why are folks so hyped about this?
>>740738358What else is there to be hyped about?
>>740738358I genuinely enjoyed the original gears trilogy and I'm glad we're finally getting another one that isn't about post trilogy lore
>>740738358 it's the kinda campaign I've wanted since Halo 2
>>740738358>why are people who played the other games in the series happy to have a prequelNo reason at all
>>740738358people are?
Because it looks good and fun
>>740738358Don’t know. I tried the remake and it isn’t as great as I remember. I’ll play it on gamepass if I have it at the time
>>740738358Looks kino
>>740739876Glad proper gore is back
It's actually kind of pathetic that people are more excited about DD2 shovelware than this.
>>740738358Have you seen that creatura ugly dyke bitch squad member? I don't want to play this for that alone.
>>740738358Retards liked Gear 5.
>>740740534>>740743660>>740743860Goddamn I want to play bro's
>12-player pvpve horde>Mommy Asha's first exclusiveGee idk man
Do I have to finish 5 to play E-Day?I can't finish 5. It's so gay.
>>740739876oh shit i completely missed you can execute the boomers with the lancer nowgod I hope this game sticks the landing
>>740738358It’s a Gears game that actually looks like Gears again. Honestly this series needs some kind of reboot cause the Swarm’s designs don’t hold a candle to the Locust and I likely won’t buy another game where they’re the main threat
>>740739876That dumb gorilla planet is crazy, they were hacking up humans with that shit before E-day.
>>740745823It's a prequel to GoW1, so probably not.
>>740738358It seems, aside from the ugly chicks, to be a proper return to form for the series, and finally get to see E-Day in full for the first time, along with Marcus and Dom together again.
>>740745823Not at all. This game was made pretty much to get as far away as possible from everything post-GOW3
>>740738358Yeah, hoping that it runs on my pc
>>740745823Just the original trilogy. It takes place before 1, with the beginning being E-Day, so that’s why The Locust are the enemies again, not The Swarm.
>women in your squadruined
>>740738358Back to classic Gears. I never want to see another swarm or deebee again.
>>740747286fucking retarded
>>740739876LOOK AT ALL DAT JUICE
>>740738358This is the era of gears that people have wanted a game in for like 15 years now
>>740739876>chainsaw the boomer's head>blood fountainFuck. The tranny during the conference and the ugly dyke nigger turned me off a lot, but it's hard not to want to to play it with what I see. Maybe I'll just mute it whenever the dyke talks until she's (hopefully) killed by the locust in a brutal fashion. The atomosphere looks a lot like Gears 1 for sure, which was needed after all the brightness of 5. There was no darkness in that horrible game unless you count Del, the black sidekick, or Cole Train who is a legacy character and actually good. Wonder if Ice T will be back.
>>740738358Continuation of the franchise means I might get a Gears Tactics 2
>>740748938Yea they seem to have done a great job on the violence this time around.>>740747636How is a 2 second loop of the Locusts marching from an e-hole retarded?
Here's one more
>>740745823This game only exists at all because people fucking hate Gears 4 and 5 so Microsoft went>fuck GO BACKPeople like Marcus and Dom, primarily. They just want to see them being bros and killing disgusting subhumans from underground. They are still sneaking in some strong females because it's modern gaming of fucking course and it makes no sense because women only started fighting in 3 because the entire fucking military had collapsed and most of the world with it. Remember that women were canonically in breeding farms in Gears of War prior to 3. Marcus had to hook Anya up with a gig in the military to spare her from that.
>>740738358Marcus, Dom, and Tai are back, the prequel to when 25% of humanity got wiped out, and we can ignore the Gears 4-5 games with the screaming woman.
>>740749973I believe they said they want to go back to that time period eventually. They just knew they had to earn some credibility back after the shitshow that was 5. I'm honestly a little surprised they did this considering it's what fans wanted. 4 had some decent horror vibes but the characters messed it up (even though I like JD no one will beat Marcus for this series).>>740749519Damm. The ragdolls also look more like the originals with the body going all crazy.
>>740739876But as of E-Day, the lancers didn't have the chainsaw bayonet yet.Must be multiplayer or a time skip.
because it actually looks good
>>740747718It's because they spent 15 years listening to indians, women and gay people instead of actual players. Look at the current CEO of Microshit, even Jews don't trust that guy.
Oh what's that? You guys are hyped for this new Gears of War? Well guess what, I'm leaking something right now we put a "tranny" character in, as you all like to call them. Enjoy the reveal in a couple months.
>>740738358because it doesn't look like an immediate dumpster fire (nigger dyke is pushing it close thoughmstever)
>>740747286>H1-B horde coming for your jobs
>>740750942It’s not a time skip. They come up with the Lancer Chainsaw as a makeshift weapon in the games version of E-Day. They said in the podcast they did that they slightly retconned the time it was invented. The scene with Tai is straight out of the books with the dialogue but they wanted the chainsaw to be in the game so they put it in. It’s whatever I really don’t give a shit
>>740738358why not?
>>740751636kek
>>740738358Xbox niggers think this is the start of le hecking XBOX comeback (seventh time's the charm!) when their jeeta princess already confirmed they're going back to multiplat when it flops
>>740751958>devs actually said fuck the lore to make something coolerWhat the fuck is actually going on? They usually do the exact opposite nowadays.
>>740751958Actually pretty based the game would feel weird without lancers, rule of cool wins again.
>>740752813yea while were playing this you ponies can enjoy God of War Laufey
Just give me some news about Horde Mode already it sounds kino as fuck
>>74075449312 player horde I’m gonna bust bro
I'm actually surprised by the lack of threads. I thought it was one of the better looking games presented this week You could feel the passion from the white devs.
>>740755086Been a good amount of threads but most of its rage bait about retarded shit no one cares about and a relentless amount of dorks obsessed with the next visual novel
>>740755198>next visual novelwhat
>>740738358Xbox has like 5 games over the next ten years.What else are the marketing drones supposed to boost?
>>740755527I’m saying a lot of the gears threads are being derailed by weebs who don’t even play gears and just play nothing but bullshit
>>740751239Indians didn't have videogames 15 years ago, señor.
>>740738358game honestly sucked without cliffy b
>>740738358Because its not coming to PS5
>>740756116Indians been employed at the microsoft for over 15 years saaar
>>740756116every single shit thing thats coming out right now is the result of hiring pajeets 10 years ago now they are senors. competently deteriorate in all fields.
All I remember from the 5th game was a trailer with the screaming lady and her head shaking all around and idk what was going on with that.Like, your audience is dudebros. Just let them play as lunkheads and if there's gonna be a girl just let her be sex appeal.
>>740738358Because kino is back on the menu. it unironically looks like it has soul again.
>>740749519They nailed the sense of weight and force in the executions
so I only played the first two games, there was a mystery in these series? because I remember this game is a planet (not earth) where humans live and then the locust attacked
>>740738358The original Gears games were like among the top most popular games at the time. Like if you weren't playing Halo or CoD, then you were probably playing Gears
>>740757047Yeah it looks like it was made by the Gears 1 team
>>740756853They had a girl that was pure sex appeal in 5 but they killed her off to honor a joke
>>740738358Gameplay looks like it hasn't evolved at all since the fucking 360
>>740757146>Hot>Actually likable personality>To honor a joke that ended in 3
>>740749519>Putting hand on the top of the rifle for extra leverage to cut through the boomer's neckYeah I'm thinking gears-kino is back.
>>740756731>tech support is videogamesYou stupid beaner
>>740757149This nigga is blind. The new mechanics movement look way better.
>>740754417Back to Twitter, dago.
>>740757149You are gay
>>740738358looks like a return to formgonna have a blast
>every release i want to play is in october or later
>>740738358In terms of movement and cover mechanics, it looks similar to the evolution between The Last of Us 1 and 2, in how it's making you more agile. Nothing super impactful or innovative for gaming in general, but for the Gears series it's a very welcome improvement.
>>740738358Maybe you should go back to the Discord channel where those 'folx' reside.
>>740757135Honestly it does. Gamers who loved the the trilogy are probably working there now considering Gears 1 came out in 2006. The dumbass retards got booted out hopefully or told "shut the fuck up boomer, were making shit edgy and cool".>>740758808>Tech. DirectorWhatever it does, if im getting shit like this >>740749519 again, it's hard to argue with results. I doubt the troon does anything significant anyways and was there for esg points.
>>740757149>Gameplay looks like it hasn't evolved at all since the fucking 360This has to be Barry seething, there can't be other Snoy that stupid and disingenuous.
>>740760660where roadie run?
I was hyped before I saw gameplay footage where there is a woman in squad.She wasn't in earlier promotion materials
>>740755086It looks good so I'm excited to play it, outside the ugly women it looks like a return to form. This will be the first Gears I've played since GOW 3.>>740760660Marcus run looks way better but ngl kinda miss the retarded cannonball crouching run a bit.
>>740757149What could they possibly do to make it look different?
>>740738358The standard for Xbox is just so hilariously low that a new Gears game, even if it does absolutely nothing new, is considered a success. Xbots are beyond buckbroken
Where the faggot tranny 43% fuck are Cole, Baird, and Kim?
>>740758808Kek how do you go from an average dude with long hair to a bogged out, microplastic tranny in such a short time frame? What the fuck in Californias water and food supply that does this to people?
>>740738358I haven't seen anyone give a shit about this at all
>>740758808That's his mom
How are everyone more hyped for Gears than Halo?
>>740761818damn that's a nice catch, makes sense this tranny is somehow technical director
Looks fun, hope we can play as the locust in multiplayer, my favorite was the Locust monks and the elite guards
A gears game without the Roadie Run is gonna feel weird
>>740761301Isn't Gears 1 when Marcus and Dom first meet Baird and Cole? I still bet there will there's a cameo. Surely we can play as them in multi.
>>740761256>even if it does absolutely nothing newNo roadie runSlideNew cover systemJumping PlatformingAre Snoys liars suddenly?
> folks
>>740751958>>740750942>making the game better at the expense of the lore BASED. there should never be a time when adhering lore is more important than the gameplay and fun factor. Xbox is finally starting to make some decent decisions after over a decade of being a complete joke>>740762087Gears of war is trying to recoup their fans by making a back to basics gears of war game and acknowledging they went astray. Halo is still trying to be call of duty instead of a halo game, and the new "remake" is the laziest thing i've ever seen and doesn't even pretend to understand the appeal of the original. Nu-halo is for people who hate halo
>>740762369Bet we'll see Cole as a thrashball athlete in the story in some way since they're focusing on the civilian life before and during E-day
>>740762761Flashbacks or mini DLC campaigns for Baird and Cole's experience would be kino
>>740762394>>740762363>>740760728>no more juking noobs onlineDamn, that was fun as hell. The slide is at least something new.
>>740762853Wall bouncing still look's like it's possible. Can't imagine them doing away with the signature shotgun dances.
>>740762838I'd bet on Cole at least. They let you play as him in 3 for a bit. It'd make sense since those two always seemed popular, especially online.
>Soldiers of the C.O.G., my fellow Gears, go forth, and BRING BACK THE HOPE OF HUMANITY!!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzE4cKps1IE
Can I play it on Steam or is it a Xbox SeX exclusive?
>>740738358it looked funi like the low ground cover and the sliding into cover, the chest high wall meme can finally diethe guns sounded weak as fuck though
>>740746042Nah, it's a lore point before and now a plot point that Lancers in the human war prior had fuckoff bayonets, hence Retro Lancers. Tai saving Marcus with a chainsaw seems to give them inspiration to start sticking chainsaws onto Lancers, and thus the standard was born.
>>740762979it's on steam, you're just not getting it on playstation
>>740763467Fair enough, I have a decent PC so I guess I won't need to buy a new console just to enjoy the new Gears of War.
Can't wait to play this on pc :)
>>740762979MS knows the Xbox PC app sucks and is a long way away from not sucking. So it will be used only for Game Pass, and if they want normal sales of PC games they need to at least be on Steam too
>>740747286I would try to seduce that giant female locust in the background.
>>740763675>decent PCOn a related note, it rustles my jimmies how the minimum spec for Halo Campaign Evolved calls for an i7-10700k. They must be doing something very wrong there, it's also going to be on Series S for fuck's sake
>>740764296>Series SIt's a good option, but the SeX is way better, most newer games are made with the SeX on mind.
>>740743927Gears 5 had a great campaign and the best Horde ever. EVER. The PvP was a massive disappointment made for casuals.
>>740764771Not saying I would play it on there, just pointing out it will have to scale down to and run on it. So for PC why demand such a high-end CPU from the year the current consoles came out
>>740761256Snoys pissed off they are stuck with Goddess Of Feminism: Laundry and a bald headed mixed race mystery meat abomination dike for Intergalactic KEK
>>740765032Don't forget this wacky guy!
We are so fucking back, Xbros.
>>740738358>we've reache the point where people here are hyped for Gears of WarThe perfect example of Zoomer infestation. The series was bassicaly typical example ofbrown and Bloom chest high wall shooter that were everywhere in the 7th genAnd people get nostalgic over that garbage.
It looks amazing and I have a PS5, I’m gonna get a Series X because I absolutely have to play this
>>740764842gears 5 campaign was ass especially the ending which is probably what lead to getting e day instead of 6
>>740738358I like seeing the verticality and wider battle areas. It's what Gears needed. However, it's written by the same people responsible for the last few games so I'm just going to wait and see. By the way, why haven't they ported gears 2 and 3 to PC already?
>said they had to track down the exact chainsaw used back in 2006 for the lancer chainsaw sound effect just to make sure it sounded rightthats pretty cool honestly
A remake of Gears 2 with the graphics and some of the new gameplay elements from E Day would be a dream game
>Gears of War? Sheeeit... more like Tears of War.
>>740738358Its not like Xbox has been winning. The game looks quite good other than the ugly females. But since there is a tranny on the development I'm sure its going to make sure some sort of woke propaganda is in the game.
>>740762838mini campaign that leads up to the shit baird and cole got into during judgement would be neat
I really hope the online is actually good like 3 and 4s. I wish I could prove to you that 5 implemented bullet magnetism in it's online but I Uninstalled it after seeing it happen to me on that locust museum map. If you guys need something to hold you over I implore you to get delta online because the mod puts gears 3 on pc for its multi-player and horde mode mixing maps from all of the games including judgement.
>>740739876I genuinely dont know how the fuck are you suposed to execute a boomer considering they allways die when you take them down with a gun, maybe this game has the finish him mortal kombat thing from doom 2016 but the enemies dont glow or something.
>>740738605OOT Remake
>jumping and slidingthis feels so alien in a series that has literally been mounting cover and entirely grounded besides rolls
I wonder if we are going to get mini boomers to play as in the multiplayer, i allways find the mini scions from gears 5 funny looking, also i wish i could play as a locust in horde mode instead of having to play the wallbounce infested pvp where no gun is going to do damage exept for the goddamn gnasher.
>>740770203It's an american game, woke is their cultural export so it will have it.
>>740738358its a heckin return to form
I am seriously in awe that the general consensus isn’t that this game visually looks like shit. It’s suffering from all the problems that modern gaming suffers from. Ok cool, good gore is back and it’s perpetually night time again, but what the fuck is going on with all the characters? The movement and faces are too far into realism, the women all look like goblins, and the men look like they’ve never stepped foot in a gym. We also don’t know what the quality of the writing will be, but people are already claiming the coalition have retvrned to form. This game is being hard carried by its premise alone. Also no one has mentioned the severe lack of new enemy variety in the gameplay trailers. I saw one new enemy and it looked like a mini boss. The gears formula is old at this point. It needs a tremendous amount of new enemy types to keep it engaging. But we only ever get 1 to 2 new enemies per game. I want at least 10. Also even if this game does well, there’s no future for the series. We’re right back to gears 6 after it and then what? We end the locust war again? Then that’s it? If this game is successful it will be a short lived success for Xbox, and then it’s right back to no games and or garbage for eternity. Also as a side note, forcing you to play as woman in a game about brotherhood is just wrong, even if the woman identifies as a man.
>>740743927gears 5 campaign gameplay was good until it got to the stupid ass open world parts. 4 and 5 suffer from what i call the halo problem, where there are so many elements that are hated, that people started hating every element of the game without taking the time to consider the good. the gameplay in 4 and 5 has never been bad.
>>740749815>people like marcus and domyeah about that...
>>740750686JD's actually pretty great. Chad white guy whose goal in life is to try and live up to his well respected war vet father, but he keeps fucking up in the process. It's kino.
>>740751958>>740752816>>740762496It's not the first time the series has had retcons. Remember Jace from Gears 3? In the comics he meets Michael Barrick for the very first time when Jace is an established Gear, but in the RAAM's shadow DLC they're introduced to each for the first time only this time Jace is a student and not a solider.
In a perfect world, Carlos would have lived past the Pendulum wars so he could feature in e-day, and our squad could have been Marcus, Dom, Carlos, and Tai.
>>740771325from what i've seen of the gameplay, i don't think it's actually a jump mechanic. it's more like a clamber. they only ever jump over gaps in the group and climb high pieces of cover. i think the game is still grounded.
>>740758808Kino is kino. Who cares if a tranny made it
>>740761084>She wasn't in earlier promotion materialsthey knew what they were doing
>>740761256beats whatever the fuck sony is doing
>>740738358I know right? it looks like a HD version of a 20 year old game
>>740773361They really couldnt let it be a dudebro game like the first two? They had to shoehorn a mystery meat she-thing into it?
>>740738358It's the Microjeet shill cycle whenever the company changes leadership. They pretend everything is awesome until the sales numbers come in.
>>740773253Gears of War 3 just simply felt like the proper end to the narrative. I like the gameplay of 4 and 5 but the storyline didn't really feel like it needed a continuation.
>>740766457Watch them use E-Day as a base to remake 1 and 2. Hell just go all the way to 3 and erase 4 and 5
>>740773361In previous games the squad was flexible, especially members 3 and 4.Remember in 1 you start with Marcus Dom Kim CarmineIn 3 it's Marcus Dom Anya Sam for a while before Cole and Baird join in and you even get a mission with just Cole Baird Sam Carmine.Who's to say the new characters will be in the squad for the whole game, especially since they're obviously dying at some point.Unless they're planning more games between E-Day and 1, only then I could see these guys become regulars.
>>740773779I fully expect Pendulum Wars DLC at this point, they did similar stuff in previous games, in 3 you played as Barrick's squad in a flashback (also Kim's before Gears1) and there was also hivebusters in 5
>>740739876Isn't this kind of a retcon or did chainsaw lancers actually exist prior to eday? I thought they were made specifically because it broke through locust skin and did more devastating damage to them easier than the bayonets
>>740751958>>740776690My stupid ass should have read the thread. Damn that's actually based as fuck
Definitely a little more intense for whatever lol you almost shit yourself lol
>>740762920I don't think wall bouncing will be much of a thing anymore since the wall lean mechanic doesn't look as jank snappy as the old ones did where you just slide to a wall from a bizarrely huge distance. There will probably be a lot more sprint sliding and someone will probably figure out how to cancel animations or something.
>>740773253Gears 4 5 and Judgement should have just been prequels like E-Day. They could have made spinoffs that explain things from the perspective of the locusts during the lambent war. The plot absolutely did not need to be pushed forward after 3, they had a fuck ton of stuff to dig through and make games out of by the time the trilogy ended. Halo suffered from the same thing, they wanted to keep pushing the plot forward instead of going back and turning prior events into real games.
>>740765296The juxtaposition of your post with your filename revealing you're a phone poster is comedy gold
Halo’s better without so much war. It’s hard to win. Imagine that? Pushing the plot forward and than what? They don’t even have a plot and want to keep adding unnecessary levels.
What’s bizarre is people watching people that there not supposed to ? How are you controlling yourself when you have someone over your shoulder. You already know but play is cool it’s fine.
>>740738358Because Rod Ferguson (the guy who was calling the shots for 4 and 5) is long gone, and this looks like they’re genuinely trying to return to the tone of 1 and 2. I know that zoomers have been programmed to have a defeatist attitude about everything because they’ve grown into adulthood in a world of shit, but there was a time when things were actually good, and worth looking forward to.
You’re right I feel the same way. Dumb. I know! The continued 4/5 is probably a shame, game works is if Characters and npc’s change, if they get updates. Just waiting on the next crash on the console.
>>740773579I didn’t like 5 being JD’s humiliation ritual, and he only “redeems” himself through subservience to the bitchy girl.
I missed the part where Rod Ferguson? Of the npc’s? In what world.
Haha I adore the input it’s giving
>>740738358Guys&GunsNo meddling wife in my ear while I crack open a beer.Balls: Hanging OutThe Gang: All HereChild Support: Not Paid
Oh the humiliation ritual is getting dangerous. That’s when the final boss comes and they have to commit to that level. Just by pass that, you don’t even have to click that setting! There’s been a few.
>>740776924>>740778041>>740778507>>740778597>>740778667>>740778758Uh oh melty.
There’s quite a few bitchy girls. They need a new character update asap
>>740738358As much as I want to play as Marcus again and seeing their initial shock to the Locust Swarm invasion, I hate prequels because they introduce characters we already know what happens to them, introduce characters we know will die, and introduce weapons and enemies that never existed in the games previously.
I don't have Gamepass but I probably will in October but has Gears 3 made it to PC or gamepass yet? That's the one Gears I haven't played yet (couldn't play it when it came out, too poor then)
>>740738358>sony makes every main character an ugly woman>xbox brings back masculinity
>>740779206I see "Ultimate" and "Reloaded" dunno which numbers those are.Also I forgot they had a gears tactics game lol.
>post show interview Baby Asha is back.https://youtu.be/o0hMSekk4XEhttps://youtu.be/o0hMSekk4XE
>>740779374It's just 1 made remade again and again.We don't really have Gears on PC yet.
>>740738358Gears of War Estrogen Day
>>740779450If there is 1 thing I hope she does different than Phil then it is to not give the press so many interviews.They will just twist words and professionally misunderstand for clickbait headline spam.Nintendo, Sony and Steam don't give them so no reason for Xbox to do it.
>>740748938The stud archetype is an integral pillar of black culture not typically captured by our media landscape and makes this game even more kino. That character alone seems 1000000x better than the youth adventure novel cast from 4 onwards.
>>740738358A return to form
>>740779508Weird that they haven't released the trilogy as a package after all these years
>>740749815Microsoft literally tells their dev teams they aren’t allowed to make curvy or beautiful women anymore.
Judgement as a DLC campaign when?
>>740749373The studio that developed it is going bankrupt.
>>740779935Even Xbox players want updated versions of 2 and 3 already since they are still stuck just playing the backwards compatible 360 games. Giving the first game two separate remasters while ignoring the sequels was a bad move really. Reloaded just feels like something purely meant to sell to Playstation gamers, and they barely ended up buying the thing at all
>>740779872>A return to formJust like they said with Halo Infinite
>>740779935Xbox isn't in the business of making good decisions
>>740738358I liked the gears trilogy and I'm mad 2 and 3 somehow still aren't on PC.
>>740738358Nostalgia. I get it. The Gears trilogy was peak 360 multiplayer but this is just likely going to be a pale imitation especially with the tranny lead dev. There's also zero chance you'll be able to say slurs online without being banned and your private info sent to Palantir.
>>740781485In Ultimate Edition, 4, 5 and Reloaded since release I have spammed racial slurs in chat nearly every match for 10 years and nothing has ever happened
>>740781485>There's also zero chance you'll be able to say slurs onlinejust don't be a sperg lol
>>740779015The trick is to think of each game as a stand alone game.
>>740749815Women only became breeding farms because the Locust were winning and humanity was close to going extinct. They weren't that way on E-Day.
>>740780361It’s possible. I think I saw a Breechshot during the full showcase.
>>740761301There’s a Thrashball poster of Cole in the bar where Dom and Marcus are mourning Carlos.
I used to play gears exclusively with a friend who died awhile back and playing anything gears related feels gross now
>>740781485>>740781690I got muted every second day when I played gears 4 and 5 multiplayer
>>740738358Because console babbies have no standard and CliffyB is a cuckold
My only GOW experience was a single playthrough of the first game's campaign on a friend's 360.The music was fucking groovy yet still appropriately ominous and all that. It has stayed with me all these years.The E-Day Direct was all about respecting their roots while adding a bit of flair on top,so it was disappointing to listen to the audio director/composer/whatever not mention any of this at all.Instead, here we saw yet another composer singularly obsessed with finding wEiRd TiMbReS by rubbing all sorts of shit on cellos.
>>740754493>>740755051I'm so hyped for 12 player horde, BUT I really really fucking hope the enemy variety is as good as Gears 3 and you have similar building stuff like in Gears 5. That would be the best blend for me.I really hope it's not just 12 dudes running around shooting one big boss and that's that.
>>740782390They did say “defend the city” in the trailer so I’m assuming they aren’t going to have it be barebones. They are bringing back classes but will most likely do what 5 did where each class has a sub-class which I am okay with. As long as the cringe fabricator doesn’t return I am fine. I am assuming it will be 3 teams with specifics spots on the map that have to be held. It would be very lame if the new horde was just dropping us into a map and running around.
>>740782390I counted at least 20 different types of enemies during the Gore Editor screen, with most of them being variants of Drones armed with different weapons.
>>740782973The fabricator was a good addition. It’s literally the gears 3 horde but it lets you place fortifications where you want. What’s cringe about it?
>>740784318It’s annoying having to slowly walk that thing around and position and use it to cheese areas. Something about it annoyed me
>>740782289Agree to disagree, I guess, but I dug it. I loved those little hints of stuff like "Hope Runs Deep" but through the filter of as you said "rubbing all sorts of shit on cellos". A little side trivia, but the composer for Gears 2 and 3 also did the music for the Transformers movies.
I'm not falling for it, the Gears trilogy was kino, then they turned their backs on the audience and bent to knee to faggot shit for 2 whole games, they don't get to crawl back to me I'm not impressed by seeing some gore in a series where that was the bare minimum Fuck all Gears after 3. Fuck Cliffy 'Cuck' B(itch) in the ass with a Retro Lancer
>>740779206There are still no official native PC versions of Gears 2 or 3 or Judgment. Your options with them would be to stream the 360 versions with Game Pass Ultimate, or to try emulators or fan-made unofficial ports
>>740785067If I'm honest, I didn't even like Gears 3 all that much. The bullet sponge Lambent just made fights tedious, and reminded me of the transforming bug men from Resident Evil 6, I fucking loathe the Ice-T segment because it feels so shoehorned in, especially considering it immediately follows Dom's death. Marcus would not be in the mood to let himself get pushed around by that nigger like that. Also, "Adam Fenix's Magical Plot Resolution Machine" was just as shitty a plot device as the Crucible from Mass Effect 3. Paint yourself into a narrative corner? Just make a machine that kills all the bad guys with science magic!I like the note that Gears 2 ends on, with the Locust Nexus being flooded and drowned, but at the cost of sinking Jacinto at the same time. A bittersweet pyrrhic (but still plausible within the setting) victory is the perfect Gears note. I didn't need to know anything about the Locust beyond "underground Uruk-hai with guns who need to be destroyed".
My personal problem with 3 was that something felt off with the enemies. Either the enemy AI was worse or they just didn’t use the enemy variety that well, because the whole game felt like a breeze. But then when I play judgement it’s like a whole different game. The game never stops throwing enemies at me and each room felt like it had thought and effort put into it. No two rooms felt the same. I swear if judgement cut its multiplayer component and sold for $20 on release, it would have been highly regarded. It’s honestly the most fun if all the campaigns. Plus having 3 scenarios per room that switch up on death was sick and I wish more games would do it.
My favourite enemies are the ones that run at you. Wretches, tickers, maulers, flame boomers, sires, berserkers, rangers, grenadiers, wardens, infected deebees. I love that shit. I want more.
>>740787064Whoever came up with that Berserker charging sound deserves a medal.
>>740787064>>740787320
>>740738358Series peaked at 2 and went to unplayable dogshit after 3.
>>7407878291 through 3 were all peak in different ways1>best art style>most visceral>best menu and menu music2>best campaign>best MP maps>best visual candy3>best MP (arguable I know but in terms of replay ability it is the best and most polished)>best horde>beast mode>best game for content like RAAMS Shadow, medals, earnable skins through playing etc.All 3 together are an excellent package.
Best place to read the comics?
>>740788363Is it just me or does the boom shoot look like it’s the size of a mulcher now?
The lambent introduced in 3 were so fucking lame. How do you go from badass locust niggas to lame explodey bitches
>>740773361We couldve had the brit not-Carmine and tai as the third and fourth and it wouldve been kino
>>740771052spotted the boylover
>>740789156Who's to say they won't be, and these guys aren't red shirts who get bodied?
>>740788798It's the Gears of War equivalent of the Flood, to be honest I liked them, GoW3 had a lot of enemy variety. Spent weeks playing only Horde 2.0 and beating the lambent-only waves.
>>740768049where is he when we need him most?
>>740739876>looks good and fun>The Coalitionpick one
>>740789368Because the trailer hints at them having arcs they're going to go through, and they wouldn't make the nigger dyke just to kill her off, it would be too based, because that would imply they know and agree that noone wants her, in which case making her at all has caused too much of a rift to begin with. People will avoid the game because of her.
>>740788481according to an interview that boomshot is an earlier version that the Locust used at the beginning of the warhttps://youtu.be/m8kSqrvBKoE&t=2208
>>740789378NTA, but I agree with him. Part of the appeal of Gears is the visceral combat, it's way more fun to blast a Locust into bloody chunks or bisect it with a lancer than just shooting something until it explodes into glowing goo. The story goes back to being about the Locust once you get into the last stretch of the game anyway, so they just felt like filler enemies. It would have been enough to have the ending of 2 forcing all of the Locust to the surface, and it's just all-out war between what's left of the Locust, and what's left of the COG. The twist about imulsion being an actual conscious entity was just lame, and they never really elaborated on the implication of what that even means.
>>740788481because it is
>>740789435They're way better than 343 Industries at any rate. Gears of War hasn't fallen nearly as far as Halo. Compared to Halo 4 and 5 the equivalent games in the GOW series look like masterpieces
>>740789524All I'm saying is that there's precedent for this in other games. For example, you play a pretty good stretch of Gears 1 with Kim and Carmine before you even meet Cole and Baird and form Delta proper. I also remember there being a lot of to do about Tai in the lead up to Gears 2, and he ends up being out of it pretty early.
>>740738358After the humiliation ritual that was 5, I think gearbros need a break
>>740785067>the Gears trilogy was kino>Fuck all Gears after 3. Fuck Cliffy 'Cuck' B(itch) in the assFuck the guy who had nothing to do with the series after 3?What's your logic, here?
>>740790120Bro Kim and Anthony die at the very start
>>740790225a lot of old school gears fans hate cliffy b because he quit, handed over the franchise to rod ferguson and cliffy overall supports modern slop gears regardless of how bad they are
>>740785721>Paint yourself into a narrative corner? Just make a machine that kills all the bad guys with science magic!According to Cliffy the machine would have only killed the Lambent, and the Locust would be right back at it in the next game. So basically the Lambent was always meant to be a gimmick for 3, not for the series long term.
>>740790120The new characters have more lines in what we've been shown so far than Kim and carmine had in their entire existence
>>740787748Gotta love how the animations are canned.>THAT'S JUST GAME DE--They don't even try to hide it with the magic of camera angles.
>>740790293>You meet Private Augustus Cole and Corporal Damon Baird in Act 1, Chapter 8: China Shop of the original Gears of War.8 chapters in is a pretty healthy distance.
>>740788363>All 3 together are an excellent package.>Proceed to never port all three togetherI'll never understand why MicroSlop only ported 1 for a third goddamn time.
>>740738358Looked cool until they showed a bunch of dyked up foods, I won't be touching this one, not even using goypass
>>740790367Alright, I'm done arguing it. I'm just trying to be optimistic.
>>740790578Foids
>>740790479They’re working on individual remasters of the other 2 so they can sell them all separately.
>>740790334If the recent interview is anything to go by, he isn't soft spoken at all regarding the story and enemy design in 4 and 5. He actively shits on it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9IiMEy_lTEHe only praises the technical parts, which if we're being fair isn't wrong. The newer games do run and play pretty well, the issues mostly lie with story direction, characters and bullshit like trying to shoehorn in open world sections.He also shits on streamer culture which makes him based in my book.
>>740790334>he quit, handed over the franchise to rod fergusonWho's to say he left on his own volition though? Especially with how shitty this industry is, I wouldn't be surprised if he was just screwed over by some exec or some jealous nepo asshole. Kinda like what happened to Kaplan at Blizzard.I would also add that Fergusson came off exactly as someone who would have fit that bill. Untalented, pretentious obvious plant who not only damaged the IP but was also the king of bad decisions. IIRC he tried to pull the plug on Fortnite while it was still in development. The game that went on to be a major hit for the company.
>>740790367New characters having more lines means nothing, the game's budget is nothing like it was back then, the production values (yes that includes dialog) are obviously higher nowadays.
>>740738358Will this have split screen co-op?
>>740765296nah the xbox jeet force just got another month of pennies for shilling their brand on all social media including here. None of this "hype" is organic at all.
>>740791110Gears was supposed to be a trilogy and nothing more. Judgement was made with pure hatred and he wanted nothing to do with it. Microsoft wanted to milk the series while Cliff wanted to move on to different things. Cliff, while retarded at many points in his career, does have understanding of good game design and what players do want. I am aware Lawbreakers was a flop but if anyone actually played it you could tell it played well despite other shit.
>>740791276Yes they confirmed it will have split screen co-op in campaign and horde.
>>740791276https://youtu.be/eFrJE2uECDA?t=1405
>>740791321>gears hasn't had an ounce of attention in close to 7 years>5 was hated by most fans>4 was just a luke warm test of being able to make a Gears game>tactics was a niche product with no MP or side modes>with all that into account it has been 16 years since we've had a Gears game that everyone was very excited to see>new game that's coming out is almost exactly what people wanted>"Man this hype is so inorganic"Do you ever get tired of being a faggot?
>>740790697>He actively shits on it.but if you say the story is bad because of wokeness(it is) Cliffy B calls you a heckin chud>The newer games do run and play pretty welli don't know about gears 5 but gears of war 4 was literally unplayable for years and i think the PC version of the game on windows store and the xbox app is still unplayable
>>740791729I wish I was the boomer.
>>740791918It was unplayable due to a bug on NVidia's side. It was a huge issue and I don't remember the technical reason but it genuinely had something to do with NVidia and NVidia alone. Some weird ass driver bug and TC had zero control over it. 4 played on almost all ultra settings for me at a consistent 60fps or more on a 780.
>>740791918>>740792046>be gears of war 4 PC>stuck on UWP formatting>a lot of players can't install the game because Microcock's apps are so badyou're probably better off playing on console, especially on the SeX i'm sure it runs perfectly
I played the games as they came out back in the day, it was actually the first time I ever joined a gaming clan so we could do PVP, our leader was an old counterstrike champ, dude was NASTY with the longshot. I miss those guys. I still see some of them on the SeX, I'll see if I can gather the band back together.
>>740792179That's also true, I forgot about Microsoft's app being so unbelievably shit that a lot of people couldn't play it for that reason alone thank you for reminding me. I remember having issues with the store as well.This one excellent bug would download 4 in full on your drive but be inaccessible and basically a dummy copy so you would have 2 copies of the game installed which was like 250 gigs. I also could not figure out how to get it off my computer because it installs somewhere where windows doesn't let you access it. I'm not tech savvy at all but I can navigate through some obstacles. I could never figure it out and had to format.
it's the closest thing to a gen 7 video game
>>740738358Name ten campaign shooters, like actual campaigns not afterthoughts so BF6 is already out, released in last year
>>740792657True, I think Microsoft at least has learned it's lesson and is trying to make normal games now. It remains to be see how Fable turns out but I can already tell they've backpeddled hard after the disastrous reveal of that game. Many people are unhappy with Sony right now and they stand a very good chance of regaining a lot of market share if they just focus on delivering decent quality games
I always liked the locust because they felt like an actual threat, you can shoot one of these things like 20 times
>>740794513Adding to that I love the idea of playing as Marcus and Dom when this is all new and they are genuinely in full blown holy shit mode.Like in this part of the trailer I love the facial expressions of Marcus when he uses the bayonet only for it to not do any damage to the drone which is the literal basic Locust soldier. His face is genuinely "oh shit what do I do" and you get a sense of abject panic.
It looks fun and I like GoW so I'll probably play it. What irks me is the active reload huge bar and THAT GOW 2 AND 3 ARE STILL NOT ON PC
>>740792179>a lot of players can't install the gameThis only happens to turd worldies who used russian keylogegrs and chinese botnets to "debloat" their windows aka remove essential features.
Retconning locusts to just be mutated humans killed this IP.
>>740796420This wasn't retconned. It has been a thing since Gears of War 2 and was hinted at the end of 1 retard
>>740796484>It has been a thing since Gears of War 2Yes, this is the retcon you dumbfuck.>Was hinted at the end of 1 retardIt wasn't.
>>740796591>It wasn't."They do not understand. They do not know why we wage this war. Why we cannot stop. Will not stop. Why we will fight, and fight, and fight, until we win, or we die. And we are not dead yet."
>>740795410I like the idea of being in the middle of it when shit is hitting the fan. I guess kind of like some parts of Halo Reach or even Resident Evil 3. I know that RE3 gets a lot of shit, but I think it did pretty good with the early mass hysteria part.
>game in the "past" of the franchise>you can do things you couldn't do in the "present" in the franchisealways the same shit with those retarded games
>>740797379This is foreshadowing the locusts dying to imulsion mutants and being forced to come to the surface, not being humans.
>>740797752Such as...?
>>740798362JumpingSlidingTaking cover behind low debris

>>740797860>The human who says this was talking about the lambent war, not the fact that humans are somehow responsible for locustsnta but you sound retarded
>>740738358They aren't, it's just marketing spam.
>they removed wallboucinggiga cringe
>>740738358you know why
>>740799481>dudebro franchise>remove an emergent feature of the way the game was built to satisfy "realism">nothing more iconic in gears multiplayer than wallbouncing>like DBZ teleports without the "CHEOW" sound effectif true that is so fucking lame
This is the best news I’ve heard about Gears so far. Fuck all Mexicans
>>740790697E-Day is going to be a bit more open ended too.
Not sure why Gears 1 needed 2 remakes, the original still looks and feels good to play.
>>740802175Oh thank god. It was a bad idea to put it in the middle of the screen to begin with, but at least there’s an option to change that.
>>740802175Why was this series so popular with Mexicans? Dominic was cool I guess but was there another reason Gears of War appealed so much to them?
>>740802545Gears 2006 had/has one of the best Spanish dubs in video game history
>>740802254A bit more open ended is quite different than 5's forced open world sections that literally insisted upon themselves and made up half of the later part of the game.
>>740802545Mexican love anything machismo and Gears is peak 2000s macho
>>740738358E-day sounds like something menstruation-related
I'm genuinely curious as to how the COG before GoW 3 when they became extinct was able to keep their soldiers in such a good shape that they're extremely muscular when they've been having a chronic shortage of food and water that they're letting civilians starve to death.
>>740802410Gears1 was always quite janky, even back then going from 1 to 2 you could feel it. Character movement, weapon handling, everything felt better in 2 to the point 1 came across as a prototype.A very nice prototype, but you could see the series actually getting its footing around the time 2 came out. Hell, 2 is even when they finally came up with an actual main theme leitmotif which went on for all the following games.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-HtgYRYdx4... which they are dropping in E-Day for some reason.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVBRx-WcAnQThis sounds... very forgettable.

What were the UIR doing during the locust war?
>>740803567But then how are they gonna replenish the COG army numbers?>inb4 breeding farmsConsidering there's little to no industry left, those women would just be birthing out babies that have to fend dor themselves. Or do the desperate join the COG army because they might know they'll die but they'll have a warm meal?

What's the chances RAAM appears in this game, even if it's a cameo? IIRC he was the mastermind behind E-Day
>>740805380RAAM, Skorge and Jermad were part of E-Days initial invasion but they were in Jannermont not Kalona.
>>740802175Wall bouncing was largely shit in 4 and 5 anyways. It was only so OP in 1/2/3 because everyone was using controller and because of console netcode/wifi.Aim and strafing or bot walking already beat out people who tried to exclusively wall bounce in 5.That being said, if the new Multiplayer is just all Lancering instead of gnasher battles, then that will just be disappointing for everyone. Nobody plays gears for Rifle gameplay.,Ultimately, the beta is in 2 months and we'll see then.
>>740805882The scene with Tai also didn't happen in Kalona yet here it is.They've shown they're willing to do retcons for the sake of fan service. You can bet your ass RAAM, Skorge and the others will show up somehow. I even expect hints at GIANT WORM even though it only becomes a thing later in 2.They have lost so much good will with the fanbase because of 4 and 5 they're probably going to do pull all kinds of stops to win it back. And fan service always gets the job done.
>>740802175me la pelas pinchi puto
>>740806206They also retconned the Chainsaw Lancers so they would exist sooner than before, because they’re too iconic to not include.
>>740806105>Nobody plays gears for Rifle gameplay.Incorrect.The people who played for rifle gameplay progressively left, because the exploits people found early that became meta (mostly wall bouncing) actively prevented that kind of play.This is like saying Fortnite is only about build and nobody would play the game without the build meta. And yet... pic related.
>>740806547This also happened to Halo when Halo Reach made a bunch of retcons that contradicted the novels.Bottom line is, the developer gets the final word on what's canon or not, and if they want to include whatever in the games, they will do so.
I can't remember shit about the story of these stupid games, weren't the "locusts" mutated humans or some shit?
>>740806206this is also why a pendulum war game can't happen unfortunatelyif it isn't a short chapter like the intro for 4 they'd probably introduce a different type of chainsaw gun just to say "ohhh the UIR made them and they ran out when the war ended" or some dumb shit lmaome i wouldn't mind playing a whole game with retro lancer as primary
>>740790478it's like an hour of gameplay, two if you're bad/new
>>740806874There's people still asshurt to this day about Reach's retcons because they have such an attachment to the books. Difference here I guess is that it was 2010 and the books were still fresh in fan's minds, meanwhile with Gears novels would've been, what, between 15-20 years ago?
>>740745732>pvpveProvide evidence
>>740806994>weren't the "locusts" mutated humans or some shit?Hinted at in 2, but was still up to debate as the devs kept it vague. Kinda like Forerunners being probably humans in Halo.Then confirmed and canonized in 5 by the new devs, leaving no room for interpretation anymore, fucking over the part of the fanbase that didn't adhere to the theory. Kinda like the Forerunners not being humans in 343 Halo.
What do we think of the new weapons?
>What do we think
>>740808852The Acid Shotgun looks pretty cool.
>>740745619Wanna play bro's what?
>>740808852Absolutely based
>The Locust somehow built this in 19 years
>>740810124I think 2 implied there were multiple races that predated them in the Hollow, and they're the ones who built the ancient structures. IIRC the Kantus are a different, much more ancient race. Which is why they can talk to giant worms and shit.
>>740738358>folks
>>740738358because it's interesting see what society was like before the apocalypse.I mean look at all those post-apocalyptic videogames, don't you wonder what it'd be like to play or see what it was like pre-apocalypse and especially DURING the apocalypse?

>>740811806Will Hoffman return?
>>740813664Expect any character that's not introduced later in the timeline (unlike Baird and Cole) to make an appearance. It's a fucking given, seeing as they're pushing as much fan service as possible in this one.

>insta kills you

>>740815185Buuuullshit. It's just the wind.
>>740749456>that visible ribcageWere there bones in the old games' gore? Looks sweet anyway. Major improvement from 5.
>>740790346If this is true they should have had a post credit scene hinting that the machine didn’t work entirely, so the locust coming back in 4 wouldn’t feel so disappointing. In fact I feel like most games should end in ambiguity just in case. We’re making entertainment products to be enjoyed as long as people find them enjoyable after all.
>>740802175They might actually be retarded if they removed wall bouncing entirely. It’s half the appeal for some people.
>>740802545I remember playing gears 4 and seeing a bunch of customisation flags that resembled world flags. Every nation had one flag that looked identical to their real world counterpart, but Mexico got 3 and they were redesigned to have cool skulls on them. I thought it was funny, but then I learnt it was just because it’s against the law to show the Mexican flag in fictional media.
You can change the active reload position after all.
I hope they go full horror movie with the first encounters with corpsers and berserkers
>>740738358Shot hide shot hide repeatFun game
>>740810124My schizophrenic theory was always that:>in ancient times humans and kantus lived on the surface together>humans drove the kantus underground where they built nexus>exposure to the early imulsion made the kantus start resembling the beasts that dwelled beneath the surface, like corpsers and brumaks and wretches, which they tamed over time>fast forward to the pendulum wars and the humans are looking for a cure for rustlung since mining imulsion makes it deadly>at some point they come across the kantus and locust beasts and see that they’re sort of immune to the imulsion>they start mixing their DNA with human DNA to make a workforce that can mine the stuff without getting sick>they make the sires>then one day a pregnant lady with rustling gives birth to a girl immune to rustlung and has slow aging>that girl is myrah, the locust queen>they mix her DNA with sire DNA to make drones, boomers, berserkers>she and the drones are abused by the COG scientists so they break free at some point and decide to head underground to live with the kantus>at first there’s a war between the kantus because they don’t accept outsiders, but the drones win and take control of nexus with myrah as the new queen>then the imulsion starts evolving underground and we get the lambent and lead up to e dayBut that didn’t turn out to be true
>>740815345Fucking retard read the thread and you'll realize you're on the wrong side of /v/istory

Is Gears Tactics worth a playthrough?
>>740818316Yes tactics is excellent actually
I just wish the trilogy was on steam.
>>740818316It filtered me and I refused to drop the difficulty so I just dropped the game

>>740738358>Gears game without sequel baggage Seems neat enough to me
>>740779816honestly I have 0 problem with a butch lesbo type being part of the squad. That is actually pretty believable and not immersion breaking like fucking marcus wife being in the squad for no reason in 3Ideally it's all men but I can accept a lesbo also because it makes sense logically
>>740739876i don't like gore when the graphics are too realistic
>>740820571>for no reasonThe human race had like less than a million accounted for. They were giving children weapons at that point
>>740820765still retarded that she's suddenly an amazing soldier capable of fighting with an elite squad
>>740820571You’re not subtle tranny
>>740821073being a tranny would be wanting to play as the main characters wife in fucking gears lol. I'm just saying some butch lesbo in the team actually makes sense because irl that's basically the only type of woman that would be fighting frontline in that scenario (maybe it would be like a couple in 100 would be this type)
>>740820962She comes from a military background you stupid fucking retard. She’s been in the army longer than Marcus and Dom. She also had 15 years to learn how to fight + 2 years in the apocalyptic wasteland fighting alongside them + she only joined because Dom was going to die and narratively it makes sense for the second closest person to Marcus to fight alongside him in place of Dom during the final battle + its never implied she’s at Marcus and Dom’s level, only that she’s higher ranked + did you have a cry when B Carmine fought alongside you in 2? + it’s a fucking game + everyone in gears is able to flip around and use a gun and curb stomp people + you’re a faggot tranny
>>740821417>dude it’s le realistic dudeShut the fuck up
>>740749519I dont want to be excited for this but god damn this looks like a proper gow game
>>740749519Me when boomers tell me to stop buying avo toast if I want to buy a house
>>740738358girl boss slop
>>740821420nah it was just retarded gay and immersion breaking, I don't want the main characters fucking wife there because it's immersion breaking. Some rando soldier who's related to a nigga who got his head blown off in the first game is believable so I have no problem with itanyway the squad should be all men or maybe 1 lesbo type character is fine in addition because that actually makes sense
>>740820571>honestly I have 0 problem with a butch lesbo type being part of the squad.Neither do I, Sam and Bernie were cool, but my issue is that she's never going to open her fucking mouth and not grate my ears or not have every word be pure, concentrated millennial writing since she's probably the outlet they dumped it all in
>>740821783You’re such a tranny it’s unbelievable
>>740820571>not immersion breaking like fucking marcus wife being in the squad for no reason in 3such a blatant fucking lie i stg these touristslook, valeria, sophia, alex brand, berni, sam, anya, helena, gears women of old were DIVERSE and actually had charactersdiverse women>>>>>mystery meat sloppa with only one gimmick "im safe and ugly"nuff said
>>740821505it's straighter to play a game as a butch lesbian than a bimbo, that's literally gay as fuck to want to play as a girl in a game
>>740822083nobody bought lawbreakers because it was gay as fuck cliffyget over it
>>740738605GW3
>>740821993yeah this is the only possible issue that they will go full faggot with the writing instead of making her act like a manhopefully they use the lesbo character from aliens as inspiration cos that's an actual likeable character instead of millenialslop
>>740822065nah it's retarded to have a bunch of bimbos in an elite squad fighting giant alien freaks, should just be all men or at a push a butch lesbo or tomboy character
>>740773035As is known, normgroids eat the slop out of the trough no matter what. To engage in trough slop is a time honored tradition of their culture, especially if they can make sure other normies see them doing it. It is simply what they most enjoy doing. This, like Halo Infinite, is just a thin veneer of le old based style to cover a fundamentally rotten interior. You can *see* how obvious the shilling is, they can't even hide it. The rapejeets they hired for 5¢ per post simply cannot hide their copy+pasted language well enough. That shows how confident they are, that they need to psyop people into wanting to buy it.I was just a fucking kid when GoW3 came out and I felt it was the perfect end to the series, maybe 1-3 prequel spin-offs set in different times of the Locust War or the end of the Pendulum Wars (and even that wasn't necessary). I remember seeing the first reveal for GoW4 and saying out loud "But why, it was perfect?" 4 was a joke, and 5 was a bad joke. You know what I noticed from the change in artstyle for the gameplay reveal for E-Day besides the characters? The environment isnt stylized anymore. Go watch the intro for 1 and 2 and see how pre E-Day looked, like a chunky retrofuturist version of the late 2000s. E-Day now just looks like 90s New York. It's fucking grim. Everything you said is justified and it wont matter because normalfags LOVE the parasocial rush of bandwagoning.
>>740810124You do realize they are a literal hivemind right? They have no free will, have you seen how bulky and resilient they are? Have you seen the creatures they tamed, they probably put those to work too.
>>740823094>it's retarded to have a bunch of bimbos in an elite squadliterally two at most in 3nobody cares or will care about fake Vasquez
>>740778248Yeah and the future is now, old man. It's over. We've got a middle aged girlboss black woman with a dyke cut in the squad and she's the first person to close an E-hole with a frag grenade. Not Marcus, not Dom, not Tai, or anyone else. Sheniqua Brown does it. Oh, the commanding officer is a middle aged girlboss Middle Eastern woman with facial scars and look at that, her backup is a middle aged girlboss black woman with weaves. The Roadie Run is gone, we Uncharted now! They somehow couldn't get Tai's original VA. Retcons for the Mk2 Lancer when it would have actually been kind of cool to NOT have it for awhile so you could SEE why the COG adopted a totally new standard rifle for a new war. The active reload is now in the center of the screen, removing the entire gambit of forcing yourself to lose that moment of awareness to ensure a damage boost vs try to pull off a muscle memory speed reload while maintaining vigilance. Dude, it's fucking over.
Gears of war in the big old 2026. LOL.Jesus christ they really don't make new IPs do they? Just make the same game forever bro!
>>740823818Poo poo pee pee piss piss
>>740823818Tai’s original VA is the same guy who voices Baird. Kinda insulting not to being him back for a game that’s supposed to resemble the original trilogy.
>>740763467why did they lie in the trailergod damn I was upset
>>740787748>>740790425Not only have they completely given up on hiding pre-rendered stuff, does this even make sense? Locust Dones are big guys (4u), and have been shown to be far stronger than humans. Grenadiers, or just their shock troops in general, are described as being bigger, stronger, and more fierce than even standard Drones. Regular Locust are strong enough to tear a man's limb off with ease, how is this Locust equivalent of a super soldier not bashing Marcus's brains in with 3 hits instead of limply thwacking away playing forearm patty-cake? It's stupid. It looks bad.
Are people only mad about the chick character because it's not anya i massively prefer anya btw especially because she was already dating marcus during that time
>>740738358>folksstopped reading there.
>>740824060They're technically not lying console wise it is an Xbox exclusive. However you can also get it on a non console gaming system.
>>740787748>>740790425>>740824280I have a feeling that specific locust was probably invincible and that was more like an intended cutscene, and I really hope they don't do that more than once in the game, I don't want to see that at all.
>>740824404I meansure that's not wrong I guess
>>740803380>>740804062In the books I remember they had figured out mycoprotein grow farms. Also it is hinted they dose their soldier's food with growth stimulants and steroids. They also aren't replenishing their numbers, every day they have less trained men than they had the day before. I remember in one of the books Dom mentions that out of a whole company (on paper) they had less than half a dozen 4-man squads to field. They never replace ruined vehicles, it's a matter of doing whatever you can to keep what you have running as those spare parts are getting harder and harder to find, requisition, or barter for. Things were that bad for humanity.
>>740824280>>740824280Man I can’t believe in Gears of War 1 when the game opens up and Marcus and Dom meet the first two locusts I can’t believe it didn’t just insta end the game because they are superior in size and strength. What kind of retarded criticism is this? All the playable characters can tank multiple .50 caliber bullets and don’t even die from it instead drop down and get picked up from a shoulder touch. Kill yourself my man.
>>740738358>why are folks so hyped about this?Doesn't feel like they are Looks nothing like the first game's style and feel they claim to be going for.
>>740825775They never said it was going to be exactly like Gears 1 in the presentation.
>>740787829only real ones know this>>7407883633 tried to do Halo flood+Dead Space necomorphs and it was gay
>>740824430Anon locust are tanky as hell, their insane diff hp is the canon one.
>>740825894Devs said they saw the scene from the OG madworld trailer and they went from there. I believe they failed whatever they were going for from what ive seen.
>>740747286The look like BLM
>>740802175NICE no spastic nigger thinking he is the big shit for using a mousewheel.
>>740826083>>740825775Dude, we haven't even seen any of the game outside of some snippets that were picked to showcase the world physics, lighting and gore. How about we wait and see what the game is like on launch.
>>740826083They said that’s the vibe they wanted to capture, not that the game was going to be copy of Gears 1.
>>740825997What I'm saying is that in that specific instance it was probably an intended canned cutscene and that specific locust was most likely actually unkillable just so that cutscene could play out and have the other teammate save you. Could be wrong though, I'm just guessing and trying not to have bad faith. I really doubt that animations plays out every single time that locust variant charges you unless they're really legit just going to have it so that one of your AI teammates stabs them from behind every single time. I'm hoping the devs aren't actually retarded enough to do that.
>>740823996I accept your concession.>>740824030I know. It's gay. They also just gave him a generic New Zealand Maori voice, lame. I know his culture is based on Pacific Islanders but come on bro, he used to sound so unique.
>>740805380Raam is the guy that raped the cog and the guy from judgement destroyed the uir i think, raam is 100% appearing in this game, also funy fact about raam his first kill was a carmine.
>>740826551The devs said in an interview that those enemies will fly at you from every direction and basically instakill you if you don't watch your ass.
>>740825391Nigger you probably clapped at Palpatine returning. What you said as a retort doesn't even make sense because it's an apples to bowling balls comparison. Throughout the entire series we are shown that Locust are big bad motherfuckers, so bad in fact that the COG have to put a CHAINSAW BAYONET on their rifles to stand a chance in hand-to-hand combat. They could have animated that so Marcus gets out in any thousand different ways that dont make the Locust look like a jabroni. So for that Locust to just straddle Marcus in the cowgirl position and molest his forearms while being like 6'8 and 350lbs is RETARDED! You are RETARDED! The devs are RETARDED!
>>740826727Lol
>>740807218It'd make more sense if the chainsaw lancers were power weapons; stronger prototypes that you won't always have available in the campaign and may have to actively search for in some parts.
>>740826771>palpatineStopped reading there. No intentions of discussing something with a fat millennial.
>>740821783Can you stop baiting cliffy b.
>>740826468>How about we wait and see what the game is like on launchNext your going to tell me I have to buy it and play it to the end to have accurate thoughts on it.>>740826482>we want the game to FEEL like the first game and have the VIBES of the first game Not LOOK like or COPY the first gameLOL nigger what? Hair splitting
I have a hard time believing retrolancers were still in service during the first 3 days of eday and that someone engineered a version of it with a chainsaw within that time when a quarter of the population had been wiped out in just the first day. Having the game take place in only the first 3 days of eday but with iconic gears weapons right at the start outside of maybe a snub pistol just seems weird. Did Tyran police really use huge as fuck retrolancers with massive bayonets kek
>>740826551Anon that animation is a basic takedown animation, it happens every single time a player is down and a enemy npc gets too close to you, its the way gears had to get rid of instakills therons fatigue from gears 1 so the player had a second chance before restarting, also as i said locust are bullet sponges, a basic drone has a gargantuan amount of hp in every single game in high diff and they also do a shitton of damage, in gears 5 a normal gnasher drone can instakill you from 20 meters away, in this case it looks like this specific type of locust works kind of like a left 4 dead charger and instantly takes you into a takedown whenever he gets too close kind of like the fucked up monsters from 3 and 5 horde mode.
>>740827284>Next your going to tell me I have to buy it and play it to the end to have accurate thoughts on it.Holy shit dude watch it on youtube or something I didn't say go buy it. You can get a gauge for anything nowadays by simply going to youtube what do you want me to say?
>>740827564>That animation is a basic takedown animationIt's a mini-cutscene, the UI doesn't disappear during basic takedown animations like in >>740739876
>>740827529In the direct they said the chainsaw lancer is kit bashed and it's like literally the only one for the time being. If you look at the saw it's from the actual department store chainsaw that Tai used to save Marcus.You can even see it has retro lancer parts still on it.
>>740827573>You can get a gauge for anything nowadays by simply going to youtubeYes thats what I already did. I already gauged it and you said I couldn't
>>740827834Meant that >>740739876 was supposed to be an example of an actual takedown.
>>740827880I see, so local Tyran police forces did indeed have stockpiles of retrolancers, and then someone put a chainsaw on a bunch of them in the same day.
>>740738358Dom and Tai being alive is nice considering what happens to the two absolute madlads. The later having a more maori cadence over his islander accent will take some adjusting to get used to.
>>740827880>show the exact reason why the bayonets were outmoded >proto chainsaw variant going through the testing phase that will eventually become the replacementI still reckon didn't fully anticipate just how popular the Retro was going to be seeing how generally inferior the design was. So much that the original introduction in 2 had that dogshit locust pigsticker. Because most of them would be sporting nubs due to snapping off mid combat.
>>740827902Holy fuck you are the worst kind of person. I explained to you that you only saw a very smaller portion of a 15+ hour campaign and you said "yep that's it." I'm saying wait to watch more dipshit.
>>740820571nah, im tired of female combatants, it's fucking dumb.
Name a PS5 exclusive that’s better
>>740826551They do it in gears 4 and 5. Sires, drones, and deebees grab you and try to strangle you drag you away. Pounces will jump on you. It’s pretty cool in coop actually. Makes it so your team mate has to rescue you.
>>740828025I said that it's the ONLY one more than likely. The characters from that scene all looked slightly puzzled/surprised when Marcus activated it.
I haven't played a Gears game since Gears of War 3 on the 360 and I thought it looks great. Shame about it being Xbox exclusive as I really only play on PS5. I have a Series S as well but it will probably run like complete aids 480p 20fps on the Series S.
>>740828413Are you retarded?Ive already seen enough and GAUGED it. Its slopDo you have a chink or indian brain?
>>740820571>most of the foid combatants are effectively barren so they become last ditch cannon fodder like the rest>the vast majority are going through Kriegsman levels of turkey basting because the COG are desperate to push their demographic collapse away at all costsMakes you wonder what methods their former contemporaries in the UIR are employing at sea. Maybe something in the line of sea steading battery farms and archologies. We already know that Locust are made by tying down berserkers and raping them Bone Tomahawk style. Nobody is safe in this fucked universe.
>>740828648Kill yourself immediately.
>>740828025Retro lancers without bayonets exist you know…
>>740828532Just get soipass for $10 and play through the campaign once. That’s my plan. I follow expect the multiplayer to fall of quickly as all gears games inevitably do.
>>740828723Lets go over this again.I watched it on YouTube and GAUED it and got a bad impression from it You said I couldn't and had to wait and see.Then I said I couldThen you said I could literally gauge it by watching some gameplay on YouTube.I literally already did and got a bad impression from itThen your she/him hormones flared up and you crashed out.Is this right so far?
>>740829070you are a faggot
>>740817749>Sera has a period of history spanning across tens of thousands of years that imply the surface was covered in forever wars between roving bands of Yamnaya inspired chariot tribes and more sedentary based farming cultures>Locusts were originally speculated to have been an alien lifeform that came from the moon>vast portions of the underground are unmapped with walls covered in hieroglyphics and structures that predate the native Serans and proto Locusts>there is another schizo headcanon that the implied the planet itself is a backwater colony which lost contact with the original human empire that spanned across the galaxy Still mad that there will never be a game set during the 80 years of the Pendulum Wars
>>740829206lol you're not gonna make it broPlease jesus save this anon. Let him see the light Guide him to grace
>>740828747In game?
>>740751958THE RETCON WE NEED IS AN EVEN BIGGER CARMINE NEEDS TO MAKE AN APPEARANCEClayton is cool, but I want another. The GEARs look really good from what we've seen. I think it's fun and ironic
I am glad Rod Fergusson fucked off after 5 came out, because I know for a fact his ego was shitting up the entire existence of 4 and 5. If he was still in the position he's in. We would've easily gotten more garbage post sequels to push even more female leads and poor Gen X writing.>lock characters to classes in horde mode>refuse to revert>leave company>immediately revert afterwardsfuck him
>>740757146All the Carmines are likeable, it's what makes their deaths actually sad. Not just like a chuckle of, "Oh no, haha he died!!" but their deaths are genuine vehicles to help the player understand the real stakes. It's also why Dom's death hit so hard in 3, not JUST because he was a main character but the driver behind his reasoning to do it felt meaningful. Watching a couple noobie Carmines eat it sucks and makes you wanna fuck the Locust up.
>>740830448I still liked Anthony's design the best even if he bites a bullet in the opening cinematic. Considering this is pre E-Day maybe the other Carmine brother will show up that isn't Clayton. The only other surviving member of the family who isn't wheelchair bound by the end.
>>740830091My money's on It'll be their mother who canonically lives at least until gears 2, a berserker in human form who generally keeps silent except for the occasional funny line a la Clayton and their father, a scrawny nervous wreck who really wants to be a hero (and impress his wife) who will bite the dust heroically saving the squad and his wife.
>>740830091They should have great uncle Carmine make an appearance sporting an outdated version of the COG set from the earliest years of the Pendulum Wars. Similar to the old boomer from that XCOM ripoff.

>>740757115did you miss the part in 2 where they reveal the locusts are man made?
>>740773035what the fuck do you want me to do nigger? Just wait and see if its good. Maybe hope we can get a pendulum wars game. Then nothing it just dies again. Videogames, they are temporary.
>>740754493I never played the story or the first/third game But i rented GoW2 from blackbuster a ton of times and played the fuck ton of horde mode. Out of curiosity is anyone still playing GoW2 horde mode?
