For what it’s worth, gears 4 was 2 years old when it was "pretty good "… and yeah I expected with a new op system it’d be rough, but not this rough

If they want a new audience then they should make a new IP. Gears has a reputation and gaining a new audience that wasn’t a fan of the OG trilogy is next to impossible and risky because it will only drive the current fanbase away.

Gears 3 had an absolutely massive release and
a massive player base can’t believe people try to pretend Gears was never a system seller.

Gears is an official Xbox game…it’s made millions.

Couldn’t have put it better myself. I loved Jack as addition to the campaign, but the way the story was executed was horrible and like you said about the open worlds, those were the worst parts in the campaign for me by far (act 2 and most of act 3).

Gears never had a huge fanbase. The 3million players in launch were gamepass players that just play the campaign for some achievements.

The game was made for players like TC Octus and ironically developed by TC Octus.
A casual. Watch their live stream, he only lancers, doesn’t wall bounce.
No skill required, versus is now campaign.
The irony is that it actually was for the first 5 1/2 weeks the game was out because of the PVE Gnasher in PVP.
This game has crushed my faith in the franchise for the last time. Although, I will remain to ensure I share only defeatist additive opinions for new folks who think “this” trash is gears of war. What a damn joke, and really what a slap to every Gears fans face. 60$ well wasted; but never again for The Crapolition.
Smells a lot of some TC fan boys in here.

Why are people complaining about a game they don’t play? It’s weird. Gears 5 has ALOT of problems but ■■■■■■■■ about it won’t change anything especially if nothing constructive comes from it.
The game is bad, it spreads negativity because it is bad.
Negativity spreads more negativity.
That’s why people are ■■■■■■■■ about a game they paid 60$ for, duh.
Kinda sad for you that you even needed to ask.

Kinda sad you paid $60 for a game that you don’t play anymore and whine about it online.
Kinda sad a triple A title Xbox flagship game is a piece of ■■■■ and scraped thousands of fans out of their money.
Some fans even are so blind they don’t even realize it.

Whatever you say kid
I’m 26, but if you desire to call an adult a kid I’m sure it’s because you’re an adolescent yourself or a confused gentlemen who’s motor skills have deteriorated in age and can no longer play any game at a competitive level which would explain your enjoyment out of this horrendous flop of an excuse of a game.
Either way, you wasted 60$ and wanna suck the fruit of the TC loom to try and “improve” the game to your standards. Which are casual; surprise, it’s already there.

Agreed 100%, I’ve said several of your points many times. How they essentially started again is a joke on it’s own. They couldn’t care less what long term fans of the franchise actually like, that much is very clear at this stage.
Gears 5 doesn’t capture the same feel. Yes, Rod, you’re damn right it doesn’t deserve the “of War”.
He claims they “took risks” with Gears 5 while all along the bigger “risk” would be to keep it as a Gears of War game and not try to merge it in with the other generic games out there to try and please the majority of irrelevant casual players.

People who are pretending Gears wasn’t a big title anyway are deluding themselves. Gears 4 was pretty big and did not fall off like this.
Even on twitch, Gears 5 has abysmal viewership after only a month. Gears 4 had more viewers a few months ago (despite being over 2 years old) than this brand new game. Content creators I know who are trying to hype the game say their fans aren’t interested in the Gears 5, not even the old Gears fans.
I really hope something changes after this disaster.

Campaign is very, very good, horde mode or escape are nice too, but how long can you play this same all over again?
I think Gears of War 3 was the pick of Gears multi, the best experience, i had top rank, unlocked everything in horde and spend many hours with smile on my face. Gears 4 was fun, (but on PC there were literally no one playing lol), Gear 5 is also fun, but there too many flaws. Only few maps, ping is getting crazy, weird mechanics that discourage you from playing, i can’t realy play 2-3 games in a row to not get pissed and turn this ■■■■ off.
They give us 4 new characters, i still need about 10k exp to unlock first one, but seriously normally i’ve done this in maybe 2 days, but now i’am getting bored or pissed from lags, or some other ■■■■.
Man, you Gears fanboys just cannot let go. Stop white knighting a corporate franchise, it’s embarrassing.
Gears 4 sold about as many copies as Farming Simulator 2019, and I’m not exaggerating. Gears 4 has it beat by a few hundred thousand, that’s it. Gears games don’t even come close to selling power of a Call of Duty or Halo, they’re niche titles with a dying fanbase. Sales have been steadily declining since Gears 3, which sold millions less than Gears 2.
To be honest I love the game and loved all of them except for judgement. The thing about gears is that there’s a learning curve to the online element that a lot of new players don’t know exists. It’s not like call of duty where you can pick up and suddenly get 15 kills within a day. There’s lots to learn, but I guess I’m just biased lol.
A lot of my friends think gears is just a shotgun fest where you have to take cover most the time. When really there is way more to It than that, and the brand new players probably don’t know that.
