An Epic Critique of Gears of War 3

- I was really hoping on that Xbox showcase for at least some Gears news so that at the time of releasing this video, there would be all types of hype around the Gears games again and I would have the chance to replay this one again with updated graphics or something along that line, but once again we Gears fans were left with nothing after all the Starfield hype.
But after lightmass bombing the locust stronghold, and sinking the last standing stronghold for humans, or at least the Cog, we arrive to Gears of War 3.
An epic finale to the original trilogy. One of the best conclusions to one of the best trilogies in gaming, well somewhat...
0:00 - Intro
3:41 - Additions and updates
10:04 - Act I
22:28 - Act II
30:21 - Act III
38:50 - Act IV
52:20 - Act V
1:04:38 - Conclusion?
1:08:23 - RAAM's Shadow
1:18:15 - Final Conclusion - Hry
What I find sad about Doms death is that Cole and Baird weren't even there. The OG squad that had been together for years on the most insane missions. And during deltas mission, Baird and cole meet their old squad and eventually finding out from Paduk that Sophia was dead. Then coming back and finding out that Dom was dead.
I didn't make that parallel mostly because I play Judgement particularly Aftermath after 3. So really Baird and Cole were already not in the best mood. Then the news about Dom hits. This drama,tension and grief are solely missing in the Collation games. Another reason their games are far and away inferior.
@@spartanq7781 Yeah, im glad and love that epic made a way to tie into the current story then with aftermath. You could tell there was passion and direction with it, however with the coalition games there doesn't seem to be one and it seems all over the place.
Sophia isnt dead btw, she was kidnapped and under arrest by Onyx Guards, Paduk managed to kill on but Sophia's dog tag was left behind.
I see an hour long gears video and I watch
Very true.
Same
No questions asked.
REAL
Real as fuc
Little did you know. That the next showcase we got it lol
To explain how Adam knew Myrrah before E-Day, Adams wife was exploring the hollow when she came across the Locust. She had written notes and was planning on telling the world about them, but before she could, she was captured and executed. Adam, trying to find his wife, followed her trail and was met with the locust, where he had a meeting with Myrrah. She explained they were at war with lambecy and that they had no other choice but to invade the surface. Adam, not wanting a gnlenocide, convinced her to stay in the Hallow so he could create the device he finished at the end of Gears of War 3. Before he could, the Pendulum wars were still ongoing, and they pressured him into creating the Hammer of Dawn, which made it impossible for him to help the Locust. This inevitably lead to them invading the surface.
Oh wow..
Not to mention that the device still wasn't finished yet, since it would also damage the locust as well, not just the imulsion. But he was never ever to properly fine tune it so that the locust would be spared. And well, we all know how that turned out
also just for more info RAAM also pushed for invading the surface much earlier by letting the lambit take control of the hollow to force queen Myrrah to invade.
29:13 just letting you know, it was either in the books or the comics (I can't remember which), we found out that Tai told Dizzy to run and that Dizzy has been feeling guilty about it ever since
oh yea, i’m pretty sure it was from the comics where tai had a section
It's mentioned in the novel jacintos remnant when dizzy arrives to the rendezvous after jacinto gets sunk
The part where Dom is just fine with dying was actually shown in one of the trailers where he gets knocked down by a locust. The games devs gave us a hint that his time would come to an end but holy shit, it was still depressing.
When I got older And rewatched that trailer, It's fucking devastating. How Dom doesn't fight back at that scene.
“That’s with a d” is HILARIOUS
Knock knock... you had to wait a year, but we finally have good news!
One thing I loved about gears of war 3 is beast mode and the characters for the locust. I don’t think you fight a single Miner or Hunter in the entire game yet we have both of them for Variety cause unlike Gears of war 4 and 5 we just have the enemies we fought and nothing out of the blue like The spotters and stuff like that, just made up enemies that we legit never see in story mode and variants of it instead of the same enemies with different colors.
And Dom’s death scene still hurts me to this day
Gears 3 ending is godlike and I think it has a revolutionary way of thinking about video game stories
It nicely came to a satisfying full-circle ending that tied almost everything together, but calling it "revolutionary" is just absurd.
“Tomorrow Marcus, We finally have a tomorrow.” 😢 ♥️
@@Saidan79 Maybe revolutionary in the sense that almost all media has just shamelessly turned to overmilking their respective cows, while we remember the end of a series wrapping up in a wholesome way, not begging for several spin offs or sequels.
To answer your question to what became of Griffin after gears of war three in the aftermath during the interwar period. He found a group of survivors within Char and they formed another community overtime when Anya and others were reestablishing the COG he was invited to join its council of ministers, in which he did now whether he will be seen in any future game remains to be seen
Interesting..
@@willmelvin2351 indeed
I always get goosebumps everytime I replay dom’s death and the final cutscene
I played Gears 1 when it first came out, I was real young and not use to extreme violence in games yet. I played co-op with my brother so I got to play as Dom and got all those achievements. Then the second game came out and blew our balls off with how good it was. Dom was quickly becoming one of my favorite video game characters and when he finally found Maria, damn that hit hard. Then comes 3 and I just knew deep down Dom wasn't gonna make it. Then you go to Mercy and my brothers like "oh god, here we go". Man I never really cried at a video game before that point.
I don't like any of the gears games that came after so I really just accept 3 as the finale and the rest just feels like fanfic. These 3 games need to be remastered, just give them new graphics and change nothing else, they're amazing the way they are.
To unlock savage theron play on the map trenches and mainly just use tickers up to wave 5 or so to save the most money. Then use boomers. Its a better strategy in co-op and if you want my brother and I can help you. We basically have it down to a science and have helped other people get the theron
I actually might try and take you up on that lol. Ive yet to attempt it in years
say less brah i still have gears 3 installed lets run it i use serrapede op asf@@willmelvin2351
Okay now I want to know if you guys managed to pull it off
U guys got it? I can help too if u want to. Havnt played it years but I got every fkn achievement back then. Took a loooong time but I loved every minute of this masterpiece
What do you guys play on pc or Xbox one?
And now a year later we on the hype train baby.
I’m a bit late to the party since you uploaded this almost a year ago, but the part in Act IV, at around the 40:00 minute mark where the lady says “maybe not all cogs are bad” and let’s you into the armory. It’s a secret scene that only unlocks if you go through the entire city without knocking down any ash people either by walking into them or shooting them. It’s a cool little Easter egg
0:01 So True what Cole said at the beginning 💯
my favorite mini easter egg on the Delta 2 at the beginning if you take Cole onto the playground set you can slide down the slide and Cole makes a "WOO" while going down. Small things like that is why this is my favorite game of all time
I can not wait to replay this series. I just watched all the videos while at work, and it’s got me wanting to race home and download the games again
You definitely should! Theres gonna be videos for the rest of them too!
GoW 3 is probably my favourite game of the trilogy, even if I have and I'm still playing the crap out GoW Pc version. The most beautiful scene of the trilogy is imho when in GoW 1 Delta squad arrive at the imulsion extraction station, with the rain and the lights of the tank illuminating the scene. Dark, intense and very atmospheric. In GoW 2 there is, nonetheless, the most mindblowing sequence, inside the riftworm. In GoW 3 I really loved the initial split-squad adventure, with Marcus and Dom on the ship and Cole and Baird on land searching for food, finally converging to the first revelation given by Chairman Prescott. In GoW 3 I adored almost every chapter of the game, except the last one: too bright and colourful.
Yeah the emulsion factory area is definitely one of my favorite spots for the exact reasons you said. Just amazing
Raams Shadow was one of the best DLC packs ever. Great new Campaign, new characters for multiplayer & Horde, and if i recall, new maps.
I never caught on to the running joke of the Carmines having trouble with reloading, so Clay just shows up with a minigun; no reloading required.
Great timing on this lol. Just watched the first two a few days ago and I hoped this would drop soon--another great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
For me, Gears of War 3 was the absolute conclusion to the Gears of War series and anything that happened after 3 is just fan fiction.
Funny enough that's how I feel about the halo series as well
real trip down memory lane. nice video man interested to see what you got in the works!
I remember getting the gears 3 beta from a bulletstorm case. Gears 3 was just the best. Played the defence of anvil gate just a few hours ago. MARCUS, RUN!! always goes down my spine.
so upset i missed the upload, just started watching but already looks like a great vid
doing beast mode on drydock is pretty easy. as soon as you’re able to afford a beserker, keep on buying it. the corpser is pretty good too since you can heal if you go underground
For the Tai dying thing. This can happen to everyone else, but it happens whenever they stand over an e-hole like idiots. I caught that happening myself.
Thank you for making this video. I have loved gears of war 3 for a long time and i hate that no one recognized the greatness of this game. You helped me relive my childhood.
YES! IVE BEEN WAITING FOR PART 3!
very nice video my DIGGA
Another great vid man, looking forward to the next
Thanks! Workin on Judgement as we speak..
@@willmelvin2351 great to hear, ive got my notifs on for that one
Awesome video man!
This video is a masterpiece, subbed
Watched every minute. Love this series and also wishing for a Fenix collection. On PC too hopefully! Awesome video, really.
Yo… queen myrrah kinda thick tho
You got a lot of laughs on me from these jokes, definitely earned a sub and will go through your backlogs, much love 👍🏽
Glad you enjoyed it, appreciate it!
Been waiting!
0:18 Your dream has become true, almost a year later
Hopefully the algorithm will bless you brother
Great video man!
Good job on the video bro. Really liked it. I just replayed Gears 3 a couple weeks ago. The books are so good. Fills in a lot. I listed to the audiobooks though. The World of Gears thru the books and playing the games is so awesome.
Thanks bro! And yeah man Ive been needing to take the time to read those books, Ive gotten most info about the books so far from wikis haha
Cool vid you forgot to mention the secret chicken lambent boss fight on the boat. Don’t know if it still works on backwards compatible but I remember doing it in the 360
We're so back bros...
Underrated channel
Awesome vid, thanks for goving a real look into whats prob my favourite 3rd person shooter ever
The Digger with a D was an absolutely phenomenal joke man. xD
Wonderful job, you've earned yourself a subscriber.
Thank you!
Man, growing up in the 2000's playing the original Gears of War trilogy was honestly something special... Good times!
I just turned 30 and feel that. 17 years ago when the first GOW came out, I feel so old
I loved this! thanks
Bro I can’t wait for you to review the final two games
Damn solid video. I hope you are able to reap the rewards of the gears hype train! You seem like a dope dude and very knowledgeable when it comes to GoW. I really could see you become one of the big E-Day centered content creators, keep on the grind
Thanks man! Yeah really looking forward to E-day, will certainly be putting content out for it
Gears 3 might as well be the Halo 3 of TPSs.
Relex dude, We have now Gears of War E-Day, finaly
Great video for sure
Thanks! Appreciate it.
1:04:56 is that an iPhone notification!!!!!
But to be fr for a second this is Awesome when I first clicked I thought you must have at least 100k subscribers but to see you currently have less than 1k is insane especially with the quality!
Keep up the amazing work :D
Guys I think he’s still salty to this day idk 🧐
Amazing video. I need to check out your other content
Dom’s story is so sad :/
Fr fr
I really hope The Griffen cliffhanger gets solved in gears 6.
thank you sir i say again these are great videos
Glad you like em man!
This man deserves a sub
The Cole Train runs on wholegrain baby, WHOOOO!
Take me back!!!://::
when they fall through the ship Dom was the only one that almost died in the fire, and he dies in a fire later on in the story so that might just be foreshadowing his death but that's just what I think.
Interesting, never saw it that way before but thats a good observation
@@willmelvin2351something I noticed playing through the game again Adam says it'll harm the locust he didn't say it would kill them
“Cog must not all be that bad” is a secret achievement, the only one in the game and I found it yesterday on accident. You get it by not disturbing the ash people all though I did destroy 2 so I was confused
man those Diggers were really ruining my gaming experience, im glad we got rid of those.
With a D, right?
Fantastic video
About 20 minutes in and enjoying the video a lot so far! One thing I'm noticing is pretty big variance in volume between your commentary and game audio. I have the video volume maxed to hear your commentary nicely, but then you'd cut to game audio and it's drastically louder so it's a bit of a shock and can hurt my ears if I'm wearing ear buds. Overall though I'm enjoying the video a lot! Good commentary and nice to look back at a series I played a lot
Thanks for the feedback, glad you enjoyed it. Audio should be better for Judgement
Gears 3 is in my opinion the best gears of war game overall because every aspect of the game was great. The story was awesome and the multiplayer was the best in the series from the progression system to the gameplay, and the medals gave us some great rewards and some challenges that made the game even better. The horde 2.0 added some new features like a fortification system that was really cool. Then we got beast mode a new game mode that allows us to play as some of the coolest locust characters in the series like the berserker, or the serapede. Overall legendary experience that was one of the best games on the 360. Also, great videos! I love the gears summery vids. You’ve got yourself another subscriber 👍
The good ole days, when we only had to wait a few years for a sequel.
This is very late and probably not too worth mentioning but if you get close to a armored kantus with a drag in your hand and tap the “B” button you’ll stick the kantus with the frag and one shot it, even if it’s not screaming at you
Ahh, I'll have to try that then!
Unlike Gears 1 and 2, of which I fell in love with almost immediately, I think it took me some time to truly appreciate Gears of War 3. I used to think Lambent Contingency was the biggest cop out to end the trilogy because they somehow managed to destroy both the Locust and Lambent in one foul swoop, and while I still don't love it as a plot device, I do really like how the road to get to Azura was a long and hard fought one, with significant losses along the way for our heroes (Dom's death never fails to make me tear up every time I see it). And even when they get to Azura, you really feel like Delta Squad is putting everything they got into getting the Contingency plan going, and even when they finally succeed, it truly feels like a bitter sweet ending; sure, humanity won, but that won't bring back their loved ones and it will take decades for the COG to get back to normalcy (if indeed it could ever be the same, again) perfectly encapsulated in Marcus and Anya's final scene together. While I still believe Gears of War 2 to be the stronger of the two narratively (Gears 3 is way too damn reliant on you having read the books to know what's going on), I still think it was a good way to end the trilogy. :)
And that's not even including the sick ass multiplayer modes, especially Beast Mode and the new and improved Horde Mode from 2! XD
What are your thoughts on gears 4 and 5 as well as judgement?
51:47 maybe he did catch the leviathan on sonar, but the river is not super deep like the ocean. I bet the massive shape just blended with the ground and rocks until it started moving when you got close
The future of Gears will never be as good as the first three games 😢
This series should have ended with 3…
And I stand by that to this day.
I almost agree with you man
I remember playing the beta (literally i was only 10 yrs old lol) and unlocking the flame weapon skins and cole train for retail. Too bad my sister owns my old account now :P
Excellent video, I am also patiently waiting for a remaster for current gen! Gears 5 just didn’t do it for me, but didn’t stop me from playing like 200 hours 😂
I fondly remember the beta for Gears 3 and getting the Gold Retro Lancer skin. That thing was such a flex back in the day!
Hey, I've been watching your Gears analysis videos and I just gotta say they're great!
You're making me think about and question things that I don't remember doing when I was younger, and overall it's just a huge nostalgia trip, especially with Gears 2.
Just one observation, the game clips scattered through your videos are significantly louder than the rest of the narration :o just a personal comment, since at times I had to turn down the volume a lot.
Your channel has a lot of potential c: I wish you luck!
Ah yeah gotta get better with audio balancing, thanks for the feedback glad you enjoyed it!!
Completely forgot about the golden hammer burst for gow2 midnight release! lmao had that shit but it was really only for a flex. Good video as well, I remember watching it before a while ago. I'm glad GOW is having an uprising.
The perfect end to a series. Peace is achieved despite hardship and the future is bright. Thanks Gears 4 and 5 for ruining that....
Damn you're whole reviews on the gears of war trilogy is just peak
Appreciate it!
“Digger with a ‘d’” 💀
I don't know if u mentioned but at anvil gate you can stop the locust from destroying the other gates (expect the scripted one)
Love the video but the volume gap between your voice over and the clips means I can't comfortably listen to it while sleeping or driving, which is what I do with long-form game content usually. Every game clip is a damn jumpscare lmao
The biggest problem of G3 was how OP and easy it was to use the assault rifles in multiplayer
Retro Lancer was fucking nasty bruh.
Ya the retro was strong as hell
yes i spammed retro and i’m not ashamed
Here after the E-Day reveal
Mad excited for it man!
Dude that kill me thing with the human lanbent just horrified me
Yea its terrifying
"after Microsoft got money hungry"
Do you know what company you're talking about? They were money hungry decades before the word Xbox was ever uttered
True lol
I really want a fenix collection! i played and finished this series as a teenager. Now my own son is almost a teenager and to be able to play this series with him on split screen co-op would be amazing
huge w
Here after the E Day trailer
Loved the defence of Anvil since you could actually stop the assault at any of the gates. Just depended how much you cared.
Great videos you should do one on the hole lore
It may have taken about a year but I’m happy to say Gears E day has been announced
so I pre-ordered the game as a freshman, and since I ordered from gamestop I got 2 things
commando Dom, a pretty badass version of Dom,
and a bumper sticker that said "I'm going commando"
not uh useful info but here ya go, that's what I got
No way. Same here!!
Rewatching Gears 3 content, and gotta say, it definitely has some weird instant fail bugs at times
Personally I like Gears 2 more than Gears 3, but if someone said 3 was better I wouldn’t argue. Then again I got every Onyx medal in 3, so it’s not like it wasn’t an amazing game.
That phone notification you decided not to edit out of your voice recording 😅
