Stop living in the past people. Gears 5 is great

There are a lot of flash grenades. Where do they all come from? Does every bot have a fifty pack of flash grenades at their disposal? I get four at the most. I’ve never seen a locust flash factory on any level I’ve played. Do bots really think flash grenades are that effective? If they threw a frag I’d be dead. Maybe flash grenades are like bot cocaine. Once they start throwing …

Why don’t bots run out of ammunition? I’ve seen them reload, but they never run out, even if I sit there for a half hour behind a post drawing fire on purpose. Well actually the AI get to them eventually, but that’s not my point!

Why do all bots have perfect aim? I can be serpentining at full speed and still get whacked by a drop shot or a claw. Where are the aiming challenged bots? I am aiming challenged, Why aren’t some bots aiming challenged?

I like hip shots. How you shoot shouldn’t matter, its where you hit. Aimed shot to an ankle isn’t worth more than a hip shot to the face. Stop it.

Some accommodation needs to be made for new players. I’m a new player. Coming in and getting whacked by a 17 year old pastie basement dweller (just assuming here - you could be 47) is off putting. I’m a casual player and should be respected as such. Make an apropos environment for me and let the OC crowed destroy themselves. I think Microsoft is trying to be accommodating here. Just a learning curve I hope.

Recommendation - Make a Pro-Am tourney. At least if you’re purposely trying to get us to mingle (?) we know what we’re getting into. Otherwise no game available is better that a fubar game.

The game is fun. Comments above are intended to be somewhat humorous. Don’t hate. I have nothing against pastie basement dwellers, really. I just don’t like getting whacked by them. Or anybody.

PS

I watched a youtube video of an insane run through in the all fathers. they know right where the bots are being spawned and actually how to control where they will be spawned. I found this remarkably … silly. This needs to be tweaked out the game. No spawn should only apply to the fabricator, not a grenade, or smelter, or whatever. Stationing a single superman at a known position to pick of spawn before they’re even given a chance to breath the air and enjoy the sunlight or their warped faces is just inhuman (sic). Try this: If a bot is killed in under three seconds after spawning, no spawning will occur at that location a random period set for a least 60 seconds. Turrets and weapons lockers are not immune to spawning past Experienced, maybe not at all.

It’s SO great that it’s losing more and more players by the week :unamused:

Lack of maps, still no full Delta Squad, broken ranking, quitters galore, constant gameplay rebalancin, over emphasis on cosmetics, grindin etc etc

Yeh… no thanks. I’m out

(well at least back to 4)

(and until OP3 to see if they put right any of the above mentioned wrongs)

TC pulled a Street Fighter V, when in reality they should have pulled an MK11.
Don’t dumb down the tech, teach the noobs the tech so they can actually hold their own and appreciate VS.

Boot camp in Gears 5 is a joke.

I don’t think its this bad for the gears franchise. Gears 5 is the only gears that felt like a step back in every direction in the game. Sad. The art direction also feels super lacking in creativity. I think some very talented people left the studio, and they’re not talking about.
