@@awepizza I would argue it started in 2012-2013 when console games began to be more mobile in nature. Over the last year we have seen console games become grindfests requiring almost pay to play in too many ways. I miss the days when games were 15-20 hour incredible adventures that you enjoyed, put down, and picked up the next one and rinse and repeat. That was the beauty of that 360/PS3 era. They still come but are far and few between.

Epic also didn't want to sell the maps as DLC, they wanted to do what they did with Unreal on PC forever, keep giving free content to keep players engaged and around. They believed more in the day 1 sales of the games in the franchise, so they wanted to keep people there so they'd get huge sales on Gears 2 and so on. MS ofcourse saw things differently, and that began the 1st map packs delays that went on forever, until Epic got upset enough to start putting out little blogs explaining that the maps were actually done early and it was MS struggling with them. They eventually gave in to MS after a final behind-closed-doors sitdown where clearly MS dropped bags of $$$$ on Epic, and the transparency disappeared and the $DLC$ map packs became a thing in Gears.

The "Created by Geoff Keighley" at the end felt like a post-credits stinger lol

The fact that there was this much discussion over the chainsaw is crazy. When I first saw Gears of War I was like, "You had me at chainsaw gun. Gimme gimme gimme."

The nostalgia hitting hard rn 🥺🥺😭😭❤️❤️

What a great time capsule of what life was like back in the day! It's the perfect blend of cringe and nostalgia. The fact that the game still holds up today goes to show how much of a labor of love this was for the team that worked on it.

Damn this is like watching an episode of Orange County choppers when the time is running out on a build haha

Microsoft if you're reading this take the hair out of your eyes and take notes, this is how you make a great game, you work with your the teams that you make games with so that they're good, a good game might take a little longer but trusssst me, more money will come that way, players will be happy, its a win win. These companies need to smarten up.

Not sure why this showed in my feed. Before this launched in 2006, I was invited to a launch party in Chapel Hill at a small bar. I think hosted by Xbox live. Maybe 150 people all got to play got a tshirt, chatted with Cliff. Was a great time.
