Gears 1 is the easiest to do on insane. The hammerburst melts enemies, it has some puzzle combat, enemies don't spawn constantly, and they like to ignore cover. RAAM flipping sucks and honestly the only way to beat him is to abuse cover and grenade spam so that he gets stuck.
My friend and I loved GoW2 horde mode. We would play it for hours, getting into the hundreds of rounds before we get killed to just start another round of horde. Some of my favorite memories from childhood.
Same man, me and my bro played it for hours just starting a game, eventually failing and going again, always enjoyed it more with just the two of us over having a full team. Horde was amazing
The wall is a great subversion of expectation, thinking the Berserker would bash through the wall, no she just walks through the side entrance for a shocking jumpscare
Man, I remember doing this on GoW1 and 2 way back, it was absolutely brutal, even with co-op. That feeling when you reached the end, though? Fantastic.
Doing this solo on 2 was painfully brutal, became massively better at using a sniper in all shooters for a while after beating it though. I think coop is a huge decrease in difficulty though, the revive system actually working is a huge positive.
Solo Insane Gears 2 is still to this day the hardest thing I've ever accomplished in a video game. I was stuck on the bit right before you find Maria for AGES.
I love gow so much. Me and my brother played all the games on insane, and regularly go back down memory lane and play them again. I would be so happy if you continue this as a series.
a little TOO positive.. I am a bit tired of all the positivity in youtube comments now. TH-cam is becoming this weird 1984 universe where any negative comments are being destroyed.
These games are my favorite of all time. Started my gears 1-5 insane playthrough about a year ago. Currently halfway through gears 4. Gears 3 was a nightmare. Many breaks needed
the cpu's on insane aren't useless, yeah they don't kill anything but they are the best meatshields, since their health scales UP with difficulty they will tank for you a lot
This video released at a perfect time, doing the 100% for Gears of War 2 and I'm still 998,500 kills away from getting the Seriously 2.0 achievement. I always put your videos as background noise when I'm doing Horde mode achievements. Keep up the good work Snam, love it!
I got Gears of War on the day of release not long after getting my Xbox 360. I was totally blown away by it until my first playthrough ended and I realised how short it was. I then went for all cogs and insane mode and I remember getting so stuck in the mansion and at General RAAM. Can't even remember if I used the turret or not. 😅
You really know how to tell a story. Permanent grin on my face during these videos. P.S. the memories of the guitar riff after the last enemy death really takes me back.
Fun fact about the multiplayer achievements if enough people left the lobby it wouldnt track ANY of your progress to any achievements that match. So naturally a loosing team would just quit the match as a virtual middle finger.
@@josephzayas3715hey my dude, I stopped at the Sires in GoW 2, couldn't keep up and decided the achievements weren't really worth it after I got the game WAYY after the servers died off, so i just played casually on hardcore and normal depending on what I struggled with. Salute to everyone stronger than I that has completed all the games on insane
Oh boy. I remember this game, fond memories. The funny thing is that you it is MUCH harder to play it in co-op than alone. This is because when a player controlled character is knocked out, he dies immediately and you both lose. When it is an AI they just fall down and need a pick up. Sure, they can be killed in that position but it is marginally easier from an instant game over. My brother and I, who played this game together, had to do a single player runs in Insane to get this achievement. Otherwise, you both lose your mind. Great video! Need more Gears!
Actually one of my favourite content creators! love how you condense a very long stream in to a great, entertaining video. Glad to see the channels doing well!
The Gears games started my journey into replaying games I've played in the past on their hardest difficulty (Evil Within's AKUMU, Dead Space 2 and 3's Hardcore modes, Outlast's Insane difficulty, MW1 Veteran, etc), and the results? Think of it like a Hellraiser movie, pain and suffering, mixed with a good time
This is the game that made me buy an Xbox 360 after playing it at a friends house. I played through that campaign on insane multiple times solo before I got a 100’ Ethernet to run through my house and have my mom hate it lol. Got every achievement and then put probably 1000+ hours into ranked after getting seriously… This game started my love for gaming and will always have a special place in my heart
Watching this unlocked so many memories of trying to survive the mansion holdout. Loved playing these games on insanity solo but 5 was too much for me, can’t wait to see you try :)
i had no idea the turret was that effective. i had to use the bug where he can get stuff on the environment and you blind fire until he dies. this game was way more enjoyable on the hardest difficulties.
keep this series rolling. I have played the gears games so much and i got MOST of the achievements aside from multiplayer cause those were just impossible
No way!! hats off to you man, i couldnt imagine doing 5 on the hardest difficulty it was tough enough on normal - but i might go back and give 4 and 5 a try on Hardest difficulties
One of the few games I got 100% completion on. I will always remember the moment I unlocked "Seriously..." From the campaign, I remember it be pretty easy, except for this turret section at the end where I *had* to get someone to come play co-op with me to pass it. Haven't finished the video yet, but my prediction is that will be a pain haha.
I remember going through the Gears series on the hardest difficulty, I never felt it was that bad, yes I died a couple of times, but other games were far more brutal in terms of difficulty
It's not gruelling it's just not fun, insane in GOW 1 is the best with 2/3 being the hardest, but overall I've avoided it for years because it just removes a lot of the fun of the sandbox like gnasher and chainsaw kills because it's too risky to close distance, your lack of health and the increase in enemy health turns everything into peaking with the lancer or using longshot but even that suffers from having to headshot a enemy as many as three times It's a fun challenge if you want to make gears unfair but for a replay I always do hardcore because it's not easy but not too difficult and you can do more
The trick to this used to be that you got the multiplayer achievement first so that you entered Insane mode as a god, hitting all your headshots and active reloads perfectly.
I have all the achievements on Gears of War 1. Including Seriously. I got that achievement legit and you get a gamerpic for unlocking it which I still have assigned to my Xbox profile to this day!
I found this to be the easiest in the trilogy. To this day, I never beat Gears 3 on default Campaign on Insane. I needed to switch to Arcade against Myrrah.
People who only played the remaster will never know the sheer pain Raam caused on the original. Basically Raam on insane in the remake was hard-core on the original 360 version.
If you want an additional G.o.W challenge, the inconceivable difficulties in the new series (4&5) were LEAGUES more difficult than insane, and while I’ve beat both on that difficulty, I definitely had to step away from the game at a few points. It’s all about figuring out the ranges the enemies can gank you, because the have the WONDERFUL habit of rushing you with gnasher shotties while you’re pinned down from longer range enemies. The problem is that you have a much shorter effective shotgun range compared to the grunts,but in many cases you need to be close. On top of that the boss enemies like the pouncers are super aggressive especially when you’re in cover so you have to not only dodge their attacks but you have to keep moving and relocate your cover constantly
Man I’ve heard! I’d love to do it in 5 if people enjoy seeing the Gears series on the channel. (Also the less gore option would save me like 3 hours of editing lmao)
@@Snamwiches I think 5 would be a fun one for a video! or at least as fun as the game will let it be lol. If I remember right 5 was a bit more doable but there was A LOT of resetting when I did it. Then again I have the dexterity of a worm so don’t take my word for it
Honestly gears 4 campaign on insane was probably the most difficult run I did compared to every other gears before and after. though I did find it a lot easier on inconceivable to be honest, due to the enemies not being bullet sponges.
As a GoW veteran, it's hilarious watching you be a newbie trying to clear the hardest difficulty. You actually struggled with a lot of parts I found easy, and I inversely struggled with a lot of spots not highlighted in the video. The only oddity to me was how lethal the Lambent were to you. I don't remember them being all that dangerous, even on Insane. The most rage-inducing shit was definitely the Torque Bow. You can't even melee Theron Guards if they have a shot active, since there's a 95% chance it sticks you, or just hits the floor under you feet and kills you anyway. You can usually saw them safely, but the games are finicky about when/if you are invincible during a chainsaw animation in the campaign.
I played gears for 11 years, was a huge fan of the series and must’ve played 30,000 matches throughout the titles. I remember doing Gears 1-3 on insane difficulty solo, thinking I’d be done in a week. Hell to the freaking no, it took me almost a month and some levels are so difficult to do solo, that I literally spent hours on one missions multiple times. Gears 4 up this difficulty and strangely I’ve never beaten it solo but I have the Inconceivable achievement for doing it solo… after the 4 mission it gave me the achievement, still don’t understand why. Gears 3 I’m blocked from getting all the medals as 5 of them never unlocked and I’ve done them multiple times. So I’m stuck with 1 achievement for the last like 10 years. Although I quit gears back in 2018 as the game because stale for me, and collation seems to not know what they’re doing and doesn’t feel like gears since Epic left. But I’d give anything to play gears 1-3 multiplayer again as they was my best moments with this series.
the memories, my brother got seriously and seriously 2.0 for gears 1 and 2 and we did the campaign co-op on insane and it was some of the most fun I've ever had
Ok, how does Snam always have best damn timing, I was done watching your WaW video and was just hoping for a new vid and here we are lmao. Your content always put a smile on my face and hope you're good bro 🙂
@@Snamwiches We all appreciate ya bro, personally I'm not much of a Twitch viewer anymore but I truly need to stop by the stream to check out the madness live lol
This achievement really demonstrates why high difficulty in a 3rd person cover shooter makes the game worse. It’s not fun to spend most of the fight hiding behind cover waiting for your health to refill.
@@thebeatmajors_yt highly doubt he was shoving an agenda in our face, it’s literally a fun fact that most people don’t know 😂 idk who hurt you, but get some help please 🙏
I literally did this Achievement solely because everyone said it was impossible and More importantly so I could have a Chrome Sawed Off in Gears 3 Multiplayer. 2 days of grinding and it was mine. One of my best gaming achievements! Congratulations fam
I was in the middle of watching a amazing movie and if you think ima stop watching that movie to come watch Snamwiches new video, you god dam right I am.
I’ve completed all the insane difficulties for the original gears trilogy and if you plan on doing this for Gears 3 that last boss fight is so frustratingly hard. They’re satisfying and fun for sure but man some of the bosses are tough
Not only is "Seriously..." difficult to obtain legit, its also notoriously buggy. Kills don't count in some modes, sometimes they won't count if a player quits (good luck playing a single match without a quitter), and it may not pop at 10k exactly. For example, I have over 13k kills with no achievement. I could host some boosting sessions to get it (I might be a few kills away, or a few thousand, who knows) but I just gave up on it and moved on.
Pro tip if you ever get stuck by a torque bow then immediately chainsaw the closest enemy you find as if you can chainsaw an enemy the game will forget you were stuck to begin with giving you 100% damage resistance until the chainsaw animation ends. This only works in story mode for most of the games as far as I have seen.
@19:50 this spot with the torque bows took me so long to beat as a kid when i tried to beat this game in insane solo, i eventually beat it but it took a few days lol
Hey Snam!!! Thank you so much for doing Gears of War. This is one of my childhood favorites as well as halo. No one ever does this achievement and it sucks 😅. Love your videos!!!
Brings back memories... especially with the torkbows and the final boss fight. I thought I'll never beat it, but after countless attempts the boss stuck on one spot, and I was lucky enough taht the fliers from the sides didn't kill me, and once it was really close...
This brought back memories when I completed gears on insane. Had to check the other gears games and did it on Gears 2 also. 2007/2008 were good years for gaming.
Maaan, me and my friend decided to grind out all of the ranked achievements out in one weekend. Except seriously. I was stoked when I realised we were top 10 in the weekly (and possibly monthly) leaderboards at the time! Good memories.
Doing this as a kid was the most rage inducing thing ever I went through. I got so mad I stopped playing for and put in a different game which I had never heard of it just so happened to be Dragon Age Orgins and my love for RPG's blossomed from there I never went back and got this achievement.
Ah yes the good ol insanity achievement in all the gears games is an experience i won't soon forget. It is amazing and a bit frustrating at times to go for this achievement I'm glad snam is finally getting to my favorite series in all of gaming and that he's enjoying it
Initially I wrote a comment reminiscing about Gears but after seeing that Raam fight I’m so mad. I had no idea the turret resulted in ‘ez clapping’ and spent numerous attempts unloading every weapon I had into Raam and it was stress. Good run, makes me wanna play Gears again.
"active reload fails" reminds me of something i heard somewhere... there's an achievement for succeeding at the "active reload" microgame FIFTY TIMES IN A ROW.
I beat gears on insane shortly after it came out. The encounter i hated the most was RAAM at the very end. That part alone took at least 15 hours of trying before beating it
That guy who just randomly teleported in even though he was the last enemy deserves to get all the Locust women for being the one to assassinate Marcus Fenix lmao
I love how Snam goes “well we physically can’t get the most difficult achievement, we might as well put myself through just as much pain and go for the second hardest…”
I still want seriously too though haha
that's not a "hard" achievement, that's a "grind" achievement
@@Snamwiches It's very much doable. Just gonna take A LOT of TA sessions lmao
Come on lads lets bring gears multiplayer back online so snam can get his achievement
@@Snamwichesthe 3rd gears still has a minimum to moderate online community so if there is another achievement like the first I’d do it now.

Although I quit gears back in 2018 as the game because stale for me, and collation seems to not know what they’re doing and doesn’t feel like gears since Epic left. But I’d give anything to play gears 1-3 multiplayer again as they was my best moments with this series.
This may be the greyest game ever made
Loved this. What a fantastic game series. You made this super entertaining
Had to pause my re4 game to watch this 😂
the memories, my brother got seriously and seriously 2.0 for gears 1 and 2 and we did the campaign co-op on insane and it was some of the most fun I've ever had
Ok, how does Snam always have best damn timing, I was done watching your WaW video and was just hoping for a new vid and here we are lmao.
Your content always put a smile on my face and hope you're good bro 🙂
I do it for you my man
@@Snamwiches
We all appreciate ya bro, personally I'm not much of a Twitch viewer anymore but I truly need to stop by the stream to check out the madness live lol
The berserkers are locust women and are absolutely terrifying
The locust are lucky to have so many muscle mommies tbh
This achievement really demonstrates why high difficulty in a 3rd person cover shooter makes the game worse. It’s not fun to spend most of the fight hiding behind cover waiting for your health to refill.
It makes it bettter
I lov how he keeps referring to the Berserkers as him, when canonically speaking all the Berserkers are female.
"IT'S MA'AM!!!!!"
Also, couldn’t help but notice you referring to the Berserkers as “him.” Fun fact: All Berserker enemies are female 🤗
It's a video game 😂
and? have you played this game? The berserker is female somehow idk looks like a male monster but anyway.
@@thebeatmajors_yt highly doubt he was shoving an agenda in our face, it’s literally a fun fact that most people don’t know 😂 idk who hurt you, but get some help please 🙏
@@thebeatmajors_yt bro doesn’t know the point of a fun fact
Bro. I was literally just watching one of you videos! Thank you Snam
As a career doubter my favourite part was hearing a very certain deep Locust voice go: "BOOM!"
I literally did this Achievement solely because everyone said it was impossible and More importantly so I could have a Chrome Sawed Off in Gears 3 Multiplayer. 2 days of grinding and it was mine. One of my best gaming achievements! Congratulations fam
"You're probably gonna have to roll out more than Optimus Prime" pure gold
Hope to see Gears 2 and 3 insane walkthrough in the future!
I was in the middle of watching a amazing movie and if you think ima stop watching that movie to come watch Snamwiches new video, you god dam right I am.
I'm a happy man seeing this game still being played.
Missed oipportunity to call this video "This Achievement grinded my Gears of War"
holy shit keep up the great work!!! I love watching achievement hunting and your videos are easily my favorite.
I’ve completed all the insane difficulties for the original gears trilogy and if you plan on doing this for Gears 3 that last boss fight is so frustratingly hard. They’re satisfying and fun for sure but man some of the bosses are tough
Not only is "Seriously..." difficult to obtain legit, its also notoriously buggy. Kills don't count in some modes, sometimes they won't count if a player quits (good luck playing a single match without a quitter), and it may not pop at 10k exactly. For example, I have over 13k kills with no achievement. I could host some boosting sessions to get it (I might be a few kills away, or a few thousand, who knows) but I just gave up on it and moved on.
Bro that’s gonna be miserable if I decide to do it, sorry it didn’t end up popping for you
@Snamwiches wish you all the luck! If you need a player, let me know!
I would like to see you suffer through the entire Gears franchise Snam. No cap. Full send. ❤
That Purdue joke is still quite relevant. RIP march madness bracket 2024
So glad I’m awake 🥰. This was before my time watching snam on twitch, I love this 😂
The horde mode for GoW3... a lot of good memories, including playing online and stuff. Nice memories
Thanks for the suffering, Snam
This game is very hard on Insane difficulty. I finished only 2 acts. The act 3 is very insane. NICE JOB BRO!!✌😉
Pro tip if you ever get stuck by a torque bow then immediately chainsaw the closest enemy you find as if you can chainsaw an enemy the game will forget you were stuck to begin with giving you 100% damage resistance until the chainsaw animation ends.
This only works in story mode for most of the games as far as I have seen.
@19:50 this spot with the torque bows took me so long to beat as a kid when i tried to beat this game in insane solo, i eventually beat it but it took a few days lol
Hey Snam!!! Thank you so much for doing Gears of War. This is one of my childhood favorites as well as halo. No one ever does this achievement and it sucks 😅. Love your videos!!!
Those Berserkers in the first one scare me still to this day
I love every time he roasts himself. Great video as always man!
Brings back memories... especially with the torkbows and the final boss fight. I thought I'll never beat it, but after countless attempts the boss stuck on one spot, and I was lucky enough taht the fliers from the sides didn't kill me, and once it was really close...
This brought back memories when I completed gears on insane. Had to check the other gears games and did it on Gears 2 also. 2007/2008 were good years for gaming.
Maaan, me and my friend decided to grind out all of the ranked achievements out in one weekend. Except seriously.
I was stoked when I realised we were top 10 in the weekly (and possibly monthly) leaderboards at the time!
Good memories.
also i finally finished gears ultimate edition on insane, did act 1 to act 4 in one day
Doing this as a kid was the most rage inducing thing ever I went through. I got so mad I stopped playing for and put in a different game which I had never heard of it just so happened to be Dragon Age Orgins and my love for RPG's blossomed from there I never went back and got this achievement.
22:20 love how casually the berserker walks through that door xD
I love snamwiches content even when he's in pain he keeps being cheerful I wish other content creators would be the same keep up the good work 👏
What a nice surprise to end the night. Thanks man!
Gears of War is such a great trilogy, really hope he does all of them.
Ahh gears of War one of my most favorite games of all times. Just love the lore.
you need to upload more my guy because im loving this content your putting out!
I can whole heartedly say this franchise is my all time favourite with me getting all the seriously achievements on all the gears games
For me, raam is definitely the most difficult thanks to his pigeons pecking my brains out every 3 seconds
Ah yes the good ol insanity achievement in all the gears games is an experience i won't soon forget. It is amazing and a bit frustrating at times to go for this achievement I'm glad snam is finally getting to my favorite series in all of gaming and that he's enjoying it
Love me some gears dude, peak 3rd person shooter
Initially I wrote a comment reminiscing about Gears but after seeing that Raam fight I’m so mad. I had no idea the turret resulted in ‘ez clapping’ and spent numerous attempts unloading every weapon I had into Raam and it was stress. Good run, makes me wanna play Gears again.
I agree. 5 was good but 1-3 were magic
"active reload fails" reminds me of something i heard somewhere...
there's an achievement for succeeding at the "active reload" microgame FIFTY TIMES IN A ROW.
I beat gears on insane shortly after it came out. The encounter i hated the most was RAAM at the very end. That part alone took at least 15 hours of trying before beating it
That guy who just randomly teleported in even though he was the last enemy deserves to get all the Locust women for being the one to assassinate Marcus Fenix lmao
Thank you for this video. Gears of war has always been one of my favorite shooters ever.
I would love to see a video for the unexpected secuel!
Great vid as always!
