  • I dont like both of them, re because it's too many action but sadly not too original. Gears because for me is just boring

  • Resident evil 5 in my opinion is a much better game. Gears of war feels like i had played it a million times. Resident evil 5 is better but im not saying it is the best of the resident evil games

  • "let's talk about storyline" *Sheva's butt*

  • you really can't compare these two.....

  • Resident evil stinks gears of war rules

  • Well both games suck but if I had had to pick one I would have to got with resident evil cuz the game wasn't really that bad its just that it was a huge disappointment compared to re4 while gears 2 on the other hand is complete shit and so is 3. The whole gears series is so god damn generic and total fucking garbage!!!

  • Gears wins for me because in RE5 when you fought the El Gigante I was pissed cuz all you did was shoot at it, I was expectin RE4 gameplay but, was given crap. So uneventful *sigh*

  • If we only take this video into account, Resident Evil 5 is the clear winner. What i don't like is that RE isn't a horror game like it should have been.

  • gears 2 has amazing online whats the other guy on about..i played gears 2 online tdm for months

  • damn right Resident Evil 5 is better than Gears 2... i played RE5 like 2 1/2 times and i played Gears only maybe like half way through it and got bored. the story just didn't excite me. it just felt really cleche..

  • All I need to say is two words.GEARS TWO! RE 5 sucks I have not laid a finger on that game ever since I got past the story once.I played gears' story 3 times and multy till my heart gave out.Gears owns!

  • gears of war

  • IGN - Please bring back these  'Grudge Matches'!!!!!!!! :)

  • ok so what we have here are 2 biased assholes that cant acept that the two games are nothing alike i personally think res has sucked since 4 and has gone to far from its roots but comparing res5 to gears 2 is like comparing a table to a window the two are nothing alike.

  • whoever the guy is that says res5 is better than gears 2 needs to get a good taste in games because res has sucked since 4.

  • Enter: goo.gl\k3U6R to get Gears of War 3.

  • @SyrJirk I totally agree

  • resident evil series can never beat gears series it is so boring move foward stop shoot wtf

  • you can tell the RE 5 guy won because the GOW 2 guy was getting pissed off

  • Boobs > Both

  • its not right its like street fighter vs call of duty

  • @someguywithgames not really theyre both 3rd person shooteres and "monster" games lol

  • what the hell? its so obvious they made the gears guy sound like some idiot and the resedint evil guy sound like a genius. LOL at the resedint evil game play. you have some weird red line , and you stop to shoot. and LOL at resident evil being prettier than gears gears 1 ( yeah i know i said gears 1) resident evil> graphics.

  • @OshawaStateOfMind that weird red light is a laser sight genius. and it's a survival horror game. It's gonna play significantly different from a run n gun shooter. You haven't even played the game apparently. Shut up.

  • wow how is this even a challenge GOW2 is one of the best game out there

  • oh yeah, of course. Gears of war 2 is a better survival horror game. Who is that fuckin idiot who thinks resident evil 5 is a better action game than gears of war 2.

  • @tjdgo123 LMAO ur right never play a single GoW game but I watched many videos of it!! xDD..Definitely its wayyy better than RE5 and its not hard to say its also more scarier than RE5!! XDD

  • Resident Evil is better!!!!!!!!!

  • holy shit! the guy that is talking about how resident evil 5 is a better action game than GoW 2 is a fucking retard

  • WTF they said the gears 2 dom and mario was dom but at gears vs halo they said the story for gears 2 was great

  • two words: COLE TRAIN

    cant beat him no matter what. no other game has a better character. hes funny as hell in that pro sport player kind of way.

    Gears has better voice acting and the dialogue is great. sometimes its wicked corny which is funny other times its engaging and serious and keeps you wondering whats gonna happen next

  • mercenaries mode is so frustrating, playing through campaign 2 times is so boring even with a friend in coop, playing 2nd time gears 2 is extremely boring as well, but horde mode supports teams up to 5, so sometimes it's actually fun because you can have a great conversation.

  • resident evil 5 is way better than shitty gears of war 2,end of. face it xbox,we're better than you.

  • @7860izzy you do realize that xbox has resident evil 5 as well, right?

  • @7860izzy

    Resident evil 5 is a multiplatform game and looks even better on 360 than on ps3, look for the lens of truth comparison if you don't believe me. That aside, Gears of war 2 is a way better game.

  • resident evil 5 is not an action game, its back to its roots of running past everything to save ammo

  • gears of war ftw

  • Resident Evil 5 has some god awful controls and the whole action game thing is bullSHIT.

  • i like Resident evil 4 but i think they just messed up on re5, gears of war 2 is way better than re5

  • I'm so glad that IGN doesn't do these stupid videos. And btw Gears 2 is better.

  • THIS IS WHY RESIDENT EVIL 5 SUCKED IT BECAME GEARS OF WAR IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE DEADSPACE at least i can still play the first 3 games and get a real resident evil experience not this shooter crap with no zombies

  • gow2 best game eva madde

  • GEARS OF WAR 2 !!

  • Whwn they make RE 6,they will do like this:

    "Claire wakes up in a place,wheres actually a spaceship,and then,she gets a alies weapon,and fight Alies-Zombies.....And next,Wesker comes back half zombie half alies.... PERFECT"

    Stupid people,Resident Evil stoped beiging Resident Evil for a long time,change the fucking title of the game to,"Poitless Gameplay".

  • Re5 was pointless,i hope OPeration raccoon city be better then this Crap...

  • thumbs up if you knew gears would win before you clicked this video :D

  • i dont even consider resident evil 4 and 5 resident evil games..theres no zombies and theres a differnt plot to whats goin on..resident evil ended with the dumb fixed camera angles and the slow paced boring bullshit..resident evil began and got good in my opinoun when it got action oriented..it might just be me not being able to play 15 year old games after playing hardcore fast paced action games and then walkin around halways and shit lol..im sure the original reisdident evil is good..but idli

  • @residentevilfan1ful its really very simple to explain how it SOLD so much. you see when people see brands they like they gravitate towards it, this is called brand recognition, which is whats wrong with this world, never wanna try something new. and brand loyalty also factors in, example is fanboys of each system, they will buy what they like and trash everybody elses idea. i loved the re series and i bought this but traded it in due to horrible story writing. and dont get me started on sheva.

  • I own a 360 and I like RE 5 better. It has a better story than GoW2, the gameplay is almost the same but shooting is better in RE5 but you can move while shooting in gears of war. Bosses of both games were great. Graphic wise I think they are both equal. I liked RE5's sound effects and score better than Gears the voice acting is good in both games. But RE5 has more replay value and more extras and has a campaign with multiplayer unlike gears that has a totally separate multiplayer mode.

  • WTF.

    You can't compare Gears to Resident evil.... Both completely different gameplay..

  • resident evil 5 is way better then gears of war 2

  • re5 was scary... i might would think re5 would be better than GOW2

  • I was just wondering What the fuck our we doing comparing a horror vs a 3rd person shooter (I know Resi is 3rd person and a shooter) Gears wins

  • Vejam aqui como ficar com munição infinita

    No Resident Evil 2

    /watch?v=uZ3zJYWZFYk

  • gow2 is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better than resident evil 5

  • next ignorance episode : BF3 vs MWarfail 3

  • Ignorance is written with "IGN"

    IGN...just sucks at game reviews.

  • Mmm...look at he xbox.com califications...Re5 has like 10 000....GoW3 has 60 000

  • ive noticed the xbox guy is always an asshole compared to the ps3 guy well mostly

  • RE5 straight up sucked. The series went out with a dud.

  • @MultiThomas8 The series isn't over with yet.

  • @gohanss19 i hope not i wanna play the revelations but its only going on the 3ds. i dont have a 3ds cuz i hate 3d and i dont wanna buy a handheld thats gonna be remade or upgraded a year later.

  • The only thing that I complain about RE5 is the bloody low light laser.

  • RE5 IS BETTER IN EVERY WAY

  • @Carlos2006ful except for controlles

  • if you want to kill things that don't move fast get Resident Evil, If you want to kill things that will shoot back at you get Gears of War

  • @alonso171000 lol more like if you want an easier and shorter game get Gears of war. and fyi re 5 does have enemies that shoot at you but that shoot at you but that's not it's focus since it's not another military game.

  • gears is god. resident evil sucks. if you disagree go suck a couple pimple covered dicks

  • @skaterman1106 too bad gears wouldn't even be the badass game you love if it wasn't for resident evil. and i'm saying that as a gears fan. not saying you have to like RE but don't be such a little kid with your fanboyism, at least appreciate what it's done for so many games.

  • Resident evil is old. The originals were good even with the old grphics of the playstation. You could always hear one of those damn lickers just around the corner.

    Now it's just redone again and again. It's getting to look like left for dead. Only left for dead does the look 30 times better.

  • @shade231 redone again and again? you have no idea. you have that response from someone who hasn't played re since re 3 which is sad because left for kiddies took a lot of shit from re. lol the city, zombies, even the online mode from from outbreak. left for dead looks like shit so idk what your smoking but one things for sure you really don't know what a good game is. LFD doesn't nearly have the good story and gameplay from RE. the only reason it's popular is cause of online and little kids :)

  • RE 5 scared the shit out me.

  • why are they comparing 2 completely different games?

  • @kmj0831 Just so we can argue but which is better as seen everywhere in the comments : /

  • how the fuck can anyone say that resident evil 5 is better than gears 2. ive have both and i could only play the RE campaign once and it got boring as hell. the gears capaign is a lot more funner, ive beaten it like 5 times. RE doesnt even have a ranked online match and mercinaries is just playen gay. and come on gears has a freaken gun with a lancer, how isnt that BADASS!!!!!!

  • re5 crap gears is way better.

  • re5 is better with graphics but the fuckin gameplay is boring as shit.

  • 1) gears 1

    2) re 5

    3) gears 2

    so here, re5 wins for me

  • RE was a good franchise but it got boring after a while, Gears is better made and more engrossing.

  • Of course, the Combine wins...

  • that marcus fienex makes chris redfield look skinny lol

  • gears of war may beat re5 but it will never beat re4

  • @resievilcharlie it doesn't beat RE5 though (they're both totally different but still)

  • Resident Evil 5's realistic graphics might make GoW2's look cartoony but it's gameplay is not on par IMO it's painfully slow. I loved RE4 und naturally I'll love its derivates (RE5, GoW, Dead Space, etc.) but if I had to choose one of these as my least favorite it's RE5. I'm only reviewing the gameplay and not plots nor mp quality.

  • As a pure third-person shooter, GOW 2 might have a slight lead. As an overall game though, I'd say RE5 is the better game. Either way, RE4 trumps both of them easily.

  • gears 2!!!

    

  • Ryan Geodes, you're a fucking retard.

  • did they switch opinions in the middle? btw GEARS 2 ALL THE WAY!

  • Resident Evil 5 is way better because I played both games start to finish played multiplayer in both and got all trophies. Resident Evil 5 has better graphics and does have more replay value. I played through Resident Evil 5 like 6 times and I still play the multiplayer today. Gears of War to me is something trying to shine the best it can but it just cant find the light. LOL :-)

  • @HiPsTeRTooL35 u sir are a very bad judge gears of war is acually chllanging i could go around with a pistol and not give a crap about the enemies in resident evil

  • gears 1 2 3 are better lol

    

  • resident evil is more great

  • mepelan la riata estamejo rpacman

  • Resident Evil all way!! the new gamers of course they gonna pick gears but resident evil is a franchise for 15 years now. and an amazing one. i will never turn away from RE. im 19 ive played it since 1996.

  • @mortal91ify

    ...So that means you were only 4 years old when you played RE1?! What kind of parents would let their 4 year-old kid play a violent horror game?

  • @Jagged85 i know what you mean but my uncle that was 20 at the time is to blame. but strangely i was not afraid to play it. but it did scare the hell outta me since i was so young i beat it on easy it took me 29hr lmao. still got my old memory card.

  • @mortal91ify exactly the same story with me. Even though the horror seems to have completely disappeared from the series, it still has the characters and the story that made the franchise.

  • @NTom92 exactly!! u sir know your stuff. i hope re6 brings back the horror we all know and love. even though the story of the last one was great i still missed the horror. part 4 still had it but not so much.

  • @mortal91ify well RE is an awesome franchise but since RE4 it turned into shit, I would choose GW anytime, plus the RE franchise doesn't look like it's going back to the roots of horror.

  • @predalien1995 dude...i posted that comment a while back. besides i like gow but i will choose RE anyday. it's kinda what made me a gamer. and yeah RE4&RE5 were not scary but they were not shit. both had great story's. re4 had it's scary moments like the regenarator. re5 was more action so yeah it was not cool but still great games. RE6 capcom said it's once again will be a darker and horror game. oh and that comment is 2months old.....so yeah.

  • @mortal91ify

    ive played RE1,RE4 and RE5 and i got to say that i liked RE4 the most, but i really liked RE5s co-op

  • @mortal91ify Dude, it's not like I insulted you or anything I was just saying the truth, I personally didn't get scared at all by RE4 and RE5 and it was retarded that they didn't have any zombies while GoW had a lot of action and I really enjoyed that, but like the video said none of the three are actually great.

  • @predalien1995 what are u talking about..nobody said anything about being or getting insulted. all i said was my opinion while respecting yours. and if you meant about that the post is old. i figured why reply to an old comment nvm. ohh your saying it's the truth. but it's your truth(opinion) because RE4&RE5 sold very well. maybe you don't like it but many did.(no insult). anyway we need to end the discussion i don't really like debating stuff on a comment section it's lame. good day sir.

  • @predalien1995 gears of war isn't scary either so why are you judging re 4/5 as a survival horror game? even if it's not scary it's an overall better action game than gears. just because re 4/5 isn't scary doesn't mean "OH shit gears wins" and to to day re 4 and 5 was stupid and praise gears is sorta insulting to gears since it wouldn't even be here without re 4...so that's sorta typical kiddie-like opinions bro.

  • @Unblacken The difference is that gears doesn't come from survival horror franchise and in fact I didn't enjoy at all RE4 and RE5 they were simply too ridiculou, but I don't see why GoW wouldn't be here without RE4.

  • @predalien1995 the truth is yes resident evil 4 and 5 are not survival horror games. but they are very great games and re 4 is just awesome and not ridiculous in anyway, re 4 was a very innovative game. gears, dead space, newer red faction titles, shadows of the damned and so many more are influenced by re 4. you should really watch interviews by the gears of war developers. they love re 4 and they put a lot of it in their games. too bad their fans are unappreciative little kids. sad :/

  • @Unblacken RE4 wasn't innovative in any way, neither is gears; Dead Space only had the dismemberment innovation. There was a developer of dead space 2 who loved minecraft... yet I fail to see how minecraft influenced the title, the same applies for GoW and RE4

  • @predalien1995 Re4 was very innovative in many ways. it really brought action to survival horror. lol dead space was looked as re 4 in space. dead space had no stupid dismemberment innovation that was already done. and that should not even be considered a innovation lol i don't think you know what innovative means. re 4 and killswitch both inspired gears. hell a lot of gears enemies are rip offs from re 4. too bad you can't see past your new gen games.

  • @Unblacken Lol, I have been playing videogames since the super nintendo came out; and RE4 is NOT a survival horror it's merely an action game, please do tell me a game with the dismemberment kills before dead space (I can only think of 1). It's possible killswitch inspired gears but not RE4; I pity you for attempting to save a dead franchise; RE died when RE4 was released.

  • @predalien1995 re 4 can be considered survival horror. don't tell me your one of those n00bs who would call dead space survival horror and not re 4? re 4 had great scares and when i 1st played it i was very tensed but not like the 1st games.& there have been dismemberment kills way before DS. Turok evolution? you prob wouldn't know anything about that game since it's not popular. I pity you for not accepting your game is inspired by a game too good for you. Re is far from dead. just with kiddies

  • @Unblacken It;s not survival horror, the 1st dead space scared me ONCE while RE4 didn't scare me at all; but I confess I was scared shitlesswith the first three (and the remake of the 1st was great). Turok evoultion had dismembered models but it really wasn't focused on that sort of killing; if you are resorting to games with dismemberd models..man, even the 1st mortal combat had those. RE is economically alive but at least to me it has turned into a very boring franchise.

  • @predalien1995 dead space is ehh boring. re 4 is way harder than gears and dead space combined. turok had an item that was used to dismember people. you prob don't know what it is and are acting like you know what you are talking about. even before there were items to dismember that's why i stated it's not innovation...cause that's stupid. RE is way more interesting than gears or dead space. more original and more skill. offsprings don't beat the true originals. Re>dead space>gears

  • @Unblacken You aren't even reading my comments now... so... yeah. To end this let me say that RE4 wasn't hard, wasn't scary, wasn't innovative, it's shit. Dead space and GoW weren't hard, SLIGHTLY scary for dead space and had even smaller innovation. RE4 is FAR from the original RE franchise so I wouldn't call it an original. In other words maybe you should start some SERIOUS gaming before even attempting to save your already lost RE franchise.

  • @predalien1995 well your comments have no real facts bro. Re4 wasn't real hard but harder than gears and dead space...yes :) it was very innovated. it introduced the over the shoulder 3rd person style which many games got influenced. do the research. watch video reviews or read about it. It's not hard to see why re 4 influenced i mean the gameplay from many games looks so similar. and re 4 is very original. you just hate that it's true so you try to deny it as hard as you can. check and mate :)

  • @Unblacken Jesus Christ... the over the shoulder view was introduced since PSX... they are similar, but it's like saying Halo influenced CoD or Crysis; they are just genres...so, yeah.

  • @predalien1995 can you even name a legitimate game that had a real over the shoulder view? and i'm not talkig about 3rd person shooters. i'm talking about a real over the shoulder 3rd person shooter. of course halo didn't influence cod or crysis...you can thank games like doom and golden eye...so yeah explain sir :3

  • @Unblacken Getsu Fuuma Den gave a over the shoulder view since the NES, RE4 only made the over the shoulder view famous (pretty much like dead space made the dismemberment famous).

  • @predalien1995 that's not even a 3rd person shooter. i remember playing that and saw first person view points. it's a ARPG game. come on dude sorry but re 4 created the over the shoulder view point. which explains why games like dead space, vanquish, red dead redemption, shadows of the damned, newer red faction titles and yes gears of war as well followed. re 4 is one of the most influential games of all time. not only for new age survival horror but for action games as well. check and mate :)

  • @Unblacken Google the game, it is OFFICIALY an over the shoulder shooter (It was only during a few moments but still counts) and 3rd person view was very famous when RE4 came out. (3rd person view and over the shoulder are practically the same thing).

  • @predalien1995 no it's not. it's an action rpg with some 1st person modes. re 4 created the over the shoulder view dude. just accept it. your games have re 4 influence. not saying u have to like it but at least appreciate what it's done. 3rd person and and over the shoulder view are definitely not the same. that just shows me how much you don't understand over the shoulder view. no wonder your completely oblivious to the fact that re 4 influenced gears.

  • @Unblacken No it was not, it's obvious you don't even know Getsu Fuuma Den. I'm done speaking with your ignorant ass.

  • @predalien1995 haha yeah i do buddy. if anyone was ignorant it was you. but at least now you know that re 4 kicks ass and is quite a force to reckon with.

  • @Unblacken I have yet to meet a professional gamer who enjoyed the game...so yeah...

  • @predalien1995 lol i am one since i do love original games of all types. if you meet Cliff Bleszinski (developer for gears) he can tell you how much he loved the game and how it was an influence to his game.

  • @Unblacken Well... one of Dead Space 2 developers loves Minecraft...so yeah.

  • @predalien1995 lol there's a difference between liking a game and having it influence your game. cliff liked and used re 4 as an influence to his game. he also like mario and zelda but we know those didn't influence gears. check and mate

  • @Unblacken ...."checkamate"... it's called checkmate; and by the way RE4 still sucks and is one of the worst game I've ever played... so yeah.

    

  • @predalien1995 haha i know. you obviously couldn't tell i was only adding emphasis. hence that's why some people say it like that. lol re 4 only sucks to little unappreciative gears kiddies like you. re 4 kicks ass from start to finish. it's just not your kind. i'll only admit gears is way more overrated but the true better game is re 4....so yeah :p check and mate

  • @Unblacken Dude... I don't even like GoW... but it's definetely better than RE4...

  • @predalien1995 then why are you even here ranting about how u dislike re 4? doesn't quite make sense. and nope re 4 destroys all :) idk what games you are into but your prob a kiddie into all the kiddie mainstream crap like halo that's so easy. well take care kid

  • @Unblacken yeah take care... Im 32 by the way and I don't like Halo since Halo Wars was released.

  • @mortal91ify you have no life

  • @bravehunter117 HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!! you english wanker..your being a silly lil turd.

  • i think that resident evil 5 wins but ign you guys really taking this shit to seriusly.....

  • the best on vehicle segment is uncharted 2 train, tat shit was epic

  • Yeah, this video sucks.

  • This is like comparing Halo 3 to G.o.W. 2...

    If G.o.W. 2 was RE5...

  • gears of war wins

  • GoW vs RE5? Lol, GoW clearly wins cause RE5 is a piece of shit and sucks nuts!

  • What the fuck.

    Obviously Gears wins?

    I mean I'm being completely serious, even if I've never played each game I would know GoW is better..

  • @OriginalYTName both games are free lol download them and try them out(depends on computer)if you got computer from year 2006 to 11 you good

  • left 4 dead 1 is way better scary wise. but gun wise l4d2

  • I looked at the bad breath ad and it actully wasnt bad.

  • pie beats both of these

  • Rofl Wtf i got a 5 min ad !!

  • the description says zombies or locust...

    well its clear that LOCUST win becuase they are the ones with the fkin gns!!

    and what are the zombies armed with?

  • gears vs resident evil 5 = gears coming out on top

  • resident evil 5 was a gays zombie game, now if you want to enjoy killing some zombies you should play left 4 dead 2.

  • fuck the guy how said gears of war 2 sucked resident evil 5 is relly gay

  • I played resident evil 5 never beat it it was a piece of shit i have to go now play gears campaign mode on impossible

  • @slayermate07 i honestly don't care since i'm more into rpg and adventures. for example .... AC:brotherhood

  • gears 2 chainsaws res evils ass then tags it with a grenade and blows it to bits

  • What happened to grudge match :(

  • I enjoyed both games, but comparing them makes no sense. I think Gears 2 is a much better game. Saying shitty controls made Resident Evil a more intense experience is absolutely retarded. Mercenaries is not a fun mode at all. The Gears campaign is infinitely more replayable than the RE5 campaign. Capcom did not come out of nowhere and beat Epic at their own game, you should be slapped in the face for spouting such nonsense. RE5 is pretty but it gets old long before Gears.

  • Isnt Resident Shitler 5 on 360 already?

  • I love both of these games but jeez come on...it sounds like these two are gonna have lancers and machetes at each other's throats!!

  • Plus Resident Evil has been around for 13 years have some respect, R.E has books and movies although the movies suck.Gears has only been around for 5 years and hasn't been that active since the DLC in 2009 there just now making a sequel.Gow can never compare to R.E. So as far as releasing something new goes aka active Gow has been active for 4 years since its release, which puts R.E active merchandise or DLC ahead by 11years.Cliffy needs to get his thumb out his ass and make a good GOW.

  • IGN = Ignorant Gaming Noobz

  • Why are you comparing these two games god IGN blows

  • should of been a draw

  • all i have to say is RE5 was frustrating gears 2 was fun all the way through

  • i didn't take cover once in RE5, not once...

  • I'll take RE5 all the way.

  • gears 2 all the way

  • "Gears 2's attempted story was really falling apart" I dunno what game you've been playing, but Gears has one of the best stories in games out there

  • actually I really like both, but gears of war 2 is (at least for me) the best action 3th person shooter in xbox

  • gears 2 is better

  • I think they're both awesome games. Quit the grude matches IGN all they cause are internet fag fights D:

  • resident evil 5 is an awesome game. Gears 2 was pretty cool too but the winner...GEARS 3 BOO YEAH!!

  • I have a PS3. Resident Evil 5 sucks ass: Poor AI, forced to pay for Versus which fails because of the control scheme, shorter than Resident Evil 4. Capcom must have lost their damn minds.

  • gears is better i have both and dont play re 5

  • completely 2 different games

  • Gears is better but Resident evil has better graffics

  • Gears 2 could have been better without its broken multiplayer...
