Oh its good to come back to this franchise. I'm very excited to share with you my thoughts on Gears of War, and how it does an almost perfect job at creating a franchise through world building and visuals. What were your thoughts on the series, and which one was your favorite back in the day or now? Thanks so much! Have a lovely weekend!
@ I think it’s to make their vision for the trilogy become more cohesive. The original ending cinematic for Gears 1 was the voiceover from the queen, but with another random general flying on another bug. The Brumak chapter you played wasn’t in the original game, either. That was added as DLC. Gears 1 felt like a horror game, with a last, desperate struggle for the COG. Make sure when you best Gears 2 (on insane) to listen all the way to the end credits so you can hear some reaction commentary to your actions at the end of that game from a “surprise” character.
Thank you, this means a lot to me, and something I hoped to convey throughout this wild and fun adventure. I’m in it for the long haul : ) and comments like yours give me energy! I wanna start writing on a Saturday ahah Hope all is well!
Holy shit, I've been working on turning STALKER and Gears of War into TTRPG's and your videos are coming out at the perfect times to help with inspiration. This is awesome.
I have never played Gears of War but I enjoyed the video regardless. That's what I love the most about your content. I was originally planning to watch the video in two sections but I couldn't stop watching. Thank you again for your content and I hope you have an amazing day!
I appreciate you so much Viz. I showed my wife this during intermission, it’s a beautiful thing to share, thank you! Giving all my best back to you and loved ones!
Gears of War 1, my all time favorite game. Also helps its part of an amazing series but its really the gane I think of for representing what I love in gaming!
1000% it’s a crime I can’t just buy and download 2 or 3. And even worse is you’re comparison with the master chief collection is so on point since it’s Microsoft! A billion dollar company, that wants to compete but then forgets about their IPs ahah, wild. Hope all is well!
@@Dog.Dad.Studios your welcome honestly the introduction to general ramm back in 2006 was super scary and freaked me out as a kid but made me so happy to take him down was so worth it, also the horror stuff within this game was so cool and freaking crazy in my opinion.
I miss OG gears of war. I loved halo but I felt like I EXPERIENCED the gears universe. Hands down my favorite franchise and I wish it'd return to it's roots cause judgement and everything after it wasn't it :/
I look forward to seeing the whole franchise now, and have no idea what 4/5 will deliver, yet I'm super excited! I definitely hear you about that distinction, and agree wholeheartedly! Thanks for taking the time to comment!
This was an excellent video. I just recently completed the ultimate edition… very timely upload. I’m about to download gears2 since I can’t find my copy from high school
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and write this! I truly appreciate you! Where are you downloading it? I only found it on Xbox cloud gaming? Hope all is well!
So apparently if I get gamepass, on the Microsoft store I can stream it through the Xbox store lol? It’s wild it’s not all on steam.. someone else mentioned the master chief collection, and I’m bewildered how they’ve bungled one of their flagship franchises
Steve Jablonsky did the music for this seties and Bay's Transformers. He has this specialty for grandeur and dramatic scenes. He's apparently a former student of Hans Zimmer's
That’s so awesome! Thank you for sharing that information. I love Hans and I can hear that influence on this OST, it’s a great soundtrack and they utilized it so well within the missions and scripting. Hope all is well!
@Dog.Dad.Studios all is great! Damn good coverage of the game by the way. Hope you do at least part 2 & 3 as well. Karen Traviss' novels answer a ton of questions about Marcus' relationship with his dad and flesh out other characters too. Just watch out because books like The Slab show Marcus' life in prison but also have massive spoilers for Gears 3
@ definitely going to cover 2/3, absolutely adored 2 back in the day playing horde mode with a friend. Thank you for the suggestion as well, I truly appreciate the effort the people that work on these universes put in. Thanks for taking the time to write your response!
Thank you so much! Growing up I liked Tiberium but it was the only one I had access to. Now I love red alert because I get more out of the plot. How about you? I’m hoping EA does something with RA2
COG (Coalition of Ordered Governments) is the super state that Marcus belongs to. Think of a more integrated and militarized NATO. The other super state in the lore is the UIR (Union of Independent Republics). The COG and UIR fought against each other in the "Pendulum War" for 79 years before the emergence of the locust. "Gears" are what soldiers are called in COG society.
@@Dog.Dad.Studios It's mostly extra lore from the comics and novels. The prequel game, "Gears of War: Judgement" briefly mentions the Pendulum War. The upcoming game in development "Gears of War: E-Day" may expand on it, but it's mostly focusing on the initial locust invasion.
If you wanna get to know the universe you should read the Gear of war books by Karen Travis they are amazing. They really flush out the characters and fill in the gap between games
Yes! Freudian slip and my one man editing team didn't catch it (that would be me), apologies! Thank you for taking the time to watch and write this! Hope all is well
@Dog.Dad.Studios xbox are putting their 1st party exclusives on ps5, sony are not putting theirs on xbox. Plus the "this is an xbox" ad pretty much shows Microsoft want xbox as software publisher not hardware manufacturer

My friends hyped this up like crazy when it came-out (and yes, the first hour hooked me.) It just becomes too chaotic for me (not a great gamer) lol
The Queen wasn’t revealed until Gears 2. A lot was changed in the Ultimate Edition that just dropped hints or what Gears 2 and 3 will bring.
@@SteelerFan716 ah! That’s wild, why do you think they did that?
@ I think it’s to make their vision for the trilogy become more cohesive. The original ending cinematic for Gears 1 was the voiceover from the queen, but with another random general flying on another bug.

Hope you beat the Ravens today!
@@Dog.Dad.Studios Thank you sir! One can dream with the Steelers! Keep up the good work on the content. I enjoy your videos.
@ I appreciate your kind words : ) as a New York sports fan, I feel this statement
Quality content you're making here. Your passion really shines through.
Hope you stick with it and find the success you desire!

Man, the need to give Gears the Master Chief Collection treatment and put these games on Steam.

My experience with gow 1 was my first time having a speaker system and subwoofer (I’ve never been to a movie theater). The nostalgia is surreal.
Thank you for sharing this! That’s an awesome memory : )!!
havent finished the first one but so far so good , for sure it was 2000's all over it
I love the first gears of war game it was really awesome and badass.
Thank you for sharing this! Was there a particular part that you most enjoyed? Wishing you the best!
@@Dog.Dad.Studios your welcome honestly the introduction to general ramm back in 2006 was super scary and freaked me out as a kid but made me so happy to take him down was so worth it, also the horror stuff within this game was so cool and freaking crazy in my opinion.

The first three games were my childhood the first game was my first 360 game
Thank you for sharing this! Did you have a favorite out of the original trilogy?
Gears is my favorite shooter franchise, period.
That’s awesome! Is there any specific part you particularly enjoy?
I was NOT expecting the Disco Warcraft 2 code to play.
It’s a banger lol 😂
I wanted to convey how out of place that portion felt to me on the bridge. Hope all is well storm!
@Dog.Dad.Studios I think it worked, even if it didn't match the mood. I had a "I haven't heard that name in ages" moment.
Heeeeey , I got to give the first like!
And now, I shall proceed to watch the video as well 😁
I appreciate you, thank you! Hope you enjoy!
It's kinda sad you can't play gears 2 and gears 3 and judgement on pc
So apparently if I get gamepass, on the Microsoft store I can stream it through the Xbox store lol? It’s wild it’s not all on steam.. someone else mentioned the master chief collection, and I’m bewildered how they’ve bungled one of their flagship franchises
Steve Jablonsky did the music for this seties and Bay's Transformers. He has this specialty for grandeur and dramatic scenes. He's apparently a former student of Hans Zimmer's
That’s so awesome! Thank you for sharing that information. I love Hans and I can hear that influence on this OST, it’s a great soundtrack and they utilized it so well within the missions and scripting.
Hope all is well!

Thanks for taking the time to write your response!
They said Cole Train (like coal train) then you said J Train, and now I am confused.
Ahaha no that's my bad and something I didn't catch in editing! Thank you for bringing it to my attention!
I just assumed you were referring to an actual athlete I didn't know.
Great content, we're you a command and conquer fan? If so did you prefer the Tiberium plot line or the Red Alert?
I prefer Red Alert, probably because it was the first game I paid for. Saved up $10 mostly in pennies.
Thank you so much! Growing up I liked Tiberium but it was the only one I had access to. Now I love red alert because I get more out of the plot. How about you?
I’m hoping EA does something with RA2
@Dog.Dad.Studios They had the whole series on sale on Steam. For a bit it was less than $5.
COG (Coalition of Ordered Governments) is the super state that Marcus belongs to. Think of a more integrated and militarized NATO. The other super state in the lore is the UIR (Union of Independent Republics). The COG and UIR fought against each other in the "Pendulum War" for 79 years before the emergence of the locust.
"Gears" are what soldiers are called in COG society.
Thank you! Do they explain this in game or is this exterior from the main narrative in the original trilogy? Looking forward to delving into the lore
@@Dog.Dad.Studios It's mostly extra lore from the comics and novels. The prequel game, "Gears of War: Judgement" briefly mentions the Pendulum War. The upcoming game in development "Gears of War: E-Day" may expand on it, but it's mostly focusing on the initial locust invasion.
Giving all my vibes back : ) have a lovely weekend!
If you wanna get to know the universe you should read the Gear of war books by Karen Travis they are amazing. They really flush out the characters and fill in the gap between games
Thank you so much! I’ll grab it for my kindle : )
Isn't it A Train?
Yes! Freudian slip and my one man editing team didn't catch it (that would be me), apologies! Thank you for taking the time to watch and write this! Hope all is well
Xbox already lost
In what way? I like both and having lived through the console wars, both have had great titles
@Dog.Dad.Studios xbox are putting their 1st party exclusives on ps5, sony are not putting theirs on xbox. Plus the "this is an xbox" ad pretty much shows Microsoft want xbox as software publisher not hardware manufacturer
@ very fair! I wish everyone had access to all games, now that consoles cost the same as a decent PC. Thanks for taking the time!
