Gears 5 |OT| "That's FIVE, motherfuckers!"
- Thread starter Dyashen
- Start date
Its not letting me link it but IGN has listed maps as of Oct 2011 (game released in Sept 2011) that there were 10 launch maps with 15 dlc maps. The first DLC didn't come out till November of that year with 3 extra maps.
Not what I've experienced. Gnasher is still way over used in ranked.
Probably why I prefer Arcade then it forces you to use different stuff.
Yeah, really disappointed in how they handle relic weapons.
Does the kills count in custom hosted games by myself? Thanks for your help
Yes, private games count as long as they're on official maps. Custom maps don't count.
I agree, they need to add some more in, I find myself bored after an hour, hell I will even take the 3 gears 4 maps dropping in the match making cycle
So I've reached what I can only assume is the boss of Act 3 on insane. It hasn't exactly been a picnic but upgrading Jack's abilities is absolutely essential. I'm enjoying the campaign regardless and it's nice seeing Judgement get some recognition in this Act, but I feel like the set pieces thus far haven't been up to the levels of prior games. The boss I'm fighting being the one sole exception so far.
Gears 4 had shades of it, but Gears 5 is the first time I've heard Marcus speak and really felt "that's Marcus Fenix" and not "that's John DiMaggio, someone give him a lozenge". That's not a dig at his performance in previous entries of the series, either; it's more that the writing in this game feels so natural and human, that it brings an air of legitimacy to the characters that wasn't present in previous games in the series.
I've been playing Gears 2 with a friend of mine, and while the level design holds up, the writing and acting absolutely does not (especially Carlos Ferro, whose wooden delivery isn't complimented at all by the awful cinematography). It improves somewhat as the story goes on, but it's not interested in telling a story as much as it is focused on creating a framework for exceptionally fun and varied combat encounters.
I played a KOTH match before and it was one of the most tense matches I've ever played, every hill was like a 10 minute struggle for capture and everyone had over 80 kills by the end of the match.
Pretty sure I was shaking when we finally won. You don't get that in other games, well I don't at least.
so uhhh.
What in the fuck is up with this "bullet magnetism" BS.
There net code needs some serious work, i am seeing people sling shotting running 1.5x speed.
had an instance in which someone teleported and I think it was the netcode correcting their placement.
Ive noticed severe magnetism on bullets so much so when two people are next to each other and if you aim at one it pulls the bullets towards the other.
seriously wtf is this shit. was none of this tested?

There will no doubt be some rebalances, but Gnasher will always be king in core Gears versus.
I'm fairly confident that the bullet magnetism is by design. I don't really see how something like this can be an accident. There's also a reason it's turned off in Escalation (and now Execution).
its off in those modes? I guess I gotta hop over to those.
Yeah, when you have the playlist highlighted there's an option to bring up a details screen (Y on controller) that tells you the settings.
I'm playing Act 3 and it looks really bad to me. Maybe it's just a matter of taste, but I'm a bit surprised how it looks, even more since Act 2 (especially Kadar) looked really great. The single-colored red sand looks almost like something from the previous gen. I get it's just an artistic choice, but still. The interior parts look good, but the outside is just strange. Anyone else thinks so, too?
awesome.
They should have locked this style of magnetism to arcade mode. cause, whew, you dont have to be exact with the sniper to pop heads with it
No, but I can tell you the HDR looks stunning on my OLED. Really great implementation and great calibration controls.
I have a QLED. Max pc settings connected to it. Fuckin mind blowing.
Quickplay and Arcade are full of literal bots ruining matches while Ranked is full of toxic assholes spoiling the fun.
I tell people I don't want to fight bots, I want to fight real players. I get told to play Ranked. I play Ranked and get stomped because bots don't prep me for fighting real players. I get told to go back to QP.
I've received more hate mail for my performance in this game than I have in literally any other game I've ever played, and I've only been playing for two weeks.
Anyway, this game's matchmaking is terrible.

Whats a supply drop? I've seen the message saying I have a supply drop but not sure what that is.
And how do I get iron to buy stuff from the store?

1. They're random drops you automatically receive after playing for a certain amount of time.
2. You buy it with real money. You can also earn a paltry amount in the Tour.
I agree, the matching with bots is too much in this game. I really love the multiplayer but that is always a negative especially if your team has more bots. There should be an option to not allow bots in tradeoff for slower matchmaking at least.
Beat the campaign.
It was pretty fun, but the constant fighting at the end became kinda tiring. However, were there ANY new enemies in this game?
I've only played 1, 4, and 5, so I am definitely a noob with this series, but I found that aspect of 5 to be highly disappointing. I fought the same shet that I fought in 4, plus there were no sequences of me being in a giant mech.
The game is perfect for Game Pass, though.

just start blocking them. after about 20 blocks you cut this down to a very low numberSo many Ranked games see me being verbally harassed or receiving shit like this after the game.
I don't want to play a game with a fanbase that, after 13 years, only got more toxic.
I have a Tour of Duty objective that says "Get 5 Ring Captures in Versus" and I just did that in one King of the Hill match but they aren't registering. Is there something special I should be doing? Also, is there a place somewhere that has a list of all the Tour of Duty daily objectives somewhere and what they mean?
My brother had this same problem last night and just ended up rerolling it. It's odd because I had 7 ring captures in versus yesterday morning and it worked fine in ranked KOTH.
That's some shit because it rolled me that objective in two my slots which means I'll have to waste today's roll and tomorrow's on it.
You can get the ring captures in 1 match of escalation easily, just by capturing the ring near your spawn at the beginning of every round.
Two buddies and I are planning to boot up the game for the first time next weekend for 3player campaign coop. However, I just found out that the 3rd player has to play as some sort of drone. Since the game's been out for a while now, what's the experience like for the player that has to be the drone? Can the players swap between playing as the drone or a person?
Anyone else seeing long wait times for matches? And not a lot of full lobbies either.
For a game that just launched there seems to be a disconnect with MS saying 3 million players and having a big online player base?

When you get into the pre-game lobby for the campaign it lets you choose which character you want to play so you can definitely switch off it'll just require you to back out to the lobby.
As far as the experience, expect to do a lot support stuff and interacting with a lot of buttons, doors, etc.
I finished the campaign around a week ago and I've been thinking about what the general consensus is on the skiff/ open area segments of the game.
I see a lot of people saying it kills the games pacing and while I see why they would say that, I personally think the skiff and bigger map actually adds a little gameplay diversity by adding exploration and side quests. Sure the world is barren (abiet gorgeous) but the map is small enough and you get around fast enough that it never felt dull to me.
For me it made the pacing better as it wasn't always point A to point B while shooting mobs like Gears has tradionally been. I do agree they could have maybe tried to make the open areas a little more interesting in terms of interaction and things to see but overall I don't think it was a detriment to the campaigns pacing.

You're on PC, right? On console it's been quick. The most I've waited is close to 2 minutes.
That sucks I think I prefer the gears 4 way of unlocking stuff, and cant believe theres no dom skin
