Hello other gamers in their 30's. Gears was a hell of a trilogy for our teenage years huh? 😭

i turn 18 this year and gears was my childhood lmao great times

[@FriendsThatRapHQ]

This comment hits mane! 🤣 holy shit

Yes sir I’m 25 now but boy it was a fucking ride and I’m excited to see 6 and what’s the new direction. Not really a fan of the protagonist from 4 and 5 but alas I have to play as them. I prefer the OG characters.

[@Headbanger203]

As a short addon, it would be fine, it was nice in Gears 4 when you got a little snippit but gears is about fighting horrible beasties, I'd rather they kept away from generic bro dudes.

Holy Crap.. 4 hours of amazing story.. you have outdone yourself harry

1:37:13 still one of the most saddest scene in gaming history to me. I remember how sad and shocked I was. I felt for Dom, the voice acting was absolutely amazing. Incredible work Harry!

[@vocalgamer9222]

Four and a half hours?! Talk about no stone unturned! Seriously, as a Gears fan, I've been waiting for a long lore video like this. Thanks, Harry!

[@rowshak]

The thing with Dom, is that Gears was in the peak ofshare screen coop. From CoD to Halo, everyone were playing with buddies. So many of us started playing Dom instead of Marcus as a main character, since everytime we would play we would play him. When we found Maria and Dom plead Marcus to help him, it hit hard. We knew the only reason he was still standing was because of Marcus....but his sacrifice...it was like loosing a brother, loosing the main character for many players. Gears moving without him, left a void. And they kinda tried the same thing with JD and Dale. I think it was too soon. By the time we get into Dale as a character they off it.

[@zdeity3620]

Damn, Harry. You’re a beast for putting this whole thing together. Get some rest, friend. I bet you’re feeling pretty burned after working on that for so long

[@aegis6485]

As someone who has only played the games and doesn't have the attention span for the books, this is a gift. I always wanted to know what happened before Gears 3, and about the Pendulum Wars. Thank you!

Finally some attention on the amazing GoW universe! Fun fact about Sera(not mentioned in video): Sera originally was only has 1 mega continent surrounded by a massive ocean with spotted islands around it. Later changing to a world map more similar to earth. It's theorized that Sera is larger than earth by a significant degree.

[@draco_1876]

That’s probably why Serans are massive

[@majorgillis4082]

This has been one of the most detailed GoW lore reading I’ve heard. Honestly even after all of this time to learn the prequel to all of it was a surprise to me. This has made my day, and you deserve all the recognition you get for this masterpiece. Thanks for letting me relive an amazing part of my childhood

[@jindrichcip7031]

The commitment is insane. The video is so well edited and the script you wrote is so listenable. Truly one of the best video essays I've watched as of late. Additionally, I've played the original Gears of War on Xbox 360 when I was like 12, and I never understood the story because my English was practically non existent at the time. Now I'm just sitting here high enjoying your narration of the story :D Good job mate!

[@zerashkderp6920]

I remember playing gears 1-3 with my brother, we either played co-op or took turns getting killed and it brought a few good memories; shocked when the carmines kept getting killed (I thought they just kept making more to just die), shocked when kim died, almost depressed when dom died, wondering what they did to make ty off himself (i didnt know at the time because we didnt have any comics). When gears 4-5 came out we didnt play co-op and he didnt have as much time for gaming so I finished it for him, letting him know when the cut scenes came so it would be paused till he got caught up, it was a really happy-sad time getting all these memories, thank you for getting into the lore of a game I know helped strengthen my bond with my brother.

[@wilsonchan1597]

Hey GamingHarry, love your work on the Gear franchise, the gameplay videos/cutscenes are high quality along with your accurate description of the lore. Most importantly, thanks for pausing commentary and showing full cutscenes of Dom meeting Maria (Gears 2) and visiting her grave (Gears 3). Those parts make Gears a human story, about loss (sadness), (resilience) carry on while they are no longer around, fragile nature of life (life is unpredictable and short) & life is precious (good times don’t last forever)

[@terovryt]

A vid so nice, I watched it twice. Gears lore is fascinating, and this vid is all-encompassing. You nailed it! 🙌🙌

[@jakesomereve5568]

I see a lot of comments in here saying that gears 4 and 5 “fell off” or are just straight up not good games. They’re different, not bad games. I was 6 or 7 when I played gears 1 and I’ve been a fan of the entire series ever since. 4 and 5 included.

[@TheOriginalPoon]

Tbh the only “bad” one is 5, and that’s because the story is quite frankly nonsense and the choice is extremely stupid and manipulative, and the skiff really just sucks Judgment is fine, definitely one of the weaker ones though My issue with 5s story pertains to it just being a reset, Marcus deserves some damn rest for once, and the Locust just straight up being back now kind of ruins the sacrifices made during the original trilogy. I also REALLY HATE the choice. The game has you spend the majority of your time with Del, building him up, so you like him and don’t want anything bad to happen to him. Except the other option is Marcus Fenix’s son, a character who is barely present in this game but was the PC in 4, the son of the icon of the series who is a man who has lost so much in his life (even if you didn’t read any novels or comics, you know he lost his father twice and Dom just by playing the games). So the choice is either dude you spent the whole game with and you like being around, or the generic protagonist character who you only care about because of his relationship to THE main character of the series. It’s cheap, and we all know it’s Del that’s canonically going to die, so I don’t get why they gave you a choice.

[@theworstisover1323]

The timing of this is nuts. My wife and I replay this series from time to time and we're on the last act of Gears 5 as I type this!
