For those who like the Gears series and are thinking about getting it, as someone who's been heavy into it for years I decided to pick it up. Xbox has a Gamepass deal where you can get Gamepass Ultimate for 2 dollars for 2 months. With all of the games on that lineup including Gears? It was a great deal. For my background with Gears, I was a monster during the Gears 2 and Gears 3 days, didn't like Judgement, thought 4 was really cool but not amazing.
Yeah, this game is dope. Better than 4, Judgement, gameplay might be the best in the entire franchise. I'm only in Act 1 of the story and yeah this story is damn amazing. Better than the others. There's a lot of commentary about civilians and protestors, sadness towards civilians dying, every character thus far in this first act seems to have their characters fleshed out a great deal. It's not that "yeah we're some tough dudes who are all about shooting" like it used to be. They feel like actual people (sans Cole but you know who he is). It's impressive to see guys like JD go from how he was into the previous game to someone who's a bit more complex. Same with the others.
So if you're thinking about copping it, go ahead and do the Gamepass Ultimate deal and spend 2 bucks for it. It's worth that.

Gears makes me a bit bummed that I don't own an Xbox One because this game looks amazing. Also, we can't forget to mention that Batista's gonna be a playable character in the game next week after Clash of Champions.

I've only been playing campaign but it's dope. And yeah, I'm gonna bust some people with Big Dave.

Love Horde mode every game. I did the ultimate edition and have been killing things as Sarah Connor. They just gotta work on stability with servers got booted a few times. But love that if a player leaves AI replaces them and you can rejoin a game. Also no random loot boxes is cool things are earnable

But love that if a player leaves AI replaces them and you can rejoin a game. Also no random loot boxes is cool things are earnable I’ve had no luck whatsoever with online so far. Won’t even let me search for anything. Bugs-a-plenty for me during the game, with collectibles not tallying and a constant autosave stopping me from doing anything a few times... However, as somebody who really couldn’t get into 4, I haven’t been able to put 5 down all weekend - totally blows the last game out of the water IMO. As I’ve blasted my way through it already, for those that have finished... {Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}Who did you pick to save?

I downloaded it despite playing very little Gears games in the past. I'm off tomorrow so I'll probably give it a go then.

I've watched walkthroughs of this and other Gears games. I don't have an Xbox, but this is one of the games that makes me want one. I kind of wish Scarlett wasn't coming out next year or else I'd probably splurge on the system to play this.
Might have to wait, though...
