There is a quote from M.A.S.H. Now i don't remember the whole thing, but "hell is hell, war is war, and of the two war is by far the worse. Because with a few exceptions of those in charge, everyone goes into war innocent, but no one comes out innocent. " I probably got some of it wrong, but i think i got the point across

I think there should be a GOW trilogy centered around the Pendulum Wars. I personally liked the type of narrative that GOW Judgment has. I know that almost everyone hates "GOW Judgment" but i really liked it. There the story of Tay could be told, from the first moment he encounters UIR soldiers to death on the torture barge.

I never played gears of war 2 but I know that tai kaliso was brutal on torchered buy the locust, I mean, seeing the deep scars on his back. Really shows that the locusts are brutal.

The death of Tie always gets me every time I play G.O.W 2; same with Dom and Maria on 3. I know it’s off topic, but, I’ve just started playing Raams Shadows and loved Jace’s story before he was cog and how he was found in the bank fighting off wretches - so cool!

[@shagbabyyeah]

The original 3 gears is like the original 3 halos, or original three modern warfare. They all told grand stories of friendships and hardships of war. They all understood its shit. But they kept each other going. Games now are more about catering to the characters feelings about what’s right. Also there seems to be a lack of real military authority in new games. There’s all cartoony and childlike. Idk

3:55 "right ok Tai I get that 'n all but uh... like 4 or 5 people just died. You could at least pretend to be a little upset? Damn."

[@Foxster_13]

So I've begun my journey into playing the Gears of War Trilogy + Judgement Day as I've not actually played them before, and I've just encountered Tai's death. I've known about this moment for years, but I always expected Tai to have been taken at the start of the campaign and then maybe shows back up towards the end of the game. However, I had no idea that him being captured and then "rescued" were pretty close together, which makes me wonder how barbaric the Locust torture tactics actually are as from the moment that Marcus and Dom go down in the pods, maybe a couple of hours goes by, so to break a man like Tai Kaliso in that small amount of time, is actually kinda terrifying.

[@mr.skullfacegarcia775]

Tai Always reminds me of Samson from the Bible. Like This guy with godly Strength, But he's also a kind soul. I don't know. He always gave me those vibes.

[@NomadMonkey396]

I would love to see tai again in E-Day, he's such a cool character who was very selfless. He was also very hopeful and wanted to inspire it in others. Unfortunately, the locust did the impossible.

I grew up with the gears games and played the campaign over and over and over. When I saw Tai go out like that, I must have been like 8 years old. I didn't even cry, I was pissed and sawed through the rest of the locust scum lmfao. Anyway being 20 now, Gears of War will always stick with me and I hope that Gears of War 6 will revert back to the old, gritty, gorey era. Great video man.
