I don't know if the average civilian would be able to kill any locusts because they have a very thick skin and small arms don't do much to them as far as I've heard, in fact the snub pistol for example uses cal. 50 rounds. Probably living far from densely populated areas is what would give people a better chance of survival.

I feel like it potentially diminishes the impact that scene is supposed to have. Tai was introduced as a stoic, spiritual yet hardened individual. He could take a lot and bounce back up. The decision to off himself was supposed to showcase just how brutal the Locust were, that even a guy like Tai would choose suicide from the experience. I suppose it doesn't completely negate that idea, but it certainly changes the focus of the decision.

And side note that would make kinda of a good character in Gears 6 or a prequel game of a Gear who managed to escape the Hollow and allow its horrors as a P.O.W and live to tell the tail and maybe along side with other P.O.W's.

I knew that Dom was not going to have a happy ending, but his ‘reunion’ with what was left of Maria was still painful. When Gears of War 3 was in development I emailed Karen Travis and begged her to not kill Dom, or at least write a scene in which Dom and Maria spend one last night together in which she became pregnant and gave birth before Dom saw her again. I begged, I really did, and even offered to sign any sort of release that I would not seek even a single dime if they used my idea (though it would have been nice of them to have tossed me a free copy of GoW3 if they did), but she ignored me and Dom died, joining his wife and children. But had Dom discovered his new son or daughter it would have given him reason to live, or had Marcus and Arya discovered Dom and Maria’s (unknown to them) last child they could have raised that child in memory of his/her parents, and that child would have been a few years older than J.D. and could have been his big brother or big sister. Alas, they ignored me and I’m still pretty salty about it.

That scene with dom and Maria hurts so much more now that I have my wife in my life. I couldn’t begin to imagine what dom would go through having to spare his wife that kind of life. These games are brutal but I do love them!

If you flip over the symbol of a mechanical/engineered machine from the gamebook cover of gears of war 3, you get a pyramid with mechanical arms. Trippy sh.

I absolutely loved this series and still do. That said, the storyline would have made so much more sense overall if the Locusts were actually resurrected humans from the pendulum wars mutated by the imulsion. This would have solved so many plot issues like why the Locusts were kidnapping humans.

@aztumtheknightofwumbo70602 жыл бұрын
It was almost directly stated in the first game, though you might've misheard it. When the first berserker screams, Baird says "She can hear us. She can SMELL us." Berserkers are the only female locusts in the game.

A more ethical and maybe more efficient breeding farm would be to just extract the woman's eggs and grow the kids in vats. Something tells me that some sick COG higher up would rather take advantage of the women there instead and try and block that though.

Yup. Thats actually one of the reasons. The other major 1 was simply they did not have the resources to do such a thing.

I found myself falling into the Gears rabbit hole again since I finally played the first and second games and I’m playing Judgement (thanks Game Pass) I played Gears 3 A LOT when I was younger (heck, my dad had gotten it and the guide, got it on launch day). Me and my brother played it a lot and we loved the Carmines and Delta. I had played Gears 4 and 5 too but I’m going to revisit them as I’ve not played them in years

How can there be so many Locust drones when there are so few berserkers to give birth to them? Even if every single berserker was kept out of combat, and spent her entire life breeding, the Locust population would not be that high.
