Its actually not that great imo. You only need to look at what arcsys has done with the Guilty Gear franchise to understand that its possible to innovate and not alienate your core fanbase. 21 years strong, but they likely understand a loyal base is > the lowest common denominator.

You actually proved yourself wrong in your statement.
The game industry isn’t always changing at all. It changes very little actually. What does happen, however, is 1 game will do something different… and then everyone else copies it.
Gears 5 didn’t “evolve”. Gears 5 didn’t innovate. Gears 5 didn’t expand on itself.
Gears 5 copies a bunch of stuff from fortnite, CoD, Battlefield, Destiny and Overwatch and added a chainsaw gun in the mix.
We are playing the same thing… the same game everyone else is making.
Gears used to be about changing how gaming is done. Gears was about doing something cool and unique. There isn’t a single thing, not 1 thing unique to Gears 5 that wasn’t either in a previous title, or just a reworked game mode or mechanic from a different game.
Gears 5 is the gaming equivalent of leftover casserole for dinner on a Thursday night.

How did they add a chainsaw gun into the mix when the gun has been the face of the franchise since 2006??

I agree that the health values are far too low in ranked. It feels like core from Gears 4.
Come Through… Homie Come Through , My Boy Speaking Facts … I like To Call them “Hype Beast”. - Fell Like There Are Little Few That Stick Around After A “COD” ,“Fortnite”, or any other Hype Release Comes Out . And Every One Must Admit They Have At least One Person On There Friends List That Has An “Hype Beast”
Can’t bounce? I wall bounce np. There’s video of people hyper bouncing. But yea the tuning is a bit strong. The tech test gnasher was great it really was a middle ground but they seem to have buffed it.
you’re focusing on the wrong words. Obviously the point was they added the other stuff I mentioned, threw a chainsaw lancer in there, ( added lancer to amalgamation of other ripped off games to make it a “gears game”), and then slapped it on the desk.
You know what I was saying… I don’t know why you asked that ridiculous question. But whatever.
I mostly played Core on 4 but I COMPLETELY AGREE!
Gears has been around longer than every game u just listed other than CoD and Battlefield. Boi you just proved yourself wrong. I don’t think you thought about what i just said. Yeah stuff is copied but gears has always been an original and changes are always going to be made. All these games that are being copied started from games that were new. My man I don’t understand your entire statement
Also I don’t think gears would have been popular if it was just a copy. There is a reason it has done good. If it was copied, then it was simply done right.
So you think evolving and changing in an industry is to copy from other games and put it in yours? Wow. That’s sad. And it gets you nowhere. Ask… that’s not true. I also listed Destiny, which has been in development since just prior to Gears 1 release. If you want to be technical.
But you say things like “boi” and “my man”… so obviously I’m talking to someone who wasn’t even old enough to purchase a Gears game without a parent present til maybe Gears 4… of at all. So I’m not going to waste my time.
You don’t understand my statement, not because it doesn’t make sense, but because you don’t understand what it means to have an original thought or idea of your own. Which is why you speak like a gen z robot. Go ahead and not reply to this. I really don’t want to have to converse with you again.
Well I completely disagree, I think 5 feels amazing. Nostalgia glasses maybe? This is miles ahead of the first 3 in terms of movement, and I personally prefer it over 4. As for tunings, people can complain about it all day, but I’d REALLY rather not have more post-launch tuning changes, so maybe let’s all just get good at the game as is and not complain that it should suit our particular style exactly?
Great post, its all about adapt learn and play, I think this is a much more skilful game than the last one, if your going to push someone’s right hand you better know what you are doing.

Its not nostalgia glasses dude ,the game is trash! They lied and did not make a middle ground between the 2 previous tunings and just went full core to cater to all the new players that are trying the game because of ninja and gamepass. …
The game has probably the easiest learning curve of any gears of war game and that’s sad…
I can’t wait to see what people say after the honeymoon period because i feel like alot of gow sreamers are even starting to question the insane damage!

I can’t push any section of a map if 1 guy is camping behind cover with a rifle protecting it, yup 1 guy! 11 lancer bullets for a kill without active reload or 6 retro lancer bullets lol

Exactly dude loool…and you have people saying stuff like “why dont you wait for your teammates to flank ?” Or my favourite one " why dont you throw your flash?" 
Sometimes you dont have an option but to push an enemy be it a power weapon or hill and you may not have a support grenade…the guy thats waiting will have an easy kill because he will get the first shot .its hard to even run away when you’ve been hit once .
If you watch competitive gears 4 people push even though they are getting lancered because you have to sometimes but i cant see them doing that now … game will be way slower than 4 .

Totally agree with OP. I’m so confused to why I get downed by people sitting behind cover from afar with the gnasher. Getting in close to someone is almost impossible.

Its not trash, far from it, have some patience its only day 1 and lets give new players a chance, 6 months down the line TC may decide adjustments can be made but for now lets hope new players feel like they have a chance and stick around, will benefit us all in the long run.
This is the whole reason why gears always has a low population after 8 months …the casuals that TC have catered
to have left for the next big game and some of the main fanbase are just fed up of being shuned aside …
The reason why gears 1 was soo good was because it had a steep learning curve be it because it was new and innovative but it was hard to get to grips with .Gears 1 put alot of people off that couldn’t use a gnasher but still it thrived because it was new…
I even forgot a main point which is the horrendous input lag on console , so unresponsive and feels like it buffers your input kinda like smash ultimate if you’ve played it you’d understand but its just not fun to play!

Hey, it is what it is, Gears 1 was brilliant in its day and my favourite. Gears 5 will gain new players and maybe lose a few, Thanks to Microsoft and some help from Epic games we have a new Gears, so im just going to enjoy it for what it is, because it could be the last.

I’ve been playing since Gears 1 and
I absolutely love Gears 5.
The weapon tuning , movement , and overall
feel of the game is beautiful.
Stop reminiscing on the past , no one lives there
@TC_Octus
Good job coalition on this new gears title.
As of this time , everything feels perfect
(Weapon tuning , movement etc.)
I’ve been playing since gears 1 and I can honestly say that gears 5 plays the best by far.
