Gears 5
#154

The greatest thing about GOW 1 Was the lobbys that had people messing around 1 v 1 Gnashers and snipers . This experince wasnt just fun but you gained alot more skill with other Gears players helping each other out. You made new friends to. So I think u should
All you would need for this to work iss… One huge map 10 or 20 people join
no host
No melee
No other weapons just Gnasher and Snipers
Dedicted zones for the Sniper and Gnasher
Safe zone people can watch and no one can kill the 1v 1 s going on.
No stats or kd
This be old days where u would see vids of people doing them on youtube

And add koth to social im tired of being punished for others quiting and i dont want to ranked based on radoms. And social i want to connect to some close to me . Irather lose to good players then wait along time to connect. Which is mexico and canada and lag lobbies gow 4 was bad about this… You cant get better if your not ggetting into games and not going to get better if ur not playing better players

So far I’m very disappointed. I don’t mind waiting for the issues to be fixed. It’s a demo. No big deal. The game play though is dramatically different. I have played every game since the beginning. This feels like a sequel to Gears Judgement. I personally despised that game. Gears four nailed the feel of Gears. This feels more like COD then a Gears game. The bullet impacts are a mess. The screen blinding you when you are shot but not down is awesome to look at but a complete game breaker when trying to win a gun fight. Grenades are useless planted. Long delay for the chainsaw and a bumper to activate? Why? Why do this. Love all the extras like new executions you can select. However I’m an old school player. I don’t care about winning a new skin. I keep playing for the game play. Please fix it. Or just put this franchise to rest and release a Gears 4 ultimate edition on Scorpio.

I have had some matches that have felt amazing. I think some of random clunkiness is bugs /server issues. Some of the timing changes is just a matter of adjusting. That being said I think the Gnasher is amazing and the Lancer isnt overpowering at all. At the same time I dont feel like this is equivalent to Core tuning. If the game plays all the time the way it does when everything is smooth than this is hands down the best Gears to date for Versus. Im just wondering how consistent it can be, that is the key for me.

#157

I’ve noticed input lag, when I wonder where my gnasher shot went, after pressing the trigger and no shot. Also, other players casually walk towards me with no sense of “movement” and kill me with one shot…after I shot them 3 times with no affect. Why is this still an issue? Hope this is some what resolved.

#158

I was wondering if its input lag or if they added delay to the Gnasher between shots, as part of the balancing. But there is a noticeable amount of timing change.

#159

Play feels better but damage seems high all around…literally have almost no time to avoid and take cover before being downed. Just what I have noticed right off the rip.

As avid gears player who has played since gears of war the original, I have never seen this ever. Since when can a fully automatic shoot straight and blow your head off. IN JUDGEMENT they introduced a markza mk-1 that is single fire assault rifle that could headshot, in gears 2 and 3 the hammer burst had that ability as well. But the lancer since gears one has never been able to headshot. 2nd issue why would you change the controller layout and double the reload with the chainsaw/retro charge.

SINCE GEARS OF WAR the button layout has not changed. I understand the idea of adding a melee system but dont change things you could have left the B button as a tap to melee and hold to rev chainsaw/retro charge.

I KNOW you want to please the new ones coming along but if you lose the originals the ones who have road with gears from day one then you have lost at least %90 of your buyers and you can bury the Gears name permanently.

GEARS was meant to break away from uniform to bring the up close game not the run and hide game. Many ppl stayed with gears for that run and body with a gnasher fun now you are making Gears into a Call of duty type game why run up I can lancer and pop your head . The enforcer now only needs half a clip to down you Really???. You are re.oving what makes gears gears if I want to play hide and keep away all day I’ll play COD.

I Feel that arcade mode is not necessary. It is a waste of a game mode . You took social and added a function of purchasing weapons via kills and switching characters you will confuse ppl when they switch to ranked. SCRAP THAT TRASH.

Finally please please take all this feedback and actually use it. I KNOW THAT YOU GUYS ARE GONNA DO WHAT YOU WANT BUT at the end of the day if this becomes judgment 2 or ultimate edition this will be the last gear loaded in my system and can guarantee that it will be for at least 85 percent of the True Gears Population.

Back in february of 2019 I was hoping and praying that TC would change this game for the better and of course they didn’t. This game is giving me judgment vibes and that is not good at all. Arcade mode needs to be scrapped completely. Assault rifles like the lancer should not take your head off. Hammers should not be in the game is this HALO? NO TC NO !!! Boot camp after how many years really?? Now you can purchase weapons WTF? Hell no what are you guys thinking at TC? I knew it was going to be bad especially since Kait is on the cover when she is the absolute worst character in gears period but i did not know it would be this bad smh. Personally, TC should cancel the game until it is ready because this ain’t it. Remember Scale Bound yea … Gears 5 needs to get the same treatment CANCELED.

I agree that if it’s as you stated no one will want to play it and I am not wasting 65 on a false advertisement

#164

You know this is 1 mode right. Its not the face of Gears its something new. People need to chill out. God forbid the game try to evolve. But its seems a lot of people on here just want the same game over and over.

As far as the weapon tuning goes, I really dont have any valid complaints. It’s a new game so some changes are welcome. My only real complaint is the movement and aiming. It feels like there is a slight imput delay or something going on. Basically, it feels like there is drag when aiming and moving too. It doesn’t feel crisp and like other have said it makes moving and aiming feel very clunky. I’m not sure if it’s just because it’s a tech test or if that’s just the way the game is going to be. I really hope you guys plan on changing that because the way it is right now makes it feel like a step backwards from gears 4. Other than that all I have to say is great job on the game and keep up the good work. I’m optimistic about the full release in September.

I tried the game for a couple of games (obviously the time is short) but there are some things in versus that don’t convince me:

  1. The Gnasher is too OP, people who kill you even from a considerable distance;
  2. Often the objectives to be achieved are not identified regularly and in Escalation too little time is available
  3. The regeneration time is ok but often people get back to the points of return (same problem as GoW4)
  4. Too hectic, I certainly won’t take it at D1. There are no news in the gameplay compared to the 4 to convince me of the contrary
#167

It’s not that ppl want the same thing over and over it’s just they are completely changing what makes gears gears! How do you completely change the button layout for this game. Rev the chainsaw should not be the same button as active reload but when you implement a whole melee system then something has to give right no! If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. You see what happened in judgment correct! Worst game of the series and you might as well add gears 5 to it too just saying!

I remember during the good old days of Gears 1, and Gears 2 were fun to play. Before all these tryhards decided to play “Gnashers of war”.
Way back then, people used Gnashers as an emergency extra damage weapons that you would use to kill someone who was about to chainsaw you. I feel like I’m not even supposed to use other weapons anymore. They should either just get rid of all other weapons , or just get rid of the Gnashers. I don’t have a problem with other players using it, every so often. Debuff the Gnashers.

Definitely need to put gnasher back to 8 rounds, nothing more annoying that getting a double kill and running out of ammo trying for a triple. Movement feels way too slow

People really need to stop making comparisons to Judgment. The reason Judgment failed was because they took the Gears formula and threw it out the window. No DBNO, 2 weapons in loadout, COG vs Cog ect. TC has been making some pretty good changes . The biggest issue ive had is the connections.

Not that we dont want the same game what we want is what gears represented from day one not some mix up of cod and gears. When halo came out they stayed the course and was successful. Maybe gears should have ended at 3 it other companies wanted to put there input which is fine but you dont try to change what was working you dont remove standard mechanics and make them worse. So before you start running off at the mouth play gears of war the original then 2 then 3 skip judgement and ultimate edition. Then 4 and then this demo or tech test compare and come back with some real knowledge before you speak. Or maybe you a call of duty fan who happy to play gears now that it acting like its call of duty either way I dont care. Just know you that new generation trash that mess up good games for people that know what games are about and how to differentiate between good updates and trash updates

I just posted over on the bug thread, but I’ll say again, this game really impressed me actually coming from someone who’s played GoW 1 from the start. I like the variety in gameplay, arcade seems a little too dedicated to the rifles at start, maybe everyone should start with pistols or something. But the potential is there for someone who just wants to get in and start bodying folks.

The game looks great, feels great on PC which I never thought I’d be able to experience for a gears game. Obviously there’s some things I’d change if I had a say, so I’ll list them out here.

DEEZ:
-The omen has got to go, as many have already said on here it blocks your view and is very distracting when you’re trying to focus on fighting. And only the littlest of damage causes you to feel like you’re dying. Just go back to the original.
-Killcam gotta go, that’s pretty much all there is to that though I greatly appreciate the ability to turn it off.
-Yellow tinge to the screen upon death before respawn, ugly, kills the aesthetics of the game.
-The arcade match times take forever if the lobby doesn’t fill up, just start the match after bout five minutes and fill as people join. That’s the whole benefit of an ‘arcade’ playlist, you get in you get out.
-Breaker mace is super powerful in the right hands, might need to slow that thing down a bit for balance.
-BIG disappointment is the aim assist. I absolutely hate that on any game. It messes me up non-stop, just take it out. It’s like making me hit the breaks just before the apex, slow.
-Lancer stopping power doesn’t seem to be the same as it has been over the years, was always run up on by shottys and getting beat.
-Recoil on more than a few of the weapons seems pretty excessive, damn near just spraying and praying.
-Why do you have to press a button to respawn in escalation?? More than a few times I caught myself just staring at the screen waiting to respawn, doesn’t make sense for that to be an option to wait.
-Also, please make it one weapon per player then cycle on escalation, no reason only the ‘team leader’ gets to pick where to put the weapons. I’m solo que damn it.

Again, I will definitely keep playing this and enjoying it. The smooth ultrawide gameplay over PC is just breathtaking. Campaign will be an absolute treasure. Cheers and see you in the lobby!
