What I find sad about Doms death is that Cole and Baird weren't even there. The OG squad that had been together for years on the most insane missions. And during deltas mission, Baird and cole meet their old squad and eventually finding out from Paduk that Sophia was dead. Then coming back and finding out that Dom was dead.

I didn't make that parallel mostly because I play Judgement particularly Aftermath after 3. So really Baird and Cole were already not in the best mood. Then the news about Dom hits. This drama,tension and grief are solely missing in the Collation games. Another reason their games are far and away inferior.

​@@daranaqelforastero319I'd guess that because there's a noticeable tonal shift. Some questionable direction, even if justified by already existing lore. And most of the new characters aren't that great. That's not to say some of the hate isn't unhinged. Whatever someones issue is, there's plenty of friction to not like something they have elevated expectations from their childhood. I particularly dislike some direction choices and the modern rumbly sound design. Some of the stuff I like less is also present in gow3. It just doesn't hit what I liked about the originals and it isn't strong enough on it's own merits to overcome that.

To explain how Adam knew Myrrah before E-Day, Adams wife was exploring the hollow when she came across the Locust. She had written notes and was planning on telling the world about them, but before she could, she was captured and executed. Adam, trying to find his wife, followed her trail and was met with the locust, where he had a meeting with Myrrah. She explained they were at war with lambecy and that they had no other choice but to invade the surface. Adam, not wanting a gnlenocide, convinced her to stay in the Hallow so he could create the device he finished at the end of Gears of War 3. Before he could, the Pendulum wars were still ongoing, and they pressured him into creating the Hammer of Dawn, which made it impossible for him to help the Locust. This inevitably lead to them invading the surface.

I’m a bit late to the party since you uploaded this almost a year ago, but the part in Act IV, at around the 40:00 minute mark where the lady says “maybe not all cogs are bad” and let’s you into the armory. It’s a secret scene that only unlocks if you go through the entire city without knocking down any ash people either by walking into them or shooting them. It’s a cool little Easter egg

I never caught on to the running joke of the Carmines having trouble with reloading, so Clay just shows up with a minigun; no reloading required.

The part where Dom is just fine with dying was actually shown in one of the trailers where he gets knocked down by a locust. The games devs gave us a hint that his time would come to an end but holy shit, it was still depressing.

One thing I loved about gears of war 3 is beast mode and the characters for the locust. I don’t think you fight a single Miner or Hunter in the entire game yet we have both of them for Variety cause unlike Gears of war 4 and 5 we just have the enemies we fought and nothing out of the blue like The spotters and stuff like that, just made up enemies that we legit never see in story mode and variants of it instead of the same enemies with different colors. And Dom’s death scene still hurts me to this day

I played Gears 1 when it first came out, I was real young and not use to extreme violence in games yet. I played co-op with my brother so I got to play as Dom and got all those achievements. Then the second game came out and blew our balls off with how good it was. Dom was quickly becoming one of my favorite video game characters and when he finally found Maria, damn that hit hard. Then comes 3 and I just knew deep down Dom wasn't gonna make it. Then you go to Mercy and my brothers like "oh god, here we go". Man I never really cried at a video game before that point. I don't like any of the gears games that came after so I really just accept 3 as the finale and the rest just feels like fanfic. These 3 games need to be remastered, just give them new graphics and change nothing else, they're amazing the way they are.

To answer your question to what became of Griffin after gears of war three in the aftermath during the interwar period. He found a group of survivors within Char and they formed another community overtime when Anya and others were reestablishing the COG he was invited to join its council of ministers, in which he did now whether he will be seen in any future game remains to be seen

Seeing as to how Griffin and his people used to be Stranded during the Locust War and Lambent Pandemic and how things were working out for them back then it would seem that their chances at survival would be better if they joined up with the COG despite whatever past there was and considering how Anya was it’s First First Minister I’m sure that tried foster good relations with former stranded Griffin included and considering how she was nothing like Chairmen of the previous COG it Griffin probably felt more trusting towards Anya plus it was a 25 year period in between Gears of War 3 and 4 so that’s plenty of time to hash things out.

GoW 3 is probably my favourite game of the trilogy, even if I have and I'm still playing the crap out GoW Pc version. The most beautiful scene of the trilogy is imho when in GoW 1 Delta squad arrive at the imulsion extraction station, with the rain and the lights of the tank illuminating the scene. Dark, intense and very atmospheric. In GoW 2 there is, nonetheless, the most mindblowing sequence, inside the riftworm. In GoW 3 I really loved the initial split-squad adventure, with Marcus and Dom on the ship and Cole and Baird on land searching for food, finally converging to the first revelation given by Chairman Prescott. In GoW 3 I adored almost every chapter of the game, except the last one: too bright and colourful.

Gears of war is probably one of the healthiest trilogies I've ever seen. Unlike most trilogies where there's always that black sheep of the series, gears of war doesn't have that (not counting judgement) You got fans of the first game that like 1 the most for its horror elements, but still acknowledge that 2 and 3 are great games. Then of course you have people who still discuss if 3 and 2 are the peak of the series, while still respecting each other for liking one over the other.

my favorite mini easter egg on the Delta 2 at the beginning if you take Cole onto the playground set you can slide down the slide and Cole makes a "WOO" while going down. Small things like that is why this is my favorite game of all time

Gears 3 is in my opinion the best gears of war game overall because every aspect of the game was great. The story was awesome and the multiplayer was the best in the series from the progression system to the gameplay, and the medals gave us some great rewards and some challenges that made the game even better. The horde 2.0 added some new features like a fortification system that was really cool. Then we got beast mode a new game mode that allows us to play as some of the coolest locust characters in the series like the berserker, or the serapede. Overall legendary experience that was one of the best games on the 360. Also, great videos! I love the gears summery vids. You’ve got yourself another subscriber 👍

I fondly remember the beta for Gears 3 and getting the Gold Retro Lancer skin. That thing was such a flex back in the day!

Unlike Gears 1 and 2, of which I fell in love with almost immediately, I think it took me some time to truly appreciate Gears of War 3. I used to think Lambent Contingency was the biggest cop out to end the trilogy because they somehow managed to destroy both the Locust and Lambent in one foul swoop, and while I still don't love it as a plot device, I do really like how the road to get to Azura was a long and hard fought one, with significant losses along the way for our heroes (Dom's death never fails to make me tear up every time I see it). And even when they get to Azura, you really feel like Delta Squad is putting everything they got into getting the Contingency plan going, and even when they finally succeed, it truly feels like a bitter sweet ending; sure, humanity won, but that won't bring back their loved ones and it will take decades for the COG to get back to normalcy (if indeed it could ever be the same, again) perfectly encapsulated in Marcus and Anya's final scene together. While I still believe Gears of War 2 to be the stronger of the two narratively (Gears 3 is way too damn reliant on you having read the books to know what's going on), I still think it was a good way to end the trilogy. :) And that's not even including the sick ass multiplayer modes, especially Beast Mode and the new and improved Horde Mode from 2!

All of this death and destruction could have been avoided if she had just had _a little_ bit more faith in Adam. All of those cities destroyed, all those innocent lives lost, because she couldn’t look past the mistakes of the men who raised her. She thought all mankind was rotten to the core, while refusing to acknowledge the fact that she was human herself, and therefore no damn exception. If she had just waited, Adam would’ve came up with a way to get rid of the Lambent, the Locust could have retaken the Hollow, and possibly even made peace with the Humans after things had calmed down from the pendulum wars. But no. She was impatient, petulant, and possessed of an ego so damn big that the thought of having to wait for anything offended her. And so millions of people are dead, and all that blood is on _her_ fucking hands. “Feel that? That’s from Dom. And everyone else you killed, you _bitch.”_
