Even though Marcus and Anya were more or less an item throughout the games, they didn't delve into it and rather let the books do it which I give props to Epic for going with that.
Oliver Really? How did they "ruin" it? It felt fine in Gears 3. Really, Anya and Marcus ended the war with their comrades and were finally able to have a future together. I don't have an issue with it in Gears 4 either. Given what happened, it makes sense that Kait and James are going to be much more closer now because of it.
Mine is still "Don't interrupt me." But that one is context-dependent; it doesn't really have its full effect unless you know he was in Doom and had just used a shotgun to kill an Imp that was rushing the stage.
Never played a Gears game, and was expecting this to be a timely plug video that read more as a press release about behind the scenes of Gear 4. Very pleasantly surprised! Great vid.
I like Cliffy B's story, I like it when developers use personal life as an inspiration for the game, makes the game better and more relate able/unique.
Almost every writer, not just a game writer, draws from their personal experiences while creating a story. Size and brand recognition have little to do with the writer's choice to say it out loud.
+Exiled Mind While everyone who cares about a thing they are creating draws from life experience, it's often the case that the inspiration and relatability is strongest when the life experience being drawn from is very fresh and/or very impactful. Cliffy B had just gone through a divorce, so influences related to that felt even more genuine.
Favorite bit in Gears 2 is when your underground and do some sniper practice to a group of locust way in the background and your hear Marcus go as you shoot them " Thats one, Thats two! Thats three! Thats four! Thats five, motherfuckers! " love that bit to fucking bits man.
"Marcus shouting 'nice' was inspired by Ferguson himself who'd often say the word." That's like saying some character lives in a house because the creator lives in a house.
Ive been a fan of gears since picking up that second player controller way back in the day and playing as Dom for the first time..... Rest in Peace brother!
Nah, they were always Muscly McMusclemen. They only reason they looked more buff in GOW 3 was because it was summer and they changed into their summer attire (lighter armor, no sleeves), according to the in-game lore.
man, i fucking loved gears of war. i even enjoyed judgement despite its many flaws, gears 3 and halo reach where literally 90% of my childhood. i even told my maths teacher i couldnt attend detention because a relative was dying just so i could get home and play gears 3 on its day of release. the books where actually my introduction to the series, i read through aspho fields and bought the game.
why dose the PC version have a games for Windows vista thing on the top I thought it was a windows 10 exclusive? assuming there's 2 PC versions do they both have the extra chapters?
Games for Windows was Microsofts attempt to make a steam-like hub for their games. it was a neat little overlay that you could see in-game. It flopped and they stopped supporting it a few years ago. I remember because it made my copy of Halo 2 unplayable.
Am I the only one who thinks the large, flat, circular plates on the chest of the human soldier's armour look like aga hob plates/cooker hobs? Everytime I beat a wave in Horde mode, I was expecting my character to take the front half off and start cooking with it like it's an improvised camping stove.
I wanted this episode to keep going.. I want all of the videos to be longer. I love learning stuff about my favorite games. All compacted so I don't read a two page article that leaves me with the same information I've read 6 times before by the end of it.
I know just about every bit of lore and facts about gears of war, ive played them all on the hardest difficulty and ive been in love with the games ever since I was 9. sometimes id watch a "facts you dont know about gears" and Id know everything they said, but this video was different. I actually learned something I didn't before. So congrats on actually diving into the game history and finding more
Did you know? Gears of War receives far more hate than it deserves. Every Gears game (excluding Judgment) is fantastic and improves upon the genre so much with each iteration.
Not really. Gow 1, 2, and 3 are almost one exact same game. Judgement did have some changes for better or worse, but got alot of backlash from fans. 4 they did try something new and i can respect that. But as for the hate goes i kinda agree. This gaming franchise is good, sometimes great, but FAR from the best.
Can you do a Mafia game series vid!!! thats if you can, i dunno if it has much for you to go on, but I think is most likely does, anyways it'd be dope!
Gears of War is easily one of my favorite trilogies. Of course it was a trilogy... But i seriously love it. Easily the best 3rd person shooter game. I haven't played Gears 4 yet but i plan on it soon enough.
It's maily because it was overhyped, it didn't live up to the trailer, and also has aged (for the most part) terribly. Also the fact that people call this the greatest gaming franchise of all time is an insult to other gaming franchises.
In all honesty I like all 3 equally, even at their worst the Gears games have always been pretty quality shooters. 1 was a proof of concept essentially, a really good proof of concept but I have to agree that 3 is where everything get refined to a nice shine. Still need to get 4 though.
Gears 3 lost its gloomy tone. Gears 1 & Gears 2 are preferable to me as a fan who has played all 3 games. Not only that, Gears 3's campaign wasn't memorable.
Someone saying a dark place is Pitch Black isn't a reference to the movie, it's someone saying it's pitch black. You can't just try to make up connections to references when there is none.
i might not like this series, but i'll give them credit for that Clayton death. that's hilarious and shows they have a sense of humor...too bad the entire series can't be like that...
Ahhh...I remember hating those enemies with a passion but loving their weapons...I played exclusively horde mode for a while after campaign was done...I think it was gears 3 despite my memories of it being that one map where you spawn on some stairs, I guess it was ported.
Dude, those Star Wars inspired names. So explicit! Wooker? Endorfeed? Alderaania? Bespina? They even got the obscure character Wuher, the cantina bartender. And Ponda, the guy who gets his arm cut off in the cantina. Evazon is the guy who threatens Luke before Ponda attacks him. Ozzle was a an Admiral, the first one choked by Vader in Empire Strikes Back. Landus=Lando. Atata=AT-AT walker. Boska=Bossk the bounty hunter. Dunese probably is a reference to the Dune Sea on Tatooine, and the Doon Sea is even more explicit. Gungurn Sea=Gungans. Echo Sea=Echo Base on Hoth. George Sea=George Lucas. Corellian Sea=Corellia the planet. Organa Major=Leia's adopted last name Organa. Bothica=Bothans. Shaakti=Shaak Ti, a jedi. I guess Carbon is for Carbonite. Ankorhead=Anchorhead.
Super D D Super Oh we do plenty of growing on our own if you know what I mean bb ;) We're like the biggest and no one else is playing this game so I don't know what you're talking about!
The “Ephyra Rising” novel is going to be great because Hoffman is in it. Good job, Karen Traviss. Eventually, humans or the Swarm will inhabit space satellites while dropping bombs and rocks down Sera’s gravity well. If humans don’t get there first, they’ll be forced to live in the few underground facilities that still have geothermal power.
"Then we saw "2012" and we realized, that idea was just dumb" lol, that burn
"I love that chainsaw" - Bill Gates
Well, he did a special Doom-themed ad for Windows 95.
With a shotgun
lol Bill was a badass
So what we know about this game, is that there is literally nothing interesting to note about it.
O__O Bill?
I like that they fought to have no romance in the game. I don't need romance in everything. Sometimes I just want fun movies or games.
Even though Marcus and Anya were more or less an item throughout the games, they didn't delve into it and rather let the books do it which I give props to Epic for going with that.
Then they ruined all that in Gears 3 and 4!
Oliver Really? How did they "ruin" it? It felt fine in Gears 3. Really, Anya and Marcus ended the war with their comrades and were finally able to have a future together. I don't have an issue with it in Gears 4 either. Given what happened, it makes sense that Kait and James are going to be much more closer now because of it.
Yea I agree with that romance would have killed the game for me so I'm glad they skipped passed that.
"I love that chainsaw" is now my favourite Bill Gates quote.
I love the image of Bill Gates playing Gears tbh
Want fire cod points? Google this code: KYSCUNT69420
Same thought crossed my mind.
Mine is still "Don't interrupt me." But that one is context-dependent; it doesn't really have its full effect unless you know he was in Doom and had just used a shotgun to kill an Imp that was rushing the stage.
At least since the Red Robin Wedding everybody knows how badass Bil Gates is.
the gears one mad world trailer is my favorite trailer of all time
Me to
"... Found out that he enjoys it more when Marcus is suffering..."
Welcome to the joys of being a writer
As a writer, I can confirm making characters suffer is very fun.
MonkeyxMoo why is that though, every story i write it seems unhealthy that i like how much the character suffers, it makes no sense to me
Love me some Gears. Easily one of the best shooters of the decade. And it just feels so good to play, too.
"I love that chainsaw"
Never would have imagined that coming out of Bill Gates mouth
thank you for keeping the chainsaw, that is one of the best aspects about the Gears of War series
No problem g.
Never played a Gears game, and was expecting this to be a timely plug video that read more as a press release about behind the scenes of Gear 4. Very pleasantly surprised! Great vid.
Always found Gears of War to be a very creative title.
Ayaya!
If it wasn't a game it would make a badass band name
I think they made a metal song for the credits of gears 3, would've been their debut track.
And depressing.
Well if God of war didn't exist then I would agree
Man, that "Nice!" catchphrase really caught on. Can't believe that bro came up with it. What an inspiration.
I like Cliffy B's story, I like it when developers use personal life as an inspiration for the game, makes the game better and more relate able/unique.
***** Yeah those games aren't big as Gears then.
Almost every writer, not just a game writer, draws from their personal experiences while creating a story. Size and brand recognition have little to do with the writer's choice to say it out loud.

Cliffy B had just gone through a divorce, so influences related to that felt even more genuine.
Yeah when you're going through tough shit, you can either create or destroy. Cliff chose to create
Same thing with Gears 3 which was inspired heavily as well by the loss of his father.
I love this series and could play it all day.
Has anyone else got the Cole Train Rap stuck in their head now
Woo! Yeah! Bring it on sucker! This my kind of s***! xD
The Joker why was it never released on iTunes is beyond me
Favorite bit in Gears 2 is when your underground and do some sniper practice to a group of locust way in the background and your hear Marcus go as you shoot them " Thats one, Thats two! Thats three! Thats four! Thats five, motherfuckers! " love that bit to fucking bits man.
"Marcus shouting 'nice' was inspired by Ferguson himself who'd often say the word."
That's like saying some character lives in a house because the creator lives in a house.
We all know that Doms death hit us like a truck...
yeah
Was he driving a truck when he died?
Yes
Berserker
That makes sense, lol
The dead of Maria still gets me
Dom's still gets me.
nothing compared to dom
Did You Know Gaming - Metal Slug?
Why on Earth didn't Lyle narrate this one
lol you're so fucking right man they should have done that
Because Marcus' dad isn't mentioned ;)
Love that Day of the Dead was mentioned! This and Dawn of the Dead (1978) are my two favorite Zombie films.
the first one blew me outta the water I had NO idea gears started out that way!
Ive been a fan of gears since picking up that second player controller way back in the day and playing as Dom for the first time.....
Rest in Peace brother!
I feel like everyone got beefed up in the 3rd game
Nah, they were always Muscly McMusclemen. They only reason they looked more buff in GOW 3 was because it was summer and they changed into their summer attire (lighter armor, no sleeves), according to the in-game lore.

Oh my god did it work
@@BigBoy257 yes. Absolutely an awful thing to do. But I got outta detention.
Finally, I've waited for this for so long.

Yep, worse then Hitler. It rendered my copy of Section 8 unplayable. What's worse is it's the only way to play it, since there is no digital release.
Plague Doctor I liked it when it actually worked.

That was an informative and well constructed video. Thanks for that I learnt a lot
Why is Bill Gates such a bad ass?

Awesome video even though I haven't seen anything in this video yet wanting some attention because why the heck not?
I love that CliffyB is both a gigantic nerd and kind of a frat bro at the same time.
I played the 1st game in the past thinking it would be decent. It turns out that I loved it.
man i wish we could get back to the good old days where shooters could be online multiplayer and have a badass storyline
i always thought he was called general raam as a random acess memeory joke
Very interesting. Thank you!
The golden days of Gears :')
Wow, Cliffy B's kind of an edgelord.
Yeah, I remember that being practically a meme at the time
Wow can't wait for your game bro that's going to be a hit and have many sequels.
+3rd World Gamer "You're not a director, so you can't critique my movie"
***** Yeah as if the so called "critics" here are criticizing smartly.
*****
Nobody has said a single thing about the game, what in the name of fuck are you talking about?
Killzone, Resistance, Gears of War. Alien Warfare FPS shoot em up, THOSE ARE DARK THE GODS OF FPS GAMING! (In a good way). Great looking concept.
Malcolm solves his problems with a chainsaw. Malcolm solves his problems with a chainsaw. And he never has the same problem twice
Gears of War is easily one of my favorite trilogies. Of course it was a trilogy... But i seriously love it. Easily the best 3rd person shooter game. I haven't played Gears 4 yet but i plan on it soon enough.
"Did you know, the color of the sky in the game got inspiration from the actual sky color ?"
im so happy with the choices they did with gears 2. that game is easily the best in the series imo
About time! haha this is awesome.
Ironic how nowadays companies are focused on multiplayer over single player. EA even went as far as (erroneously) stating single player is dead.
thank you this deserves a dykg more then any nintendo franchise
Who knew that the movie 2012 would have actually led to something good and enjoyable.
Isnt it hard to believe epic games went from small games to Gears of war and fortnite?
What's with all the Gears of War hate? Gears is a fantastic franchise!
It's maily because it was overhyped, it didn't live up to the trailer, and also has aged (for the most part) terribly. Also the fact that people call this the greatest gaming franchise of all time is an insult to other gaming franchises.
Just ps fanboys screaming. Gears is excellent game. Love it
any chance of a tales series video, please?
Yay!!! It's brutalmoose. Love ya
Can you do gears of war things you don't know part 2
Am I alone in liking Gears 1 way more than the rest of the series? Just curious.
To me, Gears 3 was the pinnacle
In all honesty I like all 3 equally, even at their worst the Gears games have always been pretty quality shooters. 1 was a proof of concept essentially, a really good proof of concept but I have to agree that 3 is where everything get refined to a nice shine. Still need to get 4 though.

I'm sure Ian will get lots of people to check out his kid's adventure game video from a Gears video. I'm sure there is a lot of overlap.
It's General RAAM, pronounced "R-AH-M" ;)
They really need to remaster Gears 2. It is my absolute favorite game in the series, and it really needs to be remastered.
A priest at my church who looks and sounds like Jack Black has always loved Gears
Oops, thought this was a Rich Piana video, my bad.
no one gives a fuck loser I thought I should let you know how lame you are

What was your favorite version of the Hammmerburst? I liked GOW3's HammerBurst.
New campaign, new ip, new console? Those things are usually well placed together, it'd be harder to get a new IP passed on an older console.
It's crazy how much work they put into stories but I can't tell one thing about gears story.
do dead space next
When you dont even play the game, but you watch the episode anyway
Gears of War was the reason why I got my first job in high school
Kind of curious how now. I'm in my 3rd semester of college and I'm still struggling to get a position at KFC (or any fast food joint) as my first gig.

I wanted to hear stuff about why they decided to make Gears Judgement so bad...

Never a joy for Marcus Fenix. Damn they even went the extra mile in GoW 4 to make him suffer again and again
I had no idea Cliffy B was such a drama queen. I always thought he was pretty down to earth.
