Gears of War Judgment didn't deserve the hate. Sure the game wasn't similar in fashion to the original trilogy, but it opened the door to many fun possible directions for the franchise to evolve and become greater. Not to mention, it was a completely faithful developed Gears of War game, unlike the Sequel trilogy games (Gears of War 4 and Gears 5) in my opinion.
You deserve more credit and attention for your work my friend, almost every last word you said in this video was great because I believed the same way. I thought gears judgment was a great game and showed how our characters became the people who loved. I played almost every last gears game and I can you that judgment is not a bad game, I had a lot of fun especially seeing new enemies and new characters that were great in my opinion. I love how they showed us that cole was awesome in the beginning, he finishing the cog and needed to see what war does to you. I truly believe that judgment should get a second chance and be loved as a gears game for what it tired to be different. Keep doing a awesome job dude even if your channel is small, I know your gonna be noticed by some people who will love your content
Judgement is my favorite, 6 great Acts, OverRun, etc. But i also enjoy 4 and 5.
I didn't like the control change, but it was gears still. The only reason I played was the og Onyx guards. You can thank the onyx guards.
@@itisendtimes1689 first off chill out you hateful little shit.
Second if they did increase speed in 3 its hardly noticeable. 3 ppl still shotgun blitz in gear 1 2 and ultimate.
It wasnt brought in in 3 its always been a thing and why i dont play mutiplayer in gears. Last time i played mutiplayer was gears 3 beta.
@@itisendtimes1689 and the wall bounceing is also dumb
I remember forcing my dad to take me into Tesco at 2 in the morning to buy this game, we absolutely loved it and we finished it in one sitting that night, it was one of the last games I played with my dad and it will forever be special to me
im sorry to hear that hopefully a better gears of war game comes out so you both can enjoy a real gears game
@@krazyspartanodst I think you may have missed what last meant 😶🌫️
That's amazing, I remember watching my sister play them growing up and then playing them myself when I got older. I'm currently doing a complete timeline run with my other sister.
So just play another game with dad.
@krazyspartanodst you just dick ride the hating bunch, how's the woke points dumbass
To be fair, many of us just didn't like the multiplayer and stuff, but the campaign is solid if ya ask me.
Even then, the loose ends left open. I'd say it was meh.
It was definitely meh. Baird and Cole were way too serious and acted nothing like their original selves (or older selves in this scenario cuz it’s a prequel). Karn was a complete joke
Yes
Yh I feel this way too. I enjoyed the campaign. Not as much as previous gears, but still enjoyed it. However yes the multi-player was garbage
Except the final boss and Baird and cole are not the same people at all really but this is before they were at war for years so makes some sense
The campaign was really good, it was nice to see some UIR representation in the gears games
Yeah but the amount of retcons in the game made it bad like the chainsaw existence in the game time that they can get away with if they said after few years after E-day instead of few weeks and the kantus appearance too and even the new enemy the rager they said they extinct and then they appeared in gears 3 time in the aftermath story
@@meemoo5047 Yea, some plot holes. But it was a nice game to enjoy.
And bonus gow3 part was great
Campaign was short and boss battle sucked
@@SoulWarriorSF but it randomly generated new enemies in the old location each time you replayed the game
The campaign was pretty damn good it's just the multiplier was bad
The Savior Of The Locust Horde
I wouldn't call the multiplayer bad but more of "lacking" in comparison to the previous two Gears of War Epic games.
You couldn't play as the drones grenadiers and Therons
@@Nolongerhereanymore
In Overrun you could play as the Locust, the Grenadiers were an option. But I agree there should have been more Locust characters, they could have added some more over time as DLC but Epic was done with the franchise and Cliffy B left so there wasn't any motivation for the rest of Epic and People Can Fly to continue to support the game.
Ok then
I have a question
Do you like the remastered Locust
In gears 1 UE
@@Nolongerhereanymore In terms of their designs and appearance. Yeah, I liked them. In terms of character, I prefer the original, much scarier, dirty, and more intimidating
My main complaint against was how they limited your weapon you can carry. I hated how instead of 3 guns, 2 main and a sidearm, you can only 2 at all times. And I couldn’t get used to pushing Y to switch weapons, preferred the d pad .
Maybe they should have kept the D-Pad system but make it faster. When I play Judgement and then GoW 1, 2 or 3 the first change I spot is:
"Damn, Baird equiped the Fast Hands perk."
One of my favorite moments from Judgement was when the Onyx Guard interrupted the judgement and respectfully recommended postponing it to fight the Locust and his very clear hesitation and anger when he was told “Then it’s a short walk” I love that you can tell every emotion that Onyx guard felt even though he had a helmet on covering his face.
I was just on that part. He's like: "this idiot."
Judgments greatest sin was the hugely lacking amount of content and post support.
D Blundz
I concur.
I enjoyed the campaign for this game but the problem lied in the changes to multiplayer. When you have something that’s been core to the multiplayer for 3 games such as DBNO state, 4 starting weapons and the Locust characters, it feels more natural and right to have that and it wasn’t a smart move to change that aspect. It just didn’t feel the same. I still think Overrun was one of the best game modes they have developed though and I want that to return. I don’t hate the game, I just wish they didn’t change what was core to the previous instalments in multiplayer. The multiplayer died so quick and even a few days after it’s release in March 2013, the numbers were higher on GOW 3. If they didn’t change the multiplayer mechanics and included Locust characters within other multiplayer modes besides Overrun, I guarantee the game woulda got better reception.
Judgement feels like the halo 3 odst of gears of war. It's short, has a great story, things changed and the multi-player is okay.
Yeah it always felt like the halo reach of gears of war as well for me
@@InSayNayTay0137 So.
A good game?
Cuz the ODST analogy was spot on.
@@InSayNayTay0137 Reach is a great Halo game definitely better than 4 and 5.
Intrasting you make the halo comparison, i think geares has a few homages to halo, like the lamambet to the flood, the locust lambet war simmilar to the great schisim in halo 2. And gears hand halo 3 end with a super weapon being activated.
@@wolflord8117 your drawing far off conclusions though the halo rings are far more deadly then the light mass missles the flood is far more dangerous then the lambent since its the inulsion mutating living organisms to protect itself whereas the flood wants ultimate knowledge above all and the way between the locust and lambent as opposed to the schism was the elites finally rebelling after centuries of being slaves to the prophets but the lambent was a organic living being that feared its own destruction since it was used as a fuel source so it decided to fight back instead.
I love this game, but I didn't hear any of the complaints here that I heard back when. People had problems with;
-The lack of playable Locust in the standard multiplayer
-The removal of Horde Mode
-The change in control scheme
-The nickel-&-diming with all the cosmetic DLC
-The focus on aesthetics like Armor & Weapon skins
-The lack of playable characters.
-The small-scale feel compared to Gears of War 3
-Cole not quite looking right (this also goes for Baird a bit)
-And my complain about the characters' personality/dialogue writing feeling a tad off.
I personally Loved this game. It's fast and franetic with that arcadey kinda feel. Constant action and a cool story, althoug Karn had 0 personality and realistically no relevance aside from being the "face" of the opposing Locust force. And I get it; 1 was Raam, 2 was Skorge, and 3 was Mirrah. 4 faltered by only having the Speaker, but like Karn it's better than nothing I guess.
i agree with you i think this guy missed the mark a bit. the whacky colors are not a gears of war thing who the hell wants to run around with a blue skeleton on their back it’s just not gears. the game was okay at best. could’ve been better if there wasn’t all that stupid ass glowy shit, the original gameplay mechanics, and i guess you’d say original gears of war feeling maps, and of course no locust. to me this game felt like it tried to be call of duty. (story aside)
Indeed, it’s one of my least favorites but it definitely left me a soft spot for it.
@@Dres2000 HOW DID YOU FIND ME HERE!?
Judgements overrun mode was the best thing about the game. Kind of unbelievable that they never brought it back. Back in the day it was the only reason I’d ever play a gears multiplayer.
Really loved the campaign and some game modes. And I have to say the game had more inspiration/style, and more love put in the development than Gears 4 and 5. Remember the trailers of Gears 1? and 2? it was amazing that whas it's selling point.
This game explains in great detail why Marcus knows who Baird is in the first game. Everyone knows the guy who disobeyed a direct order and fired a light mass missile on the city they were trying to protect. Granted Lumous was right and the COG did have a reason to save that missile which we see in gears 1 and 2 didn't work. Hell light mass tech never works, like it didn't even kill Karn just softened him up...
Im am so glad that somebody likes Gears Judgment.Come to think of it Gears Tactics feels just like judgment just in turn base form.
El Judgment es la polla con cebolla. 😍👌
I also like judgement
The real war changing aspect that Baird and his squad did on Judgment wasn't using the lightmass missile to destroy Karn but it was saving Marcus back at the Museum, it was almost, for us who already played Gears of War from 1 to 3 and knew the end of the story, a feeling of "John Connor must be protected" from the Terminator franchise without the characters even know it.
20:18 That might be one of my favorite Marcus' moments right there, the sarcasticaly and always angry way he says "well, tell him good luck with that!!" is just so on point that cracks me up everytime I play Judgment's campaign😂😂
This game was intense at times,they seemed to have tweeked the Locust "AI" to be more aggressive and I"ve never had to fight off so many enemies in such a short time before in a Gears game
Yeah, at some point in insane, i was like: WHEN IS THIS SUPPOSED TO END. And i still enjoyed it
@@titanus261I feel like there are some sections where the ai just infinitely spawns until you move forward.
@@absolution6191 nah, i finished in insane, and there are 2 parts where there were so many ennemies you would think that (challenges on), when you're at the door of the academy after passing through the canalisations, and the patt where they were at the 30 day celebration of the end of the pendulums war and when a horde of ragers come at you

Man epic should have never started Fortnite they should have continued in this game
Financially, they made the right move...but yes, would have been great if they stayed with it for the fans
@@dani_i8942 how is it right there fanbase is at least 92% little kids
@@primalpistol money wise. Think
@@primalpistol Fornite is like 5yo now, kids grow up, so they'll be well liked by adult too
@@primalpistol exactly, kids sell well. "who cares who your target audience is if it makes money?" was probably epic games's philosophy. but i agree, fortnite started this stupid ass battle royal era that we're in now*, and the coalition has taken everything we loved about gears and wokenized it. none of it wouldve happened if epic didnt sell gears.
*i am aware that there were other battle royals before fortnite, but to the general public, fortnite made it popular so it takes the blame.
I didn't mind the game campaign it was decent it had some lore breaks lancer and kantus being there 30 days after e-day instead of 1 year for the lancer and 14 years for the kantus makes sense for gameplay but for the deeper lore no sense at all. The pvp really sucked that was everyone's main issue and it shows.
Yeah. Canonically, the Lancer Mark II doesn't exist until about two or three years After Emergence, but Judgement takes place, what, nine months A.E.? I use the Retro Lancer whenever I can because of that.
@@PhoenixT70 the lancer was made a year after e day and judgement takes place one month after e day shown in the trailers for judgement.
@@dmruggabugga6270 Okay, my numbers are off. Thanks for the correction. My point stands, though.
@@PhoenixT70 yeah it sure does and i agree heavily all they needed to do was set the game a year after e day.
@@dmruggabugga6270 I actually would have liked it if they removed the Mark II entirely or presented it as an experimental weapon, and armed you with the Mark I Lancer to start. It would have really put you in the shoes of an early war Gear. The post-Hammer strike war is explored by the novels written by Karen Traviss-if you haven't read them do so, they're amazing-but the war before the Hammer strikes is often neglected entirely. Judgement was a good concept, great story, poor execution.
I only miss the breach-shot from this game, nothing else
Oh yeah.... 🤤🤤🤤
What about the "Mazra"? The Breech shot had to be reloaded for each shot and it had a 4 shot mag plus iron sights
@@ethericboy that one made it to 4 and 5 the breachshot was a bit too overpowered since it could 1 shot
Look what they did to my Markza!
Valid asf
Overrun was life especially the ranked gameplay team work was everything
I'm playing Gears 2 and 3 again (I beat the hell out of the first one, completed the campaign a million time on every version, on 360, PC and Ultimate on Xbone, that's way i'm not playing it again). I want more of the original story (not the garbage of Gears 4 and 5) but now, after this video I'm going to include Judgment, I played the whole campaign just once when It came out and some multiplayer but I didn't like it, I was so hype but I was expecting the same formula of the first one. So thanks! I enjoyed the video and like the title said, I was wrong, I didn't get it at the time!
For me Gears still have the potential to become a big franchise again!
I really liked Judgment because it gave us a real experience with the Gears Military and universe
So many good memories tied to this one... First combat game played with my then 5 year old grandson.. thanks for reminding me of those times
I really enjoyed the campaign. Even from what I can remember I enjoyed the multiplayer. Never understood the hate. Judgement is kinda like Halo Reach, last game made by the publisher, doing a prequel, and experimenting with new and different concepts while going back to the roots of the series. Unfortunately both weren't appreciated in their own time
Hell yeah.
Well yes but no
Going back to the roo... What??
Yeah i digged judgement, just beat it on insane - it's fun but I wasn't a terribly big fan of it's narrative , it's levels and dialogue felt cut short and half of what's said wasn't really all that gripping whereas in gears 1, 2 and 3 you're clinging to each syllable
Just beat it today for the first time, and after playing gears 4 and 5, what a masterpiece judgment is!
yeah after 4 and 5 Ive changed my opinion too.
@@georged5420 sounds similar to halo 4 and 5 then Saints row 4 and 5/reboot
Gears judgement > Gears 5
Campaign was spot on. The challenges were odd, different, but interesting and fun. Only thing I dislike was how they handles controls for changing weapons and grenades.
Paduk is great. One of my favorite characters. Was quite happy to see his return in Gears 5.
I'll say I like grenades on the bumper, but not the weapon switching on Y
16:06 The reaction speed on that onyx guard tho.
Bruhhhhhhhh
Aren’t they basically the Spartans of this universe though?
@@averyangrycrow4936 nah they’re more like the ODSTs
I think too, that they missed a lot holes in this game. How Baird is consider to get an promotion in Gears of War 1 if Coronel Loomis said that Baird is no longer more lietnaunt, its a private and that means a private for ever..
Baird never receives a promotion in gears 1. Marcus is the only one who gets a promotion
@@TheLoudSenyy he bitches about marcus getting a promotion but not him.
Which he stayed a private for the longest time until I guess 4 lol, I remember they still called him private in 3 x.x
Stupendous Video Brother!! I agree with your points, especially Loomis being the antagonist and the player base not understanding the Game itself.
TheGearsProdigy
Thank You Comrade, well you know what they say, "People Hate what they don't Understand".
Yea, I've never thought of Loomis as the MAIN antagonist. He was an antagonist on my list but just in the courtroom. Yet, this is years after I've played the game. But it's not one I would call a bad game. Just a game that I didn't understand in terms of Lore.
The only bad thing about this game was they changed the controls and limited you to 2 guns instead of the normal “2 primary and 1 sidearm”.
The Coalition completely disgraced Paduk in Gears 5. He was a witty and respectable character in Judgement, they made him into just another crazy Russian in Gears 5... absolutely pathetic.
I think judgment also just came out at a weird time, right before the next gen in 2013.. I almost forgot about it
It’s still better than gears 4-5
I remember playing the campaign for Judgement and it was such a great experience, Dark, entertaining, and challenging af, especially if u did all of the declassified objectives. An amazing prequel game and a great Gears game
I’m replaying the game for the first time since it came out and it’s a lot better than I remembered it being.
tbh i really liked judgement, but i never played the multiplayer. i also saw that gears 5 took it's worst ideas (like the b button being execute) from judgement.
Honestly, this game hard a solid story and good PvE, but I'm a multiplayer player. This game played more like call of duty with wall bouncing rather then gears. No locust in multiplayer, you only spawn with one gun and a snub, the melee broke the gun play, the gnashed was inconsistent, this I just some of the things that ruined the game for me.
Kenji
I concur dear viewer, the changing of the controls to an FPS style game was not a wise creative decision. That was too much.
@@OMAHA16 and that right there makes you a much better youtuber then most others. Answering to a comment a year after a video is made, Cheers.
Nah, we just didn’t like judgment because of the change of controls, gameplay(for example: asymmetric maps, humans vs humans) and lack of content (maps, characters) all of that coming from the multiplayer, which is where we spend most of our time, after beating the campaign.
The story wasn’t the best, but it was interesting to know a little bit more about the lore of the gears universe, but it was just that: interesting.
Also I understand (correct me if I’m wrong) that the game was rushed by Microsoft, that’s why Epic collaborated with People can Fly.
Overall, judgment was a pretty interesting game, almost felt as an experiment, but an experiment that didn’t highlight.
Indeed... set original control setup and we good to go..
I lived this game out as long as I possibly could and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Gears of war judgment was a great game. It started off to a horrible start (mutiplayer wise), but sadly, by the time epic fixed all of the issues like lack of maps, two-piece, shitty shotgun, not spawning with both primarys, everyone spawning with grenades that stick to opponents, etc most people had already went back to gow3.
Also, it always bothered me how the gamemode overrun was seemingly forgotten. It was arguably the best edition to gears of war period, and was super fun. Not to mention, the campaign is my favorite of any gears, right next to Gow2. Still to this day my favorite gears game. Gowj is also the gears that brought us FFA to begin with.
I spent years on gears of war judgement's private matches (clan fights)... oh man gowj is definitely the game I most spent hours playing
You know what I do wonder,
With Loomis, his personality, and development after the story, if he saw the hopeleness of defending Halvo Bay to death and pulled out rather than have the humans lose another important leader, how would he have fared?
How would it have changed the time line and trilogy? How much of a role would Hoffman have had as he would not have been the only Colonel? How different would COG decisions and ultimately the war have been? How would he have contributed to the war and trilogy games? How would he and Hoffman have got along? Would Prescott have trusted him more, particularly between 2-3 due to his staunch by-the-book and subordinate attitude?
We'll never know.
But I can imagine in the original game, at 70 years old, walking out of the King Raven after the jailbreak to present the light mass bomb plans to Delta, walking aggressively, with an angry and aggressive, imposing look (Hard to explain) due to how the war was going.
I can guarantee Hoffman would hate him. Allowing Onyx soldiers to die meaninglessly because of his obsession with a botched trial would have made Hoffman despise his guts. I think most of Delta would tell him to fuck off.
GOW 1,2,3 & Judgement will always have a special place in my heart. I just wish Judgement was a little longer! I loved that they included UIR, I think it would be cool to see more content from their perspective.
Eshert0_o
Thoughts very similar dear viewer, "Judgment" was just the tip of the iceberg for so many different worlds to play in for Gears of War going forward.
This game was definitelly a treat.
A prequel done right.
Not really
Yeah plus they improved on the gameplay mechanics where now the sawed off has 2 shots instead of 1 and you can use the Lancer while using a human shield and when you use boomshields which I loved and I'm glad it got into the 4th and 5th game
@@bitchpudding2945 yes really
To be honest I had no problem with the Campaign aside from the fact that the AI on Insanity can get you killed faster than the Locust does.
However at times you can strategically plan around situations where you can use the enemies tactics against them, like on the Declassified mission where a bunch of Ragers with the breachshot try to swarm you,you can plug up on or two of the E-holes and set up the turret with a good line of sight to piss them off to force them to transform and then use the Sawed-Off when they get close and you have the ammo box that refills that on the left side for later.
Good vid, although I think a lot of your comments are subjective. I recently did all the Gears games on the hardest settings and Judgment on Insane with all the modifier things was the hardest for me- absolutely brutal. The controls did feel simplified but it looked gorgeous and hey theres nothing wrong with trying some new stuff in a kind of spinoff game...
"Your boogeyman? He doesn't look so tough." The colonel before being the first to vault over cover.
i played gears of war judgement and i loved it! i wonder if people still play it to this day
I definitely agree that gears judgement didn't deserve the hate and gears of war judgement in my opinion was the best gears game plus it was me and my family first gears of war game that we bought and we didn't know about the other gears games until later on.
SAME I thought this was the best one!!!
No way gears of war 3 was the best gears
Really?
Indeed. Judgement is awesome.
I liked Judgement
Aftermath was cool and explained the UIR SUPPORT thing
And the campaign was *mwah*
Tried playing it again recently and honestly, the only thing that I don't like and stops me playing is the more arcade feel and the control changes. If they had just added a control option setting to bring back the d-pad weapon change I'd probably stand by it more.
I love this game my only complain is the controls
Alejandro Torres
My thoughts the same dear viewer.
I wasn’t a fan of multiplayer and I hated how they got rid of the weapons in exchange for just a side arm and the main gun
This game had so many things I wanted gears to have. The lancer had 60 rounds in a magazine again. You could use any weapon with the boom shield leading to some amazing combos. And I got to learn more about the uir and the early days of the locust war. But the control scheme really dampened the experience for me this game is my 4th favorite gears game but if it controlled like the other games it would be my 2nd favorite behind gears 2.
I think the Gears games shouldn’t have continued the story after 3, but release different kinds of Gears games in different periods of the Locust and maybe Lambent War. If people (including myself) weren’t as critical and syndical and gave the game a more open mind then perhaps the Gears franchise would be much different than it is now. For better or for worse is up to interpretation, but I do believe we wouldn’t have gotten a game like *Gears 5* if we hadn’t discouraged them.
The fact RAAM’s Shadow was a better game than Gears 5 is just sad, a DLC outdid a full feature game. I hope we get another Judgement, it’s better than anything the Coalition has made thats for sure.
I loved Judgement's campaign and story, better than 3's honestly. my only gripe with it was the change in controls with fast grenades and stuff. I loved Loomis he was that sterotypical officer still fighting the last war and a total hard ass, but was a solid military man through and through, one of the greatest officers the COG will ever see
Tarkkus
Similar thoughts dear viewer.
Me after playing 4 and seeing 5
"maybe I was too harsh on you"
Gears of War judgment is a weird game for me because there's a lot of stuff I like it and a lot of stuff I hate in it I'm still say it's the worst gears game in my opinion but there's still a some of stuff I like in it I like overrun I like the campaign but all the other modes where just not fun I really hated that decision of humans vs humans this isn't Halo guys Gears of War but that's just my opinion
honestly judgement is one of my favourite gears games
When my brother got his first pay check, we went to buy an xbox 360 and all the gears of war games. We spend many years playing with an old play station 2 and having the posibility of playing by the time next gen of video games was the best experience we had.
Judgement is to GOW like ODST is to HALO
Thanks for that. I hate it when people hate on Judgement. I love it. My 2nd favorite after the 1st one. The campaign is what I wish all gears campaign were: no talky-talky bullshit, all business. Combat is great and relentless in this game, and I couldn't get enough of it. It's a shame they didn't make a 4K remaster of it when they did it for 2 and 3...
I love almost everything about this game, specially the new weapons, my favorite weapon in all the games is the breechshot, I can't get tired of the sound and feeling
I just starting playing this game and its one of the craziest games ive ever played the amount of locust that you fight is insane and i love it
Loved this game all around it wasn’t perfect but compared to what we have now it was golden
This game has my favorite Hammerburst sound and the best Markza in all of Gears.
You know, in retrospection, i wish Loomis got more character development throughout the series, maybe even him and Baird having a begrudging respect for one another, and maybe Loomis and Paduk having a rivalry.
My only issue with judgement was control scheme
Yeah, the Y button had me confused when I first started the game.
True i hate the fact that they copied the y button from cod
one thing for sure is, gears judgement is gorgeous. Look at those cinematics and the gameplay felt a bit more tighter than gears 3 sometimes which is awesome
Brilliant video my friend, I enjoyed it and some very good points! 👍
i played this many years after release because i thought it was just another average expansion that couldnt compete with gears 1,2,3. after playing it though I will say that this game has the best gameplay out of all the gears games. theres more emphasis on moving around instead of hiding behind cover. the action was so intense the framerate would drop like crazy haha. poor 360. the campaign was great because we got to see the chaos of e-day and watch former enemies team up. highly recommend this game.
I never tried Judgment because of the critiques and the hate it got, but I just beat the campaign and the aftermath, and I can say it's my favorite Gears of war campaign so far. Do give it a try, it is definitely worth it.
While playing Gears 5 because it's free, I would pay a lot of money for a remastered Judgment on PC.
Gears of War Fans: JUDGEMENT SUCKS!!!
Gears of War 4 and Gears 5:
Gears of War Fans: Perhaps we treated Judgement too harshly...
For a game that's timeline that's before gears of war 1, telling history between Baird and Cole, with addition to paduk that they was gonna use in the future, showing lore and even hearing that they rescued Marcus and Dom from a distance, it was fucking amazing :D still want to know what happened to Sophia after getting caught
The gameplay and the struggle with the amount of locust you have to deal with that gave you that "Aw shit.. ._." moment, and the music kept me hyped
Definitely by far my hardest gears of war game (now 5 since they bought back one of the guys who worked on gears, now making these swarm tough tanky reactive basterds x.x)
The multiplayer I wasn't to fond of because I couldn't play as locust, the getting rid of getting down made sense since considering every time you go down your opponent will still shoot you to death, so going down in the other gears games was kinda useless considering your team is usually somewhere else (or if you have my terrible luck, having a team mate right next to you when your down and he decides to keep shooting at the enemy and you and your teammate dies)
gears judgment is really under appreciated i agree. judgment, even if it changed the gameplay, it still brought new openings to innovation and brought more stuff than they had changed.
I always loved Judgement
Since when it came out
Till this day
I really don't understand the hate but I won't judge for I understand that everyone has different opinions
But me personally, I love the game, still do and will continue loving it
Unpopular opinion: they should make a gears of war about rhe penjulum wars
I think nowdays this opinion is more popular than ever)
All i wanted was for them to start the game with Retro Lancers.
Putting campaign aside, because I think the campaign was the best part of the game
The main problem I have with this Gears game is they had so many downgrades that they masked as something beneficial
1. No Locust in multiplayer
When I first heard this I was kinda upset, then I was told from Epic in some video that the main reason for the removal of the Locust from versus was because of there inconsistent hit boxes. After hearing that I was like ok, makes sense we will see how it goes. But after launch it became apparent that it was most likely done out of sheer laziness. If they no longer have to work on Locust characters, why is there only like 10 COG characters in the entire game?Especially compared to previous games which had multiple characters to choose from along with there different versions. Make it make sense
2. No downs
Another apparent upgrade that in reality was a downgrade, idk what they were tryna accomplish with that one, maybe a faster paced experience but all it did was take away those epic moments of saving/being saved at the last second just before getting killed, something that Gears always had from the start. Idk if this is true but I heard that the real reason for the removal of downs was because if it was implemented they would have to spend more development time on it
Which leads me to believe that Gears of War Judgment was just a shameless cash grab, and its why I regard this game as the 1st slap in the face from the devs to the fans, the other slaps would later come from The Coalition. Notice how Epic wasn’t planning on working on any other Gears games after Judgment, it was to be shelved…until Microsoft came in and bought it, only leaving me to think even more that it was just a cash grab
Not all things were bad tho in terms of Multiplayer, I think Overrun was a very good mode that just needed a little tweaking to be even better. Why they abandoned that mode in future games is beyond me.
Can someone tell me what happens if you don’t do the Optional challenges in the campaign? I know it gives you lore with the characters talking when you all get swords, for example, saying they ran out of ammo.
If you don’t do it, does anyone talk at all? Or is it just go from A to B then cutscene?
So I can understand if you paid 60.00 dollars for this game and being mad but if you have all the dlc Maps and Charcters (which you can buy all Dlc charcters on the stor except jungle Tai) it’s pretty fun and cool and I’ve always liked the game especially Aftermath.
Gear kicks ass no matter what these haters can go somewhere
Feel like it could have been a patch or dlc rather than a full price game
i didn't mind Judgement, the fact you played as Baird sold me. What i didn't like was the complete change to the weapon control scheme
Ive been playing through the whole series for the first time on game pass and I really liked judgement. The stars in the missions scratch my completionist itch...
I enjoyed the game when I played it. It stopped as a Xbox gold game I 14 I think and it was enjoyable, especially campaign. I liked the creative changes they made to multiplayer. gears 5 seems to have a some judgement in it's veins
gears judgement is a guilty pleasure of mine. my friend just started a series on it and i still think it looks good in 2022
Crazy how the graphics still hold up. Sure they aren’t pretty by today’s standards but they suit the aesthetic and art style of the game perfectly
Game looks beautiful, More european than earlier Gears ,giving a different view of how civilization on Sera looked like.
Campaign could have had an arcade mode like gow 3 had, it would have been a great addition.
Survival and overrun were interesting new modes.
Versus would have been great for a battle royale Gears style Game, but ppl were too much into GoW3 versus and it just didn't work out.
It was no doubt the fastest Gears.
I didn't like the idea of weird customization, rainbows or fucsia onyx? What the heck..Well, it's worst seeying some dumb emojis in new Gears.
The best of Jugdgement: Paduk.
This could be one of my favorite campaign games
Paduk is one of my favourite characters in fiction because we finally get to see a uir character and he’s actually kind of a bad ass
I liked the multiplayer, and better yet the skin/reward system it made sense
The judgement story is fine. But the stop and go nature is really really annoying and destroys the sense of space that most gears games give you.
Weirdly enough this is fixed in aftermath. Which doesn’t have the weird stoping every 5 minutes.
The games lore is mostly fine. Obviously tho the lancer shouldn’t exist yet.
The game did do some cool stuff with exploring the UIR, however gears tactics and 5 expanded on this heavily later on.
The gameplay changes suck. I’ve mentioned the stop and go to tally your arcade style points, but the 2 gun shift is really dumb. It destroys a key nature of the gears sandbox. It also near instantly made a lot of guns useless. This also changed other things, like the fact you can carry a shield and use a primary weapon now.
It’s like the Halo Reach of Gears
Odst
I never played the multiplayer but honestly overall from what I did play the game was fine. The only things I wish they had changed was the weapon inventory to be like prior Gears games (D-pad, 3 weapons and grenades) and in the campaign got rid of the star scoring system and declassified bits as well as make the transition between some chapters smoother by adding in more and dragging out some of the levels a bit. The actual story of the game was great plus Baird is my favorite character in Gears
