I hated/loved playing as him in the dlc. I feel like Cog soldiers are just canon fodder. Never really get to see how cool cogs are, only the main characters and side characters. 🥲
@@mustardt1ger Raam is literally the Locust equivalent of Xytan Jar Wattinree of the Covenant from Halo and Megatron of the Decepticons from Transformers.
@@duran4689 I’m so with you on that. The brainless waves of cog soldiers you kill in the dlc almost takes away from the clever cunning ruthless bad guy Raam is made out to be in the lore
"Rise of Raam" was a good little story about the characters rise to power. Despite a lot of questionable dialogue and artistic interpretation of the Locust, RAAM, and many Locust characters, it's a faithful apocrypha that stands well on its own. And worth adding to your Gears of War collection as well.
We need a gears game that lets us play as the locust fighting the lambent many may hate it but it still would be interesting. At least I think so anyway Love the gears of lore videos dude keep it up Ps we need more melee weapons in gears and maybe character creation (still not sure if it would be good or not but you know) Have a glorious day everyone
Anyone who requires a hammer of dawn orbital weapon to be killed is an overpowered boss. Plus he commands the krill swarms (basically man eating bats) and with his genetic modifications he could take on even the toughest of creatures in the hollows.
The Great and Glorious General RAAM. General RAAM did scared me when I first played gears of war especially with the Kryll that block the shots. After a while I grown fond of general RAAM and I looked up to him especially his deep and raspy voice. "Serve the Queen" That what made me like and love general RAAM, there are times I say General Lord RAAM. I see RAAM as a general and as the Lord of the army's of Locust, the Queen's enforcer, General Lord RAAM. I even kneel before him even though it's just a screen 😅😅😅😅
Honestly It’d be pretty awesome to me if we were play DLC content featuring Locust POV against the Lambent, in the hollows. It’s just so potentially interesting. Honestly I always viewed the Locust as a VERY underrated species that I wished we have more perspective about them, about as much as the Covenant from Halo.
Kinda curious on how the Locust felt after General RAAM was killed by a ground walker. Surely they didnt believe it at first or they just thought it was bullshit. But It wouldnt surprise me if Queen Myrrah set out a bounty for Marcus Fenix and Delta squad for those locust who were hellbent on avenging Raam.
Honestly, Delta Squad managing to take down Raam shows just how strong Marcus and his squad were as a team. Raam took down entire units on his own, but when Delta Squad came together against him, they were finally able to put him down
I wish we would get an RTS game for GoW in the style of Halo Wars, not only would it give ample opportunity to expand on the Locust Horde and COG, but being able to watch things like E-Day from an overhead view would be spectacular! Also thanks TH-cam for not sending me the notification for this video, or any of the prior videos :/
The first time I beat gears1 on the hardest difficulty RAAM made me so mad killing me over and over till I finally got lucky and took him down. The feeling of accomplishment I got from beating him was probly more satisfying then it should b for a game when no one else will care at all. 😆
RAAM:hits an squat PR of 900KG without an Lifting Belt,Turns to the Locusts and Gears struggling with their Deadlifts. RAAM:where’s your motivation groundwalkers!?
i think we need a world war z game,but in the Locust Hive World. just seen hundreds of Lambent coming at us like in the game of World war Z would be really cool. :D
Jermad is new to me, sense he’s not in any of the games’s campaigns, I only know he exists due to gears 5 multiplayer, could you please post a video about him?
Love the channel. Ive been playing through all the campaigns again on hard and I love the lore. Also love the PVP videos too. Brings back fun memories when I was a kid.
Okay seriously I want a Gears of War game where you play as the locusts, Fighting the lambent in the Nexus and fighting the Gears on Emergence day that would be awesome 😎👍💯
For some reason I saw the pic of the video and was like is he a halo brute? Then I was like ooh him, 100% not a brute. Though imagine if they make a popular brute with the same name
There's alot more stories they can tell with general RAAM because let's not forget the fact that this took place a few years before the locust human war began and RAAM died 10 years into the locust human war so there could be dozens of more stories they can fit in in between those events. I don't just wanna see raams rise and death because I already know that I wanna see the atrocities he inflicted on humanity during the war. we only know 2 people that have been killed by RAAM, Alecia Valera and Minh young Kim.
Can someone explain why the locust didn't work with the cog to quell the lambent? I know the queen had some serious beef but to me it'd make more sense to work together then take out humanity. Mostly asking cause I don't 100% know the reasoning behind it.
Queen Myrrah did enlist in Adam Fenix's help to produce a weapon capable of wiping out all Lambent on Sera. However, when his results kept producing the possibility of the Locust going extinct as well due to their origins, coupled with both Queen Myrrah's patience, and the Locust slowly losing ground over time, Queen Myrrah's hands were forced and she believed exterminating humanity was the only justifiable solution to survive the Lambent invasion. Little did they know that they would've survived regardless as Niles Sampson surprisingly had a failsafe plan built into the Locust genetics. Nevertheless, Myrrah's compounding and wading patience, her hatred of humanity or in particular, Niles Sampson, and her need and longing to protect her people from certain extinction had all passed on psychomagnetically passed on to her subjects so they all would've shared her sentiment and hatred regardless, no matter how much you try to spin the idea, the Locusts were bad guys.
General Raam was not so tough when he got smacked around by Uzil Sraak. He was also not impressive when he was killed by Marcus Fenix and Dominic Santiago during the Lightmass Offensive.
So RAAM can man handle a lambent horde with his trust blade, but can’t beat two gears (Marcus and dom) with kryll on his side 🤦🏻♂️ I LOVE gears, too. No disrespect, but man they gotta stay true to their lore. If you’re gonna make him OP, he should be just that. Reminds of what happened with General Grievous. He was a monstrosity in the shows and comics, but completely backwards in the movies
You gotta remember what happened at the end of Gears 1, Cole was using the king Raven spotlight to destroy the kryll. RAAM couldn’t use the kryll in that fight so he was nerfed
@@KingAbzTV he never needed them though. They were just a bonus for him pretty much lol. Like i said, i love gears, so i cut them slack, but they shoulda taken their lore a little more serious with him
Despite both medias had them speak english, is it weird that the locust in the comics speak full coherent sentences while they speak like cave men in the games?
............why is Raam speaking in full sentences? Is it because of some degradation he experienced over time and THAT'S why he speaks few words in the games but not the comics predating the events of the games? This honestly seems dumb first time seeing him speak like this.

General Raam is one of the reasons why I raged quitted Gears 1
Great character.
Annoying boss fight.
I remember not having any explosives with me. So I never beat it...
I damn near destroyed my controller for trying to kill him on thr hardest difficulty lmfao
Didn't help because Dom was always getting downed from the dumbest shit
@@glitch2463 the ai was horrible
He’s literally one of the coolest Video game enemies ever designed. I wish there was more stuff featuring him
I hated/loved playing as him in the dlc. I feel like Cog soldiers are just canon fodder. Never really get to see how cool cogs are, only the main characters and side characters. 🥲
He’s cool but Skorge is a whole other type of beast

Don’t mess with RAAM...unless your Marcus Fenix
And Dominic Santiago
Well raam is the locust verison of marcus
Marcus Fenix: "And I took that personally"
Also.
SEEEERVE THE QUEEEEN
Yes,Vold Dan
I wish we get more comics about the Locust vs Lambent war, its so interesting

Agreed, the wild storm comics art was better as well but overall a solid issue of comics that I enjoyed
There was supposed to be a disclaimer stating that what the Locust say are translated from their native language.
We need a gears game that lets us play as the locust fighting the lambent many may hate it but it still would be interesting. At least I think so anyway
Love the gears of lore videos dude keep it up
Ps we need more melee weapons in gears and maybe character creation (still not sure if it would be good or not but you know)
Have a glorious day everyone
I agree, need a lambent war game!
& thank you!
Honestly I'd like to see the enemies perspective of that war, even though we do get play as RAAM in RAAM's shadow but a full game would be awesome.
They make games to make money
Raam scared the shit out of me in my childhood 😭
Anyone who requires a hammer of dawn orbital weapon to be killed is an overpowered boss. Plus he commands the krill swarms (basically man eating bats) and with his genetic modifications he could take on even the toughest of creatures in the hollows.
The really needs to be a game about the locust lambent war
I don’t think any normal person would mess with Raam 😂, could you make a lore video on Baird like how him and Cole met and his life before E-Day
I’ll add that idea to the list! Thanks bro
This video reminded me that I still need to play the raams shadows dlc on gears of war 3.
See this is why I would love a full game based on the Locusts. To experience the war through their perspective
Agreed 👍💯
I'll never forget the first time I saw Raam. He's been my favorite enemy ever since. 15 years and no one has been able to top him.
The Great and Glorious General RAAM.
General RAAM did scared me when I first played gears of war especially with the Kryll that block the shots. After a while I grown fond of general RAAM and I looked up to him especially his deep and raspy voice.

RAAM is locust gigachad.
*DON'T* chainge my mind.
RAAM doing the Dr Livesey Phonk Walk, with Karn in front, and Skorge in back. Make it happen.
The original Locust council were all bad ass as f*** bro

(5 hours later)
Raam: WHERE TF IS MY COOKIE

Raam: DID YOU!?!?
Locust Drone: yes...

Multiplayer in a nutshel
Maybe...
Great video Abz I wanted to know more about RAAM. :D
Thank you!
Serve the queen
I love these videos pls continue I can’t get enough of gears lore
Of course, I will be doing!
Don’t mess with General Zid either 😤
i need more of these, so good
More coming soon! 🔔
i think we need a world war z game,but in the Locust Hive World.
just seen hundreds of Lambent coming at us like in the game of World war Z would be really cool. :D
You are the Best TH-camr
You’re too kind 😊💙
RAAM’s Shadow was such an entertaining DLC. I remember being so damn excited when it got released on the marketplace
A gears of war playing with locust against the lambent before emergence day would be awesome, much better than 4 or 5
Jermad is new to me, sense he’s not in any of the games’s campaigns, I only know he exists due to gears 5 multiplayer, could you please post a video about him?
I can do yeah I’ll add it to the video list!
@@KingAbzTV thank you!
Love the channel. Ive been playing through all the campaigns again on hard and I love the lore. Also love the PVP videos too. Brings back fun memories when I was a kid.
thank you! I love the Gears lore and I've got many lore videos planned!
@@KingAbzTV looking forward to watching them. I'm currently watching through all your older videos now.
Can you cover the locust lambernt wars in the comics brother ?
Yeah of course bro I’ll add it to the video list, got quite a few planned!
@@KingAbzTV respect g
Okay seriously I want a Gears of War game where you play as the locusts, Fighting the lambent in the Nexus and fighting the Gears on Emergence day that would be awesome 😎👍💯
Marcus fenix"hold my lancer gun"
My 2nd favourite Locust, should have brought him back in Gears 5 as a fusion with Niles
2:52 Damn I need that voiceline in-game for meatshots~
RAAM has one thing in common with other locust. Couldnt survive a battle with Delta
Amazing work and sorry I’ve been gone I had acid in my eye
thank you bro and what happened?! Really hope you're okay man
@@KingAbzTV ya it was in chemistry and we thought we got it all off so when i got home I Rubbed my eye were the acid was so got in my eye
the reason why i'm scared of Gears of war !
Are their any other stories of the uir
I loved this comic. It gave me a whole new perspective on the grubs.
For some reason I saw the pic of the video and was like is he a halo brute? Then I was like ooh him, 100% not a brute. Though imagine if they make a popular brute with the same name
Raam the locust Doomguy ' doomed by locust fate
❤️
Don’t mess with RAAM… unless it’s multiplayer. Have your wicked way with him.
Marcus Fenix Said make Raam look like a goddamn push over
I wish they make a gears of war game about rise of raam as u playing as raam and trying to kill the lambets
Hi hello again
Hello!
3:04 is that a doom reference
Everyone: general ramm is so hard!!1!1!11
Me: blind shot kills him with a sniper 💀
There's alot more stories they can tell with general RAAM because let's not forget the fact that this took place a few years before the locust human war began and RAAM died 10 years into the locust human war so there could be dozens of more stories they can fit in in between those events. I don't just wanna see raams rise and death because I already know that I wanna see the atrocities he inflicted on humanity during the war. we only know 2 people that have been killed by RAAM, Alecia Valera and Minh young Kim.
Only Marcus Fenix can mess with RAAM
What next don't mess with skorge 😂😂😂😂😂😂
You never know 👀😂
Anyone else here respect RAAM more than Prescott?

Is there still someone making gears lore/comics furthering the lore of gears of war or is it hauled till another gears game comes out?
I thought the Speaker would be the next Raam
RAAM Should've been the XBOX exclusive character on Mortal Kombat 9
Fuego
Hearing locus say fuck is weird
Do you think RAAM could beat a Hunter from halo in a 1v1 hand to hand combat? Abz what do u think?
Yes I believe so, but there are larger lekgolo colonies as opposed to the standard Hunters as well
Imagine if Raam became Lambent
Nightmare to look at, but probably just shy off the threat level of a Lambent Berserker.
They killed him off too soon
He was a last minute character which honestly I would've like to see more of his character
General Raam was not so tough when he got smacked around by Uzil Sraak. He was also not impressive when he was killed by Marcus Fenix and Dominic Santiago during the Lightmass Offensive.
Raam killing locust doesn't make any sense. The Locust are supposed to be better than humans. They're supposed to be unified
Marcus and Dom effed around and Raam found out.
Don't mess with RAAM unless you're Marcus Fenix.
A locust and lambert game would be super cool.
Man screw the folklore I single handedly killed General Raam with my lancer on Insane!!!
So RAAM can man handle a lambent horde with his trust blade, but can’t beat two gears (Marcus and dom) with kryll on his side 🤦🏻♂️
