    -I would say you should wait until after you play 1, 2, and 3 before watching the trailers for 4 and 5.
    -the games can be a little emotional sometimes but very well worth it. I think you will love these games.

      Very glad that I didn't watch those, then 😂 I had a feeling it would be similar to Mass Effect 4 trailer where it would reveal something super obvious.

      Any info about 4 and 5 would definitely spoil the big moments and conclusions of the trilogy. Start at Gears 1, then do 2 and 3 ​@@MegMage. They can be very difficult so don't let anyone make you feel bad if you want to use a more casual/standard difficultly to work through the story in a timely manner.

      ​@@pricefieldx I think it's useful to classify 1-3 as the first arc as it were, and then the games proceeding it, the second arc.

    Fun Fact: The Gears of War "Mad World" trailer was directed by Joseph Kosinski, who went on to direct Tron: Legacy, Oblivion, Only the Brave, and Top Gun: Maverick.
    Also, the bodies found in the setting for the Gears of War 3 "Ashes to Ashes" trailer was a result of the Hammer of Dawn strikes. Basically, the Hammer of Dawn is what happens if satellites with lasers, the atom bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the Mount Vesuvius eruption had a baby.

    Gears of War has a particular bit of nostalgia for me, it was when the xbox 360 first came out and I hadn't really gotten into gaming yet but I found it so fun to play with my brother and later with my friend in gears of war 3 when we were finally allowed to have sleep overs

  • @Alibrand73
    @Alibrand73 Před měsícem +26

    I found gears of war to have one of the more human and sensitive depictions of the effects of war. Yes, it is a shooter and has its typical video game aspects, but the characters are phenomenal and their journey through war and loss is portrayed wonderfully, with sensitivity and thoughtfulness. I do think this is the best game series. I’ve played on the Xbox, and I say that as one who has thoroughly enjoyed Halo as well.

  • @supergirlvideoclips894

    It's pretty wild in a sense that Microsoft had not one but two "last legs lf humanitg V. aliens" franchises and both of them has weirdly compelling worlds built under their dumb 2000s shooter surfaces.
    Gears is the less timeless of the two but there's something charming about it's 2000s grimdark excess.

    The Gears series is very violent and brutal with a heavy focus on its kinetic gameplay. The first game is very gameplay focused over the story, which still had its moments. It was made to help Xbox get off the ground back in the day and rapidly grew to become a massive franchise later on. The second and third games are much more focused on the story while retaining the brutal identity of the first, alongside the iconic marketing.
    Similar to Halo, after the main entries to the series it was passed from the original creators to another studio, and further titles were made. The majority of fans, including myself, still hail the original trilogy as the best of the series, much like many Halo fans for their series.
    BE ADVISED: THE TRAILERS FOR THE NEWER TITLES CONTAIN TONS OF SPOILERS FOR THE EARLIER TITLES. Excellent instincts to not watch them.
    Many gamers grew up playing these games and have many fond memories of them. I argue that they are a MUST PLAY if you own an Xbox. The gameplay defined cover-based shooters ever since, and though it may take time to get used to, feels amazing once you master it.
    I am sure many would be excited to share their experiences of this series with you through a playthrough.

    Gears of War is what many think of when they think dude bro gaming. And to an extent, they're right. It's blowing things up to a great soundtrack with a bunch of jacked men in power tank tops. But it's also probably the staunchest anti war game I've ever played and if you were alive for the Iraq war's early days, the messages will ring and feel similarly horrific. It's a real feels game.

    This is one of the classics. CZcams recommended you from similar suggestions, but I can say without a doubt this is a great series. It has it's own unique art style, characters, and story which really raises some questions along the way. I would start right off from the original Gears of War and go from there. The story through the series kind of expects you to have started from the beginning to understand where it's at; though I'm not sure about five and onward. Every now and then I go back to play just to experience this era of gaming, along with Halo and some others. I would say this was some of the foundation laid for the early xbox days.
