So Mr. Ryan Cleven, i just read the interview with Polygon!

Wait! What? The shotgun is most balanced? I hope to good lord your not referring to the gnasher in gears 5! If so your credibility went out the window!
The gnasher in gears 5 is a mechanical nightmare, that shoots nukes! Kills people that are not even on the screen, and makes no sense whatsoever! I’m steady killing kids with missed blind fires and backpacking people!!

I like playing core modes; we have embraced the gnasher. It’s the core part of the Versus game. We spent a time of time polishing it. We love that game.

That doesn’t mean there can’t be a playlist for players that want to play differently. it just sounds like you don’t want other people to play the game.

That was a trash post.

How? You’re saying Gears 5 is bad?

Oh yes. For all the people saying bring back Epic you clearly have some revisionist thinking about that time. Epic was like TC but so disconnected from their fanbase we had people in the chat explaining to their lead MP designer what basic concepts were like a superman or a pop shot was. For all the flak we give TC, TC does get the game at the level the experienced players do and you can tell they are at least somewhat conflict about certain decisions. Epic had no respect for anything but money what so ever. They would’ve taken the gnasher out full stop if it meant they made another dollar in profits.

I have to disagree with you on this. I have been enjoying the game a lot. The campaign was amazing, VS is great (needs some tweeting), Escape is pretty good, and Horde is better than I expected with the locked characters.

But thats me

Sure,

I’m the opposite but I can understand this :+1:

I love this game compared to 4 but lol i would be ecstatic if the gnasher was tossed as we discussed games are so much more fun with it as a power weapon.

You get to actually have a gun fight😂

How did peic only have respect for anything but money what so ever? as all i see from TC is moiney grabbing t**ts who ruined the franchise, gears is done coz of them end of.

You say that now but inprpmise you Epic was worse. All the greed of TC without a hint of humility or empathy for their original fanbase

Ah. I see.

The MP lead is the guy that whines about not being good when he hasn’t had enough time to get his ■■■ kicked and get better at the game so he makes it easier for less skilled players.

If that was the plan to invite lesser skilled players into a franchise that has almost always had a high skill ceiling, then you can keep this game and I’ll just go back to Gears 4. So much has changed in this game that simply didn’t need to. There was almost nothing wrong with 4 outside of lag compensation and networking which is somehow worse in this game. Shameful.

I will gladly go play something else. Not only is Ranked a joke but so is Social.

Adapt or die.

You mean copy every other half a*sed AAA game from the past 3 years. Making the game more accessible is fine, but they can do it in a way that doesnt butcher the core experience for returning fans. I.E the people who will be playing it long term and not just cause they got it from gamepass.

Dear Microsoft, please get this series away from this man and The Coalition.

The RNG they use for shotgun battles?

Do you have a link? I am unable to find that interview.

Ima need u to take several seats… if u played geara 2… u should be good with the same shotgun, similar wallbounce, or you only played campaign, or played years after release

What’s with all these gamertags from 2017 saying they been since gears 1 and this n that needs changed shotgun this shotgun that foh… u may have played the first gears… but if u downplay the gnasher u haven’t been playing since then…

He’s just so hard-headed some times.

Don’t forget the tantrum he threw over pro players requesting execution to be a comp mode. He even put a poll on twitter of exe vs esca, which he later deleted (i think) because Exe gave esca a run for its money.

I believe it is his leadership that killed exe as a ranked mode, to protect the baby of escalation. Disgusting.

I puked after reading this. Thanks for posting.

DISGUSTING.

I remember reading/seeing that Rod had made them all play every gears of war game leading up to working on UE, so they would understand the game from top to bottom.

That didn’t work because this direction brought us a gears j 2.0.

They tripped over the same rock again.

DISGUSTING.

lmao you are like a chef that doesnt taste his own food as he makes it and gets mad when people tell him he put too much salt in it. you can call chef gordon ramsay and your product needs more time in the oven if you think this game is good enough
