The Big Tuning Thread

Gears 5
#587

I’m agree with this random dude I have never seen before. I’m, like him, not a maniac wallbouncer and really enjoy doing it and killing people while bouncing like idiot.

I’m surely not the best wallbouncer by far but it’s a fun mechanic different from other shooters. I also rage when a streamer/pro player dances in front of me and kills me bouncing after doing him 99% damage. However is FUN when I do the same to him and it’s part of the game: improvise, adapt, overcome.

The meta now is point and shoot, if you start wallbouncing you loss. It’s simple and intuitive, like Halo: point, shoot, win. This is why Gears was different from another games back in 2008. You have to think, cover, cancel cover, point, shoot, start moving between walls, dodge bullets and kill in 1 shot.

Yeah, if that’s seriously the case I’m done too. Been playing dark souls remastered. Haven’t turned on the game, and unfortunately it’s going to stay that way untill this gets reverted. If not, I’ll try gears 6 off gamepass.

I’ll follow the forums to check on the status of the game until I forget the game exists. I’m out.

I don’t like to announce walking away from a video game because it’s pointless which I’m sure you feel the same way. However, in this case, it’s part of being vocal about our displeasure with this game in its current state. This game, like any Gears, has never been perfect. One change was great but another one in the same update would create an undesirable consequence or experience. They would then address that later but only after breaking what was initially done right in the update.

The issue now is that they’ve gone nuclear. They took everything that was great about Gears 5 and made it terrible. They left the bad stuff alone which is frustrating. Now we’re, in my opinion, sitting here with the worst Gears tuning yet.

Such a bitter taste for TC’s attitude more than anything. The dev stream was completely incoherent today.

We really need a responsive community manager.

Makes me miss Octus and Cleven

@TC_Sera is a great community manager. But remember — she is employed by The Coalition and must follow their guidelines as per her employment. She’s always been helpful but some things are out of her control.

I think you forget how little Octus said on these forums. Again, like Sera, this was not his fault. But it was frustrating.

yeah, i know. i guess im just venting frustration at the feedback gathered and the lack of responses from anyone at all.

i cant imagine any of us are feeling anything other than frustration and sadness after what we just watched.

Are they “seriously” gonna keep the worst tuning that Gears 5 has had so far???

What a joke and if this tuning stays it will just show how much they no idea on what makes Gears “Gears”

Job well done on ruining anything salvageable from Gears 5…thanks

I guess their goal is to have 0 player count

What makes gears of war different from any other game? , the movement, the cover system, what happend if you kill the unique think that is different? exactly , you kill the game, now the game is boring, new players that dont even touch any gears game can kill experiment players that have been playing gears since 2 , the game now is boring af, all of my friends think the same way , when you put that awful tunning in gow 4 when the game comes out ALL the community was unhappy and you had to change de movement , why now you go backwards? , the game has to be fast and vertiginous , if not the game will be dead in months i guarantee you. 0 skill gap ,now the game is playing like a bot , walk and shot or wait in a cover like a noob. come on TC stop killing this game.

Show the clip again in 0,25x speed and say again is my fault omg.

#599

The only thing I would change is buff the rifle damage or get rid of retical bloom. I’m still having players rush in a straight line because they are afraid of the rifles.

Sry wrong Understand :slight_smile:

The weapon swap speed still isn’t slow enough. Slowing it down was the only universally positive change — it punishes people for being too slow to swap, it punishes people for lancering in the wrong situations, it’s an amazing change that’s being overshadowed by a far larger update. If you care about having a skillgap, then you should want to punish people for making mistakes.

Edit: https://twitter.com/sSnubs/status/1248552486337732610 it was literally ridiculous before, no clue why anyone would ever want that.

#604

That’s what you think, but nope.

Yeah if you waited… then easy kill for you bc of the embar.

Oh well.

I cited on the “pro discord” how gears 5 fell from 30-35th of the top 50 games literally overnight and still isnt top 50.

Lo and behold, they took it personally and started insulting me.

Then some guy who thinks he is some kind of master debater tried to tell me how the microsoft store is wrong and how there COULD BE “many variables as to why it isnt top 50 anymore” when its hovered in the same spot for weeks then suddenly sunk below 50 when the beta tuning rolled out. Yea, totally a coincidence.

Like he expected me to have a 5 page essay backing my claim when this info is all that is needed.

Amd I’m telling you it didn’t make anyone think twice. The overall player base isn’t thinking this.

I could log on this weekend and the game will play the same but slower.

My examples are actual evidence that things haven’t changed. Which you dismiss as we would just go back and forth because you don’t honestly have a great argument to begin with here.

I’m going to lancer you, I’m gonna pop shot you for dmg, I’m gonna back a and up a when the situation calls for it. I’m gonna lock you out of hills if I can with every tuning.

I’ll slide, bounce, strafe , stand still and avoid wall cover shots because I suck at them to kill you. Old tuning or new tuning the game is still the same in that regard.

Agreed just less entertaining because it’s slower. It hardly did anything but SLOW the game down for the sake of slowing it down and in result making it feel a little bit laggier and unresponsive.

The outcome is this.

A slower game. Separation of the player base. More loss in playerbase.

I would’ve rather have had the gib range reduced slightly and left all this other stuff alone. TC need to STOP changing the game for the worse and destroying the playerbase.

Hello, don’t mind me I came a little bit late but just wanted to join the others and say that this tuning is ■■■ and I will not be playing this game until the changes are reverted.

Thank you for reading my friend, you can keep scrolling down now.
