My dad and I, practically, lived in horde mode back in the day. We reached Wave 50 on hardcore difficulty on every map (my dad can only handle so much 😂) Our go-to map was trenches. That fricken sand storm was so cool back then; and it makes me sad it never got remastered in Gears 5.
I played 1-3 .. I stopped at 3. Never played 4 & 5… Dom Death was enough for me… RIP Dom. I remember back then on the 360 me and my little brother will always play gears of war after school together and he will always play 2nd player which is Dom and yup he did cried when Dom died.

Tactics is the first good Gears game since 2011, but I'm guessing who made this doesn't like that genre. Maybe not characters, but definitely went back to that brutal feeling and the good era of Gears.

If they would have released it in 2017-2019 and took time to actually work on it, I think it would have been really good but unfortunately Microsoft has few to no companies that really care to make masterpieces.
I actually really enjoyed Judgement. I know its a little different but it was a pretty good time going thru on Hardcore, doing all the challenges and 3 starring them. And it was nice to get backstory to Baird and Cole.
Still don't enjoy how they made levels have no designs infavour of being a constant horde mode but unlike gears 3, judgement provided variety to not feel boring

Coming from someone who has played every game starting with the launch of gears 1, have no idea why 4 and 5 get so much hate. They're so damn good. Characters and story aren't as interesting because it's kind of a retread, but the set pieces, level design, moment to moment gameplay, and the graphics are all superb. Besides, I feel like Gears 1 was the only Gears that didn't have the "bro power" motif. Overhated, underrated, especially Gears 5.
The problem with four is that it has nothing new to offer but reused material, and the color pallet for 4 and 5 was too bright/clean. Gears 5 was just ass they shoehorn ed in kate as the main character and she is the most annoying manchild every. All past character were perfessional solider that didn't follow orders when their was no other choice. Kate does whatever she wants whenever with no punishment. Marius got a life sentence and baird got court marshaled.
For me, 4, and 5's campaigns don't live up to the "of War" title. The games themselves are great, but they seem to have forgotten what Gears of War was really about...also Kait was annoying asf in 5
@@elininja2130 Don't get me wrong, I definitely don't love the story. It's whatever, even bad at times. It's just that I don't think that's the biggest appeal of Gears of War. I don't think any of the stories are particularly amazing, even though they were undoubtedly better in the original trilogy. It's the set pieces and amazing gameplay that always kept bringing me back. And as far as gameplay goes, I feel it is as good as ever. No complaints there. The series definitely could afford to be more bold and inventive, but I'm fine with them just sticking with what works and refining it as well. Maybe won't win any awards, but I'm fairly content with it.

@@dukev089 I appreciate it bro. I wish I could just go back sometimes. It will always have a big place in my heart. He's the one who started my whole gaming career. I remember when I was 5 years old and my cousin would be like, "let me check your temperature." Then he would processed to blow off my head every time.😂 My dude has a whole job, and it is he's last year of school. Damn time really does fly by. I know it just a game, but to me it means much more. It the simple things that I wish could once experience again.😢
I will never forget the horror of the factory and the pure craziness of killing that giant ass worm. Not to mention the crazy speech from come train in the locust hive. Gears 2 had to be the most fun and game changing in the series, gears 1 and 3 were definitely a close second. But damnit I just miss waking up on Saturday morning and playing execution with my boys on gears two. I must’ve replayed that campaign half a million times and enjoyed it every time.
i dont really understand all the love i see for 4 OR 5's hordes honestly, i felt like 3 did the mode so perfectly, i was super addicted to horde in 3 when it came out, but whenever i tried 4 and 5 i just couldn't get any enjoyment out of the horde modes at all
WARNING: it's a long comment I loved it! And I played Gears 2, 3 and Judgement before 4 was even announced, when they announced it my dad and I played it, and the only thing I didn't like was how reliant it was on horde style gameplay, when it was your typical gameplay it was fine, the addition of the storms was interesting though annoying at time, and the general enemies introduced were really great for the beginning of a new era, but Gears 5? WOOOH! Dude I have just as many good memories of that game as Gears 3, which at the time was my favorite game of the franchise, Gears 5 has some of the most interesting changes I've seen so far in the franchise (well technically Gears Tactics is the most different hehe). Gears 5 has everything great from 4 and excels on the formula of the previous games, while also building up on the lore presented in Gears 2 and alluded to in Gears 3, Gears of War as a whole is the reason 5 is so good, but it's also a great upgrade in many levels, visually one of the most realistic so far, the reflections on the armors, the blood stains on your character after a fight, the environmental lighting is on point. Just wonderful, and the mechanics on the gameplay were also improved, having stealth by itself is great, though the AI must be improved for that, as there were times in which I played single player and Del would just walk in front of a corrupted DB, much better with a real person, also the slight change on how powerful the OG Lancer is in this game is one of my favorite things, this iconic weapon deserved this power up it got, making headshots taking enemies down quickly, the chainsaw also having a slightly quicker reaction, the impact and damage of the gnasher is kept from Gears 4 and presents a greater threat for the player with the more powerful Grenadiers, the new base pistol is a good addition, though because of the lack of need of it in lower difficulties I didn't needed it, but on a higher difficulty? Boy I'm glad I had it.
@@therookie5714 alright, your allowed to have your opinion, but I am curious, because I'd like to expand my point of view on your comment, why exactly do you believe that?
I think most people feels smarter, wiser and with good taste saying that everything beyond Gears 3 is crap because the “fandom” says so, I still play Gears 5 and have a very good time
Bro gears of war 3 did something for me and my family. My dad loved gears so much he got me and my brother into it and we played endlessly on 1 and 2 and when 3 finally came out it was an unimaginable, unforgettable experience and im forever grateful for this franchise [despite 4 and 5]
In my opinion: Gears of War 1: "WOOOOOOOOHHH" Gears of War 2: "THAT'S WHY IT'S THE GOAT! THE GOAT!" Gears of War 3: "It was perfect, perfect, down to the last minute details." Gears of War judgement: "I mean it's alright" Gears of War 4: Noice Gears of War 5: "Noice " Gears tattics: "it's the biggest piece of dogshit"
@@user-cd3zf2gs2w Game was bullshit at launch, they’ve since backtracked and removed the shady MTX. I still prefer 4’s MP, but I think 4 has the best MP in the series so that doesn’t say much. 5 is a fun game.
Gears tactics is actually insanely good when you get into it, the customization is what the regular games should have, none of that skill card bullshit. Only reason tactics doesn’t get much attention is because of the genre of game it is tbh but I encourage anyone who is a gears fan to try it if they havnt already!
@@tetermc "undeserved hate" hey man if you REALLY loved 5's story that much that's awesome for you, but considering me and thousands of others were so bored by the story that i couldn't even be bothered to finish it, i don't think the hate is "undeserved", rather you're easier to please than most
There's a lot of bickering in the comments let me settle this dispute. Gears Judgment: Made to be prequel to gears 1 to let us understand the characters Baird and Cole better. Multiplayer not awful. Gears 1/UE: Both amazing gameplay dark theme to the world of sera got us all hooked multiplayer pretty good. Gears 2: Made to give us a sense of love and hate for some characters also got us hooked in the campaign, better multiplayer. Gears 3: An epic and sad end to a beloved franchise. Gears 4: The kick off to another amazing tour of duty with the COG Army campaign better then Gears 5. Multiplayer beloved by all. Gears 5: Campaign weren't so good because of if it's horrendous cut to the trilogy. Multiplayer pretty balance mixture of Gears 4 and 3.
Something which I really liked in gears two is how crates were generally faction alligned Cog crates would give you ballistic ammo and sniper shots and then locusts would give you some ballistic ammo and then an ungodly amount of explosive ammo. Made the campaign really fun. When they pulled kind of the same trick in gears five man I was like a kid in a candy store. It was fun considering that three and four didn't commit to what gears two established there.
Nah bro it’s not right you think tactics is better than gears 5 and gears pop I bought a funko pop and got gears pop bro y’all weird I played every gears 5 times probably you guys are wired plus judgment is trash it’s the worst??!!
@@alejandroalf729depends what you're after, a good story with memorable characters? Probs best to look elsewhere or to the older gear games, but if you want a dumb fun shooter with good gameplay, tight controls and unique weapons you could do alot worse than Gears 4.
@@MrTrebol4hojas I know. I replayed it a few months ago and the only thing I could think of was "it's almost over, after this I can play Gears 2". It was good for it's time and it's still enjoyable, but there are some mechanics that just aged like a dead body.
Gears 2 and 3 where bangers. I remember playing Horde mode after 100 percent the campaign on insane mode with my brother. Back then was the peak of the couch co-op days
Honestly I played all of them and what was the most iconic game in that whole stack was the first 3 gears games and gears 4 is a solid game it's not bad it's very solid and gears 5 honestly if they gave it a lil more years to work on it like how the did the first 3 hands down would've been a pretty damn good game
Damn, when you see people calling Gears 5 "trash" in comments, you see that the standards on the Gears community are extremely high. Either that, or, they don't know how to tell when a videogame is good or bad.
@@user-cd3zf2gs2w I know, but, when a game isn't as good as I expected, I don't consider it trash. For me, "trash" should be at least a bad or mediocre game, like The Last Us Part 2. I know some people (minority) can handle Part 2's story, and others dislike the story and characters, but enjoy the simple fighting/shooting mechanics with good animations, and looting for 40% of the gameplay, but that's not me. I understand Uncharted 3 wasn't as good as Uncharted 2, but that doesn't mean I think that game is "trash". Gears 5 is a good game, so imagine how much it surprises me to see people calling it "trash".
@@joseijosei The 5th is trash because it is like that since Day 1 The Game is really really bad in every aspect, story, characters, empty fanservice, gameplay, "unlockables" and shop, the Game is a mess and it's pure crap, I really regret pre-ordering it with the steelcase
In Brazil, where the first Gears few people played at the launch of the Xbox Gears 5 store in the top 3 of the best scores... I believe that the Gears fanbase is old so they have a certain false nostalgia because the new Gears have evolved everything in the matter gameplay and the story and characters are well writ
Not even kidding. Took us like 3 or so years. But my friend and I played through all the games on insane. We did the original Gears 1 long ago. Either when backwards compatability came out or even before. We then did Remastered. Was fun. But the cut content they added in killed that run for us. It's in like a movie theatre. We had to stop playing for like 3 or so months. It was just so unbalanced for insane coop. 1 person dies and you have to restart it. Gears 2 was a lot more fun. But we stopped right around the area where your on the floating platforms where they transport prisoners. There's a scene with a checkpoint, where you immediately spawn in front of a dude on a turret. We also just kind of lost interest and waited a couple months. The mission where you control a tank is still something we laugh about today. Cause one person drives and the other shoots. You also get killed in a couple hits from even turrets. So we had to play a game of cat and mouse and slowly poke out every time. Took forever. Gears 3 we beat in record time. What with Active reload. The only difficult part was the final boss where they obviously didn't test it for insane. We got all ready to go and play Judgment. But my friend for some reason his save data didn't transfer all the way. Cause it retained his level. But said he never completed the main campaign and couldn't play on insane. An obnoxious old game practice I am glad is done with mostly. Then we went on to 4, and that's where everything went down hill. There's a ton of weird stuff with it. Like the respawn system. Unlike in the OG Gears. Your partner dies and it's checkpoint restart. A stupidly obnoxious feature. Then the story was nonsensical as well. There was some weird plotline of Kate or whatever her name hating the idea of pregnancy. Which carried onto 5. The story was so sloppy and awful in comparison to the weakest of the OG Gears game. Definately felt like they didn't have a story to tell and a reason to bring back old characters, but more so it felt like Microsoft wanted a new Gears game and by golly are they gonna get it. My friend and I ended up just having to use cheats after a certain point. Infinite health. Was not fun at all. Gears 5 is one of the biggest piles of poo I've seen. The story is x50 worse. Now we have characters pregnant for some reason. I thought they were gonna go down the route of allowing us to choose between having Kate go down the evil route and become the Queen or do the good route. Was kind of getting excited. But then they ruined it. The only likable character is barely in the game. A more open world Gears game isn't a bad idea. But awfully executed. None of the charm of open world games was brought over. They continued the awful respawn system. The trailers leading up to the game were so bad that I actually didn't think it was an official trailer and thought it was fan made. Had Billy Elish in it I think? Came across as an edgy teenagers angst video. Them removing the name "Gears of War" with "Gears" was a red sign for me. It actually felt like the studio has disdain for the fans. Like they're upset they're being made to make this game. I also don't know a single person that was mildly interested in Gears 5. It was announced the reaction I saw was more "oh yeah... more gears" Gears 5 actually seemed like some teenagers Wattpad story. Fanfiction at best and their own work at worse. Because they honestly seem like they want to make a different game. But are stuck with Gears. We quit playing the game. Got so awful and boring. Story was too frustrating to continue playing. I truly felt like the best bet would've been to do gigantic remakes of the OG trilogy. Like maybe add on to the already existing stuff, while heavily improving the graphics and combat. Maybe adding in new weapons, missions, collectables, enemies or wacky modifiers to the game you can do. I could've seen them releasing the OG trilogy individually and being a great success. Maybe allow for hype to get built up and maybe allow the new studio to get passionate about the game series. My friend and I just started a day ago playing through Judgment, and are gonna replay again on insane afterwards and get that achievement.
Is Gears 4 and 5 really bad? I grew up watching my family play all the OG Gears games( family of Gamers ), but my first one was Gears 4. Honestly, it's the best imo, and Gears 5 is okay.
I've been a Gears fan since 2009, played all the games multiple times and read all the novels and Gears 4 and Gears 5 are my second and most favourite games in the franchise respectively and far and away the peak of Gears storytelling. Also, DO NOT SLEEP ON TACTICS!!! It's seriously outrageously fun.
That’s not a good argument to why gears 4 and 5 are “good games”. Plus you know that it can be turned back against you, right? (Example) Gears 4 and 5 ruined the franchise. If you like them then you are not a real fan.

It's the set pieces and amazing gameplay that always kept bringing me back. And as far as gameplay goes, I feel it is as good as ever. No complaints there. The series definitely could afford to be more bold and inventive, but I'm fine with them just sticking with what works and refining it as well. Maybe won't win any awards, but I'm fairly content with it.

Ahem, if you'll allow me:
• Gears of War 2 ( love the story beats and settings )
• Gears of War ( Just the right amount of story to keep you thinking with nice gameplay )
• Gears of War 3 ( perfect ending to all the arcs, story is God )
• Gears of War: Tactics ( I like xcom fight me )
• Gears 5 ( Modernised controls, good fights and story beats are ok )
• Gears of War 4 ( Really like the recap at the beginning of the game, other than that the game is ok, feels like it could be summarized with about 3 chapters )
•Gears of War: Judgement ( it's alright, I like the characters and settings but if you want a better explanation of E-day just play shadow of RAAM DLC )
As someone who never played any of them I like this summary, thanks

I didn't like it. It felt more like a fan game than an official entry
I like the way Hoard mode operates in Gears 5 as of today.
I will never forget the horror of the factory and the pure craziness of killing that giant ass worm. Not to mention the crazy speech from come train in the locust hive. Gears 2 had to be the most fun and game changing in the series, gears 1 and 3 were definitely a close second. But damnit I just miss waking up on Saturday morning and playing execution with my boys on gears two. I must’ve replayed that campaign half a million times and enjoyed it every time.

The movement in Gears 1 is unmatched and I hope it comes back
Gears judgement is very good. Used to play it when i was young. So awesome
Gears 4's campaign might not have been the greatest but its horde was exquisite. Certainly better than the convoluted class system from 5
i dont really understand all the love i see for 4 OR 5's hordes honestly, i felt like 3 did the mode so perfectly, i was super addicted to horde in 3 when it came out, but whenever i tried 4 and 5 i just couldn't get any enjoyment out of the horde modes at all
4 and 5 are great games
Exactly
4 is bullshit, the fact it was in a bundle with halo 5 proves my point

I don’t think Gears 5 was that bad tbh
It wasn't. I really enjoyed it
WARNING: it's a long comment
I loved it! And I played Gears 2, 3 and Judgement before 4 was even announced, when they announced it my dad and I played it, and the only thing I didn't like was how reliant it was on horde style gameplay, when it was your typical gameplay it was fine, the addition of the storms was interesting though annoying at time, and the general enemies introduced were really great for the beginning of a new era, but Gears 5? WOOOH! Dude I have just as many good memories of that game as Gears 3, which at the time was my favorite game of the franchise, Gears 5 has some of the most interesting changes I've seen so far in the franchise (well technically Gears Tactics is the most different hehe).
Gears 5 has everything great from 4 and excels on the formula of the previous games, while also building up on the lore presented in Gears 2 and alluded to in Gears 3, Gears of War as a whole is the reason 5 is so good, but it's also a great upgrade in many levels, visually one of the most realistic so far, the reflections on the armors, the blood stains on your character after a fight, the environmental lighting is on point. Just wonderful, and the mechanics on the gameplay were also improved, having stealth by itself is great, though the AI must be improved for that, as there were times in which I played single player and Del would just walk in front of a corrupted DB, much better with a real person, also the slight change on how powerful the OG Lancer is in this game is one of my favorite things, this iconic weapon deserved this power up it got, making headshots taking enemies down quickly, the chainsaw also having a slightly quicker reaction, the impact and damage of the gnasher is kept from Gears 4 and presents a greater threat for the player with the more powerful Grenadiers, the new base pistol is a good addition, though because of the lack of need of it in lower difficulties I didn't needed it, but on a higher difficulty? Boy I'm glad I had it.
It was trash. Nothing like the original gears of war.
@@therookie5714 alright, your allowed to have your opinion, but I am curious, because I'd like to expand my point of view on your comment, why exactly do you believe that?

I remember playing gears 4 for the first time. Soon as I started it, I couldn’t wait for it to end.
Gears tactics is actually insanely good when you get into it, the customization is what the regular games should have, none of that skill card bullshit.

@@tetermcundeserved huh that's 🧢
There's a lot of bickering in the comments let me settle this dispute.
Gears Judgment: Made to be prequel to gears 1 to let us understand the characters Baird and Cole better. Multiplayer not awful.
Gears 1/UE: Both amazing gameplay dark theme to the world of sera got us all hooked multiplayer pretty good.
Gears 2: Made to give us a sense of love and hate for some characters also got us hooked in the campaign, better multiplayer.
Gears 3: An epic and sad end to a beloved franchise.
Gears 4: The kick off to another amazing tour of duty with the COG Army campaign better then Gears 5. Multiplayer beloved by all.
Gears 5: Campaign weren't so good because of if it's horrendous cut to the trilogy. Multiplayer pretty balance mixture of Gears 4 and 3.
Something which I really liked in gears two is how crates were generally faction alligned
Cog crates would give you ballistic ammo and sniper shots and then locusts would give you some ballistic ammo and then an ungodly amount of explosive ammo. Made the campaign really fun.
When they pulled kind of the same trick in gears five man I was like a kid in a candy store. It was fun considering that three and four didn't commit to what gears two established there.
Gears of war 3 Cole and Baird are my favorite but man when dom died that lowkey hurt
Finally a video ranking that's actually right 😂
Nah bro it’s not right you think tactics is better than gears 5 and gears pop I bought a funko pop and got gears pop bro y’all weird I played every gears 5 times probably you guys are wired plus judgment is trash it’s the worst??!!

Damn, when you see people calling Gears 5 "trash" in comments, you see that the standards on the Gears community are extremely high. Either that, or, they don't know how to tell when a videogame is good or bad.
Well, as someone who plays since 2006, i want a perfect game, and TC only do the things wrong, the idea is improve everything, not making it worst
@@user-cd3zf2gs2w I know, but, when a game isn't as good as I expected, I don't consider it trash. For me, "trash" should be at least a bad or mediocre game, like The Last Us Part 2.

I understand Uncharted 3 wasn't as good as Uncharted 2, but that doesn't mean I think that game is "trash". Gears 5 is a good game, so imagine how much it surprises me to see people calling it "trash".

In Brazil, where the first Gears few people played at the launch of the Xbox Gears 5 store in the top 3 of the best scores...

Gears 1-3 is peak so much nostalgia from those games
It’s fitting to have charlie here
Not even kidding. Took us like 3 or so years. But my friend and I played through all the games on insane.
We did the original Gears 1 long ago. Either when backwards compatability came out or even before. We then did Remastered. Was fun. But the cut content they added in killed that run for us. It's in like a movie theatre. We had to stop playing for like 3 or so months. It was just so unbalanced for insane coop. 1 person dies and you have to restart it.
Gears 2 was a lot more fun. But we stopped right around the area where your on the floating platforms where they transport prisoners. There's a scene with a checkpoint, where you immediately spawn in front of a dude on a turret. We also just kind of lost interest and waited a couple months. The mission where you control a tank is still something we laugh about today. Cause one person drives and the other shoots. You also get killed in a couple hits from even turrets. So we had to play a game of cat and mouse and slowly poke out every time. Took forever.
Gears 3 we beat in record time. What with Active reload. The only difficult part was the final boss where they obviously didn't test it for insane.
We got all ready to go and play Judgment. But my friend for some reason his save data didn't transfer all the way. Cause it retained his level. But said he never completed the main campaign and couldn't play on insane. An obnoxious old game practice I am glad is done with mostly.
Then we went on to 4, and that's where everything went down hill. There's a ton of weird stuff with it. Like the respawn system. Unlike in the OG Gears. Your partner dies and it's checkpoint restart. A stupidly obnoxious feature. Then the story was nonsensical as well. There was some weird plotline of Kate or whatever her name hating the idea of pregnancy. Which carried onto 5. The story was so sloppy and awful in comparison to the weakest of the OG Gears game. Definately felt like they didn't have a story to tell and a reason to bring back old characters, but more so it felt like Microsoft wanted a new Gears game and by golly are they gonna get it. My friend and I ended up just having to use cheats after a certain point. Infinite health. Was not fun at all.
Gears 5 is one of the biggest piles of poo I've seen. The story is x50 worse. Now we have characters pregnant for some reason. I thought they were gonna go down the route of allowing us to choose between having Kate go down the evil route and become the Queen or do the good route. Was kind of getting excited. But then they ruined it. The only likable character is barely in the game. A more open world Gears game isn't a bad idea. But awfully executed. None of the charm of open world games was brought over. They continued the awful respawn system. The trailers leading up to the game were so bad that I actually didn't think it was an official trailer and thought it was fan made. Had Billy Elish in it I think? Came across as an edgy teenagers angst video. Them removing the name "Gears of War" with "Gears" was a red sign for me.
It actually felt like the studio has disdain for the fans. Like they're upset they're being made to make this game. I also don't know a single person that was mildly interested in Gears 5. It was announced the reaction I saw was more "oh yeah... more gears" Gears 5 actually seemed like some teenagers Wattpad story. Fanfiction at best and their own work at worse. Because they honestly seem like they want to make a different game. But are stuck with Gears.
We quit playing the game. Got so awful and boring. Story was too frustrating to continue playing.
I truly felt like the best bet would've been to do gigantic remakes of the OG trilogy. Like maybe add on to the already existing stuff, while heavily improving the graphics and combat. Maybe adding in new weapons, missions, collectables, enemies or wacky modifiers to the game you can do. I could've seen them releasing the OG trilogy individually and being a great success. Maybe allow for hype to get built up and maybe allow the new studio to get passionate about the game series.
My friend and I just started a day ago playing through Judgment, and are gonna replay again on insane afterwards and get that achievement.
