This was one of the 1st games I had ever played. I played the heck outta this game back in elementary school and the one section I was always scared to play was the first beserker section. The main 3 Gears of War games will forever be close to my heart. I remember seeing the trailer for Gears of War 2 and just being so pumped. Than with Gears of War 3 I remember waiting in line at Gamestop for the midnight release of it on a school night. Till this day I still play through the campaigns and the occasional Horde 1-50 with my brother. Oh and once you get to Gears of War 3 play the dlc campaign because the dlc is also a prequel to this game and its just pretty awesome.

But Gears 1 was such a vibe in 6th through 9th grade. Shit talking was so peak too, there were the people who werent good at talking shit so they defaulted to what people think of when they think of old xbox live trash talkers today. But a lot of us were genuinely funny and would make each other laugh while trash talking. Such a fun time.

I don't think Gears 4 and 5 were objectively bad, just not as good as the original trilogy. But in terms of 1-3 I felt it was a rare instance of each sequel getting better and better.
