I don't care what anyone says, this is the best shooter I've played in my life.
and it has the best multiplayer created ever. After shitty GoW2 multi, and after amazing multi from GoW1, Epic delivered the best part in series and the best multi !!!!
Best third person shooter??? definitely. Best shooter ever??? disagree.
***** Honestly, Halo 4 or F.E.A.R.1.
You'll love Halo 5: Guardians then. Feel wise it's a mix of Halo 4 and Halo 3 with some extra things tagged on.
F.E.A.R.1
I've never really noticed the controls in any other game, but the GoW controls, in my opinion, are perfect.
Love your vids.
Gears of War 3 is by far the best 3rd person shooter of all time especially in terms of gameplay mechanics.
Yeah, I mean mass effect has many deep mechanics, but Gears of Wars combat is perfect. 3rd person shooters wish they were Gears of War.
Its my 4th favoured 3rd person shooter after mass effect 2, re4 and re2
عم ناصح re4 is amazing
@@user-ok4du7nj5n keep in mind they made that comment 6 years ago
Re4 will always be. Gears of war took inspiration from it
The Gears of War Trilogy, one of the few game series that keeps getting better.
Well Halo did until 4
+joe foley noppe, the best was halo 2
+Ambjörn Inemyr It's very close but I like 3 a bit more
Tommy Cahill I thought Judgement was pretty good.
Until Gears 2. Awfully buggy, and horrible cinematography. Aged horrible for 2008 as well (at least compared to L4D and MGS4)
Who's still playing gears 3 as of today? I never stopped
me!😀
Walter White I have all of the Gears of War games on my Xbox one and 3 is by far my favorite
Ive been playing them all again with the one x patch.. Waiting for gears 5!!
Micheal Odargan Same! Upgraded to Ultimate Game Pass and finished the first 2 a few days ago. Started 3 today and man does it look amazing on the X! Never played Judgement so im looking forward to that one and 4.
Still playing but I think gears of war 2 is better than 3 imo
GOD DAMN this game was so freaking good.
Just played all 3 in a row and now I'm gonna do it all over again,it's just so amazing trilogy...
How did Judgment get a higher score than Gears 3? LMFAO
KlutchKwonDo Different reviewers different tastes
@@Mitchob1012 Doesn't matter
To all the review haters out there, remember that they did give this game the 9/10 Amazing score. They're not hating on it, they did praise it a lot
It's obviously the pc and ps3 elitists. Gears 3 is a great game. It would be even better without the sawed off and retro lancer
***** I personally liked the Retro Lancer, but the Sawed-Off was awful.
Their explanation was garbage
GOW 2 is by far my favorite.
It added the most changes to it's formula and provided the most fun online I had played since Halo.
I liked 3 but the online wasnt as fun for me, I dunno.
As for Judgement..Well that felt like a cash in on the series.
i used to play gears of war 1 and 2 split screen with my brother ALL the time like 5 years ago. i can't believe ive never played gears 3 and i am playing it right now on my xb1
haha yeah me too i just cant wait for gears 4
Same here with my older brother. We didn't always get along but with gears of war split screen it was some of our best memories
+Andrew22 i m also playing on my xb1
+Andrew22 i never played gear at all and now on 2016 i started playing it and so far GoW2 was a huge improvement over the first one. about to play the 3rd one.
I can agree with the improvements to the 2nd one. The 3rd has the best game play and story, so as the final game it fulfilled my expectations although 2 will always be my favorite thanks to the iconic moments. What is your favorite so far?
FREE ON GAMES WITH GOLD!
melted gold,does that count
Man, it's been 5 years already :(

why does it have a lower score than judgment. are they ok
They gave GOW judgement a 9.2 but they gave this a 9.0????
When they made Judgment, they only had half of a development team with a strict deadline. They did what they could and considering that, it's a damn fine effort. I play Judgment and I play Gears 3 a lot more than almost any other game in my collection (excluding Borderlands 2). Think of Judgment as its own game without comparing it to the past gears and thats when I started to think it's not that bad of a game. Just sit down and enjoy what they made or don't buy it. Simple as that.
Gears 3 & Judgement still have an online community?
People, remember that IGN is made up of many DIFFERENT journalists who have DIFFERENT OPINIONS than each other and you. Also, you don't need someone else's approval on something you like, so why even care about reviews?
hahah jesus these graphics still look really great. gow 3 ftw
Yeah, when I finally got the game I was actually amazed by the graphics especially when owning games with better graphics of this year and last year
"It's still the same stuff we've already done, more or less". LMFAO. These COD fandouches make it way too obvious.
Playing this for the first time. Beat the first 2. Can't wait to finish out the remaining 3. I never owned an Xbox to play these so im excited to finally sit down and beat it.
Nice. How’s the third so far?
@@codymullins9387 right now I'm on act 3 or chapter 3. I took a break as to not get burned out to quick. So I'm doing 100% completion runs for dark souls 3 on my ps4.
Game deserved a 10. The story is great, multiplayer is great, content is awesome. Although the AI have issues sometimes.
I don't care what people say
Gears is the most fun series of games ever
Gears is the type of game that you buy without looking at reviews because you know exactly what you are getting
Why do people compare this game to Uncharted? Gears is supposed to be an overhauled meat-fest for to bring out the psycho in you, while Uncharted is more narrative based. The only similarity, is the fact that they are both third person shooters.
DaveSwag BOTH GAMES ARE INCREDIBLE BUT YA LIKE YOU SAID SHOULDNT BE COMPARED WITH EACH OTHER THERE BOTH THOUGH ON TOP OF THIER GAME!!
IGN complained about 2 things for Uncharted 3.
The score.....
10/10
Im still wondering how much they got paid.
brandon mcgaw way to kill my vibe. You must be real fun at parties.
People are saying that COD and Fifa are more unique than Gears, when each Gears is completely different, and COD and Fifa are the same games every fucking year.
FIFA's main gameplay is based irl. and how's that any better than GoW? lol
People got different taste in games....
9.0 for Gears 3? Because of story? Does nothing please IGN?
Halo 5 and Gears of war 4 will be epic on the Xbox one hoping that they won't mess it up that's what's keeping me from getting the ps4
This still looks great in 2015
Conor Doyle and 2017
2019 and game looks great
2020 Still looks great
2021 and still looks great
@@JessicaGarcia-xf9wr 2030 AND Still looks great
been there done that ? i dont hear that in ur COD reviews
I've spent over 100,000,000 hours on this bad boy's multiplayer and I don't regret a second of it. Faultless. Faultless. FAULTLESS.
to limited. Just like cod you can't exploit the physics to do awesome stuff and is stuck.
You've spent nearly 11,500 years on it?
lol i want your time machine then lol
I still got gears 3 2 1 and judgement
“There are lot more Carmines”
Ohh i couldnt stop laughing, seems like every installment was destined to kill 1 carmine 😂😂😂
Comparing Zelda to Gears is like comparing Skyrim to Forza. They're two completely different games.
The greatest game of Xbox.
Who else is excited for Gears 4?
me
Smitty Johnson me I'm getting it tomorrow on my Xbox One s
Gears of War 3 with 100 percent less carmine death
gears of war 2 - 3... sUUUUUCK!
anybody who has played the first remember the suspense. The world was quiet nothing but the atmosphere and your allies sounds. The the world was gigantic and silent, you traveled along your mission really felling like you were marching into hell and not starting next door to trouble. I remember those first levels with the truck and fallen team far down below. Once you reach them hell breaks out and you fighting to survive, cause it wasn't target practice simulator. When it was quiet it was for a good time without exposition bothering and you could enjoy the size and scale of everything. A true feeling that you couldn't go there and not because of linear plot walls.
DANIEL3351 multiplayer isn't fun if it isn't co op. If it's normal multiplayer it's nothing but action death match. It's supposed to be horror but it's less frightening than halo 1! imagine if a realistic races's sequel instead had big explosions and atachements to destroy the other opponent
You are funny gears of war 2 & 3 are great what the hell are you talking about lol
I don't think Gears 2-3 suck, but I understand what you're saying. Gears 1 did have a darker, more somber atmosphere that took itself much more seriously.
The game was advertised more on the themes of fear and sadness (the very first teaser was a child talking about the monsters in his closet while it showed the locust shuffling in the shadows, then it ended with Marcus saying "Are you afraid of the dark?" That's where the horror was implied.
I enjoyed the other Gears games, but they did get more action-packed, and left behind the desolate feel of Gears 1. I hope they return to that in Gears 4.
No! NO! Stop being so nostalgic about Gears 1! Suspense? The game felt like a shell. The story, despite having excellent characters, was empty. Get from point A to point , doing the exact same mechanics as the previous levels. Kill hordes, find berserker or seeder, use hammer of dawn, repeat until end of level. And the Junker section; that PURE EVIL section made me cringe. There were a lot of points where I just wanted it to end. Thank god the sequels came and fixed that mess.
magnusm4 I know what you mean. Gears 1 was unique because of it's brutal, almost survival horror atmosphere and challenge. 2 & 3 are much more grandiose michael bay explosion fests, although they admittedly play a lot better. Depends what you value, for atmosphere and pacing I'd go Gears 1 any day, but you'll get way more play time and variety out of 2 & 3
Gears of War 4 baby wooo
YEAH
Me and my girlfriend are playing the story mode together and it's pretty good haven't finished it yet still playing it November 2017.
best series and game of last generation imo
maybe you could try some other games to..
I've never played this game. I played the first two so is it worth getting depending on if the multiplayer is as good as something like COD or BF3?
should i get gears 2 3 or four first
If you're interested in story, get them in order. If not I'd recommend 3 just because overall it has the best and most fluent multiplayer. Gears of war Judgement is a shitty excuse for a gears game and was just an attempt by People Can Fly to cash in on a popular franchise. Don't get that one/waste your money.
ok thanks mate
ok thanks
Am i the only one who enjoys the cheese and corn?
This game is a masterpiece
I admit this wasnt what i was hoping it would be in terms of the story and its twists, but how is the dialogue cheesy?! In my opinion it has the best dialouge in any game. Not only does it master the serious moments such as doms death but the banter throughout is so funny between baird cole marcus and dom
damn the only game that made me buy xbox 360
Serious Gamer its a normal situation. Every console must have own real system seller :)) PS3 had Uncharted series, X360 had GoW :)) simple.
BigBoss1982 This is the only reason i would by a 360 as well, only for the GoW series.
***** Halo?
That would be interesting as well, but mostly GoW series :)
gears of war 3 king of xbox 360
god of war 3 king of ps3
no the king of the ps3 id say is uncharted 2
alex duffy No is Metal Gear Solid Legacy
best gears of war ever
One of the top ten games of all time.
This game sucked
Probably because you suck at the multiplayer. Get better and then try again it's more fun once you get good at the game. Like me I have been playing gears of war since I was 9 years old now I'm 17. I have 8 years of experience with this game and I am good at multiplayer but not the best.
its a game were you do the same thing all the time..zzz
The amount of time, effort, and plain hard work with the community and epic should have deserved a 10
Love this series and this game especially. Put hours into it, might have to download it on my Xbox One again!
I unfortunately got a used copy that apparently has a glitched story mode. so act 4 when u r going for the submarine parts it either goes to a black screen... which you can still move around in and see nothing but the HUD or the elevator switch you press brings no elevator. this makes me sad.
I don't know how epic could stray so far from this in judgement... This game was everything story didn't feel short, everything multiplayer worked perfect, great maps.
If judgement didn't try to be hipster gears it would have launched so successful. If people played it at this moment they would be surprised how much epic changed it back to most good routes but to late maps are good and with the dlc you'll have more than 3 maps but the dlc should be free for messing up.
My rant for today
My fave Gears, the story, multiplayer and horde are all incredible. Would recommend. A strong 9/10
If you're (seriously) interested in Gears of War and don't mind reading (or audiobooks) then I suggest reading the books. All 5 of them. They really help flesh out the story, characters and they're motivations. The Slab is the last book, but I'd recommend reading/listening to it before playing Gears 1. GoW: Judgement is a prequel to the entire series, but it plays a bit different so it may be difficult to transition from Judgement to Gears 1. Great series and I personally hope there's more games and books in the future.
im just saying that certain games aren't meant to be judged on certain aspects of it. It's like how Mario isn't judged for its story and Mass Effect isn't judged on its combat. It depends on what the developers focus on and expect the player to enjoy. Like how the main focus of Battlefield 3 is multiplayer not it's campaign. It's the reason you play the game. And if you think Gears of war has a more engrossing, emotional story than U3, then you obviously haven't played many story focused games.
I LIKE HOW THIS SERIES TWEAKS ALL THEIR GAMES MAKING THEM BETTER EACH TIME!!
***** WHY ARE YOU TYPING LIKE HIM!!
aby mondesir WHY ALL OF YOU DOING THE SAME THING
Wait did he say - predictable , lol I played my bros mw3 like a week ago and everything was predictable wtf
getting a 360 next week should I get this or judgement first as I'll eventually get both but which one do people still play online? (have played G1 and G2)
Realism in context, you can curbstomp someone to smash their head like grapefruit but it takes continuous assault rifle fire to put somebody on the ground. Cover systems never really add anything to competitive multiplayer, which is the reason it only shows up in games that have regenerating health. Do you play anything besides shooters competitively?
Multiplayer is so fun, I couldn't even wait for an xb1 any longer but this game made me much more patient
did wil wheaton do this interview sounds alot like him
Man, i love this game. Ever since i was dissapointed with the past 3 halo games (ODST, Halo wars, and Reach) and quitting cod ever since black ops, i've just been concentrating on the gears trilogy. Gears 3, battlefield 3 and skyrim are my favourite games this generation.
one question. Where do the locust get guns?
Also, about the "been there done that" complaint, are you serious? Do you want a Gears of War first person shooter or something? The gameplay is perfectly fine the way it is. And it got better with Gears 3. They've improved the physics, and overall feel of the game's controls. There's more executions, an iron-sight mechanic, and really cool enemy designs. There's no need to change. It's already a good thing that it's staying the same and adding new quirks to the gameplay.
hey theres something wrong with carmine in hoarde 2.0 every time i switch weapons it magiclly shrinks but when carmine grabs it it grows size? any help
Just beat Gears 1, almost done 2 moving onto my personal favorite in 3 soon then to play the new games which I have not played. Gonna be interesting to see how 4 & 5 compare to the OG trilogy.
Strizzy Rameses Amazing game. How do you like it?
In Gears of war 3 or Judgment do the cutscenes like lag a little becouse they do in the first Gears i thing on getting the others but i just wanna know if they still lag on the cutscnes :) ?
remember getting this on midnight release and being blown away by it...played TONS of hours on Horde! best 3rd person shooter ever made
Just completely curious when a game comes out for example like Crysis 2 or MW3 on all 3 platforms, which do you pick? I would guess PC for the superior graphics and online community, but xbox and ps3 also have their advantages like Acheivements/trophies and gamepads, which i personally favor over keyboard and mouse.
been there, done that feel? weird how ign doesnt say that in there COD reviews
"gears of war 3 knows exactly what it is a bad ass simulator"
Still the best Gears of War game out of this series. Gears 4 is just milking the glory of past titles.
funny you should say that as I'm typing this I'm actually downloading gears 3 from xbox live and i down loaded the other two from xbox live earlier in the week, iv completed the first two as of yesterday and i can say that this review is pretty much what id expect there are somethings in the second game that felt similar to the first one but as a whole i think the gears trilogy is known for very,very tight gameplay iv enjoyed every second of playtime so far (with the first two) you´ll love it :D
Personally I think Epic did a tremendous job with this game. A great end to their trilogy. The single player & S player Co-op blow anything CoD has done out of the water. Damn shame the multi player has such a heavy learning curve that the casual player gave up on Gears 3. The playlists aren't as populated as they should be.
back when they knew how to make GREAT games!!! miss those days
Honestly I never understand the "cheesy storytelling" complaint. I don't get it. The storytelling is just fine, and it fits really well with the overall universe. It's like they expect "Dark Knight Trilogy" storytelling and voice acting for this franchise. Do you realize how boring that will be if you combine that sort of serious storytelling with this type of game? I love Baird's rage, Cole Train's enthusiasm, and Dom's emotional moments. What do you mean it's cheesy? It works for this game!
I got all the gears games and I've been playing them in order. I got them with gears 4 and I'm really excited to play it. I need to get through Judgement.
What is the price?
Same with every type of fanboy sadly
i've loads of hours into this game, I absolutely love it, one of the defining games of last gen. And the game is not half as cheesy as the reviewer is making it out to be
@smt2542 You did a critical analysis this? What did you find?
Stop comparisons between Gears 3 and Uncharted 3, the thing is this: Gears Of War 3 = Uncharted 3
People piss and moan about the Xbox having very few exclusives, but when your console has both the groundbreaking Halo franchise and the bliss that is Gears, I wouldn't complain at all XD.
PS3: Uncharted Series, Infamous Series, Resistance Series, Killzone Series, LittleBigPlanet Series, God Of War Series, Ratchet and Clank Series, Yakuza Series, Warhawk Series, Sly Copper Series, Jak and Daxter Series, Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm Series, Motorstorm Series, Grand Turismo Series, PixelJunk Series, Metal Gear Solid Series, Demon Souls, Dead Nation, MAG, Folklore, Heavy Rain, Disgaea 4, Journey, Wipeout, Heavenly Sword, Valkyria Chronicles, Socom, Ico and Shadow of the Colossus HD
Bro really saw Dom end himself and said “cheesy and predictable” 🤣
Personally surprised by the reviewer's "been there done that" comment - then again it has popped up from IGN about games that just settle on refining their mechanics. I personally don't see the big deal - you buy new games in most series for the next story or upgraded features, not because the gameplay's been totally overhauled and, as the saying goes, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it".
I'm about to play Gears 3 but I haven't played any of the past two games and I have no idea what the game is about. Do you think i'll have a good time playing Gears 3? Thanks :)
please elaborate what do you mean by "better online"
As we all know "killer app" is an expression in this context. Um since when does Microsoft have to own the rights to a series to try as hard as possible to keep that series? I mean come on, it's been a huge hit for them - no way would they just passively let Epic take it to Sony.
how is this different from other games?
Same man :) nice to see not everyone has to argue, some people can just enjoy the fun!
@addictedtors24 "Without it's story batman would be terrible". What kind of argument is that? AC is a singleplayer game. It literally wouldn't exist without it's story, because it has no Multiplayer.
I felt kinda differently. For me, Gears 1 had the best atmosphere and the best story, Gears 2 had the best gameplay (campaign-wise. Who DIDN'T enjoy riding a fucking Brumak or murdering a giant worm from the inside? :D) as well as the best MP maps and Gears 3 has the best graphics (although the graphics weren't bad to begin with) the best gameplay playing-wise (The most executions, bagging-and-tagging.) as well as the best emotional part. Gears Judgment though... *shiver*.
SShould I get this or the gears triple pack?
I hope gears 4 stays with the games roots unlike how Halo 4 broke off from the norm of the Halo series.
oh, it is
I actually like halo 4 a lot, and I've played a lot of games
should i buy the first two in order to get this
but developers do somewhat intend for their players to have some kind of emotion for their characters like in halo 3 when johnson died, everyone was sad and heartbroken to see a badass die. everyone thinks of their games different
i dont know why these enemies reminds me of fallout 3 mutated ones....cant wait for the next gears of war game
"Only myself" you just started gaming this gen didnt you? You seriously have no clue about the huge MGS fanbase? "gears has better multiplayer" its a plain shooting third person shooter. Metal Gear Online makes the Gears multiplayer look like a shovelware game made for the Wii. I never said MGS was an exclusive series to PS. Only MGS4 is.
