It's fun to reminisce, but not even really a question. Gears 1 was one of the great innovators of cover based third person shooters and gears 2 and 3 are among my all time favorites. I even enjoyed judgement, even though some people gave it a lot of crap.

People seem to have forgotten how revolutionary Gears or War was. The graphics were the best of its time. The 3rd person control set a new standard. The multiplayer was amazing. And oh my god… that first Berserker was absolute nightmare fuel. Every gamer was rightfully talking about this amazing game.

People forget how revolutionary Xbox was at a certain point in general. Their contributions to online gaming get overlooked all the time.

[@Concerned.Citizen]

​@@EdwinCloude people seem to really prefer ps5 to xbox nowadays, but you're right, xbox 360 exclusives like halo 3 and the gears of war series were amazing back in the day

[@matanfgaming640]

​@@Concerned.Citizen Whilst that does bear some truth, I have the luxury of owning them both and let me tell you Xbox has playstation beat in both hardware and timed exclusive. The graphics compared to ps5 is beautiful on top of ray tracing with most modern games you also get use Dolby vision and also Dolby Atmos which you can't use with ps5, the loading times are far faster then the ps5 and you can also have a load of games downloaded at once without the need of an expansion unlike again the ps5. And playstation this generation is baron for timed exclusive, it's been mainly one remaster after the other, yeah we got Spide-rman 2 and god of war Ragnarok, but Spider-Man 2 is a gloryfied dlc pushed as a what? An actual game much like modern warfare 3 last year. Yeah I love both playstation and Xbox but this generation Xbox back handing PlayStation out of the baseball game in every single way I just mentioned....

That 512MB meant the Xbox 360 could support party chat, whereas the PS3 at 256MB couldn't. If it wasn't for Epic Games and GOW1 we wouldn't have had that feature. Gears was also one of the first to introduce Horde mode. These days it is an iconic feature for some many games.

i was a senior in high school when Gears 1 came out. I remember my friends and i talking about it. We were all blown away by how insane the graphics were. It's definitly aged but its cool to go back and think man, these were cutting edge back then. Still not a bad looking game though even these days.

I replayed it last year. Still epic

[@missedmurphy]

Yes, yes it is. I don't know the person experiencing it for the first time, but when I played the game in the 2000's it meant alot. The campaign was amazing, the co-op excellent, and multiplayer was so competitive. Such an iconic game and series. Don't even get me started on Horde mode Edit: you can play most Gears game on 60 fps on Xbox by going into game details

GOW trilogy is pure simple gaming joy. Not everything needs to be a 50 hour RPG. I love those short 10 hour epic action packed campaigns. And the characters and story were sneaky good as well. It just rules.

[@erikbo2128]

When Gears 1 came out I was working 3rd shift and I was 19. All I did was play that game until I had to sleep for work. I was constantly in the top 100 for the war zone mode. I would anger people so badly because I would frag tag people and alway seem to get away. People hated it and it just made me do it more. I loved that game and the multi-player modes too.

[@vokuhila6913]

perfect timing with the marcus origin story coming out XD

[@BozoTheeClown]

[@JoshTT2]

I have a special place in my heart for Gears. We finally got good enough internet to play online - came home from school, created my Xbox Live profile and joined my friends online for Gears 2. My first ever online game. A splendid time was had, particularly with horde and campaign co-op. Staying up until dawn trying to finish it on the hardest difficulty in one sitting. Amazing times.

[@Texmex361]

I’ll never forget my friend in high school asking if I played gears I replied no what is it and his response was “you play as a steroid solider and saw giant monsters in half it’s awesome”

[@markbott6838]

Gears of war 3 is the only game that I ever picked up at a midnight release. I played it all night with my best friend and brother into the early morning hours and even called off of work the following day to continue playing. We all did. My best friend, brother and I played out the story and the Dom moment still sticks with me. We were all quiet and took a little break after that moment. It is the only video game to ever make me tear up, that moment hit hard. My best friend passed away on Feb 29,2020. I put my copy of gears 3 in his casket and have not played that game since. RIP Llama, I miss you brother.

[@christopherwhite2223]

Gears was the main reason I bought a 360 and has been the only reason I bought the xbox one and the series x. The story is good, horde us fantastic and the multi-player was always a blast and I still play gears 5 periodically. Awesome series

[@CptnDooku]

As someone who has slept on these games for almost 20 years, I just started playing them for the first time (E Day trailer brought me in). Finished 1, and it was fun co op, but just alright. Finished 2, and I fell in love. Even found some multiplayer and Horde lobbies to try out. Going to either start Judgment or 3 next.

[@pubsnacks4926]

Yes, yes they were. I replayed each of the original trilogy three times over the last four years with my girlfriend. They were just as good now as they were when I originally played them on the 360. The games were technically amazing, the visuals were incredible and it was the only real series which nailed 3rd person shooting at the time. It was soo good that Bioware just straight up copied it for Mass Effect 2 and 3. Gnasher battles online were just awesome.

[@salient666]

I personally think that you should do retrospectives on games that aren't releasing new sequels, too. There some really cool games that need some spotlight, too. Dark cloud, the OG god of wars, the full metal alchemist games, the budokai games, tenkaichi games, etc.

Agree. I just hated they got rid of classic Gears controls for a more Cod-style oriented movement set, but beside that, it had great ideas such as declassified missions and the enemy dynamic respawn system. Also, it was the graphic peak of the time.

[@StonedUnicornPersonManThing]

Ima Gears of War vet been in love with the franchise since day one and I've gotten my friend who has never played a Gears of War game ever to play through it and we're doing it CO OP and my God. The Nostalgia I get whilst he is experiencing it for the first time, is just a weird feeling and his "grenade everything" mentality taught me something new I never even considered to do ever in Gears of War 1, during the encounter with the Beserker to toss grenades at the doors. I spent years, bloody years using the Beserker to break the doors down and my homie comes along and blows up a door with grenades accidently. I was flabbergasted and was constantly tripping over my words by that revelation almost two decades later, wish I had known that back in '06.... Would have helped a lot back then on Insane difficulty... I was ashamed of myself for not finding that out sooner LMAO!

Glad Gears is getting the proper love & respect it deserves again. Even the worst Gears game is at least "very good." I know people didn't like moving to Kait, but I still had a lot of fun with Gears 5. It's been said many times, but just look how well Gears 5 holds up today. The Coalition "magic" is real.

My favorite series by far. This story is incredible Gear of war judgement was fun too to be honest.

[@OfficialWhitson]

The answer is yes. The original trilogy, had a phenomenal development team that brought full games with great campaigns, awesome multiplayer and innovative third modes (horde). In my opinion Gears 1, 2 and 3 are up there with the likes of Mass Effect and I know the game is linear shooter but it was so well written. And Gears 3 Multiplayer? OMG - fucking awesome. Judgement and the new trilogy (even though it's in progress) dont quite hit that same itch that the original did. These games each have their own issues also but overall a step back. With that said. Super excited for E-Day.

Another thing that isn't mentioned nearly as often as it should, is that GoW was one of the first games to actually have great diversity of races with an absolute lack of bad stereotypes.

[@snoookie456]

Yes it is. It's so good, ever since it's release in 2006 the industry has built a AAA industry on its simple yet genius mechanics. It's so good it raised the bar for storytelling in video games. Gears is to third person shooters is what Half Life 2 is to first person shooters. The reason for this is the people who made this game cared about what experience would the players get out of it. To this day playing this game feels incredible. It was an instant classic and to this day at least to me is the only reason to ever get an xbox.
