It's a GIANT WORM! Anya, they're sinking cities with a GIANT WOOooORM!
>>741230280I miss when Gears was actually good bros....
>>741230280>a gigantic, 10 mile long, kaiju sized worm was somehow able to sustain itself when everything else wouldn't be able to provide enough energy to feed and sustain it, nor would it have any proper amount of territory to support it I know gamers hate any level of scientific feasibility but a worm getting that big and then being able to survive past adulthood is farfethed.
>>741230280WE SHOULD TAKE JACINTO CITY AND PUSH IT SOMEWHERE ELSE
Gears 2 is the best in the series
I played through the entire trilogy and I still have no idea if Gears took place on Earth or not
>>741230962It's primary source of sustenance was rocks so it had plenty to eat.
>>741230962It eats the immulsion
>>741230280A giant..... WOOOOOORM????
>>741231174Gears 3 Anya my beloved
>>741231174She looks good in the little scenes you get from the sequel trilogy.
>>741231174Looks like shit in 1 and the 4 trailers but all the rest are fine.
>>741231174And Emergence Day?
why aren't 2 and 3 on pc?
>>741233007Some sort of legal mumbo jumbo where Epic still owns some of the rights to 2 and 3.
Did I just sink a city with a freaking worm?
>>741231174She looks cute in the GOW4 flashback, and fine for middle aged in 5. God awful in the trailer for some reaosn.
>>741234920It should be "Did I just sink a city... with my freaking worm?!"
>>741231174as always 2-3 are the best
>>741231174I have this fetish of women in very formal attires (almost male like smokings, toxedo etc.) giving blowjobs
it was a big worm
>>741230280alright lets hear your line delivery smart guy
>>741231174GoW3 pure sexo Stacey
Played through the GOW trilogy the first time in 2022, had an amazing time. Then played Judgement and it was just okay, did like some of the skill challenges.Do I bother playing through 4 and 5 with Game Pass or just leave my opinion of the series relatively untainted?
>>741230642E-Day looks kino
What happened to Gears 6?
>>741237086If you want, it's more of the same. Feels a little like "3 was clearly the end of this story but we wanna make more so here's more I guesss". Post-script story.
Tell me they didn't Better Man Marcus in 4 and 5
Oh my GOD it's a Lambent Brumak!And it's down.
>>741237716what does this even mean?
>>741237609why? you found killing robots fun?
>>741231074numerous times in the series they explain the planet is called Seradid you just not pay attention or skip all of the cutscenes or something?
>>741238749CANT FIND THE BUTTERMANOOOOHWOOOAAAAAAAHHHHhttps://youtu.be/nDK-wsdEhNE
>>741230280I will be honestI did a söyjak with the reveal
>>741230280Any time DiMaggio's grunts or yells for Marcus dip into Bender noises it cracks me up. Can't be helped.
>>741230280GROW A PAIR OF BALLSIM A STRONG WOMAN
>>741231174>White in GoW1, 2, 3, and 4>Suddenly turns black in 5 and the remakesStrange... Is there a term for this?
>>741241024what?
The only thing that matters at the of the day is who won and who lost. And you, my faithful gears... you won
How do I play through these without an Xbox?
>>741231174Marcus's wife.
>>741231174>killed her off with the biggest bullshit reason.REEEEE I WANTED MY HAG ANYA FORM
Now that's chewing the scenery.
tunnel snakes rule
>>741242862I remember when I was younger, in Gears 2, the post-round victory/loss lines were so good. Preston's loss ones were ruthless. There's one where he just berates you. I lived in a small house and my mom was passing by, I lost a game and she heard it and goes>".... oh my god anon, are you okay? He sounds upset" https://youtu.be/nj5wF709I-Q
>>741230280Gears had such amazing dialogue and voicework. love that scene
>TAI NOOOOO
DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
>>741244939could he not endure like a day of torture? Surely it wasn't that bad
>>741245296>"Hey Kai! We have come to rescue you! Damn, you ain't looking so good! Not in the talking mood, huh? ...Hey, Kai, I am standing right here, why aren't you making eye contact with me. It's like you're home but the lights ain't on. Anyways, here's a gun, we need to kill some Locust. Uh, Kai? You are supposed to aim the barrel at the enemy, you are pointing it at your own head. Aw Kai, always the jok- OH SHIT! KAI ACCIDENTALLY MISFIRED AND BLEW HIS BRAINS OUT!"
>>741237259>dei slopno
>find old series x for half the price of new >buy gears 1-2-3>complete story modes>multiplayer and horde are dead
>>741246619???
>>741247167You're pretending we didn't all see the ebin screaming butch women?
>>741231174marcus is so lucky...!
>>741247425Where?
>>741244186wtf happened to Preston's voice in Gears Tactics?
>>741230962It was hybernating until a few months prior.
Gears of War Redux is out btwhttps://www.nexusmods.com/gearsofwar/mods/28
i enjoyed gears 5. yeah the story was shit but all the modes were fun as fuck. i love gnashers so much its unreal
>>741244186your mom sounds lovely anon, I hope she is well
A WHAT?
>>741231173Holy shit we actually sunk it
>>741233007microsoft got confused when people asked for 1-3 to be ported to PC and accidentally ported 1 to PC 3 times instead
>>741230280
>>741230962just say you don't like fun in your video games
A giant firm?
>>741233007there's an unofficial pc version of 3 out there2 never happened because nobody bought one on pc due to gfwl
>>741230280>>741230642I recently replayed the original trilogy1st game even after 2 remaster has the clunkiest mechanics. For a 2006 game it's a trail blazer but man it's rough in so many parts. Story is also mostly slapped onSecond game is genuinely peak. A consistently good roller coaster ride with a story that's simple but enjoyable.Third is a mess of concepts. Tries to evolve the franchise but keeps trying to stay the same. Rehashes plot points and ends okay. Could have been way better
>>741247810His best friend, wife, and potentially the only son died in his lifetime. I’d say he’s a walking pile of suffering
>>741245296Considering how Maria how ended up becoming after the torture, Tai experience only the tip of the iceberg which was enough to break him.
I really like the funky goggles some Locusts wore in the first 2 games
>>741244186Playing Preston and Hoffman in 3 was fun.
BOOM
>>741243194They really kill off Anya? Which game, 4 or 5? Why couldn't they just let Marcus and the surviving Gears have a bittersweet ending with 3...
Shit, I remember binging 1 and 2 a couple years ago, got to 3 and then I was a bit burnt out from the continuous play. Never did get back to it. Don't have any other games on me though, not without Game Pass, and I don't feel like dealing with that again any time soon.
>>741245296Was it even a full day? It felt like he was captured for like an hour and then decided to an hero, the timeline for this serious story beat always seemed silly to me. Like they twisted his nipples and carved him up a bit for an hour and he just immediately noped out of life, despite his badass stoic warrior attitude in the beginning of the game.
>>741242862Was Prescott in power during E-Day?
WHERES MY WIFE
>>741233007It is it's called emulate it
>>741230280The Carmine in this was my favorite character. Why'd they kill him so soon?
>>741245296Imagine having three locusts inside of you for 24 hours straight, including in your castration hole. He probably had "BLC" tattooed on his lower back and had no other recourse
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxZrSILng78
WRETCHES
I like how they spent all this explaining Kait's story for two games just to realize no one cared and brought back Marcus and Dom.
>>741259708>the sheer variety of teabag shennanigans to inflict upon DBNO players>extended with the punching executionThe salt...
>>741231049
>>741259841SCRATCH ONE GRUB
>>741231174Gears 3 Anya is exactly how I picture that character in my mind
>>741260003>always tried to do the beat down execution to whoever was the last player so everyone would see it>even better if it was 1v1>sometimes the dude would quitSome of the best times ever.
>>741259935nobody liked the robotsjust like nobody liked the robots(forerunners) in the 343 trilogy
>>741260186The robots were hardly the problem, hell that was mostly 4. It's that 4 and 5 dawdle around "oh the Locusts are back but WORSE AND CONVERTING PEOPLE" while we largely focus on the most new-age generic protagonists imaginable.
>>741230280was it woke that they made anya a soldier in the third game
>>741230280Master Chief looking rough.
>>741231174What race are 1R and 4(fb) supposed to be?
>>741231074I've played every game, and read most of the books, and I still have no idea what the deal is with the non-humanoid monsters. Like, did the humans just not know about brumaks and corpsers and shit roaming around underground? Were they just okay with it?
>>741260296It was a logical progression at that point. She is honestly one of the best written female soldiers imo. Her VA is perfect and the fact she started out as "the woman in the chair giving intel" meme but eventually had to suit up fits great as well considering the state of the world, and the fact she is Marcus' love interest. Sam is a bit much, though. It makes sense a bit considering how much of a shit talker all the guys are but it was a big "girl power" moment I noticed.
>>741245296>deep as fuck lashes and hooks on his backGod knows what else they did.
>>741260249youre talking storyI was talking gameplay, aint nobody get no satisfaction killing robotsbut yes the story in 4 and 5 was awful relative to the simplicity of 1-3
>>741249896does it change anything in campaign?
>>741259569>Why'd they kill him so soon?Because he's a Carmine.
>>741260746>introduce girl Carmine in 5>killed her off in the most bullshit way possible you don't hate Gears 5 enough
>>741260746TCD
>>741245296Honestly it was probably just so that, when we find Maria, we have a point of reference for how brutal that shit is.
>>741260828IT'S NOT FUCKING FAIR
>>741260828I don't hate Gears 5 at all. I don't like it either.Basically I finished it and had no feelings about it one way or the other and can't really remember anything about it.
>>741261064Who did you kill in the end?
>>741230962Worms can absorb nutrients from just about anything, you too will fuel the worms when you die.
>The End>Actually.........it wasn't.
>somehow locust returned
>>741261237>we defeated the locust, stopped the imulsion, saved the world, the end>and then anya and the cog proceeded to just dump the crystalized locusts in landfills because it was too much effort mulching them and now they're back for revengeance
>>741261096¯\_(O_o)_/¯
>>741230280Gears of Wars basically proved that the further you keep women away from a game the better it became. The fact 3rd is the weakest and they buckled to awkwardly include women into the franchise into a more hamfisted way proved this.Women characters are literal metaphorical millstones people only add on for either political reasons or because they feel they 'have to'. even when they don't actually need too.
are judgement 4 and 5 any good never played them
>>741261463I'm 100% sure that "muh women" poster in E-day threads is always the same person
>>741261463>3rd is the weakestDid you forget about this absolute turd of a game? Even 4 and 5 are better than Judgment
>>741261530no not really.Judgement did have a neat multiplayer mode where you played as the locust where you could be a boomer or a ticker etc, but good luck finding a match these days.
>>741261581Gears of War 1 and 2 proudly and with great vigor, rejected the notion of female combatants and shoved their scant few women characters to the edges of the story and gave them a combined screentime of 2 minutes. They even brought a bunch of 'womyn' kicking and screaming back into the breeding farms in a tie in comic book and presented it as a morale good. That's how much they hated the concept, Gears of War was a game for men doing manly things, no women allowed.
>>741261617That was DLC for 3 repackaged as a full game. I remember saying that and getting raged at by retarded mongoloids, probably the same creatures who bought Horse Armor and the Celestial Steed in WoW.
>>741261320I thought the cocoons were fucking impossible to break open, like even diamond couldn’t scratch the crystal. The bullshit part is that Marcus’ dad died to the anti immulsion device yet it just put the locust into a sleeping state that gave them greater powers.
>A siege mode with 12 people This is going to be fun as fuck
>>741261530Judgment is trash4 is just very brand and forgettable 5 has a dumb girlboss main character and shitty open world segments in the campaign but the multiplayer stuff like Horde and Escape are pretty good
>>741259569Benjamin was too pure for this world.Sleep, King.
>>741230280DOMSHE WAS ALL FUCKED UP AND GREYDOM
>>741261463>can chainsaw a bitch in half>gnasher her into pieces>curb stomp themIt seemed like a double-edged sword. You got the women mucking up the story a bit (still didn't take away from Dom's death though) but could blast them apart online.>>741261691Anya is literally the brains on the operations and is talking to you through the 1st and 2nd game. I'd be willing to bet she has the most lines. She was away from the combat but probably one of top 4-5 important characters in first two for sure.
>>741261530Judgment is kind of a dumb "new devs learning the ropes" filler game that's super arcadey and not to everyone's taste, though the GoW3 expansion hidden in there for Aftermath is neat I guess. 4 is very much a bland game all around, nothing interesting about it. 5's Kait story and the broken friendship drama is not only dogshit but actively resolves itself as fast as it possibly can to focus on shootan, but as a game it's alright.
>>741231049I've been replaying the trilogy and 2 is genuinely the best one, flows well, story is straightforward and the improved movement and enemy variety is great
MAAAD WORLD
>>741237609Still in limbo because the coalition probably wants to kill JD but the playerbase chose Del. Swarm sucks ass compared to the locust
>>741230962>a gigantic, 10 mile long, kaiju sized worm was somehow able to sustain itself when everything else wouldn't be able to provide enough energy to feed and sustain it, nor would it have any proper amount of territory to support itThe planet is a metric shitload of immulsion, which is basically living-gasoline. That's what it was eating.
>>741245296There's some comics that show the Locusts are pretty much experts on torture and breaking people
Gears 3 is really not that bad... yeah it has women combatants but they're done right. >Their existence as fighters is justified>they're hot>they're not mary sues>supportive>and they take a backseat to the actual male mc'sAnya is a strong woman done right. Anyone shitting on Gears 3 for having women is just having a kneejerk ignorant reaction and did not play the game. The multiplayer in Gears 3 was also very innovative and built a lot onto the existing gameplay (Which had grown stale towards the end of Gears 2).
Mad wooooorld
>>741260610The lore is really badly written.Basically the timeline is something like>Niggas dying from 'rustlung' (AKA, immulsion eating them)>Some guy tries making immune-to-immulsion niggas>These are the locust, somehow, lmao>They escape, live underground>Underground had some monsters but they were way smaller, like a tenth the size of the ones ingame>But magically the locust upscale them into kaijus within a few years in addition to multiplying like crazy despite canonically not having many females (lolwut)>Retarded surface suspects nothing, even when literal fucking godzillas are stomping around underground
>The main threat of extinction has ended, now it’s time to deal with post-war woman moment sagaCould have stopped at 3
>>741262426It peaked at LOOGIT ALL DAT JUICE
>>741262320Something about the locust only being like 50 years old was definitely a huge aura loss to me
>>741262610>Enough time for, optimistically, 5 generations assuming they grow up really fast>Becomes world-conquering army from at most 100 individuals, 95% of those being maleProtip, for any aspiring writers here!You want a species that multiplies like fucking crazy?1: Make the females fucking huge egg factories ala termite queens2: Make 99% of the population femaleAnything else makes zero sense.
>>741237716Shut the fuck up faz
>>741262782I don't think Gears cares all that much for reasonable logic, it's just trying to do expanded universe books and comics highlighted how silly everything is.
>>741262905>I don't think Gears cares all that much for reasonable logicOf course, it's a silly console cover shooter for kids.But that doesn't mean it can't be well written at least.
>>741262610The Kantus iirc aren’t locust but some kind of ancient humanoid.
Seeing un-juiced Marcus/Dom is so weird.
>>741262994>The Kantus iirc aren’t locust but some kind of ancient humanoid.ydrc. The kantus was just another strain of sires created at the same time. The longer a game series goes on, the wackier and nonsensical the overall lore becomes.
>Remastered Gears 1 twice>But not 2 and 3What gives
>>741230280This and Dom's dehydrated wife were hilarious.
>>741263356Pretty insane considering 2 is widely known as the best2cand 3 aren't even playable on pc if you don't stream them
can I play all these on PC?
>>741263375DOM.ITS MARIA.I SHOT MARIA, DOOOM.SHE WAS ALL FUCKED UP. AND GREY.
>>741259209Yea she was infertile, and the lady prime minister in 4 and 5 came up with some BREEDING PROGRAM which she volunteered for, she gave birth to JD, she tried again for another kid and that apparently killed her.
As someone who has never played Gow does the enemies are sentient? I thought you just killed random monsters
>>741263356I'm going to assume Ultimate Edition simply didn't sell that well. And it's not much surprise, Gears was past its hayday and the remaster didn't actually fix the game's glaring issues in any way since it was built directly on top of the original instead of a full remake rebuild of any sort. So you still had a random events plot of shit that "just happens", the ancient DBNO where you're stuck rooted where you're downed, clunkier controls and movement, etc. Combine that with the recent Reloaded which was a shit PC port and actually ruined things like the rain effects, and it's pretty damn cursed.
>>741245296There's a comic that shows the torture he endured, it was pretty horrific.
>>741263623Sentient but mostly cloned goons with a caste system where members have massive dymorphism.
>>741263623Locust are mutated/evolved humans. They are sapient although most are pretty stupid.The more powerful ones are as smart as people, or smarter.
>>7412311743 is my favorite
>>741263657Inside or outside?
>>741249440They got Liam 'O Brian to voice the character and he doesn't fit at all. Hell, Dwight Schultz would have been way better considering he replaced Charles Cioffi for voicing Prescott GOW 3.
>>741263623Not only are they sentient, they even have their own religion.RAAM doesn't follow it funny enough.
>>741260970>>741260828It's okay guys I went back in time and got her out of the car before the satellite strike hit.
>>741261989>spend the whole game shitting all over the WHITE MALE and trying to make him look bad while glorifying everything the female girlboss does as she runs around with her BBC (black black cog)>story is a complete fumble that makes JD look like a punished hero who did nothing wrong while Kait is a conniving schizo who was actually the villain the whole timeCrazy how the same scenario plays out every timeDel isn't even a bad character but he's nowhere close to as interesting or plot relevant as JD
>>741263679>>741263685>>741263857Huh thats neat, I like weird societies like that
They got rid of Prescott and the queen yelling at you for losing in mutiplayer because the coalition said it was creating a toxic atmosphere. People don’t want to feel bad for losing.
>>741264010It's still their in later Gears with Jinn yelling at the Gears and Niles yelling at the Swarm
>>741263929And people overwhelmingly decided to save JD over Del.
Anonya, it's a giant girl! They're sinking 4chan with a GIANT GIIIIIRL!
>>741264086THE WHITE MAN MARCHES ON
>>741264086Why the FUCK would I break Marcus heart like that
>>741264238Character development
>>741264250>Lost his best friend and wifeNa man, he's been through enough.
>>741264238You wouldn't, but the spiteful gits at Coalition clearly wanted you to.
>>741241024The term isWhite erasureTurning historically White characters into non-whites, be they real factual people, or fictional.
>>741230280https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFvgEOqDgfc
>>741264287For sure, painting JD as giga lord chud and having you spend the game with Del.
>>741262859Best line of 5. Marcus fights the woke better than Kratos. Telling a retard (cripple if you want PC) to shut the fuck up even at that time was surprising.>>741264278This. Fuck Del, he was a bitch and a shitty best friend compared to Dom.
>>741264287well I'm not gonna kill the offspring of the main character and end the entire notion of him carrying on humanity
>>741264250>Dead mom>Dead old best friend (Carlos)>Dead dad (or so he thinks)>Dead friends in jail and gets mauled by dogs>Dead best friend's wife>Dead best friend>Dead dad (for real)>Dead wife>Dead wife's house gets torn up because idiot son drags the feds that turn it to mulch>Dead best friends tomatos gets ruined after idiot son shoots them (albeit leading to his funniest rant)>Dead idiot son (if you so choose)This man doesn't need anymore character development

>>741244186based mom lol
>>741231049I prefer one due to everything being new and really creepy. You didn't know anything about the locusts, going out at night got you killed, it really sold the post-apocalyptic war angle. The dark vibe was tops. The more you learned about the world the less interesting it got.
>>741262058Maybe the only story where woman combatants is fully justified. There is so few people and the situation is so dangerous that the only hope is putting a rifle in the hands of every man, woman, and child. Much like the Siege of Vienna.
>>741269342Gears 1 made me think humanity was down to a few hundred thousand overall. Gears 2 showed theres still millions of people left in various cities, many of which were evacuated to Jacinto. The books said there were humans on islands and other nations. Its true, anytime they added new stuff it just cheapened the initial, apocalyptic premise. With better graphics came brighter levels I mean the final act takes place on a tropical island for the elites…
For me its the Savage Grenadier and Theron guard.
>>741263801Do my eyes deceive me but did I really just see the Locust hand you your collective ASSES!!
>>741230280>It's mad world! They're making adverts with mad woooorld!

>>741274135Who else they would cast? The voice is too ingrained into peoples minds.
>>741274135I haven't seen any of the newer Futurama so I don't know if he's showing his age or not, but given he already had a gruff voice he made extra gruff for Gears I don't think it'll be all that noticeable.

>>741264645Redpill me on the tomatoes >>741266435I feel this irlI'm all developed, don't need any more suffering, thanks
>>741282353That's basically it. Marcus's deadbeat ass son becomes a glowie and leads the glowniggers back to his house, where they have an epic shootout that destroys the place. The feds burn down the tomato plants that Marcus grew with Dom's seeds.
>>741281101Cole I know it's you
>>741282295>probably More like definitely. Only Dom and Marc are on the cover and these new characters got 0 mentions in the whole series. They are nobodies. I wish she got replaced with Tai. Just makes sense but western devs can't help it.

>OP hits me with a wave of nostalgia>Feeling good about Gears for first time in almost a decade because e-day looks pretty sick>Read through thread>Almost half the posts are culture war faggotryYou niggers need to get the fuck off the Internet for at least a month and unfuck your brains, God damn. Go touch grass and shit. It is impossible to talk about videogames with you. So fucking tedious.
>>741282493fucking GLOWIES
>>741282821Yeah, the COG is pretty evil in 4. JD is insufferable for all of 4, his backstory in 5 makes him look retarded, he spends most of 5 shitting on everyone in the squad out of insecurity, and then the game ends when he realizes "wow I've been a faggot this whole time." Between JD and Kait, the protagonist characters of sequel Gears are so fucking lame, it's wild they thought the players would like them.
>>741273463Is active reload copyrighted? Why don't more games do it?
>>7412302802>1>>>3>>>>>>>>anything else they released
It's kind of funny to think about how the Locust War was 14 years of basically nothing happening except siege and slow attrition until Marcus gets out of jail, and then the humans basically win instantly. Should have set him free sooner lol.
>>741261320>>741261746Wouldnt Adam Fenix have known that the radiation would turn the locust into crystals when he was testing the weapon? This whole plot point makes no sense.
>>741284032The Hammer strikes crippled the locust as much as it did the humans. Myrrah really thought she could just rapestomp humanity and that they wouldn’t use them. So now she had to replenish her numbers and fight the Lambent, another losing war since they’re assaulting the locust capital and winning by the time we get to 2.
>>741231049I like the gameplay and horde in 3. 2 has the best campaign
>>741284360>Give Adam an ultimatum: "cure lambency or we waste the surface">Adam tries his best but he's also fighting a war on his home turf at the same time (Myrrah knows this)>Adam wins his war>Openly tells everyone around him that now he's finally got time to devote his full attention to a big project he can't mention (helping the Locust)>Myrrah also knows this>Invades the surface 6 weeks later regardless>Even fighting on 2 fronts, the Locust were still 15 years away from defeatMyrrah literally could have done nothing and won, just wait for Adam to finish the work he was already doing for her
>>741282805We are in the middle of a culture war. This is bigger and more impactful than WW1 and 2. If you're not with us, you are against us.
When Gears 1-3 were still popular I remember tons of reviewers shitting on how unrealistically big the gears were. Yahtzee in particular loved to seethe about it. But then when I went to college, I saw a shitload of guys who were almost as big as Marcus and Cole. While it's true that not everyone can be as hardcore of a weightlifter as those dudes, it's clearly not straight up impossible to get that huge. All those game journos were just jealous. Jealousy is an ugly color.
>>741284609Remember she also hates humans for their experiments and when Adam proposes coexistence she says that humanity would despise them. Yeah no shit, humanity would despise you when you indiscriminately plan to genocide all of them, lobotomize servants and eat the rest.
it was anALASKANBULLWORM!
>>741286606Not really any different than professional wrestlers. Batista was basically real life Marcus Fenix. That kind of physique usually requires steroid use but it definitely can be achieved
>>741237086I think both 4 and 5 are worth a playthrough. They play incredibly similar to the old Gears games (unlike what 434 did to Halo).I'd say the biggest problem with both 4 and 5 is the lack of enemy variety, particularly in horde mode. 3 has the most enemy variety and I wish 4, but especially 5 since it's another sequel, had a lot more variety. It would have given the games way more longevity, especially horde mode which was fun with the building stuff.
>>741282805Just ignore them. Having one woman who doesn't look like a supermodel in a game is apparently enough to endlessly whine about.E-Day looks cool. I'm really hyped about 12 player horde mode. I hope it has building mechanics like 5 and enemy variety like 3 (not just 12 dudes running around shooting one big bullet sponge in the middle)
>>741288091Everyone keeps forgetting gears tactics which is also fun to play and adds interesting lore to the story.

>>741260828the killing off a carmine for each game meme was so fucking stupid

Is 360 emulation a thing seeing how we'll never get Gears 2 and 3 on pc.
>>741293260You can buy an Xbox One for practically nothing these days if you don't mind dipping into the console market. Backwards compatibility has been one of the few bright spots of sticking with the Xbox brand over the years
>>741293260360 emulation is super easy. You just download a program and run it. No settings to really worry about. >>741288669I liked tactics, but the inventory management shit was atrocious. And it really needed a background mechanic similar to XCOM base building to make the missions feel more impactful
>>741291886they also said that if carmine was saved then someone else would have diedwhich is also fucking stupid, it's literally saying "buy our merch or else we'll kill your favorite character"
>>741293260Yeah Xenia is a thing, it's not as miserable as Xbox emulation. Though it is the basis for the odd half-assed 'decomp' which is really just a purpose-made emulator.
Imagine being a groundwalker
Boom!

>>741292916I thought the flashback scene in Gears 3 with Cole's backstory was sad. I know a lot of people thought it was cheesy but I felt bad
>>741297492Based. When are we getting a ragtag group of Locusts fighting their way through the events of Gears 1?

>>741299537to many women
>>741299875No worries ;)
>>741299823Xenia Canary crashes a lot for almost every game for me. I need to bother with a different version
>>741299537It looks and sounds as Gears of War should, but something about the voice acting and cutscene direction is off. The delivery on some of the lines, along with the shot calls and shot timing, are deflating the sense of tension they're trying to communicate.Animators doing some nice work on the locust movements, tho.

>>741261209>you too will fuel the worms when you die.Actually a poetic sentence
>>741263529Advancing the story after the trilogy was a huge mistake, I can't think of a single good thing that came from it. I liked the rise of raam comic and I'm glad they're doing an e-day game instead of another sequel.
>>741282256So far we've been seen 3 women, all looking like linebackers, and today we saw the pilot of the raven, predictably a woman.Just western dev things.
>>741299949Cole needs to at least be a multiplayer pick. He's got too many fun lines to not have him.
>>741303874Are you expecting Gears of War soldiers to look small?
>>741298053>Ever feel like you're already dead, but nobody told you?He also writes letters to his dead mom
>>741304008Yea.Look at Anya and Sam, that's what I expect to look like. Hell even Bernie's fine.
>>741230642Gears was always retarded, the only time Gears had a sense of atmosphere was like 2 levels in the first game.
>/v/ loves 7th gen dudebro shooters now What the FUCK happened?

>>741304295>nowAlways has

>>741303872Don't forget the retcons in 5 to the Queen where they say she was groomed by her doctor while having rustlung. What were they thinking?
>>741303708no, wall bouncing is kill (probably)
>>741304295xbox 360 dudebro games are peak gaming. I dropped out to play them all day. I miss being a 17 y/o neet playing ps3 and 360 all day
>>741304295It's easier to praise these games when Quake and Unreal are thoroughly dead.
>>741304295Older users left, new users that grew up with Halo and Gears joined.
>>741304295Gears is still the only fun cover shooter in existence. The only people who ever hated gears were>Console warrior faggots who hated the fact that fun games existed on the Xbox>Unironic incels who felt sexually threatened by bigass powerlifter males on screenGears is simply fun. When Gears sticks to the formula, Gears just works. Even now the only way fags on /v/ can pretend to hate on E-Day is with limpdicked culture war shit because E-Day is returning to the formula and the formula holds up.
>>741304030>He also writes letters to his dead momNow THAT was something that would have been great to somehow see in the game as a collectible or in a cutscene.
>>741305242Why do you want to see/read something so incredibly sad
>>741305354Catharsis. The book made it sad as fuck by humanizing and showing a vulnerable side to Cole. Thrashball flashback felt more like a midlife crisis than sorrow.
>>741304295the kids who played those games grew up and came here
>>741231049This is a picture of me and my favorite shirt
>>741297965>that one map with the waterway between two balconiesI pictured that map in my mind before I even read this line. Those were some fucking halcyon days, man.
How come they never remade/remaster Gears 3?
>one of Gears of War 2's selling points at E3 was it now had...more than one color!
>>7412310493 was perfect for how they wrapped everything up. They really didn't need to drag Marcus and his old ass out for one more ride now that most of the old guard are dead.
>>741310039I agree, Kombat Kids are always a huge mistake.
>>741231074Gears takes place on the planet Sera that has 26 hour days or some shit. The planet itself has a tunnel system that the locust themselves won't go into. Not to mention ancient sites that predate both parties by orders of magnitude.
>>741298053>the memelord facade momentously drops>falls into a psychotic episode of using a screaming ticker and punting into the enemy like a football Lowkey ludo storytelling in the making

>>741277691He transitioned and is starring in the new God of War.
>>741304295We never hated gears, we hated the lesson that every other developer took from the games success.
>>741231074You are retarded then.>>741237086No it got retarded after 3. Gears is a shitty terrible awful miserable hell world where the government was so desperate they were forcing women into breeding camps. They only started using female gears because they were that close to extinction, there was literally no one left.Then like 15 years later there are dyed hairs running around being the most specialist princesses. Just stupid.
>>741277691Soft body physics are HERE
>>741304295Gears is a good cover shooter. Making every game into a cover shooter (even fuckin Harry Potter) was not good.
>>741231049my niggahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXIjDzlGc5I
Where the FUCK is the PC port of the rest of the trilogy?
>>741284609How were Adam and Myrrah in communication?
>>741316570Marcus Fenix Collection soon trust the plan
>>741231049I think it's one of the best video game sequels since it improved on so much from the previous game. The campaign is fantastic and horde mode is fun addition but 3 improved on it later on.
>>741316634Adam was taking ventures into the Hollow Earth to collect samples of lifeforms down there. Marcus' mom also perished down there. He met Myrrah who had been scouting out events on the surface. All of this happened during the Pendulum Wars of which Adam himself is a veteran of.
>>741316570Just emulate it
>>741316957Different anon. I think 2 and judgement run ok on Xenia.I remember getting softlocked in 3 on campaign pretty early on
>>741230280>The Locust are a literal underhive of weird cross-bred genetic humans.>Their queen hates humanity, despite herself being human.>Didn't wait for Adam to finish making the cure for the immolsion and lambent crisis in the hive.>Locusts are losing a literal war in their own homeland.>Fuck it, invade the surface all at once, shock and awe, destroy humanity, we'll figure out the lambent problem after.>Humanity is completely shocked, over a quarter of all of humanity dies over the course of like a week.>Shit gets so bad that the C.O.G decide to sampson doctrine the surface of Serra, effectively curbing any hope of the Locusts making any effective holds on the surface, while damning most people to death, or forcing extradition to the remaining urban centers.>14 years of nothing but endless death on both sides, the locust are doubly fucked now, fighting a war on two fronts, both they are losing slowly.>Now both sides are fucked up and it's nothing but a war of attrition till Delta and their support elements blow the fucking hive up, not once, but twice.What was she thinking? Unironically what the fuck was she thinking?
>>741318737Woman moment
>>741318737Women am I rite fellas?
>>741318737She knew humanity wouldn't side with the locusts to defeat the lambent. She didn't want to wait for Adam to develop a permanent solution to the lambent. Prescott and a couple other elites knew E-Day was coming just not when. The entirety of Gears can be summed up with the government fucking everyone over and pretending like they did everything in humanities best interest. Because the COG created the Locusts. All they had to do was euthanize every test subject, no Locusts to infect for the lambent.
>>741245296I think its implied that whatever happened was worse than it seems. He had a mind raped stare and the wounds on his back were from something monstrous I always liked this scene. The war for humanity's survival is so dire they just throw him a gun to keep fighting.
>>741318737Woman moment.
>>741318989>The C.O.G would rather damn all of the humans that would die on the inevitable D-Day, would rather that outcome than try to help the Locusts to stop the Lambent.>The Queen sent her subjects to die in a war they had hardly a hope of winning, and even if they did win, how the fuck do they deal with the lambent?The U.I.R were the good guys all along, huh?
Whoa, the COGs are like....gears....in a war....
>>741320249no... how the fuck is that possible??
>>741319932>The U.I.R were the good guys all along, huh?you have no idea how badly I want a game with these fucks as the protag>Paduk and the boys stomping COG heads inPLEASE TC PLEASEYOU CAN EVEN ADD A BUTCH TRANNY IF YOU WANT
>>741230642I miss the alternate timeline too, it was way cooler
Favorite gun?
>>741318989>Because the COG created the Locusts.Honestly think the reveal that they were lab made humans all along was a major story blunder. Ignoring the pure logistical nightmare that the New Hope facility to Emergence Day timetable represents for the Locust's expansion, it's just completely unnecessary as a reveal.There are already terrifying creatures living underground. They already have a perfect reason for invading the surface: living underground sucks and they want to live on the surface. They blame those nasty ass groundwalkers for hogging the sun and forcing them to exist in the tunnels, which is why they're so ridiculously cruel and full of hatred towards every human they come across. What does the Locust being labrats even accomplish?
I still remember how they tried to gaslight everyone as much as I hate to use that word, when gears 2 came out it was probably the most heinous online experience for a few months, unplayable in many situations.
>>741320890For me it's retro lancer and sawed off for how much it made compfags cry
>>741321371I prefer the less headcanon sounding explanation that the Sires in the New Hope facility were nothing but spurious lab samples grown by combining Human DNA with heart leech DNA after the heart leech had previously killed a Locustis it more elaborate? yes. does it better explain bad lore? also yes.

>>741304008The girls in 3 look like Final Fantasy girls, so yeah.

>>741324089Paduk was too based for those COGnog fucking shits>there will never be a game based on the Pendulum Wars
>>741237259Ruined but he goblina. If they couldn’t give use Cole and Baird the bait make it a fucking 2 player Marcus and Dom solo story. We don’t even get split screen on PC so it’s not like anyone’s going to play this game with their bros anyway.
They made Dom too prettywhy he look like a fuckboy
>>741324576Yeah but 4 player campaight looks fun, I'm probably going to play it with my mexican friends since they're 100% buying this
No one believes me but judgement had the best PvE experience in the series. Each room feels unique and interacting thought out, each rooms has 3 possible scenarios that switch up every time you die, and the game absolutely spams enemies at you so you each fight feels intense. Every other fears is a snooze feat compared to judgement.
>>741324576>IMG>Barely typing coherent EnglishWhy are culture war retards like this?
>>741231049Two has 2 flaws. The base movement is too slow and the weapon balance is awful. The lancer and hammy are certified garbage, meanwhile you can gib people with the gnasher a mile away, and the smoke bomb sends everyone flying.
>>741324813Alot of Gears of War fans are mexicans me included but I was born in the US
>>741243194It was a good reason. Sequel is already clogged with too many legacy characters. Marcus and Baird are cool but poor Cole has jackshit to do. They couldn’t even be bothered giving him a new outfit in 4. Plus it makes the strained relationship between JD and Marcus feel more natural since Marcus is the exact kind of guy you expect to be very closed off. Personally I’d have not brought back Clay and Hoffman in 5 either.
>>741324936>Alot of Gears of War fans are mexicansIs there anything in particular that stands out as to why spics love the series so much? It's like BRs with RE6 or Ruskis with Kenshi just seems so comical from the outset.
>>741324813Sorry sir I’m Indian. Please buying gears e day.
>>741325178My guess would be the dub being good and the macho man fantasy
>>741325178>big muscled men with guns>big muscled monsters>a few babes here and there that can hold their own>one against all vibehonestly lucha libre and comics are probably why
>>741325031The fact that they're scraping the barrel by going back to E-Day proves that killing off Dom was one of the more halfbrained things they did. On par with pancaking Lizzie Carmine or making Baird bald.
>>741325178Well I'll start with the obvious one, the first line of dialogue and one of the main characters is a mexican. Marcus wears a do-rag, sure hes white but those are coded towards more ethnic groups e.g. blacks, mexicans. Secondly mexicans just love the action and power fantasy, which is pretty much universal. I'd argue the more grounded setting draws them in compared to Halo. As someone who played both Halo always had more white dudes online, many of whom sounded suburban.
>this hot Latina slut was hated and shat on for not looking gears of war enough, with many claiming she looked like she worked for hot topic>meanwhile Marcus wears a durag in every game, he and Baird have soul patches, Cole and Dom have earrings, Baird has frost tips, and Tai and Dizzy look like they work for a tattoo shop
>>741320890Tossup between Retro Lancer or Hammerburst. >>741324760I liked the challenges which changed Baird's narrative.
>>741320890Retro Lancer my beloved
>>741304295This is like acting like Halo was always hated and then being surprised when people pop up and say they liked the Bungie era.
>>741237259Ugly women
One thing that always baffled me was why Kait had to replace JD in 5. It’s like the niggers never heard of having co-protagonists before. They could have just let us choose who we want to play. It was clear DEI agenda and unfortunately there are hints of it in e-day too.
>>741325895Laura Bailey is probably rivaling Tara Strong with how demanding and obnoxious she is to work with. Serana is the focus of the DLC of Skyrim. Abby gets away with killing one of the main characters and her punishment isn't death, but being strung up and left to die until she loses her musculature, then Ellie spares her. Kait Diaz is suddenly the key to everything, the granddaughter of Myrrah.
>>741320890Scorcher, and I don’t understand why it stopped appearing past 3. It should be a staple of the series. The game industry has a hate boner for flamethrowers.
It sounds like you're just feeding COGs to a giant worm.
>>7413253682000s dudebro is the aesthetic of the games
>>741319932UIR did nothing wrong
>>741326212Then where are all the complaints about the two new characters in e day, who actually look like they don’t belong in the setting?
>>741326840I've been complaining about the female gears in E-Day. Not because they're ugly, I expected that. The game really should've marketed itself as a return to form. Marcus, Tai, Dom maybe a likeable new guy who dies at the end trying to fucking survive the first week of E-Day. Gears 1 was like that, a mixture of action tropes and Pitch Black inspired horror. Only now we get to see Ground Zero of this event and not the post apocalyptic remains. I've said it before but E-Day could even show new creatures that either died from the hammer strikes or were intended shock troopers by the locusts.
>>741325178The 360 in general was Mexican coded probably because it was the cheapest thing for online play in 2005 till 2013
>>741326016They added it back in 5’s multiplayer in one of the later updates. By then most people bailed on the game.
>>741261617Campaign wise, 5 is much worse than Judgment.
>>741261617Judgement was good in spite of its flaws. 4 and 5 are bastardizations.
>>741263857>RAAM was an atheist and the tallest locust aroundThe God Emperor of Grubkind
>>741288571>>741282805You faggots don't belong here. Go away.
>>741320890Breechshot
>>741261530Judgement is arcadey kino and really fun, but the multiplayer is non existent.4 and 5 have awful writing but they’re incredibly smooth and fun to play. However 5 suffers from one major design flaw that makes it unequivocally the worst in the series, and that’s the barren open world of acts 2 and 3. The first and last chapters that play like classic gears but with the smoothness of 5 are really good, but having to spend 3 minutes driving a sled between objectives in the middle chapters just ruins the game.If you can get them for cheap I’d play through them all at least once.
>>741282805>>741247425>>741328743>we can't have supermodels in gears of war!>lets make them tranny lesbians instead!there is a third position.tfw female anatomy always wins when pronounced enough
>>741328816Hive busters is also fun
>>741329049Yeah that was cool too, but it just made me yearn for a gears 5 campaign without the open world even more
>>741320890Longshot. I was pretty damn good with it, and I had a ranked team back in the day and was our designated sniper (We were all very high on the leaderboards in Gears 2 and Gears 3, like top 100 players). I was so good with it that simply getting me the longshot was a win condition on most of the maps. Giving me host was the most disgusting thing ever. People would just leave immediately because they couldn't play the game, and they also assumed I was cheating. One of my favorite snipers in any game. Loved how it had only one shot and you needed to headshot with it, that's how vidya snipers should be. Hit detection was a bitch though, especially with lag.
>>741293260Wasn't there a GoW3 multiplayer thing that got leaked a while back? Hows that going?

>>741230280You may not like it but this is what peak video game writing looks like
>>741325178>one of the main characters is latino and he's represented pretty well (he's cool and not a shitty caricature made by SJW's) >the white characters are respectful of the ethnic characters and just treat them like regular people and bros and family >"macho" designs>hot women >gorey (latinos love this shit) >sweaty multiplayer>Xbox 360 was the cooler and cheaper console, among Wii/PS3/Xbox 360blacks loved it too. I'm white and while there were a lot of white nerds who loved gears, a lot of the friends I made in Gears were black or Mexican. they got me into rap lol
>>741264086>And people overwhelmingly decided to save JD over Del.You just know those fuckers up at the coalition were grinding enamel down the nerve at the thought of being denied another victim for their bullshit rituals. Marcus has suffered more than enough.

>>741292916Cole Train my beloved
>>741327014>I've said it before but E-Day could even show new creatures that either died from the hammer strikes or were intended shock troopers by the locusts.Forgot about that. The Locust deathmarching their best stuff out as the vanguard only to get smoked by the constant hammer strikes will make for a good justification. Entire cities getting ashed while the gutless cowards in the upper echelons fly out to their pirate seasteads. The UIR remained generally intact by comparison since most of their surviving forces were armed flotillas and private fleets.
>>741323169Berserkers are incredibly rare, and if you noticed, they're so pissed off all the time that trying to fuck one would be a monumental task in and of itself.
>>741328778I’m glad they’re bring this back. Honestly Judgement had some cool weapons and enemy types I think it’s a decently fun game overall
>>741320424For me it's the cosmonaut for their failed space program.
>>741230280>Marcus: WE'VE HIJACKED A BRUMAK>Anya: ... you've what?!>Marcus: DOM AND I ARE RIDING A BRUMAK NAKED THROUGH JACINTO SO WE CAN SHOOT THE LOCUST AND-... AH FUCK IT JUST WAIT FOR US>Anya: uh.... okay... roger that. https://youtu.be/0KiEILpcq80
>>741330387Which is why they chain them down and let locust soldiers rape them freely. Berserkers have a cock inside 24/7 unless they need them to fight.
Playing 2 on my Xbox 360 when I was 12 were some of the happiest moments of the my life and I desperately want E-Day to be good so I can relive that joy.
>>741329432>gears 1 off host lag>headshotting the hostFuck better than crack
>>741330872Right, but there still aren't that many of them, and there's no indication that berserkers shit out dozens of kids a day which is what they'd need to do, to make a world conquering army in 50 years.
>>741231049Gears 2’s campaign is my favorite but 3 is obviously the best game because MP, horde, beast and all the things you can unlock
>>741331059>but there still aren't that many of themCitation needed
>>741330872beserkers sound an awful lot like OP's mom
>>741230280I laughed so hard when this happened this was the goofiest dumbest shit I had ever heard in a game but looking back it was so memorable it was actually kusokino
>>741331059I seem to remember some book mentioning that berserkers give birth in a few weeks and they shit out hundreds of locusts at a time, BUT they didn't fucking explain if they're born in tiny eggs just like fish do, because it doesn't make sense otherwise. The berserker might be gigantic, but there's no way it's fitting that many babies in her stomach.

>>741331364Again, it doesn't make sense on purpose. You weren't even meant to think about how the locust conquered sera in such a short span, or how they reproduced so fast despite only having like a hundred females for every million males.

>>741261617>>741261719I wouldn't even call it a DLC, it's not like a typical gears campaign at all, you have to fucking activate the big shootouts by walking to the markers and holding A. It's like a scrapped mode for multiplayer or something. And the "story" is shit, COG was court martialing people for both following orders and NOT following them, hell, the guy who wants baird dead is trying to cover his ass because he committed a warcrime and wants a scapegoat.
>>741331679based dads

>>741331423>You weren't even meant to think about how the locust conquered sera in such a short span, or how they reproduced so fast despite only having like a hundred females for every million males.The general cope they run with is that most of the societies involved in the previous war which lasted 80 years were barely above sustainable levels across the board. The economy was bottoming out, the constant skirmishing over the imulsion refineries and fields were WWI levels of attrition based warfare. And there are still sections of the planet that are barely above feudalistic age in terms of their societal makeup and distribution. Leaving them as prime targets for conquest and eventual genocide. Tai is one of those people. Consider that the COG were effectively farming out their female populace towards industrial level IV treatments based on food rationing and accommodation. The ones that you see in the games like Anya, Sam and Bernie are barren so cunts like Prescott would rather have them on the front. The rest were little more than cannon fodder.The real motivating factor for the war coming to a close was the COG essentially stealing the Hammer of Dawn tech off the UIR and threatening to glass their cities from orbit. It's barely been six weeks when E-Day kicks off so going from fighting on relatively static fronts that calcified over 80 years to an enemy that pops out of the ground with land spiders bigger than a tank is enough to send them into a death spiral.
>>741325368A veritable Burger King Kids Club of diversity.
>>741325178A few reasons.>One of the first major games with a well done Spanish dub.>Had 'Mexican' representation in the form of Dom as a major cast member.>Featured the 'macho' aspects with blood and gore to draw in players.>>741325368I just found the writing of the new games horrible. TC wrote themselves into a corner with 4. There were other ways they could have continued the plot but chose the absolute worst one.I play as her sometimes in multiplayer and she is a lot more interesting in Gears 5 but her writing in 4 was awful. "It's about ME!"
>>741304295this is how you tell a election tourist from a real anonback in the day we were laughing at the ps triple for literally, unironically having no games until 2009 or so, you wanted games you either bought a xnog 3shitty or a bing bing wahoo machine, because PC gayming was in the shitter as well
>>741277473Gears of War Tactics Gears of War Funko POP
>>741264086>>741263929The whole choice was just a stupid decision by the devs. I chose Del because I like him more and I think it makes for better story potential in Gears 6. However Del is barely a character. He's not really developed in either game, and even less present in the books.
>>741332436>Gears of War Funko POPA grim period.
>>741332676Tactics wasn't much better. The story is atrocious and completely ruined Prescott as a character.
I've never owned an Xbox.
>>741298053Because it IS funny and cheesy unless you know the context, cole was basically having a panic attack which nearly got him killed.His backstory is hilariously sad as well, they essentially used him as a propaganda piece (which got many young men killed), and when shit went south they started drafting his team mates, but not him because he was more valuable as a trashball player. But he finds out the truth anyway, joins COG, and gets fucked over once he learns they're sending him to a low risk area. But the dude is such a fucking chad that they can't help but notice just how good at killing he is. And it's all because he already went insane, is suicidal, and is using war as an outlet.I wouldn't really call it a well written character, but i wish more black vidya characters had at least this much depth.
What's the most bullshit retcon?And it's U.I.R. actually created Hummer pf Dawn and COGs stole it.
>>741318989>Prescott and a couple other elites knew E-Day was coming just not when.Source?
>>741333062>All Locust being CoG bio weapons.Gears 2 was intentionally left ambiguous with hints towards some Locust being created by the CoG and others being natural creatures. Revealing it just killed a ton of the interesting parts of the world.
>>741333061>And it's all because he already went insane, is suicidal, and is using war as an outlet.I always loved that's how you found him in Gears 1, down to a pistol, surrounded by his dead squad making a last stand like a final play of the game. Like he had no way of knowing Delta was going to show up.
>>741331885>Consider that the COG were effectively farming out their female populace towards industrial level IV treatments based on food rationing and accommodationThis only happened after the hammer strikes due to the human population dipping under 1,000,000 people
>>741333062Lightbomb in 1 did a jack shit
>>741230280Test
>>741333552NTA but IIRC there were breeding camps prior to the hammer strikes (which is where Alex Brand was during the events of e-day). I sitll don't get the obsession with her as a character. Her comic was mediocre, she's just a lame-ass edgy character, and it's not like she's vital to anything that happens. I know she was originally supposed to be in Gears 3 before they replaced her with Sam but that isn't enough reason to add her.
>>741333757what are the results?
>>741333062>proto grubs are no longer an ayy lifeform that came down from the moon in the early days
>introduce her as one of main characters in spin-off >rape and kill her of of screen in bonus Gears of War 3 mission laterbruh
>>741331423>Pendulum Wars were supposed to be this apocalyptic Warhammer-style affair>The only hard casualty numbers we get are for the 3 years between Operation Leveler and the armistice>Total COG casualties: 30,000Never trust scifi writers with numbers. Those are rookie numbers, you gotta pump those numbers up. Those are "6 months in Ukraine" numbers, and that would be only a single (minor) theater of the Pendulum Wars.
>>741334120I mean rape is a solid presumption but they never answered what happened to her period. Could be dead, could be some secret bullshit plot hook that got abandoned, but might as well figure it's not good.
>>741334120It's so strange they drop this, you'd think Gears 4 would have picked up on COG spooks either kidnapping women to drag them back or kill Gears defectors but when Paduk shows up again in 5 I don't even remember if they bring her up or not
>>741334120>>741334289The devs have intentionally edited the wiki to keep her MIA. More than likely they are just keeping her in their back pocket.
>>741334364>The devs have intentionally edited the wiki to keep her MIA. More than likely they are just keeping her in their back pocket.Did they also wipe Paduk's memory of the event too? He saw her getting dragged off by Onyx spooks hence his burning the COGniggers and their antics.
>>7413345454 and 5 are a fucking mess with story, character and lore
>>741334882Gears ended with 3. I will allow the interwar lore that Marcus told the COG to fuck off and lived as a farmer on his estate and that Baird got to dick around with robots for a job like he always wanted. But everything else never happened.
the dirty little secret is that gears 5 outside of the dogshit story mode was actually really good.I spent many hours in horde and multiplayer. and they actually listened to community feedback and fixed a lot of issues after launch.
>>741334985Prologue was good, everything after that wasn't
>>741334985Yes as long as you're not one of those no-life streamers or a pro it's fairly fun. Hopefully e-day weakens the over-use of wall bouncing/wrapping/etc.
>>741330059Sad thing is, Del wasn't even that bad.
>>741332436>Gears of War Funko POPI was gifted this by my brother.
>>741335232Why is he hating you that much?
>>741334985It took until the 4th update but yeah the multiplayer was great. I wish they kept arcade mode in, that was the most fun PVP mode for me. Instead they took it down, promised a rework, and then never discussed it again.
>>741230280whats the preferred way to play these games?
>>741305242There actually is a collectable in Gears 5 where you find one of his letters to his late mom
>>741335324He is full of bs, it was a f2p.

>>741324119Did you know the eye when you examine shit is Cliff's eye?
Is there a big difference between Xbox one S and Series X for backwards compatibility for gears 2 and 3?
Ok but what if it was a giant futa cock instead
>>741335658No, they basically run the same because it's 360 emulated. There might be higher resolution on the X, but not it's not going to matter much considering the original game was 720p.
>>741335719Baird would cum
>>741230280Why didn't they just take cities, and push them somewhere else?
>>741335719>>741335826"Well I can gag him if you like! heh"Baird bros...
The locust being 50 years old isn’t odd. I think the real misstep was making kantus scientifically engineered like the drones and boomers, instead of ancient native inhabitants of the hollow, and whose DNA led to the drones being developed. I swear that was the intended lore initially. That’s why they’re not as human looking.
Do you think people would have received 4 better if:1) del didn’t exist and it was just JD and his gf on an adventure2) they replaced the standard deebees with regular COG soldiers
>>741329432I still remember to this day that one match in Escalation in Gears 1 where both sides had snipers and we were the top part as Locust. I was just looking randomly around thick trees and see the reticle turn red and hover a bit to see if I'm noticing someone moving but the guy was not. Take the leap of faith shot and headshotted him and won the game, as soon as that happened EVERYONE sent a friend request to me even the enemy team because of how ridiculous that shot was.
>>741336014I think you're right butkait is still too bitchy
this series had sovl
this was cool when i was a kid in highschool. the multiplayer was fun too blind firing the gnasher and jumping from wall to wall like a monkey
>>741335573Gears 4 works perfectly on PC
>>741335438Only played until 3. Was it sad?
The mechs in gears 4 were kind of fun
>>741336374>UWP>perfectno
>>741335413>Gears of War 1 (PC). I recommend to play original and not Reloaded.>Gears of War 2 (Xbox 360, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S)>Gears of War 3 (Xbox 360, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S)>Gears of War Judgement (Xbox 360, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S)Ideally stop here, but if you really want to play them all>Gears of War 4 (PC)>Gears 5 (PC)
>>741230280army of two was better
>>741336526Dunno, played for a first time on PC this year. Had no problems.
A full Gears thread huh?
>>741328284If there are no more Judgement lovers it means I am dead. The story is the most replayable due to the star system and the dynamic encounter system. Overrun is better than Horde and extremely unique/fun. The multiplayer on release was the most fun in the series with some very engaging map layouts, the Gears Reaper event that allowed a few members of the community each week to play as a reaper that could fly around the map and deal extra damage with an achievement for killing them. The weapon sandbox was large and by far the most balanced of the games. Literally 7 starting weapons and only 1 had balancing issues. The ability to actually fall from heights made map traversal really smooth and fun with gameplay moments the other games can't match.There were a few catches that made gears dudebro vets not like it.>Changing the control scheme.>Removing DBNO.>Continuity issues. (Honestly no one cares about this but some autistic morons cried about the lancer being present.)>Movie-like plot.>Loot crates/cartoony skins.>Increasing the speed/flow of the game. (Which every game after has done anyways.)>CoG only. This was actually an issue I understand. It's heavily over-hated but did shoot themselves in the foot in some aspects. The game is nowhere near as fun as it was on release because the devs kept changing it to play more like Gears 3. The end result is a weaker experience for the people who enjoyed the game just to appease a crowd of people who never intended to give the game a fair chance to begin with.
>>741336958I did like that multiplayer mode in Judgement where you could build defenses and shit and play as the Locust. That was cool, but my memory of it is fuzzy.
>>741336915it's beautiful. I miss my Gears 1-3 days. a lot of my gears 1/2 friends stopped playing with Gears 3 though, they didn't like it
>>741230280It's a bump limit! They're sinking threads with a BUMP LLLLIMIT!
>>741337053That was overrun.
necksnapping meatshields was one of the funnest things in a game ever made
>>741337293nah tagging them with a grenade and kicking them forward was
Cole > Marcus > Baird > Dom
For me it was the gears 2 smoke grenade
>>741337416Wrong. Baird > Marcus > Cole > Dom
>>741337416>>741337471nah, Cole and Baird as a package thing
>he would just shoot or kick people he downed with Gnasher instead of executing themIshygddt
>>741337416>>741337471why do you hate Dom?
Is this the one with the grenades that are on like chains you swing around?
>>741337720no, you confused it with Wars of Gears
>>741299823>>741297217>>741296431The game works great but some shading and textures are kinda fucked up. Still haven't tried messing with rather limited graphics settings in the emulator though.
