Yeah man. I mean, it’s faster than waiting for an answer.
I waited to get into it because I wanted them to fix the bugs first. Apparently, a few months wasn’t enough time because I can’t play for more than a few min without running into a major bug of one sort or another.

It’s still a bugfest.
- Many connection losses even when internet connection is great.
- Some skill cards not working (as intended).
- Many ingame glitches or huge lag spikes (the clock escape decontamination room 1).
And so on…
Still boring, and still full of glitches and inconsistencies. Haven’t played in weeks either, and I don’t plan on playing it anytime soon. My time will be spent on a game that doesn’t feel like a chore whenever I play it.
To add to my other posts, I felt forced to play for the Krampus skin for a mode that is horrible. I probably won’t be playing much either because of the issues people have been having. The game is a joke. I did enjoy the campaign although they could’ve added more to the campaign as in a fight while on the skiff a few times. Not a fan of Horde/Escape and certainly not a fan of MP. I really want to play the campaign on Insane as well but for some reason, even though I enjoyed the campaign, I don’t have the desire to play it again which is weird.

While bugs and issues can be listed here, they do seem very negative. You’d have to play it yourself and decide. Your own tolerance to bugs and issues may be much higher than people on here. It doesn’t bother me much either.

Good answer dude. Yes, I have seen your posts on the community board on xbox lol They def do not bother you.
Community board on Xbox?
Home screen, scroll to the right 3 times I believe. Like a bulletin board. Shows who gets what achievements and who posts pictures to it. Uploading videos.

Since they didn’t fix anything. I’d say it got significantly worse now.
Hey buddy.
It’s awful currently. Gnasher is even more broken than usual, especially if you use a keyboard and mouse like me.
They’ve stated that they’re aware of the issue, but we don’t know when it will be fixed. 
Nah not about to read a million posts i wanted to hear an opinion over here.
I did play the game and lost patience and then i couldnt take playing it anymore so i asked is it any different/worth coming back to? And i got my answers.
Ahh yes the classic we are aware of the issue and working on a fix line. I think there are still issues in gears 4 that they were “aware of” that havent been fixed yet either way it takes months or never.
I currently only have it on game pass thank god i didnt spend money so i guess better cancel game pass for now
I’ll give you some good feedback.
The game still has issues but it’s gotten better. Movement in versus has gotten better. The shotgun should go back to 8 shots and needs a slight tweak at further distances.
Overkill is stupid strong.
Lancer is fine. Hammerburst is ok.
Connection is eh…same as every other gears game when playing online. One minute your guys is crisp and the. Ext you are firing bananas.
But dont go jumping back on and expect to play like a pro. You need to work at it. The skill gap is intense. Almost every vs game is a sweat match now. Is that bad? Yes and no. The first game I’m not really looking to go balls to the wall. I like to ease into it, but you cant.
You will still face stacked teams. You will still get killed in dumb ways. You will still feel the glory of winning. You are gonna get knifed. People are still gonna leave if you play with randoms. People are still gonna get dropped from games.
The store is still dumb. The tour of duty is ok. In the end though it’s what you make of it. It’s starting to become the game it should have been from the start. Which Is sad and good at the sametime.
Gears 5 is great fun. Many have convinced themselves to hate it for one reason or another, but for the most part the criticisms of the game are emotional and do not represent the majority of players.
It depends on what you view as a hot mess. Is the game perfect? No. Does it still have some bugs? Sure. Does it need more fine tuning? Yes.
But is the game otherwise working fine and fun to play? Yes.
Tour 2 is way more satisfying than Tour 1 as well. The rewards are actually good this time around and worth playing for.
And between FFA, 2 v 2 Gnashers, and Arcade Blitz, there’s a lot of variety compared to launch.
At the end of they day it comes down to someone’s personal preference. Play and decide for yourself.
If you like playing as JD or Marcus… and you like DELIVERY DRIVER MAC then the answer its YES , I think you should give it a try…
Also if you like playing with friends from the official forum , I think Gears 5 its the place to play… 
definetely you’re going to have a blast.
Its fun game with issues …same as 4
Haven’t played in a few weeks and that follows my pattern so far for Gears 5. I played the tech test and at the beginning then stopped playing then came back a bit.
Right now, it is at the worst it has been in terms of gameplay in my opinion, which is extremely disappointing.
TC let this game die before it even came out due to their incompetent ideas.
They should’ve have a test mini-operation zero instead of releasing operation 1 right away. After a month or so, they should’ve taken feedback and prepared for a decent release of an operation 1 with real content. Instead, we got into op 1 right away and it killed the game.
3 months to wait for content? The red screen of death omen? The stupid knifing? The new maps?
All of that and more will be the legacy of the game, as many people stopped playing it at around that point.
TC just couldn’t get it right.
The game came out with the lancer having no drop off damage range, redness of death, awful new map design and trying to make people excited about gears 4 maps, input delay, dumb challenges, stupid micro transactions, new and “improved” hitboxes lmfao, poor and low content, and now the broken af gnasher.
I feel like the changes that tell you that they don’t know what they are doing are found in the store, ToD, and with the points change in KOTH.
Me, being a major KOTH player, always wanted 300/100 reduced but definitely not 30/10 lol. Just shows you that they can’t get the simplest things right.
The matchmaking screen layout is still messed up. I believe that you still can’t hit right on the d-pad to select on/off or enable/disable in the menus - you have to for some reason only move to the left, the input to the right doesn’t change your setting - just a weird little thing in the game. I know I have mentioned little details that really don’t affect anything but that’s the point, they can’t even get the simplest things right. It’s like a student messing up right at the cover page or in the first slide of the powerpoint - that sets the professor up with the idea that this student probably won’t deserve a passing grade.
TLDR: The game is worse than ever in gameplay and it is a wasteland after TC’s initial stupid mistakes. Only the ones with unconditional love and a lack of self-respect are still playing this garbage.
The game reeks of incompetence.
Me personally I’m having a great time with the game, I play both PVP and PVE modes a lot. My main gripe now is how some of Lizzie’s and Lahni’s skill cards are still broken since op2 update, I hope we get a fix soon.
All true. Except I’m in the minority in that i don’t mind the omen lol.
To the op, Ffa is the only fun element in this game, it’s comical.
The buttons don’t register in this game for me a lot of the times. Used new and multiple controllers.
I don’t understand the incompetence. Personally i only play mp. I wish they would just do mp right for once. Release an mp game only maybe. I don’t mind. Just get it right. Even their main menus are buggy and cluttered. Earning stuff is just too unintuitive. You have to not care about cosmetics and not play as a cool character that you’d rather play with, or pay for nicer looking skins. They don’t care enough about us which is why they keep releasing broken game after broken game with not enough content (especially at launch, enough with these new maps little by little).
