The Dom Embry Star wasn't for his actions in Gears 3. It was for his actions in the Pendulum Wars for his part in the Aspho Point raid

[@eggheadusa]

Everyone knows that

[@gandalfthegayasinhappynothomo]

That was not Dom. That was Carlos his older brother

[@dylankushlan4553]

No Dom recieved the Embry Star for taking down an enemy chimera helicopter with his lancer from a boat and then pulling gears out of the water and driving the boat into a King Raven with Colonel Hoffman aboard. Carlos Santiago recieved the Embry star for giving his life to hold a bridge while the rest of C company was extracted along wth Bernie and Marcus Fenix. And just for the record Marcus Fenix recieved his Embry Star for jumping into an enemy vehicle and using the cannon to take out the UIR antiaircraft vehicles and a helicopter that was shooting at Dom And Colonel Hoffman over the ocean. Anya Stroud recieved her mom's Embry Star which was earned when Helena Stroud jumped on to an enemy tank and dropped 3 grenades inside when she went to jump off the tank her armor webbing got caught on the tank and she died while Anya was in the command center listening. Hoffman also recieved an Embry star during this mission. And if you dont know already the battle of Aspho fields was to take the hammer of dawn from the UIR so the COG could deploy it first and win the war. Marcus buried his in Carlos's grave. Carlos's medal was given to his parents who died along with Dom's kids. Dom traded his for legal help trying to get Marcus out of the slab. Hoffman gave his to Bai Tak's widow (because paisang troops were not eligible for the medal) and Anya kept hers and put it away so no one could look at it. If you want to know more lore the books are great reads and give you a better picture of the Gears universe.

Dumb people lol

[@randomrob3715]

It’s nothing like gears 4.... strangely, I prefer gears 4 campaign. Gears 5 was very easy and didn’t have many epic battles. It definitely had the least amount of action. And the driving around the desert was just pointless and not needed in my opinion. I don’t want Gears to be open world.

[@randomrob3715]

Leo Enduro the berserker was way too easy. Just shoot some ice. And the final boss fight... I didn’t even know it was the final boss fight. It didn’t feel like one. I expected more. In gears 4 there were several big battles where you had to defend a spot, regroup and get attacked again. Big bad enemies coming at you over and over. And it was rough. There didn’t feel like much of this in gears 5. I barely died on my first play through. The bit where you had to lay the beacon was like that, and that was great, but that was about it. I don’t remember any other part of the game that felt like that. Gears 5 really didn’t have many big battles at all.

"Fish mace"? Damn you missed a perfect opportunity to call JD a gay fish because he's holding a fishstick.

[@K9-King_9000]

I'm probably stating the obvious here, but still. Raam's job was to kill the leader of every squad he came across. He killed Minh. I know was the leader of the squad Marcus was in, but I beg to argue that Raam killing Marcus, Dom, or Cole would've worked out much better for the Locust.

[@KillerOrca]

Kim was a follower. By the book. RAAM made a mistake in killing him instead of Marcus, and for it, he payed, the Locust paid, and eventually, even the queen.

[@kylematthew141]

I was really upset when you referred to Dominic as Marcus' "buddy." They were like brothers. Otherwise good video "buddy!"

Interesting note but that Embry Star was given to Dom for events that occured during the very first Gears of War Novel, Aspho Fields. Its cool that they've kept the expanded lore so solid... Also, that memorial easter egg happens just before you add one more name to that wall...and there's a space in between the Adam Fenix and Kim in the front row.

[@joshuaellery6167]

Jace becoming an actor makes sense, considering his voice actor is Michael B. Jordan.

After finding Anthony’s helmet there’s a lancer right next to it

[@m3tr0id86]

There is a reference to Halvo Bay from Gears of War: Judgement in a converstion on the skiff a few times in the desert area and if you pick up the Markza in front of Paduk, he mentions that you have great taste in weapons as he says in the Beginning of Gears Judgment he says "This isn't a gun! It's a comrade." when you first see the Markza on the Campaign.

ANOTHER Easter egg is the Posters for the musical that’s playing. The guy standing with one hand in the air is a reference to the poster for Hamilton the musical. The stage even spins during the mini-boss fight. Like the confrontation scenes in Hamilton the Musical on Broadway.

[@TheDeviousDave]

Isn't the Letter collectible you find by the Centaur Tank in Act 2 a Easter Egg reference to the Gears novels as Cole Train would write letters to his Dead parents.

There is a reference to 2 book characters in the Outsider worm village

[@ninjab33z]

2 things 1: you don't have to collect every Easter egg but there 8s one devoted to each character that shoes up at the memorial and you do have to collect all of those. 2: while maybe not necessarily an Easter egg, I thought I'd mention the jazzy rendition of the main theme when you fight a stump at the theatre on, I think it's act 1?

@@brandonscott5512 They were all rookies but yeah Ben is the most lovable because of how young and bold he was, he tried his hardest to become what Clay is now but knowing that all that pain from his death is not just inflicted towards Clay but to us also and now that Lizzie is gone, a Carmine we knew her shorter than Anthony, that had a large impact towards Carmine fans and to think how Clayton has been through not just his brothers but now his niece. I can feel how Clay is. I play him every gears game knowing that every Grub, Lambent or Swarm I kill it's towards his vengeance for his Family.
