Does Anyone have an ACTUAL Problem with Kait?

Gears 5
#103

So much vitriol, kneejerking, and bias all in one thread. And it’s not slowing down, is it?

At least the thread’s original question has been answered. Few people can substantiate the problems they have with Kait. I’m reminded of the folks who hated Dizzy and Tai “because they’re stereotypes,” but loved other characters like Cole and Baird (or vice versa).

And no, simply calling Kait “SJW” or “a stereotype” is not an argument. That does not substantiate an argument. It’s a position fortified against a mostly imaginary enemy. It’s a bandwagon.

I finally played the game made it have way through act 2 and del and kait are probably the most annoying character ive dealt with in any game. After JD section which i thought was good everything went downhill.

Thankfully gamepass made this game a flop maybe they try harder on their next game and not launch on gamepass terrible business plan

#109

Every xbox first party title will launch on gamepass

I dont have a problem with Kait per se but I tell you this, I wouldn’t be a huge Gears fan if it wasn’t for the OG Delta Squad and EVERYTHING that came with. It gate crashed the genre as an OTT bro shooter and has lost it’s way since… Gears 5 has basically forgot what made the franchise so popular in the first place. And yes, I’m referring to how it’s not as dark, gloomy and testosterone heavy.

Maybe this could’ve been handled better with the next gen of characters after Delta but this current Squad, JD, Kait, Dell… aint it. JD’s character is a more interesting one imo cos of his lineage but as it currently stands, he has a ‘can’t get out his fathers shadow’ problem. And as a result, Gears has a ‘cant get out of the original trilogies shadow’ problem,

So in short, please don’t center Gears 6 around Kait.

She really started to annoy me at “no detours” I just wish she’d see the bigger picture. Also none of the new characters really fell like people and are quite bland

#112

Don’t really mind kait., Mostly because she can’t see the bigger picture in act 4 of gears 4 and refuses backup. But I wouldn’t mind playing as her. Also I feel like when they put female characters into these kinds of games they should be more muscly as they do all the “macho” jobs the men do and it doesn’t make sense for them to be skinny

#113

I get that It makes sense but it’s still kinda annoying

#114

I think the main reason I don’t like kait is that she kinda reminds me of that girl from life is strange. In appearance and writing.

#115

She’s too emotionally compromised. She’s okay in Act 2 until the Snatcher part.

I too have to pee sitting down, its a medical condition.
I am not allowed to lift heavy things.

Wow this thread was winceworthy.

#118

Besides being a forced protagonist, nah. I liked her in 4, but she became annoying in 5. Well, I don’t like that game as a whole either ways.

This is one of the more mild Kait threads. Early last year there was a new one about every couple days, and they went places…

I’d like to point out this prediction was 90% right in October of 2018. Don’t know if it says something about me or the writing on Gears 5.
