true. I have to say it. Gears 5 Free For All mode with 14 players is the best multiplayer experience ever! A Masterpiece gamemode! If you have Game Pass or Gears 5, I really encourage you to play Free for all 14 players. The game has been out for several years now but I always come back to Gears 5 just to play FFA and I always have a ton of fun! Never get enough of it. It's truly unique and an experience worth having. Gears 5 is very underrated and deserves a lot better.
There's have been other type of games in the franchise too, such as Gears Tactics and Gears POP (I played the hell out of it! It was amazing too. I miss you so much... R.I.P Gears POP).
I know this video is dedicated to the original Gears of War but I just wanted to express my passion for this franchise and how much it means to me and hopefully many others. Once again Charlie, thank you so much for making this video. Seeing this video brings me a lot of nostalgia, specially playing it the way intended, as everyone else for the very first time. I'm pretty sure you encouraged a lot of veteran players to revisit the first games and hopefully brougth a lot of newcomers too. If you're new to the franchise, I really recommend you to give it a try.
Gears 6, we're waiting for you. :')
you'll never know how i got the top comment
This is not how it works dawg 💀
@@somedumbchannel6838 trust the process
You've inspired me. I'm going to get gears 1 and 2 again to complete my collection, bust out my red gears controller, and get back to it. These were great games man.
I played this game for the first time ALL the way with my dad in campaign as Dom (cuz achievements), and then again as Marcus by myself.
I was absolutely in love with Halo, GoW, Original COD4MW, and L4D. This was the peak of shooter games, seriously.
First

I love how Ray Narvez Jr and andy cortez is playing this, now charlie. Guess its time for a GoW comeback!
That was a nice trip down memory lane, thanks for the upload. Be good to see Gears 2 & 3 as well if you’re thinking about it 👍
Will always appreciate the middle school bro for putting me on this beauty during the sleepovers, especially since I only had the PS 😂
I got my cousin into Gears of War because Dom kept jumping into the darkness and dying during those "don't go in the dark" missions and I needed a player 2 to stop him from doing that. Gears 2 horde mode has some of my favourite memories.
This made me so nostalgic…back in the day I was actually nasty with sniper battles on GOW. We all remember those blind fire/pop-shot battles on Canals!
Grars 2 was when one of my favorite characters was introduced, being dizzy. Absolutely love that old guy and his bettie
I watched the first part of this stream a few nights ago and had to go back and play through the game again for the first time in Idk how long. Loved every second. Started the second this morning.
Just started playing the original a few days ago, and this video pops up, crazy how well it holds up and looks
Played through it not so long ago, never played it back in the day but I did play Gears of War 2 a lot and I'm currently replaying that.
I miss classic Gears. I was a massive fan and it makes me happy to see Charlie giving it some love. The fandom has been dead as of late.
As a long time Gears player, it does my heart good to see this
Bro I just started replaying these a couple weeks ago I’m on gears 3 now. Good video
This will always be the golden era of online gaming for me. I’d remember coming home from school on a Friday and literally play Gears 1 with my friends online until 10am the next day. Fuck I miss those days
man I grew up on this , thanks for giving the earlier games the praise they deserve , dom sacrificing himself taught all I needed to know what a true man is 😖😭
I have thousands of hours on all gears games and 2 is without a doubt my overall favorite. Best campaign/multi-player maps and it still has that broken feel of the first one. I can't wait to watch you play through that one
I've played these games so much, it's so nostalgic to see this campaign again, I played through Gears 1-3 with my brother one Saturday all day, some of the best times of my life.
Oh man I remember split screening these games with my buddy Johnny when i was a kid. That classic gears music guves me waves of nostalgia.
you moist are a genuine and true prophet to most.
As another OG Gears fan, this video got me really excited lol
Best trilogy for me personally, that era of gaming was special. Gears truly was ahead of its time
I own 3 physical copies of Gears of War 2. One just the standard case. One just the steel bookcase. And one of the whole boxset with the art book in French. I will continue to buy physical copies of it whenever I see it simply because it is byfar my most favorite game I have ever played. I love you, Gears of War 2. And as a side note. The Carmine family is my absolute favorite series of characters in any franchise whatsoever. Their story is one of the best in my opinion.
Probably the best time of my life was back during gears 2.
My prime gaming experience was from WAW to around Bo2 (obviously includes gears 2 and 3). I remember having a blast playing gears 2 co op campaign and obviously multiplayer was a blast. The whole Xbox 360 experience can never be replicated.
i went to the midnight release for gears 3 and they had a gears 2 1v1 tournament. i was maybe 12 or 13? every one was alot older and i got 2nd place… lol i became a legend in that gamestop for the night. and i got a gift card to texas road house too. now i’m 22 years old and i have a lancer tattooed on my leg. i will always love gears. thanks charlie for your love of gears too.

This is my game with my dad. Thanks for playing it again man
It’s so wholesome reading about people’s experiences with this game in the comments, tears in my eyes man what a game
unlocking the Insane Achievement was the biggest grind I ever did back in 2006-2007.
Did u get the Insane Campaign gamer pic and the Seriously game pic?
Nizmojo is a name i havent seen in so long. Dude was crazy good at sniping.
Everyone's favorite protagonist John Gears
Oh my God, I literally just went to a retro store the other day and thought to myself you know what I wanna play the original gears of war 360 a few days later Charlie drops a banger like this on his channel. I’m glad the years are more fandom is still around.
just went through all 5 titles - finished the last one yesterday :D cannot wait for the 6th
love the vids keep it up thanks for being you
Gears was my first thriller/horror game, still holds a special place in
love the video's bro keep up the good work!
Don't translate...
भवतः हृदयस्य धड़कनं कतिपयेषु घण्टेषु स्थगयिष्यति, अस्य शापस्य मुक्तिं प्राप्तुं एकमात्रं मार्गं मम चैनलस्य सदस्यतां कुर्वन्तु
I was 5 or 6 when My Dad brought home this game one day after work. He actually got the Collector's Edition off a friend in retail cause I guess his mom found out he had it & told him to get rid of it. Us & our other 2 brothers spent alot of time playing co-op together.
My Dad is soo cool...
I use to wake up like 2 hours early for school just to play a couple matches against bots. It was gears of war 2, I would make all the weapon pick ups snipers and put the bots on the hardest difficulty. I was in like 4th grade at the time. Great times
Like most games in the ‘00s it suffered with tonal saturation in that it was a slight variation of grey, green, and brown, something we saw greatly changed in the sequels
Ahh wall bouncing.. felt soo good👌🏾☺️
The first mission when your in the dark was insane I fucking loved that
I remember us playing GOW on Xbox 360 while we were in "Miami Soldi3r" on Halo 3's clan. You and Nate309 had Capture Cards and we filmed some weird glitches too. Even did a few fun Tactics in Battlefield. Always knew you'd be popular but wild to see you in Music Videos and Hunger Games
I have to comment again because of the greatness this game was im only 3 minutes in and you mention the kung fu flip is wild the memories..
this game coupled with slipknot self titled and iowa was elite gaming sessions in my teen years
I remember those great times wall bouncing in multiplayer crab walking and blind firing across the map or shooting someone in the foot and you get a headshot as well as frag tagging headshot
Always and forever will be a gears fan
memories of playing ranked guardian all day are coming back
its come full circle for charlie
