The Locust Horde (GEARS OF WAR) Explained

Nice video, I still remember Dom "hey did you hear that" Fenix "it was just the wind" Dom "since when did you hear the wind say HOSTILE'S to you?"

Only played the original trilogy and read canon novels of that period, Gears of War has such a good story and lore. I liked the fact that the Locust were not simply generic genocidal monsters slaughtering without reason but instead were in a desperate death struggle of their own with the Lambent for years before E-Day and were essentially forced to the surface of Serra. The Locust had been aware of Humanity for a long time observing the very real destructive and untrustworthy nature of Humans especially during the 79 year Pendulum Wars. The Locust studied Humanity to the point that they deemed that Humans would never accept the Locust co-inhabiting the surface and would inevitably make War on them. With this is mind the Locust thought that their only chance of survival would be to launch a preemptive strike against the Humans wiping as many out as possible before then proceeding to colonise the surface. Gears is great because it is not a simple black and white good vs evil story it is about two species fighting for survival any way that they can that have been pushed against each other by a more deadly and persistently aggressive outside force.

Glad you're doing Gears, big gear head here.

"The humans of Sera built a glorious civilization. But humans were not destined to create. They inevitably did what they do best: destroy" - Myrrah , Locust Queen.

I'd be down for more locust info

One of the most mysterious races regarding their origins . It ever leaves us with more questions than answers Love the series, hope we get more insight into the new game and the Pendulum Wars

"Anya, it's a Giant Worm! They're sinking cities with a GIANT WORM!!"

This sheds a new light on them and filled in any gaps I had regarding them after playing through games 1-3. Would like to see more on the enemies of this series if you can

Since you did the locust horde maybe you can explain the COG

too short man, locust such an interesting and epic species

I agree that you should cover the other factions in gears of war

My thirst has been rejuvenated...thank you man you finally did it...

Yes please do more gears

Great video as always FCE, I was wondering something, have you ever considered doing a video on something from a book? Odd question but I’ve always wondered 😂😂😂

Nice video as always, would you mind doing a vid on I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream?

AWESOME!! Glad to hear you doing this!

I honestly kinda feel bad for the locusts in the way, they were basically pushed out of their home, their girlfriends are psychotic brutes and then they all got wiped out. I mean they came back as the swarm so they got the last laugh but still

Gears is one of my favorite series, glad to see ya doing an analysis on the horde. Would love to see the Lambent, The Swarm, The COG and the UIR

Wow, I've played these games but never looked that deep into the story behind it all. Thanks for this and look forward to more diving into the story.

Nice video my dude can't wait for more this
