Anyone playing this shit? Gears of War 1 is the only Gears game I liked and I thought the rest were utter shit. This is worse than the original Gears, but still pretty good and hopefully they make it more like the original game in a couple more patches or something but they probably won't. Had a shitload of glitches and crashes on Steam for a couple weeks after the release but it seems to be working now. I never played ultimate edition either because i assumed it was dogshit and they fucked it up, which they probably did, so it's nice playing gears 1 again even though it's not as good as the original. Also I dont care about the campaigns or anything so I'm mostly just talking about multiplayer. The campaigns for 2 and 3 were retarded. 4 and 5 look like giga retarded horseshit made by fucktarded chimps. GOW 1 campaign was great, but I would probably just play the original game if I wanted to play the campaign again. The multiplayer for the original has been dead for a very long time now, so I can finally play it again on the remaster of the remaster (which somehow still isn't as good as the original). You'd think they would get it right when they went so far as making the first remaster of a remaster ever. But gears 1 is so solid that it's still pretty good. So even though retarded fags "made" this it's not bad.

No one gives a fuck about this game I guess. Understandable because all of the games in the franchise are shit besides the first one. It's weird though because GOW 1 and Halo 3 were the most popular 360 games back then. Guess everyone that played back then got too old and died.

I refunded after 5 mins of playing, and I love gears.

3 was almost good, but a lot of stupid shit just ruined it, like the sawed off being a starter weapon. Don't even get me started on 2. It was completely fucked. Dunno how anyone who isn't actually severely mentally retarded was able to enjoy 2.
>>
>>721038130
What happened in those 5 minutes? I tried to refund me when the game didn't work on Steam but I was slightly over the 2 hour limit so they forced me to keep it even though it was broken for everyone on steam for a while.

How? It was so bad I don't want to even begin to explain because it makes me so angry how retarded and fucked up it was. I'm only talking about the multiplayer by the way. The campaign was alright but still pretty goofy compared to 1.
>>
>>721038783
Well if you haven't been able to play the multiplayer for a while since it's dead, it's a good opportunity to do so before it dies again. It seems like so many people are insanely good at the game now too which I didn't really expect. Everyone's cracked now compared to back then.
>>
>>721036534
I'd rather replay the original, these remakes look off and not nearly as gritty.
>>
>>721039204
This is very true. For replaying the campaign I would definitely agree. But I love the multiplayer modes like execution, etc and I'm pretty sure no one is playing it online on 360 anymore.

You dipshits have a terminal case of nostalgia goggles. I played through every Gears game this month and gameplay wise, every sequel in the OG trilogy got better. Better gun sounds and weapon feel, light environmental destruction, better set pieces and gameplay variety. Guaranteed the retards in this thread saying 1 is the best one have not play it in 19 years since it came out. You could argue about the aesthetics and atmosphere though. That did drastically change in 3.

The only really shitty games were Judgment and 4. Judgement because it played like a arcade horde mode dlc that got turned into a full game and 4 because DBs were a shitty dull and boring faction that took over half the campaign. The swarm were okay. Just rehashed locust. Way too many tanky enemies and juvies. And too many fucking storm sections.

And yes, Reloaded is the worst iteration of GoW1. Ultimate and OG are better.

The guys who played COD4, Gears, and Halo 3 were either normies who grew out of video games when they got older and got jobs and relationships, or NEET autists who became chuds and stopped playing video games after they became fucking gay in 2016. That's why Microsoft has been hit harder the last two generations

I wanted to play it on hardcore but then I forgot how the game cheats

Sure but I still dropped the series after 2 in spite of that and I replayed the original a few years back and still enjoyed it. On paper the sequels are better but theres something seriously off about them.
>>
>>721039574
The multiplayer was best in 1 because of how the community unintentionally applied the cover system to enhance movement. Once wall bouncing and roadie running and shit got nerfed it was just guys slow-strafing out of cover with shotguns and the winner was whoever's connection was better because their shotgun pellets would land quicker.

Really the whole idea of a cover-based shooter where it takes a full magazine to kill someone with an assault rifle but shotguns instagib you at average engagement distances was stupid to begin with.

People stopped caring about both series for the exact same reason. Changed to worse developers. Judgment was made by People Can Fly and the Coalition fucked up by turning the super manly high testosterone series into girl boss shit. They introduced Marcus son in 4 and replaced him in 5. This random bitch nobody cares about, somehow has connections to the queen.

So bad they had to drop this whole new story and go back to E-Day.
>>
>>721039574
Yeah this is why I have to say im talking about the multiplayer. But I still like 1's campaign more because it was closer to something like a horror shooter and then the games after get more and more ridiculous and bright. So it's just preference. I understand how some people might prefer the Michael Bay shit in the games after 1. I liked the almost survival horror aspects of the first one and each enemy type was introduced perfectly and it was all scary and new. Then 2 is already over-the-top as fuck and reusing a lot of enemies we already saw and they just appear like nothing so it's hard to give a fuck. Then you have shit like railshooting and A GIANT WORM and new characters introduced just to be killed immediately. Pretty retarded in my opinion.
>>
I like how this dude has plot armor and is not allowed to die because of some fan voting over a decade ago. They even introduce 2 new Carmines after him and they both die too kek.

>>721039860

The original had a unique slower paced horror shooter vibe all the sequels dropped in favor of more action. 3 dropped the grittiness altogether. Was very clean and colorful in comparison.

Should I install Gears 4 and play it?

If you're going to play new one go with 5.

With proper servers it would probably feel somewhat like 3's. It was a rough experience, although I do miss the smoke knockdowns.

I don't get the appeal of horde either. I get nothing out of killing bots. It's something I tried once in 2 and never again because it was extremely boring. Always thought it seemed like something for retarded people.

Preference thing but I fucking hated the campaign. They went from cool underground super roided orc looking monsters with guns to...generic robots. Half the campaign you will be fighting them non stop. Their weapons feel weak, the flying drones with shields are tanky and they don't even react to getting shot so fighting them feels like shit.

Hated the new characters too because this is when Marvel movies were still hot and the dialogue is full of unfunny quips. Play it if you are interested but imo Gears 4 is the second worst game in the series.
>>

I have both, if you say it's shit I'll drink a beer every time someone repeats a Marvel quip.

>>721041703
>although I do miss the smoke knockdowns
This is what I'm talking about. How the FUCK can you like that SHIT? Stopping power fucked the game up too so you can't even use movement to get out of situations. It's just whoever spots someone first and you lancer them down. It's fucking retarded dogshit. And tagging the grenades so you can't even walk around the map without worrying about fucking randomly exploding after turning a corner and you have to worry about that forever. It's not fun and it's corny and fucking retarded dogshit. The online was also insanely laggy and the weapons were inconsistent as fuck. I would rather fucking die than play that SHIT again.
>>
There were a few maps in GOW 1 multi that had rain, but they got rid of all the rain in Reloaded. Kek the new devs couldn't figure out how to add rain.
>>
>>721041743
Yeah I find it very boring too. Just sitting there waiting for a new wave to start and continue killing bots. Why just not play the campaign instead. You get a story and exploration on top of the killing.

Which is why Judgement is the worst. The entire game is horde modes.
>>

>Once wall bouncing and roadie running and shit got nerfed
Cliffie B is kinda retarded, the sequels should've leaned more into those unintended mechanics but instead his ego couldn't handle people playing the game in ways that weren't intended by him, and in turn he made the skill ceiling painfully boring to spite the playerbase
>>

Solely because making Skorges fall to their death on River as they pick up the rifle or bow was amusing.

Every person spawning with a smoke that could ragdoll you to the ground for a minute or kill you if you were in the wrong spot made me constantly scream the N word insanely loudly like AVGN on crack when I was a high schooler back then. Seriously my most hated game.

Exactly, GOW 1 has a high skill ceiling and skill gaps which is how I like my vidya. I hate when they make it more fucktarded on purpose.

Gears of War didn't need any graphical remake, it only gets worse the third time. Why not remake Gears of War 2 or 3?

I tried really hard to like it, but it kept slapping me in the mouth every time. The hit registration was dogshit. I had to rely solely on spamming the hammerburst for kills since nothing else would work.

Microsoft is just profoundly retarded as we have seen by them destroying their console brand and 3 biggest IPs (Gears, Halo, Forza). Any other company would've made a remastered collection by now for $40.

Those games sucked too much so they keep forcing everyone to play the only good game in the franchise every time the multiplayer dies by re-releasing it again.

Are you talking about the multiplayer of the campaign? If you don't like the campaign I'm not sure what to say. You must have been in a bad mood when you played it, cause it's clearly the best. What don't you like other than the final boss?

Multiplayer. The campaign was okay but like I've already said previously, with 2 the series immediately got way more goofy and michael bay-esque compared to the dark/horror/gritty vibe of the first and I prefer the first one much more. The multiplayer was so bad in 2 that it makes it my most hated game of all time til this day. Was just pure suffering. It's for people that love killing bots and camping and lancering which is retarded and boring as fuck in my opinion. I hated when they killed off the new characters as soon as you meet them in 2's campaign as well. And this part in picrel was a fucking meme. Just seemed a lot more like amateur hour compared to the 1st game which seemed expertly crafted. I will say I'm a huge fan of games like Resident Evil and Silent Hill so the horror feel of Gears 1 really resonated with me.
>>
>>721045652
why do devs get so butthurt when they accidentally make a game fun anyway? some of them are like NOOOOOOO NO FUCK FUCK WE ACCIDENTALLY MADE IT WAY MORE FUN FIXXX IT MAKE IT BORING NOWNOWNOWNOWNOW!!!!!!!

Modern gamers were groomed to be retarded cattle who can't do anything unless the game automatically does it for them. It's actually fucked up. Games are so shit now that it makes people retarded. It's like getting brain damage from being locked in a closet for years with little to no human contact or something.

>721036534
Can they just port the whole trilogy to pc already, I don't understand how microsoft is so retarded to not have a complete collection of their franchises on any platform.
Halo 1-4, 6 on steam, if you want 5 fuck off
Halo wars 1 on steam, halo wars 2 only on ms store
Gears of war remastered and Gears 5 on steam, Gears 4 only on MS store, Gears 2 & 3 (the ones I want) fucking nowhere.
Its just so stupid
>>
>>721039707
Pretty sure the AI in the campaign is even more fucked up than the OG game too. Although I'm not 100% sure because I basically only played it co-op with friends back then. I'm pretty sure they fucked up the AI though because the devs fucked up a bunch of other shit and seem like retarded fuck ups. There's no way the AI was this fucking useless in the OG 2006 version.
>>
>>721042096
>the sequels should've leaned more into those unintended mechanics
They actually did do this with 2, 3 4, 5, and the remasters. You couldn't wall bounce this cracked out in the original and there was no option to have a dedicated button just for wall bouncing without rolling which they added starting with 2.
>>
>>721042297
>made me constantly scream the N word insanely loudly
Actually looking back on it I have no idea how my parents never heard me doing this or didn't say anything about it back then because they definitely would have taken my game or something if they heard this. I'm thinking they probably thought it was someone screaming outside because they couldn't imagine I was screaming the N word at the top of my lungs in the house while they were home.
>>
>>721046778
Or they thought I was screaming something else

>>721046474
AI is worse. It doesn't take cover as often and keeps vaulting over and over. Or it runs towards your teammates and they look at each other doing nothing.
>>
>>721037571
Its just kind of bad man, i remember buying into the hype and getting it on release date and the first mission was awesome, it was gritty and had this horror thematic, game got worse and worse after that. Its just very dull aside from the very start. Also played 2 and thought it was meh, all the emotional moments seem to come and go like nothing, after that i didnt played 3 or any other one.
>>
>>721046939
Can't relate, I think all of the 1st campaign is exciting until the end and the final boss against Raam on the train was ebic. Tons of memorable moments for me in the first game. Even when they introduced the Kryll it seemed new/exciting/thrilling.
>>
>>721046939
2 was actually bad though. Dunno how the first got boring at any part really. They were constantly introducing new enemies and mechanics in cool ways. But for me as a highschooler just headshotting a locust was cool as fuck every time.
>>
>>721046861
Love how it's legal to just sell broken dogshit now. It's like you can say a game has all of these features that don't work because the devs didn't fucking code them but it's the thought that counts. Fucking frauds. Die.
>>
>>721046368
At least you could technically buy a 360 and mod it to play them or buy the games too. Or if you still have a 360 and the games you can always hook it up and play. There are some games I wish I could play again but there's actually no possible way because they're gone forever. If you're wondering how that's even possible I'm talking about games that update and drastically change and there's no way to play the older versions which were like a completely different game. Main example being 2005-2006 MapleStory.

Even cutscenes are glitchy as fuck. Everything ran smooth on the 360 but Reloaded has models suddenly disappearing, teleporting, jittering. Really bad "remaster". Modern devs are just lazy as shit.

How do you remaster a game twice and fuck up so much shit? It's not even like they had to remake the game from the ground up or anything. They modified a remaster they already made. It should have horde mode and everything should be perfect. WHAT THE FUCK? I really believe it could have been a huge success if they weren't retarded as fuck and talentless.

I understand missing the horror from Gears 1, but there really weren't that many when you replay it several times. Also I think Act 2, 3, and 4 of Gears 2 have a lot of cool survival horror elements. Especially Act 3.

Gears 1 PVP was better by Gears 2 had Horde so it wins for me.
