I don’t think I’ve seen a more narrow-minded Gears fan. Glad you said it’s your opinion though and didn’t act like what you were saying is factual.
That’s a pretty low bar. Nothing happened in 4.
Outsiders steal from robots.
Swarm steals Outsiders.
JD rescues his dad.
Kait does not rescue her mom.
The end.

I honestly wonder if more people will be playing Gears 4 than 5 a year from now…

Depends on how quick TC can fix its game, or at least fix some of the most egregious bugs and server issues still in the game. And also make the necessary tweaks to the mechanics needed to appeal to most of the fanbase.

Never thought I would say this, been playing gow since 2006 but I’m done with trash game. Seriously not even worth the time. Glad I payed $60 bucks for a game I barely played for a month.
They catered to the casuals and inturn casuals got bored quickly and the gears fan (who Tc screwd over) just outright left! Well done rod and team…

Funny, I’m not surprised you said it at all.
Ahh, but…
It’s been seven years since Borderlands 2 released, and I’m happy to say that Borderlands 3 was worth the long wait. Character arcs receive well-earned endings, questions are answered regarding lore and theories that fans will love, and the gunplay is top-notch. Any stumbles Borderlands 3 takes are overwhelmingly outshined by what it does well.
So let’s look at Gears 5:
- “Character arcs receive well-earned endings” - nope
- “questions are answered regarding lore and theories that fans will love” - nothing
- " the gunplay is top-notch" - haha, don’t make me laugh…
So yeah, Borderlands 3 is a great success BECAUSE of the above… They took the game in a direction which players of past Borderlands games loved!
What did TC do with Gears 5? They decided to do something completely new… Because… “reasons”… And now they are surprised at the outcome?
Borderlands isn’t a success because it tried to appeal to Gears/CoD players while turning its back on its fan base… But Gears 5 tried to be a success because it tried to appeal to CoD/etc players, while turning its back on its fan base? Yeah, what could have POSSIBLY gone wrong with that approach, TC?

Ah well. Borderlands is too cartoony for me.
me too, but that’s kinda the point… It has a specific appeal so its creator catered to it… they didn’t tone it down to try and attract you and me to it…
They can’t modify it enough for me to like it, but they can try and in doing so modify it too much for fans to like it.
Sound familiar, TC?

Im a veteran gear and i did not want to believe all this stuff said about it but the more i play.Im seeing all the stuff said about it.
I enjoy horde mode.escape was fun for a bit but itgot boring quick.im not sure about campaign,i know its not interesting enough to go again on insane.
Versus…what to say…i just end up going back to 4 because 4 is so much more fun and more responsive,bullets actually hit targets.
Ive lost like 80 percent interest in gears now.sad to say but i honestly think gears is done.

I still think judgment is the worst ever.
Escape and horde imo are great fun. Campaign was fun, but campaign isn’t what makes people stick around.
The issue might’ve been that they used g4 as a reference. G4 compared to g3 is what g5 is compared to g4.
In comparison they’re bad. As standalone they’re quite enjoyable. The versus makes g5… not that good
I am a Horde player, occasionally play Campaign, but Horde is my passion. Gears 5 Horde for me would be perfect if the Engineer is the only one that can build and repair, the Scout is the only one that can collect and dump Energy. Gears of War 4 Horde I really liked, but I found I left more games than played because players were ignorant and/or stupid. I will not play with another Engineer and I will not play with other players that build when I am there, I use a chat pad so I do tell people not to build, it is my role to play, so no one can have a go at me for leaving, plenty of warnings are given before I leave. I did not spends several months getting my Engineer to the level I wanted it for some wananbe to join and start building, I just do not have the patience for these kinds of people.
In Gears 5 Horde, there is a whole different problem, and that is the Energy. I know it is shared, and I know it can be dumped, but… My problem with the Energy is that it is used by all but the Engineer to level up their own personal skills, and this is killing the game, in my own personal experience. People hang on to the Energy, the game breeds ignorance and selfishness, simply because of the Energy.
The Engineer is not the only one that can build, but it might as well be, because everyone can build something, yet they cannot upgrade it, so when the Engineer upgrades, it is theirs. So, why bloody bother. In that sense, I got what I wanted from Gears of War 4 Horde.
The Scout to me seems redundant, they do not run around a before collecting and dumping, because anyone can do that now, and the bonuses for the Scout, from what I have been told or read are just not worth it, so yeah, Scout is redundant.
Energy collected is automatically shared, and yet it feels like I as the Engineer are waiting forever to build, and then you get hassled by other players when there are no defences up ready and waiting to save them. The Coalition drops a clanger there in my personal opinion, and as a casual, Gears 5 Horde is now something I have to 100% feel the need to play, to play, and to be honest, I just do not have the patience to waste finding a game for everyone to be ignorant, selfish or just plain stupid.
I wonder if this is the reason why Gears 5 is at number 22, because this is my reason.
That’s a new one. Usually the complaints around here are that it’s too easy to hit targets in G5 compared to GOW4.
You said it all brother, 
Best horde really…lmao u couldnt be so far off the mark if u tried…game lobbies are dead on horde 2 months in…kinda says it all really.
Lack of choice n tied classes have already killed this to be fair.
Somebody needs to be fired. Everyone on my friends list was playing gears 5. Now, only me and one other person. I can live with the greedy microtransactions and the switch to Iron as a means to psychologically encourage spending ( the gradual disassociation of real cash with iron encourages spending), but the hit detection is crazy stupid. It’s unacceptable. I can aim at someone’s mother in another state and still body the guy. People are hitting me when I’m behind cover, and some enemies are even invisible, only to be seen in replay. Fix it quick, TC, or I’m leaving for real.

Gears 5 is now 21th in USA.At least stopped dropping.
Mexicans still love the franchise. Gears 5 is 4th and Gears 4 is 8th.
Solution: host your custom match.
