Drippy-goo-yay, mother-gunker!


It's been more than 5 years since the end of the Gears of War Original Trilogy (OT), and Gears of War 4 finally comes out on Tuesday. I figured I'd finally make a thread for this series of awesome games... I don't know if anyone else in the Zone is getting it, but feel free to talk about the previous games, memories of the series, maybe get some co op going? etc.

I can already hear some sonybros revving up to spam this thread with comments like "TEARS of War" and crap like that, just generally stewing about the fact that we got to play Gears while they got stuck with, ah, Killzone... Allow me to rev up a little something of my own in return: come at me, haters!

I'll also be using this thread to discuss the 2009 "Gearslike" third person shooter, 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand.

“Do you ever feel like you died, but no one told u?” When The Coletrain said that in the final chapter of Gears of War 3, I just had to put the sticks down and think about my life. Then before I knew it my Xboxs auto poweroff setting kicked in, and I was just sitting there still stoned out of my mind in complete silent darkness.

I'm not too far into 50C:BotS just yet, but one thing that stands out to me is how the music seamlessly continues through cutscenes and game menus. That's really cool

If you click the left stick 50 will shout insults, and you can spend excess cash to buy more insults.

Yeah. Apparently there are sections of the single player that have certain elements of Horde mode too.

Yes- with co-op crossplay, apparently.

The enemies in this will randomly switch between speaking Arabic and Russian.

It's cool that Valve managed to singlehandedly infest the entire shooter genre with loot crate AIDS.

I never picked up that Gears 1 remaster so this is the first time I've played Gears MP at 60FPS... :wth:

Are there any regulars here who want the code for Gears 1+2+3+Judgment download. I don't know how many of you own Xbox but it's worth asking
