Drakkenstrike's Gears of War: The Board Game Components Breakdown Video Review in HD

[TheFunnyscool]

its not suppose to have a deep story line the game didnt have a deep story line use the hammer of dawn to destroy our own citys and kill the underground people yeah..... great idea the whole game was about dropping a bomb so i mean gears has never had a deep storyline so this game fits it perfectly and besides think about no game has a deep storyline all board game consist of doin one certain thing ove and over and over

[dukenukem6579]

Were's carmine he should be in the board game

[TIVIS014]

@dukenukem6579 I bet he will be in a character expansion set if the game has done well...they're all about making the money after all.

[hrothgar47]

Excellent!

[Turbine2k5]

Good vid, Jeremy. I agree with the repetitiveness. Even at GenCon, I really didn't see a lot of depth to it. Still haven't played the video game, though!

[Darthvegeta800]

Buying it, looks quite fun and good despite the criticism at the end.

1st class review, as always.

Ordered me a copy from the LGS

[RazemetaZ]

Nice review!

As a big Gears of War fan i think i'm going to buy this one ASAP!

I was planning on buying Doom the boardgame, but it seems to me this is a similar game with a GoW theme.

Do you guys agree? or should i buy Doom cuz its way cheaper?

[TheRaivaaja]

@RazemetaZ Haven't played this one yet but the question is about how okay your group is about coop.

Doom tbg is a semi-coop where one takes the role of the badguys while GoW tbg is full-coop.

My group has enjoyed Doom (it's the game that brought us into boardgaming) but we don't really like the 'screw you' -attitude that playing as the badguy brings. Also Doom isn't really that well balanced.

If your group is okay with semi-coop then I would recommend Descent (it's Doom with upgraded mechanics)

[Beckikaze]

@TheRaivaaja I don´t agree that Descent ist the better balanced game in comparison with DOOM.

[TheRaivaaja]

@Beckikaze Haven't played Descent but that is something I have heard from people and after playing DOOM I wouldn't be surprised if it were true.

I don't find DOOM to be that well balanced and if Descent if even less balanced then it must be really imbalanced.

[Beckikaze]

@TheRaivaaja DOOM is very tough, that´s true. But with the official rules out of the expansion it is possible to make it easier for the marines. Nonetheless it is a very hard ride for them but in a survival style of game it should be that hard, so that every step could be your last. In Descent the chests really ruin everything. Before getting to them the OL can kill them all. After getting the first treasures, the heroes become too powerful (and 4 hours playtime left -.-). 2nd Edition FTW!

[Beckikaze]

Thanks for your review Jeremy, but I just want to know in which way this game is equal (in its fun and replayability-factor) to Castle Ravenloft/Wrath of Ashardalon. What I have seen so far seems to be a very improved effort on the AI-system.

I will buy it anyway. But I just want to know what you think about it according to the flaws CR and WoA have.

[mrttwo]

FFG make the best board games

[Manunited1441]

looks fun but i heard it is expensive its like 60 dollars

[igame4fun]

@Manunited1441 Same price as a copy of Gears of war 3

[SuperRandomshit101]

great review but may i ask how you got this already ? i thought it comes out 30th of august its only the 22nd ??

[igame4fun]

@SuperRandomshit101 reviewers get it early

[TonganJedi]

Well put together, concise game play explanations, and quality editing. Great job!

[WelcomeToZomboCom]

uh-oh looks like this one's flop :(

[AH900112]

His intros were always good, but this one were the first I skipped, cause why would I want to see gameplay.

[skroful]

man love the intro

[ASFx2600]

Thanks for this video. I love co op games like this.

[Scelous]

You're really getting better and better at these intros.

[Shirotora1979]

thanks for the info. Think i will stick with my copy of Decent then. Was hoping this would be a sci-fi version of that but oh well.

[blastpop]

I'm passing on this one.

[Kennymiester]

Good review. Pretty much summed up what I had already started to think of the game myself. I'll just wait until one of my friends gets it and leave some room on my shelves.

[oskerthegrouch]

Is that a version of the music from the Dune movie?

[Chamberlain2]

Good video.

Game looks.... meh.

[castagnopolis]

Good review, I never expected much from this game, I don't think is bad, and maybe I will buy it in the future, but it looks like an improved version of castle ravenloft mechanics. Thanks for clearing the rules and mechanics.
