Lmao, so it sounds like it was changed for a reason.
This is a really broken mentality to have.
Personally, when I heard they were reworking the entire recoil system, adding hit markers, and health bars over enemies in PVE, I thought “WTF are these guys doing, and why?”. However, now that I have played with these new mechanics, I must admit that they improve the quality of the experience when playing.
Just because an aspect of a game appears to be perfect, doesn’t mean there isn’t room for improvement.
That’s a real shame, Buster. I mean it’s a realistic sight, great. I get that this is Gears and not Gears of War, but this is an example of how by changing things that never should have been changed has negative consequences for TC. To this point, I have 4 likes on my post and you have 4 likes saying the opposite. If TC never changed the longshot sight you wouldn’t have been mad, but they did and although you are a fan of the new sight, I am not and it makes me mad. Then what happens is it creates this 50/50 divide between smart and dumb people that TC is constantly trying to reconcile.
It’s not broken logic. Ever heard of the phrase 'if it ain’t broke don’t fix it? Sure there is always room to advance stuff, but I never heard anyone say the longshot sight needed to be reworked. For me it was something that should never change with this game; obviously TC felt differently. Clearly there are people who like the new sight and people who like the old sight, but again, if it never changed than nobody would be mad.
Maybe instead of making bloodsprays they could make a couple different reticles and we could choose our favorites for each weapon. I don’t hate the new one, I just love the old one.
Geeze! Why’s everyone try to go for the throat in here? I posted this at 3am last night after 3 hours of horde and by the end I just wanted the old reticle back. SUE ME.
Plus, new isn’t always better. My 1995 Polaris Sportsman 400CC is noticeably faster than my 2016 Polaris Sportsman 570CC. Sometimes the older stuff was built to last and the new stuff was built for now.
This was a comment made in jest, sir. Although, I do believe the point about TC trying to please two different sides is where a lot of the issues with the game are occurring. Momma always said you can’t have it both ways.
I liked the old reticule but disliked how there wasn’t a pin point where shot was gonna go. Still prefer that one,mainly due to it just feel like gears more to me.
It only divides people for as long as you make and issue out of a non-issue.
It’s a damn reticle. It doesn’t matter what shape it takes.
Yeah sure “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.” Also think of “If it works that doesn’t mean it can’t be improved.”
Whether or not you think the new reticle is an improvement, it’s more accurate for non-scope firing which makes the Longshot A) easier to use, which may get the “Filthy CaSuAl” claim and B) also makes the Longshot more viable in close-range combat, if you’re ever stuck or get ambushed. I’ve done much better I noticed with the new reticle.
TL;DR, it’s only an issue for as long as you pretend it’s an issue. And hey, maybe TC will add an option to change the reticle to the classic variation for $2.50.
Also what? Are you saying fans of the new reticle are dumb and old reticlers are smart?
Objectively the new sight is “better” for the game, b/c as they indicated in the developer stream it is more accurate based on the systems they have in place. Albeit, subjectively one can easily view the old reticle as “better” based in the affinity for and experience tied to using the old reticle (for over a decade). So yeah effectively that was me saying “muh original GOW”. Touche.
You are absolutely correct, the new reticle is ugly and awkward and another example of TC changing stuff they had no business changing. Don’t listen to the captain-save-TC’s on here who secretly hate the game but try their best to be ‘positive’ and ‘nice’ despite this pile of rubbish we call ‘Gears 5’
