Had to make this after the drop of E-Day and boy did this take longer than I expected. Hopefully there's not any, or many wrong bits of info but if there is leave a comment. But ultimately, thank you so so much for watching check out the merch to help support the channel or just leave a like, subscribe and nice comment! Cheers.
@@WiseFish You done an excellent job of this video? The timeline of gears of war is amazing. What you done to it but I have a question. Could you cover the timeline about Ace combat it? 's interesting to see the timeline of this game franchise on your channel.
THANK YOU for putting out a video actually explaining all this in a way most people will be able to understand, being someone who has played gears 1, and most of 2, I had a hard time picking up the origins and beginnings of the war with the locusts cuz they don't explain it too well in game.
2 hours flew by like nothing for me. As someone who's been invested in Gears of War since 2008, I can say this is definitely the best video that summarizes the Gears Universe pretty well. Very superb job at incorporating not just the games but also EU material like the novels and comics. Well worth the wait if you ask me, and I can't wait to see you cover Gears of War E-Day when that game releases one day. Also, has a small note I love the tomato joke you made during the Gears of War 4 section.
Love content like this. I used to play this game for hours and my dad would just always sit there and watch and commentate, make jokes, tell me stories, and never bickered at me for playing, he would always cherish any amount of time he got with me, because my mother hid me from him for years because a personal vendetta, so i would sneakily text and see my pops. Eventually i got old enough but then unfortunately shortly after he got cancer. He was misdiagnosed years ago and unfortunately the cancer was already at stage 3, so i spent the last few weeks with him playing this game. I really appreciate finally understanding the lore of this game and i can’t wait to tell my pops all about it.
So glad you enjoyed it my dude and thank you so so much for the donation. I hope you get through what is a very tough time, I know how hard cancer can hit a family and this story really hit home. Sorry for the late reply but I hope you’re doing well! Thank you again but I’m more happy I could provide you with a good video to watch that you can share with your pops!
Dude tha Karen Traviss novels were so good. If anyone likes this video you should definitely read them. There's always a sense of great history in them.
The 5 novels she did are always a blast to read. Still crazy they're done by the same author who did the Star Wars Republic Commando novels and the Halo Kilo 5 Trilogy novels.
@@rhomayyann4691 my favourite part of the trilogy was the overall sense of hopelessness and sorrow, something that I've never seen in mainstream media (especially from the US)
The concept of Imulsion always interested me greatly, and I’m not sure why. There are plenty of parasitic outbreaks in fiction that could catch my interest, but the idea of Imulsion always seemed so much more… well, I guess the word you could use would be “efficient.” For the first years of its life cycle, it’s just slime. No outward signs of life, no reaction to stimulus, just gold sludge that happens to work wonders as gasoline. It infiltrated nearly every aspect of Seran society from weapons and home products to fuel resources, and only when it had the entire planet covered did it begin to evolve. It strikes me as an intelligent move on a seemingly mindless organisms part; fill the body up with viruses that do nothing right away, and by the time you realize you’re sick, it’s already way too late to stop it.
Such an awesome universe. Played the heck out of Gears and Gears 2 in college, both great games. Don't have a console so I haven't played the rest but always fun to hear about more lore and more of the story. Well played!
I would love to see a game based on the pendulum war. I know humans vs humans are boring compared to the locust but it would be great for the series or even just a dlc. It would be nice to see young Marcus, dom, Carlos and many more characters.
man this is why i love your channel most people when they cover the lore of a game miss out on a lot of lore but you put the effort in to make proper timelines ive watched a few videos on gow bit of a gear head and so many dont bother covering the lore not in the game thats still cannon like anvils gate or coalitions end both incredible books that are cannon to the timeline
I'll honest, I've only played the 2nd game a long time ago when I was a kid, so I fully thought the games took place on Earth until now and I guess my head cannon was that the Locust modified the planet somehow when they invaded.
Will watch a bit and then more tonight at work. Was playing gears 5 this morning because apparently I bought it at some point. No idea when but figured start cracking thru backlog
When you stated that you had to shorten the sections of certain events so the video wouldn’t be too long had me immediately hoping you’d reconsider and post an extended version now lmao
I just played through Gears 1 & 2 on my Xbox One X. The modern resolution and framerate made it the most enjoyable playthrough to date. Those games hold up, and they're even better than I remembered.
Imagine the first gears game was set during the end of the pendulum wars and the game ended with beginning of E-day, that would have been the maddest cliff hanger ending in gaming especially if they didn't show locusts or anything about them
"War... war never changes... But the gears of war are always turning!" Gears of war: fallout, my what if gears of war crossed over with fallout fanfiction.
I like how all the Icon characters gained their ranks by blood & strife. Wow, Dom is just wow a brotherly chad brother to end. Now i see why alot people also hate Fenix now 😂👀😳...
Gears 4 really kind of tainted the series, in my opinion. Nothing like how the Last Jedi did star wars, but still messed with the formula that made it heard to digest, Gears 5 definitely helped, a lot of people didn't like the semi-open world, but I thought it made it better. Hopefully, E-Day is the return hero of the franchise.
@@austinguthrie5528 I felt like 4 was a snooze fest until you started fighting the proper Swarm enemies, but overall it was fine. I had a blast with the multiplayer. I remember genuinely enjoying 5. I’m replaying both of them soon though because I don’t remember much about either.
They are retelling a story that shouldn't be retold. They are definitely building up the characters tho, but Coalition already dug themselves a hole with 5s ending
@NZealandese Very true, I liked the world building of 5, and I see that someone at Coalition really wants to do Pendulum Wars with all the UIR and PW flashbacks they have in the last couple of games. Which I am all for! My favorite chapter in 5 was searching the ruins of the wartorn UIR space facility. Would've preferred a Pendulum Wars game that leads into E-Day rather than what we are getting now. Hopefully they make it fun and maybe add the UIR assault rifle, which, if I remember correctly is pretty much a LMG. And bring back the Breachshot!
As an OG GOW player I can easily say they destroyed the series with DEI Starbucks hair garbage and a kamikaze course aimed at making the game more marketable to youth... will "E💥Day" get its testicles out of its man purse and bring back the hardcore gritty action we loved or fall prey to another computer algorithm advising the game maker to put a chick in it and make her gay😃💥🔥🌟 Everything about the original series was perfect except the way the rifle would rise straight up when firing on fully automatic... that's not "a thing" with people who know how to hold a weapon guys😒🤔😃

Good to see your channel still doing well old boi.
Great Job! All I know is WAR that occurred in the game but never the historical lore of Serra.
2 hours worth of Gears lore? I'm down for this.
Same I’m at work and bored need something to listen to

E-Day sounds like E-Girls did something the world would never forget.

Yeah they really are. Wish I could just read it all in a video but it would be very long 😂

Still crazy they're done by the same author who did the Star Wars Republic Commando novels and the Halo Kilo 5 Trilogy novels.
I reread the gears books at least once a year
I really hope E-Day brings back that old school Gears of War feel. The eery, grimy feel.
@@rhomayyann4691 my favourite part of the trilogy was the overall sense of hopelessness and sorrow, something that I've never seen in mainstream media (especially from the US)
@@rhomayyann4691 apparently it was confirmed to go back to its dark and gritty ways.
Don’t see how it wouldn’t since we are lucky gonna be seeing so many innocent deaths ect going on.

It's like one of those strategies when playing Plague Inc. Spread as much as possible while doing almost zero harm until the time is right

Sera just cannot catch a break with regards to energy
Thanks for this video! Not a lot of people cover the earlier days before the gears events.
Always a pleasure to hear your narrate. I wonder, have you ever considered being a speaker for skywind? Or do audio books?
I’d absolutely love to but the opportunities have never come up sadly!
Will watch a bit and then more tonight at work. Was playing gears 5 this morning because apparently I bought it at some point. No idea when but figured start cracking thru backlog
This vid is a BANGER! Appreciate the time, effort, and dedication to put it all together 🤘🏻

Great video!! Very interesting!
Amazing production!
very good story explanation with out making the video 4 hours 10/10 enjoyed
Resistance or killzone lore video next please? maybe crysis As well
As a non Xbox player it was Nice to hear the full Lore of Gears.
Gives a new perspective, you know?
Thanks for this. It was amazing.
2 hours of Gears Lore(?) Holy moly 🎉
I make no apologies for it being so long. Wanted to make this for a while lol
Let's go baby, i love me some gears lore
Ephyra was on the Jacinto Plateau, had solid Granite bedrock and was not devastated on E-Day.
Love your lore videos.
"War... war never changes... But the gears of war are always turning!" Gears of war: fallout, my what if gears of war crossed over with fallout fanfiction.
Say what you will about Gears 4 and 5 i actually loved how we got ingame lore and background of Mirah. God i love Gears i hope E-day is good!
Straight away, a beautiful Vista of Azura.
So hope they make Gears 6. How make a proper end to it all
Man it feels like the Locust were created by Vault-Tec😅
Essentially yeah 😂
I like how all the Icon characters gained their ranks by blood & strife. Wow, Dom is just wow a brotherly chad brother to end. Now i see why alot people also hate Fenix now 😂👀😳...
Right off the bat, an emerging Corpser.
Mataki was not Baird's actual granny he just called her that.

I like 5 because how the graphics and the story was not that bad I wish people actually like that game

@blackmetalbreadstick Been itching to piss players off by going in Lancer chainsaw only again on 5. May do that again soon, lol

40:01 I heard that 🤨
Holy white. Time to get lit
NO THE HORROR THE HORRO NOT THE TOMATOES! 2:08:51
I guess there is no such thing as war crimes in the gears of war universe.
Gears 4 & 5 are really great games, shame you had to add that qualifier. I get it, this is the internet, but yeah.
So in a nutshell humanity destroyed its self😮
1:21:51 as a Carmine Enthusiast this factually incorrect
Anyone else here after seeing the E-Day trailer
Who listened to the whole thing 👍🏽
Everything happens for a reason.
I wonder if we know wether that planet was colonised by earth but because they lost contact with earth they devolved back into the stone age?🤔🤨
What Sera you mean?
@@WiseFish Yes👍🏻😁
@@kristindreca.8859I like that idea tbh wouldn’t surprise me
4 and 5 were terrible online, killed the esport for the game and all BUT the story in both I think were still great
Well well well i was just getting bored
anyone else check discord at like 40:00
As an OG GOW player I can easily say they destroyed the series with DEI Starbucks hair garbage and a kamikaze course aimed at making the game more marketable to youth... will "E💥Day" get its testicles out of its man purse and bring back the hardcore gritty action we loved or fall prey to another computer algorithm advising the game maker to put a chick in it and make her gay😃💥🔥🌟

Wow 4 and 5 look like trash stories. Lol no wonder i got gears 3.
So if the matriarch was left behind how did the escaped locust horde reproduce
Berserkers are supposedly how they breed. Locust chain them down and force themselves upon them until they give birth to more Locust
