I mean, I could go back to Gears 5. I’m just not gonna play Tactics.
As much as we want this to happen, it sucks to say that the hero system is here to stay for now. I haven’t played a complete horde match for about 3 months now and probably never will again. The only time I play horde is to complete daily objectives for tour of duty. I only focus on elimination based objectives or kill x amount of enemies as (insert character name here). That’s it. No way I’m going to complete an objective that requires me to complete x amount of waves on insane. I could do it, but prefer not too. I’ll just reroll it. Hopefully for Gears 6 they go back to the class system for horde.
Well, two things: 1, I got Game Pass Ultimate to get Gears 5 early (and may play Phoenix Point before returning to Game Pass on console), and 2, I would be happy if we stuck with the Gears 3 style of Horde. I feel like Gears 2’s Horde, while a decent first attempt, wasn’t completely fleshed out. Horde in Gears 5, as is, is dumbed down to use the hero system. (Also, how can you spawn a holographic ammo crate full of actual ammo, for example?) Gears 4’s Horde 3.0 was too complicated, as it became which class was better than trying to survive as a team.
At this point, any horde from the past games is better than 5’s in my opinion. I enjoyed playing as the sniper especially in Gears 4. Popping headshots left and right along with explosive headshot to kill any nearby enemies. Also, no restrictions like duplicate characters or locking classes behind specific characters. No restrictions from buying any weapon from the fabricator. It could’ve been more fun if there were more enemies though. Every wave was predictable. I do agree with having a Gears 3 style horde. That was fun too. I miss the locust in horde.

Maybe, we could have Locust, Swarm AND Deebees, but it’d have to be with the Locust’s source code from the UE campaign, as opposed to just reskins, like in the Terminator: Dark Fate event (which I participated in just for the banner).
I’m pretty sure they’re directed towards the devs. You don’t care what those posts have to say, and the people who post them don’t care what you have to say. It’s pretty simple.

Oh yeah I know. I bet TC knows that part of Gears 5 decline is how they screwed up horde but won’t admit it. They would rather lie and say that it’s popular and more people like it. Pretty sure last time I played horde was with you and red perhaps. I was thinking of playing it but I am so far behind with my character levels there really is no point in trying.
Yeah, it’s such a shame people can voice their honest opinions without any restraints.

Just noticed the double dragon profile pic. Brings back alot of memories. The stand up is what I played, when that line was full I was on Mat mania. Give anything to be a kid again in that era. (Can’t forget renegade)

It doesn’t bother me but I know that it bothers some people who enjoy the game and when they drop by the forums they just see all kinds of negativity. My advice is not to worry about that if you enjoy the game, and not just for Gears 5 I mean any game
That is correct that image its from SUPER DOUBLE DRAGON from the SNES, I used to play a lot that game my friend, back when I was about 13 years old man LOL.
That game was great back in the day, at least better developed than Gears 5 lol .

Ah, the nostalgia. Most of the same people did the same thing in Gears 4. See all of you in 6.
Yeah you guys know all about others, right?
I never made a I am going to quit post. As I am still playing. I still have fun with the game
BUT
Until Gears 4 I was a total junk, coming home after work and playing for hours, even on my own.
Today I only play when my friends or wife are with me and sometimes dont play at all for one and two weeks. Just because it is too frustrating when we play and I therefore dont feel the urge to play so much.
And if that frustrates people so much they quit completely - it is their full right to yell it out in this forum. Thats the whole point. You can dislike such posts but it is stupid that you think you can tell people to not express their feelings on this desaster.

There’s nothing wrong with expressing your feelings on the game. That’s 97% of the discussion in this forum (the other 3% is Delivery Driver Mac memes).
What some people find grating and melodramatic, are the self-important windbags who feel the need to make their own personal thread to let us all know that they are leaving - usually for some combination of issues already being discussed in a hundred other threads - as though they are special, and their particular handful of gripes and whines are worthy of special attention. Because they are leaving, dontcha know.
It’s akin to the toddler loudly telling their parents they really are running away this time. I wouldn’t be shocked if half the people here who say they can’t stand Gears 5 and are done with it, actually play it more than I do.
STALKER ALERT Lol
