I gave up on gears 6 after they said your playing as kait

[@Nolongerhereanymore]

Impressive

[@AximusPrime33]

Judgement would've been better if you got more than 2 weapons. Gears 5 would've been alot more fun if they got rid of half of the time you play as kate

[@SonofSpewy]

Agreed, Kate is fine as a character I just don't want to play as her

[@heuvelke1065]

2 weapons was nice. I had to decide everytime wich weapon i would want the most.

[@DoesntHurtYet]

Replaced the women entirely tbh

[@shadowpersonoftheunknown6245]

Judgement has the best music in the series

[@THEUNOSLOTT]

@@norcalbowhunter3264 agreed.. or they could’ve made it like that but just did a better job with the exploration. Instead of going back & forth like u said I wish they put more time into that aspect & made u actually WANT to do the exploring bc it was quit boring & a lot of repeated stuff I feel like.. if that makes sense ?

[@yummylumps9401]

As a kid I always thought it was kinda weird that in gears 1 act 5 was so short and always wanted to fight the brumak that chases you from Marcus's house and when I finally got to play it in the UE....I have never been so wrong in my life. That God damn T-rex on insane is literally insane I'm glad 6 year old me never got to fight it lol

[@KingAbzTV]

😂😂 & thanks btw man for recommending me to do this video!

[@SirBigWater]

I think I saw in an OXM magazine showing of the Gears PC chapters. Was awesome , but sadly cause I only had console then I didn't get them play it either until I got UE.

[@shadowpersonoftheunknown6245]

They changed one of the lines Baird says in the bonus chapters in Gears UE. In the PC version he says, "Brumak's gone, thankyouverymuch, and we're headed towards the powerlines... OH SHIT, IT'S BACK!!" But in the UE he says, "Brumak's gone, thankyouverymuch, and we're headed towards the powerlines...SHIIIT!" Which is a lot less funny

[@weddingcoder5988]

Amazing video, I thought I was decently versed in Gears trivia. Never knew Gears had things like a cereal, class oriented combat ideas, and a friggin Locust dragon. You think you’ll make a follow up video to this? Maybe mention things like the the OG roundhouse curbstomp, ideas or an Onyx Gaurd game, etc? There’s so many interesting things Gears has to offer

Ive heard that the reason for the grinder being removed from beast mode is because of technical issues on certain maps. strange because grinders seem to function fine even when modded in versus.

[@neowat1475]

My friend also had the beta/alpha of GoW3; in it I was able to play as the Reaver! His slot was actually in the 4th tier between the Armored Kantus & Digger!

[@mhmtakeyatime9000]

@@neowat1475 Oh yeah i recall seeing the reaver in some vids too! i believe it was cut because of the reaver not fitting on smaller/close quarters maps.

[@SpiritStoneWarrior94-yx3gs]

​@Andy Shrandy I mean if Star Wars Battlefront games could program you to only have certain models available in specific maps before GOW was released, I'm sure that the GOW franchise could have done that with the Reaver

[@MugApwool]

The cut content of gears 3 is probably the most interesting in the whole series. The cut weapons from the novels, the ps3 build, those two whole dlc campaigns that were once going to be in the game, all the cut levels, enemies and maps. It's a shame the guy who uploaded all those videos took them down. My personal favourite was probably the dual-wielding boltok kantus.

[@bitchpudding2945]

I think I remember! He was probably threatened with a lawsuit or something

[@_LorrZo]

The ps3 build? The Xbox build was so much better. When you mention gears of war, u think Xbox

[@peanutpaste1402]

U forgot where Marcus and dom wears a Theron suit to fit in with the locust to save a friend or something but it’s a deleted scene and didn’t make the cut

I believe that Troika Gunner wasn't used only because of bulletproof helmet. The whole selling point of this character would either be too OP by being the same an in singleplayer, or wouldnt make sense, "why its helmet is bulletproof in single, but in multi it isnt?". Great Video btw.

Thanks bro! A whole lotta whole grain for sure!!

[@Grandmastergav86]

Still think it's crazy that Lo Mang appeared in this - that's Li Hai Tao aka The Toad of The Five Venoms! Love him in Lion Vs Lion, Five Venoms, Invincible Shaolin & Two Champions of Shaolin - he was in a ton of other Venom and SB titles but those are my personal favourites. They wasted him in the Ip Man series.

[@BananaBrainsZEF]

Excellent video, and very well researched! I like to think I'm fairly well versed in Gears lore and development history. There were only five I didn't know about: Ukkon's pet, Hive Mode, Gears of War in Halo Forge, Brumak ammo carrier, and the Palace Guard sword.

[@KingAbzTV]

Thanks Banana! Damn you do know a lot then! But I’m glad I was able to find some of the most obscure bits of trivia.

[@MindsOfMany]

When I got my Xbox, i don’t know how long ago, I first got gears 4, been a fan ever since

[@kodata1021]

As a massive gears fan, for me the franchise is GoW1-3 after that it has a lot of connectivity issues and I'm not fond at all with the direction The Coalition is taking the franchise to... It was very dear to me and in all honesty gow1-3 wrapped it up perfectly, it never hit the same way as when Cliffy B made em ...

[@Captain_Insano_nomercy]

Totally agree, the worst thing they could do was ditch the OG characters. Even Judgement was better because it at least had some interesting lore and we all wanted a prequel to see more of the locust

Little known fact on Gears 1 multiplayer. There is a way to glitch the number of players on one team. Normally 4v4, I once joined a game where we had 5 players on one team. I actually recorded video proof of it myself but must have deleted the video for some reason.

A note on the cereal. You can see boxes of cereal on the ground at the last car of the train at the end of Gears 1. I’m unsure if it appears elsewhere in the game but I thought the free pillow was cute.

[@thewoolycontacts]

Still kind if turned off that the locust didnt exist underground as their own entity for thousands of years. All that amazing atmosphere in ancient looking and evil infrastructure... and it all was made quickly by creatures created in a lab. Someone messed up with the writing there. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@KingAbzTV]

I have some lore videos on the Locust origins, hollow creatures and so on to give more clarity! But also the Locust origins was already planned in Gears 2 Act 3, with Gears 2 being arguably the best story and campaign in the series

[@Captain_Insano_nomercy]

I really do agree. It's almost too cliche to do the whole "we humans created our worst nightmare" thing. I get it, it works because it's often true, I get that. It just feels cheap at some point. The unknown is far more scary, HP Lovecraft used the unknown to great effect. An enemy you can't understand at all is terrifying. I agree too that it ruined all the ancient city vibes of the hollow

[@spartanvadam2927]

Damn that intro was straight fire.

[@Criegrrunov]

I do wonder if Unreal Warfare had some connection to the Unreal or Unreal Tournament games, it most likely had, but lore wise it would have been nice if Gears of War was revealed to be in the same universe as Unreal.

Really interesting Gears of War Iceberg King Abz! As to my thoughts on 9:52 when The Coalition (or Microsoft?) dropped the "of War" as it did with Gears 5. To my personal opinion when the Gears 5 trailer first came out in June 2018, I was excited to see the game. But it feels weird to see the title called "Gears 5" instead of "Gears of War 5", even though somewhere between within the same year of 2018 or early 2019, they've stated that it is *still* a Gears of War franchise when the "of War" is removed. To answer the question, I find it unnecessary to drop the "of War" in the game titles or its comic and book series coming from The Coalition or Microsoft's decision. To look at the evidence in 9:35 when Rod was still in The Coalition at the time, he wanted to try to modernize the series by dropping the "of War" into just "Gears" in short. To my knowledge, it is understandable, but as I said, it feels unnecessary. But for us, Gears of War fans, calling it "Gears" for short as we may or may not want to say the full name from time to time, like Gears x (x is used as a number) for example. Or Gears 2, Gears 3, etc. But hey, that's my personal thoughts coming from the fans of Gears referring "Gears of War" name to its short term, "Gears". But I personally think they should bring back the "of War" in the next game as it may feel awkward to call it "Gears 6" (if that's the next game) in the box art or artwork related. But anyways, love the iceberg, and keep up the great work Abz! (P.S. sorry if this feels like a Short-Answer Question or one-paragraph essay when I took AP US History class due to the amount of writing we did. lol)
