Gears 5 to have the largest campaign in series history

Truth, and it's not like Gears 4 really assuaged my doubts about them being able to freshen the series up. Shit got real old, real fast. What saved it was playing with a friend that I don't get to see often, and just goofing around. The scenarios themselves were pretty rote for the most part.
Completely earned, warranted concern =/= concern trolling. "Now you can ride a skiff through a beautiful but empty map to get to the same copy paste combat arena against fucking robots for the 45th time" isn't really a selling point.
Signs show its going to be kinda like an open-world.
I hope we see big epic battles with many enemies though, I loved that grand scale feeling about Gears of War 2.

Love how everything is considered trolling these days my god people. Again the scepticism is warranted for reasons other people listed in this thread as well
?!
This comment is weird coming from you, unless it's sarcasm (you will never know lol)

I don't care how long it is, I just want it to be a lot better than 4's campaign which was pretty disappointing. The Horde sections being stuck in there probably make me think less fondly of it than I would if they weren't there but still... it wasn't great even then. I know they wanted to bring it back into a smaller, slower game with elements of horror like the first Gears but I don't think it worked out too well.
Either way, not long until we get to play it and find out!

I just dont see how its warranted because people didnt like the trailer they showed at E3. Everyone was raving about the previous trailer from the other e3, not this one, saying the campaign looks amazing. Now we're acting like the campaign is in shambles because they haven't showed anything since even though they said multiple times when they'd show it. You are making something out of nothing, like just stop lmao
Nah, it's concern trolling. They've shown some campaign which looked amazing and they've shown a ton of MP which also looks amazing. The Coalition have also yet to put out a bad game. There's no warranted concern.
Sorry but it's not concern trolling when you plan to show your campaign a few days before the game comes out. None of these developers get the benefit of the doubt anymore.
Curious to see the reviews. I thought 4 was a soulless romp with terrible characters so i'm interested in knowing whether they managed to revitalize the franchise.
I honestly don't get the concern here but I'm also a bit biased because of Game Pass. I just can't bring myself to be "worried" about the campaign of a game I'll have access to as part of a subscription I already have. I don't wait for reviews of Netflix shows that pique my interest, I just start watching them.
With that, I'm rooting for it to be an A+ experience that starts a new marketing trend for Microsoft.

I recently played Gears 1 UE and thought it was very generic, boring, and not fun to play. The story wasn't that memorable either. Should I retire this series, or should I give some of the other games a go?
The amount of bitching in this thread is insane. My God people, they released campaign footage last year, go watch it. More will come in September. Move on with your lives.
What I've seen so far looks great, campaign and multiplayer. I was never a big fan of the "tunnel shooter" gameplay in previous gears, so if this semi-open world with exploration rewarded is true, it will be a huge improvement to me.

User Warned - Continued Thread Derailment & Concern Trolling
Correcr because we saw smalllll amounts of clips
And again because MS track record this gen with not talking about their games and not showing them off havent turned out well for them
Meant to play with a buddy. Co-op used to be so amazing back in the day. If I'm not mistaken you can even chainsaw the same target together! Absolutely carnage. Or we just competed together who could chainsaw certain enemies faster.
Because it's been so bad that I don't know if this game will sell well at all. The game comes out in 2 months and I don't know anything. If it's a huge surprise and the reason they've basically not marketed the game well is to surprise everyone then sure it works. But I don't know if that's the case.
It's not out until September though so they have plenty of time to fill you in. The VS beta starts tomorrow. And most importantly it's on gamepass. Do you have Gamepass?
I love me Gears campaign but it has to have quality to match. I liked Doom 2016 but I felt it dragged on a bit too long. A longer Gears campaign would be great but only if it can keep me engaged and keep the combat from being reptitive like Acts 1and 2 in Gears 4 were. If they can replicate Acts 3-5 for 10-15 hours then it may be the best shooter campaign I've played this gen (current champ for me is Titanfall 2)
If you didn't enjoy the core gameplay you probably won't enjoy the rest.
If you did enjoy it, I'd say give Gears 5 a shot (if the reviews are good).
Try being positive and enjoying life more. It will be good for you. :)

Nobody is saying the campaign is shambles, they're complaining about being disappointed we've not been shown more of the campaign, and also that they're not showing more till only a week before release. That is a valid complaint and also a credible point of concern. It is strange we've only seen 20 seconds of campaign gameplay for such a tentpole title that is merely a month or two from release, especially when it is counter to how 99.9% of games are marketed, including previous Gears titles.
At the end of the day, show is better than tell. All companies give off bigger and better spiel, we just need to see it now, to know if the campaign lives up to some of the marketing promises, and to see how good it looks, else all we have is marketing talk, 20 seconds of spliced campaign footage and a cutscene to form an opinion on it, which isn't a lot.

Holy shit this thread summed up by the first 10 replies. Salty as hell from the usual suspects in xbox threads.
Looking forward to mp weekend then 5 modes to play through on release.

Remember all that amazing pre release footage from GTA5 and RDR2? Me neither. We don't "need" to see a dam thing....especially when 24 hours from now we can play the dam game.
I can kinda tolerate the gameplay. Are any of the sequels less gray? I was expecting the game to look better (yes, I know it's a 360 game that was updated, but still...), but the gray-ness of everything became old very quickly
Im looking forward to it, I think its coming at a great time where something like Gears 5 is needed, at least for me. My interest in games has been decreasing for the first time in my life, and this has me excited.
I'm hopeful that the mystery about the campaign is because of something awesome that they don't want spoiled
People mad over marketing campaigns dahell lol? It'll be nice to see campaign but I ain't losing sleep over something that will be revealed in a little over a month
I'll be more than happy with a 12 hour campaign. I'm beginning to really hate games which you have to sink more than 20-30 hours into to get the ending. There are more things in my life than just gaming.
Looking forward to this! Excellent main character and I've enjoyed every single previous Gears games and expect this to be no different.
