This Week in Gears - Jan 12th - 18th

This tuning is absolutely ******* terrible. Why does TC continue to destroy their own game!!! The tuning was fine before…

[Civilize_85ers]

in my opinion, maybe with the exception of one or two things, the previous tuning was the best in gears history

[Darkwarrior1208]

Gears 5 is now worse than judgement it’s not even debatable anymore

[Slipping_Flames]

So, I never really played the beta tuning enough to get a feel for it.

Does it play more like competitive tuning from Gears 4? Just slower?

Looks like the rifles have been nerfed enough to allow the gnasher to be king. Crossing would still be effective, but a single player can’t hold a lane now.

Makes me appreciate horde and escape. You get comfortable with the tuning and can focus on playing.

I feel like Gears 5 PvP is a different game each time I try it again.

I can’t kill anyone with a lancer now. Even pouring fire into a non moving target in the head was a waste of bullets.

I don’t mind the speed change but won’t touch versus again like this. Probably not even my beloved arcade. Escalation is terrible with a lancer that does nothing.

That’s the problem with this game. It drastically changes too much too often.

The newest tuning makes the game feel slow and clunky again. It literally feel like the characters stepped in gum and have it stuck on the bottom of their boots. The last tuning was fine.

[blah_no_tag]

Well, I decided to give it a chance even though I did in the beta tuning. This update is great if you want time to play other games. Definitely won’t be playing multiplayer for a while that’s for sure. It’s only good for people who corner camp and bot walk all game. Horrible update I really don’t know how they even think this update is what the community wanted or even will make the game better

[dannyjo22]

Thanks for not wrecking the best versus game mode, arcade. Still plays perfectly, lancer still does something.

[FUNKDOKTOR]

The problem with all the nerfs is that everything that was nerfed has already been nerfed numerous times. The Claw. The Enforcer. THE BOLTOK was already useless. Now its double useless. The Markza was fun to use. Now not so much. The additional delays and movement slow downs that make the game feel like your running in cold syrup. Its just confusing who The Coalition is listening too.and weighing when they decide to implement all these changes that as far as im concerned pretty much 99.5% of the player base doesnt want. And Why? If nobody wants it…bad bad move @Thecoalition.

[AmicableWall421]

I saw a post claiming they wanted the PvE stuff to be the same as PvP now. After playing Coop vs AI, I don’t need the bother of having super slow motion weapon swaps that take 5 seconds and characters that are supposed to be fit running like they weigh over a 100 kgs with extra weights strapped to their boots while they haven’t worked out or had much physical exercice in years while the enemies down you in 2-4 shots on high difficulties.

[illusoryMage]

Wait they applied this across the board not just pvp?

[AmicableWall421]

No, no. I saw a post saying they WANTED it across the board for “consistency” between modes(can’t seem to find it now however). But this Versus tuning can sod off, if I wanted to watch slow motion I’d be going on YouTube for that.

Currently PvE is spared from it. Already stupid enough they forced the active reload bar change to Lancer, Gnasher and Snub that results in a jam more often than not because it speeds the bar up on purpose by a ridiculous amount and isn’t in the middle like every other weapon into all modes instead of just leaving the bars as is and only removing the active bonus for Versus.

Gears 5 Tactics Onyx Guard Texture Error/Horde movement

First of all I wanna talk about the texture stretching between the shoulder plate and chest armour, it’s a big eyesore for me as it’s so noticeable. Clearly a UV error or something, it’s the same on cog gear and it hasn’t been fixed, so could you please get a 3D artist to look at it and fix it. Also applying a deeper voice modulator to the onyx guard would be amazing to make them more imposing on the battle field, It would distinguish the cog gears and the onyx guards and I feel that a lot of pl…

that one?

[AmicableWall421]

Has to be, but I was searching in topics actually related to the tuning rather than that.

[GB6_Kazuya]

Gears is really losing its sense of brutality by having pathetic, weak BB guns in place of actual damaging weaponry.

Makes me miss Gears 4’s Core Tuning. No mercy.

[FUNKDOKTOR]

@GB6_Kazuya im headed back to Gears 4 until this change is reverted. Come on over too.

[WHEL4N]

Yep I’m gonna download it again I think

[illusoryMage]

There’s this candy thing they sell that’s sort of a shotgun. It shoots marshmallows. It’s basically a pump shotgun. Actually it’s just a tube that shoots marshmallows.

Yeah that. That’s this game.

[GB6_Kazuya]

Precisely.

[FawnSwine4252]

Just played Escalation and medals is not tracking. Why would anyone play this mode and my progress is not tracking. Im done with the mode.
