Gears of War: Judgment: Giant Bomb Quick Look

[@strongforce79]

in the novels the goggles are used when chainsawing the locust, there bones are super dense, and when cut with the spinning chainsaw they fly like shrapnel, the goggles protect the gears eyes.

[@danielgonzalezisaiev9643]

Just played GoW3 yesterday for the first time in like a year. I had really forgot how fun, and frankly different, that game is.

[@BlackOut0189]

Yes, and you can also get day-one DLC for this DLC by buying the season pass along with the original $60

[@InfernoChaos]

I believe the reasoning behind what he said is because Gears was the game/series that started the popularity of 3rd Person Shooters on the consoles this gen and that it's hard for it to be generic when it was the one that started the trend. No matter what you say or think of Gears series itself you can't deny the influence it has, much like Uncharteds influence in making much more cinematic games or God of War making a different kind of action game compared to the likes of DMC and etc before it.

[@Renegado140]

Another reason to get Gears of war 3. Notice how two of the games have different gameplay styles and multiplayer modes that seperate the two, its kinda cool since its not like call of duty and the two games are completely different since well its made by People Can Fly

[@LeeShadow]

Well, I just found out the local Redbox has this in stock. Not sure if I should rent it or not. I guess I'll watch part of this QL and figure that out.

[@tedwickman]

no. free. and i just realized, horde mode is actually in the game. its just called survival now. honestly, the only 2 changes starting to annoy me so far are: in TDM, its COGS vs. COGS. its hard to tell whose the enemy even with the reddish color. secondly, you only have two weapons in TDM: choice primary, snub pistol, and choice grenades. if you want a gnasher, that has to be your primary unless you pick it up. otherwise the game is amazing and how gears should have been, once exec. is back

[@MSUHitman]

Also Overrun mode is the new version of Horde.

[@JohnyScissors]

It seems for every one step they take forward they take like 50 steps back with this game

[@rrcp1us]

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!

[@UpsideDownAce]

Any new enemies? -Kantus riding on a Bloodmount on screen- Err....uhmm...

[@thunderwoot]

3:25 sold me on this game.

[@veebanjo]

So did their testemony include them saying things like "and then i shot another grub and it's head exploded and i was like NICE! and cole was like WHOO!"

[@FourCogs]

Jeff and Vinny forever.

[@Sp1n1985]

If this is a prequel that mean there are still Kryll right?

[@ThatIndianGuy7116]

You know what, this game looks alright. I probably wouldn't spend 60 bucks on it, but if it goes down significantly in the next few months, I'll definitely pick it up because the story looks kind of interesting

[@rrcp1us]

Wasn't only gears of war 1 available on the PC?

[@TheInnerWork]

Vinny always sounds drunk, whenever he does these quick looks. It's like he is swerving about on the road with his head at the wheel. He can't control either his thoughts or his words.

[@tedwickman]

its there. its just called survival.

[@AOHarness]

I imagine Vinny is a gently lover.

[@deuser]

Please update ur app

[@INTRO173]

Glad I ended up selling my Xbox and getting a PC. I put 150+ days into the Gears series multiplayer (G1-G3, mostly 1 and 2) and this just doesn't look interesting to me. I'm sure it'll do fine, but not for me. It changed into a totally different game that doesn't relate to what I fell in love with.

[@Samouraii]

It's called a spin-off for a reason

[@strat066]

Welcome to gears of war.

[@AkimboLizard]

Gears 3 is innovative compared to other gears to a degree maybe, but it's hard to make a solid argument that it was innovative compared to the video game market which isn't it's fault, the market is so exhausted because of how long the consoles have survived. Deciding the fate of a character was pretty cool though

[@eandjproductions2]

I assume it's paid dlc correct?

[@TheInnerWork]

Figures, actually .. what with his name literally meaning 'wine' in Italian.

[@ArnielSarethi]

I haven't even finished gears of war 3 yet! I need more time!

[@Pub1icEnemy]

they even removed locust from multiplayer....

[@icetrey87]

lol remember when they combined warzone and execution for a while in 3? That was so dumb.

[@nualaoch507]

Just thouht I'd point out that Vinny doesn't literally mean wine; it just sounds like the Italian word for wine. Also, you know some weird drunks if that's what they sound like.

[@Sharkey3331]

But it did refine it to the point that TPS copies of it are getting annoyingly common

[@icetrey87]

lol except I enjoyed 1 through 3. The people in 3 who always cried that 1 was the only good multiplayer were pretty hilarious. The retro and sawed off both got cried over a lot in 3 because the retro outranged the gnasher and the sawed off required no aiming. What they refused to admit though was that the gnasher was still one of the most balanced weapons in the game. Good luck getting a triple with a sawed off. So many players got mad if you even used the retro though.

[@Bigjonmetal]

@SudarsanRagavan I see what you did there.

[@tedwickman]

survival mode is horde mode. guess you havent played the game yet

[@LeeShadow]

39:22 DAMN IT THEY COULD HAVE DONE GAMER FUEL FOR ANOTHER 3 MONTHS.

[@andrewstephens62]

This game looks like it would be entertaining for a short while, but it isn't enough to make me unpack and dust off the old 360.

[@LtDestroyer]

I'm waiting for this to go on sale, screw the abundance of must buy stuff. 60$ ffs.

[@magicalmysteryollie]

Execution will be free DLC very soon.

[@msanjeev]

I woud say Gears 3 was still pretty innovative. I think Gears Judgement tries to do something different but ultimately, seems like it falls short on the multiplayer side.

[@WOWman1919]

yep...looks like Gears of War

[@MSUHitman]

Execution is coming as free DLC thanks to Maxim in 2 weeks.

[@treppass]

not to say that its a bad game but I've played so much Gears up to this point that if there isn't really a decent story to flesh out the universe a bit and give me a reason to play more i really dont know whether i can be bothered with this.

[@CaptainBoltoks]

Execution comes out in a month i think.

[@MachineLaw]

Are you talking about God of War?

[@icetrey87]

And don't even get me started on the EZ mode multiplayer. Lol, instant weapon swaps, quickfire grenades, a semi-auto sniper with giant magazines, a two-shot sawn off.... I can't believe actual Gears fans wanted this game. I'm not the hardest of hardcore Gears fans, but I really enjoyed both the campaigns and many multiplayer modes of the original three. Heck, I even had fun with the Stay Frosty mode in 3 that most people hated. This is trash though.

[@Robby322]

That weapons swap animation is hilariously fast.

[@tedwickman]

dont know why this is but they will be releasing execution mode as a dlc in a few weeks. dont understand it. and horde. personally, i dont care

[@jayrobson88]

I dunno if these guys make themselves sound nerdier for the audience or what. What's with the "gears of war books" talk and vinny talkin bout him playing with his dad lol

[@lbkid1000]

god of war>gears of war or grears of war>god of war ?

[@MrTehPretender]

Not to suggest that the formula isn't becoming stale, but Gears is not generic in any way. Other third person shooters copy /it/, not the other way around. Nice try though.

[@Canteu04]

It made me sad when he walked up the Gnashers and just walked away. Double sawn off, quick weapon swap and instant magical sticky grenades. No thank you. This is gears of war casual mode through and through.

[@sudarsanvr]

GOW>GOW

[@MagikGimp]

Good grief does this seem dull.

[@x1teDota]

60 dollars and a mad shady business model for what looks like half a game. What the hell

[@m3pikma]

What? That would make sense in a perfect world but not in ours, the gaming industry is going for generic shit more than ever before, look at NPD numbers and release lists for everything but PC/Handhelds, I mean, Indies are kinda fighting their way with a lot of creativity, but they're not there yet either.

[@RazgulTheKind]

Seriously, look at Killswitch one the PS2 and even WinBack on the PS1. Gears didn't revolutionize or invent anything.

[@gun1987gunn]

I don't like xbox at all, but Gears Of war is a great game. I'd be a fanboy douchebag not to admit it.

[@RazgulTheKind]

I'll think you'll find we were discussing how generic the game is. And it is very generic, all for reasons I've listed. The fact Gears brought nothing new to the table only amplifies how generic it is.

[@junkanoopunch]

NO HORDE mode LMAO fuck this game.

[@AaronDew]

I've been playing the Gears clone Inversion. That's more fun than this game looks.

[@iMrHydraa]

Meh.

[@icetrey87]

It hurts me that Jeff doesn't realize what absolute trash this is for Gears fans. It's obvious he's not really that big of a fan of the series though since he thought Kantuses were in the first game and said he didn't like shotguns in Gears (lol). People Can Fly should have never let anywhere near Gears. They turned single player into some dumb score attack/challenge mode instead of just having it be a cool story with cool cinematics and cool characters like the 'actual' games.

[@evilbunnywalkthrough]

Yeah but cover based mechanics did not work well in those games, gears of war found a way to make it work and ever since every third person shooter under the sun has copied gears of war

[@coolgamer77]

Yay. No Patrick!

[@strongforce79]

wow is that weapon changing animation broken lord that looks horrible.

[@RazgulTheKind]

Not sure how you came to that conclusion, but Gears is definitely generic. Nice try though.

[@amannerik]

Im stickin to gears 3 no downs. No dpad weopon start only 3 weopons spawn this game is a dissapointment true gears fans stick to gears 3. I really hope enough ppl play gears 3 still

[@eandjproductions2]

Wow what a disappointment. A Gears game without Horde or Execution are you kidding me?

[@qwoppo]

This might have been true for the first Gears of War, but by now every iteration is less and less innovative.

[@XeloX]

Thank fuck, a quick-look without Patrick. Don't know why but I can't stand him for some reason. Made me not watch a lot of video's thus far. I've been a loyal fan of GiantBomb for quite a few years now but I refuse to watch any video with Patrick in it. Please tell me i'm not the only one that has this issue....

[@josephrivas4762]

IS IT ME OR DOES THE AI LOOK LIKE DOGSHIT???

[@RazgulTheKind]

Think about it, what does Gears bring to the table in terms of originality? Nothing. Over testosterone filled main characters An all ecompassing world ending doom A generic, slightly futuristic setting 3rd person cover based shooting ALL have been done before and ALL have been done better. Gears of War is generic as they come, and is struggling to stay relevant to a market that's shifiting it's focus from quick adrenaline thrills to more meaningful gaming.

[@Sonyboj]

Gameplay looks real boring. UC2-3 seems to have better combat

[@TheInnerWork]

28:23 E-holes? Is that some kind of dude bro homophobic joke? They are defending their E-holes.. *shrugs*
