That first game had a serious horror aspect to it that was missing in all subsequent games. I loved 2 but it didn't have the same vibe, and 3 really leaned hard into the generic action game feel even if I loved it too
They aren't. The Locust are like bees. Many different types, with vast physical differences with different jobs, but they are all bees. There are no "races" of Locust. They are all Locust.
For free? Bro you're treating us too much man! A few minutes in and I can tell there is a lot of effort and time put into this. Keep being awesome man! 👌 💙
We can hear you çhokin on his nuts in the other room bro. Relax u don't need to fall all over TH-camrs like some pathetic groupie especially when he's just spouting off someone else's creations anyway lol
I absolutely LOVE how at the berserker part Dom was on the ground bleeding out. That was hilarious to me because the exact same thing happens to me EVERY time I play gears 1. He is so useless at that part and in the final boss fight. The AI in gears 1 is just awful at sone points
When I fight the Gears 1 berserkers, it's as much a fight against them as it is their attention span. I swear, it was like Dom was actively trying to distract them so they wouldn't charge where I needed them to!
The remastered version of the berserker killing that cog soldier has always been the most gut wrenching death I've ever seen and heard in a video game. Reason?, the screams the get cut off as he's being pulled apart. This has literally been the only time I'm on the verge of throwing up from a video game death
And the fact the scream cut-off came several seconds into the COG getting the Pit Bull Named Cupcake treatment means he was still very much alive as at least a few of his limbs and other assorted body parts were being pulled apart. It took the Berserker ripping his head off to finally silence him. I wonder how much pain and horror he was in, in those precious few seconds...
If you look close enough, you can see the Savage Hunters are wearing a beasts jaw over theirs. Given what’s known about Locust, it could be to further intimidate their targets when they’ve caught up with them. Or just to look amazing
I miss the horror feel of GoW 1, though thankfully 5 brought some of it back. I still have a clip from day one of my exploration of the creepy daycare basement. I even caught a ghost face in one of the door windows, gave me a right scare too.
Exactly, Gears 1 had a real horror element that sadly fell off with Gears 2 and totally died in Gears 3. I recall when Gears 2 came out I was kinda off put by the more generic vibe, and 3 just made it worse but I still loved those games
This was a great video. I'm a total nerd for things like sci-fi or video game lore, which is why I hav this compulsion to collect anything that tells lore or history for a game like skyrim especially. I loved that it had actual books you could read with great stories and lore, I try to collect one of every book whenever I start a new character, even to the point I build a library on my house, even tho it means I can't hav an alchemy lab or other useful building in its place.
we are getting a E-Day game I don’t think we will see anything new but probably more primitive and first gen armor and ranks of the Locust. either way we Gearheads are eating good yet again
Me and my brother LOVED playing GOW and we played every game until 4 (we don't have Xbox nor really plan to) and to be honest, from what I have seen/read/heard I thought the new GOW I feared that it was dying out. But seeing your videos made me relive all the moments of me and my brother playing and I just wanna thank you for reigniting the GOW fanbase once more
Thanks man, I love to hear that! Those were the days!! Gears is so amazing, it’s a special franchise and I’m glad I can help keep the gears turning on TH-cam!
New gow is on PC it best to own PC now then console because like you said you don't own the new Xbox with PC it can last forever you just need to replace parts to upgrade if you want better performance
Don't know why but at 1:25:50 when u said my name my heart sank lol it took a while for me to finish the video because I would rewind to make sure I didn't miss anything and amazing job abz
this was really fun to watch man, i played gears 1-3 but none of the other games, but i've always loved gears story and characters and lore. i really hope to see more gears game in the future
What's crazy is how Nile convinced the chairman is he was creating a new Army while in private a new race to take Humanities place he calls it the cleansing multiple times
I never hated the game just stopped playing it but after watching you for a while I replayed all of them and watched almost all your vids for it lmaoo I love this game gears of war 5 is super fun too been ranking up and playing when I can I love the series
I’m pretty sure the large fangs of the savage hunter is actually a part of an animals skull they made into protective head gear. You can see their real mouth inside the helmets mouth. Idk why it’s red in color though.
I may be mistaken, but myrrah wasn't bred. Niles used her cells and the sires cells. They were infertile remember? Also its not just more humane, but much faster to grow a subject in a tube. Myrrah was in no way bred lmao
@@KEVERIANC also very slow and not efficient to produce the gears franchise as either she would die due to the stress her body was under in the pregnancy OR they come out ripping and tearing thus also ending her. Don't worry - it didn't happen and niles even sugested that that was on ethical and moral bridge he didn't nor could burn. Seems he had A standard
All the locust units and creatures ever presented within the locust horde that you get the face, I really like the boomers and they're various ranks and roles. If I had to pick a variant, I would definitely go for the butcher do the fact that the butcher is a chef and I wonder what locust cooking is like besides just rock worms.
Sorry if this is a dumb question what gears were you playing as the locus in the background? Also what is your opinion on beast mode from gears 3? I loved it but it never came back :(
Absolute fantastic video man, I love seeing people still post these games. Again I loved the video. And I hope your as excited for the new Gears e day game as I am❤
Ik this has nothing to do with the video but I'm trying to beat GOW1 Ultimate Edition on hardcore difficulty and I cant seem to get past General RAAM he shreds my health lol, do you got any advice? Thanks
By the way I am not sure how old Raam was, Sraak was one of the oldest Locust Drone, could be what we saw Average Drones are just kids. and Raam was Fully matured?
I dont hate the idea of the Locusts being mutants/bio weapons, but what bothers me is the timescale: they developed a massive underground empire, their own religion and language, weapons, tamed the Hollow lifeforms, and reached a population in the billions, all in only 50 Years?
So im confused, i thought niles in gears 5 said myrrah wasnt bred with the sires but had her stem cells used to create the locust. Did i miss something in that?
New sub for u big bro good info I'm a OG gear head lol I remember when it first came out when I played it I knew it was gonna take off but I'm not a big fan of their newest ones but it's fine
I know im late to the party lol but I beleive the cleaver Theron took over the cooking and butchering since the butcher disappeared as well as the mualer
To an extent you can understand why Meyra (dont know if I spelled it right) wanted to destroy humanity not condoning it but understand enough to see why
Ooo I need to take notes for my Fallout RP creating new species would make my RP more unique. As of making this comment I have finished the Gears trilogy in a few weeks.
Headcannon for butcher Theron is maybe it’s a rite of passage to show courage and to earn the right to be a full on Theron and to get all its privileges ie weapons breeding rights and status
I ALWAYS wanted to know what exactly the Berserker was made out of. The thing is multiple thousands of pounds but with a human body plan. And it's legs are NOT to scale. It would have much thicker thighs and legs irl. It's knees joints must be made out of some hyper durable super material. Also, why did the gears never skin any locust mongers and wear them as armor?
Not sure if it’s just me but is this a different version of gears 3? I’ve never seen that game mode where you’re able to play as the grinder and all, or is that vs bots? Also it looks real crisp too, is that like an HD mod or something?
It’s a gears of war 3 pc build that I downloaded thanks to members in the Gears PC discord. I used commands to spawn in as the Grinder for instance on a regular game mode
Ik I'm Hella late to this video but what about people like skorge, karn, sraak, and raam? I know raam is like a normal locust and sraak is a first wave locust. But What kind of locust are they?

Bro as a kid I was terrified of the berserker mission especially with the cutscene. Man do I miss the old times
I was 10 and I was so scared too!
It was my dad who played but damn ..
I never finished Gears 1 because I kept failing that mission but now years later I beat the trilogy
That first game had a serious horror aspect to it that was missing in all subsequent games. I loved 2 but it didn't have the same vibe, and 3 really leaned hard into the generic action game feel even if I loved it too
I was against the Berserker yesterday bro. Forgot all about it and got scared lmao

Ain’t gonna get no respect from me… not like this is a rare game or anything….

@@cajunfries6955 People always feel the urge to say something, negative or positive. It's up to you to give them the attention they want.

They aren't. The Locust are like bees. Many different types, with vast physical differences with different jobs, but they are all bees. There are no "races" of Locust. They are all Locust.
Kantus are drones too?

Gears of War was such a good game. It was the reason why I wanted a 360 - that and Lost Planet. I miss those middle school days. ❤
Lost planet fucked
Yooo lost planet was awesome
Hey! Are we lost twins? 😂 It's the same for me!
If you look close enough, you can see the Savage Hunters are wearing a beasts jaw over theirs. Given what’s known about Locust, it could be to further intimidate their targets when they’ve caught up with them. Or just to look amazing

Thats really awesome to hear! Glad you enjoyed the video, I'll be creating many more great lore vids!
So Sraak was taller than the beserkers ?? Wow
Gears Of War is one of my favorite games I love getting to know every locust variation and other things like Kantus Boomer ect
we are getting a E-Day game I don’t think we will see anything new but probably more primitive and first gen armor and ranks of the Locust.
either way we Gearheads are eating good yet again

No worries man, every little helps to support me and the channel! Thank you bro as always 💙
@@KingAbzTV np
I always assumed the grinders were somewhat intelligent since they use more advanced tactics and seem to have some sort of leader role.
this was really fun to watch man, i played gears 1-3 but none of the other games, but i've always loved gears story and characters and lore. i really hope to see more gears game in the future
Thank you glad you enjoyed the video!
What's crazy is how Nile convinced the chairman is he was creating a new Army while in private a new race to take Humanities place he calls it the cleansing multiple times
I like to think that Ragers are Grenadiers who have the recessive trait that allows them to metamorphose into deadly close-range soldiers.
The smiley face in the middle of the savage Theron’s armor will never not make me laugh lol😂
Can't wait till they make a rts game of gears like halo wars or c&c be awsome
I never hated the game just stopped playing it but after watching you for a while I replayed all of them and watched almost all your vids for it lmaoo I love this game gears of war 5 is super fun too been ranking up and playing when I can I love the series
Gonna need popcorn for this video!
Ya but it sucks when the cernals get stuck in your teeth or do it only happen to me
I’m pretty sure the large fangs of the savage hunter is actually a part of an animals skull they made into protective head gear. You can see their real mouth inside the helmets mouth. Idk why it’s red in color though.
I may be mistaken, but myrrah wasn't bred.
Niles used her cells and the sires cells.
They were infertile remember?
Also its not just more humane, but much faster to grow a subject in a tube. Myrrah was in no way bred lmao

@@codyjackson1875…it is. Imagine being a little girl getting raped by a sire. Don’t know about you but I’ll take the experiments.
Great vid bro, gears lore is amazing
Thank you bro :)
Fun fact: locust drones have 2 hearts
This C.O.G Gear's name was Gyules. 7:13 - 7:14.
This deserves more likes
Always nice to see a geartuber keeping it alive
7:10 will always be funny to me no matter how old this franchise gets
I really wish I would've gotten the notification because it would've helped me with the 6 hour drive back from vacation
no bother bro, you stopping by and watching the vids means a lot !
Locust Driver are crazy
All the locust units and creatures ever presented within the locust horde that you get the face, I really like the boomers and they're various ranks and roles. If I had to pick a variant, I would definitely go for the butcher do the fact that the butcher is a chef and I wonder what locust cooking is like besides just rock worms.

Ik this has nothing to do with the video but I'm trying to beat GOW1 Ultimate Edition on hardcore difficulty and I cant seem to get past General RAAM he shreds my health lol, do you got any advice? Thanks
Use a torque bow to kill the kryll then pop him with the longshot in the head!
I would use a torgue bow then spam grenades and just a few longshot headshots
Two grenades and then spam torgue bow
Love these long lore videos, man.
Quick question if regular berserkers weren't able to jump then how did that one berserker "jump" onto the speeding train.
Greeeaaat video man!!! Love the Gears lore!!
Thank you!!
I stopped at gears 3 not by choice just life but man I used to love gnasher battles love gears so want a movie
Wow I didn’t know Raam was the same height as the berserkers 😯
Love these videos dude
Thanks man I’m glad you’re enjoying them!
You should cover the same type of things you did on this video but for the swarm next
I thought I saw a comic or something or maybe I just assumed this specific Berserkers came out of a cave saw this train ran and jumped on it 8:34.
Notice the Matriarch has longer spikes on the top part of it's back 12:15.
Or female breed of the Locust horde 12:29 - 12:30.
By the way I am not sure how old Raam was, Sraak was one of the oldest Locust Drone, could be what we saw Average Drones are just kids. and Raam was Fully matured?
I dont hate the idea of the Locusts being mutants/bio weapons, but what bothers me is the timescale: they developed a massive underground empire, their own religion and language, weapons, tamed the Hollow lifeforms, and reached a population in the billions, all in only 50 Years?
So im confused, i thought niles in gears 5 said myrrah wasnt bred with the sires but had her stem cells used to create the locust. Did i miss something in that?
I was listening to it and didn't watch most of it, so i thought it was called emotion instead of imulsion from the way you said it.
The Savage Drone looks badass
The ultimate podcast
When were ragers introduced?
I watch this whole thing to lean about the locust and to get ready for Gears of war E-day
that berserker scared the shit out of me when I was a kid
Love the gears content 💜
New sub for u big bro good info I'm a OG gear head lol I remember when it first came out when I played it I knew it was gonna take off but I'm not a big fan of their newest ones but it's fine
All these years later, the Sires were the only video game enemy that actually gave me a nightmare.
Abz Your The Best At Making Vids
Thank you bro that means a lot 💙
What’s the name of your intro song, it’s hype af!!! Great video btw keep up the awesome work!!!!!
It’s the attack on Titan betrayal remix! Amazing show btw if you haven’t watched it!
& thanks my friend!!
The Locust are so freaking cool man...... 👀
I know im late to the party lol but I beleive the cleaver Theron took over the cooking and butchering since the butcher disappeared as well as the mualer
To an extent you can understand why Meyra (dont know if I spelled it right) wanted to destroy humanity not condoning it but understand enough to see why
It’s Myrrah, just an fyi
I’ve probably played gears 1 thru judgement a couple hundred times and I always went for a head shot on druges.
Pulling up to see general RAAM is terrifying.
I must have been out of the gears game for too long as I didn’t even know there was a lancer without the chainsaw lol
Was that gameplay from a modding gamemode? It looked like you were playing as beast mode characters in standard multiplayer.
It's the gears of war 3 jacinto build, a special PC build that was initially used by devs for testing and debugging.
Subscribed
No
I love the tack on Titan music that starts
Crazy Myrrah being the Queen and is just like 🤷 when she sees how the Locust breed....
Locust Sniper drippy fr🥶
Which locust is the most annoying for you guys ????
Ooo I need to take notes for my Fallout RP creating new species would make my RP more unique. As of making this comment I have finished the Gears trilogy in a few weeks.
so the Matriarch was bred from Myrrah right? wouldn't that make it Kate's genetic aunt? since the Matriarch and Reyna are the children of Myrrah???
what game mode he playin on which gow for the game footage
Headcannon for butcher Theron is maybe it’s a rite of passage to show courage and to earn the right to be a full on Theron and to get all its privileges ie weapons breeding rights and status
Juicy Lore Video , hawt ^^
Yo what's that intro song called man? That beat goes hard! Great Video man!
That makes me wonder if the Ragers are all Locust genetic work as well
58:02 Woah, Halo reference there
I never knew the berserkers were females
Baird Said It First Hand, "She" Even Anya "Her"
I ALWAYS wanted to know what exactly the Berserker was made out of.
The thing is multiple thousands of pounds but with a human body plan. And it's legs are NOT to scale. It would have much thicker thighs and legs irl.
It's knees joints must be made out of some hyper durable super material.
Also, why did the gears never skin any locust mongers and wear them as armor?
Not sure if it’s just me but is this a different version of gears 3? I’ve never seen that game mode where you’re able to play as the grinder and all, or is that vs bots? Also it looks real crisp too, is that like an HD mod or something?

I just wish Gears was a big game again bro 😭
Awesome ❤
Ik I'm Hella late to this video but what about people like skorge, karn, sraak, and raam? I know raam is like a normal locust and sraak is a first wave locust. But What kind of locust are they?
Skorge is a kantus, the rest that you mentioned are drones, Karn was a malformed drone
I miss the old rager. They were like mini berserkers
Yo according to you between the locust Granadier and swarm Granadier who is stronger
Maaaan who was mating with the bezerkers though
The boomer gameplay in gear 3 king of the hill? Its a mutator or a mod?
Same
If regular Beseekers can’t jump how did one jump on the train in gears 1?
I never knew gunkers were just immulsion infused butchers. 🤔
What about the shriekers😢😢
They should be in my hollow creatures lore movie!
Don't know why I didn't get a notification for this? WTF
:((
Awesome
Theorie maybe ketor droak was the scarred kantus unless droak died pre emergence
