Gears Of War Tactics

Has there been any word on the Xbone version? I've never really played this type of game but one set in a universe I know & enjoy is makin' me wanna dip my toes in those waters...

First, stop saying Xbone (it triggers me :laugh: ). Second, it IS coming to Xbox - perhaps sometime this year. Lastly, check out Mutant Year Zero (you have to play through the first two levels to really "get it") - it's an RTS like Gears Tactics.

Could be a title the announced in July. Cross generational with Xbox One and Series X

Well now I just wanna say xbone way more often and in response to you even in threads I wouldn't have otherwise commented on :tounge:

Also mutant year zero doesn't meet the conditions I mentioned about taking place in an established universe I'm interested in. I thought that game / world looked kinda dumb, hahaha...

What's wrong with XBone? XBone always comes before XBSeX...
 
Gears Tactics is a really solid game bogged down by one significant, but easily fixable flaw. Those f***ing required side missions. So boring and repetitive. Eventually those are what took me out of the game. If they tweak the requirement of those, it will be a much better game. That filler hurts it a lot. Otherwise Gears Tactics has a really good foundation and has potential to rival Xcom down the road once they flesh out the strategy layer between missions.

Agrreed. Those side missions need to be optional. There was more side mission content than Main campaign missions in my estimation. Alot of useless grinding. But as you said it lays a great foundation for the next game in the series.
 
!! Looking forward to checking this out. Not normally my type of game but I wanna give this one a shot...

A few of us called this way back that it was going to be a Series X launch title.
 
I was attempting to move some things around between my internal and external hard drives in preparation for tomorrow, accidentally clicked on this and the game started up. Appears to be 100% playable now on X1X.

"Accidentally"....
 
Gears Tactics is a solid game, beautifully rendered. It has a bit of padding but its otherwise pretty good. I hope to see a sequel the same way that Halo Wars seems to be its own franchise now.

What do you mean by padding?
 
Will be giving this game a try either tonight or over the weekend, whenever I Feel i have enough time to dedicate to giving it a decent look.

Been playing this since I got the X yesterday. Very early in, but seems to be really good. I'm only playing on intermediate but I've had a couple near wipes already.
