the first gears of war beta is out in a hour, need boughted fags to see if its going to be shit or not
>>744821060It'll probably be like every other gears game. They all look and feel the same
I had fun with the short test they did earlierYou can fall into the E-Holes now!
It seems they continue to make it more casual less weighty
>>744821060It’s shit
>>744822530There is nuance when you really get into versus. Maps and weapons being the most notable variables. Last good Gears was 3, although I had fun with 4. I did not have fun with 5.>>744822585That's an interesting mechanic. Is it easy to do or hard to do? Is it easier to fall in while rolling and a little harder while sprinting or walking?
it looks like shit desu same old shit as the first games nothing new maybe more pozzed only
I am seething that they cut the boltok
Had my first game but i dunno how to use my equipment shit like the injector. Playing on controller.
>>744822585Yeah i jumped my stupid ass into it with a lance charge like a retard
I need the chainsaw animation
Gearsbros we're back!
>>744828338I look like that
>domed a boomer with a toque bowWe are so fucking back
Just booted the game. I have high hopes.
>>744821060>buy on Steam>play closed beta>refund later>win
>>744828338It is good to be a gamer
It feels pretty good. It has og feels. Even the boot camp is an improvement over the marvel quippy shit from 4 and 5. Did they replace the devs?
>Guys our new gam- I mean the gears of war beta is out! we need custome- I mean boughted fags to see if it's good or not!
saaaaaars do the sneedful and redeem the goys of slop saaaaars
>>744830368Are you having a blast? Is it a return to form?
>>744831203Yes and gamers don't need to be your audience anymore. Gamers are dead.
Report in you fuckers. How well does it run? Any foids ruining shit? Gore, blood, hit detection, weapon balance?
>>744830368The gameplay was good on 5 but the open world was pointless and it felt like some of the maps where better then others.
>>744831441Runs alright desu but I'm playing on high. Game has no frame gen.Plays really fucking fun though. Spent like 5 minutes with other dudes trying to fighure out how to kill a corpser
>>744831529Huh, so this might be a good game after all. Probably the saving grace of MS.
>>744831441Very demanding on the CPU
>>744831868that is too good to be true dont be naive here they have only been fucking up every single month since xbox one released
>>744827824N I C E>>744828338>BUUURP AYY MARCUS MY VATO WE GOTTA FIND MY WIFE MARI*BBBBBBBBBBRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPPFFFFFFFFTTTTTTTT ACK!!!!
>>744831868I am having fun. I am actually having fun. Even if the story mode is shite, this new horde mode is really cool. Also the new movement stuff is cool. Jumping on shit and sliding and getting in low cover does not feel intrusive.
>>744831868I can already tell it’s going to shit all over Halo.
I like the 70s aesthetic even though I don't quite remember Seran cities looking like that
BLAAAASSSSTTTT
>>744821060The game is fast yet floaty, doesnt feel right for pvp. Hopefully just a server issue :/
>>744821060How the fuck did TC managed to redeem themselves while Halo Studios completely fumble everything resulting lay-offs after Campaign Devolved flopped? What changed?
>>744834192I kind of feel that the game was made targeting PVE they put in PVP to make the people that have been playing pvp for years happy.
>>744834426Yeah Horde siege is definitely the game's main focus and attraction. Hopefully it is worth it. Gonna wait for my buddies before I check it out myself
>>744834426I really hope that’s not true because I’m jonesing for a TPS with fun versus. Space Marine 2 did not scratch that itch.
Since this thread will likely be browsed by Mexicans I need to ask, what places in California sell a good burrito or tacos? I’m going to be over there in a week
I pre-ordered physical so I dont have beta key so whatever but I cant wait to play.
>>744834753You can barely drive a block without passing a mexican food joint in any city and they’re usually all consistent in quality.Unironically just check yelp for whatever area you’re in and you’ll be hit with a laundry list of them. Find a place that serves california burritos.
>>744834315Director did. comepletely different person than the one from 4 and 5
>>744831441Really good and it even has future proof preset that looks insane. Its also first UE5 game thats using my CPU(9800X3D) properly on all threads and cores nicely.
>>744834829Think the beta enters public here in like 4 days anyways
Anyone else here played the PvP mode?
>>744834753If it’s staffed by whites it’ll be shit.If it’s staffed by illegals that barely speak english it’ll be good.
How bad is it on series s?
>You can make the Gnasher full auto>you can give it bayonet charge>you can increase the mag size holy shit
The concept that “weighty and cover based isn’t fun” really contributed to every game feeling the same
>>744829729and?
>get paired with 3 bots because of connection issues>literally unable to complete wave based objectivesyeah this is a gears game
>>744831441Just finished playing for like 3 hours. Horde is REALLY fun though I've noticed some hits on big dudes take a little to register. Also if your squad fucking sucks dick you REALLY feel it.
What class will be the metapick?
>>744821060I was very surprised to see how differently it played
>>744836156Probably medic, you take some fucking hits in this. They'll flank you constantly on hold objectives so a medic green farting can really win rounds
>>744836067I hate every video game that pairs you with bots when you did not select a bot match
>>744836086Pretty much same exact experience. Haven't touched a multiplayer focused game in a while and this one in particular makes me wish I had friends to play with.
Played 1 round of versus and 1 round of horde followed by an uninstall
>>744836412main gripe?
>bored of helldivas 2 and other games >try this beta>fun as fuck going to be my first gears game
Just played. Horde is a lot of fun, and is even a challenge on Normal difficulty.Versus is still sweaty gnasher wallbouncing autism though, so if you like that then you'll feel at home.Runs well enough for an UE5 game
>>744836156They brought back classes? Surely it's not like it was in 5 where you are forced to play certain characters because they are a certain class.
>>744836675feels outdated and clunky. it’s just gears I guess. also the engine sucks ass
>>744837748>muh outdated and clunky
>>744837717Wasn't that only Jack because the Jack class was just him as a support bot?And no you can play whoever for whatever class
>>744837748>outdated and clunkypicked the fuck up
>>744837787In campaign sure but in horde certain characters were certain classes forcing you to play as someone you don't want. Though they did rework that once Rod FAGurson was gone.
>you can make the gnasher fully auto
>generic gear grunt with the helmet on>locust with no shirt onmy mains in every game
>12 player hordeonly took them only 16 years to understand pvp mp doesn't work lmao
Have not played a single Gears game but I got to admit it looks insane.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjyMs-EYD6MI would imagine that early next-gen titles might look like Gears on Ludacris settings.The fact that the devs managed to make the game look incredibly good while running smooth on UE5 no less is magic.Wouldn't surprise me if Gears overtakes Halo as MS main IP title moving forward.
How does it run?
>>744837993The infantry gear's voice lines are so good, that's really all I wanted. I played the fuck outta a.carmine in gears 1 and 2 and this feels like a good substitute.
>>744838261Is my nigga Dizzy in MP? He fucking better be
>>744837880You can pick anyone as anything for each class, thank god. Had a game with 4 marcuses which was retarded but kinda funny
>>744838147It must be a new team because I can’t believe this came from the same people who made Gears 4 and 5.
>>744838315Not in the beta at least, it's only like 6 characters in this test. The trailer showed more but we cant play them yet
The game that I am unironically the most interested in this year. The only AAA game carrying the torch for arena shooters. I hope to god the pvp feels good. Will try it out in an hour.
>>744838315They haven’t shown the whole playable roster yet. I’m gonna chimp out if Baird isn’t in.
>>744834315The people at The Coalition love Gears enough to provide a good Gears multiplayer experience fans want even if they make retarded and misguided decisions regarding the story (which tbf, isn't that important in Gears). It also had someone who worked at Epic on Gears in an executive capacity at the company, who knew what made Gears Gears.343 is staffed by retards that hate Halo, proud of hating Halo and the only people from OG Bungie that worked there were lower level engine and game design people (that were laid off very soon after Gaylo 4) and Frank O'Connor, who wanted to insert his gay melodramatic MCU-adjacent shit into Halo when it was and always will be a 90s sci-fi action flick. >>744834910It's much more than that. Even the GoW 1 remaster was received better than the MCC, so ever it's more that 343 never cared about Halo and the TC dudes (and possibly dudettes minus that one tranny dude who admittedly is good at his job) care a lot about Gears.
>>744838147Coalition always were amazing with UE. Overwhelming majority of people who established Coalition or rather Black Tusk were people who worked on engine. These niggas know UE better than EPIC at this point lmao.
>>744838457This and galactic racer are my two most anticipated games
Does Cliffy side with me?Not only is it called E-Day, but it comes out on my birthday. Coincidence?? I THINK NOT!
How does the new horde mode play?
I hope they go all out with characters. Everyone is alive at this point, but even then I'd like them to include characters and skins going at least as far as Gears 3
>>744838519Never thought it'd take like 20 years for the gears vs halo thing to become this one sided. Went from kinda neck and neck to both committing suicide to this complete blowout.
>>744838812As long as there won't be any from 4 and 5 even as paid shit.
>>744838797Kinda open but linear enough>spawn with squad after brief>main objective icon appears>sub objectives littered around, press to start or ignore>finished main objectives, extract or get told to help out another squad that's getting raped for a joint extractIf your squad's retarded, they can just split off and do whatever else with other squads but normally everyone will run together to the objectives.
>>744838519That tranny dude is one of the best if not the best UE engineer right now lmao. He works on UE since UT2004 basically just after school he got hired into engine team at Epic.
>>744839084>i had a match where another squad somehow bringed in their enemies towards us and we all got raped I wasnt even mad because that was cool like actual MMO type shit. i wonder if you can troll people this way kek
Versus is so fucking hard to get into.
>>744839116Usually trannies excel at somethingSo it's good if they put their skills to real use
>>744839272It depends on region. In NA you run into sweaty latinxes all day but here in EU its pretty chill it always was this way.
>>744835173>If it’s staffed by illegals that barely speak english it’ll be good.not always true. i got absolutely ripped off at an authentic place when i ordered a steak burrito because technically burritos aren't actually authentic mexican and they didn't know how to make them and i got the worst burrito i ever had, they put fucking Lettuce in it.
Video game graphics are not really going to look noticeably better at this point. I feel this looks the same as Gears 4
>>744821060boomers pissed and shit themselves over this?i'd rather unironically play fortnite.
>>744839116That's what I mean: that dude has probably worked on Gears since GoW 1. I trust that dude to make a good Gears game compared to any retard (in the coding/art departments but especially the executive department) in 343 with Halo, since nobody there has worked on a Halo older than 4 (realistically either Infinite since they're all contractors). I'd rather have experienced staff take on leadership roles in games so that they can ship out good products regarding IPs they're attached to rather than H-1B workers and other contractors doing grunt work for some retard that doesn't even care for the IP.>>744838854Yeah, it's kinda sad really. At least Gears has a lot going for it that makes it a lot more unique, even when you consider the bad entries. After 2010, Halo just killed itself and became a laughingstock of an IP. Halo truly has become Gaylo.
>>744839084sounds like helldivers 2 but with more people
>>744827824Since i'm the only one playing the game it seems I give you this. Also you can fucking chainsaw boomers if you come up from behind them.
>>744839831Not bad I suppose but it has that very typical UE5 look. They can't even get rid of the default brown/yellow lut.
>>744839991Correction: I suppose it's not even a LUT but that's what their global illumination / lumen does because the sun is 'yellow'. This is why UE games all look the fucking same.
>>744840046yeah also keep in mind I'm playing on high settings where there's like 2 levels of detail more for each setting after. For what its worth it feels really fucking fun to play. I've nearly forgotten i have to work tomorrow because i was busy playing.
I enjoy the verticality they. Standing ON a chest high wall instead of playing peek-a-boo is a neat mechanic. So is jumping and sliding for movement.
>>744840245>be me, a fucking retard>going to next objective with squad>fjump from a really high area>hit the floor and literally explode and dieyou have only yourself to blame for this if you vault over high areas
I've been playing breacher and it's good to have your own self heal but it's a very selfish class.Anyone have something to say about the other classes other than medic?
>>744839272-Learn to hipfire with the gnasher. -Sprint sparingly.Takes a while to recover and have your gun ready to shoot.-Only dodge roll away from enemies or wide around corners.
>>744840370>fall damage gibsaight that’s pretty based
>doing a wave objective with my team>see the words "INVASION!!!" appear on screen as a secondary objective>see it in the distance behind buildings>hear a what i THINK is a brumak stomping around, firing missiles and shooting at shit in the distancei didn't go that way because we were like 30 minutes into a run with a lot of secondary objectives done and evac ready but that shit sounded scary
>>744837993Based shirtless enjoyer. My friends and I all run that same exact guy when on the locust side.
Can you play as classic characters?
>>744839775Essentially. More hold your ground stuff than run and gun stuff.
Feels like they tried to focus on making all the animations too smooth. So everything feels really slow and clunky. Prob will only play campaign on game pass
>>744841021you can only play as 5 in Horde. 2 new characters, then dom, marcus, and a default gear
Pros:-it looks nice-runs good-sounds good-big hordeCons:-removed roadie run replaced it with sprinting which feels clunky.-4v4 instead of 5v5-lancers and range weapons are too good. -horde is just one huge map-'classic horde' is just play on this one part of the huge map for 10 waves.-if your tm leave during prep will be stuck with bots for the rest of the horde game.-the only interaction you have with other squads is killing grubs. Objectives are separate from each other.-if you do decide to run off and ignore your obj audio cues will keep reminding you. -Progress doesnt carry over if you are just helping other squads.-Too much annoying tooltips are screen. Takes forever to be removed.Thats all i can remember from my 2 hours.If you are getting this game just for the story. Remember it's TC. lol lmao https://gofile.io/d/U4I19E
>>744841189Rest of the og crew probably pops up in the story and will be playable later. We already know Tai is in and he’s not in the beta roster.
>>744822530This. And that sameness isn't good. Just tedious gnasher jousting every time. Gears has never had fun multiplayer, just fun campaigns and horde.
Never cared for PVP so I have been grinding the new hoard modes and I am loving it. Guns and movement feel a lot better than 4 and 5.
>>744841295>https://gofile.io/d/U4I19E>200gbs of locust pornThanks bro
>>744840428Marksman is really good to shit on boomers and the enemy scan is very useful in clusterfuck situations.
Is so cool seeing all the squads suddenly converge to fight the same bosses. Those frogs are really fucking annoying.
>>744842847you can throw nades into the mouths
Boomer chainsaw kill. seems to require they be at about half HP. this works on Boss tier Boomers too.
The new imulsion shotgun is my favorite weapon.
>>744843013I like the locust bolt action rifle
>>744842914The chainsaw animations are really nice
genuinely the best thing I can say right this moment is that it feels like Gears of War if it had continued from 3 instead of 4 and 5 being made. And I think that's high praise. I don't feel the hard stink of 4 and 5 outside of maybe the loss of some impact and squibs, and the hard color grading, but aside from that - right this moment - this feels like it needs to. Playing on infantry for horde is hard as fuckin balls though. holy fuck.
>>744821060>nostalgia bait>actually looking all around quite decentAny actual negatives before I go in? Do they have any plans for Dizzy, Cole and Baird?
>recruit>these dudes hit pretty hard but I'm like level 7 now>crank up to infantry>entire squad getting shreddedHoly fuck, we won but everyone was getting downed left and right. Shit's tough. Seeing another squad run in was actually a relief
Played for about 4 hoursPros:>Horde is fun>Gears feels like Gears again>Dom and Marcus are just how you remember them>Running into other squads is always fun Cons:>No Boltok pistol>No chainsaw duels>No meatshields>Sprint feels weirder than Roadie RunningOverall I've enjoyed my time so far, I really hope they add new areas and make some objective that put you close to other squads, or make it so you and a squad both have an objective in the same area so you interact more.
>>744844003I legit had to keep the gain health on perfect reload on infantry because you just take fucking tons of damage.
>>744844130having never played a gears game before, its helldivers if it wasn't made by swedes
>>744844159>everyone was getting downed left and right. Shit's tough. Seeing another squad run in was actually a reliefThis. I hope they don't pussy out and nerf the difficulty when some redditor bitches about how he can't solo everything by himself.It's actually a relief when you see other squads coming near you since they help clear out the area.
>>744844224>its helldivers if it wasn't made by swedesthat can mean a lot of things... but i am going to take it as something that looks good and will probably improve with some minor fixes
>>744844267Waves restarting on the wave you wiped on is also a godsend. I couldn't imagine having to redo the entire thing. The difficulty actually feels like everyone's getting their shit rocked like they quite literally are in universe
>>744844304NTA but as a helldivers and vermin/darktide player for years, not being made by swedes is a VERY good thing.
>>744844331Oh yeah totally, even when I was with just one other person and stuck with two bots in my squad we were able to get it done because of some random squad passing through on the last wave. They really did nail the line between "tough but fair" with all the respawns and revives you're given
>>744844390nta but one of my friends has bounced around game studios, including some time at arrowhead. some of the devs just use ketamine at their desks and are high all day and do fuckall/do it so poorly they take 5x longer to get regular shit finished. not surprised swedes are fags
>>744844213dude i'm eating shit to wretches
>>744844669Just spam the pistol on them with hipfire, it's not worth using your gnasher or lancer on it
I miss the color palette of Gears 2 that was kind of autumn colors this seems very grey
>infantry >exploding grunts>torque bow grubs>boomers>wave based mission>tickers
>>744834426PvP COULD have been fun. But it's just one way of playing which is "wall bouncing at high speed with a shotgun" no tactical play at all and not gears.
This thing is probably gonna run like shit on my laptop's RTX 5050, so I'm not even gonna bother.
>>744834752Gears multiplayer in all games is using only the shotgun and sliding from wall to wall while shooting said shotgun.
>>744846140It runs at 60fps on a Series S Xbox and the graphics are the same as the last 2 Gears. Try it.
>got the new grenade launcher at lvl 9>its shitdo mods save it
>>744846268I'm so burned out by UE5 games having dogshit performance on PC that I'm genuinely hesitant to try this.
>>744821060My thoughts so farGame looks fucking amazing and runs well, but randomly crashes no matter my settings on PC but it is a beta though. Gameplay is solid and the weapon customization for horde siege is amazing so I have high hopes except for a few major hiccups>No Boltok, sawed off shotgun or Markza>No Chainsaw duels (Confirmed this myself when I killed a guy who revved his chainsaw thinking we'd duel)>No grenade tagging>No meatshields>Boomers and Grinders are needlessly tanky to the point that Gnasher shots to the face barely feel like they do shit, A Boomer can survive a full clip of perfect reload point blank Gnasher shots>Can't select MP weapons so if you liked taking the retro lancer, or hammerburst your shit out of luck because you have to pick them up like in 5 same thing with no frags on spawn its only a smoke nade
>Play Horde>It's funI wasn't expecting this desu but it's pretty fun to romp around the map when two squads converge near an objective and help each other out it can get pretty kino.I just wish it had more main objective variety
Wasn't aware there were so many Mexicans on /v/.
>>744846974Arriba Mexico, cabron!
>>744846625>Can't select MP weapons so if you liked taking the retro lancer, or hammerburst your shit out of luck because you have to pick them up like in 5 same thing with no frags on spawn its only a smoke nadeI'm sick of them going backwards with this shit. I like having weapon variety to start with and certain playstyles to match weapon combos, instead we gone back to Gears 1 barebones loadout and wasting weapon pick-ups spots for other weapons they could've added to the game.
Everyone is now spiritually browner for playing this game
>>744845835I can NOT tell you how many times I've gotten tagged by a random torque bow holy shit. I also like how you can tell who's playing on what difficulty. Infantrybros are either darting around and fighting their fucking hearts out or getting annihilated and other squads gotta come in and help
>>744846625So is a chainsaw kill just random or whoever revved up first?
Carmine was a trooper.
>>744847212is it a good game tho
>doing the extraction of a really fucked but profitable Infantry run>cobalt comes in for the save>chopper arrives>asks if we can help the out real quick>"Nah we're good bro good luck">"NAH COME ONE BRO"Funniest shit to happen tonight lmao. Proofs https://files.catbox.moe/kjsvct.webm
>>744848049Come on*Brain fried. Good beta though. Lot of fun. you fight your fucking ass off on infantry. I don't know how the fuck commander is.
Took three squads to kill this fucking thing.
>>744848049This shit feels so frantic now that more people are moving onto infantry, it's great. Squads actually merging to fuck shit up after being raped alone for so long.
>>744847212Gears of War was always the white man's game I dunno what you're trying to prove here
>>744846625Boomers and Grinders can be instakilled with a chainsaw at half or less HP. they aren't the problem you think they are, really. >>744842914
>>744846625>nade taggingfirst thing i tried to do to a flayer and he smacked my ass into a e hole. in a way i kinda get it it'd be OP and nades are pretty tacticool now. kinda wish you could at least turn them into mines still.
DLSS 4.5 RAY RECONSTRUCTION DLL?
>>744846268Is it actually 60fps on series s?
>>744846625you unlock weapons for classes as you go on. Hasmmerburst and Retro lancer is fucking everywhere and so are ammo caches so this is a non-problem. All weapons take ammo from weapon caches and you can also buy ammo with your energy. You unlock frags at like level 5 for your loadout. you unlock incendierys too.
only big gripe is the music desu. wish the old guy was doing it
>>744848584They're adding more Gears of War menu music at launch so we can hear our favorites again.
>>744821060Played Versus for 5 hours or so. Haven't read the thread and am just posting.>Movement and animations feel absolutely terrible and janky as fuck. Like WTF is going on? Your character slides around the map all the time like they're covered in oil, i'm not even talking about wall bouncing or the actual slide. Just the inertia and camera of the models is fucked.>Balancing wise, the Gib range on the Gnasher is insanely far. The lancer and snub are annoying when good players cross. I'm pretty sure they added stopping power slow down again in some form but can't confirm. TTK in general is high.>you take way to many bullets to kill people who are already downed, which makes the game feel inconsistent with the ttk conplaint.>no stun grenades so ranked matches where people actually know how to play will get extremely cancerous and defensive>movement is still neigh useless compared to mouse aim and mouse has a giant advantage even if you suck at the movement. This is intended by the devs since 4.
So far horde has been way more enjoyable than pvp by a country mile
Horde boltaction needs something more to it it doesn’t do much damage for the amount of ammo in a mag
>you can just add bayonet charge to the gnasherfucking sick
>>744849635I think it shreds armor. 1-2 shots with perfect reload were enough to remove a boomer's helmet
>>744849018No doubt, I'm getting older and kind of losing my PVP touch so I thought maybe it was just me preferring coop but everyone's gushing about it.I honestly think they just put more resources and focus into horde and thank god they did. It feels like a constant battle with squads dropping in and out, which is fitting for the in-game universe
>>744848304>spic man’s gameftfy
Boss flayers are hitler I an putting this line in the sand.Also frogs feel kinda ass to fight. I think all enemies need a bit more battle damage states.Also I want a berserker to enter the horde map that’d be funny as fuck
>>744850025>two boss flayers show up for a final round>random fucking reaver shows up toocancer encounter
>>744848446Yes.lt has 3 graphics modes on Series S. I played on Performance and Balance(40fps cap) and it was good.
Someone post the ugly tranny looking wahmen this game has
Does it run on troonix?
Shit infantry is brutal
>>744852527It should since there is Steam version.

>rookie felt fine, lets play infantry>we're all getting wiped
>>744853520this truly was a Gears of War: E(mergence)-Day
breechshot feels worthless past rookie difficulty
>>744853649What? I've been headshotting so many drones and even boomers with it on Infantry. Stop being bad at video games, anon.
Guys, I'm actually having fun.
>>744853807i don't want to keep double tapping heads and then triple tapping the ones with helmets, longshot is better for general 1-taps
Reddit is seething about the movement being clunky, but I actually kind of like it. Being able jump and climb over shit is pretty cool too.
God this movement feels so much better than previous Gears games.
What class is everyone playing? Medic seems like the best class desu.
>>744848468Not for horde siege for VERSUS modegears 2/3/judgement/4 let us select different starting weapons then gears 5 randomly locked everyone to the same loadout and made you pick up retro lancers and hammerbursts even though theyre just sidegrades to the lancer.>>744848324Its more just its clunky as fuck to do real damage to them with a Gnasher purely because of how fucking tall they are you can't just consistantly beam them in the head 50x over like with a lancer
>>744853918If there's anything I'd figure would gather in the "public" Reddit discourse, it would be people attached to wallbouncing gnasherfests that hate that Gears stopped playing like 1.
Ayo whats up with my game
>>744854106Turn off DLSS5
>>744854035was going to grind sharpshooter to get the breechshot but turns out the base longshot is better.does anyone know if progress will get transfered from the betas to launch?
>>744854193They don't transfer sadly
How the FUCK do you deal with Flayers? They're so fucking tanky and have pinpoint accuracy. What the FUCK.

5 days advanced access? what the fuck is wrong with them
>>744854569Everything is doing this nowadays to appeal to the nerds that really, really want early rights to games to be playing ASAP. Ironically it works for consumers that aren't insane; you get a ton of feedback out in the wild before release, and if the game is shit before a day one patch, it's on their heads, not ours.
>>744854106Shader compilation issues. You gotta recompile them again. Had this happen in other games.
>2080S struggling to run this game.>Can't turn off raytracing.>Chainsaw breaks character motion.>No meatshields>Can't grenade tag/plant>Horde has just become nothing but bullet sponge enemies.>Clunky, not as fluid as previous games.>Mantle now it's own thing.wht the fuck
>>744854651This is by far the worst business practive we've seen in gaming actually. because pirate faggots get to play before the actual paid customers(regualr preordered users) and I've seen 2 to 3 days but 5 days is just insane faggotry.
>>744853520>got medic to lvl 10>lets play infantry>level 2s-6s as far as the eye can seeyou DID level your class first, right anon? level 10 gives stat boosts for infantry
>faggots leaving us to fight the brumak>we die>nobody gets our dogtagsholy niggers
>>744855028My squad has our shit to do, fag. Imagine not being able to kill a Brumak by yourself.
>>744855087First thing, you're a faggot go play solo games. Second thing, i was talking about half my squad.
I'm having a blast, /v/ros.
>>744834315>>744834910>>744838519>>744839116>>744839480>tourists who don't joined in halo 3 whining about halo againlmfao
>>744854974went to lvl 4, didn't think infantry would be that big of a difference
>>744832645No you can't.
>>744855307i have yet to see a squad that consisted of anything lower than level 7 peeps get out of infantry. the game wants you in that kiddie pool til you're level 10.
I haven't had this much fun since Gears 3
>>744855289>he doesn't know that MCC on PC gain newer fans who missed out on the crazeLmao
>>744840187I bought Gears 5 and it feels really fun to play, it's somehow more Quake than any of the new id software games (obviously not fps but in the spirit more so). Gears E-Day looks somewhat stale when compared to Gears 5 graphically... It's still probably fun to play though.
>>744834315Gears has no presence outside of NA so no one cares. Halo has been trying to get back the mythical greater audience that dropped it for CoD since 2008.
>>744855890>Gears E-Day looks somewhat stale when compared to Gears 5 graphicallyIts because entire lighting system is RT based in E Day. Ive been telling people that RTGI will make games look even more samey,homogenized and soulless. RT targets sterile realtime realistic shit by default and no matter how you adjust your assets depending on your art direction pipeline it will look sterile to target le realism.
>>744855893>Gears has no presence outside of NAI'm worried about this because i live in asia but i want to get this game but will there be audience?
>>744853918Lmao so thats were all the wall bouncing faggots are. Glad I don't see any on /v/.
>>744844130>Any actual negatives before I go in?unless you care about the 'roadie run' thing, then it's a pretty damn good game compared to the endless trash we've played the past 10 years
>>744856375Depends. Im EU and recently when they added Reloaded to Premium goypass tier i had no issues finding players. I dont know how its in Asia but id assume its going to be hard for versus but PvE modes will have some people playing.
>>744846625>but randomly crashes no matter my settings on PC but it is a beta thoughwhat are your specs?
>>744855893it's a shitty console game, we grew up on quake and counter strike.
>>744855890This game is nothing like Quake.
>>744834315Gears never fell as hard as Halo. It had missteps and stupid storybeats but the overall experience didn't completely change the way Halo killed itself. It's a crime it took them this long to just make more games set during the original locust war years though, it was an obvious move.
The fuck is wall bouncing?
>>744856724a technique that latinx gears of war players use to move at lightspeed and 1-shot you in PVP
>>744856724It basically makes you zoom around fast. Only used for shotgun engagements. It's Smash wave dashing, but for Gears.https://youtube.com/watch?v=Pfhj1njBk8c
>>744856648Gears had pretty big scene back in the day here but it died out within couple of years unfortunately due to zerosupport from MS while they were sponsoring MLG circuits in NA. We had lans and shit i played both Gears and CoD4 Promod.
>>744856724You know how with some timing and good work you'd be able to close into cover from a short distance? Imagine people being able to do that to shoot from cover to cover almost non-stop, faster than what controllers can try to aim at, solely because of movement exploits and quirks that became an official part of gameplay. It lived and breathed most infamously alongside the GoW1 Gnasher, which was an instant gib death radius so good that it dominated the game and everyone bitched about being shot by anything else.
I only care about the campaign and coop. competitive gears will always be autistic and anti cover shooter. its just a bunch of retarded exploits with shotgun jousting. the genre was never meant to be played like that but here we are with autistic esports ruining tactical cover shooters.
>>744856724It looks like faggots spazzing/gitching out.
>>744856786I'm not American but it was really fucking weird how the franchise just fizzled out here after 2. All my boys did GoW2 horde mode runs, PVP, ect but 3 just had 0 impact. I ended up getting the CE version of 3 for real cheap a month after launch because my local EB Games still had a shitload of them all marked down.
PvP is antithetical to gears so long as the shotgun exists. Theres no point in using any other weapon.
>>744856951power weapons dominate. you can actually help your team out a lot by peppering people with the lancer. helps them gib fools while they're battling with gnashers
>>744856724It's the GAYEST SHIT in the FUCKING world.
>>744856951I remember the sawed off shotgun in the GoW 3 beta making those people absolutely ass blasted. All them trying to wall bounce with the gnasher only to be instantly gibbed by some dude pointing vaguely in their direction.
>>744856786>MLGCringe memeshit videos.
MOM GET DAH CAMERA
>>744857143Memes aside it was proper le esports circuit so you had some money or were able to pay off venue and shit. They sponsored local stuff too.
>>744856784Suddendly I lost all interest of trying this game
>>744857374E Day piped this autism down actually and I wont be suprised if they will pipe it down even more so. Apart from turbo sweats no on likes wallbouncing like that. It does take skill and execution so you wont see latinxes wallbouncing across entire map often but its still retarded and Coalition nerfed it in older games too. Whats worst is that just adding a tiny bit more recovery frames would make it better already but they instead always try to reinvent the wheel and try some stupid ass ways to nerf this.
>>744857374Horde is the main focus now it seems (PVE) It used to be 4 players then 5. Now its 12 players for horde. They tried to come up with an answer to these fuckers with the sawed off shotgun in 3 but its a double shot and takes a day to reload.
Versus is the same old shit, people bouncing off walls and gnasher spamming as their abuela vacuums in the background. Horde feels kinda cool at times when you're fighting off waves but the big open map feels barren and it's gay running from place to place haphazardly. Also half the time nobody seems to really know what's going on, I just had myself and another squad try to fight off what I assume was an armored seeder mini-boss and nobody knew what the fuck to do to break the armor and the timer just ran out kek. Might've just been a failed IQ test on that one.
>>744857692Horde really feels like Gears of War:Helldivers 2 Edition especially in aspect of squads where if you got a brainlet in a squad then its over you're getting gaped. I like that from design standpoint but yeah without friends this might become ass.
>>744857692>>744857943Just get good enough to carry your dumbo squadmates. Simple as.
I can't get rid of 20 years of muscle memory I keep trying to run with A and forget I can jump with Y then I'm spamming A wondering why I can't get over cover what the fuck
>>744858229Also they changed the one stick movement while revving the chainsaw and that's just fucking retarded show me a single person that thought "boy I sure wish I could strafe while revving the chainsaw" so I can shoot them
>>744858047I think issue is class system to be sole carry anon. All these nu PvE games always put some artificial bullshit through enemy encounter design and class systems so you arent able to be the hyper carry, no matter what you just get overrun. For example you cant heal yourself on your own through shit like medpacks scattered around map or anything like that but you have to rely on your medic negro at all times. Instead of class ability being something that fills the gap and helps but you can succeed and do stuff that ability does without them shit is designed with hyper focus on these abilities so every casual fag feels like they contribute.
>>744858425This is why I like playing as Breacher. The stim ability fully heals and gives a damage boost. It really feels like the most self-sufficient class in the game since its ability only benefits me lol.
How does it feel to play?
>>744858850Really good. It takes time to adjust to new movement but I really like it. Some people say that movement is jank some say its good so youd have to try it yourself. As for rest of the game like gameplay design,gunplay then its top tier but core gameplay in Gears always delivers even gay girlboss gears 5 was great in that regard.
>>744854786>Can't grenade tag/plantWtf that's gay as fuck I loved planting grenades
>>744859104>gears 2>plant smoke>everyone ragdoll falls to the ground
>>744859141That shit was funny for couple of hours but then became gay as hell because everyone was abusing this.
>>744837717You can change the skin of every single classes to whoever you like, its more like gears 4 horde mode where the game is going to ask you to use very specific cards and perks or you eat shit and die.
>>744856724>it's a cover shooter>devs add a button to make your character snap into the nearest piece of cover>there is no cooldown period to this>somehow devs didn't foresee people using it to zip around the entire map in ways that make counter-strike bunnyhopping look completely tametldr it's extremely gay and lame and the people who wax nostalgic over it are mexicans who grew up to behead tourists
My shit ass toaster needs to put all the settings to the lowest so I can play the game well.
>>744859213Oh I know. Annex was unplayable sknce everyone was throwing smokr at the objective. You just sat your controller down until the enemy team arrived to shotgun you in the face.
>>744855671Not enough to keep the series alive, despite the claims mcc is better than the rest.
>>744858850Really shit. Enemies take 1-2 full mags to die.
>scope in to snipe>wretch appears>shoot at boss>wretch appears>defuse bomb>wretch appearsIt's insane how much of a pest these fuckers can be, they always find a way to flank you. Fun dynamic always being flushed out by these little shits, makes games feel super chaotic
>>744858850Real good, controls take some getting used to though. Y to vault and jump makes moving quickly over shit easy, I just always think I need to take cover and hold A.
>>744860121They made their AI actually how they always were supposed to be lmao. In old game they always just run straight at you but here they are actually flanking and such. They are actually annoying little faggots this time.
>>744859946Is this your first gears of war or something? especially in horde when the enemy gets buffed as you progress through the waves and certain mutators
since this is on UE5 will this be the first GoW game to have a heavy modding presence? i wanna give carter big bazookas and put a back over her head
>>744860572>back>bagsmartphones were a mistake
>>744860563>This is how it always was so its good that the only viable way to kill anything is melee because ranged feels and is dogshit to use No wonder this shit series never got off xbox.
>>744860678Aim for the head nigga you can literally stunlock everything and kill it in one lancer or hammerburst mag without an active reload at least up to soldier difficulty. Only exception being boomers and grinders but those are designed to be that way.
>>744860759You can keep your spongy dogshit game on your niggerbox.
>>744860838Skill issue confirmed
>>744839442crazy isn't it? was thinking the same myselfhere i am with hardware twice as strong yet games look just the same and run even worse very strange hmmmm
>>744860838Filtered.
>>744860893>>744860868I prefer my games to be well made and fun, not piss fucking easy and boring sponges. Post your hands.
>>744839831The Chainsaw bayonet wasn't developed until after E-Day.Glad that we get to see Dom one last time though.
>>744860931Stop being bad at video games.
>>744860868>Sit as far back from spawns as possible>Tap heads endlessly >Rinse and repeat Please dont pretend this game has skill involved.
>Game is piss easy actually even though I'm crying on a mongolian basket weaving forum because I can't hit them in the head and it takes 4 mags to kill a droneloooool
>>744860952Stop paying for skill-less video games nigger.
>>744859946Gears has always been spongy as fuck. Tourists and newfags don't realise this was the fundamental reason the series died meanwhile other shooters became faster and more twitch based.
>>744860931>Level 10 literally has a 'you can play and have fun' passive >Have to grind lower levels just to play higher levels >In a Gears of War gameIts like remaking a beloved classic then shitting all over it. I am half surprised it isn't just AI slop too.
>>744822585>E-holeHow much do you have to tip to stumble into one of those?
>>744860957You can't actually do that in horde dumbass the objective holdouts are designed to be easily flankeable and the AI exploits the shit out of it to get the drop on you this ain't gears 2 where enemies charge at you straight if you hide in a hallway if you camp without being aware of your surrounding you will have a grenedier shoving a gnasher up your ass.Horde is so fucking good this time around I'm glad after the huge letdown that was 5
>>744831441>PerformanceGood>FoidsYes, forced women characters >GoreMid>Hit detection/weapon balancePretty shit
>>744828338>That smirkHe definitely farded, didn't he?
>>744861057>ESL garbage Couldn't even read it. Skill issue.
>>744861057>You can't actually do that in hordeNta but I am doing that right now in Horde. You just corner camp every objective. You will die instantly if you leave cover on the higher difficulties.
i want to be able to have marcus fenix stuttering "bring it" in the options menu by shifting the sound slider continuously again.my friend who had an xbox 360 showed me that back in highschool and mental image of marcus having a seizure during that has been seared into me ever since.
>>744860947The lancer in this game is called the "prototype lancer"
>>744856576>unless you care about the 'roadie run' thingWhat did they do
>>744861259They're going to retcon the shit out of its origins because it was designed way after e-day
>>744839272Protip, if you are at any sort of chokepoint, like a doorway or whatever, or behind cover keep the entrance/ipen space to your right if possible but dont get into cover mode, just stand there, shooting from cover has just a tiny amount of animation delay so you will almost always be able to win a gnasher confrontation with a blindfire if they are using the cover mechanic, just step out from whatever you are standing behind and pop them with a blindfire when they get close and you have LoS
>>744842914I can't take the boomer chainsaw animation seriously anymore after seeing this image.
>>744861402You just run like a normal soldier would now instead of that weird crouch run that you do in all the other games
>>744861402Marcus and the others didn't invent roadie running yet.
>>744846625>No grenade taggingI immediately lost all interest
Seeing Marcus and Dom with somewhat normal human proportions instead of being roided up beefcakes feels weird. What's the canon reason for this? Did they not start taking steroids until later on or what?
How to make this video postable on 4chan???: https://old.reddit.com/r/GearsOfWar/comments/1vhgtlb/beta_is_a_pain_in_the_ass/
>>744861432They show in the first gameplay reveal that Tai was just running around chainsawing locusts on E-Day with hardware store chainsaws lmao
>>744861669I think they've never outright said if it was steroids or not believe it or not.
>>744861478>>744861509Is it honestly a good change? I don't think I've seen a game change one of its most iconic features mechanics for the better.
>>744862054In practice it's the exact same you run forward and your turning speed is severely limited I think they changed it because transitioning into a slide from a roadie run where they're basically srhimp running would look extremely awkward.
>>744862054Its whatever honestly. You have more control over your character during sprint now I guess but thats it. I wont cry about roadie being gone.
>>744834315>How the fuck did TC managed to redeem themselvesthey havent yet
But we already had 3 gears games that were just like this.. I couldn't care less about multiplayer shooter for ranks is it just me?
>>744861669>>744861945any changes to the COG military make up like roids would've started after the Hammer strikes a year after E-day>women in the military dwindle as Pendulum war vets die(they won't kill their new cheap vasquez copy tho)>women get transferred to non-military roles or get put in breeding creches>men start roiding up to match the Locust Drones in muscle mass>Lancer Mark II gets put in full production
>>744861787is this the power of AAA in 2026....holy fuck
>>744862116So there's crouch sliding now?
>>744834753just go to chipotle for burritos. street vendors runs the risk of infecting you with 5 different types of parasites
>>7448210604v4 is such a shitty limit. 5v5 needs to comeback by release
>>744862407>recommends avoiding parasites>lists the most parasitic bacteria ridden dogshit everhow devilish of you
>Chicanos>>>Mexicans>Chipotlegrimdark
>>744856771>>744859401Was Gears popular competitively in Latin America or some shit? The most exposure I got to the online was with Gears 2 and the Epic forums had nonstop complaints about the Gnasher being nerfed.
The cover snapping instant shotgun kill gay bullshit is still as prevalent as ever, so I shall be refunding
Not sure if I can explain it but it feels exactly as hollow as Infinite did, doesn't really feel like there is any new fun to be had just rehashing memories from 20 years ago. Not really impressed by it despite it feeling relatively competent
>>744862960Gears as IP always was very popular in mexico it still is.
>>744863108Is there an interesting reason for that, or just fairly mundane ones?
>>744862054I dont mind it. Feels a bit weird since gears is known for the run, but it's not unfitting. When you sprint, you still hear the loud ass steps, the grunts and the armor jostling so it feels right at home.
>>744863207Not really. Some say its because of Dom while some list other reasons. Its just very popular IP with latinxes.
>>744863236It feels very awkward to me compared to the old system, maybe I just need to get used to it.
>>744862960Xbox had a really aggressive campaign in North America and Japan back when Bill Gates was the head honcho, high tier Disney voice actors, regional pricing, regional promotions. It was so popular people are still die hard fans of the brand 20 years after. We Beaners gravitated more towards GOW and Burgers towards CoD. The golden years of gaming unironically.
>>744863374Yeah, it took me a few matches to get behind it.
PC keybinds are grim. Way too much reliance on ctrl for important shit. Fuck ctrl. I'll mess around with rebinding tomorrow but damn.
>try grenade launcher>this fucking sucks dick>use it on a group of big fucks>deletes themShit now we're gaming.
>>744839442>I feel this looks the same as Gears 4And runs 5x worse while also being blurry as shit. Tim Sweeneys asshole needs to be turned into ground beef for what he has done to this industry.
I want to play Gears of War E-Day but I'm stuck on last gen :(
>>744856687>Gears never fell as hard as Halo.Halo still sells despite what twitter and 4chan would lead you to believe.
>>744864473:/ ://///////////////////////////////////it's not healthy anon, let it go
The retro lancer is as good as gears 3 beta and for that alone Im enjoying my time immensely Fuck gnasher fags haha
>>744844130>Do they have any plans for Dizzy, Cole and Baird?Haven't hear anything but im 100% sure they will be included on multiplayer because they are fan favorites, on the campaign is doubtful because at this point they havent join the COG yet.
>>744863207The latin american dub is great, that helps a lot.https://youtu.be/R2eZuT0HYiw?
>>744856687Yeah I really did feel like gears 4 and 5 were some of the only competently made Xbox exclusives in the Xbox one era
>>744864765>HAHA YES I AM AGAINST WHAT PUT THE GAME ON THE MAP AND MADE IT ICONIC
>want to play>have to wait until after workany good gears novels that I can listen to?
>>744865384Sorry hermano but no one gave a fuck about Gears MP. Maybe you played it between cartel shootouts but to the western world it was the campaign that put it on the map.
>>744863580Its a console game. Why the hell you arnt using a controller?
>>744865384pretty sure the chainsaw on the lancer is what made Gears iconic my dear amigo
>Gears 5 is on sale? It can't be that bad, I wonder how much it is with the DLC bundled>RELEASE DATE: 10 Sep, 2019Seven years ago? What the fuck?
>>744865324It was also never in direct competition with Call of Duty like Halo was. Halo got it's shit rocked by CoD and it shat itself to death trying to reclaim that audience, but Gears just continued on and fizzled out pretty naturally after 3.
>>744865989The DLC for 5 is fun but it’s also one of the worst stories in the franchise. It’s really bad.And the only good part of 5 is the gears 2 callback
Okay I really don't like how people can just skip the execution mid execution, thereby skipping their humiliation and depriving you of a kill
>>744866078Only the enemy should be able to
>>744866078>people can skip their own executionWHATwhy aren't more people talking about that???>o-oh they're calling gears male and female!!11oneonefuck your stupid culture war this is way bigger news, holy shit
>tfw having funI managed to get breacher to 10 really quick.Infantry gives you fuck tons of resources. I wonder if I can get all of them maxed by the end of the beta
Holy fuck the incinerator shotgun is fucking nuts. It’s literally a “fuck you die” gun, especially with perfect ammo.I still miss my Boltok pistol though.
>>744866523We’ll probably get it in the full game. I don’t think this is the full arsenal.
>>744866523The charge is going to make or break it desu unless there’s a mod to make it instant
>>744866398There is a "give up" mechanic when you are downed to kill yourself instead of waiting for a revive, like in Battlefield. So you can just do that while someone is executing you
Potato pc bros, any way to make the game run smoother?I can get it to run well enough but sole times it stutters when there’s a large number of effects going on
>>744863092I think you’re just jaded. I played infinite on launch and it was so barebones that it didn’t feel like a complete game (which it really wasn’t lol. A fuck beta for a slayer playlist should tell you all you need to know about 343)I do hope we get new horde siege maps, and beast mode coming back would be nice
>>744866810Turn down the effects. Play on shit settings and turn on dlss. Frame gen is not part of this beta
>playing rig protection on infantry>brumak spawns nearby>exploding wretches>hearing Anvil and Cobalt getting this shit kicked in and yelling over commsKek this game might be alright.
>>744867183Does proximity VC work well for you? I kept hearing choppy comms when I was in game
>>744867479It’s pretty choppy yeah but I can make out people yelling
I played both 4 and 5 but remembers nothing about those two
Think they'll ever make a Gears 6? Or is this another case like Halo Infinite where they will never follow up on that.
>>744867749They’ve more or less written themselves into a hole with 5’s ending with a choice that felt forced and no one liked, on top of everyone feeling like Swarm is just Temu Hive. It’s almost as bad of a writing hole as the end of Halo 5 and we all saw how they literally dropped it in Infinite because theu didn’t bother to figure out whay to do next.I think E-day was the game we should have gotten after 3. It was always an idea that was really cool and would have made a lot of sense to see over 4 and 5z
>>744867749Not really. As >>744868147 said no one cares about 4 and 5’s story.I think the only thing they could really do is another prequel, but even that’d be really hard to pull off
Why not call it G-Day?
>>744868254They did, it’s called Judgment and it was a sign of things to come.Needless to say i think this is their last shot at getting anything gears made.Granted the beta is incredibly promising.
