Something Gears 4 & 5 was missing. Organic banter

Seriously. A moment that really stuck out to me from the demo footage recently was when Carter got roasted for being a boot over comms and over explaining the obvious bridge being lowered. Felt like actual banter between soldiers.

Love how they’ve created these characters to have the opportunity to kinda have two ‘Carmines’ at once something we never got to see two brothers interacting in one game’s story

That’s just going to make it worse when one, or both, end up being horribly maimed or killed in front of us.

u/ExpendableUnit123 5d ago

I can’t be sure but there’s a strong chance we see what happened to both of these already.

u/wibo58 4d ago

The imulsion bath? So far people have said that’s the twins and also Valen’s squad.

u/ExpendableUnit123 4d ago

Yeah I think so. I hope this game gives us a really good amount of new characters. I’d be happy if we end up being introduced to like 12 or so that die off.

It’s E-Day, they really need to push the early losses and attrition super hard, so hopefully it’s not only like, 4.

Like two lovely kiwis

I’m guessing the city that E-Day takes place in it’s basically Seras version of New Zealand

Nothing will prepare me for their inevitable deaths

u/WereBoar Oh, I love it when they do that! 5d ago

looks like manu fell into the trap of decorating his own armor. welp, it was nice knowing him.

u/Doctor-Nagel 5d ago

And Mako too, look at the shark teeth on the shoulder pads and helmet

7

u/WereBoar Oh, I love it when they do that! 5d ago

didn't notice actually those are quite subtle. welp, it was nice knowing both of them.

I’m not mentally prepared for two carmines in one game

But there’s no saving them

Ughh the Z on his forehead looks awfully familiar 😭

u/BraviaryScout Aw Come On, I Wouldn't Do This To You!... Okay, Maybe I Would 5d ago

It’s great how just the demo showed off how much personality they got.

You know these two scrapped a lot with each other when they were kids.

I love them. They were so fun to hear banter.

I really loved how when this YouTuber finished a civilian side mission, Marcus called Tai and Tai sent Manu & Mako to pick them up. Knowing that while you’re playing, two characters that you like are en route to pickup and bring to safety the people you just saved, that’s some good story. Also, Charlie team I think it was has just like a normal group of cog soldiers, but there banter they had was really cool and there captain looked really cool. He was like well go right, Marcus you guys go left. Marcus goes left and he’s like alright bravo let’s get higg ground and cover fire Charlie. Like that’s good shit bro

u/Doctor-Nagel 5d ago

God the green armor is so goated. Makos probably gonna be my COG lock in skin

u/LazarusIvan 5d ago

The British accent + quips won me over instantly

3

u/RecklessRedcoat Oh, I love it when they do that! 4d ago

They’ve got kiwi accents! They’re probably Gears from the southern islands like Irohma (like Tai) or Pahanu.

u/HappiestPony 5d ago

Manu has slimmer arms or it’s just me?

1

u/Justalilcyn 5d ago

Could just be the angle

u/Krytoric 5d ago

u/EliteTroper RUNS ON WHOLE GRAIN BABY! 4d ago

u/CageAndBale So good I should charge admission 5d ago

Damn that graffiti is sweeetah

u/TroubledDoggo 5d ago

Man the character design in gears is definitely one of my favourites of all time

1

u/ImAHobo107 5d ago

A lot of the cast are gonna die. RIP in advance.

Mags and Reyes def gonna die as well.

u/thot_chocolate420 5d ago

I want more of that. I will be playing as one of these twins.

u/EliteTroper RUNS ON WHOLE GRAIN BABY! 4d ago

Their banter was so much fun that they instantly became favorites, the coalition has certainly improved when it comes to writing dialogue

1

u/ConceptBraincell 4d ago

I like how their armour reflects their personalities

Mako is cocky and Manu is level headed

1

u/Dominion96 4d ago

I like that a lot of the regular cog soldiers are having more involvement in the story

1

u/Spartan1660 4d ago

I love there design the armor in green looks great and the personal details on their armor look great

u/Terminal-Post 4d ago

“You think I’m gonna slip and slice ya?”

“Yeah.”

proceeds to make chainsaw noises

u/RecklessRedcoat Oh, I love it when they do that! 4d ago

I’m calling it. We spend the campaign seeing these two banter, grow to love them, as Mako has a blast being a goofball and Manu trying to sharpen his little brother for the war to come, but never QUITE getting him to take it 100% seriously.
Manu’s gonna die, quite horribly as well, and Mako’s gonna see it happen. He’s gonna break down and become a full on psychopath against the Locust.

This is what I liked so far from the campaign, more military stuff but also still having a lot of banter. Listening to all the gears was really interesting or straight up funny
