You should make a video about the coalition banning and blocking anyone who criticized specially the OGs who play the game as of late, bring awareness to this, these developers are narcissistic

Finally someone brings it up! Felt like I was crazy, gears 5 trying to backstory/explain away the locusts, oh yeah humans built them secretly and they escaped, built a massive underground empire, tamed the monsters/animals, built the massive infrastructure we see in gears 2 AND grew their population to atleast that of 3 times the entire human race in a measly 79 years? Yeah CAP gears 2, to me atleast with the collectables, temples etc gave the vibe they had been under ground for hundreds possibly even thousands of years and new hope was just some sick human sideshow made before locusts where even widely known, I also hate the shoddy "corpsers, brumaks, his work" In the novels if I'm not mistaken there is references to seran fairytales featuring creatures fitting those descriptions and how I interpreted that personally was they were hollow creatures that had existed for a long time naturally (could be in tactics Prescott is reffering to the taming and weaponizing of them but it seems to me he's hinting they were created) The coalition just have such poor attention to the already existing detail in terms of the campaign and lore, it seems to me their core focus was always gameplay and multiplayer (and whoring out the brand name for sweet dollar bills) epic worked so hard and passionately on gears of war and its lore, I'm sure secretly alot of epics members that worked on gears shed tears over what she's become (tears im sure are promptly wiped away with all that fortnite money 🤣)

The whole imulsion thing with Ukkon was definitely head scratching

When Kantus revive other Locusts they instantly heal them by activating the imulsion within them through their singing. So Ukkon probably figured out a better way to harness this ability and outfitted drones with the necessary equipment to do so. If he lived he probably could have even tamed the lambent virus so it wouldn't harm Locusts.

The history between Sid and Ukkon most likely stems from when Sid was a guard at new hope, as Ukkon is a sire, even if they didn't properly meet it's understandable that he wouldn't be a fan of anyone involved with the projects going on there let alone the people in charge of keeping him locked up.

0:05 theirs me!

Is no one gonna talk about the expanded lore ukkon and how that explains why he can speak fluent English since he retained his consciousness after being one of the first sires a successful one at that and how he was patient zero for rust lung and explains that imulsion can destroy things yes but also has enhancing properties to it and he somehow figured out how to use it making him invisible to some extent its just many of his questions can be answered through reading the comics

While RTS games really aren't my taste, i do appreciate the Coalition for attempting to broaden the horizons of Gears of War. And i can somewhat see an alternate timeline in which Gears started of as RTS rather than 3rd person shooter. Although i do wish they used this formula for Judgement rather than Tactics, mostly because of the expansive customization this game has.

I remember in the run up to gears 2 and 3 release one of the mates used to refer to Rod Ferguson only as the "ginger liar" 😂 I was that into following the games industry as a whole then but my god did that turn out prophetic

A game that spits on gears of war as a whole

For the case of new hope if you listen to the cutscene in gears of war 2 right before the sores are awaken you can hear niles talking about moving subjects to Mount Kadar so its not like they just randomly decided that the locist were gonna just be created there as a last second plot twist imo

I believe that Omaha decided to use the red tint to the armor to show that Gabe's Insurgency splits from the COG and act as camouflage due to the red sand of Vasgar. Or he really likes the color red... Something that bugged me about the game is the amount of professionalism from the recruitable soldiers. I am not asking for them to be annoying blabbering mouths, but I would think that a bunch of Civilians would have more to say instead of sounding like professional soldiers. I am dumbfounded about the amount of character assassination aimed at Chairman Prescott. Yes, he is a politically minded and standoffish character, but he was still a man that was able to contemplate decisions normal people are not comfortable making. I think the Hammer of Dawn damaged more than solved, but the decision mirrored the desperation of the humans. I still think laying the creation of the Locust at the feet of the entire of the COG is logically unfair, and there needs further context to how the COG attempted to shut down Niles' research. (I grew to hate Del more, when there is a collectable you can find where Del criticizes Prescott's decision to use the Hammer of Dawn).

I would like to know what u think about hivebusters dlc

Does anybody want a Gears Tactics game set in the Pendulum Wars? Because that actually sounds good.

I wish the Therons used more weapons then their torque bows

You want to know the true locust original Miners turn sire Their kids turn Drones, Kantus and Boomers Queen Myrrah was a former scientist That betrayed Niles and freed the Locust And led them That makes since

As someone who played XCOM & XCOM 2, Gears Tactics was a fun enjoyable experience and much better than Gears 4 and 5. It did mechanics better than XCOM like having 3 AP to use instead of 2 and a better movement and cover system that gives you a preview on if that cover let's you attack a enemy or have a view on them but can't shoot until they're in better range. It also has a great character and weapon customisation that definitely needs to be added to future Gears of War games and Gears 6 to evolve more.

Also, just how old was Reyna?? It was explained how that Myrrah had magical anti-aging powers, so let’s say she was born around 100 BE. When the hell did she give birth to Reyna??

Social justice keeps digging itself in gears of war.

Amazing video as always. I have been going through your entire GOW playlist and so far your views on the franchise mirror my own. Great stuff. Thank you for clearing up that Prescott did not know about New Hope and that this game retcons that. I like how you addressed the fact that the game kept introducing characters and hinting at their backstories which seemed more interesting than the game's story itself. Please tell me that you are doing Gear Hivebusters next. The story of that is even more ridiculous than Gears 5. Looking forward to that.

2:34 in real life that Drone would already have killed that guy

I feel like It would make more sense if ukkon made a better version of imulsion that was able to power up his soldiers, but it just backfired and they slowly turned into lambents. It'd be kind of cool to fight against a mutated lambent ukkon!

So immulsion goes from this deadly parasite, to the "Nano machines, son" of the Gears franchise? Dafuq?

Ukkon isn't really immortal Dim bulletholes may heal But if he was chainsawed yeah he's done

15:00 the easy explanation is that the new gears are only propaganda of shit that never happened, so there could be multiple versions, just like in the battletech universe

Started playing this week, and I really enjoy it. I want Sid Redburn have his own trilogy XD

I’ll be honest I just went on a binge of your content, such an underrated channel! I love your takes on gears!

I'm a huge (Firaxis) XCOM fan so I really enjoyed Gears Tactics, I think they knocked it out of the park gameplay wise. It's a shame you're forced to play an increasing number of filler missions to progress, that really did stop me finishing it, I got fed up. I think my only other complaint really was the way they handled gear, I think it got too granular, I had to spend a couple of minutes before every mission shuffling gear around so my current squad had the best stuff.

Love your videos man keep it up!

Similar to Judgment: Not “bad,” but not quite worth the full price. With that said, the ability to create my own squad of specialized ragtag Gears is pretty damn cool

Anything that has to do with the diaz family can never be expected to be good

Nice man video

19:45 Exactly this is Star Wars the last jedi problem all over again

i’d like to see what this man thinks of the Hivebuster DLC

At least they made these few characters with a badass look, especially the one-eyed one. Too bad that ridiculous Kait will probably still be the protagonist of the next one. WHY THE HELL WOULD THEY CHANGE THE GEARS OF WAR CREATION STUDIO?? IT'S HORRIBLE TO SEE THE GEARS WITH THIS POSITIVIST, INFANTILIZED AND MEANINGLESS MASK.

for me the stuff ukkon does with immulsion could have worked, if that were isolated to ukkon himself (excludeing the healing factor). since the game already tries to paint him as some genious he could have been used as the locust equivelent of adam, except he does the reverse of what adam did during the pen wars, goes from the lab to the frontline due to the desperate times. he could have been myrrahs chief scientists and one that adam before e day were conversing and exchangeing ideas with do end the lambent plauge, shareing their own research to save both of their pepoles from anniahlation. yet time would eventually run out and it was on ukkons orders that adams lab was attacked, both to take him and his research. in the meantime ukkon would experimetn on himself to find ways to fight back the lambent infection. he would succed in that, but his counter messure could only stall or push back, never eliminate the infection. then he was ordered to the front, and he began the research into seeing if immulsion could be used to enhance the performance of the horde yet still be withing the limits that his countermessure could contain, with himself as the first subject due to already high exposure to both. this never got beyond him (and perhaps his personal guard) and when you eventually kill him he curses the man he holds resposible for his pepoles suffering, adam pheonix, perhaps to maintain the secret he is killed before he can properly say adams name, yet it is enough for prescott to connect the dots in the debrief.

I wish Ukkon gets a bigger spotlight. His death was SUCH a RIPOFF. They really need to explore him, flesh him out and give him and his genetic contributions to the Locust Horde a place in the lore. Not to mention, they need to make him a Multiplayer character.

Gears 4 5 tactics needs to be uncannon

Update on my Gears of War Journey I decided to continue playing Gears of War 2 on my Xbox One since the two batteries finally died and the 360 keeps turning itself off everytime a roach walks over it. I did noticed something though....the game is now running in 60fps. Why the fuck doesn't Halo games do this? Oh let me guess 343 wants people to buy MCC and hated the idea of Halo fans enjoying games that they didn't lay a finger on.

I don't really know enough about the lore to know all the inconsistencies, but seeing it explained damages the gesture story to me I used to think it was pretty ok. I like sid and gabe I bought their relationship, and I found gabe relatively likeable and sid cool.

Oh yeah, Omaha. What's your conclusion about Tactics' soundtrack?

How did they not think to put that level of customization in Gears 5, if we don’t get that amount of actual customization in the next one it will be an upset

Excited for this video!!!

I wonder what u think of the hivebuster campaign

18:40 the therons look better in cutseen then in game play

Tus vídeos son una joya, te mereces muchísimas mas vistas y subs. 👍

The two people who disliked this were the Locust who use the wonder drug version of emulsion.

OMAHA16 is so damn underated!!

Nice tactics tc haaahaahahahhaaahhaha

18:20 *Invincible title card plays*

15:40 I criticize about the imulsion locust zealots too, someone told me that ukkon is just a crazy mad scientist who does inhumane experiments... or at least something similar.

Honestly, I feel like TC was told "Make an XCOM style gears game" by the bigwigs and did what they could. Despite how new it is, there's so much less available to the player than XCOM 2. Can't change your Gear's bodies or skin tone, only four helmets when GoW has like twenty different helms, can't change voice, etc. That and every playthrough is essentially the same with VERY minimal variation, save for the post-finale stuff. It feels watered down, BUT it's still fun. Doesn't hold a candle to XCOM at all.

Could you imagin if bioshock kept making games after infinite?

Gears 5 Operation 6 thoughts?

You mean there's a divide between the Gears and the Stranded. The Stranded being long time fans who were promised a Gears game that never delivered. It's actually a pretty cool analysis of real world vs lore.

Awesome video man cant wait tho see more of you also wat did you think ? of GGZII being permanently banned voor exposing the rotten Gears Of War community en Coalition hypocrisy

0:07 I think the OG Theron head from gears 2 and 3 was better The new teeth is good but the whole head The new head and chin is swelled up in a gross way

they need to just make emergence day games rather than try to add story and have the "swarm"

Man thank you! I cant wait for the new book Ephyra rising to be hot garbage and spit in the face of the books and first three games. Im so close to just giving up on this franchise.

If want Ukkon good Explain how he does everything

I despite and hate the coalition but this game is definitely a step in the right direction since it opens the IP to new forms. There needs to be a Gears of War base building RTS like Dawn of War, Company of Heroes, or Men of War.

This game gave me that long lost feel of the first game, too bad it is still a bit budget title... I wish this game would be the actual 5th game in 3rd person instead of the 5th game we had... 😐 PS hivebusters and the first chapter were good

I know it retconned a lot from the books but I love the crap out of the new lore in tactics. I find it a suitable replacement. Ukkon has to be one of my personal favorite characters.

They should have just reskinned XCOM.

Gears of War 1: So Damn Good. Gears of War 2: Fantastic. Gears of War 3: Excellent. Gears of War Judgment: Good . Gears of War 4: Meh... Gears 5: Not as near good. Gears Tactics: Terrible.

This game is more Gears of War than Gears 4 and 5, even with that story anxious to connect with the new ones, thing that I hate

Obviously this proves they don't know shit about gears of war

Wait wait wait. Imulsion drugs? Thats stupid and completely ignored the plot of 3.

I hate that stupid hair cut

can they just say gears 4,5, and tactics aren't cannon ??

Gears 4 and 5 are amazing games. The Coalition is doing awesome work. I get so tired of the dudes just shitting on them. I don't understand their complaints, what is it that they find so bad about the games? The gameplay is solid and very much Gears. The story is entertaining but more than that very personal and human. Multiplayer hasn't let me down. I just don't get their complaints.

honestly, this game have no sense...

I never understand this guys mentality when it comes to any game that isn’t just putting gears 1 and 2 on some pedestal. I mean seriously. “The story is bland ” “The story is too compex” Dude PICK a criticism

Um.. gears of war 1's story wasn't good at all tbh. Its not until the 4th act that we find out that the resanator doesn't work and resort to using the light mass bomb to destroy the locusts. If they wanted to they could've gone straight for the lightmass bomb without screwing around and ended the game there..
