Correction Sir or Madam, it has a 2.5 * rating on the official Xbox store.

Well I’ll just keep it 2.7 to be nice.
Lmao
As funny as reading this is, and knowing it likely is auto correct, it is magnetism and not magnesium.
Wrong. Bullet magnesium is a bigger issue than bullet magnetism. Overdosing on magnesium is a serious concern when playing Gears5.
I don’t know what is used in Gears Flashbangs, but it doesn’t look like magnesium to me.
The point is more important then the spelling.
Of course it is, but do you lose anything by not being serious from time to time?
It’s in the words bullet magnesium. Ever since the fall of the Locusts, metals needed to make bullets were harder to find so they started using magnesium. Now everytime yo take a shot, you get a boost of it in your system. It’s a serious health concern and TC needs to resolve this asap.
(K it’s early in the morning don’t even know what I’m talking about anymore lol 
)
I’ve been joking on here frequently tbh, but I’m to the point with this game where I’ve lost my laugh when it comes to the anything related to it. Not personal to you.
Almost every game above it on that list is either a Battle Royale or an EA sports game, I see nothing above it that wasn’t already going to be above it regardless.
From review bombs on the MS store, it’s sitting in the high 8s on Metacritic.
Lol, I love it when people use twitch or mixer as a some kind of metric. Right now, Gears 5 is in the middle of very solid games. By your logic, the fact that Borderlands 3 has fewer views than nerds sitting in front of a camera playing D&D means that it too is a failure. This streaming nonsense can’t be measured in a way that’s an actually useful indicator of quality.
Since this was indirectly aimed at me, that’s simply not my mentality whatsoever. Am I not allowed to take the opinion that the game has been made easier with a reduced skill gap, whilst also being perfectly aware that I’m not pro or even all that good in the grand scheme of things?
Is he not allowed to poke fun of you for it?
Of course, just didn’t seem like a joke on the back of that other guy basically accosting me of being terrible at gears 
Because once again, the gears community created the meta for gears online. Gears 1 multiplayer was thrown in last minute and was pretty basic and the players took it and made it one of the most fun multiplayer experiences of all time. It was pretty easy because the shotgun gameplay was definitely the most fun. The community was very big which is why these changes anger so many people. Look at cod adding jet packs
Wasn’t talking about you I was making a generalization. But why does it matter if it’s made easier. If it’s easier for new people to get kills it’ll also be easier for you so it balances out.
Like I said, it has become joyless to play in my opinion. I am still playing well, but if you dumb a game down enough it simply becomes boring. I played ranked on 5 for a while and honestly tried to give it a fair shake, but on returning to gears 4 I realised just how dull MP on 5 is in comparison. Again, it has absolutely nothing to do with how well I’m doing, the game itself is now joyless to play. One simple example of this: Headshots with snipe/boltok/markza are now meaningless, you just get handed them on a plate. You had to earn headshots in gears 4 even in social play. I don’t receive enjoyment from the skill gap being reduced so far that it is now less competitive than social play in the previous game.
Edit: spelling

Matchmaking tells a different story, it says the reviews on the Xbox fans are raw reviews from the fans that have played, and don’t anymore. Personally the fans review means more to me then some business junkies paid off by Microsoft to give this game a good review. Plain as day.
If they game was good it would be doing a lot better with player count and if you say the player count is good, I’d challenge you to show me your numbers because the 22nd most played game for one of Microsoft’s core games is pathetic.
And yes for Gears to have literally no viewers when it had big success on YouTube in the past means it did have a big audience, it doesn’t now, it’s not fun to play, so definitely not fun to watch.
I always try to point that out to people saying Cliffy B needs to get hired back. He’s really the last thing we need. He’d probably turn it into a BR or something.
People seem to forget that Gears 1’s MP was a success despite itself. That mode was tacked on and barely thought about. Once they started putting effort into it, it got worse, and worse, and worse, then better, then worse again lol.
I was referring to the user metacrictic, not the review site score. And I’m not seeing the same matching problems others claim to be, which makes me suspect that it’s more related to the clusterf**k that is the regional servers than the overall playerbase.
Is what it is, you’re convinced it’s dying, I’m convinced it’s not. Only time is going to prove one of us right.
