Thanks so much for letting me be a part of this, (mugen 828)! Just an incredible game, and what an amazing time when that game was in its heyday. To this day, nothing really beats the feeling of shredding in Gears of War 2. This video was such a well done look back at all the good and bad. Amazing work! ⚙️
And to think I almost cut it at the 11th hour! Instead I added the short gears 2 loading screen to make it tie in a little better. Glad you enjoyed it!
Mannnn god damn! That scene, every time... Incredible from EPIC at the time to craft such a story, it's left as an undertone until this exact moment. As a kid, I must say this was a horrific realisation that she's gone - even though she's right there. Pretty profound for a video game that is 90% viscera and gnarly gunplay Again, props in the video! Enjoyed it
This was a total walk down memory lane man. GoW2 was such an absolute blast. Had completely forgotten about pretty much everything, but it all came rushing back. I was one of those kids that made his dad go to best buy before going to school on the day of release. This was the only game i ever did that for. Good times.
21:30 if you notice marcus hears one gun shot, and then stops walking, listens for a second then keeps moving. What I think happened was marcus was listening to see if he heard a second gun shot, to see if dom was gonna kill himself too, but marcus doesn't hear the second gun shot, so he keeps walking. Something I never noticed until a couple years ago, and I been playing this game since the day it came out. I got it day one, and I never noticed marcus listening to see if dom kills himself. Heavy stuff, super intelligent visual storytelling , and something I've never heard anyone mention before. Rewatch this scene with this in mind, it hits different.
Well MS was the one that brought it all down. Constantly stood in the way and forced many studios down paths they shouldn't be on... *cough* Rare *cough*
So many good memories with Gears 1 and 2. They were incredible. And you’re right, there aren’t enough videos talking about the multiplayer. Great video
Loved your videos But how do you not talk bout the fact that the Host, could make PAUSE in a MULTIPLAYER Game 😂😂 Sure it doesn't stay forever, " queeckly" patch, one week or a bit more, but woah that was umbeliveable A second fact really annoying, was the smoke grenade, and you talk about it The new thing was the fact it make you down now, but during weeks it was glitch as hell I remember that the Kantus Skin could fly into the air Ahah And months later they decide to make the Smoke just like Gow 1, no more Down It changes a lot of the Meta, specially in Gamebattles Matches Personnally, I still think Gow 2 is a clanky, weird games I got a lot of good memories on Gow 2 sure, but the sensation of the gunshot, they way the bullet touch the Body/chair, not as satisfying as Gow 1 I also found Gow 1 more beautiful strangely ^^ I think Gow 1 is stille The Goat Gow 2 is good, Great Story mode, but a little Broken Multiplayer But still a great Game Ty for your 2 videos, great work Man !
duuuuude. I didn't even know about the Pause by host in the first few weeks. It never came up in my research or chats with the OGs. Yeah I remember the change to the smoke grenade changing the meta of gamebattles, but I was out of the competitive nature of games by then. And the Skorge skin flying through the air was fun for glitches. I might do a video for the 3rd game, but it's not as nostalgic for me so I'm holding back.
@icecoldsnakeYT I think the Host who could Pause for Everybody was only on Private custom match. And since we've got a french communauty on Gow 1, we did custom match day one. And i guess they patch that quickly It was so ridiculous Ahah I understand for Gow 3 I have less Love for it too The maps were not really good, and they put the worst nightmare for OG Players : The sawed off Gunshot Worst idea ever This thing was Hell
I really wanted to get into Gears when I was younger but I hated it along with Halo because it was Xbox exclusive and my poor a** only had a PC in my former soviet country.

Dude great video... Same with the gears of war 1 video as well. Your editing is hilarious 😂
That intro was 🔥

Again, props in the video! Enjoyed it

Thanks bro for helping me take a walk back down memory lane. Sigh* I miss all these games
Im having fun on this trip. Thanks joining in.
This video deserves way more views.
Well this was certainly good to watch
ICECOLDSNAKE, Your videos always make me happy, so I subscribed!
Hell yeah is all i can say. I miss the 360, back when MS, Epic and Bungie ruled the world :)
Well MS was the one that brought it all down. Constantly stood in the way and forced many studios down paths they shouldn't be on... *cough* Rare *cough*
@@icecoldsnakeYT😂 poor rare
Another fantastic video! Couldn't agree with you more on the emotion behind that scene with Maria. The nostalgia was strong with this one. Thanks!
Been waiting for this. Will be watching while at work. Thanks for your service man. You bring nothing but great memories of the past.
This isn’t midnight
Life gets in the way.
So many good memories with Gears 1 and 2. They were incredible. And you’re right, there aren’t enough videos talking about the multiplayer. Great video
Haven’t watched the whole thing yet but based on the Intro I’m excited
If I could like this video twice I would.
I never got into Gears of War, but I can see why people loved it.
Next you tell us you will look at Ace Combat.
If you want a shooter that's different considering operation flashpoint dragon rising or even operation flashpoint red river.
Loved your videos
But how do you not talk bout the fact that the Host, could make PAUSE in a MULTIPLAYER Game 😂😂
Sure it doesn't stay forever, " queeckly" patch, one week or a bit more, but woah that was umbeliveable
A second fact really annoying, was the smoke grenade, and you talk about it
The new thing was the fact it make you down now, but during weeks it was glitch as hell
I remember that the Kantus Skin could fly into the air Ahah
And months later they decide to make the Smoke just like Gow 1, no more Down
It changes a lot of the Meta, specially in Gamebattles Matches
Personnally, I still think Gow 2 is a clanky, weird games
I got a lot of good memories on Gow 2 sure, but the sensation of the gunshot, they way the bullet touch the Body/chair, not as satisfying as Gow 1
I also found Gow 1 more beautiful strangely ^^
I think Gow 1 is stille
The Goat
Gow 2 is good, Great Story mode, but a little Broken Multiplayer
But still a great Game
Ty for your 2 videos, great work Man !

I understand for Gow 3
I have less Love for it too

Worst idea ever
