In Response to Rod "Liking" the Vyking Tweet:

Gears 5
#62

lol “Learning as we go”. Now I remember why I am not buying Gears 5 for a while. So they can get their game straightened out so it isn’t an overpriced mediocre block party. Remember how we were “crybabies” during 4’s life and it paid off because they ended up changing things we complained about. Not saying people aren’t whining but I have seen plenty of constructive criticism on here. Don’t bite the hand that feeds you Rod.

Why y’all bought this game day 1 and spent upwards of $100 on it I have no idea. Cause now they have your money.

This. Saying cosmetics have no effect on gameplay is true, but to say it doesn’t effect your experience is just not true. Imagine if you only had JD and swarm drone running around all the time? Game would get really old really fast. Sure the gameplay is good but variety is limited. I know its true because the OT added more variety every game and was praised for it, adding new characters and giving the player a new experience. Variety in 2 was greater than 1 and was at its highest in 3.

Not to mention you should never take it. Weapon skins I can except but not characters. Give them an inch, TC will take a mile. So at the very least I will not accept character skin MTs. I think its a slippery slope.

The fact Rod liked that shows the amount of disrespect they have for the Gears community.

People complain because they care. It’s not whining.

Maybe if they would have listened in the first place we wouldn’t be in this situation. Nah now we are neck deep in a hole of a multiplayer and you weebs defend it. Majority of the people who are complaint are giving constructive criticism and if you don’t agree “that’s whining and ■■■■■■■■” I’m married buddy I know what whining sounds like.

You want a dead game with 1/3 of the community who actually enjoys this dumpster fire! Then more power to you.

Here’s the issue once again Incase you missed them posted on here over 1000 times but the GAMES in excellent condition!

  1. Bullet magnesium
  2. Aim Assist
  3. Blood omen covering your entire damn screen. My as well spray red spray paint over sunglasses and put them on.
  4. Flash bangs, don’t need to explain that stupid idea.
  5. Maps are one giant circle where cover is absolutely pointless.
  6. Spawning is a joke, if I need to explain that, you obviously don’t play.
  7. Ridiculous prices on the shop and anyone who has a full time job and a life outside of Gears isn’t going to complete tour of duty.
  8. Main Characters NOT an option
  9. Lancer is cancer
  10. Shotgun my as well be rifle
  11. Shot delay
  12. Movement delay
  13. Guardian players spawn on their leader and have SPAWN protection so killing the leader against decent teams can be a nightmare.
    I could continue but you’ve already seen the reason many many times right?

The things they did good on:

  1. Campaign
  2. Escape

Sincerely,
Whiner.

Yeah same here…

  • The game, if we can call it a « completed game »
  • Steelbook (What I really wanted)
  • 2 Stickers…
  • Terminator pack that I already have cause I played the game before Sept. 15th
  • Halo pack, would have prefer a « Carmine pack »
  • 30 days boost!? « Euh!? Thank!? »
  • And playing the game early with issues, as alawys… (remember the time when there was no update at launch!? Ah good times…)

Why would you buy that if you didn’t like the contents? It was well known beforehand. The alternative was getting it via Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for $2, sounds like a good deal?

Funny thing is I have all the virtual content and I just have gamepass.

#68

Because I preordered it and the « Halo pack » wasnt annouced & im a Gearshead. I do buy other stuff other than just the game. In my case, I have the game in a steelcase next to Gears of War 4, in a steelcase. Anyway, im selling all my codes so I will recover.

#69

BS!
Guess they really want gamers to buy their gamepass, since it the new era of gaming.

#70

Yes, I agree it is bs. I didn’t even buy the game.

Well I understand wanting the steelcase, but you must have made a consious decision it was worth it? Everything digital is included in the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate version too.

The physical version is pretty much just a collectable at this point.

We have this tweet here too: https://twitter.com/GearsViking/status/1178427769639886848. Basically is says he’s so proud his sons were in the top 1% escape he had to stealth nerf the escape skills so others couldn’t compete with their times.

A leaked E3 image showing unreleased characters on a select screen =/= “locked on disk”

There’s any number of other explanations for that, such as it being an earlier internal build with access to various works in proress.

Or they could even be done now but not on the disc, because they are being held back as part of their planned regular content release cadence. These things are being added for free, so it’s not like there’s much to be gained by going “muahaha, we are going to lock these on the disc!”

And you say “claiming they are new content” as though they wouldn’t be either way. They are new work the devs did, that aren’t in the launch product. They are new content.

Man, the industry’s historical abuse of microtransactions and loot boxes has led to some gamers having a really goofy sense of what they are “entitled” to as part of their $60.

I agree with many of your points but I MIGHT AS WELL correct one thing for you. :slight_smile:

Asymmetry is fine but circles do not make good maps. i.e. Vasgar breaks the whole point of a cover-based shooter. There is always someone behind you . The lack of useful spawn protection and broken spawn systems in general do not help.

#78

Maps and other post launch content used to be things you had to pay for but have shifted to being free in exchange for optional cosmetic microtransactions that don’t have any impact on gameplay. It is bizarre that people aren’t celebrating that fact.

As far as your question goes, if the content is quality than I don’t care who made it. The Halo community enjoys the forge so I don’t see it as a bad thing.

This! So much this.

I don’t have to buy a season pass, it’s great.

Yes this needs to go

Again, yes, needs to go

Omen is not as big of a deal to me as the above, though I would like for it to be removed

If they worked how TC said they would, I would have no problem. TC said that they were going to separate the blinding and stun aspects of 4’s smoke nade into 2 different nades. But the Flash still stuns and blinds, so it is pointless

This isn’t true for all of them. District is pretty balanced imo. But yeah, that is definitely the case for Vasgar and Bunker

This is one of my biggest issues with the game. Spawns are garbage. Flanking is near impossible

Prices are relative tbh. If you think they are too expensive, don’t waste your money.

Elaborate

Not in Esc or Exe. Its the aim assist and/or magnetism that makes the Lancer OP

I have no problem with the shotty tbh. I think the tuning is pretty decent

Elaborate

You guys have amazing selective memory with gears.

I see some people saying the scarp system from 4 should return. It should not and I’ll explain. The only way to get scrap in 4 was by opening packs .In a 2hr game session in 4 you more than likely had enough currency for an elite pack. Items in the pack only scrapped for a fraction of what they cost to make. scrapping a 2,400 card only got you 600 scrap. So if there was a character you wanted that was 2,400 you’d be grinding for quite a bit. Especially considering most of these packs have you emblems and other things that weren’t worth much. Later in the games life cycle it wasn’t a big deal because by then you had opened so many packs you could easily scrap for who you want. Maybe if it was brought back they can give more scrap but I’d rather not go through the the process of constantly opening packs.

I see some people saying it should be like gears 3 and again no it shouldn’t. Season passes segregates the player base. You aren’t required to buy a season pass which means people who don’t have it and don’t buy the map packs will not be put into lobbies with people that do. Which means more waiting time in between games. Gears 3 had this problem as well as other games.People forget season passes don’t necessarily guarantee you everything in the game. Cod caught a lot of flack because they offered a season pass and sold zombies separately and that pissed a lot of people off. Gears could easily go the same. And it’s funny because some of the same people are also complaining the game withheld content that could have been in the game at launch. If there was a season pass content would also be withheld at launch because you need to entice people to buy the season pass.

So I’ll take free maps even if it means waiting a tad longer for them to come out.
