You should start a notepad list on your phone when someone says something in random conversation that could be a great band name. I have like 80 at this point
The sad part about this game is there are fans who are sensitive about the way you title it now. I refered to it as Gears of War 5 at a social gathering once, somebody spoke up and said "Actually it's called Gears 5, they renamed it." I said "...I'm calling it Gears of War 5 because that's what it is." And he just packed up his things and left. What a petty jerk
What I found from looking up why it was called Gears 5, and not Gears of War 5, was that they wanted it to easily fit to be tagged on twitter. Also; they argued everyone has been referring to Gears of War as simply Gears for years, so what does it matter. Still odd
13 years vet, I call it Gears, games good, they do need to pump up the content and balancing, the Multiplayer is smooth as hell, best gameplay but it does need a tweak of balancing :3
October, 2019: Yahtzee says if I don't buy merch, my life will go downhill 2020, and 2021: the pandemic proves to be the work of Yahtzee, aimed at punishing those who didn't buy his merch You, mr. Croshaw, are a very mean man.
This man has spent several years being funny in some extremely clever ways. However, this video's simple "SHUT THE FUCK UUUUP!" is arguably one of his funniest moments ever. xD
So they saw the boat stuff in God of War and thought - gosh, that boating through nothing part is great. What? The interesting conversations? Pfft, that's not the part people liked.
Watched this knowing full well that despite enjoying this entry in the Gear series, Yahtzee had absolutely no chance of sharing my good will. Was not disappointed
Honestly i despise gears 5 because it has the most poitless and spineless decision in recent gaming history. The "choose who lives and who dies" moment comes out of nowhere, is dumb and it's irrelevant because Gears in not mass effect so they will have to choose a canonical survivor for that situation. What's worse it that i suspect they will basically let the community decide this and say "oh 52% killed this guy, i guess we will continue the story without him" which, if true, would really say a lot about the fact that the story is really completely pointless which says a lot when you think that even COD has the spine to say "this character die".
I don't know what happens to JD if he dies because the walk-through I watched chose the other guy to die, but as the area starts to break apart the camera shows his dead body falling into a crack in the Earth meaning that in the next installment he's gonna come back as a swarm and whoever is gonna be the main protagonist of the next game is gonna have to struggle with the choice to kill them again. The choice they give in the game is a major dick move on the developer's end, not to mention it makes things harder on them in terms of telling a complete story because no one would have a clue who canonically dies in the end because no matter who they choose they end up making the other choice pointless, like what are they going to do for the book series they'll eventually shit out? would they make JD conically die just to fuck Marcus over even more? I mean the guy looses his father, his brother (basically), his fucking wife, and now he looses his only child and the only thing he has left of Anya- do they just have this raging hate boner for Marcus or something...? plus it's not much of a choice because if I made the decision I would have thrown it at her mom's head- also where the fuck was Jack in all that?
technically he only killed off Tara (not Tara AND Willow) and he´s killed tons more halves of straight couples (Wash, Ballard, Fred, Anya etc.). Having your favourite characters die is just something you have to be prepared for when watching something Whedon made...
"Gears came out on Steam, what are you up to Microsoft?" My man, I bought Ori on my Switch and logged into it with my Xbox account, including gamertag and gamerpic, and unlocked Xbox achievements for it. On my Switch. Microsoft is most certainly up to something.

Not that I don't enjoy these reviews, I do, but I was particularly pleased to hear of the new book! I've quite liked your writing and performance in all the previous books, so I'm rather looking forward to this one as well!
Over the years you've come up with some pretty good illustrations of absurdity in games. The Gears guys being Quake 1 mobs cosplaying as ovens is the most accurate of them all.
Look, I've bought the t-shirts, I've bought the audiobooks, I've bought the paperback books. Now promise me you'll keep writing Sci-Fi because I really enjoyed Will Save the Galaxy for Food! Haven't listened to number two yet but I'm expecting great things!
It’s a shame triple a development studios have kind of forgotten how to make interesting gameplay. Because if you went through every triple a release of the last year. Not a single good original idea can be found. Everything’s either derivative or shit. Hell even the new doom is nothing original, it’s just combining what we already know and making it into a well designed gameplay loop.
Problem isn't the studios...the problem is the publisher having the studio making their game by the balls and making executive decisions on what the game should and shouldn't be. Basically once your studio becomes large enough, you stop making the games you'd want to play and start making the games you are told to make. I mean think about it...the reason most huge titles feel like uninspired slogs is almost certainly because the devs working on it were in an uninspired slog the entire time they were making the thing...I mean there are only so many times you can work on generic shooter game, now with gimmicks, before you just don't give a shit about what you put out there as long as the game runs and the publishers are happy...and that isn't factoring in the new blood that probably has fresh ideas that are deemed to great of a risk to take by the publisher or someone else in an upper management position.
Lurrie Lee still a sequel and not really original. Great from a technical point of view but the gameplay feels hollow almost. I also share Yahtzee’s opinion on god of war in that it’s been castrated for market appeal. Story was good, especially considering where the franchise left off. But again, the combat was hollow. Like it was missing something that would make it perfect. An example would be the movement system and map design of Titanfall 2 multiplayer. The gunplay has been seen before but it’s when it gets combined with amazing hip fire (csgo) and movement mechanics that allow for lightning fast movement and kills that make it amazing. God of war doesn’t meet that. It’s using old combat systems and throwing some spice in (rune attacks and the leviathan axe) but it doesn’t have that “I am the god of war” feel to it. Admittedly none of the GOW games gave that feeling but I can’t help but feel dissatisfied. Again good story and technical flair but the prime gameplay loop feels lacklustre (idk why but the uncharted 4 combat system comes to mind). Thanks for the comment
I pulled it my old zp putrescent waters of knowledge mug today. It lives at work these days waiting for days when my coworkers need a visable warning that I'm pissed and possibly at them for being stupid so go to your corner and think about what you may have done or not done.
The enemies are placed in locations that make sense. Searching for loot or ammo or old tech in abandoned factories, labs, hangars , etc. although the idea of a few roaming around the world to make the world feel a bit more real, or alive but if that’s the case I’d argue for more wildlife maybe or variances in terrain like rivers or ponds / lakes
In all honesty, the gameplay is the secondary purpose. The Lore of the Gears of War Franchise is (in my opinion) a MUST KNOW for you to get impacted. Example: Dominic Santiago, the LAST of his family. Through the books he is there for Marcus at the academy and provides the son of Adam Fenix the family he never had. At the battle of Aspho Fields (mentioned by Anthony Carmine when arriving at Jacinto in Gears of War) his brother Carlos died saving Marcus... then E-Day happens and his kids go missing, closely followed by his wife Maria. When Dom gave his wife a mercy killing, I was heartbroken... only to have it smashed to bits when he drove the rig into the Imulsion Station in Gears of War 3. A little spot of continuity that I noticed, in Gears 5 there is a comment about Marcus loving Tomatoes. This took me back to the start of Gears of War 3 when Dom shouted "you fucked up my tomatoes" to the boarding Lambent. [SPOILERS] When the choice of saving Del or JD came up, I sacrificed Del because I just wanted to keep the Fenix name going. I was shocked at the neck snap, but then realized... that death had little impact. Cole nearly dies and I have a fucking heart attack. I found a collectable near the wrecked Centaur where he was writing a letter to his mom... where in the second book, it is revealed his mom is DEAD and he's writing to keep his head on straight. Jack's Sacrifice also hit me hard. Ro-bro was there at the start and has outshined the cast with that single cutscene. The fact that the ROBOT was more expressive than KAIT at times is also a true fact.
I have wanted to read the expanded material but never had any luck finding physical copies. I feel like Gears and Halo suffer from much the same issues. Given too much crap for their outward appearance and not enough credit for the legitimately good stories they breed
Between the explosion at the body part mill and the certificate factory, at least we don't have to worry about the flopping body parts having their papers in order.
It has been noted that the sections with the skiff there are a few rare enemies to run over never happened in his playthrough so take that for what you will.
As a Gears fan from the beginning I'm just happy that the series survived a new studio and stayed Gears. It could have gone the same route that Halo did by completely ignoring established story, and basically trying to be Call of Duty.
Gotta keep people on the hook for Gamepass with something (while hoping they spend money on some MTX while they wait - that's what having an Xbox has become when it comes to first party titles; MTX and waiting for things).
If you ever get bored yahtzee; check out "Mordheim: city of the damned" it's a flawed tbs with repetitive maps but I highly recommend. With fantasy xcom style combat, perminate death and injuries (e.g. a charicter can lose an arm , changing the model, losing the ability to use 2 handed weapons and gaining 15% dodge chance! ). Once everything unlocks in a warband the strategy gets pretty fun. Don't miss a shipment lol.
Seeing Yatzh plays this made me wanna chew my own freaking arms off. Like he moves at a snail's pace and couldn't shotgun a dudes top half off if he stood still. Which most AI would, like jeez Yatzh I think I developed ADD seeing a man take a sunday stroll in a freaking gunfight.
"Why can't you accept that Joss Wheadon will never hire you!"
Accurate. Everyone wants to be like Wheadon, but doesn't stop to realize that may not be a good thing.
Turns out it's difficult to create tension when none of the characters take the threat seriously.
When everyone's "the funny one" no-one is.
"When everybody's Han Solo, no one's Han Solo!"
More so for Quentin Tarantino.
Snark and “wit” are often used as devices to hide poor character development. Like joss whedon
“Quake Ogres cosplaying as electric ovens” one of your best one-liners of all time.

I found it to be a fun addition. I'm just disappointed they didn't have one final chapter for destroying the Swarm.
Gotta keep people on the hook for Gamepass with something (while hoping they spend money on some MTX while they wait - that's what having an Xbox has become when it comes to first party titles; MTX and waiting for things).
Intro music never gets old
I did not think the Gears of War franchise even existed anymore. Last time I ever heard anything of it was back in like 2008-2009.
0:48-Well now you've cursed it to happen.
You had me at "6 Ton clit piercing!" 😆😆
And four years later, the sequel never came out as far as I know.
Thanks for being the glue that holds escapist together Yahtzee
"Six ton clit piercing" is going to be the name of my next band.
Probably the funniest plug I've seen
WELL that was pretty spot on.
I even enjoyed aspects of Gears 5.
Oh yahtzee, my life was already going downhill before the merch.
If you ever get bored yahtzee; check out "Mordheim: city of the damned" it's a flawed tbs with repetitive maps but I highly recommend. With fantasy xcom style combat, perminate death and injuries (e.g. a charicter can lose an arm , changing the model, losing the ability to use 2 handed weapons and gaining 15% dodge chance! ). Once everything unlocks in a warband the strategy gets pretty fun. Don't miss a shipment lol.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP~~!"
Yahtzee's gonna love the companions in Code vein.
Man, I can't wait for G. It's gonna be such a great game
I lost it at 2:22 when he said “SHUT THE FUCK uuUUUup!”
Seeing Yatzh plays this made me wanna chew my own freaking arms off. Like he moves at a snail's pace and couldn't shotgun a dudes top half off if he stood still. Which most AI would, like jeez Yatzh I think I developed ADD seeing a man take a sunday stroll in a freaking gunfight.
