Oh dam.
90+!!!! All else is trash.Less than stellar would be like sub 70
What do you define as "must have"
Why hope for such a thing, especially if it ultimately doesn't matter? I assume you're buying BL3 regardless?
Score keeps getting better since the last time I checked, at this rate it might get close to 90.
This thread is embarassing though, PS fanboys acting like idiots just because the game didn't crack 90 and XB fanboys feeling insecure trying to downplay PS exclusives and accusing critics of being biased.
Where do you live. It's 9pm EDT in America. If you set your location to New Zealand you can get the game pass version unlocked at 5am edt
I'm in Central, so 8PM? and the NZ thing, does that work on xbox and pc?Where do you live. It's 9pm EDT in America. If you set your location to New Zealand you can get the game pass version unlocked at 5am edt
How? I thought it comes out next week
Yes and Yes. You change your location either on the xbox or on your windows system in the settings. You can just change it back the next day.I'm in Central, so 8PM? and the NZ thing, does that work on xbox and pc?
Pretty great reviews. But gotta say, I'm a little bummed it's not higher. I thought this was an opportunity to have a GOTY candidate from Xbox. But it doesn't look like it's quite that good.
Awesome, thanks. Looking forward to playing this with my wifeYes and Yes. You change your location either on the xbox or on your windows system in the settings. You can just change it back the next day.
I guess it could be. If Gears 5 wins GOTY at TGA 2019, I will change my profile pic to...something Gears related. I just really don't see it happening.
because my plastic box is better than your plastic box.86 is like the absolute best I ever expected a Geow to score in this day and age.
It's a legit great Metascore, not sure what people expected or why this thread is so big.
Well maybe one day you will learn how to form your own opinions instead of judging everything based on the opinions of others.

Too many reviews in at this point to hit 90. 88 at best, 84 at worst. Awesome scores.
I'm guessing it will appear on some nomination lists but not win.I guess it could be. If Gears 5 wins GOTY at TGA 2019, I will change my profile pic to...something Gears related. I just really don't see it happening.
TGA is just one award. There are basically 300 more awards available.I guess it could be. If Gears 5 wins GOTY at TGA 2019, I will change my profile pic to...something Gears related. I just really don't see it happening.
That line probably sounded smarter in your head. We have reviews for a good reason lol
Well it's very unlikely, those 62 reviews would need to avg 92% for it to get to 90
It seems some are doing the responsible thing and waiting to do multiplayer first before giving the game a score because some journalists are lazy to play it.
StrawmanHow many people in here have actually said the MC is "shit" or is that just another strawman?
Disappointing that so many reviewers almost completely ignored multiplayer. IMO Gears is all about multiplayer, singleplayer is just the side dish.
You can guarantee the reviews wouldn't be missing multiplayer if it was broken. Seems really unfair that all the different competitive and coop modes are not included in so many reviews.
Wait, they're reviewing only the Campaign? That can't be right.
I haven't read all this thread and others may have pointed this out, but....
86 Metacritic (Gears 5) = shit.
87 Metacritic (Spiderman) = amazing
I think that's the gist of it......
Tbf I've seen a ton of "86 is a great score, calm down you fanboys!" posts
And almost no one saying 86 is a bad score
That tends to happen in every review thread though. Tons of posts bemoaning how everyone is freaking out, while no one is freaking out.
I haven't seen it mentioned, but I wonder if the weather system is dynamic during skiffing or is it based on progression?
Dont have time to read reviews or whole thread. How long is this game? Did they fucked up pacing of the ending in this one as well? I swear i expected like another 3 hour after last mission in gears 4, was really surprised when credits hit.
Also, are the open areas just big asss empty bud beatiful open worlds areas or are they rich on content? I cant really imagine exploring in gears like new gow or lets say mass effecr andromeda.
Where the story falls apart, and where Gears 5 has its biggest miss, is in the ending. A new "big bad" is introduced over the course of the game. A key character is eliminated from the story. And just as you think you're building to a reckoning...the game ends. Much like Gears of War 2, it's a sudden ending, and it has the same unfinished vibe as the end of "The Matrix Reloaded" or "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug." In fact, the final, game ending boss fight is just a rehash of the Act III boss fight.
The ending of most act 2's out of 3 will generally feel this way, I'm not worried. I wasn't expecting everything to be sorted/answered.Your tracks in the snow/sand appear to be dynamic. The weather is fixed as far as I can tell.
Took me about 12.5 hours to complete campaign.
As for the ending...

Which is why the "in-progress" style reviews are appropriate for a game like this.
