I’m definitely going to see what he’s like in campaign. Im hoping he did a good job, and it comes out great. If he is so passionate about the role, it should be awesome.
Maybe he try to Bautist-bomb the Queen!? 
Instead of fix the game, they add this…
Each time I try to play a competitive match I have high ping, no matter what mode, every hour, every day, always above 150 - 200 or more, being unplayable, the damn wi fi icon on the bottom on the screen, and causing micro stuttering.
I played very well Gears of War 3 with ADSL (copper) with 1 MB download speed and less than 500 kbps upload speed, but now with optic fiber and better latency with my ISP, low latency and better download/upload speeds (30/12 Mbps respectively), the competitive game is a mess, TC tainted the franchise.
He looks like a misplaced 12 year old kid, the only thing he has going for him is his body size. That’s it. Steroid mutated 12 year old…
No hes a terrible actor and furthermore makes gears 5 feel less like a real gears.
Hordebusters!

Yes: Dave Bautista
It’s like they have preconceived ideas and make no adjustments based on consumer reports or desires. It’s actually mind blowing in a way but it becomes less surprising over time. They should have a players only committee.
“Give them what they want” is literally how any entertainment product survives.
Giving ONE GUY what he wants is a really weird thing to spend so much time on. Maybe Dave wrote TC a fat check to get himself into the campaign? That I would not fault them for, at least. 
You don’t get what you ask for. They do the opposite
Just my opinion:
This was a complete and utter waste of dev time as are the other changes to the campaign. Don’t need him in the campaign, don’t need the visual modifiers, don’t need nor do I want colorful weapon skins in the campaign. When I play the story I play it for just that and I want it as authentic to the world as possible. I don’t think anyone asked to use their rainbow skins in campaign. I know people asked for different skins for COG and Swarm but instead we get this rubbish
/Shrug
In Gears 4 TC did at least 3 surveys. I completed 2 as requested.
Gears 5…zero surveys to my knowledge.
And yes, there is one guy who thinks it’s great.
Where are you @AirBorn218?
Being fair I never said it was great, I said the Mutators were a great addition, I said if people didn’t like it they didn’t have to use it.
Nobody asked for it, but are you really surprised? They added luchador Oscar, rappers, and a ton of rehashes. Just typical TC stuff
It is very sad that those people who were made responsible for the last update in part 4 for almost 2 years have not been able to do it. Personally, I’ve been waiting for the opportunity to create skins for the last two achievements in part 4 for almost 2 years. I have nothing against Batista, the topic is vigorous and he, as a person, very much fits into this project, but against the background of problems that really worry me and many players, this innovation looks like a distraction
Yea, Rod F. That’s who.
Not me, don’t even like the guy, I don’t like immersion breaking stuff anyways. But I also am not forced to use it(Not interested in Achievements and if I was, someone suggested using it in Act 3)
So hey if enough people enjoy it go for it.
I’ve wanted customization, modifiers and new game plus in the campaign… but I expected the game to launch with that stuff. Most of that stuff was done in gears 3… a decade ago!! The fact that Rod F wanted to go back to a gears 2 era game (content wise) when they launched 4 was just a huge slap in the face! These are things some of us do like in game, but expect the game to launch with it.
The campaign was so buggy for me that I refused to go back and replay the whole thing again until new game plus was added so I could actually complete the missing cheevos (all of jacks upgrades, all relic weapons, etc). Yes, there’s a lot of ppl who expected these features 2 games ago at launch, so it’s also very annoying that they finally decide to add it all now, but… I imagine they’re being added because the ppl who were against that stuff the most (Rod f and Ryan c) are gone and TC can now do more to make more of us happy. The whole Batista thing has been in development since Rod f was still there so they can’t scrap it due to the money they put into developing it, so that silly “recording Batista as Marcus” thing was always gonna be added, but I feel the extra custom stuff is an addition that wouldn’t of happened with Rod still at TC.
Anyway, I’d have preferred a gears 3 style ribbon/medal war journal any day of the week over what we’re getting, but at the very minimum, I’m glad we’re getting some stuff to add campaign replayability.
Which is a huge shame, if MS/Bungie had released a Halo movie many years ago (when Halo was drastically more popular) it would’ve made tons of money and could’ve catapulted the franchise further, but because MS would rather make crappy Halo games (Halo 4 and 5 and just about anything else 343i makes) they’ve only hurt the brand.
One of the things this guy suggested is that you should never let players/customers give solutions, because often they just give bad advice, its why Gears of War remakes trash maps all the time, because fans are terrible at giving advice.
Before I misinterpret-are you am saying it was customer ideas that wanted all these changes to campaign but nothing relevant done to PVE?
Reverting back to the class system which is pointless in my opinion is an example that connects EXTREMELY well with what you are saying though.
