2 moments yesterday when Gears 5 lost me as a player, lol (video)

Gears 5
#96

I laughed after watching this only because I know I’d be losing my mind if this happened to me.

And I bet there was at least one or two high ping players in the match, which I am guessing was the issue

That was painful to watch, it’s impossible for him to have survived that.

With Gears games I’ve always completed it, got collectibles, completed insane, done 50 waves of Horde and then started Versus.

With Gears 5 I did Campaign and have went straight into Versus to see how bad it was. I’m not impressed. The tech test was a joke to Gears fans and the final product is no different.

  1. The way you describe Frankenstein imago isn’t. He is like that. He has different body parts attached to him.
  2. Most people aren’t aware but having the breaker mace equipped increases the player health. Not sure exactly how much tho. A significant amount.
#102

Its not a problem that you get a health boost from the breaker mace ( i dont like it but thats my opinion)
I think the ammount of health is a problem and the range is inconsistent.

#103

Yeah, it’s like when you think the game had hit the bottom, only to discover that the pit it’s falling into is bottomless…
It’s both sad and fascinating (in a weird masochistic way).

#104

Ya its the mace or stick weapon thingy (the actual name escapes me at the moment). It gives a health boost when you carry it. I think TC did this to make the weapon more relevant. Its exelent for chancing down the leader in guardian btw.

Im not happy with the game either. The hip fire is basically the sawed off from gears 3. I dont get exited anynore when i kill someone like that anymore because i know i barely used any skill.

#105

2 pointers if i may

You stood dead still firing at a target running at you carrying a power weapon , you had a few options there with roll back and fire or wallbounce to the righthand side with the shotgun once he had gone past you with the lunge.

Not easy i know in the heat of battle but it just comes from years of playing versus online and anticipating peoples movements… No idea how long you been playing but if its only a month or 2 then you’ve just found out how big the skill gap really is…

You must be new too, but its fine… COD is ok for kids running about with rifles but this is a whole different level when you play online, Clearly the OP is lacking in tactics and general awareness of how to manoeuvre a character in order to survive. im not a pro or a competitive player but ive had plenty of 4v1 scenarios and come out the other side purely because i understand the mechanics of the game and how to fend off less skilled players who rush me .

Clearly you’re a moron and think everyone just started playing the game. 17 active shots with a lancer should’ve been more than enough to down the guy whether he was standing still or trying to run and gun. Even if he tried to wall bounce the lunge with the mace still would’ve killed him.

I have plenty of experience with gears kiddo.

I agree with that but the health boost plus the insane range of the slam and lunge make it a tad bit overpowered.

#117

That’s 10x what the average toxic person with minimum wage here earns. Can you blame him?

I wouldn’t because 100bucks an hour would be a down step, but I’m sure that 99% of the people here would.

#118

I think the main issue with it personally is the amount of ‘ammo’ it has. The fact that it can kill you when you’re behind it is also a but much.

#119

Ive experienced similar things. One was hitting a player for 110% and them being the winner with 100%, even tho my 2 shots came first. And then last night in Pumpkinball, 3 players including me shot at one guy point blank, 5 shots in total from all 3 players, clear hit markers, no kill and then he destroyed us 1 by 1 bouncing about like an idiot.

#120

You’re missing the point though. He hit him while behind cover, got an active, laid into him some more and he didn’t go down. Even without an active, the guy should’ve went down. Skill has nothing to do with his video at all. We all get it though, your a gears “Veteran” that have been playing since “06”.

#121

there is no skill with the breaker mace , suprised the massive size of your head hasnt crushed your entire body yet lol

#122

Good thing a longshot can easily pop a mace
