Not even that. But in 3, we could grind for multiple skins and characters at once just by playing the game like normal with the odd kills with a certain weapon. Whereas in 5, at launch, we could only grind for 1 character at a time using that stupid totem system
@@NoobWonderWaffle Yes, leveling up gave you some feeling of achievement and exclusivity in past gears ganes. When you reached level 100 in gears 2 you felt badass. You could also unlock characters as you leveled up. Gears 5 levels make no sense and gives you no sense of accomplishment. Gears 4 had cases that you could unlock, which was more interactive and fun compared to gears 5 credit system. When you re-uped in older games you were also actually rewarded with cool staff rather than the nonm-memorable shit that gears 5 gives you.
@@gearsghoul4500 so quick question when it comes to gameplay and gun play I hear that Gears 5 is worse in terms of the Gnasher or just gunplay in general . I hear that Gears 2/3 are better I watched a few videos and can’t tell the difference I should get an Xbox to try it myself, it feels like the lancer is pretty good on the older games compared to the one in Gears 5
@@NoobWonderWaffle gears 5 is very new player friendly. There is a ton of aim assist in gears 5 compared to other gears. It is also easier to wallbounce in gears 5. I do like how smooth the gameplay on gears 5 is. Each gears has it own unique style so its hard to compare, but I do prefer the lower input lag and smoothness of gears 5. I think its worth getting an Xbox to play the campaigns. they are legendary....much better than gears 5
literally bro, that's like half the story. I remember one part where JD's like "you should see a doctor" and kaits like "I'm fine" and I said outloud coulda fucking fooled me, bitch!
As someone who played the tech test and thought the game wasn't very good then, I found it very confusing when many esports players/coaches said it felt like the best title in the franchise. I didn't purchase the game on launch and shelfed the franchise as a whole. Fast forward 6 months later, everyone is hating on the game and thinks it's terrible - with the exception of some of the highest performing pros (possibly due to performance). Give me Gow2 movement and guns. Give me Gow3/J medals. Give me progressive character unlocks. Give me new maps - bringing classics are lazy in my opinion. Give me Gears of War.
Agreed. The tech test was awful. Pretty much killed the excitement I had for the game. I still played it at launch, but after only a couple weeks I was done with it.
It’s funny how people used to shit on GoW 2 for having slow movement/an inaccurate gnasher. I’d take that any day over the spastic gameplay and pace of Gears 5.
The slow pace of Gears 2 was awesome. It felt more tactical and methodical. The squad was more important too. In modern Gears there are just lone wolves bouncing around like crazies at 300 miles per hour.
@aaronjordan7729 bro I'm a gears 3 og, Ik it happens in all of them. I'm saying g5 is the ONLY one where shi**ers do it and win. Ain't no way ur pushing me and I hit u with actives
Given its returning to the old horror aesthetic of the og trilogy hopefully it's gonna bring back older mechanics and an actual story...stil forever mad they made me choose to either send marcus spiraling into a loop of self hatred by offing his last remaining family.member or kill del who is like a Dom 2.0
That's what sucked for me, Gears 4 and 5 requires online connection to play all other modes besides campaign which is odd seeing as bots are a thing. I know it's not a big deal for some people but given my shotty internet connection, I'm never going to be able to enjoy the other modes like I did when playing Gears of War 2.
At least on xbox I figured out if you use host Lan multi-player lobby you can fight bots offline. When you don't got internet and your a gamer nowadays you find ways
I will never get why they decided not to include the different types of Cog soldiers from Gears 4 like The Medic, V day gear, E day gear, and the NCOG marine.
Legit the only reason I played Gears 5 at all was to play co-op campaign, which actually was hella fun and hilarious only because we spent the whole time trolling each other, the story is random AF. Got masters in every playlist on KBM and controller in less than 3 months, did it again when they changed to leaderboards and just got nothing out of it; shit is soulless. Horde is passable but most of the maps suck and only a few classes are actually fun. Escape is chalked. They stuffed 800 goddamn microtransactions in the store and just milked this shit for all it's worth, giving nothing of substance back for it. I can count on two hands the number of actually cool skins, which i wouldn't mind paying the 2.50/5.00 USD or whatever they want to charge.
@@dreadlocsamurai4241 It just makes no sense for anything besides esports bundles; make skins rewards for actually doing some cool stuff in the video game I already paid for.
Crazy part is they used to have an arcade mode in the multiplayer where it wasn’t only gnasher and power weapons and assault rifles were actually valuable. They removed the mode entirely from the game and I stopped playing.
My thing is that the marketing had people believe that Kait was going to fall to her Locust heritage and take up the mantle of the next Queen Myrrah, with JD and Del being the next Marcus and Dom. Instead, we got Myrrah back (in the dumbest way possible) and the having it where JD or Del being killed. Hell, Kait got her blood removed in two arcs.
Yeah i think it should've been this. Queen Myrrah returning through Kait, Kait tries to fight her but is overcome by Myrrah. JD and Del should've been the ones to search for answers to help Kait, and when there was a small opportunity to save kait, that would be gone once she.... (God forbidden) Marcus. JD and Marcus may see eye to eye but he doesn't hate his father. So when Kait or at this point Myrrah kills Marcus. JD just wants to killed Myrrah for killing his dad
the fact this game hasn't been touched for three years, matched with the fact they didn't even have actual gameplay of e-day, makes you wonder, what the heck have these employees been doing? i guess enjoying all the money we sent from micro transactions
1. 99%, 98%, 88%, etc. just take that out. 2. mic'd up stacks vs mic'less solo queues. make two modes, a solo queue mode, and a teams mode. this game is absolutely frustrating for amateur players like me who are never going to make this a game night with buddies. stop trying to make this mario party and force me to find friends to play.
You are 100% correct. The Gears 5 campaign was terrible. I also did not like Gears 5 Horde compared to previous Horde versions. My favorite Horde was in Gears 4 which I still play today.
@@KlekoMleko I like how Gears 4 Horde had specific roles for each player. For example, the role of the scout was to collect energy, the engineer was to deploy fences/turrets, and so on. In higher difficulties of Horde (Insane and Inconceivable) this encourages team work. This is lacking in Gears 5 and makes it less fun for me. Leveling up your character in Gears 4 Horde was straightforward too. There was no need to change this for Gears 5.
I for whatever reason don't remember gears 4 that well. Just mainly gears 3 checkout king of the hills match's and gears 2 50 waves of horde. But I think the gears 5 horde is actually the best thing in the game but maybe a little too complex for no reason that it kind of turns people off
The problem with PvP is there is no sense of causal play. You have to put the most amount of effort into doing tedious tasks the whole time your playing. Arma made me just quit playing crossplay games and racing on Forza a shit, what’s the point in trying to have a good time when you have to play like the finals in a chess match. Shits wack in my opinion.
Best gears 5 vid of all time. You said it all. Game is way too easy there’s literal time in playing and I think why is everyone a fucking GOD at this game or times where I KNOW you his guy missed his shot and it still hit me. The bot walking is also the best I ever seen in a gears game . And customization wise this game really makes you appreciate gears 3 more. The good ol days. I also think gears 4 comp shotty is way better than gears 5 shotty
i remember there was something called arcade mode in gears and it was aimed at newer players who didn't want to play the normal pvp experience and I enjoyed it because i was not a big fan of the crazy movement shotgun battle gamemodes, when i came back it was gone and i was like welp. even casuals who did not enjoy the traditional pvp had something for them in pvp.
One other thing I hated when 5 launched was the grind for characters. We could only grind for 1 character at a time using those tokems or whatever they were called. At least in the older games, we could work on unlocking multiple characters/weapon skins all at once by just playing the game. Also they did have a map creator for Escape at launch. But I believe they got rid of it because people were making the smallest maps possible to help farm Escape objectives for the ToD and xp
Gears 4 was the best when it comes to competitive gaming in gears and rewards. The diamond cog character for getting 3 masters was a good start and then they didn’t even bring that back. SMH. So dumb
Nick, I am really hoping that with your relationship with the Pro Circuit and having been around this game so long and keeping the content coming, that someone from The Coalition will watch this video and seriously take notes as they build Gears of War E-Day,
The gib range on the Gnasher is also absolutely atrocious in Gears 5, you can literally shoot someone in kissing range and the shot will say 84%. I also hate how aiming with the Gnasher in Gears 5 is pretty much pointless since the pellets don’t even hit the guy, I don’t understand why they made the pellets spread out while aiming.
Nah..most of his complaints are just PERSONAL issues. not general issues that I agree with. I Do agree however that focusing on Kate was DUMB. And making her uglier cuz of WOKE NONSENSE was DUMB. And i wish they made new charatcers. But most of this dudes complaints sounds like a girl
Gears has always had a problem with pve maps blending with multiplayer. Why can’t the devs just make 10 solid pvp maps and 4 dedicated horde maps for tower defense. Like we really had a dev excited about making a map like pahanu ffs
I’ve also been a die hard fan since GOW 1. I literally bought the ultimate edition for 5 and have never been more disappointed. I want to be excited for E day but it’s hard for me to get pumped for this series anymore. I hope they go back to the old style of like meaty characters and put some environmental presence in the maps like the hail map or avalanche
I appreciate you sharing your honest thoughts about this game. One section of your video that caught my eye were the different mechanics that you listed off (knife lunging, slide distance, air back A’ing). I know this video showcased some of these, like the cover sliding at 0:06. If you have the time, may you please make a video that focuses on visually demonstrating all of the mechanics that you listed? I’ll also take a look at your latest video of you air back A’ing someone through a wall - 22:13 Thank you for the enjoyable and informational content, Icy! Edit: I was able to find a handful of videos replicating maneuvers like wrap shotting, backwards sliding, and knife manipulation.
Ofc this comment isn’t a video like you asked. But the knife lunging is problematic because a) the range, b) the ease of use. Let’s play a scenario. You’re the better player. You’re playing good gears. We are in a strafe fight. You’re smart and holding your shot for chunk range. I just get into that range and as you’re about to shoot. I press B, lunge at you. It makes you miss your shot due to the animation you make, and before you recover from that animation, I can already shoot again. Thus hitting my shot and killing you. That’s the problem with it. Why would even try and use your brain. Or push your mechanics when I can press b. One. Button. In older gears. Yes you can melee and achieve a similar thing. But it wasnt this lunging lock on. To melee in older games it was risky. You could potentially get out bounced and you’re a sitting duck if you do it at the wrong time
Gears fan myself from the beginning, and I recently replayed all the campaigns for the first time in many years, And I definitely agree that Gears5 has the worst campaign, But Judgment’s campaign has aged really well, had a fun time with it, seemed much better than I remembered.
I don’t think the campaign was THAT bad. It lacked the charm and character of the original trilogy, but it was a big step up from 4’s campaign. The characters don’t really get any development, and there wasn’t any focus. The whole first part of 5 looks like it’s actually gonna give JD some development and it actually could of been really interesting. The whole thing of him trying to prove himself and live up to his fathers legacy, despite not really being close to him when he was growing up, and then they sideline him after act 1 and now Kait is the focus… What?… Doesn’t make any sense. Gears 5 should’ve been about father and son. Was it Anya’s passing that soured their relationship? Why did JD join the COG? What happened between Marcus and JD? There’s so much you could’ve played with to actually make a compelling story with characters having actual arcs. The whole origin of the locust thing doesn’t need to be in gears 5. Hell, you could put it at the beginning of the new E-day game as a prologue act to then lead into the Locust being born, becoming independent, growing their society, and then eventually invading to escape the lambent. Damn, man… so much wasted potential
It was a really good video! I do agree with a lot of details you cover, the costumization, story and the lack of content at launch (which is supposed to be better than the last game on its launch). For my personal view, i thought escape was a very good addition, but executed poorly. I really enjoyed the survival aspect of it and the teamwork you had to put to get out as fast as possible. I actually was playing that more than horde because horde was more of the same as gears 4 but with a lot of restrictions. But it got worse since one of some things you said happened, people were using it as an exp boost exploit and not playing the correct way, i always got into sessions where the other two guys only reach at certain point in the trail and kill themselves multiple times. (causing a lot of mistrust of players you play with because they can have a level max class but doesn’t even know how to play correctly and getting everyone killed) Then that the support for newer things for escape were cut because of changing focus constantly to multiplayer, meaning the map builder got deleted and escape got forgotten. Nowadays i only play 360 gears games since i have to pay online service to enjoy 4 or 5 (seriously, being online always and paying monthly to play horde even alone is an awful decision from TC).
I just have to say I'm one of the players that would be classed as a casual player and I have to say I do not like toxicity in alot of things and most probably players I've seen or videos/clips I've seen and then just what they say afterwards has made me feel sick and genuinely hate the majority of pro players but just seeing you talk about gears in an entirety and sharing so many points and being able to voice what I wish I could makes me so happy and I just want to say thank you for this video and I honestly hope they rewind gears of war in game and out❤❤❤. (New subscriber btw😊)
From someone who grinded gears 1 to 5. Played GBs, UMGs. The 2k weekly tournaments with gears 4 n 5. Pick ups, scrims, everything I still cannot wait for gears of war EDay. But i wont lie, gears 5 almost ruined the franchise. Kait is the worst protagonist, the multi-player is way to inconsistent 83%, bot walking is extremely annoying, to many RNG options with horde (cards) Single stick ruined comp, button mapping ruined Alt movement. To many modes. We need just control, Execution, FFA, 2v2. TDM is not a gears mode, escalation is ass. Unlocking was so bad, it didnt FEEL like we earned anything, gears 3 had the best unlock system, best medal system. The maps were okay. We need to stop having a comp n casual setting with weapons. Lancer needs to be weaker. I love this franchise to death, i have faith for gears of war EDay.
As an ex gears grinder ( I love this franchise with all of my soul ) that then switched to Valorant, the competitive aspect is so much better and it’s not even that good in the first place, but we have a map pool and everything that is rather balanced and relaunching gears 5 for ranked is absolute hell I also miss the older ranked with KOTH and all that so you’re not forced to necessarily play control ( which I dont like )
I love Gears of War but the lack of a ranked system is the sole reason why I can't play it anymore. There's simply too many games that I can invest time in learning, training and progressing with feedback of how I'm doing. I can't justify putting time into gears when it doesn't have that
Gears 4 was bad and gears 5 is just dogshit, by the end of gears 4 it was honestly decent fun game to log into and slay out and jam and felt more involved because they listened to us so much as much as they fkd up doing new random stuff.
8:02 TC seems to just not care about Leaderboards at all. Some of my friends invested many hours into competing for #1 Escape score runs. Then a glitch was discovered on PC, where you can use 3rd party apps to lag and then pick up infinite cog tags. It requires no skill but they get 10x better scores than those who actually worked for it, so they dominate the #1 spots with absurd times. There's also all the versus stats, that for some reason count Co-Op vs AI. So the worst PvP players in my friends list that only play that for Daily objectives have way better stats than the PvP sweats. Nice video, lots of good points I really hope TC listens to. Keep up the good work! ❤
I agree gears 5 cover feels nonexistent sometimes and I’m almost forced to play a defaulternate with paddles to be able to compete with the wall bouncing and 90 percent of the time I’m killed by wrapshots and back a’s it’s not even fun
Gears 3’s progression/ reward system was great. Having to go back and complete GOW1 & GOW2’s campaign on certain difficulties to get certain skins.. The entire medal system in order to get certain unlocks and having to actually GRIND to get the things you wanted and not just being handed to you or being able to buy them. Before horizon became a thing, It was perfect.
Gears of War 5 multiplayer was only “okay”. But I do agree it’s bs you can unlock any character just because you have points. In gears 3 I worked my ass of to get Prescott and yet you can easily get him in this game. Also the story mode is dog shit. I normally completely every campaign from every game but this? No..
Amazing vid, crazy that haven't updated it at all, and for real they need to bring back the beast mode or something. The servers are also gross, I stopped playing this game because of that. Thank you for being the voice!
the map creator did exist but it was at the very beginning with basic tiles and enemy spawns if i remember correctly the reason they stopped supporting it was because they wanted to pump out maps faster this was before Rod Ferguson left the coalition i believe
Back in 2019-2021 if you wrote your opinion on the gears of war forums about the game the mod would just delete it in mass and ban you no matter how right you were, also the Devs calling the community crybabies because gears 5 in release was abysmal and people didn't like it
I love the horde mode a lot, I play on pc so I can’t get my classic horde fix anymore. Can’t wait until E-Day. I love when Marcus says “Another dead grub”
Gears 4 is the peak of the series! The movement in the game is by far the best Gears 5 movement was way to much in terms of being able to walk bounce from ridiculous angles and distance Also just gears 4 was much more close distance game where you had to be up close to really get those gnasher kills
Seeing 99% in 1 consistently was what felt bad about it. Yeah im a scrub who barely understands the move tech in the game, but if i gnash a guy for 99% and get one shot because he shoots me at the exact same time and gets that extra 1% on his shot for whatever reason, im gonna be mad about it.
What really bothers me is that they have the models for E-Day gears and V-Day gears in the files (you see them in the Horde skill cards and as dead body props) but they didn't port them in.
Superb video and I absolutely agree with everything you have said! Just know that there are people who think like you from across the pond. Can only pray that they don’t fuck up E-Day. I’ve said it for years now, this is the worst gears game of all time.
Ranked does have the reward for top 1000 players at the end of each season. One of my biggest gripes though is how long it takes to kill a downed enemy
@@Aeroflauge gears 3 did too it was just faster. Really judgement wall bouncing sucked because of the change in mechanics. Wall bouncing is a gears staple.
Gears 5 story wasn’t the issue for me honestly, it was everything else. I brought the delux version of the game, but there was nothing extra at launch…except boost
Tbh feels to me like escapes a first draft of a mode n they just stuffed it in as is instead of spending like a year or two fleshing it out. It COULD have potential if they build it up in gears 5s inevitable sequel by going back to the horror-esque origins, gore, strategy etc of the old gears, but its waaaaaaay too linear rn
I never touched Gears 4 or 5 not because of the content, but because, I just don't see the need to play them. Gears 3 was already the ending to the series, so having the Swarm feels like an emergency "keep franchise alive" button. Judgement wasn't great but at least it didn't meddle with what already happened because it was a prequel. honestly, they should've ported 2 and 3 to PC.
Not to mention they took out the grandmasters gnasher in szn 9. Like wtf are they doing??? I literally earned 10 million points in szn 10 just to realize I can't get it. I swear the coalition devs are slow asf. It's like they think it's funny
Agreed with pretty much everything but I think the mechanics are pretty solid as far as movement goes love that fast paced play and out maneuvering opponents
and escalation was super competitive and fun, but we hated only playing just a small handful of maps. Whoever is making these decisions really needs to stop.
Never was a huge gears fan I played 1-3 very casually. It’s crazy to hear that all these games from our childhoods suck now. I don’t understand why nobody can make a good Halo, gears, cod etc… what’s is going on???
I mean people didn't come back because they got rolled on in the multiplayer by the veterans of this game lol. They played against bots one game thought they were good. Then just got molly whooped by a decent/good players.
I haven't touched gears 5 since i got the character scarred JD and when the game got an optimized version for the series consoles. But to this day, i haven't played gears 5. I agree with the challenge base unlocks, and I've said this in another video. I'd rather earn characters/weapon skins than buy them from the store. Like if i wanna play as an onyx guard in the next gears of war title, I'll just have to earn them by beating the campaign on insane difficulty. If i want to get their weapon skins, I'll grind for onyx medals like gears of war 3 did. Its just sad that the franchise was put in the back burner for awhile leaving the fans in the dark
Bruh, things can be said about EVERY GAME that comes out. Almost the ENTIRE GEARS 1 community said Gears 2 was trash when it came out and that it was fucking unplayable. Just because you were a child and Gears 2 is YOUR nostalgia game doesn’t mean that wasn’t the public opinion at that time. The only thing that “killed” Gears 5 is there wasn’t a new generation of kids playing it to make it “Their Nostalgia” like you and the other little kids did with Gears 2 and Gears 3; the little kids of the Gears 5 era were playing Fortnite, who ironically was made by the same company who made Gears in the first place. Gears is just for millennials, it’s an old man game with an aging player base, if the legacy players bash it cause it’s not “nostalgic enough” for them it will just die every time.
Aaron griffin, savage hunter, savage marauder. Gears 3 had some amazing customizations and characters. I loved the gold versions of the characters as well. Gears 5 is great and i dont care for campaigns in general. There's things about it that are offsetting but overall i like it. Gears 3 was my favorite, it was very gritty, dark, and fast paced.
From someone that only plays Horde and Escape on Gears 5 with a team...the game is fun. I never cared too much for the PVP but I can see how that affected so many players.
once they stopped doing seasons and the battle pass switched to only iron and gears coins, i said to myself, once i reach the last re-up, which i felt was the only thing to play for, i'll stop playing and that happened about a year ago and i haven't played since
I’ve not played Gears 5 but the fact they don’t have a ranking system is crazy to me. Like you say there is literally no reason to play the game. Ridiculous that is.
I could never get Gears 5 multiplayer to work. Disconnected every match so i just went back to Gears 4. I didnt bother playing 5's campaign after seeing gameplay footage, realizing it didnt look like Gears.
the ranking system was horrific the minute they took it out besides scratching that itch to play here and there’s no point of actually playing it. this was the one gears i actually did not pay for
fr bro, playing rank is only for glory. theres nothing for newcomers. and to me i play to win and get disappointed when my team are full of casuals or bots who wanna shoot things and not play obj. so no one truly is happy because it all funnels down to find a group to play with or sacrifice sanity for the nostalgia
I've never gotten annoyed when you've gone off on tirades in some of your videos because I know it comes from a place of passion. Sometimes you gotta let it out, the disappointment is heavy and its not just the game play. I appreciate this vid bro I just hope the devs understand the gravity of delivering to this fan base with E-Day
People have to understand it’s not The devs fault we live in a different world today..almost every game is failing today due to The procedure they have to follow to make these games they’re only listening to their bosses.
Great video man! I also feel that story games (that have a multiplayer) tend to be really bland and boring multiplayer content, at least with most modern games.
My only problem was the lack of maps in Versus & MAKING us play crossplay. Just give us every map created. Why take away the option to toggle off crossplay? Because PC players didn’t have enough of a player pool to play with? Now look how things are.. it’s about 50/50 now. Everything was fair before they took away the option. The shit I see PC players do is mind blowing man… from movement, to trigger speed, to frame rates.

You can't even play the horde mode without internet connection
That's what sucked for me, Gears 4 and 5 requires online connection to play all other modes besides campaign which is odd seeing as bots are a thing. I know it's not a big deal for some people but given my shotty internet connection, I'm never going to be able to enjoy the other modes like I did when playing Gears of War 2.
At least on xbox I figured out if you use host Lan multi-player lobby you can fight bots offline. When you don't got internet and your a gamer nowadays you find ways
I will never get why they decided not to include the different types of Cog soldiers from Gears 4 like The Medic, V day gear, E day gear, and the NCOG marine.
especially when some of the cards for the combat medic literally have the VDay gear on em
Legit the only reason I played Gears 5 at all was to play co-op campaign, which actually was hella fun and hilarious only because we spent the whole time trolling each other, the story is random AF. Got masters in every playlist on KBM and controller in less than 3 months, did it again when they changed to leaderboards and just got nothing out of it; shit is soulless. Horde is passable but most of the maps suck and only a few classes are actually fun. Escape is chalked. They stuffed 800 goddamn microtransactions in the store and just milked this shit for all it's worth, giving nothing of substance back for it. I can count on two hands the number of actually cool skins, which i wouldn't mind paying the 2.50/5.00 USD or whatever they want to charge.
The micro transactions aren’t even bad tho
@@dreadlocsamurai4241 It just makes no sense for anything besides esports bundles; make skins rewards for actually doing some cool stuff in the video game I already paid for.
Gears of War 2 multiplayer was legendary along with Gear of War 3 multiplayer that I played a few.
Crazy part is they used to have an arcade mode in the multiplayer where it wasn’t only gnasher and power weapons and assault rifles were actually valuable. They removed the mode entirely from the game and I stopped playing.
My thing is that the marketing had people believe that Kait was going to fall to her Locust heritage and take up the mantle of the next Queen Myrrah, with JD and Del being the next Marcus and Dom. Instead, we got Myrrah back (in the dumbest way possible) and the having it where JD or Del being killed. Hell, Kait got her blood removed in two arcs.
Yeah i think it should've been this. Queen Myrrah returning through Kait, Kait tries to fight her but is overcome by Myrrah. JD and Del should've been the ones to search for answers to help Kait, and when there was a small opportunity to save kait, that would be gone once she.... (God forbidden) Marcus. JD and Marcus may see eye to eye but he doesn't hate his father. So when Kait or at this point Myrrah kills Marcus. JD just wants to killed Myrrah for killing his dad
honestly, microsoft has to get rid of the coalition. it's the only way this game can be fixed.
the fact this game hasn't been touched for three years, matched with the fact they didn't even have actual gameplay of e-day, makes you wonder, what the heck have these employees been doing? i guess enjoying all the money we sent from micro transactions
E-day has this thing called a teaser trailer not gameplay we’ll see gameplay near the end of the year or the beginning of next year chill out.
@@Nixon_47 Watch your blood pressure son
Completely fine not having gameplay of e-day yet, the cinematic was fantastic
1000% percent agree. People scoff when I say this game is too fast. Gears is a cover shooter, it SHOULD be slower and methodical, Gears =/= CoD.
Amen.
Saying that and wanting a strong rifle are grounds to turn in your cog tags 😂 jk
No its bro gears and cod is nothing alike bro
It seemed fine to me
Gears 5 feels to slow to me . Gears 4 feels smoother
1. 99%, 98%, 88%, etc. just take that out. 2. mic'd up stacks vs mic'less solo queues. make two modes, a solo queue mode, and a teams mode. this game is absolutely frustrating for amateur players like me who are never going to make this a game night with buddies. stop trying to make this mario party and force me to find friends to play.
You are 100% correct. The Gears 5 campaign was terrible. I also did not like Gears 5 Horde compared to previous Horde versions. My favorite Horde was in Gears 4 which I still play today.
But gears 4 horde had bi enemy variety. Gears 5 horde does almost everything better than gears 4 horde.
@@KlekoMleko I like how Gears 4 Horde had specific roles for each player. For example, the role of the scout was to collect energy, the engineer was to deploy fences/turrets, and so on. In higher difficulties of Horde (Insane and Inconceivable) this encourages team work. This is lacking in Gears 5 and makes it less fun for me. Leveling up your character in Gears 4 Horde was straightforward too. There was no need to change this for Gears 5.
I for whatever reason don't remember gears 4 that well. Just mainly gears 3 checkout king of the hills match's and gears 2 50 waves of horde. But I think the gears 5 horde is actually the best thing in the game but maybe a little too complex for no reason that it kind of turns people off
Gears 5 horde mode is wayy better than
The problem with PvP is there is no sense of causal play. You have to put the most amount of effort into doing tedious tasks the whole time your playing. Arma made me just quit playing crossplay games and racing on Forza a shit, what’s the point in trying to have a good time when you have to play like the finals in a chess match. Shits wack in my opinion.
Facts man. Most of the time I already know when I die to a pc player. It’s the most wildest shit… like yupp he’s on pc lol
Best gears 5 vid of all time. You said it all. Game is way too easy there’s literal time in playing and I think why is everyone a fucking GOD at this game or times where I KNOW you his guy missed his shot and it still hit me. The bot walking is also the best I ever seen in a gears game . And customization wise this game really makes you appreciate gears 3 more. The good ol days. I also think gears 4 comp shotty is way better than gears 5 shotty
i remember there was something called arcade mode in gears and it was aimed at newer players who didn't want to play the normal pvp experience and I enjoyed it because i was not a big fan of the crazy movement shotgun battle gamemodes, when i came back it was gone and i was like welp. even casuals who did not enjoy the traditional pvp had something for them in pvp.
Damn… they did take that out huh 😭
I'm a die hard Gears fan and I love this, I really don't see why everyone hates it..
Idk why but gears 4 feels smoother to play and 5 feels sluggish
I love how a point blank gnasher shot will deal 83% damage so what do they do? They make a bloodspray out of it
Gears story mode peaked in 2 and gameplay/multiplayer peaked in 3
One other thing I hated when 5 launched was the grind for characters. We could only grind for 1 character at a time using those tokems or whatever they were called. At least in the older games, we could work on unlocking multiple characters/weapon skins all at once by just playing the game. Also they did have a map creator for Escape at launch. But I believe they got rid of it because people were making the smallest maps possible to help farm Escape objectives for the ToD and xp
Gears 4 was the best when it comes to competitive gaming in gears and rewards. The diamond cog character for getting 3 masters was a good start and then they didn’t even bring that back. SMH. So dumb
Nick, I am really hoping that with your relationship with the Pro Circuit and having been around this game so long and keeping the content coming, that someone from The Coalition will watch this video and seriously take notes as they build Gears of War E-Day,
Gears eday is basically done development bro, not sure if they will pay attention to this might be too late
The gib range on the Gnasher is also absolutely atrocious in Gears 5, you can literally shoot someone in kissing range and the shot will say 84%. I also hate how aiming with the Gnasher in Gears 5 is pretty much pointless since the pellets don’t even hit the guy, I don’t understand why they made the pellets spread out while aiming.
Nah..most of his complaints are just PERSONAL issues. not general issues that I agree with. I Do agree however that focusing on Kate was DUMB. And making her uglier cuz of WOKE NONSENSE was DUMB. And i wish they made new charatcers. But most of this dudes complaints sounds like a girl
Gears has always had a problem with pve maps blending with multiplayer. Why can’t the devs just make 10 solid pvp maps and 4 dedicated horde maps for tower defense. Like we really had a dev excited about making a map like pahanu ffs
I remember when they were dropping 1 like ever week 😭 then BOOM shit just stopped!
I’ve also been a die hard fan since GOW 1. I literally bought the ultimate edition for 5 and have never been more disappointed. I want to be excited for E day but it’s hard for me to get pumped for this series anymore. I hope they go back to the old style of like meaty characters and put some environmental presence in the maps like the hail map or avalanche
I appreciate you sharing your honest thoughts about this game.
One section of your video that caught my eye were the different mechanics that you listed off (knife lunging, slide distance, air back A’ing).
I know this video showcased some of these, like the cover sliding at 0:06. If you have the time, may you please make a video that focuses on visually demonstrating all of the mechanics that you listed?
I’ll also take a look at your latest video of you air back A’ing someone through a wall - 22:13
Thank you for the enjoyable and informational content, Icy!
Edit: I was able to find a handful of videos replicating maneuvers like wrap shotting, backwards sliding, and knife manipulation.
Ofc this comment isn’t a video like you asked. But the knife lunging is problematic because a) the range, b) the ease of use. Let’s play a scenario. You’re the better player. You’re playing good gears. We are in a strafe fight. You’re smart and holding your shot for chunk range. I just get into that range and as you’re about to shoot. I press B, lunge at you. It makes you miss your shot due to the animation you make, and before you recover from that animation, I can already shoot again. Thus hitting my shot and killing you. That’s the problem with it. Why would even try and use your brain. Or push your mechanics when I can press b. One. Button.
In older gears. Yes you can melee and achieve a similar thing. But it wasnt this lunging lock on. To melee in older games it was risky. You could potentially get out bounced and you’re a sitting duck if you do it at the wrong time
u cant air back A anymore they took it out lmaoo, the back A icy does is a back A from og games like 1/UE
@@citiestoash Your explanation makes sense and I can more easily imagine how knife lunging can be frustrating in Gears. Thanks man!
Gears fan myself from the beginning, and I recently replayed all the campaigns for the first time in many years, And I definitely agree that Gears5 has the worst campaign, But Judgment’s campaign has aged really well, had a fun time with it, seemed much better than I remembered.
I don’t think the campaign was THAT bad. It lacked the charm and character of the original trilogy, but it was a big step up from 4’s campaign. The characters don’t really get any development, and there wasn’t any focus. The whole first part of 5 looks like it’s actually gonna give JD some development and it actually could of been really interesting. The whole thing of him trying to prove himself and live up to his fathers legacy, despite not really being close to him when he was growing up, and then they sideline him after act 1 and now Kait is the focus… What?…
Doesn’t make any sense. Gears 5 should’ve been about father and son. Was it Anya’s passing that soured their relationship? Why did JD join the COG? What happened between Marcus and JD? There’s so much you could’ve played with to actually make a compelling story with characters having actual arcs. The whole origin of the locust thing doesn’t need to be in gears 5. Hell, you could put it at the beginning of the new E-day game as a prologue act to then lead into the Locust being born, becoming independent, growing their society, and then eventually invading to escape the lambent. Damn, man… so much wasted potential
I honestly thought I was the only one that felt the way you do. I feel like a noob team of devs made this game.
It was a really good video! I do agree with a lot of details you cover, the costumization, story and the lack of content at launch (which is supposed to be better than the last game on its launch).
For my personal view, i thought escape was a very good addition, but executed poorly. I really enjoyed the survival aspect of it and the teamwork you had to put to get out as fast as possible. I actually was playing that more than horde because horde was more of the same as gears 4 but with a lot of restrictions. But it got worse since one of some things you said happened, people were using it as an exp boost exploit and not playing the correct way, i always got into sessions where the other two guys only reach at certain point in the trail and kill themselves multiple times. (causing a lot of mistrust of players you play with because they can have a level max class but doesn’t even know how to play correctly and getting everyone killed)
Then that the support for newer things for escape were cut because of changing focus constantly to multiplayer, meaning the map builder got deleted and escape got forgotten.
Nowadays i only play 360 gears games since i have to pay online service to enjoy 4 or 5 (seriously, being online always and paying monthly to play horde even alone is an awful decision from TC).
I just have to say I'm one of the players that would be classed as a casual player and I have to say I do not like toxicity in alot of things and most probably players I've seen or videos/clips I've seen and then just what they say afterwards has made me feel sick and genuinely hate the majority of pro players but just seeing you talk about gears in an entirety and sharing so many points and being able to voice what I wish I could makes me so happy and I just want to say thank you for this video and I honestly hope they rewind gears of war in game and out❤❤❤. (New subscriber btw😊)
I’m with you on all of that🙏
From someone who grinded gears 1 to 5.
Played GBs, UMGs.
The 2k weekly tournaments with gears 4 n 5.
Pick ups, scrims, everything
I still cannot wait for gears of war EDay.
But i wont lie, gears 5 almost ruined the franchise.
Kait is the worst protagonist, the multi-player is way to inconsistent
83%, bot walking is extremely annoying, to many RNG options with horde (cards)
Single stick ruined comp, button mapping ruined Alt movement.
To many modes.
We need just control, Execution, FFA, 2v2.
TDM is not a gears mode, escalation is ass.
Unlocking was so bad, it didnt FEEL like we earned anything, gears 3 had the best unlock system, best medal system.
The maps were okay.
We need to stop having a comp n casual setting with weapons.
Lancer needs to be weaker.
I love this franchise to death, i have faith for gears of war EDay.
As an ex gears grinder ( I love this franchise with all of my soul ) that then switched to Valorant, the competitive aspect is so much better and it’s not even that good in the first place, but we have a map pool and everything that is rather balanced and relaunching gears 5 for ranked is absolute hell
I also miss the older ranked with KOTH and all that so you’re not forced to necessarily play control ( which I dont like )
I love Gears of War but the lack of a ranked system is the sole reason why I can't play it anymore. There's simply too many games that I can invest time in learning, training and progressing with feedback of how I'm doing. I can't justify putting time into gears when it doesn't have that
The blood imago skin reminds me of a boneless buffalo chicken wing
Gears 4 was bad and gears 5 is just dogshit, by the end of gears 4 it was honestly decent fun game to log into and slay out and jam and felt more involved because they listened to us so much as much as they fkd up doing new random stuff.
Loot boxes + fomo made GoW4, shit. Then there were $10 each, esports lootboxes, which completely put me off. M$ sucks HARD.
Not at all
8:02 TC seems to just not care about Leaderboards at all. Some of my friends invested many hours into competing for #1 Escape score runs. Then a glitch was discovered on PC, where you can use 3rd party apps to lag and then pick up infinite cog tags. It requires no skill but they get 10x better scores than those who actually worked for it, so they dominate the #1 spots with absurd times.
There's also all the versus stats, that for some reason count Co-Op vs AI. So the worst PvP players in my friends list that only play that for Daily objectives have way better stats than the PvP sweats.
Nice video, lots of good points I really hope TC listens to. Keep up the good work! ❤
I agree gears 5 cover feels nonexistent sometimes and I’m almost forced to play a defaulternate with paddles to be able to compete with the wall bouncing and 90 percent of the time I’m killed by wrapshots and back a’s it’s not even fun
Gears 3 was the peak of the series sad to see its finna die out hopefully they didnt fuck up E-day
Gears 3’s progression/ reward system was great.
Having to go back and complete GOW1 & GOW2’s campaign on certain difficulties to get certain skins..
The entire medal system in order to get certain unlocks and having to actually GRIND to get the things you wanted and not just being handed to you or being able to buy them.
Before horizon became a thing, It was perfect.
The gameplay is amazing. One the best looking games even today. But we need better modes. Gimme all classic maps on whatever mode I choose.
Facts
Gears of War 5 multiplayer was only “okay”. But I do agree it’s bs you can unlock any character just because you have points. In gears 3 I worked my ass of to get Prescott and yet you can easily get him in this game. Also the story mode is dog shit. I normally completely every campaign from every game but this? No..
Your tripping story mode was awesome
Amazing vid, crazy that haven't updated it at all, and for real they need to bring back the beast mode or something. The servers are also gross, I stopped playing this game because of that. Thank you for being the voice!
the map creator did exist but it was at the very beginning with basic tiles and enemy spawns if i remember correctly the reason they stopped supporting it was because they wanted to pump out maps faster this was before Rod Ferguson left the coalition i believe
I’m a former Diamond,Onyx & Masters player I stopped playing gears 5 2021..I really don’t like how they abandoned the game
I mean the campaign isn't terrible in my opinion but the og three will always solo
Facts
Back in 2019-2021 if you wrote your opinion on the gears of war forums about the game the mod would just delete it in mass and ban you no matter how right you were, also the Devs calling the community crybabies because gears 5 in release was abysmal and people didn't like it
I love the horde mode a lot, I play on pc so I can’t get my classic horde fix anymore. Can’t wait until E-Day. I love when Marcus says “Another dead grub”
Gears 4 is the peak of the series! The movement in the game is by far the best
Gears 5 movement was way to much in terms of being able to walk bounce from ridiculous angles and distance
Also just gears 4 was much more close distance game where you had to be up close to really get those gnasher kills
Seeing 99% in 1 consistently was what felt bad about it. Yeah im a scrub who barely understands the move tech in the game, but if i gnash a guy for 99% and get one shot because he shoots me at the exact same time and gets that extra 1% on his shot for whatever reason, im gonna be mad about it.
The removal of ranked was the worst change I have ever seen in a game. It killed the game for me and my entire friend group
What really bothers me is that they have the models for E-Day gears and V-Day gears in the files (you see them in the Horde skill cards and as dead body props) but they didn't port them in.
Gears 3 was essentially the bar they needed to hit, but they have consistently been missing it for years. It’s wild
Superb video and I absolutely agree with everything you have said! Just know that there are people who think like you from across the pond. Can only pray that they don’t fuck up E-Day. I’ve said it for years now, this is the worst gears game of all time.
Ranked does have the reward for top 1000 players at the end of each season.
One of my biggest gripes though is how long it takes to kill a downed enemy
Dude even a longshot on a dbno doesnt kill.......
@@GianCarloMassage yes it’s ridiculous. That happened to me the other day and I was pretty heated lol
Those trash ass weapon skins xp and coins. I’d honestly rather just rock no weapon skin at all instead those. I mean shoot there’s barely a difference
Was a diehard Gears fan, when the wall-bouncing started I was out.
this, gears 2 was the only one that did it right
@@Aeroflauge gears 3 did too it was just faster. Really judgement wall bouncing sucked because of the change in mechanics. Wall bouncing is a gears staple.
So gears 1? lol
So youve been playing the same game since 06?
More like the up and back A's
Gears 5 story wasn’t the issue for me honestly, it was everything else. I brought the delux version of the game, but there was nothing extra at launch…except boost
Tbh feels to me like escapes a first draft of a mode n they just stuffed it in as is instead of spending like a year or two fleshing it out. It COULD have potential if they build it up in gears 5s inevitable sequel by going back to the horror-esque origins, gore, strategy etc of the old gears, but its waaaaaaay too linear rn
I felt simply betrayed because I paid $80 to pre-order that game and in a month later it’s free on game pass.
It was free since day one
I never touched Gears 4 or 5 not because of the content,
but because, I just don't see the need to play them.
Gears 3 was already the ending to the series, so having the Swarm feels like an emergency "keep franchise alive" button.
Judgement wasn't great but at least it didn't meddle with what already happened because it was a prequel.
honestly, they should've ported 2 and 3 to PC.
Not to mention they took out the grandmasters gnasher in szn 9. Like wtf are they doing??? I literally earned 10 million points in szn 10 just to realize I can't get it. I swear the coalition devs are slow asf. It's like they think it's funny
Agreed with pretty much everything but I think the mechanics are pretty solid as far as movement goes love that fast paced play and out maneuvering opponents
Loved seeing how you started and how far you’ve come!!! You’re the Best of the best!! Always have been!
and escalation was super competitive and fun, but we hated only playing just a small handful of maps. Whoever is making these decisions really needs to stop.
Overrun was over hated and was actually super different and fun
Never was a huge gears fan I played 1-3 very casually. It’s crazy to hear that all these games from our childhoods suck now. I don’t understand why nobody can make a good Halo, gears, cod etc… what’s is going on???
The community needed a video like this i swear, thank you Nick. Your voice is ours
Gears of war 2 remastered would be legendary
Gears 5 is the worst gears game I’ve ever played
The multiplayer is garbage , movement is terrible
Everything about the game sucks
easiest gears ever. makes casual players feel good when they bot walk you
I mean people didn't come back because they got rolled on in the multiplayer by the veterans of this game lol. They played against bots one game thought they were good. Then just got molly whooped by a decent/good players.
honestly they just need to hire some of the die hard gears fans to run this game.
Hell no yall will ruin it
I haven't touched gears 5 since i got the character scarred JD and when the game got an optimized version for the series consoles. But to this day, i haven't played gears 5.
I agree with the challenge base unlocks, and I've said this in another video. I'd rather earn characters/weapon skins than buy them from the store. Like if i wanna play as an onyx guard in the next gears of war title, I'll just have to earn them by beating the campaign on insane difficulty. If i want to get their weapon skins, I'll grind for onyx medals like gears of war 3 did.
Its just sad that the franchise was put in the back burner for awhile leaving the fans in the dark
Bruh, things can be said about EVERY GAME that comes out. Almost the ENTIRE GEARS 1 community said Gears 2 was trash when it came out and that it was fucking unplayable. Just because you were a child and Gears 2 is YOUR nostalgia game doesn’t mean that wasn’t the public opinion at that time. The only thing that “killed” Gears 5 is there wasn’t a new generation of kids playing it to make it “Their Nostalgia” like you and the other little kids did with Gears 2 and Gears 3; the little kids of the Gears 5 era were playing Fortnite, who ironically was made by the same company who made Gears in the first place. Gears is just for millennials, it’s an old man game with an aging player base, if the legacy players bash it cause it’s not “nostalgic enough” for them it will just die every time.
I tapped out halfway through Gears 4 campaign, should I go back and finish it?
Aaron griffin, savage hunter, savage marauder. Gears 3 had some amazing customizations and characters. I loved the gold versions of the characters as well. Gears 5 is great and i dont care for campaigns in general. There's things about it that are offsetting but overall i like it. Gears 3 was my favorite, it was very gritty, dark, and fast paced.
From someone that only plays Horde and Escape on Gears 5 with a team...the game is fun. I never cared too much for the PVP but I can see how that affected so many players.
once they stopped doing seasons and the battle pass switched to only iron and gears coins, i said to myself, once i reach the last re-up, which i felt was the only thing to play for, i'll stop playing and that happened about a year ago and i haven't played since
I’ve not played Gears 5 but the fact they don’t have a ranking system is crazy to me. Like you say there is literally no reason to play the game. Ridiculous that is.
I really hope that Gears of War E-Day will be more similar to the og Gears 1-2 (maybe a mix between the two).
I could never get Gears 5 multiplayer to work. Disconnected every match so i just went back to Gears 4. I didnt bother playing 5's campaign after seeing gameplay footage, realizing it didnt look like Gears.
I miss Gears 3 i was addicted to that game wish I could go back in time
I haven't played any new gears since G4, but I still really only fw G3 despite the difficulty finding a game these days.
been playing gears since 06/07. and i'm so glad other people feel the same way about the current state of gears.
the ranking system was horrific the minute they took it out besides scratching that itch to play here and there’s no point of actually playing it. this was the one gears i actually did not pay for
fr bro, playing rank is only for glory. theres nothing for newcomers. and to me i play to win and get disappointed when my team are full of casuals or bots who wanna shoot things and not play obj. so no one truly is happy because it all funnels down to find a group to play with or sacrifice sanity for the nostalgia
love the documentary like video in the intro, all the points you established are 100% true, you always keep it real, hope your day is good as always!
I've never gotten annoyed when you've gone off on tirades in some of your videos because I know it comes from a place of passion. Sometimes you gotta let it out, the disappointment is heavy and its not just the game play. I appreciate this vid bro
I just hope the devs understand the gravity of delivering to this fan base with E-Day
People have to understand it’s not The devs fault we live in a different world today..almost every game is failing today due to The procedure they have to follow to make these games they’re only listening to their bosses.
Great video man! I also feel that story games (that have a multiplayer) tend to be really bland and boring multiplayer content, at least with most modern games.
Does anyone know why gears 3 skins aren't in 5 and 4?
My only problem was the lack of maps in Versus & MAKING us play crossplay. Just give us every map created. Why take away the option to toggle off crossplay? Because PC players didn’t have enough of a player pool to play with? Now look how things are.. it’s about 50/50 now. Everything was fair before they took away the option. The shit I see PC players do is mind blowing man… from movement, to trigger speed, to frame rates.
