Can we finally admit Gears of War is a compelling series with deep lore, creative world building and realistic, flawed characters and not some generic roid fueled dudebro shooter from the early 2000s?
I think we're ready to have this conversation

Only the first 3 games.
Eli Ortiz
No. Cliffy B stated that the story was just a vessel inspired by US attacking Afghanistan. If the people who wrote the game say there is no story, then I'm not going to pretend there is one.
Cooper Gray
The first three games and extended media like comics and books that were released around the time as the first three games.
The books and comics are unironically great.
Gabriel Evans
But the US invasion of towelland was kino too.
Connor Torres
The only good part about Gears 4 is the Aspho Fields flashback.
We really need more games set in the pendulum wars.
Easton Campbell
First 3 games are kino, 4 and 5 should never have existed.
Dylan Jackson
Yes, the epic trilogy is the peak of the TPS genre, it had everything without compromising gameplay. Snoy movie games were a fucking mistake
Easton Lewis
>Literal state operated rape factories
Alexander Garcia
>Finally introduce a likable main character that isn't related to the OG cast
>Kill it at the end
It's fucking obvious Del canonically dies, they can't kill Marcus wifes son.
We'll be stuck with the fucking british guy, mary sue, fenix jr and whatever minority token character they come up with for the 4th squad member in Gears 6, and I fucking hate it.
Oliver Martin
The Hivebusters expansion was good. The chemistry Scorpion squad had felt a lot like the OG Delta banter, even if they only had like two hours to develop them as characters.
I have high hopes for a sequel or a spinoff involving Scorpion even if it takes place in the same dogshit creatively bankrupt universe as 4 and 5
Easton Young
It was fun to make fun of back then but we didn't know how good we had it with Gears.
Gavin Martin
Some of the best trailers
James White

Anthony Scott
Why did bideo game graphics stop improving?
Caleb Myers
It takes exponentially more effort to throw more polygons at grafics for minimal gains so the next big step is in lighting with RTX.
RTX is more than puddle reflections as the UE5 demo and Metro Last Light showed.
Luke Scott
>Gears of War
More like TEARS of War.
Christopher Russell
It surely rained in my living room during that scene in Gears 3
Tyler Myers
Gears 2 is still one of my favorite games.

This cutscene is still kino even after all these years.
Luis Rogers
What's so bad about 4 and 5? 4 is just slow and 5 isn't really that bad at all. I see a lot of people act like it's completely detached from everything gears before it but it isn;'t really far fetched as they make it out to be
Nathan Hall
Gears 2 on PC when? There are 3 xbox games I'll always beg for on PC. Halo Reach, which obviously did come out on PC but the nostalgia didn't last. Gears of war 2, which does have the slightest chance but I doubt it'll ever get on PC. Finally Condemned 2 which has a literal zero percent chance of ever being ported to PC.
Jackson Cooper
Just as kino is the ending of that game.
Juan Wilson
4 is extremely forgettable and has a much less interesting plot due to the fact the locust died fucking ages ago, the robot enemies are not fun to fight and are far less interesting in design.
5 was better and i actually remember shit from that game but its story is just as shit and had a pointless choice at the end of the game that won't matter in the sequel.
Both of them fail to reach the quality and soul of the first 3 games, and the franchise would be better off if they didn't exist to fuck up the story.
Jack Fisher
I must be the only one who thought the dom death scene was stupid. Once mad world started playing I couldn't take that shit seriously anymore. 2 was way better in being serious.

Get it the fuck together. You already have a Gears 1 PC port, just add it.

Honestly didnt even remember that game was a thing
Justin Clark
Dudebro culture is not a bad thing and is sorely missed in today's faggot planet.
Tyler Torres
Just as with Anno and the evangelion series, cliffy b going through horrible depression helped make the trilogy so good.
You can tell he was coming out of his depression by the time gears 3 came out due to the story becoming much tamer.
I miss old Epic Games
Carter Watson
Trust the plan. We'll get a trilogy remaster. Thanks for beta testing, cucks.

They were always fun games but I will always hate them for ruining other third person shooters for over a decade.

Its ok, you can wait another 20 years for Xbox emulation to finally work.

Gears two is unironically my favorite game. Fite me fags.
>tfw waiting on Marcus Fenix Collection
Matthew Hill
You sure like eating shit but that's expected from zoomie who grew up during ps360 era
Austin Miller
I wouldn't go that far, but it's my favorite one in the franchise, gears 3 sucks in my opinion because lambent are boring and it embraces the "brown and piss" filter
Xavier Rodriguez
>NO THOSE GAMES DON'T COUNT
Cooper Brown
Don´t forget the new casts sucks, they are all charisma vacuums.
Adam Robinson
>plz buy an obsolete pc parody to replay 7th gen shit
Kekus maximus
>don't count
Correct
Ryan Sanders
They didn´t, art direction is what got worse.
Grayson Moore
Gears sucks ass. The story is melodramatic as fuck. I don't give a fuck about dom or his wife, why won't he just shut the fuck up?
The only things I liked about gears was the chainsaw bayonet, and horde mode in 2.
Wyatt Ward
>plz buy an overpriced meme PC that can't even play 6 and 7th gen xbox games just to play mobas and VN all days
Lol ok fag
John Reed
Gears 5 completely removing map hazards was one of the worst design choices.
Ryder Ramirez
>7th gen
>games
LMAO
Brandon Lewis
Can't wait for gears 6
Hunter Price
It isn't a bad game if you excise all the other shit from 2008 that was trying to get it's big start in the thirdperson coverbased shooting. Must be a reason why it's still around unlike Army of Two or Killzone.
Josiah Cook
It was always good.
It peaked story/feel/vibe wise in 2, and the gameplay peaked in 3.
