Are you in favor of less detailed gore in the Gears of War series?

Gears 5
#82

What does GFY mean?

And I get that people care, but that doesn’t mean it matters. Gears 5 brings in a lot of things the old games could NEVER do graphically. From a color pallet of more than black, white and some blue/green/reds, to a snow/sand engine that you see a lot of nowadays. To lighting never achieved in the old games. A lot of the comparisons felt the same. Also the video put up a Troika next to a Lancer… because those two have the same “weight.”

I’m sure I can take a poll of most casual and even long time Gearheads and find that just because the gore isn’t as bloody as you prefer or that glass breaks differently, it doesn’t take away from the experience.

“I’ve been playing since day 1 of Gears 1?” Wow such an achievement. Not like anyone could’ve jumped on later and also be just as big of a fan? As @l_l_C_L_O_W_N_lsaid (and thanks clown) that doesn’t matter at all if you have the heart to care for the franchise instead of just ■■■■■■■■ about some organs.

personally i don’t really care one way or another. the less detailed gore just makes it easier for me to see people when i’m playing.

Another “i’m an 06 vet, so listen to me” type of post…those are getting old

I mean, I started in 08, but that doesn’t make my opinion more valid. My friend is now a '17 vet and he knows just about as much as me because I’ve told him a lot and he’s played through all the games.

I said that because this kid acts as if anyone cares that he sat through the campaign in one sitting you moron. I’ve played Gears for 3 days straight without sleeping. Nobody gives a ■■■■ and it doesn’t add any weight to your argument.

I said that because you claimed you were a fan that cared and implied that I didn’t care. And that was an explanation of my devotion to the series. Are you dumb?

#88

Sorry I guess being devoted to the new generation of Gears wasn’t what I had in mind. Obviously you won’t know what I’m talking about because you never devoted any real time into the previous series. And obviously people care or these videos wouldn’t be made with thousands of views. And obviously I’m right or you’d be able to prove the video wrong. If you don’t care, then ■■■■ off. And @ clown, idc about ur comment. I just came here to show buster he’s wrong. These forums are a joke (can’t even cuss on for a mature game), and I have better things to do.

How would you know? I guess all that time I spent beating 1,3 and Judgement on Insane and hundreds of hours of Beast and Horde were wasted because I’m not an 06 day one vet who’s done it all.

“I have better things to do,” continues ranting about polygon organs.

I find it pretty hilarious how you’ve completely 180’d your opinion of this garbage installment.

#93

I’m in favor of more detailed gore. If I wanted cheesy horror blood made of strawberry jam and syrup I’d watch a b-rate horror film. As it stands, where’s the organs, bones, and brain bits? Come on, let the bodies hit the floor.

Word is the dev response on this topic was keeping it as detailed as it was in past games, would have hurt performance too much, no doubt because the graphics are leaps and bounds better to begin with in 4 and 5.

My response on this, is if they’d have to take away something else graphically, or you’d have to lower settings to keep it in, I’d prefer they leave it as it was changed. Reason being this is a fast paced game, and something like gore details either isn’t looked at very often due to having to deal with one enemy after another, or it would be repetitious anyway to see those details every time you chainsaw an enemy, which is not as often in the difficulty modes the long time Gears fanatics tend to advance to.

I can think of other details I’d rather see, and I tend to like the smoothness of 1440p 60, so if what the devs say is true, I say they did right. These kind of things are luxuries I can do without. If I had a 2080 Ti instead of a 1080, maybe I could see the point, but they are no doubt weighing the decision thinking of all, not the few.

#95

Well I mean not really–I still think it’s pretty solid graphically. Never changed my opinion on that.

Just the fact that I think the TOD, Store, etc are handled really poorly.

Can there be a rule to not necro 2 month old threads?

I like my dark gritty bloody gears

#98

They made this gears alot brighter and less goring. I like the dark gritty Gorey game once know as gears of war, honestly the dark gritty goring part is what attracted me to the game. Not a bright cartoonish world with emotes and expressions, they followed fornite to hard trying desperately to gain new customers. But they are so blind and cant see that gow was a sucess because of the dark gritty and gorey theme. They messed up on this one.

It was best in Gears 1 imo. The bits in Gears 4 were terrible. The flesh rendering looked like something from an n64. It’s better in 5, but not by much.

There’s literally no organs or bones, with the exception of the skull and brain. What do you mean “Gears 4 had lots of gore?”

Agreed with you bro even they can reduce the details in the environment, wherever they choose but improve the
Gore details in the inside rib cages, this has nothing to do with some gore fetish, it’s about the feedback of an certain action (gib shot, chainsawing, headshot and backbone visible) so that when you bodied someone with a gnasher and see (just in 1 or 2 seconds) that damage is real and gruesome (blood everywhere, intestines, rib cages, heads in pieces, screams of locust/human when dying), just like is in real life, it (the gore) was not perfect even in gears 2 and never will but it gave more impact and also it feels rewarding and satisfying when landing your shots, This is an example from the web

I think the same as @HungarianArrowz he got a point, It seems that people dont know that Gears have been known for its gore and brutality since 2006 and people would say “leave it its just some useless detail nobody cares”
Well I care, and tbh I do care too much because gore in gears 1-3 was one of the little things that made fall in love with the series, this horror aspect with the gore, it was like a horror movie, even I bought a 360 just to play Gears , and now you people say it’s just not important for you, Im ok with that, you can ignore/turn off gore (pop heads and runaway and thats it) you dont have to like it, BUT let other people try to make a change for good to the game we love, all of this is because we want to make Gears better, personally I will keep trying to make TC notice this lack of details and make some improvements, at least just make them know it and maybe implement some anything whenever they have a chance
