Gears of War is A Masterpiece

[@PlayerOne.StartGame]

I can't believe how good we had it. Between Rainbow Six Vegas, Gears, COD 1-4, Halo 1-3, Valve at its peak with HL2 and CSS and TF2 and L4D, WoW popping off, dozens of new masterpieces yearly all finished and full of content with no microtransactions. Amazing times.

[@hutchphilpot6870]

@@alexrogers777 I disagree. Typically I’d agree that in most cases having more than one option is beneficial especially in video games as to not become boring, annoying, or redundant. Like NPC’s with the same 2-3 responses all game. BUT the headshot sound was so perfect it rose above that. Being you admitted it is the best, you by default know it is incapable of being better. So why change something or add to it, when all it would do is take away from what is already perfect? Nothing can be better than the best. By definition.

Gears of war 1 was a horror game in a lot of ways and that was lost in the future installments, even the ultimate edition phased out a lot of the horror.

First The Act Man and now you Charlie. As I die hard Gears of War fan, thank you so much for making a video about this beautiful game. I have really good memories with my dad thanks to Gears of War, specially the first game. It was gorgeous! I've played all of the games and Gears of War will always be my favorite game franchise ever. The orginal trilogy speaks for itself. Just perfect! Gears of War 3 has a special place in my heart because it was the first ever game I played on online. It was my introduction to online multiplayer and it was a blast! I have an unpopular opinion and that is that I absolutely loved Judgement! It wasn't as fleshed out as the others but it was inovative in a lot of ways. You were able to use a Mauler Shield in one hand and any other weapon (excepting heavy weapons) on the other one, such as a Gnasher or Markza, you were able to select your favorite grenade and main weapon and the absolute best thing is that it introduced Free For All for the very first time in the franchise. The waiting was eternal but it was worth it. I have so many good memories playing FFA in Judgement. The distinct gameplay, alongside this gamemode was truly iconic. Then Gears of War 4 came out and it was insane too! I played a ton of multiplayer too but I want to shoutout horde in this game. It's design was very compelling and I completed the 50 waves so many times. Personally, the best horde experience I've ever had is in Gears of War 4. Insane! And last but not least, Gears 5. The most frenetic, polished and fun Gears to date in my opinion. Surprisingly, Gears 4 didn´t have Free For All, which was dissapointing but after I saw Gears 5 brougth it back, I was so so happy. A dream come true. I have to say it. Gears 5 Free For All mode with 14 players is the best multiplayer experience ever! A Masterpiece gamemode! If you have Game Pass or Gears 5, I really encourage you to play Free for all 14 players. The game has been out for several years now but I always come back to Gears 5 just to play FFA and I always have a ton of fun! Never get enough of it. It's truly unique and an experience worth having. Gears 5 is very underrated and deserves a lot better. There's have been other type of games in the franchise too, such as Gears Tactics and Gears POP (I played the hell out of it! It was amazing too. I miss you so much... R.I.P Gears POP). I know this video is dedicated to the original Gears of War but I just wanted to express my passion for this franchise and how much it means to me and hopefully many others. Once again Charlie, thank you so much for making this video. Seeing this video brings me a lot of nostalgia, specially playing it the way intended, as everyone else for the very first time. I'm pretty sure you encouraged a lot of veteran players to revisit the first games and hopefully brougth a lot of newcomers too. If you're new to the franchise, I really recommend you to give it a try. Gears 6, we're waiting for you. :')

TC also planned on releasing the game in 2020, but Microsoft forced them to release it early alongside gamepass, and it never really became a full packaged game until operation 4, which was a year after the game came out. Too many people had already left the game by the time it had content, which is very similar to what happened to halo infinite but at least infinite was free

I own 3 physical copies of Gears of War 2. One just the standard case. One just the steel bookcase. And one of the whole boxset with the art book in French. I will continue to buy physical copies of it whenever I see it simply because it is byfar my most favorite game I have ever played. I love you, Gears of War 2. And as a side note. The Carmine family is my absolute favorite series of characters in any franchise whatsoever. Their story is one of the best in my opinion.

The ending to Gears 2 is still my favorite ending to any game ever, this trilogy was a cornerstone in my 360 childhood. Co-op w/ my brothers was peak

Like most games in the ‘00s it suffered with tonal saturation in that it was a slight variation of grey, green, and brown, something we saw greatly changed in the sequels
