Playing the first GOW was literally the last time I was truly happy
Gears 2 was peak life
For real. When I was young, my friends and siblings would play pretend GOW with whatever looks like a gun and sprint like GOW lol
First game is still active everyday. Just go on and search for player matches
Bruh, gears 2 was the shittiest of then all. If you’re a real Gears OG 1/UE is the best Gears. I have never ever had this much fun with any game since 1/UE. I could play for 6, 7, 8 hours straight for months. The rumours of a Gears collection made me as happy as a kid on Christmas morning. Cant fucking wait to play 1/UE mp again!
Then you fucked up in life of the last time you was happy was playing a video game
I missed the old Gore details from the original gears of war trilogy. You shot a grub in the face you could see its eyeball and lower jawbone, also piece of its skull and brain all on the floor. But you do that and gears a war 4 or 5 and you just see chunks of meat no skull no eyeballs and if you chainsaw somebody and they’re just literally a meat person. There’s no heart, lungs, ribs, intestines, or stomach none of that and it’s depressing.
Yup, they really tone down the violence in Gears 4 and Gears 5. My personal favourite was Gears 2. That game was masculine AF. The armour was awesome, the weapons were on-point, the whole atmosphere was testosterone drenched and super gritty. While it lacked the horror vibes of Gears 1, Gears 2 was a perfectly paced sequel with some good heart-wrenching moments.
Don't forget how the characters in Gears 5 are so in touch with their emotions. They rub each other's backs and mope about their feelings.
Sounds so funny to me to say the lack of intestines and hearts and eyeballs litering the ground is depressing. I agree but it just sounds backwards
Yeah if you chainsaw someone in half it looks like meatloaf now. Altough i love the blood that can spill over your character
This is the direct result of microsoft's DEI "gaming is for everyone" philosophy. Tone it down and make it politically correct. Make it mainstream and lame
As long as I'm still living Gears ain't dead
You and me both!
Not really. Gears is pretty much dead. Gears 5 just killed the franchise.
And halo is heading the same way.
343 industries doesn't know what they are doing. They've done improvements to halo infinite but that game barely has players.
Gears of War has been dead for years now and no sign of it coming back.
@@superrunnerx1 The last GoW game was Epic basically saying “As long as we have control over the Fortnite community, we will do whatever we want”
@@uria3679Not Epic, The Coalition took over after Gears 3 (with former Epic devs).
@@uria3679 bro Epic don’t make Gears anymore what are you on about 😂
Kate on Gears 5 was really anoying.
Very
Aren't t most modern female protags?
@lindinle lol what are you talking about
You misspelled all
He is talking about how all of them are trash and boring
Marcus fenix collection would save my mental fr
Just not that name tho, that sounds terrible lol
@@JonathanTacoman Yeah the name blows. Should call it something like the "Locust War Trilogy" that's way better sounding and fits with the whole setting of Gears of War 1, 2, 3 & Judgement.
Shame that Microsoft won't release it because they seem to hate money. Sony is releasing all of their greatest games on PC/Steam right now with Ghost of Tsushima being the next in line, Microsoft is really dumb, imagine the popularity and money they could make with a Gears of War 1-J Remaster/PC Port. But nah please make another $40 cosmetic pack for Halo Infinite please.
That’s all I want man. And I don’t get why these guys are saying the name sucks when Marcus Fenix is literally the main character in the first three games… lol we are in desperate need of a Gears of War: Marcus Fenix Collection. And hopefully on the new unreal engine 5!🙏🏼
This is how down bad gamers are lmfao. They want their favorite games to be resold to them for full price every 10 yrs instead of something new and improved. Pathetic.
The fact that I can still remember Epic games affiliated with Gears Of War instead of Fortnite speaks volumes of how this game was beloved to me.
It's sad how Microsoft had to buy out the IP without the Devs who started the fame. Otherwise we would've had a way different Gears 4+5
I dont think Epic was interested in Gears 4+5, likely would have outsourced it to someone else if at all.
Yeah epic sold out when they did fortnite
It astounds me that the original trilogy is still not on PC. I never got to play it as a kid because I was more dedicated to Halo.
Rumors say a remaster of the original trilogy is coming. Basically the Gears version of the Halo: Master Chief Collection.
Gears 1 is on PC, it’s not populated anymore
@@matthewk4912 how valid are these rumors tho :/ feel like I've been hearing about a Gears collection for years now
You can play gears with game pass on pc
@@redemption9938 Not Gears 1, 2, or 3 natively. You know, the ones that matter.
Gears of War wouldn't be nearly as dead if they treated the franchise like Halo last console gen and gave us a Marcus Phoenix Collection or something equivalent to Halo MCC. All the Gears games are on Xbox, but only 1, 4, and 5 are on PC. Would love to be able to play Gears 2, and 3 on PC natively without needing emulation.
I mean being a Halo fan myself, Halo isn't doing too hot from my perspective. I just want Gears of War to hit that same feeling the first 3 games did. Gears 3 was particularly my favorite.
They could've at least released PC Gears of War editions on steam. Instead they're in their crappy MS store.
@@3N1StaticGaming regardless, the games should be more accessible especially to PC users. If you want to play Halo 2 matchmaking you can easily do so. Gears 2 and 3 need the same accessibility, and not that garbage cloud streaming service Xbox has.
@@SpecialNeedsMuffin that’s probably more of a Coalition than Microsoft since MS seems to be transforming into a publisher rather than staying a console brand. Phil been saying some interesting things lately. If the rumors are true it’ll be not only Coalition benefit to do so but also MS to do so.
Lmfao Halo is dead, too.
That bit about Mexicans living GoW is facts. All of my cousins and friends were die hard GoW/Halo players. One of my best friends and I are still playing both
yeah that's true, a lot of mexicans near my age, like from 24-32 love gears and halo
Halo is awful.
No shut up.
@@JohnDoe-pu5gkbro are you 12
@Vahig7 Nah but I think you are for liking gaylo.
Gears 3 will forever hold a place in my heart for that amazing multiplayer, great story. And underrated horde mode. Along with all the fire characters and gameplay.
And a good ending with the locust war being over.
Facts to me Gears 3 is the best of them all
Three words: Sweet Baby Inc.
If your favorite franchise isn't your favorite anymore, chances are this company is the reason why.
It died when the coalition took over
Absolute terrible development team! Gears 4 and 5 are an embarrassment to the whole franchise. And Gears 6 is going to be utter garbage, too.
Nah because ultimate edition was fire bro
@@Terrince_Tatebut ultimate was fire n tactics
@XXAnthonyCarmineXx That's why all I want is a Marcus Fenix Collection, with judgment along with it. Other than that, the Coalition has proven to be a terribly woke dev team.
gears 5 buried the franchise
Truth.
How?
Just like Halo 3, after Gears 3 they should have let the franchise rest
Tbh, Halo Reach was still worth it...but after that, Yeah they should have let it rest
its amazing that an actual competent videogame company making a game they didnt even wanna fucking make knocked it out of the park x2 in a row with ODST and reach, proving a completely transactional and contract bound approach with a modicum of respect for the IP can be extremely profitable. Everything afterwards has been an endless stream of failure and it's so suffocating.@@Javasboi
Reach x2
“A respectful death” until “There’s money on the line!”
@@christopherjones5700Yup, plus ODST has one of the best soundtracks in all of gaming. Marty was absolutely on pinpoint perfection with that score. Every single song is a masterpiece; but then again, every single level is a masterpiece in ODST, too. Bungie was putting passion into that money project like nobody's business.
I’m still hoping for a gears of war collection like how halo got a master chief collection. I’m surprised it hasn’t happened yet since I feel gears of war is fairly popular to warrant one
Nothing will top old school Gears of War.
Not old school. REAL Gears of War*
Umm how about because they made a chick the face of the dudest franchise ever and made it super soft?
Not just the face, but the whole story revolved around her and it was absolutely insufferable. Like, WHO CARES about her stupid problems? What happened to fighting a near-hopeless war with your battle-hardened friends?
I see a female protag and i just cant be asked to bother.
Literally hit the nail on the head there, no need to beat around the bush
@@rh4797. SO i dropped gears 5 and only got to when you had to swap over to kate.
They tried so hard to make JD the bad guy but wtf else were his options? It's war, people die all the time. Kate and the other guy actually go rogue... like huh????? Fck whoever wrote gears 5
@@jaimeruiz7837 yep very very poor from them
gear of war the collection would hit so hard in my heart, I NEED IT NOW.
It basically exists. Gears Ultimate, 2, 3, 4, & 5 run at 4k 60fps on X/S. OG Gears & Judgment are only 60fps with their original resolutions.
@@joeyfeeny8814 who said anything about xbox 😅
Please study the downfall of COD😭🙏🏽
SBMM would be a good thing to look at when studying this.
We are witnessing it in real time
That is going to be quite the video. So much to cover. You'd likely be best to split it into multiple videos.
The downfall of the old formula, sure that’d be interesting. But cod hasn’t had a downfall like Halo or Gears have. Still number 1 and has been since 2009
@@SoNoizzE translation: i love to stomp but i dont like to get stomped and pair with actual equal lobby
The locust were cool because, they're literally Monsters that were JACKED AS FK.
Really hope this series makes a comeback at some point.
Fr. I never grew up playing gears only player 5 online. But its the most unique shooter we had. Its just so perfect
It’s INSANE just how many parallels you can make between The Coalition and 343 when it comes to how both fumbled the IPs they inherited. Wouldn’t be shocked if it turned out that just like 343 The Coalition shot down numerous spinoffs that could’ve revitalized the franchise (we know from ex-343 devs that a game VERY similar to HellDivers 2 was pitched and shot down by Microsoft execs and 343’s heads). This is a level of incompetence that is only matched by Sony when it comes to making movies (if you look up any worst movies list you’re bound to find a few Sony films on the list. Emoji Movie, Madame Web, Morbius, and a Slenderman movie made however many years after the creepypasta was no longer relevant come to mind😂). I’m sure the Netflix animated show and live action movie won’t be good. They’ll probably better than the Halo show, but that’s not exactly a high bar to clear.
Tbf the original developers were also falling to the wayside before their departure, as seen by Judgement and Reach.
That certainly is true. The decline of both franchises sadly would’ve been inevitable if their original creators were still in charge. Modern Bungie is currently giving 343 a run for their money when it comes to being the most incompetent out of touch company. Epic games now just milks Fortnite, and their Steam competitor is a train wreck. Not sure what’s going on with People Can Fly since I haven’t cared enough to look into it.
@@matro2Reach was goated TF you mean lol
@@matro2Reach was a great game, unlike Judgement.
Besides, Judgement was developed by People can Fly, Epic already left the series at that point.
Well Epic assisted, but I think they had a 3-game contract with M$, and didn't do much.
@@matro2reach had problems for sure but it was still a good game
It lost its brutal edge, half horror half action vibes of gears 1 and the desperation of gears 2
As most new things are just shit I wouldn’t mind a remaster of 2 and 3
Man you nailed it. Gears 1 is the only action-horror game of its kind, and Gears 2 is an outright masterpiece from start to finish.I didn't care much for Gears 3 and you could tell Epic was getting tired, plus some parts were poorly optimised on the Xbox 360 and crashed (especially some of the larger boss battles near the end of the game), but it still had a few cool features like the mechs.
Having to play as Kate Diaz Jesus Christ that was a chore
We now know Gears 5 suffered the same plague of a lot of modern games, namely "help" in writing from Sweet Baby Inc. Explains a lot. But Gears: Tactics was actually a lot of fun, and gives me hope that future spin-off titles by devs who love the IP could bring back the magic. There's a lot of creativity outside of big studios, like Palworld and Helldivers, and they're just waiting for a chance to show what they can do.
Only complaint with gears tactics is the repetitiveness at the end of the game with no new game + mode and the story with Ukon using Imulsion despite the locust fighting the lambent other than that solid game and characters
I loved tactics !!
What I don’t understand is why not make prequels instead of sequel
Exactly there’s so much potential with most of the locust war being untouched
Laziness
Because studios always feel like they have to go forward, despite at times never knowing WHERE to go forward, which is usually how franchises die.
👀
Yeah I mean look at Star Wars they made the prequel trilogy.
Used to be halo, call of duty, gears of war at one point smhh time flies😢😢
I personally think that Gears died with 5. Don't get me wrong, 4 had PLENTY of issues, but 5 was just bad and predictable. I personally think that the game should've ended with Kait actually transforming her into the new Queen of the Swarm rather than bringing back Myrrah.
So they pulled a palpatine.
@@lindinle they did. The trailers for Gears 5 made people believe that Kait was going to be the new Queen of Locusts but they brought back Myrrah when their was no reason too and with a bullshit excuse on how she was brought back
The thing is: it wasn't a bad game. People loved it and critics too. You may not like it. You can think it's bad, but it's not.
The franchise isn't dead. New games aren't better than the original trilogy and the multiplayer is dying, but that's all. Then franchise is fine. All Gears game were good, and Gears 5 was released in 2019, so surely we'll get the next Gears annoucement soon.
People have to stop overreacting or being so pesimistic about things. Come on, dude, they are good games. A good franchise that deserves being played, and it is for comments like yours that I was missing on it.
@@joseijosei overreacting? I never said that the Gears games were bad, just five. Also, just because critics like it and makes a lot of money DOES NOT mean the product will be good or people will universally love it. Gears 5 had a very misleading campaign and became cliche in the end.
@@MythicShadow04 Yes, overreacting, because it's far from being a bad game. And I said "People loved it and critics too". Did you forget to read the word "PEOPLE"? Gamers, users. The majority of people who played the game liked it. Do you understand that? I know that just because critics like it ait doesn't mean it's good. We have The Last Of Us Part 2 as a perfect example of that, but I'm talking about both people and critics.
gears2 was the GOAT!
Aside from the hacking/map glitching players, I 100% agree. Best wall bounce games.
I do disagree that you should play as Marcus Fenix in Gears 5 or that he should even be in the later games, one of the main contentions I have with triple A gaming protagonists that get a lot of sequels is that they don't get a ending to their character arc, they become like Sam Fisher where he's pushing 70 in Ghost Recon: Breakpoint and he's still a field agent.
Master Chief should of been a Spartan drill instructor for other Spartan's and Fenix should be a retired war hero, taking a well earned R&R.
Marcus didn’t create the Lancer Mk. 2, his father Adam did, after watching Tai Kaliso use a chainsaw as a last resort weapon against a Locust drone.
Men don't care about "her story" - but Microsoft has never understood what Gears was about, just like Halo - they ruined both.
The idea of how the locust returned 25 years after the events of Gears of War 3 wasn’t the worst idea for the franchise but wasn’t handled the best. Showing how what the likes of Marcus, Baird, and Cole did after the war ended with the locust and then having a new generation fight against the new locust breed who return to finish what they started. But made the mistake of straying a bit too far from what made the previous games so popular and tried too hard with the forced “character development” of certain characters.
Gears will never die. My only real fear is that the show adaptation will be plagued by screenwriters who have no respect for the original lore, like the Halo or Witcher series. Especially when the games known for overkill action were able to deliver these iconic emotional moments, such as Tai suck starting a gnasher or Dom taking one for the squad.
Gears died after 3
😢
Thank you after 3 shit was dirt
I like how you started the video with a quick history breakdown
Gears of war was a very very special time in Xbox 360 history…when everyone saw Marcus phoenix and heard that music or Gary Jules mad world commercial…you needed that shit back in the day
We now know that Sweet Baby Inc. had something to do w/ it.
Reason why Mexicans are die hard fans of GoW is because when GoW 2 was out, around that time lots of us went to places where they rented consoles to play something similar to an arcade place but this places where small locals with about 4-8 TV screens and some computers. So overall everything that was popping at that time was Halo , GoW and CoD Black Ops and the Lan parties between everyone was crazy and something you might not see ever again nowdays.
[I still love GoW to this date and play 5, in my opinion too many people focus on battlepasses, dlc and just things that now days games have but that in reality games like GoW 1 or 2 didnt have and we were happy just playing plus at least we can play with lots of characters from other titles of GoW now in 5]
1. drop a marcus fenix collection for pc (and xbox, but more importantly pc since 2/3/J never got a pc release, and 1 isn't on steam)
2. bring back the gritty art style and detailed gore of 1/2. this is the first gears game for 9th gen AND unreal engine 5. it's the perfect opportunity to drastically change the art style from 4/5, which no-one liked.
3. let us customise our multiplayer cog/swarm like in tactics.
4. let a new studio work on a spin-off gears (like splash damage did for tactics). i personally would like to see a multiplayer spin-off set in the locust era that is purely PvE like horde mode. or maybe a combined arms battlefield type game.
5. call it gears OF WAR
Neat fact, Gears is the reason the 360 was as powerful as it was. Before gears Microsoft was dead set to release it with WAAAAY weaker hardware. Epic convinced them to upgrade by showing them what the game would look like with weaker hardware
All I need is Gears 6 then they can bury the franchise. I think of it like the Original Trilogy for Star Wars and the Sequel Trilogy.
The Coalition is what went wrong with Gears same with 343 with Halo
Bro I feel like all they had to do was make prequel games before gears 1 and leave garbage politics out and show brutal war and it would have took out
The Pendulum Wars are a commentary on real world oil wars. There’s literally posters that say “No blood for emulsion” referencing the “no blood for oil” slogan criticizing Bush. The Stranded are a reference to the Bush administration basically abandoning Hurricane Katrina’s victims. There’s definitely other things, but I’m unaware of them. The leas guy literally said he put his politics in the game you spergy babyman. If we’re lucky wonderful websites like Kiwo Farms and Encyclopedia Dramatica will make a lolcow out of you.
The lead guy on Gears of War literally inserted his politics into the original trilogy. “No Blood for Emulsion” echoed the “No Blood for Oil” slogan.
You sperg😂🧩
@@shreksnow1918 wait really I don’t remember that
@noone-pg4lr It’s on a bunch of posters. It’s kind of a background detail and isn’t that intrusive. Emulsion is very clearly a stand in for oil and the Pendulum Wars can be viewed as an allegory for real world oil conflicts. The Stranded are also a reference to the victims of Hurricane Katrina who were basically abandoned. I’m sure there’s other things in the games, and books (haven’t read them). But, I’m unaware of that stuff. I’m sure if you Googled (if you’re going to look something up say you’re Googling it regardless of what search engine you use because that genericizes the term and makes them lose their trademark) it you could find the various connections between things in the game and real world politics.
@@shreksnow1918 I'm noting that google idea.
As a Mexican myself, yeah we love Gears of War!
They could've done so much with jd after the incident since it paralleled with marcus but they ditched that and went with kait, made jd an ass, and had kait basically disrespect marcus and all that. Shit if she was in the og games she would've been in the slab immediately
It's hope sweet baby inc doesn't slime its way into gears 6
damn gears was very fun back in the day
They haven't even announced anything, it's not dead. They now have plenty of other studios to spread out releases and give Coalition time.
Coalition suck and yes this franchise is very much dead. Enjoy waiting to 2026 at the very least for lackluster gears 6.
@@JohnDoe-pu5gkwith a strong female lead character……..
@@sandman8920 right honestly such bs man, gears 4 was alright to me because it was shown through jd's eyes who was a smart ass and didnt experience anything yet. personally they ruined his whole character in 5 trying to make him a carbon copy of Marcus.
@@user-wb3cr6rj2w It was more of a reference to gears 5 and it’s rubbish story with that female that I can’t even remember her name but don’t want to see her ever again anyway 🤪
@@user-wb3cr6rj2w kait Diaz that’s her name. Terribly written character
It should have ended with Gears of War 3. And I was not happy that they killed off Anya. They got the voice actress back for gears 4 in flashback and they decided to killed off Anya come on. It would have been nice to see an older Anya in gears 4 and 5.
Farcus Menix
Honestly whether gears 6 is good or not, it will never top the original trilogy and it would have to be the greatest game ever created for it to bring the new trilogy close to it
Gears 6 will probably be the last Gears game the Coalition will work on. Most players will play it for the campaign and not the MP. I cant see them making a Fenix Collection since it will split up the player base even more for MP
As long as people like Sweet Baby Inc and whoever else are doing the writing. It will suck. Facts.
This makes me sad because gears 1-3 were absolute classics and we probably won’t get anything like those games again
Gears of War 1-3 is where it began and ended.
The two trash bins that followed don’t count.
Judgment was meh
I dont understand how its dead it literally only takes me 20 seconds to find a lobby on the xbox series x
The devs working on Gears do not understand or outright resent what made Gears 1-3 so incredible. Microsoft's DEI "gaming is for everyone" philosophy will ensure all the franchises they've acquired this past year will be ruined as well.
Its true! Mexicans love gears of war, probably even more than halo
What killed it for me was the disgusting over microtransaction to level up your abilitys in horde and how you had to be a full team of various classes rather than just being guys surviving. Couldn't really play below 4 players it, it was barely impossible or not fun doing tactics that would too heavily alter gameplay (like being the scout and having to keep on running constantly to have the damage buff)
Gears hasn't been the same since cliffy b walked away
Another problem with Gears of War 5 was the implementation of a story decision; save Del or JD. That was utterly ridiculous for a linear based story. I immediately chose to save Del because James was a major d head at that point. Clayton had a much more logical reason to be overly pissed off than JD did. JD lost his trust, whereas Clayton literally lost two brothers (Anthony and Benjamin), Gary, and Elizabeth, his niece.
Couldn't have put it any better!
Amazing video ! Learned new things about video games and gears of war keep up the good work Prezi 😊
Honestly, I still enjoyed the games, mainly for horde mode, I won't defend these games because there are some parts and story bits that i thought were off.
They gotta set the slate clean for gears 4,5 and continue from gow4 with Marcus as leading role, and his crew, and don’t make them old af. Just continue right after the events of the third game like they shoulda done from the beginning! Gears 6 in the Kait dominion will be even worse than 5 if they continue that road for the story. If 4 was bad, 5 was worse, 6 will be even more worse. Doing the impossible is kind of non-existent unless they do the impossible and brings back the old crew and continue from gow 3 to 4 and so on.
When they do big mistakes like this in the story and they go a different direction than the previous successful formula, the game ends up pretty much Unredeemable!
Mexicans on multiplayer. You’re welcome
1. Gears 1 was great. No map cameras. No ghost cameras. No private parties. No spawn killing/team deathmatch. You can be the last man standing and clutch a 1v4 by being stealthy and flanking. You can also shoot instantly coming out of a roadie run. Blind firing the shotty actually worked.
2. Gears 5 allows you to wall bounce, back A, up A, reaction shot, etc., but you can't shoot out of a roadie run without a delay/holding the button down? For some reason you can perform all these crazy shots even though the shotty/character is facing the opposite direction? The game is dumb.
I would say "the fall off of gears must be studied" but it looks like it has just been studied... unless a miracle is to come!
Gears 1 was the first game I played online for consoles, changed my life as a gamer forever
My dad and I recently finished re-playing through every gears 1-5 (judgement included, but not tactics💀) for like the 4th time - and have been playing them since day 1; and I can happily say I’m SO EXCITED for the next one. 😩 Gears gives me a gush emotional nostalgia. Incredible moments with my dad!
Marcus didn’t create the chainsaw bayonet
It was Adam fenix after tai killed a locust with a chainsaw
Right you are. I forget to mention Adam Fenix as well as Marcus
I truly miss the gears days. Some of the best times ive ever had gaming.
Probably because Gears 5 is almost what 5 years old without any updates about another game
The Coalition is ass
Buen video bro 👌🏻
Hope gears 6 and halo 7 bring us back to the glory days
Rod Ferguson, destroyer of franchises !
Till this day .. I have not played Judgement ... I've played all except that one .. maybe I'll finally play it this year
The gameplay for Gears Judge was actually really fun imo, I recommend it!
I replayed the campaign a few months ago, it was defenitely worth the revisit! The gameplay and campaign levels were actually pretty fun even if it had the worst multiplayer in the entire franchise.
@@BluBabbageare you seriously recommending a horde based campaign?!
The story is actually really good it dosent deserve the hate it gets
It's dead because Gears of War fans noticed the dumb change in direction the developers took and stopped supporting it. Two main seasons: Gears went woke and it's not a POS live service. Gears of War is a franchise about bros with big muscles fighting big monsters in huge battles. Gears 5 tried to unnecessarily make a woman the focus for no other reason than to be inclusive and it sucked. Want a female lead? Have enough respect for the original IP and the new character by making a new IP to suit, not changing what's established and adored. Gears is meant to be a single-player experience and Gears 5 deviated to an empty, boring open-world at its own detriment, obviously attempting to gently introduce MTX and live service bs in future games. It sucked.
Sweet baby inc made them do it 🤬
@@smurfie8412 I'm disgusted that such companies actually exist. What a waste of budget
I enjoyed Gears 5, but yeah making Kait the face of the franchise was huge mistake.
But you need to know Sweet Baby Inc was involved in that game, so you know...
It would’ve been better if Marcus mom was the Locust Queen I said that should’ve been the story for 3 and it end with them ending her. The end for 2 should’ve been he finds out his mom was the Queen and his dad dies protecting her and tells him the story before he dies
Gears used to be my favorite franchise. I don’t even know if I’ll play the next one because 4 and 5 let me down so much. It’s like Disney’s Star Wars all over again
The multiplayer is is very very unfriendly to beginners when you're going up against crouch strafing pros. The series needs a God of War style reboot asap.
The open world of gears 5 killed it for me. To this day I haven't bothered to finish the game cuz it was just...too much
TDM ? Warzone execution *
This is especially sad for me because I love playing Gears for no other reason than the fact that I love it I know you didn’t ask but I’m a good sport when I play gears I play with a lot more honor than most dudes. I wish more people would play for fun instead of only playing to boost their K/d this causes a lot of camping cuz Guys are too scared to push up and attack you or they’ll just sit and wait for you to come to them because they’re so scared of their KD dropping .1 🤣 pathetic especially since all the OG Gear games are older than Winston Churchill
Gears 2 might just be the pinnacle of gaming, but all 3 are amazing to me
Thanks for reminding me my favorite game franchise is dead
Just give me Gears 1-3 on Steam and I'll be happy. After 3 the franchise was dead to me.
I will always remember that commercial with mad world and how it f****** hit harder than any game commercial I had ever seen by far. Oh yeah I also decided to use that song at my funeral.
Seeing that clip of the game with mad world playing brings back so many memories.
Gears of war looked so Amazing to me when i 1st played it, truly was next gen
Um halo wasn’t the only Xbox exclusive game running on the Og Xbox, Fable 1 was also an Xbox exclusive and a huge hit
I was 7 years old when I got to play gears of war with my father.. it was one of my most cherished memories with him playing on coop. I only wish he got ply 3 with me.
Cod is dead gog is dead Elvis is dead… this is such a depressing day!
If they don't give gears of war 3 better servers im gonna tweak
Gears 5 Horde mode is the greatest I still play to this day.
What I got from this video is: "Please just make something. I'll buy it." 😅
Yessirski
Gears 2 went hard, clans were everywhere.
I want a Gears game based on the big war between the UIR and the COG.
Also UIR are badass.
I make fun mods on an unofficial leaked build of Gears 3, the community of die hard gearheads have talent but oh no, they wanted to squeeze every last drop of money out, only way for more content is to buy their content.... I know what the community had from Gears 1 PC days, even on a crippled editor it was incredible.
If The Coalition was smart they’d give us a Gears of War collection with proper mod support. Sadly, that likely won’t happen since they clearly have no idea what they’re doing and would rather be making something else.
