Does Gears of War Hold Up? | 18 Years Later
Yes, I did pay to license a version of "Mad World" for this video.
Gears of War may be a victim of its own success. Releasing for the Xbox 360 in 2006 from Epic Games, it quickly established itself as the premier third-person shooter and popularizing a unique brand of gritty, crunchy cover-based combat. Every game from that moment on would be doing itself a disservice to not take notes on what Gears of War was doing.
But that has a funny way of making the origin of a great idea seem obsolete when everyone else works to improve and build on it.
That begs the question: Does Gears of War still hold up in 2024? Or does it belong in the past in favor of the games it inspired?

Duke Nukem Forever is the worst game I have ever played
Переглядів 2,6 тис.Місяць тому
Duke Nukem Forever is the worst game I have ever played and it's really not even close. For 15 agonizing years, this game was in development hell, being passed around from studio to studio, engine to engine, with no real plan to make it all come together-just a vague idea of shooting guns and lots of boobs. Am I wrong and this game is truly a hidden gem, cast aside by the masses who fail to und...

    This could also explain how minion, who is supposedly marcus kane, having to use code to communicate in that one loading screen. Since he has no other reason to hide from needles unless they are in sweet tooth's mind then it makes sense. If needles finds marcus kane in his mind he'll kill him and finally become the strongest and most brutal version of himself. But since there is still a sliver of humanity inside of him I can imagine it affects him in some way

    If you’re not a 90s kid you have 0 and I mean 0 context for why this game was universally panned. They abandoned the concept of story for the popularity of online play. And they worse than all tied the content of the game to their servers and online viability. Simply, they sold you a 60$ game that within a 5 yr period went offline and lost 90 percent of its content and playability. THEY WERE ONE OF THE FIRSTS TO PULL THIS. Before FTP, before always online, before day on patches, this was viewed as a kiss of death by reviewers and gamers alike, and that’s why it’s viewed the way it is

    My personal hot takes are: I didnt think the "faction" system of the storyline was bad, but i think they did need to lean in more on the faction aspect by having exlcusive cars that would've been more fitting for the characters. Each faction holds different cars that represent the faction, each with their own strengths and weaknesses the other cars in the faction would cover for. For example, If going for each faction having a designated car for strenght and one for speed, the grimm faction could have juggernaut and reaper, while the dolls has darkside and crimson fury and the clowns would have warthog and kamikaze. Also, iron maiden would have been miles better if it didn't drag for as long as it did, leave the nuke section and the unshielded chase, and scrap the other two points. Same goes for the carnival of carnage level, just scrap the talon section and it would have been better. In fact, scrap talon all together. It was a bitch to control and the maps never really felt like they knew how to utilize it (especially since they always had you go back to the ground to pick anything up) I thought the races were a fun way to switch things up, with the only one i didn't like being the deisel city map one that was too convoluted and tight for its own good. The races had you utilize shortcuts that helped you learn the map more and utilize them in a future match on the same map.

    Then when Gears 2 and 3 rolled around This was one of those games that joined the same lot with Dead Rising, GTA 4, etc. Where on the surface you think it's "boys will be boys" style hypermasculine action until you look beneath the surface and find moments that will genuinely emotionally move you on a profound level.

    My theory regarding the TM story is that the whole thing is a hallucination by Marcus Kane it's shown in TM2 that Marcus and the other characters of TM got into a car accident Marcus Kane and the other characters were on a bus and Calypso, his wife and his daughter Grasshopper were in the car that got hit by the bus And they all go into a coma and dream the same dream together But Marcus Kane is the only one that's aware that the whole thing is a dream and it's not real as stated in his biography and in his ending he wishes to wake up from the dream which shows that he is the hospital and the other TM characters are also laying beside him in a coma This is also backed by the story in TM Head-On which is considered the true sequel to TM2 As for TM Black, Small Brawl, TM3, TM4 and TM PS3 they are set in different universes

    I have been thinking that since Marcus was the winner in the previous year, he was the original driver of Roadkill (the manual states that Roadk1ll's creation is a mystery, Marcus could have abandoned it at the junkyard after his victory, it's not like Calypso would care to tell John Doe about the car's history.) Marcus' wish was to participate again with a giant death machine to have a very good chance at destroying Sweet Tooth's personality (even though he could have wished to escape this world, but he may know Calypso will screw him over unless it is a wish for revenge). He dons the flayed skin of a bull to resemble the demon that wanted revenge on Calypso in TM2, and now Marcus wants revenge on Needles for invading his psyche. Marcus may have seemingly been able to destroy Sweet Tooth, though Needles has a tendency to escape death. I think about the cut to black after the tournament has been won, it's obvious that no ending was planned for Minion, but it could also be the abrupt ending to Black's world, Marcus emerges from that nightmare world and back into the world of TM2/Head-On. His experience in the Black world has left a mark on his mind and remnants of it manifest in the TM2/Head-On world, such as Calypso and Needles resembling their appearances in Black. These are just some shower thoughts I had on this game, lmao.

    When I was a kid, my friends and I were ALLLLL about some TM2. I remember being such a fan of the series that I began dreaming up "what ifs" for TM3. Like characters to include, cars to use, places to battle, etc... I even wrote a letter containing those ideas and sent it to SIE/989 studios. Got a response too. Something to the effect of them not being able to accept those kinds of submissions, can't remember the wording. Reeeeeeally wish I would have kept the letter and response, instead of balling it up and throwing it away in a show of 12yo anger for not being acknowledged... Cus a couple of things in that letter made it into the game. 😂😂😂

    I still argue that the Hammerhead ending of 1/High Octane, was the best in the series. Purely because Dave and Mike asked for babes and got exactly what they wanted. No ticks, no jokes, no cab full of babies and seemingly the glowing endorsement of Calypso himself. Judging by how he laughs and waves them goodbye. I'd still rank Krysta's ending in Head-On higher than her one in TM2/World Tour, as it shows more of how Calypso used to be and the fact the Krysta has to realise that Calypso, is no long the father she loved. Of course Sweet Tooth's ending in TM Black, is absolutely number 1. If only because Sweet Tooth felt like he was at his darkest, no emotion to his murders, it was all part of his calling in life and wanting to be the best, he wouldn't let a curse stop him.
