[@HragFarraGaming]

To be fair.. the game didn't have a lot of memorable soundtracks besides this one.

[@chasemathes931]

XM Ajax you like this? This isn't even gears like. It does not sound like a gears game like it should. They need to change it and take off I'd from home screen because that irritates me or At least they should allow us to choose what character we want on our game menu. I'm also a hardcore gears fan and they didn't deliver a gears game that felt like a gears game.

I do to

[@etntheorychannel1588]

Chase Mathes I mean *Spoiler for Gears of War 3* The Locust were killed off and he was ended, this Fake was mostly about the aftermath. I agree it didn’t feel like a Gears of War game because their is no war at the moment. Though I do still like this game because it talks about what happened to all the characters.

my favorite menu themes in this order: Gears 2 Gears Judgement Gears 3 Gears 1 Gears 4 (Totally subject to change from time to time though) 2021 Update!!! I'm going to leave the original comment from 3 years ago. I've been having people tell me to update it and sound offended at my choices. Here's a new and improved updated list: Gears 2: None of the menu's in the series is more iconic. The music is exactly what Gears is. Mysterious, full of dark horns, and with the slight rattles of military drums in the background. Gears 3: It was a very exceptional theme. Nothing but fond memories with it. Gears Judgement: This is my third because the guitars are just so nicely mixed in with the ominousness in the theme. Gears 1: Basically Gears 2 but with less of the well-made music. Although it is still the OG, that does not mean it's the best. Gears 1 Ultimate Edition: The first of the newest Gears games to do the lackluster main menu. The music is a revamp of Gears 1 but the menu is simply not good. Gears 4: The first entry of the new storyline. It's main menu was lackluster and the music was nowhere near as good as 2, 3, or even Judgement. I was stoked for this game and the menu and music were the first things I noticed that sucked about this game. It suffers from what a lot of games do today... Lack of originality and/or creativity. Gears 5: Should've figured it'd be last. Interesting game though. But the main menu was like 4 (except somehow even more off the deep end). Gears 5 lacks what the original game's music was meant to represent. No wonder they dropped the "of War" in the title. There's nothing threatening or dark about it.

[@HragFarraGaming]

Gears 1, Gears 2, Gears Judgment, Gears 3 and Gears 4. Gears 1 is.. something else entirely.

[@lrn5152]

Hrag Farra yep! so ominous. not to mention the full soundtrack. it was full of literal heartpounding beats with a heavy horn sound to it. sounded very warlike. like all Hell was about to break loose. I hope Gears 5 is um... darker? grittier? because 4 WAS great but it didn't have that atmospheric despair feel to it.

[@HragFarraGaming]

Gears 4 campaign was awesome, but I agree about the atmosphere.. maybe because since it's after the Locust-Human War and civilization is returning to normal? There's hope in that world, but the Swarm is knocking down their doors so hopefully the 5th one is darker. I honestly pity to all gamers that haven't played the original Gears, Gears Remaster or the entire series for that matter. One thing I will mention though is the main menu music of Gears Judgment.. it's dark as fuck.

[@JillLulamoon]

As someone who grew up playing Halo and Gears of War on the 360, I have to say how much better The Coalition has handled this series compared to 343 and Halo. Gears 4 has issues but it's still a really solid game. 5 improved on it and had a really interesting open world campaign. I wouldn't be surprised if 6 gets announced soon. I'm right now replaying Gears of War 4 on Insane and having a blast. Absolutely love this menu music. Probably beats the first game as my favorite.

[@HragFarraGaming]

I agree. I felt Gears 5 was the more consistent game, than Gears 4 on MP, and the SP was fantastic. Gears 5 felt like Gears 2 level.

Danm, this game came out in October 2016, but for me in Summer 2019 I heard of Gears 5 releasing that year, seeing that Gears was an Xbox icon like Halo, I figured I’d play the games to catch up for Gears 5. So I started with either Judgment or Gears Ultimate and binged through the games. I even played the shit out of 3’s Horde mode. Got all the to Rank 60. But man this music feels nostalgic, playing Gears 4 quite a lot, not much anymore as 5 is the better multiplayer with more enemy types and Escape.

Yes it might not be as tragic and awesome as the Gears 2 theme but its not meant to be.

But whatever it is, its here, and it wants us all dead.
