That’s what I was thinking. GoW4 was trashed on the forums since launch and now it’s the gold standard after 5 came out. Gears 5 will change a lot post launch just as GoW4 did. People are so dramatic and negative that they will never allow themselves to like a new GoW game. They think changing mechanics will kill the game, but in reality its much more likely to be a toxic fan base.

Yeah! Amen to that!
I like Gears 5 as it is as well. Celebrate the old and enjoy the new!
Yep. I’m no pro, but I held my own in 4. 5 is nothing but frustrating
Flashbangs are so annoying. In HDR they’re enough to burn your corneas.

Relax it is only a game 
gears 5 is great game. If you do not like it then play previous Gears titles. The series has to move on, It can not stay the same for years.

I tried to adapt. I play a lot of different games. Usually have no problems switching between them. But in this one I cannot figure out how I can overcome shots that hit when they miss. Or shots that are directly in at point blank that do not count. Not going to post vids at this point but I have seen plenty around showing how bad it is. So bad already that all the people I played Gears with from 1-4, obviously some did not play 1 or 2, just refuse to play. Getting the ■■■■ today, I was on both sides at varying points made me realize it is just poorly made mp and I am done. Campaign will be finished though.

Not all critics are critics because they suddenly found themselves not good at the game.
The movement to me is fine after the adjustment period. It’s things like generous aim assist, hitboxes, quiet dropshot and salvo…these things are akin to having a bowling tournament where everyone is using rails. What’s the fun. I get headshots all the time
with Boltok. I don’t even have to aim at my opponent to kill them with my gnasher. The list goes on.
They did this to suck people into the pvp experience as the number one complaint about gears is that it’s too hard.

why are people here saying we now feel like 4 is the gold standard of gears? Lol that game was trash too. What people are saying is compared to gears 5, 4 was amazing
lmaoo.
And no this game isnt great. Bullet magnetism, bad hit boxes, aim assist, op weapons and bad servers does not make a game good. Stop defending this game saying its great when it really isn’t. The game has problems and it’s okay if you’re okay with that, the majority of us aren’t.

I admit the game has problems that need to be fixed but it’s only been out 2 weeks. Gears 4 was a wreck when it came out also. It’s fine to voice concerns and give feedback to make the game better but all you see is gears 5 sucks and it’s the worst and I’m done with this trash. Then leave and stop filling the forum with useless topics.

I have played all the gears, and I must say that Gears 5 is a very good game, the campaign is very good, I was very surprised and I loved it, honestly the people who complain I do not understand it, I guess they like to complain about everything, surely thanks to them we would always have the same game, we have to innovate and Gears 5 has done it, but still maintains the roots of the saga, the multiplayer with the future will be better, with more maps, characters and modes, but let’s think, no It has not even 2 months since its launch.
In fact I congratulate TC for making his game with total freedom and still having a very good Gears, I know what I’m talking about because I have spent the whole saga and I’m a fan.

Then we should have adapted to the sawed off? Retro lancers? Smoke drags? Judgement and its weapon system?
Tc never should have released patches and updates tweaking the guns? Removing hammerburst? You are saying to just adapt right?
Adapting isnt a blanket excuse you can slap on things… its lazy.
If that’s the case I want my g3 hammerburst back and you can just adapt to my trigger finger when I put you down from across the screen…let you get up and then toss my smoke frag to watch you get knocked over and then blast you with my sawed off…
Like you said…adapt …

I forgot, I have not yet had any failures in the game, neither in the campaign nor in the multiplayer, I know that there are failures but they were in the first days, in fact the affections were compensated as I have read, the bugs are not so many not as frequent as some want to appear, it has just happened to some people
Lol so true I play gears 4 and 3, didn’t really play 4 during it’s cycle cause it was monetised trash and wasn’t fussed on mp after ue, but ye I like gears 4 because it does look gold standard in comparison to 5 haha
Yes 4 was trashed a lot when it came out but it still had the core gameplay intact, it was just a little tangeled in the new system. TC started changing things right away and added content a little later.
Gears 5 however just completely changed the heart of gears. That is what people are upset about. No amount of tweeking will bring it back.
Plus they’re waiting TILL DECEMBER to fix, add, or change anything.

This right here. I’ve come to like the movement after playing more. I liked UE and I liked Gears 3, so this or that movement doesn’t make or break the game for me.
The thing that I don’t like is how useful or not useful your movement can be. Why? The generous aim assist and the gigantic hitboxes.
You can’t do a wall to wall cancel in midair like before. You can’t up A and run back the other way immediately like before. You can’t pretend you don’t see them and surprise them with a strafe.
All those subtle but skillful things are no longer in the game.
I don’t love or hate the game but there is no denying that it got casualized and that the dynamic is simply not there anymore.
Now it is just hop on and play. Can i still put up a giant scoreline? Yup. Can I still get by far the most kills and destroy people? Yes.
But that doesn’t mean there is a true skill gap in the game. I just punish their stupidity, I don’t feel that satisfying feeling like before.
This is in essence a Gow J 2.0

Very original comparison, I’m sure you didn’t xerox that whole speil from original thinkers, either.
Can i give you 1 billion likes?
Look, I don’t want them to destroy their creation and scrap their plan for the game but there is no denying that the game has to be tweaked.
I’m not someone who wants it my way or no way. No, I understand that what I might like is not something that another person likes. What is good or bad doesn’t necessarily mean what you like or don’t.
For example, I like the faster pinball movement but I think a slower movement is better for the game. Now, did they go too far in some things? Absolutely.
There has to be give and take in a community - like in a two way street.
