Honourable Mentions 1. Maria Santiago 2. Benjamin Carmine 3. General RAAM 4. Adam Fenix 5. Clayton Carmine 6. Tai Kaliso 7. Victor Hoffman 8. Minh Young Kim 9. Garron Paduk 10. Dizzy Wallin
Reading the Karen Traviss books gave me a new love for so many characters. I love Dom, Hoffman, Cole, Bernie, Anya, all these characters so much more now. Dom especially. I'll always love Benjamin Carmine the most though and I wish there was something which explored just a bit more of his character. Bernie is definitely the greatest woman in Gears Of War, and perhaps a great example in most fiction. Especially as of late.
True, but we all first got hooked in by General Raam’s sheer badassry and that stinger ending with Skorge on his Hydra, who then properly introduces himself and saws a fucking tank in half.
Liked the video, but I feel like Baird was way undersold. The dudes a genius, he is almost solely responsible for Sera rebuilding itself after the Locust war.
12:15. Michael Barrick. My favourite character. The old school light-up-cigar scene is awesome. That cigar smoke just blew away all the political correctness.
@@emulation2369 would I be stupid for suggesting a game where you play as Raam and you fight against lambent in the hollow? What if it was a halo 2 style campaign with dual storylines? One locust one COG
@@Captain_Insano_nomercy Eh, I'd love it from a gameplay standpoint, but it wouldn't be good from a story point. It worked in halo 2 because Arbiter, and the rest of the Elites, were coming to see the truth of the Covenant lies and would turn into your allies by the end of the game. Meanwhile, RAAM and the rest of the Locust aren't fighting for ideals like the Covenant were, they're fighting for survival just as the Serans are, they can't coexist with each other, and the Locust would fight humanity and all until the last one.
If you had to have an honorable mention, it would have to be Hoffman. After all, he's featured in many of these clips. He was my main for a while. Honestly I think we all go through phases of our favorites though. For me they were Marcus, Dom, the Hof, Barrick, Bernie, Clayton. I love Myrrah, but I think everyone got sick of her voice in GOW3 lol. Plus the dumb hitbox advantage.
Ohhh shit, I cheered so hard when I saw Alex at #2 And that was bold of you to put her so up in the list but now that I think of I would place her even on a top 5 as minimal. I always loved her since I read Barren and still pisses me off to this day that she wasn't involved in Raam's Shadow, nor added as an additional DLC character for Gears 3 (In spite I do like Judgement, that multiplayer feels really empty so she didn't shined as she should). If we ever have another Gears prequel, I hope she is included in a campaign as well as multiplayer, one can still hope!
My favorites Cole Baird Tai Barrck Paduk Clay carmine General RAAM super mutant theron Giant with a cool under jaw Jermad the unique Sharpshooter like Theron Karn the mutant Kantus drone like hybrid Ukkon the weird looking kantus who made the monsters Skorge......hes ok i guess
I fucking DIED at the Terry Tate clip. Cole Train forever man gotta be #1 on my list. Gotta be! Damn Fine video. No Carmine no Dizzy, fucking a man. Solid sub from me. Gears for YEARS BABY WOOOWOOO!!!
I'm starting to read the books just now, I have been playing Gears of War since the release of the second entry and reading the books give me so many new layers of apreciation for the characters. I'm loving it and can't wait to see an announcement of Gears of War Marcus Fenix Collection so we can all go back and play OG Gears of War 2 horde, Gears of War 3 TDM and Gears of War 1 excellents multiplayer maps
Personally, my favorite has always been and always will be Clay Carmine. Dude just oozes badassery on par with Marcus and Cole, and his unique design is and character is so cool that he's always my go-to skin for multiplayer. He's also interesting as a character as well, considering he has to cope with the loss of his family while still surviving the impossible and fighting the good fight.
"[Marcus] finishes his fights." Remember the time when Aaron said he and Marcus were gonna 'settle this shit another time'? You'd think we'd hear of that.
@@1Diddums "We'll settle this sh*t another time, Fenix. You can count on that." [steps into little cable car and flips off Marcus as it goes away, never to be seen again]
There's so much I can about the video for starters I loved the clips that you used for each of the characters, brings back a lot of memories. Marcus cussing out Aaron Griffin more specifically. I love the mix of characters from the game and characters from the comics being mentioned, hopefully someday they will have their debut in games, hell even a cameo would be nice. And I love the fact that Baird made it to the list, personally he's top 5 for me.
Great list and video. Thanks! Although I had to chuckle when you said Baird could be cowardly and then showed him defying orders to save others when he knew the penalty would be death. I'm a Baird groupie though so don't mind me lol
man this franchise had some really powerful women, too bad when they tried to actually express that in a video game, she became the embarrassment of those before her lol
New to your channel but I like your videos so far glad to see no gears 4 or 5 characters on your list. Definitely would be hard to narrow it down to 10 but my number one is Bernie.
@@OMAHA16 When I read the first book I was absolutely blown away I was like this is better than the game so much detail so much more story and characters and at the time only the second game was out and I was worried Bernie would get killed off because she wasn’t in the games. So I kept thinking every time they got in a fire fight this is it she’s gonna die. But then she was in the trailer for gears of war 3. 🤦♂️😂🤣
My favorite cog character from each gears game. Gears of war 1 Dominic Santiago. Gears of war 2 Dissy Wallin Gears of war 3 Clayton Carmine Gears of war 4 Marcus Fenix Gears of war 5 Fhaz Chutani Gears of war tactics Sid Redburn Gears of war judgement Damon Baird
1. Dizzy is my guy 2. Kim such a great leader 3. Baird (scarcastic like me) 4. Marcus fenix 5. Dom 6. Cole train 7. Michael Barrick The others i cant choose past this point 😅 i love all the gears
Agreed, they messed up gears of War so bad with four & five I don't think Gears 6 would save the franchise. So I think gears of War should end in gears of War 3.
My personal 10 10. Clayton Carmine 9. Garron Paduk 8. Michael Barrick 7. Tai Kaliso 6. Victor Hoffman 5. General RAAM 4. Damon Baird 3. Augustus Cole 2. Dominic Santiago 1. Marcus Fenix
My top would be this: 1. Dominic Santiago 2. Tai Kaliso 3. Marcus Fènix 4. Damon Baird 5. Hoffman 6. Augustus Cole 7. Myrrah 8. Kait Diaz 9. Alex Brand 10. RAAM
Myrrah: I WILL NOT LET MY PEOPLE DIE, WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO LIVE! Me, Marcus, Baird, Sam, Cole, Anya, Dom, Dizzy, Prescott, Adam and carmine brothers unknown indies and Cog, Tai, Kim, Barrick, Alicia Jace, Paduk, Sophie, Hoffman and Bernie: Bruh
It’s funny. Most people think Gears of War is nothing but overly buff macho men who run the world they’re in, but there are a good amount of strong women in it. Like, why do they think Kait is the first? Anya, Bernie, Helena, and Alex are highly respected in the story of Gears, each who faced great trials and personal trauma’s, overcame them and became BEASTS in a world most may see as a man’s world. Not to mention, they are way better female characters than Kait. It just proves, you can have awesome females in any kind of media and they be accepted, just so long as they are well written and have something an audience can relate to or latch on to in some way or form. They don’t have to be...well, Kaits.
My top 5 5. Damon Baird Smart guy. Asshole. Love and hate. He made the DBs. And he a good fighter 4. Victor Hoffman He is the guy who's seen your shit and isn't impressed. I like him. He is cool, and good, and nice. 3. Chairman Prescott (whatever his first name was) I love to hate him. He's a goddamn bastard when you see him in Gears of war 3, but I still love him. He died a death of sad. 2. Garron Paduk THIS GUY! UIR sound and look epic in Gears 4 (Especially the Elite), and Garron is no exception. He may be not in Gears 4, but he's in Judgement, one of my favoured Gears games. Also he is badass 1. Dominic Santiago What can I say? When I played Gears of War, he was my character of choice. Gears 2 and 3, I always chose Dom. When he died, I bawled my eyes out for a solid 5 minutes, and hugged my Dad for another 10 (I was 7 at the time but still). He is the guy you're supposed to relate to. You can't relate to Marcus if you haven't been in war, (or lost family in the later parts of Gears of War 3).
I like how the Gears game are trying to force diversity, and yet the past characters are more likeable and serious than the newer people.
They want diversity eventhough GoW 3 was the most diverse in terms of characters both personality wise and gender wise and most people who want diversity are just nobodies on twitter.
force diversity always ruins good things
it's almost as if forcing diversity ruins series "looks back at all the ruined franchises"

Yes!!!!

Same bud, we all got angry at it.
honestly, my personal fave is Queen Myrrah, so im just happy that shes on the list.
My favorite character is, and always will be, Baird.

they made him a downer and made his jokes a sarcastic horrible

My top 5
5. Damon Baird
Smart guy. Asshole. Love and hate. He made the DBs. And he a good fighter
4. Victor Hoffman
He is the guy who's seen your shit and isn't impressed. I like him. He is cool, and good, and nice.
3. Chairman Prescott (whatever his first name was)
I love to hate him. He's a goddamn bastard when you see him in Gears of war 3, but I still love him. He died a death of sad.
2. Garron Paduk
THIS GUY! UIR sound and look epic in Gears 4 (Especially the Elite), and Garron is no exception. He may be not in Gears 4, but he's in Judgement, one of my favoured Gears games. Also he is badass
1. Dominic Santiago
What can I say? When I played Gears of War, he was my character of choice. Gears 2 and 3, I always chose Dom. When he died, I bawled my eyes out for a solid 5 minutes, and hugged my Dad for another 10 (I was 7 at the time but still). He is the guy you're supposed to relate to. You can't relate to Marcus if you haven't been in war, (or lost family in the later parts of Gears of War 3).
Anyone above Dom other than Marcus and no general RAAM is a disgrace
In my opinion the best charecter is Benjamin carmine
Right when you start to think he might just make it, *worm.*
I only played gears of war 1 to 3
Can anyone tell where to find this music? 19:01
why the fuck is clayton carmine not on this list at all
Where is Tai though?!
No Carmine no party lool
Waddup g
no gears 3 Sam?
No love for Prescott?
Well, he glassed most of the planet, ordered the creation of “birthing camps,” and kidnapped Marcus’ dad, so there’s that.
Myrra number1 😉
Anya over Baird?🤣
