King Harlequinn TBF Mate Gears Of War 4 only had Microtransactions for the multiplayer.

Gears of war, Halo, and CoD 4 was the holy trinity of shooters at the time. No other game could match the gory goodness of the lancer, the euphoric sound of a head being stomped clean off a body, and a campaign that made you feel like an ultimate badass, Gears had the guts and glory to stand with those two games.

Personally I’d say that gears was the father of modern shooters at the time. The graphics wee also ahead of its time by far. Gears of war 3 pushed the Xbox 360 to its limits whilst also perfecting everything that it has. Multiplayer was at its most booming, horse was perfect and beast mode was a nice addition. There was no micro transactions for skins that I know of (apart from the flame skins you could buy codes for off of other people)

I'd argue that FEAR captured the feeling of being the ultimate badass quite well. You could turn enemies into red mist with the shotgun. Send them flying with grenades, nail them to walls with the penetrator gun and turn them into an electrified skeleton with the particle weapon.

I gotta say I'm a little disappointed you're using the remaster for footage. It is more colorful and features flashier FX and lighting but I feel like it takes away from the inherent charm of the original presentation. The gray oppressive tone is meant to convey a world that's had it's life beauty and joy pushed into hiding by this war for survival. To me it's like giving Dark Souls neon colors... sure it'd be cool but it's not the vibe or vision originally intended. Also It seems to me the new cutscenes aren't utilizing the mockumentary "shaky cam" the original had which I believe was supposed to emulate an embedded war journalist film crew style to the presentation that's reflected in the roadie run. It also has several revisionist retcons, like the queen at the end. (and btw you don't remember Act V because they added the PC exclusive levels for Act V to the remaster.) The stylistic choices and sensibilities of the early 2000's game design and culture is a big part of the Gears experience to me and it seems strange that your channel uses VHS lines and "remember this" styling but you're playing the version of Gears that removes so much of the nostalgia triggers and early 2000's shameless cheesy grimdark edge.

For that scene where you're walking across planks over the wretches, there actually is a way to tell the right path. When you take a step on on a piece of wood, if it starts to shake then it will fall and you can step back quickly to avoid going down with it.

25:51 you can tell if the boards will break by stepping on them a little, they will creek more than the others

always top quality content thank you... i remember getting this game for Christmas and was blown away by everything this game had to offer my favorite Xbox franchise

I was in the hospital in 2006 when this came out. I was 17 and had been there for a month and a half. I was lying in bed at around midnight and my nurse came in. It was a guy that I had never seen before that was about 55 to 60 years old. He asked if I liked Xbox 360 and I told him yes. He told me to try Gears of War. It was his favorite new game. I got out of the hospital a week later. After a few days at home, I got really sick again and had to go back. This time I took my Xbox and the next time my Mom ran errands, she brought me a copy of Gears. I loved it so much I read the books and comics. The Xbox made time pass a lot quicker. It is now over 17 years later, and I am now waiting for a transplant. I haven't played video games in a while, but I am thinking about buying an Xbox Series X. I had stopped buying consoles and games because I got into collecting books and guns. I have been rereading the Halo and Gears books and have really missed playing. Thanks for the great video.

This was amazing!!! It was a very nice treat! Thank you!!

Gears of War came out in an era where you had only a couple of major AAA releases per year. This was a perfect environment for making the game as good as possible, so it would review well and sell to a garaunteed market. Nowadays, there is so many choices in games, and even so many choices in platforms, that you see the current climate of developing a game that will monetize a smaller player base for a lot more money.

Amazing video can not wait for pt 2

Love these videos bro, keep it up!!

Thanks for finally fixing your lighting and audio dude. Gears of war was the game that made me want to upgrade to a 360 back in the day. The ad campaign for that game with the song "Mad World" is something that'll stick with me forever.

gears of war was a marvel upon release. the only way i can describe it, it was like going from an xbox 360 to the xbox one. the art style, the tech it was built on, the gloomy mood (got you downright in a depressing mood). it was just fantastic. the multiplayer was fun (and even creepy, especially on dark maps) god it was a blast. i remember spending the whole summer playing nothing but gears multiplayer, when i was a pre teen, listenting to grown adults trash talk me and own me and just smiling the whole time LOL. it was right around when i finaly had good enough itnernet to enjoy online games to. it was a perfect storm that got me into online games.

The super special gamer pic you get for beating gears 1-3 on all difficulties is a good mention. You get some custom avatar stuff too. When i got the gamer pic that small token was worth so much to me. I have been counting down the days until the next gears game. Especially after the major cliffhanger at the end of 4.

Just recently replayed this and it's still awesome thanks

I think it was smart to take away the aiming reticle while blind firing . As it makes it more realistic . A lot of games give you pinpoint accuracy through a reticle when blind firing and it was very smart , not to do this . And I love the feeling of intensity that is felt throughout the game , especially when the enemy rushes you ! Gears is a great game and perhaps one of my favorite 3rd person shooter series ! I only hope we see this series grow more and more !

Great vid!! Would love to see you tackle the 2nd GOW next! Audio balance gets messed up from 36:25-36:54

The mechanic’s in this game was butter. The way you moved, took cover threw grenades etc was amazing. There hasn’t been a game like this.

I could cry watching this. So many great memories playing this game as a kid. Time really does fly.

Man, the Beserker fights in Gears 1 are so much better than in the followups. It adds a sense of terror and skill needing to bait the Beserker into an area you can use the Hammer on it, and only being able to use the Hammer. It felt like it cheapened the Beserker in the later games when you were able to heat it up with a flamethrower then shoot it.

I hope you keep this gears video trend going, I love the games every one of them and hope you like gears 5 coming out soon. Because I'm so hyped for it! Keep up the good work!

Nice thorough analysis of the game. Great job

The Beserker's first appearance made me shit myself... It's 2nd and 3rd later on made me shit AND piss myself... Horror isn't my cup of tea when it comes to games, but the terror I felt for that enemy was something I miss in the GOW universe.

My first Gears was Gears 2 and I have to say this is one of my favorite game series of all time. Made it through a 50 round horde mode with 1 friend over a summer and it’s one of my fondest gaming experiences

Gears of war was one of my favorite franchises. It had a beginning, middle, and end with Gears 3 (the best gears of war). I lost interest with Gears 4. It was a blatant milk of the franchise and felt hallow and contradicted everything in the previous game.

Jonny B I put gears 3 above 2 because it improved a lot of the game mechanics. It was abysmal trying to find a multiplayer game in gears 2 and gears 3 made it soooooooo much faster to find a game. You’d be searching for 15 min just to find a game in gears 2 and god help you if the host left. I also liked the campaign better in gears 3. They recognized the problems with gears 2 and fixed them and improved upon them in gears 3.

Jonny B LACKLUSTER?!?! You get revenge for Dom, You get a touching moment between Marcus and Adam fenix who dies moments later, you finally kill Mera, and you and your squad save Sera. To me it was one hell of a bang to end Gears

xdanman 117 Gears 4 didn’t contradict anything. It’s a good continuation in my opinion. Are the characters as good as the Original Delta Squad? No but they are Ok.

Lewis Connor it contradicts the finale on gears 3 with what Marcus’ dad did. He killed off the locust horde, they’re all gone, dead, the war ended. Gears 4 is like “nahhh they didn’t really all die”

Ooh! A Gears video!

Hey! I know I’m just one dude but it’s really cool to see these kinds of videos because it seems like every “game” video now a day seems to shit on what’s going on now. It’s great to revisit the past.

Great video! my feelings exactly. Can't wait for G0W 5. Kait is one of my favorite characters.

It's funny, the wretches attack scene in the hallway, which you said the Lancer was not the best choice, is actually the very much the best weapon there Because you can cheese the engine there because they have no projectile weapons. You just hold down B (rev Lancer chainsaw) and hold left. Hold B and left, you spin on the spot and the wretches just run into your chainsaw. They can't interrupt the chain saw sequence! They just stand there waiting their turn for evisceration! 🤣🤣🤣

A shotgun stomp is a one hit kill too and much quicker :p

What a fantastic video !!! Gears of war was what got us an Xbox 360, remember seeing the Mad world advert for the first time and thought what was that !!! ever since then Gears has become part of life, have met some amazing people through the game and still this day talk and play with them still on Gears 4. We loved Gears so much we started our channel just to show and support the Gears of War community which at the most time is very salty and toxic but deep down we all love Gears. Our biggest highlight has been being recognised by Rod Furgesson himself and also getting to meet the guys from Coalition studios it's been an honour to represent Gears of War and we hope the franchise continues. If you're a Gears fan then 2019 is going to be an amazing year !!

That Forrest Gump Frank Ocean instrumental at the end was worth the jump scares in audio editing around 36 minutes in. Good work

Thank you been waiting for a retrospective video of gears. U got to do gears 2 Nd 3

the way the locust know where Delta is going, is when you see RAAM with the cog soldier he listens in on his helmet and hears through anya where they are going to capture the train and lower the bridge

I Really like your videos like this!

Could you do the same nostalgic type of video for Kane & Lynch series? There is a lot that can be said about this franchise starting with a determined obsession of IOI to stick to a grounded realistic tone to their immense cinephile background which, in most part, was a definining factor in how the series looked

I love Gears of War so much that I have lost count of how many times I have finished Gears of War 1, 2, 3 and Judgment, co-op or by myself. Gears of War 3 is still on my top 3 online games I played the most on XBox 360, lovely times

Gears of war has aged well. Comparing it to heavy micro transaction games of today. I love jumping for an hour or two from time to time and just enjoying the original trilogy. No need for additional purchases or frustration behind an unnecessary pay wall

It's a extra content bit with the Brumak that wasn't in the 360 release.

I played the game around release and I was like 7 and wow it hit different scared the hell out of me

The original Gears of War on my elite white xbox 360 with a chrome disc tray was special. It was one of the darkest and mature games I'd played at the time. It was crazy fun and when you first fight the berserker with the hammer of dawn it scared the crap out of me.

From the Mad World trailer, to the countless hours spent in Multiplayer, to running co-op multiple times, GOW1 was one of my most loved games I've played. I've spent so many hours online with friends I still have today running MP when I wasn't busy with college classes. Gears 2 began to lose me, and after that it was never really the same for me. As with Halo, I still enjoyed the storyline, but the MP lost appeal to me. Nostalgia kicks hard whenever I get to watch anything about games that came out around this time. I love it!

Gears had the most satisfying headshots. Popping someone’s head off and watching them stand there for a second headless was so good

My absolute FAVORITE game series, number 1, the best!

I played through this game so many times with friends in high school. It started being a weekend thing we would do. We would pop in the disk Friday night after school and play through the campaign then pass the controllers to the next people. Getting high and playing GoW, good times.

The fight with the Brumak was actually unique to the PC version for years until the release of Ultimate Edition for Windows 10 and Xbox One - which is why you didn't remember the sequence going into it.

Great video; minus the audio issues near the latter half of the video.

Pretty wild to think back to the mythical, pre-historic age of games being a full package at release with split screen as a feature.

Were there any differences in the PC version or ultimate version from the 360 version? I don't remember that Brumak fight in act 5. Also, I remember not being able to beat Raam on the highest difficulty level because Dom wouldn't last 5 seconds.

Halo 3 and gears of war 1 and 2 made me get an Xbox 360!!! That made me an Xbox fan

This was great! Are we going to get the rest??
