Hello other gamers in their 30's. Gears was a hell of a trilogy for our teenage years huh? 😭
i turn 18 this year and gears was my childhood lmao great times
This comment hits mane! 🤣 holy shit
Yes sir I’m 25 now but boy it was a fucking ride and I’m excited to see 6 and what’s the new direction. Not really a fan of the protagonist from 4 and 5 but alas I have to play as them. I prefer the OG characters.
Gears 1 and 2 took over my life when I was a teen. I'm 32 now 😢
early 30s here, gears 2 online is a highlight of my teenage years
Gears 1 - 3 had my older brother and I in a stranglehold in our teen years. This game series had a huge impact in our lives.
I bet the one that played Dom got crushed in 3, cause i was always player 2 and i know i was
All those dom moments.. even watching it now.. heartbreaking
Man I loved this game
Don’t call that a life lil bro, you wasted time, you should have been buying a house
@@Ethanrocks-mv2olbe quiet
Harry... My God mate. This is absolutely amazing. Be proud of how you have written, produced and created this.
It's actually incredible.
You legend. Much love.
Thanks!
He legend but in seriousness I totally agree I found my new thing to listen to at work already listened to the story of Metro so great work and great content
Glazing
I've played all of the games.
And I believe that this is a perfect telling of all of the lore
I feel so bad for Dom man, gears 2 is my favourite of the whole series, the emotions dawg
Same
Yesssss
His sacrifice saved Sera though, man. Always remember that; Marcus couldn’t have done it without Dom, and in the end, it was even Dom’s knife that killed Queen Myrrah and officially ended the locust war
It’s a game… The characters in the game aren’t actually real…
Lol emotions are for women/little kids
The fact that Marcus Fenix is also played by the guy who voices Bender/Jake the dog
John DiMaggio. Dude’s iconic.👏🏾
@@TheMandaloreFettone of the greatest voice actors of all time
The voices are so different I forget sometimes LMAO
Not true. Bender is voiced by Norm McDonald
@@LordOfThePancakes What you on friend? Your confidence displayed when voicing such an incorrect statement is astounding
Fresh lump in the throat when Dom finds Maria, I was in bits when I played that originally. What an amazing video Harry, thank you!
First time a piece of media made me cry was that cut scene
That moment was crazy.... I couldn't belive it.
Killed me. After that shit I was never the same
Idk man my friend ruined that scene an made me laugh too hard
@@manwhorechata5713 ahh the duality of man
Jesus Christ this is long, thank you for all your hard work Harry!
A 4 hours of video is small compared
compared to playing the whole franchise.
@@mrdude88 yeah, lots shooting and moving between the story points. They really pad the experience.
WHO WANTS TOAST 🍞?!
Thats what she..
@@mrdude88Have you played the games?
Its amazing how a shooter franchise like Gears can have such emotional moments
Come for the testosterone, stay for the feels
Came for war, stayed for brotherhood
Came for the lancer, stayed until the end for Maria
I definitely believe they should make a prequel game about the pendulum war
Gears: Pendulum Wars is definitely going to be a thing one day.
gears 4 was like 60% robots so id wager its possible@@dantauche7917
Probably be a tactics gsme
We all do but it be just another cod game in gears of War art with third point of view.... if they don't add 1 shot weapons. Then it be great it help slow down the combat just hiding in cover to fight but sadly I know combat fight won't be the main focus
As a short addon, it would be fine, it was nice in Gears 4 when you got a little snippit but gears is about fighting horrible beasties, I'd rather they kept away from generic bro dudes.
Holy Crap.. 4 hours of amazing story.. you have outdone yourself harry
Four and a half hours?! Talk about no stone unturned! Seriously, as a Gears fan, I've been waiting for a long lore video like this. Thanks, Harry!
1:37:13 still one of the most saddest scene in gaming history to me. I remember how sad and shocked I was. I felt for Dom, the voice acting was absolutely amazing.
Incredible work Harry!
Me, with 20 minutes to get ready and leave for a party in an hour. 😊
*4 and a half hour GOW lore video drops*
"Yeah. I've got time."
As someone who has only played the games and doesn't have the attention span for the books, this is a gift. I always wanted to know what happened before Gears 3, and about the Pendulum Wars. Thank you!
The thing with Dom, is that Gears was in the peak ofshare screen coop. From CoD to Halo, everyone were playing with buddies.
So many of us started playing Dom instead of Marcus as a main character, since everytime we would play we would play him.
When we found Maria and Dom plead Marcus to help him, it hit hard. We knew the only reason he was still standing was because of Marcus....but his sacrifice...it was like loosing a brother, loosing the main character for many players.
Gears moving without him, left a void.
And they kinda tried the same thing with JD and Dale. I think it was too soon. By the time we get into Dale as a character they off it.
I see a lot of comments in here saying that gears 4 and 5 “fell off” or are just straight up not good games. They’re different, not bad games. I was 6 or 7 when I played gears 1 and I’ve been a fan of the entire series ever since. 4 and 5 included.
Tbh the only “bad” one is 5, and that’s because the story is quite frankly nonsense and the choice is extremely stupid and manipulative, and the skiff really just sucks
Judgment is fine, definitely one of the weaker ones though
My issue with 5s story pertains to it just being a reset, Marcus deserves some damn rest for once, and the Locust just straight up being back now kind of ruins the sacrifices made during the original trilogy.
I also REALLY HATE the choice. The game has you spend the majority of your time with Del, building him up, so you like him and don’t want anything bad to happen to him. Except the other option is Marcus Fenix’s son, a character who is barely present in this game but was the PC in 4, the son of the icon of the series who is a man who has lost so much in his life (even if you didn’t read any novels or comics, you know he lost his father twice and Dom just by playing the games).
So the choice is either dude you spent the whole game with and you like being around, or the generic protagonist character who you only care about because of his relationship to THE main character of the series. It’s cheap, and we all know it’s Del that’s canonically going to die, so I don’t get why they gave you a choice.
Finally some attention on the amazing GoW universe! Fun fact about Sera(not mentioned in video): Sera originally was only has 1 mega continent surrounded by a massive ocean with spotted islands around it. Later changing to a world map more similar to earth. It's theorized that Sera is larger than earth by a significant degree.
That’s probably why Serans are massive
No wonder this took awhile to make, 4 hours wow! Excited to give this a watch over the weekend.
Perhaps Halo next...? ❤
Good luck with Halo. Theres like 30 books
@@stegoshark5116at least the first few books are pretty damn good and go pretty in detail
Damn, Harry. You’re a beast for putting this whole thing together. Get some rest, friend. I bet you’re feeling pretty burned after working on that for so long
This has been one of the most detailed GoW lore reading I’ve heard. Honestly even after all of this time to learn the prequel to all of it was a surprise to me. This has made my day, and you deserve all the recognition you get for this masterpiece. Thanks for letting me relive an amazing part of my childhood
The commitment is insane. The video is so well edited and the script you wrote is so listenable. Truly one of the best video essays I've watched as of late. Additionally, I've played the original Gears of War on Xbox 360 when I was like 12, and I never understood the story because my English was practically non existent at the time. Now I'm just sitting here high enjoying your narration of the story :D
Good job mate!
I’ve never had the chance growing up to play Gears of War, especially during its hay-day so hearing a full recap of the story is awesome.
Thanks Harry
dude i’m so sorry for you. i became sentient at the end of gears 2 and start of gears 3. some of the best games of my life
@@kennethkennethson4991 Appreciate it, dude. There's so much lore that I'm going to have to rewatch this 2/3 times to understand it completely
This is exactly. Literally perfect for what I want out of Lore Video. A mix of you talking about the context with scenes from the game. Well done
This has to be the best explained video of Gears of War. I learned so much from this 4 hour video and make me want to play this franchise so badly. Thanks Gaming Harry for this video.
I remember playing gears 1-3 with my brother, we either played co-op or took turns getting killed and it brought a few good memories; shocked when the carmines kept getting killed (I thought they just kept making more to just die), shocked when kim died, almost depressed when dom died, wondering what they did to make ty off himself (i didnt know at the time because we didnt have any comics). When gears 4-5 came out we didnt play co-op and he didnt have as much time for gaming so I finished it for him, letting him know when the cut scenes came so it would be paused till he got caught up, it was a really happy-sad time getting all these memories, thank you for getting into the lore of a game I know helped strengthen my bond with my brother.
Dom’s voice actor was incredible for the Maria scene. One of the most emotional and heartbreaking pieces of fiction I’ve ever experienced
"This isn't about you, this is about me!"
Never played 4 and 5, but now I understand why these two games are so reviled if the players have to deal with this type of character being one of the protagonists.
"reviled" might be a bit much but yeah "the new kids" are quite annoying. "Young MC hype and cool" syndrome while the old cast "are the old boomers"... Kind of in fashion these days, it's going to pass eventualy.
I liked Fahz, they really tried to make him look like an 'asshole' but most of the interactions made me think he was the sensible (cant really think of a better word) one that got treated like shit by the spoilt brat kids so he gives them grief anytime he has a chance
@@nopejhonson958The more “realistic” or “down to earth” one of the group?
Listen, im going to be honest, a few people on youtube dont equal the entire fanbase.
@@aaronlaughter6471 true
Your hardwork is admirable bro, unvbelievable effort Harry! Amazing as always
Harry you're a real one for doing this video. This game series is always gonna be one of my favorites. Keep up the awesome work
This video deserves a million + views and I hope the algorithm pushes the hell out of it.
Hopefully people fall asleep to it so they watch it all the way through, that's like the best thing that can happen for a video of this length I think lol
I can’t imagine the amount of time and effort it took to do the research, let alone make the video. Your videos are awesome man! Your hard work doesn’t go unnoticed!
As a creative I can only imagine the amount of work that went into this and even that would be an understatement…awesome work.
Thank you for giving that one scene the time it deserved. Still hits hard to this day. Scene hits every harder now than it did then
About half way through and the video has been very well done so far. Gears 1 thru 3 bring back so many memories.
They done a good job flushing out the lore for GoW over the yrs.
Keep it up my guy
This franchise was such a huge part of my childhood love the game glad your covering it
This is absolutely incredible! 4+ hours is insane, thank you so much for everything that you do Harry!
This channel is soooo underrated. I have watched and rewatched almost every video and this is just another masterpiece. Thank you Harry for your hard work and dedication to us!!
This is why I love your channel. I have never even played Gears of War and I’m beyond excited to watch this whole video!
You are a savior, I love binge watching these videos when bored at work. It really helps when time is dragging.
Bro, these videos and this channel are honestly so peak. Legitimately legendary. This is gonna be Day 1 of waiting for Prey: Story Explained
Only just now discovered this channel, I played a little bit of I forget which gears when I was a kid at a friends house years ago, but when gears five came out I went ahead and decided to play through everything in order. I greatly enjoyed this series, but I never got super into the lore. This video was amazing for that, thank you soooo much for making this, it was incredible
I know this may be off topic @harry but ive been going through a tough time in life.
This video gave me a huge sense of comfort as i was an avid gears fan and loved playing the games.
Never stop doing what you do harry it helps in more ways then you know.
Gears of War is definetly a "one shitty situation after the other" type of series, like Berserk
"This is Adam Fenix. Can you hear me? What have you done?" I never heard that audio before and its gives me chills for some reason
Amazing video my man. Took me several days to watch it in its entirety. Being in my 30’s and married and having a newborn, being able to go back to relive the series and learn the series’ history was such an awesome experience. Thanks man.
Thank you for your hard work and keep it up. We appreciate you and what you do.
I'm going to unwind after work and watch this great video.
The timing of this is nuts. My wife and I replay this series from time to time and we're on the last act of Gears 5 as I type this!
For those confused with the cut sense for Gears 1, in the original game there was no brumak fight after the Fenix estate and at the end of the game it shows Skorge on his mount instead of the queen in the remaster version
Just absolutely mind boggling how much they went back and added after 1, 2 and 3 to show the build up just to the first game of finding Marcus in prison
Are you kidding, YOU ARE THE SUPPORT SON😢
Props to you man.
I'm not a Gears fan but this video is awesome knowing the scale of this franchise.
Keep it up!
Ive watched this three times and im still learning new things. Good job mate, quality work here.
This was an absolute MASTERPIECE! You did an Amazon narrating and putting this together seamlessly. Hats off to you.
Amazing video, Harry! Can’t believe you gave us 4 and a half hours of top tier gaming content like this! Thanks for making bangers!
Started this at the start of my work day and it’s gotten me 70% of the way through. Thank you for putting the time and massive effort to get this video done. I’ve been following the game series since release but never got into the side stories from the books. I love your work and I really appreciate your effort. Keep doing you and much love.
How you don't have more subs is beyond me, Lore and order and "so far" is absolueyley amazing.
Harry, incredible job! Been waiting for this and it's even come out like a whole series I'll have to binge watch
Calling it now this vid will do numbers. There's surprisingly very few Gears Series videos that cover everything. Hard work is gonna pay off with this one for sure!
Never knew the backstory of GOW…and ive been playing it since Gears 1. Amazing Lore. What broke me was Dom and Maria. You can tell Maria was happy to see Dom and to hear her struggling to Breathe and everything and then Dom dying in the next installment, Damn
Also ironic to know that Jin made the COG into something Anya wanted to avoid, talk about a punch to her hero’s face
What an amazing video. This is phenomenal work dude.
The amount of work and detail you've gone into is insane!
I don’t normally comment on videos but holy shit dude this is amazing, I always enjoy longer lore videos and this is excellent the amount of time and depth you go into is incredible. The page snippets of what’s being explained is chef kiss
Oh GOD YES!!!!
You just sweetened up the start of my weekend! Love your stuff
Wow, Harry you've outdone yourself again ❤ love the way you style your videos, don't forget to congratulate yourself by taking a break if you need to, 4+hrs of content is a big project ❤
I'm watching this video in pieces, but so far it's great! Glad I found your channel. Keep up the great work!
Enjoyed this!! I've never played Gears of War and I'm really grateful that I get to experience the storyline through this video. Everything was well crafted, chefs kissed. Awesome job Harry!
Damn, love this franchise! Just like you, I've played the earlier games a lot before but have never really understood the things happening in the game 😂
LET'S GO! Great work as always!
Omg you know how long I’ve been waiting for someone to make this video and it just happens to be one of the best CZcams channels out there honestly thank you 😊
This is a project born out of love, love for stories, love for secrets and love for sharing, thank you for all your hard work, amazing work as usual, will rewatch many times.
Holy hell 4 and a half hours? That's wild dude, appreciate the hard work.
4.5hrs! Is this a 2nd Christmas?
Love playing Gears and thank you for the video
dude i just found your channel and you dont understand i have been looking for this type of video for gears for literal years I love you.
A vid so nice, I watched it twice.
Gears lore is fascinating, and this vid is all-encompassing. You nailed it! 🙌🙌
Awesome video as always, keep up the awesome work
Damn, that scene with Dom & Maria brought me to tears.
Amazing video as usual. We appreciate all the work you've put into it. Looking forward to your next entry!
Love this dive man. Thanks for all the lore in one video instead of like 15 parts truly goated
It's almost like he knew I needed this in my life.
4 hours and 30 mins????? Good thing I am off today!!! TODAY IS THE BEST DAY❤❤❤
You’ve done the lords work here my friend! Brilliant content! Can’t express how much people appreciate a video like this!❤
this is just simply god damn phenomenal Harry! Do take a great rest and thank you for such a great work!
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!!!!
Man, the voice acting in these games is fantastic. Top notch work
Now I have a video to watch throughout the month
I can’t believe I watched the whole thing all the way through and I thought I wasn’t going to be able to do it but I did loved every single bit of it thank you. ❤
Thank you so much for this! I grew up on this series with my best friend and co oped it to the end. Keep up the amazing work
I almost scrolled past when I saw how long the video was but then I saw it as made by Gaming Harry, this going to be an amazing 4 hours
Well, I was gonna go to sleep, but...
Edit: The Maria scene gets me crying every damn time, I remember annihilating the game after that scene, for Dom. Feels like that in games seem to be so far and few between these days, it sucks.
It’s Dom’s helplessness that gets me. The way he asks Marcus what he should do.
I feel I learned a lot more from this video than I have from either other videos or the games/books themselves. Glad I watched this!
Hey GamingHarry, love your work on the Gear franchise, the gameplay videos/cutscenes are high quality along with your accurate description of the lore. Most importantly, thanks for pausing commentary and showing full cutscenes of Dom meeting Maria (Gears 2) and visiting her grave (Gears 3). Those parts make Gears a human story, about loss (sadness), (resilience) carry on while they are no longer around, fragile nature of life (life is unpredictable and short) & life is precious (good times don’t last forever)
The entire Barbie and her sister story…so far
Nah barbie horse adventures entire story
Nah My Little Pony
@@dantauche7917my cousin made me sit through their explanation of it, I don’t need to sit through that again
The toy soldiers esthetic are barbie like but again that's the charm, and to be honest the barbie movie is entertaining.
@@c.u.e6972Who are you talking to? Everyone knows that.
I love your Entire Story and Lore And Order videos, Harry.
Maybe Army of Two could be next?
That's a really good suggestion, shame the series ended. Loved those games back in the day
You have idea how much I appreciate this video, man. Great work and thanks for this
I like to put stuff like this on to not be lonely, but the part with Dom finding Maria really caught my attention, and pulled me in. I'll definitely listen to this a few mores time so that I can better absorb it. Very good job, Harry.
4 hours? ohh nah harry you a goat for this , take this crown👑 and rest before the next quest
"It's faz right?" *Clears throat to respond* "Yeah, yessir" "Shut the fuck up faz" "Yep sir"
Awesome most concise complete video on fears I've seen in a long time great stuff Harry. 🙂👍
Thank you for all the work that went into compiling all this info, the clips, and written excerpts! Amazing video movie that was greatly narrated
Absolutely massive! Thanks for all the effort Harry.
Hey Harry outstanding video as usual bruv, when you have time please do an “entire story” on Fallout, I’m sure people would be interested in that yeah ?
PERFECT TIMING I was looking for an excuse to finally finish Gears Tactics, this will be a great video to watch while doing that.
I needed something to watch for my part shift at work and this is the perfect amount of time exactly what I need thank you
