i swear i read a rumor about this happening before AK was supposed to come out. either way I'm not surprised by this info but wish it included Origins as well

Gears is good. Still need to try to master that new exploding reverse digger weapon thing. I'm happy you can't two piece anyone anymore, well at least not fast enough before you get killed. Lancer is slightly more overpowered, even the aiming is strong now. Snub pistol seems weaker now. Loving that 60 FPS smoothness It's also a bit more faster pace than Gears Ultimate Edition, which is good for me.

glad gears 4 is getting well received.

Looks just like the OG trilogy

Frag grenade is probably the only thing that may need a nerf. 10 feet away, detonates and you still die. I prefer the staggering effect.

Finished just cause 2.

4/5

Gameplay's way better than gta5, aside from it's lack of MP.

By gaming 10-18hr/weekly.

The more recent games I've played were pretty short.

The last 5 games I've beaten were:

just cause 2:16h

quantum break:8hr

transformers:5hr

state of decay: 30h

I prefer to have a rotation of games, rather than sticking to one game such as Destiny/Division.

Current rotation: Dark Souls 3, Just Cause 3, Battlefront, Far Cry Primal, and Tekken Tag 2.

Games I've not finished:

mgsv

fallout 4

tw3

black ops 3

I remember those days of just gaming with my boys. Work pretty much put a halt to that.

Maybe my memories of Gears is skewed, but I don't remember it always being about the shotgun only. Maybe it's just the maps, but I remember that you could use a whole host of guns to get the job done, but after playing UE and this beta, that's not the case.

The majority of my gears gaming past was with Gears 2 so maybe that played a part

It was shotgun heavy starting with the first gears because of host connection and the godly powers that came with it. If you weren't the host the lancer was unusable but with the addition of dedicated servers in two the lancer viable.

shotguns have always been a dominant weapon in gears tho. gears 3 did introduce alternatives that were effective but dudes still rolled around with shotties pretty heavy.

my boy was playing the beta last night and must have been in a real trash room:

What? 2 had crazy host advantage. don't remember lag switching? spawn and your whole team died by one dude?

lag switching was very real in 2. like really, really bad but i think they may have patched it later on to help avoid it.
i remember being on a team with 2 of us were humans and 2 were AI. this lag switcher was just walking up to us and shotgunning us... he walked to the AI and the AI obliterated him

Gears 2 actually had a terrible launch. The online was barely playable at times. It's still the GOAT for me tho

My mistake I mean gears 3 the lancer became useable . Epic Added dedicated servers near the end of gears 2 but people still figured out how to lag switch and network bridge after a few months.

i still swear to this day that they pulled the dedicated servers in gears 3 after a bit of time.

Gears 3 is so slow

They ruined the damn franchise

 

[hurley34]

I've never played through a single Gears game.  Probably played less than 30 minutes total over the series; something about the art style just doesn't appeal to me

They did, if you didn't buy the latest DLC you will only connect to P2P.
