Gears 5 |OT| "That's FIVE, motherfuckers!"
- Thread starter Dyashen
- Start date
You're an eensy bit screwed. Only workaround I've found is to start a new file at Act 3, Chapter 3. Game seems to remember which components and collectibles you found
We have all of October and November to do these medals. No need to grind yet! Just take it slow.
Yeah I'm not interested in all the medal unlocks. There's just a few that I'm really focusing on but I do want to get through the Tour of Duty since there are some unlocks at the end that I want. Did the double star weekend also apply to medals or just daily objectives?
Finished the campaign and...
was surprised at how abruptly it ended. Felt like there wasn't a real culmination - I get that it's the middle entry in a series but it felt pretty incomplete. The monster boss they introduced was pretty lame and uninspired. Wondering how the JD/Del decision will play out in the next game...
Not too bad despite that. A couple more of those weekends and I'll be cruising through it.
Thank for reply. If it remembers that stuff then it's not so bad.
really surprised how buggy this game is and there doesn't seem to be many patches addressing them

It was extremely buggy. I had to restart checkpoints 4-5 times throughout to get certain things to trigger. Game-breaking stuff like a lift not triggering in Act 3, Baird not giving an upgrade for Jack, Del being stuck in the ground... tons of stuff like that.
FWIW you can decrease difficulty whenever you want. Or increase. I'm sticking mostly to experienced but switched to Intermediate for one fight due to the One Kill B.S.
Yeah, I'd bump that down to Experienced. Experienced gave me enough challenge running solo, mostly because of the number of random grenade/dropshot spam that becomes abundant later in the campaign. Also the AI is useless in picking you up when you're downed in many circumstances -- the game is really just not made to be played on Insane solo. Or if it is, I would expect it to be a really frustrating experience.
The amount of bugs and glitches have me shocked that they STILL haven't patched much of anything in 3 damn weeks. If this was any other series it would be raked over the coals for how bad the launch was but its Gears so who cares right? "It looks pretty!"
I can understand the feeling. I love ranked but i'm a hyper competitive dude and Gears fulfills that in a way very few games have but this game left me really wanting and just bored.

My Gears 5 Campaign Co-op Bug Experience:
- Got stuck in Jack upgrade menu, could not exit until co-op partner reloaded checkpoint
- My game paused because host went into menu, did not unpause for me when host unpaused
- Fell through geometry several times
- Audio didn't play in Act 2, was fixed with restart
- Audio didn't play in act 4 (except UI noises), could not fix by restarting, so I played Act 4 Chapter 1 without audio before it fixed itself for Chapter 2.
- Didn't unlock 3 achievements that my co-op partner received including the one for beating the final chapter
- Mission in Act 3 (maybe 2) would not complete and the marker stayed on screen and in my objective list until beating the act
- Only the player playing as Kait sees her flashes, good thing I was speaking with my co-op partner so we could share what was happening.
- I played as Jack for the final act (for the achievement for beating an act as them...which didn't unlock), spent a lot of time not being able to do anything because I was tethered too far from enemies or on the truck.
I'm surprised it was so buggy but I'm more surprised how slowly they seem to be addressing things
I had issues with the Coalition made maps in 4. They were all very bland and e-sport focused, no iconic design like Mansion, Jacinto, Canals or Fuel Depot.
It was very apparent that the Epic map designers were gone
mentioned on the dev stream that they are rolling a bunch of fixes into a bigger patch set for early October.
So uh, I bought a Chips Ahoy package to get the DLC codes... I ate 10 cookies and it's like crack. I'm seeing double.
I'm going to throw the rest away.

Can Jack only buy weapons lockers in Horde? If I try to buy a barrier it gives me a weapon locker. Its driving me crazy!
I believe it's just weapon lockers and forges. It showing barrier is a display bug. Also happens to other characters too.
Edit: Here's a cheat sheet showing who can buy what.
Must be bugged cause I can't purchase a forge right now.I believe it's just weapon lockers and forges. It showing barrier is a display bug. Also happens to other characters too.

So I always heard Horde was awesome but oh wow it starts off so slow that I wasn't really digging it, it reminded me of COD zombies, great fun when it's all happening but the build up is SOOOOO long.
I remember not being able to buy a forge at first with Jack too. I thought it might be something where you had to like "upgrade" the fabricator by buying a weapons locker first or something, but when I played solo earlier today I saw a weapons locker and forge in wave 1 before I bought anything. It's... weird.

I fucking hate this.
This is what Rod thinks of everybody that is critical of them.
How dare we not blindly love and follow everything they do.
Also this is a big deal
Bullets literally auto aim to you at a certain distance in every mode but escalation or execution.

Yeah it's pretty bad.
Really noticeable on kill cam snipers that are no where near the head.

TC did an amazing job with this game. Taking my sweet time playing through the campaign and I'm amazed... It's probably my best Gears campaign so far. Good job.
Take it there is no way to skip the intro movie on the UWP version is there? Bit annoying when you just wanna fire the game up for a quick arcade match.
Games really should make it as quick as possible to boot up to get into MP, remember when CoD on consoles let you select what mode to boot up into? Pretty sure it skipped videos when you selected MP (or at least, you could skip them yourself).

There might be a way figured out sooner or later. I think it's Win32 and not a UWP app.
I'd check here periodically to see if anyone found a way. This kind of thing seems to get listed as a "fix" pretty commonly on pcgamingwiki pages.
For this very reason, I just jump into or create matches a round 20 or so
I just completed Gears 3 (best in the series for me) in preparation for Gears 5. Already on the first part of Gears 5 campaign and im amazed at how big the jump is (expected). But whats taken me by surprise though is scale of the story and the quality of these levels. The world is full of detail and activity, paths dont look like obvious corridors, again im not criticising Gears 3, its almost a 10yr old game but Coalition have really progressed the franchise, game exudes quality through and through, cant wait to move forward.
Kill Cams are generally not accurate and anything that uses them as proof is not useful.
Yeah. Stumbled upon a vid on official forums
Hopefully some good changes in today's update. I really hope they stop putting me on US or whatever servers in ranked... 90-130+ ping is just not fair to anyone.
I truly, truly, truly hate sires with a passion. Especially in Escape when you have a team that wants to bullrush to the safehouse and disregard the one guy (me) who gets nabbed by a sire jumping from around a corner.
I just don't like how durable they are. I think they are pretty easy to dodge, they just take way too much to kill.
I feel like if you can pull out a Matriarch barb you should be able to QTE out of the sire's grasp as well. And you're right that dodging them is pretty easy once you learn their lunge limit, but they can be difficult to spot in more intense situations.
Finally had a chance to sit down and finish the game last night. I absolutely loved it - a good, compelling story and some nice bits of fan service. I am a HUGE fan of this series, mostly because I've been dialed into all the books and comics. While the comics aren't necessary, the books are divine. Karen Traviss (who ended up writing the story for Gears 3) really wove an incredible story throughout her books. The new book, Ascendance, was also very good.
But being a huge fan of Gears and the lore, I was shocked at
I will say, though, the end of Act 1 when
But being a huge fan of Gears and the lore, I was shocked at
the choice to save JD or Del. This has a huge impact on the future storylines of Gears, and I really didn't like that they left this as an audience choice. Is there a canon ending? I saved JD - I thought it made the most sense for future storytelling, but I'd hate to find out that I made the "wrong" choice. If they decide not to address who survives until Gears 6 spins up, that also means that there won't be additional books to add into the storyline and bridge the games.
I will say, though, the end of Act 1 when
the Hammer of Dawn goes haywire was QUINTESSENTIAL Gears. I should have expected it, and I didn't, and it was incredible. I love how this series gives its characters wins, and then immediately spoils their victory.
