Gears 5
#166

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

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!

I dont know what you played but it wasn’t Gears of War. The Gnasher was ALWAYS the dominant weapon

Im a diehard Gears fan and have been playing since the beginning. And the problem with this community is most of you cant handle change. You guys are butt hurt over 1 mode. Im not a big fan of the reload being the chainsaw but Im willing to roll with the changes to see if actual benefits the WHOLE GAME like TC said it would. This is a taste of what the full game will bring and a test to fix any bugs before it comes out. So being butthurt over 1 mode is a joke. So what if it caters to new people. As a business TC cant survive having the “hardcore” fans only

Don’t get me wrong there were a few things I liked about judgment baird being a better protagonist than marcus, ink grenades killed on impact and hit detection was amazing in that game but at the same time it wasn’t a gears game and this is why ppl did not like it. Now back to gears 5 it is following in the same footsteps as judgment and that is not a good look. To be honest gears should of ended in GOW3 but nope greedy game developers wanted more and we (stupid consumers) bought into it and here we are. So, TC has a month to actually listen to the community and I hope they do because if they don’t gears 5 will go down as the worst game in the franchise #facts

#177

You also have to remember how Gears 4 launched from beta to what it ended up beginning after all the updates. Im not saying this is game is the perfect Gears game. It has potential. We just have to give constructive criticism to TC so they listen. Not just tell them this isnt Gears

#178

I play on classic alt controls and when I come out of cover or reload while running it stops me from running and I start walking around, it doesn’t feel very fluent and it’s to be fixed haha it’s hard to play

When match making with friends game takes for ever. When you back out to try a different game mode it does not bring squad with you then when you try to invite friends it says they are in a match already but they aren’t. Then try to invite again and it says session no longer available causing to close game and reopen only for the same problem to occur.

Yep they have done something, i cant get a single match in any mode.

Wall bouncing is inconsistent, gnasher is inconsistent with damage and ranges.

#182

But it isn’t gears! I don’t care how they feel at TC make gears of war great again! Hammers don’t belong in the game assault rifles shouldn’t take your head off big stupid cog emblems which block my entire screen make it extremely impossible to see who is hitting me. Purchasing weapons what are we doing here? The only problem I had with gears 4 was lack of story and hit detection. Gears 5 remains to be seen but so far I’m not liking what i see TC! Fix it!

Your talking about 1 mode. Have you played KOTH or Escalation yet??? It plays like Gears and theres no assault rifles taking heads off. And the cog emblem is something new. Im not the biggest fan of it but Im getting used to it. The clever was a weapon in Gears 3 but because Epic made it its ok
