Why? Who asked for these?

Gears 5

Big MK fan here. Freddy Kreuger and Kratos were eye-rolling additions in MK9band so is potentially having Mr. Purple Lamborghini in MK11. WB doesn’t care as long as “character that make blood spurt go in bloody gory game”. Who cares if Alien and Jason and crap like that don’t fit aesthetically in a game where it’s about Martial Arts Action meets Fantasy.
At the very least with Terminator and possibly Ash they at least fit the time-travel theme of MK11.

You just can’t compare shooter fanbases and the FGC/Fighting game fans. Crossovers have been a staple in the genre since the 90’s (i.e. Marvel Vs. Capcom, SNK Vs. Capcom, etc.). Fighting games have always been about the multiplayer and their inherent spectacle. But few Fighter titles care much about preserving the theme and aesthetic of their games when it comes to multiplayer and dlc.

Shooters used to keep a consistent atmosphere and aesthetic even in their multiplayer, but that’s been getting distorted with more flashy cosmetics and such.
This vid kinda explains that dilemma better with Team Fortress 2 as the example:

It’s because Nintendo holds true to one aspect that makes the game good: a unique game and playstyle.

Why fix what isn’t broken?

…I’m glad I found you.

We are having terrible technical problems putting your latest idea together and need further direction. We feel “Portal but it’s a toilet” could revitalize our game studio if done properly. Please drink at least one (1) liter of alcohol and contact us with further details.

That’s pretty much the essence of the problem , that they tried to fix something that was working and along the way the add so much stuff and the problem increased exponentially.

I really don’t know why they did that but Gears 5 its the result of that and specially horde , which that game mode doesnt feel like original horde in any way.

Hey You have your opinion and there is nothing wrong with you liking the game, I actually loved horde til 5 came out, and ruined it. Versus is garbage and escape should have a story behind it since it’s based on the comics but instead they just gave us another mode. I’m disappointed with Gears 5 and I haven’t played it since I deleted it about a month ago.
I like the way you approach the dialogue and don’t just say "You’ll be back, You know you’ll buy the micro-transactions, you know you’ll redownload it. There’s this little tiny tick on this forum who just annoys people and doesn’t even have an argument on why gears 5 is good. I’m glad your enjoying it, but the microtransactions also put the nail on the coffin

You make it sound like it was minor changes, They changed Horde to force you play a certain character that maybe people wouldn’t want to play. They sell you 2 skins for $20 it’s horrible, though you might not need to buy it, the lack of characters in the game, makes some blathering schumck buy it who has no control. Versus is a lancer fest and while I don’t really see the problem with that, they made it feel a little bit more like call of duty with the arcade where you kill enough people and it unlocks weapons. I’m actually surprised that the game died so quick

#156

I’m no farseer, so I can’t say if someone will come back, nor would I. I hope that whoever plays whatever game enjoys it. That’s what gaming is about. Enjoyment. If someone enjoys pacman I would suggest they’d stick to it. Ofc. They are free to try out things, but nobody should be forced to play a game.

It’s the game’s job (and community) to get players interested. The stream yesterday seemed good. But I won’t judge till the words are converted into actions.

That’s not in their hands buddy. It’s Microsoft who makes that call.

#166

Yeah you are right the coalition have to wait on Microsoft to email them exactly what characters the can release lol I doubt that. At worst they have to run it past Microsoft buddy but they still make the call on what’s next. Yes they are probably forced to put terminator into the game due to a deal but they are in control as to whether we get locust or ffn debees or carmines or ffn cog gears.

#167

And you’re quite the opposite of what people ask.

Selling them? People want to be able obtain them for free. Like the current ones. The promo characters are mandatory to have a price tag that they can’t influence.
