I mean it's a very good and also rather short game. And if you have game pass it's pretty much a no-brainer?
But don't expect good characters or story. Play this for the gameplay, like all Gears games.

Having a weird time with my xbox. Trying to pre load ultimate edition on my console. After multiple attempts I thought I had it. But now it's downloading the thumbnail looks like it is the standard edition and on where I've got download progress it just says Gears 5. No more info. Any idea how I can double check it's downloading the right version?
I don't know if it's essential really. I just beat it yesterday - did it in about 2 play sessions - 9 hours over a couple weekends.
You can get the whole plot and know everything in about 3 min on a wikipedia entry. 3 min or 9 hours is your real question. What time do you have in your schedule?
Gameplay is whatever... tight and polished, but a lot of the same scenarios over and over. That middle section of the game is a bit of a slog.
Ok. T hanks
I already have it installed so I think I'll play through it. Get my trigger finger ready. Lol
Go get em champ! Practice that grab and stab when you get to it in the tutorial - that thing saved my ass a few times.
Please let him play Marcus in a movie
He should play Dom, John DiMaggio deserves Marcus in a movie.
That's normal. If you installed from the ultimate edition screen your good to go. It's the same on my Xbox.
Gonna need a ton of CGI if my Google search results are even remotely accurate lol
He just needs a workout and a haircut lol
I think he's been in a few movies, but not much
What?
Lmao xD
Shouldn't that be in the preview thread?
Eh, I'm willing to at least see what it looks like and how they portray the character.
This DiMaggio isn't even on the same planet as what you would want for Marcus, however.
Good tips
- Markers: While playing solo, if you aim at an enemy and click-in the left stick, it marks them as a target. Your A.I. allies will prioritize that target, which can be useful for taking out more annoying enemies like flying Guardians.
- Higher difficulty play: The number one thing that will kill you on higher difficulties are explosives since they have no real markers. Take extra care when fighting Scions with Dropshots, Hunters with Torque Bows, or Grenadiers. Dodge rolling by tapping A can save you, but enemies will also track your movements and try to predict where you're going. Sometimes, simply running back and finding higher cover might even be safer.
- Wardens: Wardens are new enemies that dual-wield maces, and can kill you extremely quickly. They can only be hurt with headshots, but they move extremely slow. Roadie running around with A will prevent them from ever getting to you but always run at an angle. If you try to run past them, they might catch you with a ground slam.
- Stealth: Gears 5 has some rudimentary stealth mechanics, allowing you to occasionally initialize combat when the enemy is unaware of you. Enemies won't hear your footsteps or executions from behind, but being seen or shooting any type of weapon will alert the area to your presence.
- Exploration: Gears 5 has a few open-world segments that come with a few side quests, primarily for upgrading Jack's abilities, but also for finding collectibles that enhance the narrative of the game world and story. These side-quest locations are marked by large green flags, typically, so keep an eye on the horizon.
Oh please, 6'4 and it's his voice. All he needs is to grow a beard, and get in the suit.
I wonder if the Microsoft store in London is going to be doing anything on Thursday, I've got a couple of hours to kill until I get my flight back up the road on Thursday night.
People say that always when someone is announced. And then we see the result.
Rod mentioned that Kait is the Scout and something about her getting bonus power when she picks it up. it's in the Horde reveal video they put up during Gamescom
They removed those classes altogether. Now characters are the classes themselves, and every character receives the same amount of power when picking it up.
Edit: If the comment above is true, then I guess Kait does pick up more power, which I don't like but eh, not a big deal I guess. ):
Very good point. Thank you for enlightening me oh Great one. :-)
Not right now he doesnt, besides since when do people have to look like their video game counterparts? See Tomb Raider, the new Uncharted movie, and then Batman.
He has the sound, he can act, he just needs the bulk and the beard.
She doesn't pick up double power. This is her passive though:
Passive Ability: Power from nearby kills is increased by 25%.
