GEARS TACTICS All Cutscenes Movie HD

[@MKIceAndFire]

Part 4 and the rest of the walkthrough will be uploaded today! Huge thanks to Microsoft for giving me early access to this game and letting me share it with you guys! Here are my first impressions of the game. So this is my first time playing a turn-based tactics game, and I'm having so much fun only a few hours into the game. Gears Tactics has made me want to play other games like this and upload it on the channel. I've been missing out on this genre for sure. I won't talk much about the story for spoilers reasons, but the game takes twelve years before the first Gears Of War. The main characters we follow are Gabe Diaz (Kait Diaz's father) Sid Redburn and Mikayla Dorn. If you pre-order the game before April 28th, you will receive the Thrashball Cole Character Pack and get to play as Cole Train. As for graphics and performance, well, it runs beautifully and looks amazing. I played on 4K with the options set to ultra, and it still runs great. There is some texture pop-in when you start a new mission, but this gets fixed within a few seconds, so not a huge deal. I am playing on an SSD. The cutscenes in this game look amazing, just like the main Gears series. There are five distinct character classes you can play with - Support, Vanguard, Scout, Sniper, and Heavy. They all have a unique main weapon. There's a bunch of customization you can make for the characters like weapon and armor mods. You get these mods by finding crates in missions and open them once you have completed the mission. Thankfully there are no microtransactions in this game.

[@WarGrowlmon18]

Ukkon actually first appeared in the Rise of RAAM comic book series a few years ago. The Bloodlines novel also expands upon Gabe's backstory as a Pendulum Wars hero. He was actually a Lieutenant Colonel who self-demoted rather than continue to deal with the bureaucracy and hard decisions he had to make as a result. Nearly resigned instead but Hoffman convinced Gabe to find another solution. He died of Rustlung about a decade before Gears 4.

Source?

[@WarGrowlmon18]

I feel like I need to clear some things up for those complainers out there. This is not Ukkon's first appearance: he was in the Rise of RAAM comic book series. Also, he's a Sire which makes him technically a precursor to the Locust. The Sires are those creatures at the New Hope Research Facility in Gears of War 2 that awaken after you access Niles' message. I think they're in Gears 5 too. They were all mindless beasts except for Ukkon apparently. And for those pointing out his ability to speak normally, his status as a Sire means that Ukkon used to be human. That's why he can speak like a normal person unlike the other Locust. All of this stuff about the Locust origin story has been canon since Gears 5 and heavily implied since Gears 2. Gears 5 really just filled in all of the blanks left by Gears 2.

The country the last part of the game takes place in, Vasgar, is one of only two countries in the Gears world that ever makes a major physical appearance: it's in Gears of War: Anvil Gate, Tactics and Gears 5. Anvil Gate from Gears 3 is on the border of that country and it's also where Delta reunited with Paduk in Gears 5. The other major country is Tyrus where everything else happens.

[@theusualgamers3242]

Technically Anvil Gate is on the border between Kashkur and Vasgar, so you can make the case that Kashkur makes an appearance as well.

[@WarGrowlmon18]

Sid's actually mentioned in one of the Gears 5 collectibles.

[@WarGrowlmon18]

The story behind Gatka Ridge is this: in the last year of the Pendulum Wars, Gabe was a Lieutenant Colonel stationed on the island of Vectes, incidentally where Prescott relocated humanity to between the events of Gears 2 and 3 before the Lambent threat forced them off of the island. Vectes is one of the few places on the planet that not even the Locust can get to. Anyway, during a mission on the nearby island of Knifespire, they accidentally uncovered a new Imulsion source. Gabe, his Gears and a group of sailors attempted to take the Imulsion from the UIR in the Battle of Gatka Ridge, but were outnumbered and outgunned. Gabe managed to drop a mountain onto the Imulsion source, burying it and he won the battle, but he lost a lot of people. One such person was his and Oscar's adopted brother Wyatt who died blowing up a UIR fleet while following orders Gabe gave him. Afterwards, Prescott, then just the Deputy Chairman, ordered Gabe to excavate the new Imulsion source even though it would cost a lot of lives to do. Gabe refused and considered resigning, but Colonel Hoffman convinced him to find another option. While fixing his broken chair, Gabe came up with the idea of working on fixing things instead and so demoted himself to Sergeant and Motor Pool. He was probably inspired by an earlier conversation with a sailor who had once worked in Psy-Ops and had undergone a similar change after hating his work.

[@guy_with_no_name7317]

Are you shitting me right now? Why would the graphics be as bad as a ‘06 game?

[@HeathBlythe]

Well, I’ve no idea what y’all are talking about. But my point of view is, top down games usually have below average “close up” textures, since normally, you can’t zoom all the way in, for example, a character’s head. Hence there’s no need for ultra quality textures because no one’s going to be as close as any other 3rd person game would. My comparison is that Gears Tactics which is a top down game, has more quality textures when zoomed in, than Gears of War 1, which is a 3rd person game.

[@bkelso61]

@@HeathBlythe Yea, but GOW was back in 06 in it's defense. Even if it's a top down game, it's attached to gears and by this point Gears is usually good on graphics and textures.

[@daswordofgork9823]

Honestly, this game should have been a Company of Heroes game.

[@astrovarius543]

It was originally planned to be, but they took it in this direction instead.

[@ashishtanwar9748]

This game is super addictive and entertaining loved it

[@ronixmedina3690]

Guys,Reyna is a half locust and half human, She has a locust crest on her hands and says” I never knew her.” I think she may be the granddaughter of queen Meyra I think. I don’t know I could be wrong

[@WarGrowlmon18]

She's Myrrah's daughter.

[@The_Music_Chef]

Kinda late bro. And Reynas the daughter and Kait is the granddaughter

[@alejandrosantos64]

No your right idk if you played gears 5 when kait went to find niles

[@Tvwatcher341]

I don't blame Gabe for walking away from the war with the locust after what they discovered about New Hope and what Prescott just pulled. The only thing I wish he did was to give us all heads up about New Hope instead of waiting years for Prescott to declassified the file and losing a lot a people in the process.

[@WarGrowlmon18]

Gabe later died of Rustlung. He actually used to be a Lieutenant Colonel too

[@Staglaitor]

I envy those who love sci-fi - cool game!, - but is there something similar in the dark fantasy style? tactics turn-based? About battle brothers - already known :)

OMG!! THIS IS F...ING AWESOME!!!

[@kingralph63]

I gotta tell y’all the truth I don’t really care for the Diaz’s as much as I care for Marcus, Cole, Baird, Clayton, and the other OG’s. This story is still interesting don’t get me wrong but I don’t care about the Diaz characters.

[@wh3nderson95]

The way the story is structured does not leave a good impression on them. Sid and Gabe do not feel like lifelong companions and thus makes the sense of brotherhood feel weak, like what the happened with Gears 4 and 5. Plus, it does not make complete narrative sense for the Chairman go send Sid with very sensitive information to a known rogue and experienced Gear. Also, the banter with the characters feel very robotic. Heck, Sid feels like a stronger main character than Gabe.

[@kingralph63]

HUNK The Diaz’s messed up Gears4 and Gears5

[@ponds542]

Everytime I seee Gabe I see JD and dom

[@kymanee21]

Haha I know that voice actor from RDR2

[@K1NG0FW0LV35]

Charles the big bad lone wolf!

[@carlosmariscal6228]

I like that Gears is branching out I fell like this will be what Halo Wars is to Halo. But god damn do I wish this story was a shooter I've wanted a Gears game set in the early days of the Locust war I know Judgement was that and I really enjoyed that game play but the story felt like a second thought.

[@RusticRonnie]

Halo wars was what halo was originally supposed to be. It is more of a through back to the early development. This is just a spin if and is way less interesting. Also I don't see them making more.

[@jennycat0592]

I can’t not think of Charles Smith when he talks

[@jakobottsman7470]

Is Diaz kaits dad

[@brayanalvarado7085]

Yep Gabe Diaz is the father

[@jakobottsman7470]

Are you serious

[@theveiledman229]

Jakob Ottsman Yes. Check the wiki

@@jakobottsman7470 Kate Diaz. Gabe Diaz. What do you think?

[@Ascension646]

Xcom reskin looks pretty good.

[@K1NG0FW0LV35]

im sorry but I cannot unhear Charles Smith in Gabe

[@raijusilver3449]

This story would have been relevant if the Ukon turned into the Imultion hive mind. At the end of gears 3 the Lambent survived in the Locus bodies, and Ukon used Reyna’s Locus blood to form a new body. Then at gears 4 the story has a real new faction. Then at gears 5 Kait becomes the Locus Queen leading them to kill the Swarm. Then when she would meet the new Ukon instead of Del or Jd dying Lizzie could have sacrificed herself to save them. But instead we got this.

[@wh3nderson95]

I don't know because it would harm the story for the earlier Gears games. Ukkon being some sort of Imulsion hive mind would mean it wanted to force an evolution on the Locust and absorb humanity as well. But for the marketing to focus entirely on Ukkon. He does feel like a very weak villain when RAAM, Skorge, and Karne set the bar so high of the effectiveness of Locust leadership.

[@dustinserrano4316]

Obviously Oscar diaz is related to Gabe.... also Gabe and Reyna get it on and have kate right ???? Unless im missing something here

[@WarGrowlmon18]

No you're not

[@WarGrowlmon18]

Oscar is Gabe's brother. He and Reyna are Kait's parents

[@masseffectlove1014]

Its a Theory but is it possible for Diaz to be Kate's father?

[@BigAmericanMan9001]

That's confirmed my dude

[@WarGrowlmon18]

He is. The book Gears of War: Bloodlines actually expands upon his background revealing that he was a Lieutenant Colonel in the Pendulum Wars but purposely demoted himself after becoming tired of the bureaucracy. Diaz died of Rustlung about a decade before Gears 4.

[@masseffectlove1014]

@@WarGrowlmon18 thanks for the info.

[@gcircle]

The fact Gabe's last name is Diaz, same as Kait's, is a dead giveaway. No need for theories.

[@ivandc20]

I prefer to just watch the cutscenes. The story was good but gameplay was aweful, the worst I think. Gears wasn't made to be a top view camera franchise in my opinion

[@dannyodee1990]

I literally thought that was Maria, not rynaa lol

[@thenewadventuresofhenry6998]

According to Barricade2091's fan fiction, one member of Maria's Family, Ivan Torres, survived the Locust War.
