Fun Fact Although this game was not the first to introduce a "Down but not out" mechanic Gears of war 1 was the game that popularized the concept of "Down but not out".
Andy is hilarious man cant wait to see the entire Gears series played with him
Please play gears 2 as well
Play them all
Gears 2 is the goat
“Come again?”
“WE’RE RIDING A BRUMAK!”
He just released a video for it, all gears games!!!
@@thomasoppenlaender774 literally watching it rn but thanks man 😂
It is always a pleasure to watch Andy and Ray play a game together. Hopefully they can play Army of Two sometime, they've really been hyping that up for possible game to play.
we need an army of two remaster or new entry for real
So happy to see Ray and Andy playing together again, such a chill and amusing energy to these videos. Thanks to both of you!
The Wokust Horde is my new favorite bit.
The spam revive is the true Gears Experience, thank you guys for playing!
And a new journey begins.
I'm so glad that you are playing the Gears series as I've been meaning to go back and play through the as well. It'll be fun to watch you and Andy tackle the series
From the YT Frogs
I chipped in 49.99 of that.
@@MachineGunJoepwns Here, have a penny for your thoughts.
Let's Rick! 😂😂😂 You had to be there lmao
Rick
So uh Fun Fact. In the original X360 version of this game, there was only CASUAL, HARDCORE and INSANE difficulty options. "Normal" was added in the second game iirc so Hardcore was the normal of this game.
I'm not sure if there is a difference between original hardcore and Ultimate/2 forwards hardcore tho but I still consider it the real "normal" difficulty lol.
In 2 onwards Hardcore is Hard and Insane is very hard, however in Gears Ultimate Hardcore is the difficulty scale of Insane from the original and Insane is even harder. Gear Ultimate was not properly test for all levels on it's version of Insane the last confirmed tested level on that difficulty was the escape from the Fenix Manor.
@@FIREANDCHAOS I feel like you maybe right. When I played Ultimate Edition, I had such a hard time escaping Fenix Manor (on Hardcore I mean) 🤭
@@HelFrostKara I beat the Original Gears Games on all the difficulties Solo and then re-beat Gears 1 on Insane before ever playing Gears Ultimate I still can't get past the non-tested uncut Burmak fight on Insane, so I looked up why. Microsoft Studios just added the cut levels from the Original Gears when they made Ultimate then added a Harder Difficulty to make it have the same difficulties as 2-Judgment. However to clarify the cut levels were in the PC release of the Original and were tested only then so take that how you will considering the XBOX release of Gears 1 didn't have said levels.
@@FIREANDCHAOS Yeah I recall the first half of ACT 5 was added with the PC version. I remember I had hoped they would add them to the X360 verssion as DLC lol
But what you said also reminded me of a part in Gears 2 I, can't remember if it was different solo, but in COOP if both players were on Insane it was just (or seemed) impossible (Act 1 Chapter 3 I think. Where you're riding the large truck platform thingy).
@@HelFrostKara Co-op in Gears games is both easier and harder than Solo they never tell you this but the difficulty scales up slightly when in co-op which truly makes some parts easy in one and harder in the other, I do however know that level you stated is worse solo than co-op. To clear up about the scale I talked about it makes the game harder when co-op partners are together and easier when separated (when they players are forced to split up) so when the story forces players to split up it is about as hard as it would be solo, just keep in mind if one player dies they both have to restart. Also my information is a little off because I barely remember playing any of the Gears games anymore because the last time I played any of them is 4 years ago and it was Gears 4 then, 5 , then tactics (Personally I didn't like said 3 but that's just me) and beating them on insane was hell and I co-oped 5 because of how hard it got. Back to the topic of said level All I really remember was it took me 5 hours and give or take 40 retries before I beat it and I mostly just let the A.I. do most of the fighting and reviving them when they went down but I don't even remember if that tactic is what worked or not for me to get past it, It very much feels impossible until you clear it then you start feeling nostalgic for how easy it was compared to later levels. (I'm going to stop responding after this because I need to go to sleep, I might respond later however)
Watching this just brought back so many memories. It’s actually ridiculous how much I played this campaign with friends, and playing execution. Canals, Gridlock. Maaaan I may need to play it again.
Genuinely would love to see all the gears games from this duo. Please I beg!!
It's kinda bad that I can say the line before the characters have said them.
Also know the majority of the lore to Gears, cause read the books
Such as Dom had an older brother Carlos, the same age as Marcus. Became friends when Marcus transferred to Carlos' school, later join the military. So they've known each other since Marcus was 8, and the Santiago's consider Marcus their brother/son (I say son cause Dom's parents also cared for Marcus). Dom at 16 knocked up Maria, who was his neighbor as a kid. Dom dropped out of school to join military to provide for his family. Think Marcus is 2 years older than Dom.
Hoffman had Marcus court marshaled because Marcus slugged him in the face when he started to leave his post when his dad contacted him (the cutscene in Gears 3), along with taking the laser designator for the Hammer of Dawn, which resulted in thousands dying. Marcus was to be executed but cause of war hero status from Aspho Fields, he got chucked in The Slab (the worst jail). Hoffman later also pardoned all the criminals there when the locust literally came through the sewer pipes in the jail, but when asked about Marcus said let him rot. (the prisoners are the kind you find in high security prisons). Didn't sit right with Dom so he busted him out.
Marcus' scars are from a dog that attacked him in The Slab.
One slight addition. When it's mentioned that Marcus was at the Battle of Aspho Fields, that was the battle where Dom's brother sacrificed himself. And Marcus recovered a piece of his body, wrapped it up, and took it with him to "bring him home"
@@L3ONSK11 I hope I'm not remembering wrong considering I finished the book Aspho Fields, a couple months ago but Carlos didn't sacrifice himself for like the greater goal of the mission.He fucked up. He blew himself up because he didn't want to get Marcus killed for trying to get him. He didn't want to add Marcus to the list of people he got killed because of his fuck up. Bernie and Marcus lied about how Carlos went out, for Dom.
4 mins in and im dying... the apple/android talk killed me haha
I'm an Apple person and I agree with them 100%.
Ray I absolutely love your vids and I’ve been waiting for someone to play gears of war for me to watch, hell I wanted to watch chilled play it but can’t find anything, so thank you so much for this and have an amazing day❤️❤️
I love the thumbnail! Gale did such a good job.
I believe she spells it “Gael”
Gears of War is my absolute favorite video game series, I really hope you guys do all of them!
I always wanted to know about the gears series and now that you two are playing it I am all about it.
Number 25 an soooo hyped for Andy collaboration
I hope he replays all of them
Grew up playing gears and have played all of them good to see someone experience the series
I love Ray and Andy collabs so much. This that good shit
LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLETS RICK!
Also known as Pete.
I was really into the Gears lore as a kid. Still have a bunch of the books that Karen Traviss wrote
my favourite game series ever!!!! im excited!
*Rae & Andy VS the World* is a blast!!
I loved the RE5 playthrough and this one is just as exiting
love you two boys palying together
Potential Returnal co-op with Andy meantioned.
God damn, that guitar chord that plays when you finish a enemy encounter brings me back.
I would watch you both play this whole series, would be incredibly entertaining 😂
15:27 I just like how Ray laughed at the impersonation
The funny thing is that in the original version of this game, they call them Dog Tags during that cutscene where Carmine sits over the pit
Instead of COG Tags
They also used to call Cole 'Gus' during certain cutscenes and in objectives, but changed it for some reason.
Andy talking about Strangers of Paradise made me think about Shen's playthrough of that game. Oh boy, it was a game of all time.
Always fun to watch Ray and the worlds tallest gamer play together
Very excited for this months comp now
Oh yes, this is the duo everyone needs in their life.
I have just learned that Marcus Pheonix is voiced by John DiMaggio. That's fantastic.
Both Bender and Jake the Dog are two of my favorite characters ever, and I love his work.
That Berzerker section went a lot better than I thought it would, even with Andy getting clipped a little.
This is one of my favorite series! I hope yall enjoy the playthrough and hopefully yall can do the first 3 games??
The way I gasped and stopped everything I was doing to see this ❤!!
Happy to see the tallest streamer on Twitch with my favorite streamer on twitch :)
yeah the ultimate edition makes the game actually have more than 3 colors. and fixed a lot of the visibility issues the original game had.
Gears 3 also beast mode where you play as the locust only which they never done again. It was so sick as well
Taking a big trip this week and was hoping for something to entertain me while I travel. Let's Riiiiiiiiiiick!!
1. I’m eating pizza and fries 2. I’ve never played Gears 3. Let’s Rick!
I love these collabs with Andy so much! I'd honestly enjoy seeing you two play through the whole series! Absolutely amazing!
Gears 3 w/ Andy, Chibi and either Matt or Nagzz would be absolutely chaotic
Would love to see a playthrough of them all or at least 2 and 3.
It's so awesome seeing Eric drop in chat, that guy's a legend
Code Red Zero is a thing its just hard to find. I think some stores will let you order a few cases through them
i hope we get this awesome bro team for E-day
Leeeeeeet's Rick!
Can confirm some people just like to watch the game from beginning to end with little to no editing.
Most of my early days watching CZcams was watching a game as a series, eventually, people started editing and only posting the funny bits, and while they were fun I stopped watching quite a few people because I just missed seeing everything, thankfully streaming got big and more'n more people post their VODs, on that note, thanks Ray for doing that, I still watch the Highlight videos, but I'll usually go to watch the VODs those highlights came from, it's fun to see the events leading up to and after the clips.
This is hilariois cause I literally just started playing with my friend the other day.
aw hell yeah Gears of WAR!!!
man i miss these games, last one i played was 5 which i thought was good but i guess not many others felt the same. anyway hopefully we'll get a new game or a remake/ remaster of 2 and 3.
If they end up getting to Gears 3 way down the line and they're looking for people with xboxes to fill out their lineup, we know Matt Bragg has one just saying
ok for gears 3 we need to get chibi an xbox. I've been wanting those two in the same lobby for so long.
1:23:00 this is me. I watch every minute and it’s my downfall. It’s not background noise to me it’s straight up enjoyment all the way through.
Can't believe that Ray got to play with thee Raymond
i am engaging with this content to indicate to youtube its value to me as a consumer
please provide additional opportunities to do so by playing more gears of war with andy
The one thing i remember from watching Gears Lore videos many years ago is that Berserkers are the females.
I think its so cool that Andy is 6'12" and an elite controller player
You can nade the holes to close them... Wtf, i understand why this was way harder for me back then.
So, who would win: Marcus Fenix or Fred Durst in a soul patch off?
Fond memories of Gears gameplay.
I remember being genuinely freaked by that level where you had to stay in the light or be immediately swarmed. Really stoked my childhood phobia of bees and wasps.
*Side note- Just imagine Ray in COG armor, rockin a soul patch and a fitted Oakland Raiders cap on backwards…
Fantasy sub goal anyone?
Please play all the series 🙏 is all good
I miss these games, I wish they'd come to PC
Gotta admit, in Gears 2 mulitplayer I was a hardcore member of the Wocusts
my body is ready
Also the first game to use the "Battle Music" concept. The music would play loud and intensely when enemies were near and stop when you killed them all.
Time to catch up! Let's see how long I can stay awake before a nap is needed. This midnight start times for us British wrestling fans sucks 😅😴
GINOBLIIIIIII will be what I say when I make throws from now on
From the Conversation at 20:40 , One of the earliest/first cover based shooters was Operation Winback, an extremely janky GameCube/PS2 game. Tehsnakerer did a video analysis of it, which I highly recommend!
Speaking of gears, why did ray deleted his gears 5 vods?
i think he said something like he deletes vods that don't get a lot of views, although now it would probably be alot more enjoyable to watch him play it again with his friends.
If they go onto do the original trilogy. When they get to gears 3 they have to get Matt and Nagzz. Still it’s cool that they’re playing through the game, I gotta go through it again at some point.
Yes please all the gears games
Ray you should check out The Warehouse games with their blitzball games. Let's go We Got Ice!!!!
Shoutout to the person that chatted Wokust. I nearly shot my drink out my nose! Hahaha!!!
....the locust are not aliens though?
Gears 2 is my favorite for Campaign
Gears 3 is my favorite for Multiplayer
You should play both army of 2 games if it's a option. Another co-op game idea for the future that I believe aren't to long of games.
1:17:57 rat jam, nah ray your right ray jam……. 😢
Played through Gears Ultimate Edition with my best friend like a month ago for the first time. A series I missed when it first came out, but it's cool seeing Ray copy me and play it with Andy, because that's totally what happened and I'm not delusional or joking at all.
Let's Rick!
Rick.
Lets Rick!!!!
Whenever someone says, "Ew! Android user" I say, "At least I didn't buy a $1000+ phone just to say it's made with titanium"
let's Rick indeed
No online coop for Army of Two? TIME FOR LOCAL COOP! Lmao maybe for the future.
Literally yesterday I looked up to see if Ray had played gears of war ever and was sad to see he had not. Then like two hours later I got the live stream notification. Please please at least play up to gears of war 3, that game would be perfect for the stream. Plus you could play with 3 other people
Play then all!!!
Poor carmine brothers
1:00:00 perfect
One of the achievements for this game is glitched for me. Be careful if you decide to complete. It’s the COG tag collection achievement l.
Gold 😂
Yes play through the buggy Gears of war 2 as well.
(The A.i doesn't like to work half the time in Gears 2, especially on single player,
But I think it'll be funny with Ray and Andy Cortez.)
God, I do remember how glitchy the AI was when I played through Gears 2 back in 2009 😅
No way Andy/Ray's ship name would be Randy over Aay (lmao)
03:52 I feel so vindicated
Let’s Rick!!!
LLLLETS RICK
