Gears 5 was such a dramatically painful shift in everything compared to the previous games. Gears OF WAR E-day is looking like a tonal return to the series we grew to love, with the cast we grew to love. It's also E-day, which is quite possibly the most requested-for-adaptation moment of history in Gears. They're giving fans what they want. And I'm eating it up like crazy
Agree. Moreover for me G5 has the most shitty music and main menu. Personally I would love to see E Day from Paduk's perspective. For example from the end of pendulum wars by his rebellion in Vasgard and fight against the Karn, to a moment when he joins Kilo squad.
real gears fans was not trying to play as kait diaz. they ruined the gears story with gears 5's ending. we're all happy we dont have to put up w playing that garbage
Hit me like truck, the instant I saw that locust rather then their budget knock off version I was so happy, back to an era I can actually care about with characters that don’t have me slowing dying inside
Been playing since 1 she was a fresh face and feel I can’t say I hate her but I would have liked it more if we played as jd I’m not gonna say I hate her tho I like the idea of her
@@UndisputedNerd Yes, it looks good and that's all. I missed this grim atmosphere of war from the original trilogy. If it wasn't a game from GoW universe - OK. G5 was too colorful for me not to mention annoying kait
@@TrashCanOdor At least she didn't piss you. I hated how selfishly she treated JD in the village and how arrogant she is towards real veterans like Marcus and Paduk. And yes, the story was bad. It was more like trying to show "strong, independent women" (in the worst possible way), than writing a story about upcoming threat
i doubt it. You seen all the forums whenever people brought up complaints on the new gears games? They shittened into caveman era. There are way too many fans of the new gears for whatever reason. When a lot of gears of war youtube channles were bringing this up they too got harassed with constant vitrial until they stopped post anything. Since the new trailer dropped this is probably the first time more than a handful of channels dedicated to gow has covered the series. Regardless, coalition is not abandoning the new gears. So they're gonna get a rude awakening when they return after the hype and fanbase they cultivate realize they're trying to force their ripoff lara croft trash on us again.
If they still intend to continue the post Locust story then it almost feels like there's no point anymore if it's gonna be so long of a wait. Like is there much point in doing it that much later?
I’ve been a huge fan of Gears of war since Gears of War 2. My opinion on this is that not a lot of people really enjoyed Gears 5. Story wise, after Gears 3. They were transitioning. From Marcus son, James, to be the main character. Then changed the MC again but this time to Kait. The reason why Gears 1-3 was better received, is that we actually played through the main characters. There was a storytelling about Marcus and Delta squad. On Gears 4 & 5, there was none of that. It felt rushed, it felt that they were just putting the product out there (like the latest battlefield game), and not really capturing the storytelling of Gears. Gears of war is a dark game. And then to introduce new characters, new enemies, new locations that really doesn’t align or fit will with the gears of war universe. It turned off a lot of fans in the gears community. For them to go back to E-Day, it’s like Halo Reach for the gears community. If you read some of the comics, there is A LOT of story potential and many characters that were forgotten (Like Alicia Valera, Maverick, Tai). We get to see more of that and dive deeper into the story. There’s also the pendulum wars. I would like to see more of Chairman Prescott and Hoffman. Maybe see the beginning of Onyx Guards (and actually make them good this time. Since they are the elite soldiers that defend Prescott). So much more. I believe that they made a very good decision to go back and give a break to Kait story. Give us a more darker and horror version of Gears.
X-Box360 was frikken awesome ack when GOW1 came out. You only needed a few games. If you were a skater, GOW1 kinda came out around same time as Skate. Then GOW2, Skate2. Same w/ 3. The very second I saw GOW2 I paid for it, came back and bought the Metal Box version w/ the necklace and comic. Those that got that when it came out, and spent the time online feel very much same way as you mentioned above. Wished I bought all the IRL guns from it too.. they were dope. I let my son play GOW2 split screen w/ me and he was like 8. We grew a bond from that, though looking back it was sketchy to let an 8yo play that shit. Ahhh just some good memories. He also hates 4 & 5 and tolerated Judgement. Think I might get that necklace cast and done in silver or copper or sumthing. Feel like setting up the xbox again rn, such good memories... ;)
I think most gears fans will tell you that even if they enjoyed gears 4 & 5 story they’d far more rather be back in Marcus’s shoes with Dom & take it back to the start & gears roots
Those who really know Gears of War didn't find it complicated at all, quite the contrary, it was the perfect idea, Dominic and Marcus together again 14 years before the events of Gears 1, Dom and Marcus together, people cried when they saw the scene.
Definitely looking forward to this entry. I didn't have a problem with 4 and 5 but its nice to have iconic characters like Dom back and it's gonna make for an emotional playthrough for sure. I hope this doesn't flop
I'm with you here. I really liked 4 and 5 personally (campaigns not "as" much, but for sure the multiplayers). It feels like it'll have been ages later if they do continue it, but for now I'm going to enjoy the present moment here cuz it's beautiful
That may be the route they go actually because they can’t release a fenix collection until e day since you play as him. Also I don’t know if judgement would be part of it but I hope so I actually really liked judgement
It'd be cool as hell if you had like close-quarters encounters with The Locust in "E-Day" like hand-to-hand combat or maybe cinematic moments like in the "Brothers In Arms" series. I also hope they bring back Collectables, The War Journal, COG Tags with names like in "Judgement" and messages on them in "4", and maybe make Locust Logos collectable. (With names and messages on them, too like in "5")
I’m hyped. The only problem is I never got a Series X. I had 360 and One, but now I have a PS5. So I am going to need to decide if I spend $500 just to play E-Day.
I hate how at the end of 4 and 5 the writers just threw in a random giant creature for us to fight without any explanation as to why other than just to give us something big to fight at the end
anyone who thinks that them making a prequel instead of moving along with gears 5 and continuing the story and gameplay off modern gears needs to rethink things in perspective for the franchise. Gears E-day is the start of what we Xbox fans of Gears want more than anything atm because E-day has the potential to fulfill the old and the new...
yeah we've wanted it for years, I even remember wanting a game on the pendulum wars. That's what made me sad with gears 4 and 5, the gears world has enough to it, it's not just delta squad and the fact that they made it about Marcus son and then Kait, I was disappointed with that decision. Became more like a teen drama, The stories were alright, I think Gears 5 gets more hate than it deserves honestly. We're at least in a better spot than the Halo people haha
I really enjoyed Gears 4 and 5 both amazing games! Also, gears E day is bringing what we wanted back to gears! The tone, etc. Hoping gears 6 you’ll play as Marcus and JD father and son.
Honestly, I would have preferred this over Gears 6 anyway. I don't know, but I'm attached more to the original cast...New characters in the new trilogy (or other future titles), I haven't been too attached to. With Gears E-day its pretty evident that this is a prequel as per the origin of the lancer, Marcus and Dom's relationship, maybe how Marcus wound up in jail (in the beginning of Gears 1), and getting more lore and explanation of how everything happened. This automatically hooked me and I can't wait to see what becomes of it!
More fun facts. I guess Marcus gets arrested and Maria's abduction both happen a few months or years later. So we shall see if they take some liberties. I'm stoked to see it all
I think they will try and go more horror with Gears 6 when that comes out. I think in some ways it’s what happens with the RE franchise where these guys for the most part know what they’re up against. I mean they can still make it darker in tone yes but these guys aren’t gonna be afraid of creature that they have experience with.
What annoys me is why is it "We want to pursue Kait's story", instead of JD. Marcus' fucking kid! How tf did he just be some side character no ones gives a fuck about?? He's 10 times more interesting than some random no names like Kait or Del. Such a wasted opportunity for some worthless PC points 💀
@@SamuraiKibiji Exactly lol. Also think a big part is this team doesn't know how to write good side characters we should care about like the OG Team. How do they expect us to emotionally get behind characters who just disrespect everyone and treat everything as a joke? While, for example, the OG games. We had Carmine! Went from a gag character to a staple of what Gears is. If the next game we played as a Carmine, I would put money down people would be hyped lmao.
rip Dom, his brother is gonna die during the pendulum wars, his kids are gonna get brutally murdered, his wife will be kidnaped, if they pull this right this game is just gonna give us depression
I liked 4 and 5, just had a very different vibe to me. I wouldn't have minded G6 instead of this, but I admit this outcome purely for campaign reasons I'm very stoked. Multiplayer wise however I really liked the tech and ideas of where G5 was going.
@SamuraiKibiji same page here, but I prefer this new direction if is done well it can be awesome, I hope that they don't remastered the first trilogy and release E-Da first and make another trilogy and 10-12 years from now remake the OG trilogy
Gears 6 is currently in development along side E-day. There's already been leaks showing JD as the surviving character through production. That being said. So happy to see E-day is coming first. Ive wanted that game since the trilogy ended
The reason they need to do a prequel is because Marcus fenix and his guys is gears of war. This passing the torch stuff hasn't worked, doesn't work and will never work with somthing so character driven where the characters are 90% of what the franchise is. This is especially true when the characters they replace them with are about as interesting as a dead fish and share none of the qualities or attributes that appealed to the original fans. No fan of Gears likes or asked for a new cast and the reality is with somthing like gears of war, if it's time for the character to hang its hat, it's time to say good night to the franchise with dignity. Either that or replace them with old WWE favourites for the memes. Hulk Hogan as a COG could maybe save the franchise.
Thank you for the s/o! Awesome video with great talking points. The concept of "brotherhood, brutality, and horror" was something that I didn't even realize until this video. It reminds me of when Cliffy B talked about the first GoW and its "beautiful disasters" and how there is an admiration to chaos in destruction. Big fan of the channel. Keep up the great work 👍🏻
I "think" Marcus got his scar while he was in prison which is much later from D Day. But the lancer we know we'll be getting the origins of in some form in this per the Xbox Wire
You should read the books This is exactly what true gears want and it was kai cutting up a locust with a hacksaw which made marcus give the idea a chainsaw lancers to his dad
I love the idea of Gears of War E-DAY but one thing I wanna see is how the civilians will react with the COG using the hammer of dawn on them. I also wanna see how the UIR was actually affected instead of being told threw character dialogue
because people are not taking to the new Gears triology and I think that;s easy to understand given MS's push in inclusive territory. I'd rather they give us a new triology that feels more in keeping with how it used to be. Female characters are always great in games but there was a very clear push from 4 and 5 and fans spotted it and didn't appreciate it. 4 and 5 though are definitely great playing games though so I look forward to this new triology
It is true that this game will easily become the most approachable of the whole franchise maybe with how little you have to know going into it compared to the rest. That makes it a very approachable one story wise.
Yeah,no one cares about gears 5. Gears 6 story can fade into obscurity. It'll come out after half life gets it's sequel. Give us more Marcus,Dom and the o g locusts. Hell we can even get more RAAM !!!
Gears 5 was hot garbage. If they actually plan on continuing that story, then theyre going to have make a serious change to the whole thing because Kate is such a bad character
I hope when we get to the real gears 6 game we take a step away from the Kait Diaz story for the most part and get to see what the other characters are gonna be like, especially since we had to choose between JD And Del to live. That was cool in all but we don't know if they will have us choose between playing as either characters in gears 6. But all together Eday sounds great, that'll be a good insight on the start of things and give us a break from the gears 5 story
That choice in Gears 5 was something I really hoped to see how the hell they would execute on, but I'm ok getting this for now....Do you think there's much point in doing Gears 6 SOOOOOOOO many years later tho? I feel like folks wouldn't care by then.
@SamuraiKibiji I think there is a point. They gotta be close to ending the franchise all together so a prequel and strong ending game would probably give fans something to remember. It may be a long time since we had a new game, but at least Eday might give us a whole new look at gears and build some tension for an actual gears 6
I'm not trying to shoot with no lame azz retro Lancer, also screw Dom. Should have made Gears 6, lessen Kait's role a bit , hunt down the Queen and finish the story. Kait is cool btw. Haters can kick rocks.
Knowing how is the state of the industry, I'm really fearful on how the game is going to be; besides TC is almost the same as 343 in how they treat the franchises they have
Good video mate! Great thumbnail and outro too ;) The auto-transition doesn't bring you to the promoted live video, but another video, might be a bit confusing.
@@SamuraiKibiji The linked video in the outro is correct yes, I was talking about auto-play, it brought me to another of your videos. But you can't decide which video it goes to, it could be a totally different youtuber or topic depending on the person. My bad, I didn't explain properly.
I hope they make the multiplayer like gears 1. Have pre game lobbies where u can switch sides in between rounds. I would just have dedicated servers instead of hosts and I wouldn’t break up the players every game
I'm glad you brought up the multiplayer cuz that is an important part of Gears and that might be a totally different element since we won't be in the future with the new weapons and stuff...I wonder how they'll structure it all or if it'll feel different.
Quite a few things to comment on: (should note that there will be a lot of mentioning of Halo similarities/parallels, especially since ive never played a Gears game but know enough to respect the franchise lol) - This seems to be a situation like Halo/Bungie did, where the prequel/spin-off (Reach) is as important as any of the other mainline entry to the series (1, 2, 3). That being said, also like the Halo series, this will not be the final game in the series and this game will just be known as Gears E-Day while the next Gears is known as...well... Gears 6 (unlike Black Ops Cold War being quietly known as Black Ops 5). - You are probably right that E-Day is probably the most significant event/time in the Gears universe (somewhat similar to the events of Reach in the Halo universe). Whether it's just as good, better or worse than Halo Reach, who really knows. - It's interesting that you bring up the loss of certain employees at The Coalition; but I'm still confident they can deliver a good Gears game cuz unlike Bungie who left Microsoft to be "independent" (bought out shortly after by Activision) and replaced with 343, The Coalition has enough, i believe, of the original staff to make a Gears game that is faithful to the series, along with better newer staff than 343's newer talent. - Based on the historical reception and fandom of Gears of War, at some point in the franchise (Gears 3?) the quality started to drop off. I even read some comments on this very video that say things like "I prefer this over Gears 6", "Gears 4-5 didn't do much", and "nobody wanted Gears 6...Kait is garbage, del is meh and JD got sidelined for pandering"; personally, a lot of my online xbox friends would play and hype up gears from like 2009-2014; after that point in time, especially nowadays, not only do they not talk about or play the new Gears, almost nobody on my friends list i see are playing a newer Gears game. All that said, as someone who's never played Gears nor really had any huge interest in playing the game, E-Day is looking to be the first Gears game that I play (maybe even Gears 1-3 to prep myself for it). There is a game release timeline i wanna mention before this final point so here: (according to vgchartz) - Gears 1 = 2006; 6+ million copies sold; Top 25 best-selling 360 game - Halo 3 = 2007; 12+ million copies sold; Top 7 best-selling 360 game - Gears 2 = 2008; 6+ million copies sold; Top 25... - H3: ODST = 2009; 6+ million copies sold; Top 30... - H: Reach = 2010; 9+ million copies sold; Top 10... - Gears 3 = 2011; 6+ million copies sold; Top 25... - Halo 4 = 2012; 9+ million copies sold; Top 11... - Gears Judgment = 2013; 1+ million copies sold; Top 150... It can be said that Gears of War was THE Must-Play Xbox Game while Halo was being worked on. We see this with Halo 3 and Reach, and even Halo 4; and this is why i respect Gears, because just like other xbox game series like MechAssault and Crimson Skies on the original Xbox, Mass Effect and Deadrising on the 360, or Fable and Ninja Gaiden for both generations, it kept players well fed while Halo was being made. But, with Microsoft/Xbox being more ecosystem-oriented, i don't think this part matters all that much for the future (cuz "exclusives bad/anti-consumer" and all that) However, it does matter when talking about the history of Xbox and how it got as far as it did, even today. That's why i think that Gears of War got me so emotional, this prequel game specifically, as well as others, because Xbox is in a steep decline with no Halo to bail them out this time; Xbox today is FAR from the powerhouse and KING of gaming that it was with the 360, and E-Day looks to be the "savior" of the brand (regardless if its exclusive or not). You add in the fact that they used a subtle piano cover of Mad World and its ez emotions being felt. Not saying E-Day (or any game or combinations of games) can take Xbox to the top once again; but E-Day along with some key supporting games from certain franchises can definitely stop them from the spiraling downfall that the brand is currently going through This showcase was too fk'n legendary, and its been more than 3 days later!!
They messed up by killing off James Dominic Fenix And Del ? Because that was too early in the first place Things have not gotten that worse yet and they made a mistake by doing that and that's why they postpone gears of War 6 because of that and it got a lot of negative feedback because of that and why Because they figured JD And Del Was Supposed To Be like Marcus and Dominic all over again and had the potential of it but they ruined it in gears 5
You mean a RTS? Yeah that could be a thing, but Gears has always been very squad based which is why I can see they did a tactics game instead. Who knows tho.
You can burn the gears 4 and 5 story for all I care. I LOVED delta squad. The new group is bland. JD has all the character depth of Fred from old school scooby doo, Del is just failing at trying to be Dom, and Kait is mind numbingly uninteresting. The ONLY reason I played either game was for old Marcus. Forget that storyline COMPLETELY and let's get a prequel trilogy.
Sorry not sorry but Kait is hella annoying and arrogant, rude asf for no damn reason I honestly hope they scrap her story or at least revamp it in a way dat makes sense after E day
I was expecting gears 6 got something better and sobbed over it seeing dom broke my heart knowing what he went through is gonna add more depression and sadness on replaying gears 2 and gears 3 if they make the collection remaster all fucking hell will break loose as in the flood gates will open
Gears 5 wasn’t a very good game, so it makes sense to galvanize the fan base and get them rehyped. The new trilogy’s characters and the overall premise is pretty poorly implemented. Gears 5 was better than 4, but I honestly couldn’t care less about Kait. And my god is Del an annoying character. The OG characters are the GOATs. I’m still interested in finishing the Gears story with a Gears of War 6, but they need to reestablish the tone and focus of the IP before doing that. Hopefully they go with the “sad Marcus” ending of Gears 5 and then finish off the storyline playing as him as he wrestles with his demons and finishes off the swarm.
I hate the the newer gears characters. I find them very bland. The original characters like Marcus, Dom, Baired and Cole are much better. I feel like I want more story from Anya as well.
The only way I'll give Gears 6 a chance, is if Marcus or JD are the protagonists. Gears 5 sucked. They threw JD under the bus and ran with Mary Poppins Kait. lol
Because everyone hates the new “Gears” games So they went back to what everyone loves and went from “Gears” back to “Gears of war!” With all the characters we love from our childhoods with the most significant event in the gears of war universe!
Made nothing complicated, nobody wanted gears 6 plain and simple. Kait is a shit character, del is whatever and JD should have been the main focus but got sidelined for the sake of pandering.
Fr I would’ve been happy with a remaster of 2 and 3 but e day is a nice surprise and I’m really looking forward to it, I just hope they don’t mess it up.
Gears 4 and 5 sucked ass and the characters were all one note, getting killed off for shock or being dumbed down to let the one note characters shine. Im so glad were getting e-day and returning to what Gears of War really is
BRO. . . WHHHHY is that even a question you chose to prompt in the beginning as if we weren’t all already aware that Gears 4 and 5 are dog $hit👀. Like are you kidding or is this just some type of setup concept for your video. Seems to me you’re sympathizing with 4, 5 and the unreleased 6, which are all trash and botched narrative story telling, with the mechanics in those games ALSO being LITERAL dog $hit in equivalency. Get lost with that rhetoric bro. No one wants Gears 6.
Bro, the obvious and in your face answer of why they are making Gears of War E-Day instead of Gears 6 is because the majority of the Gears fans/community did not like the story, characters, tone and gameplay of Gears 5. Not to also mention all the bs micro transactions that were shoved into the multiplayer and how broken the game was at release and how it is still broken to this day. If you were an actually Gears fan you would know all of this instead of trying to ignore and dance around the obvious issues that true fans had with Gears 5. Going back to the OG characters and back during the events of the Locust-Human war is what so many of us have wanted for years now. Again, it’s not that hard to see why they are going in this direction.
Gears 4 I bought but gears 5 on game psss gears e day gonna support it buy the most expensive because I support original story gears 6 sequel to gears 5 will be game pass again not paying full price for gears 5 or 6 gears 4 was OK could of been darker but hey gears 5 could of been better and I hope gears 6 sequel to it needs to be dark again
Nobody cares if it feels like gears 6 bc that story wasn’t what gears truly is. I think if gears E-Day does well they should drop gears 6 completely and reboot after that. As long as they keep the gritty war feeling instead of the woke direction of the new games
because they know continuing after that garbage is way too hard. So now they have chosen to wildly run to the past as hard as they can. We'll probably get a saga out of this new game.
Playing as her yeah I don't care to do that again, but that storyline I think it feels weird to leave unfinished for as long as it will have been. Almost like it just never will be addressed which I can see many feeling weird about big picture wise.
Gears of war 1,2,3 judgment and tactics are my favs. Gears 4 left me like what? Just felt too different in a boring bad way. Didnt even know i was fighting the (wack) last boss then it was over, yup the credits started rolling. Pure garbage. And gears 5 was so bad i did even feel like finishing it. Thats sad because im definitely a fan. That "gears" mess gotta go!!! We want Gears of "War"!!!! Cant wait for this one.
To be honest, I hate that they’re doing this now. Feels like they’re catering to the people who have been bitching “I don’t wanna play as a woman in Gears!” for the last 7 years. This pushes Kait’s story back another 7-10 years. Or cancelled completely.
I don’t want to play as jd either, I don’t like any of the characters from the new ones, gender is irrelevant in contrast to everything just being mediocre, the swarm and db’s are boring compared to the locust and frankly everyone could die and I wouldn’t bat an eye, hell the only insensitive I had to choose who to kill at the end of five was “man, if I kill Marcus’s kid that’ll make him sad I’m not doing that, ima just kill uh… whatever this guys name was”
Are people serious here? Who cares about the story and the cast? Gears of war was all about multiplayer, 1,2 and 3 were great to play…since then its been aimed at children.
@@megadeth8592 Totally seems your right, tbh i just never understood it, for me it was always about the multi player battles and early maps with the original darker graphics.
I really enjoyed Gears 4 and 5 both amazing games! Also, gears E day is bringing what we wanted back to gears! The tone, etc. Hoping gears 6 you’ll play as Marcus and JD father and son.
@@SamuraiKibiji to me Gears 4 and 5 are amazing! You have Gears 4, the aftermath of the Great War. Told years later through the eyes of JD in a span of a day! Personal story! How badass is that? Then Gears 5 takes it up to the next level! Gears 5 is a summer blockbuster!
Gears 5 was such a dramatically painful shift in everything compared to the previous games.
Gears OF WAR E-day is looking like a tonal return to the series we grew to love, with the cast we grew to love.
It's also E-day, which is quite possibly the most requested-for-adaptation moment of history in Gears. They're giving fans what they want. And I'm eating it up like crazy
Agree. Moreover for me G5 has the most shitty music and main menu. Personally I would love to see E Day from Paduk's perspective. For example from the end of pendulum wars by his rebellion in Vasgard and fight against the Karn, to a moment when he joins Kilo squad.
Only thing even on the same level as this is Gear Aspo fields or like a Pendulum war gears but this is the number 1 request
I just dont care about Kate. The original crew just hits on a different level. I hope this new game is extremely dark and brutal.
true gears of war fans, would remember the name of the planet..
Yeah true that
real gears fans was not trying to play as kait diaz. they ruined the gears story with gears 5's ending. we're all happy we dont have to put up w playing that garbage
Hopefully, they make a trilogy out of the E-Day era and remake the OG trilogy before ever thinking of making Gears 6 😂
Hit me like truck, the instant I saw that locust rather then their budget knock off version I was so happy, back to an era I can actually care about with characters that don’t have me slowing dying inside
Amen!
Been playing since 1 she was a fresh face and feel I can’t say I hate her but I would have liked it more if we played as jd I’m not gonna say I hate her tho I like the idea of her
Lol REAL Gears fans appreciate the story
Definitely the right move to make this game and not 6. Never really bought into the story in 4 and 5.
In comparison to GoW trilogy, 5 looks like Fortnite
@piotrpelc5214 I've always thought 5 was a good looking game. I just didn't like the story.
@@UndisputedNerd Yes, it looks good and that's all. I missed this grim atmosphere of war from the original trilogy. If it wasn't a game from GoW universe - OK. G5 was too colorful for me not to mention annoying kait
@@piotrpelc5214Kait wasn’t annoying. The story in general was just bad and did most of the characters dirty.
@@TrashCanOdor At least she didn't piss you. I hated how selfishly she treated JD in the village and how arrogant she is towards real veterans like Marcus and Paduk. And yes, the story was bad. It was more like trying to show "strong, independent women" (in the worst possible way), than writing a story about upcoming threat
Bro they should straight up retcon 4 and 5. Give us a new prequel trilogy and I think 90% of us gear heads would be happy.
I think this will be a trilogy. Especially by the reaction this trailer got. Let's just hope they deliver.
Just like what Star Wars did, we would eat that shit right up. Lol
i doubt it. You seen all the forums whenever people brought up complaints on the new gears games? They shittened into caveman era. There are way too many fans of the new gears for whatever reason. When a lot of gears of war youtube channles were bringing this up they too got harassed with constant vitrial until they stopped post anything. Since the new trailer dropped this is probably the first time more than a handful of channels dedicated to gow has covered the series.
Regardless, coalition is not abandoning the new gears. So they're gonna get a rude awakening when they return after the hype and fanbase they cultivate realize they're trying to force their ripoff lara croft trash on us again.
@@gpheonix1 well, they are doing a prequel instead of 6 which is substantial in itself.
If they still intend to continue the post Locust story then it almost feels like there's no point anymore if it's gonna be so long of a wait. Like is there much point in doing it that much later?
I’ve been a huge fan of Gears of war since Gears of War 2.
My opinion on this is that not a lot of people really enjoyed Gears 5.
Story wise, after Gears 3. They were transitioning. From Marcus son, James, to be the main character. Then changed the MC again but this time to Kait.
The reason why Gears 1-3 was better received, is that we actually played through the main characters. There was a storytelling about Marcus and Delta squad.
On Gears 4 & 5, there was none of that. It felt rushed, it felt that they were just putting the product out there (like the latest battlefield game), and not really capturing the storytelling of Gears.
Gears of war is a dark game. And then to introduce new characters, new enemies, new locations that really doesn’t align or fit will with the gears of war universe. It turned off a lot of fans in the gears community.
For them to go back to E-Day, it’s like Halo Reach for the gears community. If you read some of the comics, there is A LOT of story potential and many characters that were forgotten (Like Alicia Valera, Maverick, Tai). We get to see more of that and dive deeper into the story.
There’s also the pendulum wars. I would like to see more of Chairman Prescott and Hoffman. Maybe see the beginning of Onyx Guards (and actually make them good this time. Since they are the elite soldiers that defend Prescott).
So much more. I believe that they made a very good decision to go back and give a break to Kait story. Give us a more darker and horror version of Gears.
X-Box360 was frikken awesome ack when GOW1 came out. You only needed a few games. If you were a skater, GOW1 kinda came out around same time as Skate. Then GOW2, Skate2. Same w/ 3. The very second I saw GOW2 I paid for it, came back and bought the Metal Box version w/ the necklace and comic. Those that got that when it came out, and spent the time online feel very much same way as you mentioned above. Wished I bought all the IRL guns from it too.. they were dope. I let my son play GOW2 split screen w/ me and he was like 8. We grew a bond from that, though looking back it was sketchy to let an 8yo play that shit. Ahhh just some good memories. He also hates 4 & 5 and tolerated Judgement. Think I might get that necklace cast and done in silver or copper or sumthing. Feel like setting up the xbox again rn, such good memories... ;)
Nobody cares about gears 4, 5, or 6. GEARS OF WAR E DAY HAS GOTTEN EVERYONE HYPED. I will be 55 or 56 when it drops, and I'm HYPED & EMOTIONAL😂❤😂❤
I think most gears fans will tell you that even if they enjoyed gears 4 & 5 story they’d far more rather be back in Marcus’s shoes with Dom & take it back to the start & gears roots
I can’t believe 25 billion people die during the whole war when I look it up
25% of humanity got obliterated in the first day bruh
@@itzgallica4326 billions
By the time of Gears 3, the human population was in the thousands.
Crazy to think that Sera had that population!
One planet, has 20+ Billion people!
@@zcole774 Yeah if the locust were on Earth, we’d be wiped out.
This is like Gears of war's Halo Reach. I love it!
Spot on yes. That's a perfect comparison.
Those who really know Gears of War didn't find it complicated at all, quite the contrary, it was the perfect idea, Dominic and Marcus together again 14 years before the events of Gears 1, Dom and Marcus together, people cried when they saw the scene.
I'm glad to see them return to their roots
Super same Rowan
Definitely looking forward to this entry. I didn't have a problem with 4 and 5 but its nice to have iconic characters like Dom back and it's gonna make for an emotional playthrough for sure. I hope this doesn't flop
I'm with you here. I really liked 4 and 5 personally (campaigns not "as" much, but for sure the multiplayers). It feels like it'll have been ages later if they do continue it, but for now I'm going to enjoy the present moment here cuz it's beautiful
a remastered trilogy bundled with E day would be absolutely bonkers
AGREEE, MICROSOFT SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY. I WOULD PAY $400,00 FOR THE BUNDLE & IF IT INCLUDES JUDGMENT WITH TRADITIONAL CONTROL.
@@daviescott1406 with all the dlc maps and skins too
Dang....so many stories to tell during that period!
That may be the route they go actually because they can’t release a fenix collection until e day since you play as him. Also I don’t know if judgement would be part of it but I hope so I actually really liked judgement
It'd be cool as hell if you had like close-quarters encounters with The Locust in "E-Day" like hand-to-hand combat or maybe cinematic moments like in the "Brothers In Arms" series. I also hope they bring back Collectables, The War Journal, COG Tags with names like in "Judgement" and messages on them in "4", and maybe make Locust Logos collectable. (With names and messages on them, too like in "5")
Bro more gears 1 is way better then more fortnite
Um.....yes?
😂😂😂@@SamuraiKibiji
Couldn’t have said it better.
I’m hyped. The only problem is I never got a Series X. I had 360 and One, but now I have a PS5. So I am going to need to decide if I spend $500 just to play E-Day.
I hate how at the end of 4 and 5 the writers just threw in a random giant creature for us to fight without any explanation as to why other than just to give us something big to fight at the end
anyone who thinks that them making a prequel instead of moving along with gears 5 and continuing the story and gameplay off modern gears needs to rethink things in perspective for the franchise. Gears E-day is the start of what we Xbox fans of Gears want more than anything atm because E-day has the potential to fulfill the old and the new...
yeah we've wanted it for years, I even remember wanting a game on the pendulum wars. That's what made me sad with gears 4 and 5, the gears world has enough to it, it's not just delta squad and the fact that they made it about Marcus son and then Kait, I was disappointed with that decision. Became more like a teen drama,
The stories were alright, I think Gears 5 gets more hate than it deserves honestly. We're at least in a better spot than the Halo people haha
I really enjoyed Gears 4 and 5 both amazing games! Also, gears E day is bringing what we wanted back to gears! The tone, etc.
Hoping gears 6 you’ll play as Marcus and JD father and son.
Honestly, I would have preferred this over Gears 6 anyway. I don't know, but I'm attached more to the original cast...New characters in the new trilogy (or other future titles), I haven't been too attached to. With Gears E-day its pretty evident that this is a prequel as per the origin of the lancer, Marcus and Dom's relationship, maybe how Marcus wound up in jail (in the beginning of Gears 1), and getting more lore and explanation of how everything happened. This automatically hooked me and I can't wait to see what becomes of it!
More fun facts. I guess Marcus gets arrested and Maria's abduction both happen a few months or years later. So we shall see if they take some liberties. I'm stoked to see it all
They can do a lot with this. They can bring back raam’s shadow dlc I also hope we see sraak vs raam as well
I think they will try and go more horror with Gears 6 when that comes out. I think in some ways it’s what happens with the RE franchise where these guys for the most part know what they’re up against. I mean they can still make it darker in tone yes but these guys aren’t gonna be afraid of creature that they have experience with.
But will it be far too late by then? Having a sequel to a story line over maybe 8 years later?
What annoys me is why is it "We want to pursue Kait's story", instead of JD. Marcus' fucking kid! How tf did he just be some side character no ones gives a fuck about?? He's 10 times more interesting than some random no names like Kait or Del. Such a wasted opportunity for some worthless PC points 💀
It is really weird how they did that...She was a side character and then all the sudden became the main? idk
@@SamuraiKibiji Exactly lol.
Also think a big part is this team doesn't know how to write good side characters we should care about like the OG Team. How do they expect us to emotionally get behind characters who just disrespect everyone and treat everything as a joke? While, for example, the OG games. We had Carmine! Went from a gag character to a staple of what Gears is. If the next game we played as a Carmine, I would put money down people would be hyped lmao.
rip Dom, his brother is gonna die during the pendulum wars, his kids are gonna get brutally murdered, his wife will be kidnaped, if they pull this right this game is just gonna give us depression
Plus make the trilogy games more depressing maria and doms death is gonna be more depressing now
Gears of war if my favorite game of all time and gears 4-6 didn't do much.
4, 5 you mean
I liked 4 and 5, just had a very different vibe to me. I wouldn't have minded G6 instead of this, but I admit this outcome purely for campaign reasons I'm very stoked. Multiplayer wise however I really liked the tech and ideas of where G5 was going.
@SamuraiKibiji same page here, but I prefer this new direction if is done well it can be awesome, I hope that they don't remastered the first trilogy and release E-Da first and make another trilogy and 10-12 years from now remake the OG trilogy
The 1st 3 were amazing to play, the banter whilst waiting to start. Creepy and dark and simple. Less is more.
Gears 6 is currently in development along side E-day. There's already been leaks showing JD as the surviving character through production. That being said. So happy to see E-day is coming first. Ive wanted that game since the trilogy ended
The reason they need to do a prequel is because Marcus fenix and his guys is gears of war. This passing the torch stuff hasn't worked, doesn't work and will never work with somthing so character driven where the characters are 90% of what the franchise is. This is especially true when the characters they replace them with are about as interesting as a dead fish and share none of the qualities or attributes that appealed to the original fans. No fan of Gears likes or asked for a new cast and the reality is with somthing like gears of war, if it's time for the character to hang its hat, it's time to say good night to the franchise with dignity. Either that or replace them with old WWE favourites for the memes. Hulk Hogan as a COG could maybe save the franchise.
They really need to get Kevin Riepl back to score the game. The music from the original is far superior.
YESSSSS
Thank you for the s/o! Awesome video with great talking points. The concept of "brotherhood, brutality, and horror" was something that I didn't even realize until this video. It reminds me of when Cliffy B talked about the first GoW and its "beautiful disasters" and how there is an admiration to chaos in destruction. Big fan of the channel. Keep up the great work 👍🏻
Thank you so much juan
I wanna see how the lancer mk2 will be developed and how Marcus got the scar.
I "think" Marcus got his scar while he was in prison which is much later from D Day. But the lancer we know we'll be getting the origins of in some form in this per the Xbox Wire
You should read the books
This is exactly what true gears want and it was kai cutting up a locust with a hacksaw which made marcus give the idea a chainsaw lancers to his dad
I love the idea of Gears of War E-DAY but one thing I wanna see is how the civilians will react with the COG using the hammer of dawn on them. I also wanna see how the UIR was actually affected instead of being told threw character dialogue
Did the Hammer of Dawn exist at this time though? I thought it was developed many years later.
Doms back .. yes. Marcus doesn't have his scar here , does that happen in this game
From what I hear he actually gets his scar during his years in prison which this game won't cover.
@@SamuraiKibijido we know for sure they won’t go into his time at the Slab? It would be an epic chapter!
I am not complaining
because people are not taking to the new Gears triology and I think that;s easy to understand given MS's push in inclusive territory. I'd rather they give us a new triology that feels more in keeping with how it used to be. Female characters are always great in games but there was a very clear push from 4 and 5 and fans spotted it and didn't appreciate it. 4 and 5 though are definitely great playing games though so I look forward to this new triology
It is true that this game will easily become the most approachable of the whole franchise maybe with how little you have to know going into it compared to the rest. That makes it a very approachable one story wise.
Yeah,no one cares about gears 5. Gears 6 story can fade into obscurity. It'll come out after half life gets it's sequel.
Give us more Marcus,Dom and the o g locusts. Hell we can even get more RAAM !!!
It's a spin of franchise gears 4 gears 5 gears 6 vs gears Eday will be the original 4 games thar were brutal horror stories
No they should of done this a long time ago
Gears 5 was hot garbage. If they actually plan on continuing that story, then theyre going to have make a serious change to the whole thing because Kate is such a bad character
That's why they took a break from G5. Not only to make gears as it should be but also to make us forget about dumbass kait
I predict that we will see skyscrapers full of people being sunk under the subsoil.
I hope when we get to the real gears 6 game we take a step away from the Kait Diaz story for the most part and get to see what the other characters are gonna be like, especially since we had to choose between JD And Del to live. That was cool in all but we don't know if they will have us choose between playing as either characters in gears 6. But all together Eday sounds great, that'll be a good insight on the start of things and give us a break from the gears 5 story
That choice in Gears 5 was something I really hoped to see how the hell they would execute on, but I'm ok getting this for now....Do you think there's much point in doing Gears 6 SOOOOOOOO many years later tho? I feel like folks wouldn't care by then.
@SamuraiKibiji I think there is a point. They gotta be close to ending the franchise all together so a prequel and strong ending game would probably give fans something to remember. It may be a long time since we had a new game, but at least Eday might give us a whole new look at gears and build some tension for an actual gears 6
I'm not trying to shoot with no lame azz retro Lancer, also screw Dom. Should have made Gears 6, lessen Kait's role a bit , hunt down the Queen and finish the story. Kait is cool btw. Haters can kick rocks.
Knowing how is the state of the industry, I'm really fearful on how the game is going to be; besides TC is almost the same as 343 in how they treat the franchises they have
It'll be really curious to see to. A lot of the higher ups Coalition once had are now gone so we'll see if that works out for better or worse.
@@SamuraiKibiji hopefully for the better, gears was the reason I choose xbox over Playstation for my first gaming console
Can't wait to see if we get Urban fighting would love to do some street by street block by block combat in a new gears setting
Good video mate! Great thumbnail and outro too ;) The auto-transition doesn't bring you to the promoted live video, but another video, might be a bit confusing.
Weird. Just tested with 2 different accounts and they all take to the correct live video
@@SamuraiKibiji The linked video in the outro is correct yes, I was talking about auto-play, it brought me to another of your videos. But you can't decide which video it goes to, it could be a totally different youtuber or topic depending on the person. My bad, I didn't explain properly.
I wonder if they’ll make it a 3 game series, 14 years prior to gears 1 is a very long period.
It's gonna be weird I think for the voice actors cuz they have aged a LOT and I wonder how they'll sound.
I hope they make the multiplayer like gears 1. Have pre game lobbies where u can switch sides in between rounds. I would just have dedicated servers instead of hosts and I wouldn’t break up the players every game
I'm glad you brought up the multiplayer cuz that is an important part of Gears and that might be a totally different element since we won't be in the future with the new weapons and stuff...I wonder how they'll structure it all or if it'll feel different.
Quite a few things to comment on: (should note that there will be a lot of mentioning of Halo similarities/parallels, especially since ive never played a Gears game but know enough to respect the franchise lol)
- This seems to be a situation like Halo/Bungie did, where the prequel/spin-off (Reach) is as important as any of the other mainline entry to the series (1, 2, 3). That being said, also like the Halo series, this will not be the final game in the series and this game will just be known as Gears E-Day while the next Gears is known as...well... Gears 6 (unlike Black Ops Cold War being quietly known as Black Ops 5).
- You are probably right that E-Day is probably the most significant event/time in the Gears universe (somewhat similar to the events of Reach in the Halo universe). Whether it's just as good, better or worse than Halo Reach, who really knows.
- It's interesting that you bring up the loss of certain employees at The Coalition; but I'm still confident they can deliver a good Gears game cuz unlike Bungie who left Microsoft to be "independent" (bought out shortly after by Activision) and replaced with 343, The Coalition has enough, i believe, of the original staff to make a Gears game that is faithful to the series, along with better newer staff than 343's newer talent.
- Based on the historical reception and fandom of Gears of War, at some point in the franchise (Gears 3?) the quality started to drop off. I even read some comments on this very video that say things like "I prefer this over Gears 6", "Gears 4-5 didn't do much", and "nobody wanted Gears 6...Kait is garbage, del is meh and JD got sidelined for pandering"; personally, a lot of my online xbox friends would play and hype up gears from like 2009-2014; after that point in time, especially nowadays, not only do they not talk about or play the new Gears, almost nobody on my friends list i see are playing a newer Gears game.
All that said, as someone who's never played Gears nor really had any huge interest in playing the game, E-Day is looking to be the first Gears game that I play (maybe even Gears 1-3 to prep myself for it). There is a game release timeline i wanna mention before this final point so here: (according to vgchartz)
- Gears 1 = 2006; 6+ million copies sold; Top 25 best-selling 360 game
- Halo 3 = 2007; 12+ million copies sold; Top 7 best-selling 360 game
- Gears 2 = 2008; 6+ million copies sold; Top 25...
- H3: ODST = 2009; 6+ million copies sold; Top 30...
- H: Reach = 2010; 9+ million copies sold; Top 10...
- Gears 3 = 2011; 6+ million copies sold; Top 25...
- Halo 4 = 2012; 9+ million copies sold; Top 11...
- Gears Judgment = 2013; 1+ million copies sold; Top 150...
It can be said that Gears of War was THE Must-Play Xbox Game while Halo was being worked on. We see this with Halo 3 and Reach, and even Halo 4; and this is why i respect Gears, because just like other xbox game series like MechAssault and Crimson Skies on the original Xbox, Mass Effect and Deadrising on the 360, or Fable and Ninja Gaiden for both generations, it kept players well fed while Halo was being made. But, with Microsoft/Xbox being more ecosystem-oriented, i don't think this part matters all that much for the future (cuz "exclusives bad/anti-consumer" and all that)
However, it does matter when talking about the history of Xbox and how it got as far as it did, even today. That's why i think that Gears of War got me so emotional, this prequel game specifically, as well as others, because Xbox is in a steep decline with no Halo to bail them out this time; Xbox today is FAR from the powerhouse and KING of gaming that it was with the 360, and E-Day looks to be the "savior" of the brand (regardless if its exclusive or not). You add in the fact that they used a subtle piano cover of Mad World and its ez emotions being felt.
Not saying E-Day (or any game or combinations of games) can take Xbox to the top once again; but E-Day along with some key supporting games from certain franchises can definitely stop them from the spiraling downfall that the brand is currently going through
This showcase was too fk'n legendary, and its been more than 3 days later!!
I don't get it. We need 6 to wrap up the story why the hell are they working on a new one before even gow 1
They messed up by killing off James Dominic Fenix And Del ? Because that was too early in the first place Things have not gotten that worse yet and they made a mistake by doing that and that's why they postpone gears of War 6 because of that and it got a lot of negative feedback because of that and why Because they figured JD And Del Was Supposed To Be like Marcus and Dominic all over again and had the potential of it but they ruined it in gears 5
Really, they gave their fans Gears. Now you're complaining it's not Gears 6.
Whose complaining? Cuz I'm not. As I say in the vid, I much prefer this over Gears 6.
I will take any gears of War at this point. The last time I played the 5 has been so long.
^^^^^^^ THIS 100% - Frankly I'm just happy to get any Gears game
We should get a gears of war game based off of halo wars gameplay that would be so fun
We shall call it Gears of War Wars
You mean a RTS? Yeah that could be a thing, but Gears has always been very squad based which is why I can see they did a tactics game instead. Who knows tho.
You can burn the gears 4 and 5 story for all I care. I LOVED delta squad. The new group is bland. JD has all the character depth of Fred from old school scooby doo, Del is just failing at trying to be Dom, and Kait is mind numbingly uninteresting. The ONLY reason I played either game was for old Marcus. Forget that storyline COMPLETELY and let's get a prequel trilogy.
Sorry not sorry but Kait is hella annoying and arrogant, rude asf for no damn reason I honestly hope they scrap her story or at least revamp it in a way dat makes sense after E day
Im happy they did they new they couldn't continue the 4/5 story as they the worst at of all of them
Every real gears fan prefers gear E day then gears 6
I was expecting gears 6 got something better and sobbed over it seeing dom broke my heart knowing what he went through is gonna add more depression and sadness on replaying gears 2 and gears 3 if they make the collection remaster all fucking hell will break loose as in the flood gates will open
Gears 5 wasn’t a very good game, so it makes sense to galvanize the fan base and get them rehyped. The new trilogy’s characters and the overall premise is pretty poorly implemented. Gears 5 was better than 4, but I honestly couldn’t care less about Kait. And my god is Del an annoying character. The OG characters are the GOATs. I’m still interested in finishing the Gears story with a Gears of War 6, but they need to reestablish the tone and focus of the IP before doing that.
Hopefully they go with the “sad Marcus” ending of Gears 5 and then finish off the storyline playing as him as he wrestles with his demons and finishes off the swarm.
I hate the the newer gears characters. I find them very bland. The original characters like Marcus, Dom, Baired and Cole are much better. I feel like I want more story from Anya as well.
I didn’t know other projects were canceled. I hope one wasn’t gears tactics 2. Ultimately they made the right move going with E-day it seems.
Yeah. Maybe one was a non Gears thing? Guess we'll never know, but I'm happy we're getting this for sure.
The only way I'll give Gears 6 a chance, is if Marcus or JD are the protagonists. Gears 5 sucked. They threw JD under the bus and ran with Mary Poppins Kait. lol
It was really weird to move away from JD for sure
Because everyone hates the new “Gears” games
So they went back to what everyone loves and went from “Gears” back to “Gears of war!” With all the characters we love from our childhoods with the most significant event in the gears of war universe!
Who cares about gears 6 ain't nobody tryna play that shit
Made nothing complicated, nobody wanted gears 6 plain and simple. Kait is a shit character, del is whatever and JD should have been the main focus but got sidelined for the sake of pandering.
Fr I would’ve been happy with a remaster of 2 and 3 but e day is a nice surprise and I’m really looking forward to it, I just hope they don’t mess it up.
Gears 4 and 5 sucked ass and the characters were all one note, getting killed off for shock or being dumbed down to let the one note characters shine. Im so glad were getting e-day and returning to what Gears of War really is
Biggest bromance in gaming is Solid Snake and Otacon
....you know what that's pretty damn fair. xD
BRO. . . WHHHHY is that even a question you chose to prompt in the beginning as if we weren’t all already aware that Gears 4 and 5 are dog $hit👀. Like are you kidding or is this just some type of setup concept for your video.
Seems to me you’re sympathizing with 4, 5 and the unreleased 6, which are all trash and botched narrative story telling, with the mechanics in those games ALSO being LITERAL dog $hit in equivalency. Get lost with that rhetoric bro. No one wants Gears 6.
Bro, the obvious and in your face answer of why they are making Gears of War E-Day instead of Gears 6 is because the majority of the Gears fans/community did not like the story, characters, tone and gameplay of Gears 5. Not to also mention all the bs micro transactions that were shoved into the multiplayer and how broken the game was at release and how it is still broken to this day. If you were an actually Gears fan you would know all of this instead of trying to ignore and dance around the obvious issues that true fans had with Gears 5. Going back to the OG characters and back during the events of the Locust-Human war is what so many of us have wanted for years now. Again, it’s not that hard to see why they are going in this direction.
Gears 4 I bought but gears 5 on game psss gears e day gonna support it buy the most expensive because I support original story gears 6 sequel to gears 5 will be game pass again not paying full price for gears 5 or 6 gears 4 was OK could of been darker but hey gears 5 could of been better and I hope gears 6 sequel to it needs to be dark again
Bro fuck gears 5
Gears EDay may give Gears 6 greater significance. One more deep dive into Marcus' character before he's killed off in Gears 6.
Bro wtf if they kill off marcus imma make a irl locust army and imma pull up to the TC studios fr
Don't say that 😭
They kill off Marcus and I'm personally showing up the the coalition office and yelling at everyone. Gears 6 can be forgotten about in my book.
Nobody cares if it feels like gears 6 bc that story wasn’t what gears truly is. I think if gears E-Day does well they should drop gears 6 completely and reboot after that. As long as they keep the gritty war feeling instead of the woke direction of the new games
because they know continuing after that garbage is way too hard. So now they have chosen to wildly run to the past as hard as they can. We'll probably get a saga out of this new game.
Nobody wants to play as Kait. She ruined the franchise. Glad they are bringing back the OG boys 🔥🔥🔥
Playing as her yeah I don't care to do that again, but that storyline I think it feels weird to leave unfinished for as long as it will have been. Almost like it just never will be addressed which I can see many feeling weird about big picture wise.
nah no one wants gears 6. 4 was meh at best and 5 is a dumpster fire. BRING ON E-DAY!!!!!!!
nobody wants gear 6 mate
Gears of war 1,2,3 judgment and tactics are my favs. Gears 4 left me like what? Just felt too different in a boring bad way. Didnt even know i was fighting the (wack) last boss then it was over, yup the credits started rolling. Pure garbage. And gears 5 was so bad i did even feel like finishing it. Thats sad because im definitely a fan. That "gears" mess gotta go!!! We want Gears of "War"!!!! Cant wait for this one.
Who gives a fuck about gears 6 😂 if they ever put another number in the title they should skip 6
Its quite simple... Gears 5 sucked, Kait sucks... REAL OG Gearheads know
Gears Of War 1, 2 and 3 were the only good Gears games. All the rest are complete dog shit.
nobody likes the characters in 5
To be honest, I hate that they’re doing this now. Feels like they’re catering to the people who have been bitching “I don’t wanna play as a woman in Gears!” for the last 7 years. This pushes Kait’s story back another 7-10 years. Or cancelled completely.
No, it feels like they’re giving new players a great place to start.
@@sj4iy In the middle of a trilogy? Right when they left off on a cliffhanger? I don’t buy it.
and thats a good thing
I don’t want to play as jd either, I don’t like any of the characters from the new ones, gender is irrelevant in contrast to everything just being mediocre, the swarm and db’s are boring compared to the locust and frankly everyone could die and I wouldn’t bat an eye, hell the only insensitive I had to choose who to kill at the end of five was “man, if I kill Marcus’s kid that’ll make him sad I’m not doing that, ima just kill uh… whatever this guys name was”
I appreciate that I'm being catered to then.
Are people serious here? Who cares about the story and the cast? Gears of war was all about multiplayer, 1,2 and 3 were great to play…since then its been aimed at children.
if you seriously think Gears fans don't care about the story you are awfully mistaken
megadeth is correct
@@megadeth8592 Totally seems your right, tbh i just never understood it, for me it was always about the multi player battles and early maps with the original darker graphics.
I really enjoyed Gears 4 and 5 both amazing games! Also, gears E day is bringing what we wanted back to gears! The tone, etc.
Hoping gears 6 you’ll play as Marcus and JD father and son.
I’m happy someone finally shared this. Peeps have been bashing it too harshly here imo
@@SamuraiKibiji to me Gears 4 and 5 are amazing! You have Gears 4, the aftermath of the Great War. Told years later through the eyes of JD in a span of a day! Personal story! How badass is that? Then Gears 5 takes it up to the next level! Gears 5 is a summer blockbuster!
