Official Thread Gears 4 **NO SPOILERS**

Finished. Can't say that I will jump on Gears 5 when it comes out. Time to move to finish up Horizon Zero Dawn.
 
I am on Act IV right now. Not sure what to think right now. Either I have outgrown Gears, or was Gears always this cheesy and "Army of Two" feeling? I would be hard pressed to buy Gears 5 unless they make some changes. I highly doubt they will change the formula since they made this game from the ground up.

Seriously, an entire act chasing down Marcus stuck inside of the belly of some snatch????

Was always like that. I think that's how Gears got the whole dudebro moniker. It's cheesy and over the top.
 
yeah i just finished it on normal with randoms, ranked up sooooooooooo much lol i think 4x bonus xp is on so that factored into it i think
 
Not only that. It feels so much better in campaign. Played some last night and was blown away at how smooth it is.
 
My xbone has kinda been acting up, not reading discs sometimes & what not, thinking about getting the X if my tax money'll cover it....
 
Played a few multiplayer matches yesterday. It was enjoyable enough, but didn't grab me like it like it did last gen. The few maps I played were rather forgettable...and I hate the playlist set up. Just let me pick my game mode for god sake.

Visually average. Sound wasn't great either.

Not sure how much playtime it will get, but will certainly be nowhere near what 1, 2 and 3 got.
 
Haven't played in a few weeks or so, but the gameplay is still there. One thing I'll ask MS/Coalition/343/etc. to do is to stop splitting the playlists communities between Player/Ranked.

Escalation is fun but would prefer to just play Execution(Team Execution would be a great new addition to MP).

Honestly just mindshare isn't there right now and not sure why.

Visually it is pretty good on the X and the Atmos Surround is great.
 
visuals and sound not great? ok atleast now i know to not take your opinion on these things in the future :grin:
 
On another forum, someone mentioned Gears of War 4 was dead and they couldn't find a single match. I figured I would check it out and see if that was my result. I checked the most popular playlists this morning, and I couldn't find a single match, a single person. NADA. Yet they have official Gears 4 tournaments? And yet, when I looked at Twitch at the same time I was looking for matchmaking, there were 14 people broadcasting matches.

WTF?
 
I never have trouble finding matches. But I only play KOTH.

But I do always get matches against Mexicans and I'm US East. Maybe the low population is the reason why.

Gears 4 is on Game Pass, right? You'd think there would be a few people playing.

I'm finally starting this game myself (single player).
 
well i never had problem playing quick match in gears 4

ranked is ruined by quitters so i dont even bother unless in a full team and i havent done that in ages so maybe thats where population is lacking

I guess matchmaking is most likely f***ed when we were trying it. They will probably fix it. I mean like I said, people were Twitching matches.

Yeah there might be issues. I got kicked out of my own single player game once yesterday. :)
