    Good times working our way through all the Horde achievements. Even Seriously 2.0 wasn’t so bad.
    He's not a man. He's the holy Half-Dead who has seen the Underverse and returned with powers you can't imagine.

    I just checked and they never bothered to fix the game breaking bug that doesn't allow you to progress in the campaign. I'm still stuck in the same room for 5 years and can't get out, because you can't send a robot in a vent to unlock a door to progress. Never playing another Gears game ever again.
    Which Gears was that???
    Ah thanks for the info!!

    Sorry for making fun of you but I genuinely imagined this as you being stuck in a room and it was so funny to me.

    Gow 1, 2, and 3 are the best. I can’t remember the reviewer on 2 about the gray, chest high walls but it was perfect laugh

    Unfortunately I haven’t been able to play 2 in years because of some MP bug, it crashes on the start up screen no matter what I do. But I do still play 3, beast, horde, and some mp rock

    Gears 5 was fucking great. You are smoking crack if you think otherwise or just hate playing good games. Or are brainwashed by the xBoX bAd propaganda.

    Nothing TC made was even remotely on the level of the original trilogy. Not sure how anyone could recommend 5 after the most recent Rod Fergusson interview. E-day has the potential to be great but TC have shown they cannot create a compelling story or characters. So we'll likely get another middling at best gears story that'll end up on PS as well.
    I completely agree. The Coalition butchered Gears of War story wise. What is this Rod Ferguson interview you're talking about? I'm really curious to watch it

    He explains they were waiting to see who everyone picked and pull the data to make a decision on the ending. After that article I'm pretty glad they chose not to finish that story until after some others are told and he chose to leave.

    I’m mostly opposed to playing things in chronological order. It’s so much harder to go back to old gameplay mechanics after getting used to newer ones. Plus prequels will sometimes spoil what happens in the main game. Release order is always superior

    I mean, I haven't really played the Gears 4 & 5 campaigns yet, but, "story"? "Gears of War"? Is there really something to butcher?

    I'd love a new GOOD Gears game. But it's not Epic who makes it, no Cliffy B, and no soul or passion goes into that. Will I play it? When, or rather IF I renew my Ultimate (been happy for almost a year without it now, finally playing games that I purchased and were sitting in my backlog for YEARS like excellent Disco Elysium or Planescape Torment) and it's there, then perhaps, yeah.

    Halo and Gears are still my absolute favorite games to get trashed on beer with my best friend and play split-screen with. No splitscreen? No deal for me. We'll see.
    Gotta keep moving

    Judgement is actually one of my faves. Not sure why everyone seemed to hate it.
    While I do like Judgment it was clearly made by people who weren't huge Gears fans, that's why it gets the hate.
