Isn't it something about the humans actually being on their planet?

#10 Posted by CaptainObvious (2947 posts) - 3 years, 8 months ago

It's a game about  match of man and beast. Deep emotional match of minds, only the strongest can survive.

I find it funny how you're saying he's wrong, and explaining why when you say you've never played the game.

The more you think about Gears of War, the more you start realising that in actual fact... the humans are kinda the bad guys. Because all the Locust are doing is defending their home planet.

Well, you have a point. But the locust could have resolved this by asking the humans to leave nicely :P 
So there both in the wrong!

True, but at what point did the humans ask permission to set up shop on the Locusts planet?
#22 Edited by AaronAlex (182 posts) - 3 years, 8 months ago

Good point. You win sir :D 
  
But with the locust being underground and all, its a pretty honest mistake for the humans to assume Sera was unoccupied. 

#23 Edited by prencher (96 posts) - 3 years, 8 months ago

The humans didn't arrive on Sera. Neither did the locust, both were always there. This is not some "Humans from earth go populate another planet and woops there's bad guys in the ground." story.  Alternate reality, no earth, no space travel to other planets.

#24 Posted by AaronAlex (182 posts) - 3 years, 8 months ago

Oh really, my mistake then.

#25 Posted by Kiemoe (1053 posts) - 3 years, 8 months ago
#26 Posted by impalerXZ (85 posts) - 3 years, 2 months ago

Would make the most sense to say that the Locust are just humans that were exposed to Emulsion for way too long.

#27 Posted by myalt22 (101 posts) - 1 year, 10 months ago
@Creamypies: Actually, they left the safety of the hollow due to the Lambent.
#28 Posted by Vinny_Says (5239 posts) - 1 year, 10 months ago

You'll all find out why the locust emerged from the underground on emergence day to wipe out all humans IN THE EPIC CONCLUSION TO GEARS OF WAR THIS SEPTEMBER!!!!!

#29 Posted by NTM (6478 posts) - 1 year, 10 months ago
@Creamypies: The humans weren't the ones who attacked the Locust, it was the other way around, so I don't see what you mean by saying the humans are the bad guys on this part. And the humans that live on Sera, didn't colonize Sera, they were always there, that's why there isn't any Earth to be heard of in the Gears of War series. By the way, there's still more story to the game (and another book that just came out), so we really don't yet know what the Locust are, or who the Locust queen really is.
#30 Posted by NTM (6478 posts) - 1 year, 10 months ago
@leky1: It's because the Locust want the planet for themselves. That's as simple as it gets.

I get so much mileage out of this image.
#32 Posted by NTM (6478 posts) - 1 year, 10 months ago

I didn't even notice these Gears threads were from 2009... Damn.

#33 Posted by SeriouslyNow (8532 posts) - 1 year, 10 months ago

It's a game about Cliffy B's homoerotic brahbrobrehbroseph fantasies where the male protags have oversized robo nipples and failed relationships with women.

#34 Posted by ShaggE (4629 posts) - 1 year, 10 months ago

"Why do the locust dudes fight this war?!" needs to be a line in Gears 3.  
 
"Why locust fighting war???" 
 
"I dunno, my name is a train! Let's shootan!" 
 
"BUNUNUNUNUNUH THAT'S US SHOOTAN YOU FACES" 
 
Make it so, Epic, even if you have to delay the game a year to rewrite everything.

Does GOW3 end with Marcus and Anya flying off Sera and landing on Earth which means everybody is a descendant of Marcus? (Marcus and Anya first Humans on Earth)
#36 Posted by Dany (7882 posts) - 1 year, 10 months ago

Wait, so the humans are from Sera? They didn't colonize it or anything?

You've clearly never played a Gears game, breh. 
 
And I'm a firm believer that all games should include oversized robo nipples.

Sadly, I've played both games to completion. Cliffy B is definitely slightly gay.
