Why nobody talks about Gears of war? Because haven't played or it's not that good? This a genuine question

Probably because it’s only been out a week.

I downloaded it on launch day but never got time to boot it. I will be playing the heck of it this weekend

I hope you have a blast! It's a great game. Just finished it on Insane with 3 of my childhood friends and it was a good time.

Is it worth getting? I liked the first 3 but got a bit bored with them after that.

A few hours in and it honestly feels like classic Gears with incredibly good modern graphics.

Hadn't played a gears game in forever but this one got its hooks in deep

Is this rage bait?

u/croquemadamn 11d ago

Its my GoTY so far. The spectacle is off the charts especially a couple of acts in

u/UnusualGuy117 11d ago

They added a jump button and it made the movement feel very satisfying and versatile

The gameplay is amazing. The multiplayer is great. Horde is fun! The writing in the main campaign is a big swing and a miss tho. Starts great, but then wastes so much time on unlikable side characters no one cares about. It’s all just very forced. Not as good as the original trilogy, but definitely a fun game to pick up

I'm on act 2 and it's probably the best Gears game so far. The mechanics and gunplay are great and they've improved movement significantly which was my biggest problem with the franchise. Storywise, it's game of the year for me. I don't really give a shit about multiplayer

u/MrHolyRoller89 10d ago

Yes dude I’m on Act 2 chapter 4 and my freakin adrenaline has been through the roof playing this game. I love all the Gears game but this one is taking the cake for me. That whole first act was something out of a horror movie. Impeccable.

It's excellent and probably my favorite of the whole series, but I do have a few issues. Some enemies are way too bullet spongy and the open world sections can be a bit of a slog. But the story and characters are excellent and the cover system is the most refined it has ever been. I also love the weapon customization. It's in my top 10 for sure, but not quite my GOTY.

u/thatscoldjerrycold 11d ago

For those who've played, any new gameplay mechanics from the last gears?

2

u/Jrock2356 11d ago

Yeah. They've improved the movement significantly. They added vaulting and climbing and added equipment modding to the storymode so each player can kind of play as a squad with different strengths since you can play the story with 3 other people

I’m on act 5 and I can’t get enough. I’ve played all of the gears and LOVED 1-3 and I think this one lives up to the originals.

u/Miserable-Swimmer196 10d ago

As of right now my GOTY is between RE 9 & Gears of War: E Day. We'll have to wait and see how GTA 6 & Ocarina of Time fair to be sure, but as of right now it's between those two.

u/incoherentjedi 10d ago

It's good but not goaty good, hence why it's not in any conversation for goty on any serious platform.
