  • The game that I fell in love with on the Xbox 360. The best Gears of War game, probably even in 2023. 12 years old, and strong as ever. Gears of War 3 is one of my favorite games of all time, so here we go.
    Also yes, Nexus Nights is returning.

    Gears of War Trilogy was the golden peak of gaming that deserves better. 👍

      I dunno if it’s peak but it’s way better than it had any right to be and still better than most AAA games now

      If anyone ever asks me what my favorite video game is, I answer gears of war. I grew up with a nes snes and Genesis in my house as a child, and we owned every system that ever released. I grew up with mario 64 diddy kong racing and 007 goldeneye. I loved def jam fight for NY, sonic adventure 2, san andreas, and halo, But gears of war has always been the best game series I ever played.
      That's just how I feel anyways.

      I disagree because I enjoy all the Gears games, but I can enjoy Gears 3 even today. 1&2 are a bit sour for me but 2011 was an important milestone for the series.

      they should really hand the franchise over to a new studio, like they did for tactics. im convinced TC doesnt even want to make gears anymore, since they were working on 2 projects that got canned to make room for gears 6. it's really not that hard to bring back the grittiness of the original trilogy, especially 1/2. but nooo, we want gears to be colourrfullll. even the gore looks worse in the new games. it's like star wars, no-one cares about the new trilogy. the swarm are just less cool-looking locusts. after 6 they should go back to the locust war and stick to prequels.

    Clicked on this because I grew up with 3, stayed for the music from Judgement. You essentially packed my two favorite games of all time into one video. Judgement's music made this retrospective feel better in a way, and it's good to see someone at least point out the timeline with the beginning of the game. Hats off to you good Tuber

      @@jaredgoldfine1391 it’s not very good. I know enough to know that. I learned some things from Film Arts classes I took in HS, and things I’ve learned to pick up on after years and years of watching other people’s videos and just thinking about them. Raceyvik (that’s probably spelt wrong) was a big inspiration to me. But shows like Corridor Crew and just paying attention to things is how I effectively taught myself to make stuff. Still learning now. Compare this video to one of my Ragnarok videos earlier in 2023 or one I’ve made recently, even in just 6 months or so I feel the quality is night and day.

      Of course. You'd be surprised how many "Big" youtubers are self taught. My advice would be to listen. Podcasts by big creators that I'm a fan of have been great to put me in the right mindset to make stuff. Just--make stuff. Most of the "tips for new UA-camrs" videos specifically are pretty bad, or only do basic things. Just do what you want. That's why I've moved away from doing only Gears stuff and just sorta make videos about what I'm passionate in. @@jaredgoldfine1391

    • @Buster-McTunder
      @Buster-McTunder  Рік тому +1

      I think it’s mainly because Gears hasn’t had a game present in the mainstream since like 2016, so we’re not seeing new people come into the series and it’s just the remaining fanbase.
      Also why I like to keep stuff positive, so many Gears fans talk bad on the series and write about it’s failures, which I get-I’ve done it too- but that sentiment won’t attract new people in. Check out the Discord in the description! Trying to get more people in on community hosted events to get new people and old fans playing more Gears!

    I do enjoy gaming videos where the creator can be both analytical and positive.
    I think there are too many pseudo intellectuals who are just overly negative because they fail to realize that the complete and total dissection of something tarnishes it. Like yeah bro when you game next to a note book it just ain’t as fun. Imagine if I had to take a notebook into the bedroom and give a written review of sex. Suddenly I when to stop, document and analyze every odd odor and awkward position. This is what a lot of content creators do to games.
    These dudes will make disgusting videos about their favorite game where by the end of it you can’t even tell if they actually even liked the game
    So it’s always nice to just hear someone at length just talk positively about a game. The truth is that experiences can’t be transcribed and the best review: of media can be summed up in as little as “i had fun”. And that’s pretty much what this video is, just not in so few words. Just a gears fan boy yammering about how much he simps for this game.
    You remind me of another content creator, Writing in games. Another younger who you can tell actually enjoys video games and knows how get their enjoyment of the game across in the video.
    Anyway great work.

      That’s coming. Tends to be Gears fans don’t appreciate my opinion so my whole deal here was just to reminisce and go over the game. Although there’s not much opinion on Gears 3 I tend to have, unlike 1 or 2 it’s the single game in the franchise that sits in my nostalgia blind spot. And going super-negative in certain aspects is something I’d like to stay away from. If you want a more unfiltered opinion of mine from Gears just wait, I got something coming soon.

      That’s fair. In your defense, this is coming from the mofo who did two entire Gears 5 livestreams to prove how overblown the hate is for Kait (I still hold the stance that it very much is), but good on ya for building the courage to speak your mind. Knowing the Gears community, as much as I love it, they’re not the best at taking that in stride.

      Trust me I can agree with that. Gears is a weird one because as a game I grew up with and played with my Dad it has a hold on how I evolved into who I am, but at the same time I understand how dogwater it can be if you don’t have that prebuilt fandom for the game out the gate.
      But most Gears fans disagree when I say the games are bad so I farm them for nostalgia points and have been moving away from making Gears content overall.
