I mightve watched every second of this on stream, but it’s gears 2 so I’m gonna watch it again. Seriously tho my love for this game will never die out no matter how old I am
@@lookatthem3216Gears 2 was probably the second game I played and I didn't play the first one until years later. The rift worm is still one of my favourite
Gears of war 2 and 3 changed me and my brother's life as a kid. We first played Gears 2. We loved it so much that we practically begged my dad to buy the limited edition for Gears 3 and he did. We also had action figures of the Kantus, Ben and Clayton Carmine, and Marcus Fenix.
It happened to be my birthday on the release of gears 2 when I was 10 or so, I grew up playing the first one from older brothers. I will never forget getting home to play this game and sneaking downstairs at night to keep playing. The campaign, multiplayer, it was all incredible.
Honestly, charlie talking bout midnight releases pisses me off that i missed a golden age of gaming, im a 2000s kid but couldn’t do midnight release in my country since there weren’t any stores like that. The last time i was able to do anything close to that was the release of halo master chief collection For pc, but everything was just dine online and discord. Just as got my gaming laptop, the community for that died down especially when i went to the us for college, i miss those l4d2, halo and dota moments. Wish it came back somehow.
Seeing the silver silhouetted lancer case took me BACK. I too went to the midnight release for Gears of War 2 and I remember seeing the big caverns after leaving Dizzy to fight Skorge in the ODST drill things, the entire segment with the big ass tunneling worm, and the research station with the sires absolutely blowing my mind and thinking that it could be a movie. The research station even scared the shit out of me with it's clear and for some reason good horror elements.
Army of Two and Gears of War were my first real co-op experiences. Fun times! I brought my TV and PlayStation over to a friend and we didn't do anything until the game was over. That was also my first time using LAN connection on anything other than a PC.
I used to play this all evening and night along with cod4/waw/mw2 with the boys. Then I played pokemon platinum until the morning. Summer of 2009 was the best I ever had.
I'll be honest I don't even think the communities for these games are as good as they used to be because the 360 era was something special and it will never be replicated
Idk if it's still going but they had a sale on pass for $1 for 14 days. Me and my buddy got it so we can relive our days of playing coop after school. Beat the whole game with no issues.
This franchise IS UNMATCHED. I still remember coming home from school and seeing my first halo series 360 on my bed with GOW amongst the games, and I was hooked. Best franchise I ever played imo
The only gears of war that I play was the one where you wake up in the jail cell and the building is all broken up. I still like watching you stream though
I remember watching an interview with the producers stating that they gave Dom this emotional journey instead of Marcus because it wouldn’t fit with his character well. They knew their characters when writing the story and it shows
Genuine joy when I just now watched the "lil freak" music video. I only have heard the song passing by on my recommendations but it's so much better now that I've seen Charlie in it.
Had to have been around 8-9 when this came out so it was my first introduction to the series. Cole Trains entrance will always be a solid favorite along with Might Guy’s Dynamic Entry
Bro actually returned to his roots, thanks so much for playing Gears of War again, this game was a timeless classic of my childhood and seeing you replay it and give it a bit more exposure was great.
Speaking of war, *KAIJU No.8* This manga is about a dystopian Japan that is rampaged by giant monsters on a daily basis. But a new variant of monsters wants to bring in a new era for the monster kind. Now it's all of Japan + one human-kaiju hybrid VS all the monsters. There is also a newly released anime based on it as well
Ngl, I started playing Gears 2 when I was like 9-11, and of ALL the characters, Skorge (the Locust with a helmet that looks like it has locks and the double chainsaw) became my childhood crush 😭😭
I have been playing gears for a while now and I lost rank in gears 4 because you uploaded. Deadass now my teams are packed with bronze players who are new to it now because you have got people playing the modern gears games.
Man, this took me back to my teenage years. Had both of the gears 3 and 5 special edition consoles. Gears 2 was probably one of my most favorite games of all time though. So many good memories with my two buddies grinding it out all day everyday in guardian. Then in Gears 3 when Dom sacrificed himself, that is the only time a video game has ever made me tear up. But after gears 3 it fell off. Miss that gears 1-3 era.
Bro, I totally forgot how the last act of this game starts with the cutscene making it look like there’s going to be five of you fighting, but then Baird and Cole just despawn.
I hated the part where you pilot the centaur. Felt so bad to handle and the part with the ice, forget it. Sometimes thats one of the reasons why I dont wanna play the campaign again cuz ik im gonna have to sit there for a while and fight the controls 😅
i played through gears 5 recently with rtx4080 and 4k oled and its decent. not very long though. The game is like 100+gb download and i bet most of it is the multiplayer maps.
The fact that Microsoft would let Halo and Gears of war, two franchises that felt like they defined an entire generation, fall deeper and deeper into mediocrity is actually insane.

this game was my whole childhood thank you for playing it for everyone charlie

I cant believe they left out the corpser fight at the end
God, old 360 era games feel so much more violent than more recent games
This Carmine death hit me so hard as a kid i cried and named my xbox 360 after him
GoW2 was the perfect game for playing Co-Op with a friend on the Hardest Difficulty.
My mandela effect for this game is remembering seeing dizzy get sawed in half by skorge
Did anyone notice how Marcus waited after Dom shot Maria?
Something tells me Marcus wouldn't have blamed him if he was saving a bullet for himself.
u know it serious when Charlie calls a game a masterpiece
I believe there is a Gears Collection in the works I hope Gears 2&3 get the ultimate edition treatment

I'll never have a relationship as committed as Charlie is to Gears of War.
