This Achievement in Gears of War was an INSANE Experience

Today I try to get the most skill intensive achievement in Gears of War. Unfortunately I wasn't able to make a video on Seriously since all it would be is boosting, but hopefully this makes up for it.
Apologies for all the blurs as well, no way around it here unfortunately

The guidelines policy doesn't allow for pieces of human to go flying otherwise the vid has its reach nuked, but I'll be posting the uneditied VODs on the other channel and if this video does well/theres a demand for it/if its even allowed lol, then I'll see if I can find a way to link an unblurred version here in a week or two.

Man, I remember doing this on GoW1 and 2 way back, it was absolutely brutal, even with co-op. That feeling when you reached the end, though? Fantastic.

[@Snamwiches]

Absolutely my friend. Congrats on doing this too!

[@bleep410]

Doing this solo on 2 was painfully brutal, became massively better at using a sniper in all shooters for a while after beating it though. I think coop is a huge decrease in difficulty though, the revive system actually working is a huge positive.

[@TheLanceUppercut]

Solo Insane Gears 2 is still to this day the hardest thing I've ever accomplished in a video game. I was stuck on the bit right before you find Maria for AGES.

[@milorincon6448]

I did this not too long ago and it was very hard

My friend and I loved GoW2 horde mode. We would play it for hours, getting into the hundreds of rounds before we get killed to just start another round of horde. Some of my favorite memories from childhood.

[@Snamwiches]

That’s awesome man, glad Gears could give you a bunch of good memories :)

I really miss GoW2 horde mode & resistance 2 coop 8 player mode. Really missed opportunity we can’t play them both on Pc

[@RaeontheLeft]

@@elljit I haven't played in years so I forgot how high the rounds go. Still had hella fun playing with my friends 😋

[@tournesol99]

Gears 1 is the easiest to do on insane. The hammerburst melts enemies, it has some puzzle combat, enemies don't spawn constantly, and they like to ignore cover. RAAM flipping sucks and honestly the only way to beat him is to abuse cover and grenade spam so that he gets stuck.

[@RBFR01]

Raam was a bitch to kill.

[@Foxzolaire]

I love gow so much. Me and my brother played all the games on insane, and regularly go back down memory lane and play them again. I would be so happy if you continue this as a series.

[@tonymcnamee2741]

I got Gears of War on the day of release not long after getting my Xbox 360. I was totally blown away by it until my first playthrough ended and I realised how short it was. I then went for all cogs and insane mode and I remember getting so stuck in the mansion and at General RAAM. Can't even remember if I used the turret or not. 😅

[@warmredwater]

i had no idea the turret was that effective. i had to use the bug where he can get stuff on the environment and you blind fire until he dies. this game was way more enjoyable on the hardest difficulties.

[@JC5481]

I remember going through the Gears series on the hardest difficulty, I never felt it was that bad, yes I died a couple of times, but other games were far more brutal in terms of difficulty

[@PodreyJenkin138]

It's not gruelling it's just not fun, insane in GOW 1 is the best with 2/3 being the hardest, but overall I've avoided it for years because it just removes a lot of the fun of the sandbox like gnasher and chainsaw kills because it's too risky to close distance, your lack of health and the increase in enemy health turns everything into peaking with the lancer or using longshot but even that suffers from having to headshot a enemy as many as three times It's a fun challenge if you want to make gears unfair but for a replay I always do hardcore because it's not easy but not too difficult and you can do more

[@thebois8048]

Hey Snam!!! Thank you so much for doing Gears of War. This is one of my childhood favorites as well as halo. No one ever does this achievement and it sucks 😅. Love your videos!!!

[@brenen9065]

The Gears games started my journey into replaying games I've played in the past on their hardest difficulty (Evil Within's AKUMU, Dead Space 2 and 3's Hardcore modes, Outlast's Insane difficulty, MW1 Veteran, etc), and the results? Think of it like a Hellraiser movie, pain and suffering, mixed with a good time

[@Snamwiches]

Hah that’s awesome, and a great catalogue of games to go back to as well!

[@stevenbuck4090]

One of the few games I got 100% completion on. I will always remember the moment I unlocked "Seriously..." From the campaign, I remember it be pretty easy, except for this turret section at the end where I *had* to get someone to come play co-op with me to pass it. Haven't finished the video yet, but my prediction is that will be a pain haha.

[@ramonperez5365]

If you want an additional G.o.W challenge, the inconceivable difficulties in the new series (4&5) were LEAGUES more difficult than insane, and while I’ve beat both on that difficulty, I definitely had to step away from the game at a few points. It’s all about figuring out the ranges the enemies can gank you, because the have the WONDERFUL habit of rushing you with gnasher shotties while you’re pinned down from longer range enemies. The problem is that you have a much shorter effective shotgun range compared to the grunts,but in many cases you need to be close. On top of that the boss enemies like the pouncers are super aggressive especially when you’re in cover so you have to not only dodge their attacks but you have to keep moving and relocate your cover constantly

Man I’ve heard! I’d love to do it in 5 if people enjoy seeing the Gears series on the channel. (Also the less gore option would save me like 3 hours of editing lmao)

[@almogosheriko]

Oh boy. I remember this game, fond memories. The funny thing is that you it is MUCH harder to play it in co-op than alone. This is because when a player controlled character is knocked out, he dies immediately and you both lose. When it is an AI they just fall down and need a pick up. Sure, they can be killed in that position but it is marginally easier from an instant game over. My brother and I, who played this game together, had to do a single player runs in Insane to get this achievement. Otherwise, you both lose your mind. Great video! Need more Gears!
