YES! Just went and read the nutcracker one. @Mark36111 was really ahead of his time (or at least my dumb brain). I believe the sarcasm was lost on me at the time (maybe I still had hope for the game), but it’s hilarious to go back and read.

As long as your responses fall within the forum rules sure 
Remember when TC said we will eventually be able to use the Map Builder to create our Horde/Versus maps?

Yes it was one of the first promises that TC made regarding Gears 5, now it was said that they are " focusing of creating new maps instead of the horde map editor " which at the end of the day neither promise have materialized.
Best bet its that such feature will be included in Gears 6 exists one day. . and that’s a longshot.

Promise: We’ll release a horde/versus map builder
Reality: its a glitch fest and TC have other priorities right now.

Somehow I have still the dream that one day that feature would be added.
But with that amount of glitches and other priorities that TC has I sometimes think that won’t happen at all hahahhaha
it would have been nice to have a horde map editor. at least the game wouldn’t have to be so boring as of now .
If its going to be unplayable (as in a glitchy mess with crazy spawns, enemies going through walls, etc.) then I’d rather they not add it, but yeah would be neat if it worked well

at this point I would rather have a game with more content than having one working well without anything to do in it.
The only silver lining in that scenario is that the players would (possibly) find workarounds to any glitches or bugs that would appear, sort of like how in order to stop the stupid lancer reload glitch the solution is to just have no ammo, likewise you could see elaborate solutions to issues that would appear.
The real failure of Gears 5 in my opinion is just how awful its Versus is, Gears of War is a rare franchise that has regressed in that regard. When game companies make sequels they should always look at what works, focus on that, and put all the stuff that doesn’t work by the wayside. Gears of War hasn’t had great Versus since Gears 2 in my opinion. TC doesn’t understand Gears of War on a deep level/meta level, though they seem to in PvE more or less

Everyday, same boring ■■■■ from these people.
correct and the lack of enemy diversity on horde and lack of maps at this point. correct.
Exactly @Thee_Bluejay in this sense TC didn’ t do that they threw away the legacy of a beautiful game and made of it a " MCDONALDS FRIENDLY VERSION OF GEARS OF WAR" pretty much that’s what we have right now in our hands.
on any level to be fair.
I’ve said this before but Microsoft should really take a look a this mess and fire TC and bring over another developer to take over… its a much needed change and a fair one.
Dude I just want higher difficulties, more enemy/weapon diversity perhaps even some more classes would be neat but higher difficulties is a lazy way of adding more replayability.
Microsoft is in the business to make money, firing hundreds of employees, starting over from scratch, just to make probably one more title (I highly doubt Microsoft will bother making another Gears title after Gears 6, I suspect they’ll just give other developers like Bethesda rights to use certain assets instead) so the ROI is awful. Even if you somehow believe Gears 6 would be 5x more popular/successful than Gears 5 it still wouldn’t be worth it ultimately.
I know my friend. that why they have to make it profitable and in this case Gears 5 its not doing that…
They don’t have to do that… they could assign TC to do a muppets game, so they don’t have to fire anyone and pass over Gears of war to another developer ( let’s be real here Microsoft have lots of developers firms as of now ) they can do it with no problem.
Its a big game and a meaningful game for Microsoft they won’t stop just of the downfall of Gears 5 .
That’s not how Gears is valued by Microsoft if I had to guess, I think the only metric (or the most important metric) that MS cares about is population and/or Gamepass numbers, so if Gears 5 is attributable to say 5% of Gamepass subscriptions they likely consider it a success, I’m aware that its impossible to ascertain the influence of Gears 5 on Gamepass subscriptions but I’m sure Microsoft has methods.
That doesn’t make any sense though, like a Fallout New Vegas 2 would give them far more bang for their buck than Gears 6 would, nevermind possibility of spinoffs/tie-ins that could be ginormous if they’re lucky.
As good as Gears is I suspect its value as an IP is extremely low, you can blame TC for everything under the sun but a cover based shooter with an extremely toxic community and low popularity isn’t what I would call a high priority for them.
Imagine playing a Fallout game and at some point you see Emergence Holes appear with Locust popping out of them, would probably make more sense to simply reuse assets then to spend 3 or more years making another title that is just going to be less popular than last.
Gears 5 is #41 on xbox live charts in terms of popularity, although it does rise dramatically at the start of operations (at start of Operation 4 it was #14 or something IIRC) I just have doubt that this is worthwhile for Microsoft, There’s a difference between decline and falling off a cliff. Although Microsoft may very well keep the studio (they’ll change their names again of course) I have my doubts that you’ll see Gears 11 or something lol.
Edit: They will 100% make a Gears 6, but I highly doubt they’ll bother after that, unless you think a Gears Tactics 2 is in order
