Dang! Man I'm so excited for this game. That gameplay trailer they showed (was it E32018?) with that Japanese maple tree and then fire surrounding them. The mix of open world and katana sword fighting and the stealth... looks fantastic. I'm hoping it will be a launch window title for PS5.
Gears has a very established suite of MP modes, so if the servers launch in good condition, I can't see how it would LOWER the score at all.
I set up my PC out in the living room so I can play on that and the wife can play on our X1X, that way we can co-op but get the full beautiful details and 60fps. Cross-play & GamePass PC for the win.
Gears is the one shooter that always brings my wife and my brothers together.
Just the level of polish, detail, and pure content makes it hard for me to understand a 6/10 especially knowing how good the series is, but you always have a few reviews where it won't click for some.
If you don't like cover shooters, you won't like Gears.
It's because back then 10's were for special games, and a lot of why this changed is because the focus on a meta score. People have this stigma that if your game isn't rated 8 or higher it's junk.
Both are great, but Gears will give you a full suite of gameplay variety from co-op campaign, and plenty of PvP and PvE modes.
Control is amazing as well, great story, great characters, but it's your typical story focused SP game that you'll be done with in 8 hours.
Both are worth your time though.
It's kind of a strange one out there for reviews. Higher scores are loving the new open levels praising it for the exploration, while others are saying it's just an empty point A to point B drive with nothing to do.
Game Informer gave it an 8.5 and said the open levels are just point A to point B, but other reviews are saying there are multiple things to find like Jack upgrades, relic weapons, side missions, lore collectables that flesh out the story... Game Informe...
It's all good, obviously it's more so for product placement for the new movie. But its not completely unrelated at least. Ah well, it's just an MP skin, don't really care either way.
I'll just reply to you here so you'll get the notification.
Gears 4 introduces the DeeBees which are robotic enemies through most of the game. Created for good, but then used for facist reason by the government. Gears 5 is now doing a Linda Hamilton/T-800 crossover which is a human vs robot story as well so I think it fits nice enough. And yes they do have the T-800 for the enemy side as well.
Plus her badass demeanor fits perfectly in the gears ...

How so? Gears 4 introduces the DeeBees which are robotic enemies through most of the game. Gears 5 is now doing a Linda Hamilton/T-800 crossover which is a human vs robot story as well.
@Mr Pumblechook
Lol nice try my guy
"Just Facts, No Rumors"
Yet we haven't even gotten all the facts...
But none of those makes sense as why they would be featured.
Bautista has been very open and active in trying to play as Marcus for the Gears movie, so this is a nice nod, or perhaps a bit of foreshadowing for the movie news.
Embargo lifts tomorrow.
That should be one of his execution moves.
Yesss haha
Bautista for Marcus in the movie please.
Yes because Destiny sure did blow everyone away...
@Troop
Jesus dude you are f-ing nuts. Sony acquired Insomniac... have they showed what they are working on next? Why are they taking so long? Geez. So you want them to announce games way too early? Show some concept art? You honestly thinking these developers are just sitting around doing nothing? Yes, some of the devs have some side projects they were working on like Ninja Theory with Bleeding Edge, you have Playground Games working on an RPG, but if the other studios didn...
@trooper
What are you talking about? How is making 2 very large and great RPG's not enough? And I literally just told you what they have been doing...
You realize they just got acquired a year ago? You think they are already working on second projects and ready to show them after a year?
I hate it because Friday's are the days I have to get up at 3am... so I love when games drop before a weekend, but I hate since I'm west coast that it unlocks at Thursday night because I always stay up too late playing haha
