Yes! Glad you did training! Because it’s actually a story chapter that you get to learn more about this Carmine and his family! Because most people skip it because they played the first one. 😊❤️. Thank you Jonesy! 🥳
2:51 right there in that little scene is actually “The Pendulum Wars”. It was between “Coalition of Ordered Governments” (COG) and “Union of Independent Republics.” (UIR). 😊❤️.
Exactly. The Saw Lancers didn’t come around until when the Locust show up. From what I read: Each game had it a different writer. Karen Traviss did part 3, and a lot of the novels (by far my favorite). The standard that the Lancers was her’s. So it’s understandable why we see modern lancers in part 2. But that’s a good eye to notice.
Gears 3 is my favourite but Gears 2's story is the literal definition of chefs kiss! Hope you're enjoying this one as much as I did back on my first playthrough!
It’s good you went through the training cuz it gives you extra lore! Like how this trainee is Anthony carmines brother (the guy who got sniped in the first one). Also this chainsaw is better you can even chainsaw duel! If a locust revs up theirs and is coming at you rev up yours!! Im only saying cuz the game doesnt really teach you if I remember correctly. You’ll still get stunned if you rev it up while getting shot at but if you rev it and hold before you take damage you can maintain it! It was something we learned from the trailers and devs talking about it before it released! You’ll still get stunned if you rev it up while under fire and taking damage tho. If you rev it before you take damage you can maintain it tho just careful not to rush in to a group of enemies cuz you’ll die lol always use it when a guy is alone or a little separated from the main group or just the last one alive. Also yes a lot of your questions will be answered and you’ll get a lot of extra lore from those collectibles! You’re going to LOVE this adventure!
A few different mechanics were introduced in Gears 2 and onwards. First of all you can punch with B while holding a grenade to stick the grenade to an enemy which will explode a few seconds later. Second enemies that are crawling can be executed or using A you can pick them up and use them as a meat shield.
Tip: hold down RB at the same time as firing the turret to immediately cool it down. When enemies are crawling you can finish them off by pressing X or Y, or use as a meat shield with A. You can shoot the hooks to stop the Locust from grappling up a ledge.
This was my favorite gears of war game, I don’t really remember gears 3 I must admit I didn’t like it as much though. Gears 2 was the best of the trilogy
21:29 You can change your aim sensitivity. From the main menu, press RB to ho to the options, then select 'Xbox 360 controller settings' then change look and target sensitivity;l. Turning it down makes aiming SO much better, it's transformative to the gameplay, and i HIGHLY recommend it. (Basically, you set 'target sensitivity' to low).
No lucky hammer of dawn on her back for this one, she's COOKED. Also as for Dom: They hint at it in the first game, but on E-day, his parents and his children were killed, and his wife disappeared. He's been looking for her for 15 years.
@@Mercurial_Phantom I don't think they ever clarify if it's specifically his parents or hers, or the exact timing of her disappearance, but it makes the most sense for it to happen on or very close to E-day when Dom wouldn't have been able to help due to the chaos.
Maria's parents were confirmed dead since her kids (who died on E-day) were with them; Dom's parents are suspected to be dead. Maria disappeared sometime in 4AE, meaning Dom's been searching for her for roughly 10 years
Yay! I can’t believe we’re playing the 2nd game so fast! I love getting my games in physical. I buy my games secondhand or on sale. This week I bought Borderlands 2 for Xbox 360! It’s soo cool! 😎😊
You can perform special executions on the crawling locust after you “down” them. I grew up playing this franchise, I’m glad you are enjoying it. It’s crazy seeing someone experience it all for the first time 😮
Jonessyyyyy! I agree so much! You don't know how much I miss good old manuals! Reading the manual on your way home from the store, because you're way too excited... Or having those huge boxes PC games had back then... Good old times... Great first episode! Time to show once again that those Locusts have no chance against the hoomans! Have a wonderful day, Jonesy!
Ah Gears 2! Been looking forward to you going through this one, I love Gears 1 but this is the game that truly made me fall in love in the series as a whole and is my 2nd favourite behind Gears 3. Probably has my favourite opening act of any of the games too, the scale of assault on Landown is just epic. Yeah, the enemies being downed isn't a new thing you could down them in the original but you couldn't crawl when downed in the original game, you'd just be stationery. It wasnt a major common thing to down them in the original game, you'd have to aim them in knees or legs to down them for the most part. So cool to see you have the physical copy as well, I miss the era of physical games and media, always loved going through the manuals of games and reading through them, unfortunately by the end of the 360 era that had all died out.
It's actually criminal that this game was never remastered like the first one. It's one of, if not THE best in the franchise. Gears 2 desperately needs a remaster.
I assure you that using the chainsaw on the Locust is so fun. Also they crawl because you can have a chance to execute them. Loved the gameplay though, will look forward for more
I love the way you look stunstruck by this game, really envy you discovering this kind of stories, gears, halo etc. Im'm sure you are going to enjoy gears saga. You wanna make cooler your videos? Down an enemy, get close to him while he crawls, interact😉😉😉
don't forget that you can do different executions when the locust are crawling in the ground. just choose the weapon that you want to do the execution and enjoy.👍
Games dont do Player books anymore because most devs dont always have all around passion for the games. Gears had short ads-- sad and everything else was focused on giving to the people. Thats why gears trilogy will always be loved
This’ll probably be your favorite Gears among the old ones, it’s got the best lore found in collectibles, the story is very high stakes and engaging, the set pieces are sick, the minor characters are very memorable, etc. Take your time soaking in and exploring the environments, it’ll help you go off the beaten path to find the collectibles which actually contribute some relevant information to your questions about the world the game is set in!
I knew you couldn’t resist coming back for more! The locust crawling on the floor is part of the revival mechanic; if you’re hit too many times, you don’t immediately die and have a small amount of time to be revived by allies (dom-do-dom-dom), and can use downed locust as meat shields…or just execute them, which is always fun.
27:22 They're doing a Dom impression 🤣 You can walk up to them and do an execution. I think you will perform a different one depending on the weapon you're holding.
First things first, killer nails 💅 totally with you on the manuals point as well, I think if more effort like that was still put into physical copies I wouldn't have switched. So much care and love and design and even story can get put into those things - these days it's all saved up for the £100+ collector's edition. Anyway, how exciting that you've started this - such a great game. I think I have fond memories as by this time I was a 360 owner on release and jumped right into the right with the boys. I know you aren't one for multiplayer but the MP in this game was such a turning point - more brilliant memories. You're in for a crackin' time with this, really glad you're enjoying it so far and well done for getting to grips with it all straight away. Anyway, have a crackin' day boss.
JAM!!! I gotta say these are my fav nails at the moment. I'm absolutely loving this game SO much. I can see why so many have fond memories of it! Thank you so much Jam! Hope you're having a wonderful day. Tell Mary I said hi!!
8:30 in this game, there’s now a mixture of collectibles and cog tags that you can get. Pretty cool huh? Plus, most of the collectibles are lore based stuff from the world and events currently. 😊❤️
So glad you’ve started GoW2. You’ll definitely get much more expansion on the lore this time round. I guess after the success of the first game the devs really leaned into it more. Also, enemies that are crawling around can be executed when you approach them. It doesn’t give you anything, but its a lot of fun. Some of the weapons, primary and pistols, have unique executions as well. So be sure to try them out if you’re ever carrying a new gun and the opportunity presents itself. They expand on the executions further in Gears Of War 3 too. Something to look forward too. Anyways, looking forward to the next upload!
I am glad you found an original copy of the game with the manual included! I am so disappointed that newer games no longer have the manual booklet with physical copies. The amount of nostalgia I've felt watching you play this is unreal, I am considering hooking up my old 360 to play all my old games again.
Looking forward to checking out this game. It's cool you got a hard copy with a manual. I have manuals with my old PC games. Unfortunately the original boxes had to go but I don't have room for everything.
Gears of War 2 it is! Nice touch with the bad guys getting injured and crawling away. That speech was something else. You will adjust to the aiming difference but you did well regardless.
Those little guys that go under the rigs and explode are called tickers, you’ll run into them later again, they are very easy to kill but they are very annoying. Also, when the locust crawl away it means that they are down and waiting for their mates to revive them so it’s best to kill them as soon as possible (I had no idea gears of war 1 didn’t have down but not out thing.. interesting 🤔)
You're in for a RIDE. Gears 2 has the best story in the series and the scales are increased considerably. While Gears 1 had a post-apocalyptic horror vibe, taking place in Locust territory and wading through a ruined city filled with monsters. Gears 2 shows us the frontlines of the war, with COG and Locust armies engaging each other in set piece battles.
When are you likely to return to halo still unfinished story to tell, I like gears of war and enjoy your playthroughs but be lovely to finish the story on master geez
@@ashtonerby8890I totally understand the break, from halo and am aware of it But gears of war is complete. Gears of war 2 will take a while to complete So I hope she returns after gears of war two The break would of been more than a long break after gears 2
Shooting a man on his sick bed doesnt go towards your kill tally you know 😅 Great to see you continuing the Gears story, also great to see you picked up the physical copy 👍
I thought I was doing him a favour.... making the pain stop 😬 Thank you Saints. I'm loving these games so far... there is no stopping me now! Hope you're having a wonderful week
That was extremely good gameplay from you Jonesy, some things you gotta try, when you shoot the locust in the knee, they’ll go into revive mode and when you get close to them you’ll get to do a cool execution, Y is punching them (it varies with the weapon you have), X is stomping on them, which is what carmine did, A for grabbing them, you can still shoot, snap their neck with X, holding B will allow you to chainsaw them, you gotta try chainsawing again, they made it better now so you won’t get interrupted and you can initiate a chainsaw fight by holding B with another person that has the lancer rifle. It’s good you have a shotgun, gotta make sure you’re close to deal maximum damage, continue playing so you’ll learn more about what’s going on. Have fun, love you
A lore based location. Jacinto is the last city on Sera that is not taken or destroyed by the Locust for the past 15 years since. The city is on a Plateau that Marcus said that the Locust couldn’t get through. And the city in the last game Timgad, was located on the Jacinto Plateau. But like you saw in the hospital, Tai said many people are suffering from Rustlung. What you didn’t know Jonesy is that most of the people in the hospital came from Timgad, the city where we did the light mass bombing and it became too dangerous for stranded who were still living there. 😊.
Great episode, Jonesy. Your face during this game is amazing. You look so happy to be playing this game. You know what happens to rookies in this scenario ☠️. Keep your fingers crossed. Cheers ❤
King, I'm having the most fun sharing this set of games with you guys. It genuinely brings me SO much joy 😭 Thank you so much! I hope you're having a fantastic week so far!
How do you like the graphics? I know it’s sort of a downgrade from the remastered. But it’s the mixture of the last game original graphics and the new updated ones. Same year as GTA 4. 2008. ❤️
Oh yes Jonesy. Idk if you saw “Coming Soon” or something in the main menu. But there’s a story dlc in this game called “Road to Ruin.” And it’s pretty cool. But I highly advise doing it when you finish gears of war 2. If you plan to do it. 😊❤️
Ok I have to ask, is the instruction manual written with an in-game style? Those are the best kinds and this was almost certainly from the waning days of instruction manuals. This certainly kicked off intense. This Dizzy guy is pretty great. He's like if Uncle from Red Dead got lifted into this game and it works surprisingly well. Intrigued as well to see where Dom's story goes. And on a completely unrelated note, if you didn't see the Directive 8020 teaser trailer, check it out. It looks like it ticks all the boxes for something you'd enjoy.
Would've been nice if they did a remake or even just added it to a collection like what Halo did with the Master Chief Collection. That said, GOW2 still looks good for a 2008 game.
Trying to catch up with you Jonesy. Coming to the end of the first game myself. I did a bit of research after a previous video and found there aren’t any Brumak statues but you can get Brumak funko pops if you want one by your bedside
The game is more fun when you get closer to the enemies and use different weapons. Whe a locust is crawling you can do an execution. It will be different depending on the weapon you have
1:30 yes! I actually have the same game box as you do Jonesy! Twins! 😊❤️. Manual and everything! I love it! Thank you! Brings my childhood heart out! 🫶😃
I cant stop with this game!! Its a new favourite that's for sure. I really wish more disc versions still came with the little booklet and stickers. Thank you Todd. I hope you're having a great week 🙌
6:30 you better never stop, like “reach out and touch grace” it’s your gimmick and you have to do it every time you play 😂 47:49 I hope you were inspired by that speech…we are all counting on you spacecat 🙌 Thank you for the video jonesy, entertaining as always
Hi Jonesy Great video this game is a lot of fun really enjoyed watching, I do miss when games came with the manual they did come with some good stuff in them. 🙂
I really miss having the little booklets in games. there is so much space in the boxes just filled with air.... come on games people fill em up! 😂 Hope you're having a wonderful week so far
Last I knew we were on a hiatus from the video I watched not long ago. Are you back or these backlog videos? Either way hope you well and having awesome days! ❤ Enjoy GoW2. These games are so great!
That speech from Chairman Prescott is one of the greatest speeches in gaming history! I get chills every time I hear it. ☺️❤️😇
Such a shame physical copies and trading is dying out,digital has ruined things like box art and little surprise booklets… keeping doing you ❤
GREATEST SPEECH IN VIDEO GAME HISTORY🔥
I prefer the original graphics it does make it more gritty keep up the great work I'm enjoying the ride. 😎
YEEEEEEEEEEEEES
Yes! Glad you did training! Because it’s actually a story chapter that you get to learn more about this Carmine and his family! Because most people skip it because they played the first one. 😊❤️. Thank you Jonesy! 🥳
Poor Carmines… they’ve been through a lot 😔
2:51 right there in that little scene is actually “The Pendulum Wars”. It was between “Coalition of Ordered Governments” (COG) and “Union of Independent Republics.” (UIR). 😊❤️.
Yeah I noticed they were holding old lancers. That's a surprise, I thought they came up with the Retro Lancer in the 3rd game.
Exactly. The Saw Lancers didn’t come around until when the Locust show up. From what I read: Each game had it a different writer. Karen Traviss did part 3, and a lot of the novels (by far my favorite). The standard that the Lancers was her’s. So it’s understandable why we see modern lancers in part 2.

Thank you so much. I hope you're having a wicked weekend
The First Red Dead Redemption game came with an actual map/poster.
I prefer physical copies of games too, and love game manuals!!! They should bring them back!! Another top video of another great game!!

Gears of War 2 was one of many games that made the Xbox 360 a household name.
This’ll probably be your favorite Gears among the old ones, it’s got the best lore found in collectibles, the story is very high stakes and engaging, the set pieces are sick, the minor characters are very memorable, etc.

Thank you so much Jam!

You should be able to adjust your sensitivity.
Your are a great person to be around.❤️ 💕 😊
Gears of war is free on game pass too
8:30 in this game, there’s now a mixture of collectibles and cog tags that you can get. Pretty cool huh? Plus, most of the collectibles are lore based stuff from the world and events currently. 😊❤️
I’m losing sleep binge watching these 😅
ah thank you rage 😊

👋🔥🔥🔥 nice
1:00:50 his legs XD
this game is a middle school core memory !

Another amazing playthrough Jonesy ❤❤🔥🔥.
Im sure jonesy has mentioned it before, but i forgot what her name meant. And i was watching alien yesterday and i finally got it😅. That space cat 🐈
You will get more lore in 2 and 3.
The main locust weapon the hammer burst is actually really good in this game

While Gears 1 had a post-apocalyptic horror vibe, taking place in Locust territory and wading through a ruined city filled with monsters. Gears 2 shows us the frontlines of the war, with COG and Locust armies engaging each other in set piece battles.
A rule of thumb is, if the game gives you a situation where you need frag grenades there should be some nearby
When are you likely to return to halo still unfinished story to tell,
I like gears of war and enjoy your playthroughs but be lovely to finish the story on master geez
She said in her taking a break video that she’ll be focusing on gears of war and she’ll return to Halo soon
@@ashtonerby8890I totally understand the break, from halo and am aware of it
But gears of war is complete.
Gears of war 2 will take a while to complete
So I hope she returns after gears of war two
The break would of been more than a long break after gears 2
Gears 3 will destroy you
i cant wait 💀
Shooting a man on his sick bed doesnt go towards your kill tally you know 😅
Great to see you continuing the Gears story, also great to see you picked up the physical copy 👍
I thought I was doing him a favour.... making the pain stop 😬
Thank you Saints. I'm loving these games so far... there is no stopping me now!
Hope you're having a wonderful week

Game still looks great for 2008! Really feels like you're going to war in this one. ⚙
this game took everything great about the first game and did even better
Hard Agree!!
Man you're a gears of War fanatic now you're playing another. Hoorahhhhh.😂👍
Been waiting for this! Since the end of the last one! Whoooooo! Let’s go!
Great episode, Jonesy. Your face during this game is amazing. You look so happy to be playing this game. You know what happens to rookies in this scenario ☠️. Keep your fingers crossed. Cheers ❤
King, I'm having the most fun sharing this set of games with you guys. It genuinely brings me SO much joy 😭
Thank you so much!
I hope you're having a fantastic week so far!
Ok be honest, hows this vibe compared to gears 1? Lol
This is like the first one but with EXTRA!!
Great video I like it a lot 💪🏿👍🏿
Fantastic sequel
carmine is legend
play the game mass effect
Let's goooooo
Heck yeah!!!
i am cex member, u have space on u to get another gun, it will help if run low on bullets. very action pack
How do you like the graphics? I know it’s sort of a downgrade from the remastered. But it’s the mixture of the last game original graphics and the new updated ones. Same year as GTA 4. 2008. ❤️
Gears of war 2, the best game in the entire FUCKING saga jejeje, I hope you learn the controls and unlock basic achievements
Oh yes Jonesy. Idk if you saw “Coming Soon” or something in the main menu. But there’s a story dlc in this game called “Road to Ruin.” And it’s pretty cool. But I highly advise doing it when you finish gears of war 2. If you plan to do it. 😊❤️
You absolutely CAN adjust your aim, look and zoom sensitivities in the options menu. In this one it's just High, Med, Low.
Ok I have to ask, is the instruction manual written with an in-game style? Those are the best kinds and this was almost certainly from the waning days of instruction manuals. This certainly kicked off intense. This Dizzy guy is pretty great. He's like if Uncle from Red Dead got lifted into this game and it works surprisingly well. Intrigued as well to see where Dom's story goes. And on a completely unrelated note, if you didn't see the Directive 8020 teaser trailer, check it out. It looks like it ticks all the boxes for something you'd enjoy.
Would've been nice if they did a remake or even just added it to a collection like what Halo did with the Master Chief Collection. That said, GOW2 still looks good for a 2008 game.
Oh hell yeah. Get ready for those janky 2008 graphics.
Trying to catch up with you Jonesy. Coming to the end of the first game myself. I did a bit of research after a previous video and found there aren’t any Brumak statues but you can get Brumak funko pops if you want one by your bedside
Impressive gameplay, Jonesy. You know, I've been supporting on Juliette's channel for years now.
Yeah I wish too games come to manuals now :/
And I do hope you get to play the whole series!! I love gears :D
You ever heard the term "sequels do it best"? This goes tenfold with gears 2, try Horde with friends if you get a chance
GUYS, SHES DOING IT. SHES PLAYING 2 (and probably 3)!
for sure will be playing 3 a well 🙌
The game is more fun when you get closer to the enemies and use different weapons. Whe a locust is crawling you can do an execution. It will be different depending on the weapon you have
Hi Jonesy how are you doing today?😊
well thanks 😊
The manual is really cool these days they just cheap out and don’t bother putting in that kind of effort
As a Gears of War diehard the campaign from Gears of War 2 is my favorite in the series.
1:30 yes! I actually have the same game box as you do Jonesy! Twins! 😊❤️. Manual and everything! I love it! Thank you! Brings my childhood heart out! 🫶😃
More Jonesy content! Yay!
I haven't owned a physical game since PS3, I think. They did have some cool inserts back in the day though.
I cant stop with this game!!
Its a new favourite that's for sure. I really wish more disc versions still came with the little booklet and stickers.
Thank you Todd. I hope you're having a great week 🙌
Gears 2 is such a great game, there are some absolutely hype sections but it is missing a certain enemy from the 1st game
Am I only one that actually loves the Hammerburst😭
I love the Hammerburst. In fact, I think it's superior in fire rate and power to the Lancer. That chainsaw is just so indispensible though.
🎉👍🏼😊
6:30 you better never stop, like “reach out and touch grace” it’s your gimmick and you have to do it every time you play 😂
47:49 I hope you were inspired by that speech…we are all counting on you spacecat 🙌
Thank you for the video jonesy, entertaining as always
Ok ok, I'll never stop!! you got me!
Thank you so much Peter!!
I hope you're having a wonderful week so far! 😊
insta click lol glad to se you continue the trilogy
Hi Jonesy Great video this game is a lot of fun really enjoyed watching, I do miss when games came with the manual they did come with some good stuff in them. 🙂
I really miss having the little booklets in games. there is so much space in the boxes just filled with air.... come on games people fill em up! 😂
Hope you're having a wonderful week so far
I could listen to you talk for hours. 🎶 😌
So happy you're continuing the series!! Looking forward to the journey!
so exciting right into two!!!
Last I knew we were on a hiatus from the video I watched not long ago. Are you back or these backlog videos?
Either way hope you well and having awesome days! ❤
Enjoy GoW2. These games are so great!
I'm not on a hiatus?
I always play games ahead of the upload in case of spoilers 😊
@@JonesySpaceCat oh I remember a live broadcast iirc where you said about taking time off due to a loss and then getting stuff remodeled as well.
