It is.
It is.
Yes it is
apparently you can Meatshield an enemy when yanking them over cover in Versus. not the same but it's a cool transition then never happened in Gears 4Melee twice, and hold melee again when hitting your second strike. I think only works in pve.
Yes, it is! She voiced over 700 lines, same with the Battista character that is coming.
Oh, cool.
So where the heck is Lena at? I can't find where she is supposed to be.
Recap of Gears 4 video is part of opening cinematic, can't miss it. Shows you everything you need to know. Also there is a summary of original trilogy in Extras menu.Sure it's been asked a bunch but do I have to play gears 4 to understand the story in this one? Played act 1 and never went back to it.
I dont think so theres a pretty good previously on gears video that plays when you start the campaign which explains all the major stuffSure it's been asked a bunch but do I have to play gears 4 to understand the story in this one? Played act 1 and never went back to it.

Very cool. I think I'll start with 4 and see how I like it. If it's not clicking I'll just watch a video and jump into 5.I don't think that there's many people who didn't like 4's campaign, it was just unremarkable. There were some great bits in it, and some bad bits as well, but overall it was just good, and it felt too safe to anyone already well acquainted with Gears. To someone who hasn't played a Gears game before, 4 could be a good starting-off point, and the story of 5 is a direct continuation.
Of course, I would also recommend playing the older games, as they're still great and a lot of fun, but that can wait. Gears 4, then 5 is what I think would work best for newcomers, although 5 can also be played on its own if you watch the two videos found under Extras. Gears 5 contains many cool touches for long time fans of the series, however.
man just like gears 4 the campaign becomes a bit of a slog in the middle and then abruptly ends
I always felt the Gears 4 slogged to begin with, and then ramped up to the abrupt ending.
Agreed 100%. I was stoked to fight a new enemy but found the section focusing on Deebees a bit of a slog. I was shocked that the game was over after beating what i thought was a sub-boss. Still, enjoyed myself.I always felt the Gears 4 slogged to begin with, and then ramped up to the abrupt ending.
Ok now I'm going to have to un-politely disagree with this opinion. I mean I like ice bound but asylum and ESPECIALLY exhibit shit on it tbh. Each their own ig, kinda curious why you love icebound so much?It drives me nuts when people pick Asylum over Icebound. Asylum is literally a terrible map. The only worse map is Exhibit.
Sorry if this has already been asked, there's a lot of thread to read, but in Escape on the menu what does the "Skills x/y" bit mean?
My Hive one says 8/30 and my past hive ones are all out of 15 but the number seems to change every time I log in.
If there were more things like act 1 whilst having sections like act 2 and 3 (haven't even reached 3 so idk the rest) I'd be all for that tbh. Make it open world when it needs to be, I felt like act 2 was good breather from act 1 and I liked all the lore stuff that was there, but man the opening of the game was straight high octane Michael bay mayhem... which is exactly what I expect from gears. To bad critics don't see it that way. They c an only love the linear parts ONLY if it's paired with the more open areas because.... because that's the cool thing nowadays I guess? Either way I still liked it, but in all honesty all it was is a wait time to get to the next chess match/war zone/gears combat that I love so much, which is appreciated but it also like, ok, thanks I guess? Ya know what I mean? Wasn't that necessary, cool to have but not necessary.I mean Gears 4 was rather pedestrian but at the end of the day it's still has the Gears foundation with really production values. It's not like there are that many high end linear shooters to play these days in the first place.
Honestly, I was looking forward to fighting new enemies. I never had a problem with the concept of fighting deebees, the problem is they're boring to fight.maybe not being immediately thrown into the basic locust hordes colored my perception of the start
Can the campaign be played in 3 player coop or is it just 2? PC version.Sorry if this has been asked before (OP didn't mention it) but apparently, for the PC version, there is no splitscreen for Horde and Escape modes?
Is there any chance this would get patched in later on? Because that is some honest-to-god bullshit, I was planning on playing this with my SO, and while I'd still enjoy the campaign, Horde was a lot of fun too and it really makes me want to wait for a price drop...
You get skill cards as a reward for completing the hive. On higher difficulties you can unlock better skill cards (rare, exotic, etc). When choosing difficulty, there is icon on the left, showing what type of card you can unlock.
Hm, got a game breaking bug... for some reason Jack is missing one of his abilities (the first one, Pulse), and now on act 2 you need to use it to progress... any idea?

So escape is literally just getting out ASAP right? With limited resources and all that?
Can someone link me a video explaining escape?
