Official Thread Gears 4 **NO SPOILERS**

Finished Act 2. That was epic. Reviewers complaining the campaign is lackluster or whatever. Get out of here.

They're gonna f*** up my tomatoes! :laugh:

Yeah, that one site giving it a 6. Smh. I don't care if it's not your favorite genre. The game ain't no 6 by any metric.

Act three is much better than two.
 
Damn, had to peel myself off! Just started Act IV stage five (I think). This game is so damn good! Easy contender for the graphics crown too! So much awesome :D nice to see the Xbone pumping out these visuals!

thought i'll chuck on Horde Casual for an hour or so last night.. ended up going to full 50 waves and time was 1am. was only me and 2 others too, once you get level 3-4 manned turrets it becomes pretty easy (on Casual anyway)

Do stick with upgrading manned turrets? Did you buy any barricades or sentry turrets? Or any heavy weapons like boomshots or torque bows ?

1- not sure what you are asking

2- We had barricades and sentries watching our back, and one barricade down on the path to us. this was on gridlock and we had set up shop in one of the boltok towers so from the front there is only one way in (the stairs)

3- no heavies, I was a scout using the +40% damage shotgun card with the Overkill and i was running around pretty comfortably till about wave 35-40. Boss waves it was all turrets. we had a sniper and another guy running around with Overkill.

I think biggest thing was we had s*** ton of money and we upgraded our fortifications (you do this by spending money on fortifications). we had about 50k in the bank at one point, which came in very handy at wave 40 when one of the bosses destroyed 2 auto turrets, 1 manned turret, 1 shock turret and 2 barricades! and we had to rebuild alot of our defenses again

I've decided the bonus shotgun damage perk (which I've almost completely maxed) paired with the bonus health perk for the Scout class is my favorite combo for Horde at the moment. You pretty much become a tank. I've tried several other rare and epic perks, but those two common perks seem to be the best for me. Could be because I've been able to rank them up much faster than the rares and epics, but they're pretty lethal.

It takes waaaaaaaaaaaay too long to level up classes in horde though, really hope they balance that quick. I can't see myself ever getting to 10 with even one class before i stop playing if they keep it at this rate.

Yeah. That's what I'm looking to use as well for my account load out. But I'm only level 1 at the moment. And yeah that level of time it's taking to even get to scout level 2 is ridiculous. I'm not even half way there yet.

Unfortunately you’re not the first to voice your disappointment about how long it will take to unlock things. Customization/skill unlockables are supposed to encourage more playing not the idea of digging into your pocket to shell out more loot. I hope this is addressed soon.

Anyway, I played through the Prologue and I already want to play it again. Gunplay was silky smooth as usual but the graphics are very clean and detailed with splashes of color all over the place. Using previous epic Gear of War moments as a tutorial was a stroke of genius.

I’m going to try and complete the campaign before diving into Horde. But I don’t know if I’ll be able to wait that long.

I'm glad you enjoyed the prologue as well. The graphics get even better, you'll see!

For real. How many games have awesome single player, co-op, and multiplayer? Not that many. Loving the new weapons and executions for multiplayer. Slamming someone's face into the ground 10x when playing as Swarm is so satisfying. :grin:

I'm on Act 3. I flew through Act 2, I hope Act 3 is longer. I haven't even touched the multiplayer yet.

Much longer. Better too! I loved every second except for one particular spot. Let's just say that co-op ramps the difficulty. My brother dropped in and we died and died. Passed it on the first try after he got frustrated and left, lol!
 
Fuk it. Bought it. Downloading it. Watching Tarzan while it I download it...Taking forever. Should be able to play this time next week. So exciting...

Has there been a discussion in this thread about the microtransactions? What do you guys think about them in this game?
Click to expand...
its pretty bad

getting the elite pack through playing takes way too long, its all made to make you spend money. imo Halo 5 did it fairly but Gears 4 is clearly made to force spending if you arent very patient and wang customisation options

but if you dont care about customization its pretty well balanced for getting bounties etc

I have no problem with micro transactions as long as they don't give a competitive edge, which they don't in this game. My problem with them in Gears is that it takes 1000 points for an Operations pack and that takes a time to build up. You should earn credits a bit faster. Other than that, yeah I think this is the best Horde mode they've ever released in a Gears game.

Ended up buying this game to play on PC. Haven't played since the first so nice that it comes with the entire collection. I'll have to find the time to play through them before this. Horde mode will hold me over well until then.
 
Was not crazy about act 1, not loving fighting robots and it's to damn bright. Then act 2 started and it seems to be getting a little better for me...

MP is smooth and a lot of fun.

I haven't tried horde yet

Elite picks are the only ones I want and they take way to long to get. And $5 for one, lol yeah ok. Not crazy about the characters and don't love the look of any of them this time around to be honest so no big deal for me I guess but I do like having a few different gun skins.

Using the Enforcer against shotgun rushers is awesome. Pretty worthless otherwise but amazing in its role.
 
I finished the game last night on hardcore and loved it. It was the perfect difficultly. Just a great game! I'm looking forward to future releases.

I liked fighting all the new enemies. I hope they still keep the Dee Bees in the game. I like fighting the robots and maybe next time they can get really creative with the designs. Maybe insecticon robots or something like that. (I'm a big G1 Transformers fan.)

Now I'll move on to playing some horde when time allows. Really happy with my purchase.
