EDIT: Thinking of doing a WEEKLY Q&A about gears of war and other video games where I pick out questions you all ask and give my answers on them! Would you all be interested in that being a series? EDIT 2: Also as always I do read every comment I promise, but I can't always reply to them, so nevertheless thanks for the love and support you guys are breathtaking! (said like Keanu reeves) Gears 5 isn't an awful game, but what they are doing in the store and with the microtransactions is nothing but awful. If the coalition truly wants to show they are listening to fans and want this game to be as good as it can be, then why don't thy start by giving the store an overhaul. Because right now these insane store prices, combined with lazy cosmetics and little content, make Gears 5 one of the most anti-consumer games on the market, and the player data speaks for itself.

Man I can see the love you have for this game, it breaks my heart to see my favorite series going down the drain cuz of developers, they need people like you working there, you'll listen and make changes cuz you care for the game and fans. Keep up the good work bro and have a nice day :)
@Kristopher Wickline to make it more better it would be cool if they add like the locust and that for escape and horde maybe some more bosses for escape.
So, as of now, I'm pretty fed up with the coalition, as shepard has said, there getting worse, and worse, and if this comment gets enough attention, I'll scour the gears community that play the game to get statistics, like, "1 out of 10" type of statistics, on campaign, store, and other aspects of gears 5. As avid gears fan, I love the franchise to death, and many fond memories are within the games. So, the deal here is that if this comment gets enough attention, I'll try and contact shepard, and give him some more evidence.
gears 4 gameplay now is perfect, it wasn't always like that it used to be very broken. Gears 5 will most likely have the same fate where the developers feel like fixing the game years after launch
@@Dracoswizard I sent the responses to Sheppard way back when. He'll have to include the info in a video or something. Alot of it was "Gears 5 is shit because of X, Y, and Z" but, I do remember someone saying it was a good game, but that it needs time to grow and heal.
The coalition and 343 should really start proposing new games, but the problem is that their existence is only working on washed-out franchises and ruining them in the process, halo 5 and gears 5 are perfect examples, almost twin like, gears 4 halo 4 were ok games that started to divide the fanbase , gears 5 and halo 5 were massive bombs that destroyed the fanbase completely. Microsoft should really let them make their own IPs or maybe just make us wait like 4, 5, 6, years for a new entry in the series so the leap feels good, just like rockstar does. I think the fault is at Microsoft, they only rely on gears and halo and that sucks, they make them work on this franchises and milk them as hard as they can casue is the only thing they have. (regarding the Xbox obviously)
If it takes them 6 months to develop a map for gears 5. They really need to rethink on a new career cuz clearly game developing isnt there strong suit.
Now if this was a huge battle royale map that would be 10x10km then that would make sense. But this isn't a battle royale game. It's a Gears of War game where the maps are small and close quartered. The coalition are either two things. Extremely incompetent and hire bad newbie game developers or extremely lazy and unpassionate. I'll go with both. Fuck TC.
@@gameexpert133 For an indie studio yes. But this is a Triple A company we're talking about. 6 months to release one map whilst in Gears 4 we had 8 new maps released in a single year. Yea something here fucking stinks chief.
same lol, the best 2$ I've spent ever in my life and won't regret my decision of not buying the game itself lmao. my pass will expire on 21, till then im just trynna finish gears 1 campaign.
@Ghost Of Sparta I think it is because they wanted you to explore the world (they could have you do this simply by giving us more locations in campaign but that might not feel as "organic") more that said it was handled kind of poorly and slowed the game down.
This game has completely destroyed my interest. And to people who think Shepard is “ruining” Gears, he is making a criticism. It’s ok if you enjoy the game. No one is asking you to not play the game just cause we think it’s bad.
Completely different within the Fallout76 critics community. You get torn into pieces if you admit on youtube that you are playing it, even if you only paid 25€ one year ago and never spend one more dime on it.
I want to congratulate TC for ruining one of the best video gaming franchases of all time since Gears 4 and after seeing the dead on arrival that is Gears 5 just after only 2 or 3 months of realise i stop caring for that game anymore.
@@gameexpert133 that's exactly the problem. Who makes a game and dumbs it down for the casuals instead of appealing to the people that make the game what it is? The hard core fans is where the money and loyalty is and if you lose that any franchise is screwed
Honestly i haven't commented on a video in quite some years but I love your videos about the series. Not happy with what its become. Miss all the old weapons, executions and being excited for a map pack. GOW3 was the best and last good gears. GOW5 is nothing but a vanilla micro transaction game. Keeping making your videos and bring light on what it use to be about.
Honestly cant find the words anymore to express how frustrated and disappointed I am with how they completely ruined this game. The entire playerbase is gone now, the franchise as a whole had a last chance of survival with gamepass to draw a larger audience in but ended up with less players, such a shame, time to call it a day.
There shouldn't be any micro transactions, period. Sony knows this that's why they release genuinely amazing games (God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, Spider man, Bloodborne etc.) that don't have any micro transactions. This is quite possibly the greediest I've ever seen a company. If this were a F2P game it would still be unacceptable, but this is a full priced AAA game published FROM A MICROSOFT FIRST PARTY STUDIO!!! Wtf is going on here... This game sure is a system seller alright, it will sell the PS5 millions of units. Shame on you TC and Microsoft for allowing this fuckery to take place. They won't be even disable MTX while fixing the countless bugs in their game because they're so goddamn greedy. I stopped playing this mess the moment the GoW2 curb stomp appeared in the store.
21reaperz just keep in mind we did not get one drop of story dlc for the gears 4 season pass. What a joke. I heavily play multiplayer and it’s fucken hard to enjoy this game when they only characters I enjoy aren’t in it and I gotta grind harder and escape just to get some basic ass skins. I don’t want to play 300 rounds of horde and 100 rounds of escape ffs
Erick Evans I fully agree with you. I would like for them to create a preference option for challenges. I’m only playing for the multiplayer at this point so I want my challenges to be multiplayer based. Also, why not have basic xp help with challenge progress in the tour of duty. I feel like I’m forcing myself to play this game at this point and I’m becoming more frustrated than I am having fun. Still idk why I still play.
21reaperz see the crazy part is apex legends does that. You can complete daily challenges for xp and weekly challenges for Battle pass levels and some for xp. If gears could adopt that system and one weekly challenge could be a full level or xp that once the bar is filled will grant one Battle pass level
Erick Evans thats what I was thinking too. Still, they really need to make the rewards more appealing. Not just the characters skins but the weapon skins are just lack any creativity. Everyone rocks the same ones because there isn’t much to choose from. Previous gears had way more options even from launch. Look at these “cardboard” skins..smh. I feel like this will end up being a good game in time. The question is how long and more than likely, it will be too late. Most players already left and I’m not excited to watch competitive with this lame “escalation 2.0” I love this series but they take one step forward and so many back.
Gerry De la Cerda Villanueva you already paid them 60 bucks for this abomination lmao you think they care?... be like me, didn't buy gow 4 or 5 cuz it's crap. I made my point, now you..
Nice video mate but I must be honest with myself and admit I have seen like 4 other mtx videos from your channel so with some repeat clips so That's maybe why you got those comments , don't worry I get them because I have multiple mtx videos and another one coming, just ignore it I enjoyed this one, very nice video keep it up.
Thanks GGZii I appreciate the view and everything! I've only had one other MTX focused video but it is true I've discussed it multiple times! Yeah I've seen you're getting even more hate than I am at times lol, keep up the good work too mate!
I'm an 06' veteran Gear....and I'm VERY close to uninstalling Gears 5. I don't even play it. I just keep it installed because it's a Gears Game. I have hope it'll improve but...every passing day this horrid game just pisses me off, and it's actually disgusting to see in my library sometimes. I want to uninstall...but I also want it to thrive so I can play it again
@@huskerdee1431 gears and halo is also the reason I own an xbox still. But after these last installments I'm beginning to question why I still support xbox. I might jump to Sony next gen because i have no hope for these devs anymore totally ruining the identity these games had
It is absolutely mind blowing to me when I see people who paid for the Grace skin, IF YOU PLAY WITH THIS SKIN YOU ARE SCUM OF THE EARTH AND ARE PART OF THE REASON WHY WE HAVE TO PAY FOR EVRYTHING!!! That really goes for everyone who bought anything from the store. Stop supporting the coalition folks
i pre orded the ultimate edition, i've never been so disappointed in a game. I've been playing gears since gears of war 2 came out. i've been playing gears or war 4 alot lately, and going back to gears 5 it doesn't feel like a gears game. pathetic
It's a typical bullshit excuse you will get from a studio of lazy ass developers. It's honestly pathetic that these snobs still have a job to begin with.
It is pretty sad to see my favourite franchise fall apart. The feeling of being drip-fed content is terrible. In fact, someone asked on one of the developer streams why they are doing so. The representative began to read it and stopped mid sentence saying, "Oh I don't want to talk about that." Terrible. TC knows what they are doing.
It's so disheartening to see what was once my favorite franchise has become. At this point I just want a Marcus Fenix collection not unlike MCC so I can forget all of this live service stuff. Feels like a joke to see blood splatters, banners, emotes, and this god awful Tour of Duty system in a Gears game :(
Me too. But I also shelled out $250 for Halo 5 only to uninstall it within the same month of release. I just want to have fun playing games. Even Gears Ultimate Edition was 100x times better than this garbage smh...
They keep digging this franchise into the ground. I legit want to see this game become good, but that won’t happen unless TC makes a lot of changes to the game. I’ll stick to the older gears games until the dust is settled.
@Shepard Gaming - Doesn't it all make sense why this game was available at launch on the Game Pass? Because it made it more accessible to EVERYONE, even the people who didn't want it. That means, more people will have access to the game and it's MICROTRANSACTIONS!!!!!.. That was the ONLY reason this game was released on the game pass.. This game was never meant for the GEARS OF WAR fans, it was meant for the masses that have access to their mother's credit cards.. I'd ask for someone to resurrect the Dead Space franchise but I'm sure that will get ruined with MICRO's as well..
It’s such a shame man, I got gears 5 on game pass and have no intentions of buying it. The coalition have shown their true colours with this game and in no way will I be supporting them.
I can't believe a made a huge mistake in buying the Ultimate Edition of this pathetic excuse of a Gears game. It's starting to become like Judgment as far as lack of content.
I love being featured Twice in your Video! Thanks for showing 2 of my reddit posts. I am TurianGhost on reddit & I love calling The Coalition out with their scummy store tactics.
used to be one of the original gears players and i feel ya shepard would love to see the game make a comeback but the coalition has driven the game to the ground and its complete trash now man
Shepard Gaming very true, btw man don’t worry about all the haters.. keep fighting the good fight we know you only have the best intentions for the game!
In Gears 4 whenever you'd rank up, you'll always get in=game credits so you can get packs without using your own money, now gears 5 you have to hit a certain rank to earn in=game currency, makes me mad to see the change.
I want a Gears game centered around locust generals.... I kinda just imagined a horror game in the Gears universe. One of my favorite things about the old Gears of war Games they always included one certain type of mission in a campaign One of horror as you feel you could easily be ripped to shred one if power where you can easily decimate all those locust that were giving you problems before Gears 5 Well the only fun part was the one mission with the matriarch and HOD because it brought back nostalgia in gameplay and story.
Gears of war 1, the glowie wretches Gears of war 2, the Sires Gears of war 3, lambet humans These were the one horror missions in each game. The reason Gears of war 4 isn't included is because the "Horror" mission was when the Swarm introduced themselves.
I dropped this game a week after I bought it. I could tell that some of my deaths were BS. AND Friday the 13th is ahead of gears...that shit is so terrible you can barely connect half the time. Says a lot...
I agree with you, I'm a die hard gears fan but this game has so many problems and the store is terrible. A lack of multiplayer maps, a lack of multiplayer characters, and a lack of cosmetics. The coalition needs to get their stuff together, dont let the franchise we love die with one bad game.
Honestly, I'm not really feeling the multiplayer in gears 5. The characters seem heavy and slow compared to gears 4; The characters seem more agile in gears 4. But I did enjoy the campaign tho. The world was really beautiful and colorful.
Please don't stop uploading videos about Gears man, I had no idea people from the community were throwing hate your way. They genuinely have no idea how big of a favor you're doing for them and all of us Gear heads.
THIS GAME IS TRASH! I BOUGHT IT ON DAY ONE JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER GEARS GAME BUT THIS GEARS GAME IS WORSE THAN JUDGEMENT. I PLAYED A WEEK N COULDN'T TAKE THE BS SO I WONT BE PLAYING TIL IT GETS BETTER
I was honestly wanting Gears 5 so badly but my "wait a week to buy AAA games" policy kept me from buying this. I'm using your channel to keep me updated on when I can finally buy this game (when the micro transactions are purely cosmetic and characters aren't gated behind money and a massive grind). Thanks for doing God's work.
You're not wrong Shep. Your videos have summed up my, and many others' thoughts on the store. There NEEDS to be people like you speaking the truth, rather than bending over and accepting what is happening. This is my favourite franchise, and I haven't stopped playing, but this is painful. Thank you for making these videos, and standing up to the BS from people giving you crap over this. Keep it up Shep
Thanks mate that means a lot! Glad to have awesome supporters like yourself! Been getting a tremendous amount of hate from some parts of the community along with some pro players
@@shepardgaming5594 Cheers bud! There will always be those who seek to silence the truth, but it's people like yourself that speak up and are the voice of the voiceless. Most people keep their gripes to themselves, or forums which are widely ignored. I feel like if you're catching a bunch of shit for your shared opinion, you're doing at least something right. I've been playing Gears since '06, and was very disappointed with how the microtransactions worked in Gears 4. I had a lot of hope with the pre-release announcements/promises, and have been ultimately further disappointed. The game itself is pretty great, but so many aspects of what's going on will continue to alienate player-base. Also, don't worry about "pro-players" hassling you. Gears 4&5 have gone out of their way to cater to them and the e-sports community, so they have a very biased opinion.
Thank you for making this video. You are well needed voice because none of the the "real"/ main gears RUclipsrs don't say anything about any problems. Every time I play there is some problem or glitch and I can't comprehend how anyone can justify the state the game is when the game is $60 when plenty of people payed $80 like myself but is seems like there is no sign of stopping with TC and their predatory store and actions towards consumers
@Shepard Gaming it's a shame, i had a cool idea for the gears series. However, i don't think these guys can be trusted. I was thinking of a horde improvement, were you could select a faction (via vote), the Lambent, Locust (i personally hate the "swarm"), and COG. If you selected Lambent, you would fight COG troops, and normal Locust. Locust would be fighting the COG and Lambent. An the different factions would have their different aesthetic for things like barrier, sentry,... For example for the Locust a sentry would be a suicide ticker that acts more like a mine, at lvl 1 and at lvl 2 would be the flying gorgon things from the giant beetle the queen rides. Replace the COG sliverback for the bloodmount and than upgrade it to a brumak for the Locust. No matter how good an idea is poor execution will always be its death. For example the airplane-helicopter hybrid that combined the strengths of both into one machine. (Although it was more of a victim of circumstance more than anything else.)
@@TheAmaizeing Oh my god. Grace? Ladyboy Grace?? Who wants that shit. And the Rev9 is stupid and terrible. Just another lame 1000 knockoff. I'm sure the Gears fandom is clamoring to get these characters, even though that shit movie bombed like Berlin.
Imagine if you went to the movies and scenes were missing or the movie broke mid way or you had to pay extra to see certain scenes in the movie. Video game industry makes more than music and movies combined annually. I don't buy half finished music or half finished movies, but games get to do this.
The sad part is that Activision and EA are changing their ways there's no loot boxes in Modern Warfare and EA put out the new need for speed without microtransactions and the new star wars game is single player only with no microtransactions I'm afraid the coalition will be the only company to be doing it when the fad of microtransactions die off and I'm afraid along with the coalition and gears itself.
I have given up on gears been playing since 2 and after this gears it just hurts me to see where it is now and i hope it does get better but at this point the damage is done for me and i hate that. I really enjoyed gears and it makes me sad to think about it right now and how much i enjoyed it with friends and all the memories and fun times i had all led to this. I dont even play with those people anymore because of other interests and falling off gears over time. I wish it were better.
Great Video Comrade. Monetize your haters. Your Gears of War videos are nothing short of beneficial to the community. It's good to have another voice helping the cause. Keep up the good content work.
7:40 I saw what you did there ok but seriously the first step so gears 5 can be a good game is that they need to change the name to Gears Of War 5 not gears 5
TC wanted to take advantage of the battle-royale-syndrome around videogames played this days. They thought: We're gonna launch the game on gamepass so players don't have to spend $60 buying the game, BUT they're gonna buy our dirty iron and spend more than the base price before their gamepass expire.
When Gow 1 debuted it was one guy’s vision with a studio,Epic working to make that vision a reality. Now we have a corporation doing a paint by numbers formula with no real passion or drive. This is what you get.
Its sad how hard it is to find a match on this game ALREADY. I play everyday and i can ‘feel’ that a mass of people put this game down. My friends list used to be filled with people playing gears...now its like on average 2 and sometimes none. I check the looking for group posts and they’re dead most of the time as well. Just searching for a ranked match now takes ages, and quickplay matches are constantly filled with bots, even during peek gaming hours. Coalition is fuckin up. And i know they think they fixed the lancer but all they did was render it half useless. Btw: Fix the goddamn grenades for fuck sake, it takes 3 attempts to get them to plant and they show up immediately on your enemy’s tac-com. There is no catching someone by surprise anymore with a planted grenade, theres no point in even planting a grenade anymore. It does more harm than good most of the time. Example: you’re the last man standing and you decide to post up at a certain location and plant a grenade on your flank or something. You just gave your position away to the enemy team who is using their tac-com and now sees a random enemy grenade tagged from across the entire map. Now they all know where you are and you’re fuct. I rest my case but this shit needs to be fixed & NO ONE is saying a word about it.
Great job again on the video man. I appreciate the time and the effort put into writing and making each one in your series. Its great to see a Gears fan on RUclips calling out TC and the Gears 5 in such a well done and direct manner. Good shit bro
If you defend this game after hearing how bad they dropped the ball compared to past gears games you're a joke. Used to love this franchise since G1 now I could care less... So sad 🤦
WHY IS THE COALUTION BEING SO FUCKING GREEDY!! IM 53 YRS OLD AND HAVE LOVED THE GEARS FRANCHISE SINCE I FIRST CHAINSAWED MY FIRST LOCUST, WTF IS WITH ALL THIS GREED, GEARS WOULDNT BE WERE IT IS IF IT WASNT FOR THE COMMITTED DIEHARD FANS, SO HOWS YOU TREAT US WITH ALLITTLE MORE RESPECT, AND FIX THE FUCKING STORE!!! YEAH IM PISSED!!!!!
Dude there’s a post on the Gears 5 Reddit forums where a guy literally did all the math and counted up all the items that they have to offer and the total apparently came out to $750.... imagine spending $60 on this game just to see all this skins should not cost more than $5 this is ridiculous. Great vid man keep making more till they fix this damn game.
Ive been a gears fan since 2006 ,,i think your spot on with your vids,,im tired of defending this game there no excuse for what the coalition is doing right now,,ive stopped playing it all together i just get angry when i do,,im glad your speaking out against this you have my support
Another thing that sucks is when you even do hit general rank in gears 5 tour of duty, it feels like there's not another reason to play. As you'll have to wait a whole season till you earn ANYTHING
Hey Shephard Gaming, do you think The Coalition will pull a "God of War" and completely re-invent the gameplay for Gears 6? Like you said, the popularity is just so low I'm not sure they're going to want to put out another installment with the "some old" mechanics and so forth.
I've played this game every day since it came out, because I believed in Gears. After Modern Warfare came out, I just got the Blood Moon Imago, and haven't ran the game since. It's in a completely unacceptable state.
The fact that my favorite part of the game was going back to a section from Gears of War 2 (New Hope Facility) and fighting the Locust again shows how much Gears 5 tanked the story. Was it horrible? No, there were some other memorable moments. But overall, if the best part of an entirely new campaign is purely built on nostalgia, that's probably not a good sign.
@@shepardgaming5594 Such a nostalgic trip, I had to replay Gears 2. Also, great vid by the way! I always enjoy watching these rundowns, and based on the forums, I'd say most of the Gears community agrees.
This is why I only played the game on Game Pass and have barely touched the game since I finished the story. I’ve loved Gears of War since I started with Gears of War 2. It feels like Gears of War has lost its soul that made it such a unique game and traded it down for a washed down shooter and drowned with micro-transactions. Unless it returns to its roots that we feel in love with I don’t think I’ll pick up another Gears game. Gears of War and Halo use to be console sellers. Now they have become a former shell of what they use to be.
It hurts me so much that Gears have fell from grace. Like this game used to be my magnum opus. Now...now I don’t even know what the fuck it is anymore. The lights are on but no one is home. The devs don’t listen to us. And don’t get me started on the look of the game. Don’t get me wrong the game is beautiful but come one. Gears used to gritty it used to feel raw. It felt like every shot would rip you in half. But now it feels like the Pacific rim 2 of the gears verse. The gore in the last two gears game have been absolute shits I’ve seen more blood and gore in Lego games. Pointless micro transactions. I’m so glad I grew up during the first three games.
I tried coming back to this game last week. Loaded up the main menu and was met with an advertisement for a skin in the store that took up like 1/3 of the screen. Closed the game immediately. It made me feel physically ill.
Its a shame gears of war is like this but, I guess it's a good thing I never even played gears 4 and 5 . Fyi I loved the gears of war to death and I'm happy you are making these videos to open peoples eyes. To me, the new gears games lack imagination with its modes and are filled with to much microtransactions for my taste. In the end, keep making videos bro. I support you.
At this point, the community should just ask for Rod Fergusson’s resignation. I’m not even joking. It probably won’t happen, but it would definitely amp up pressure and send a message to Phil Spencer and Xbox that Gears of Ear has lost its way and stands no chance at recovery under his leadership.
I'm honestly shocked by how much flack you catch for these videos. Compared to most other game critics, professional or otherwise, I think you get your point across pretty well while keeping it particularly civil. I'm also surprised by how willing these Gears fans are willing to defend Gears 5. I mean, I love Gears to the core and tried to accept it when it first launched, but after all this, I cannot defend Gears 5 nor the Coalition for the laundry list of mistakes they have made. And I don't say that just because you've pointed it out on your videos. I have the game myself and I've seen these ludicrous micro transactions and busted ranking system with my own two eyes and I am shocked and appalled, to say the least.

Well, now what? Gears was supposed to be awesome.
It was supposed to, sadly it wasn't :/
Yeah I wasn't a fan of escape either, I really enjoyed beast mode in gears 3, and overrun in judgement!
Man I can see the love you have for this game, it breaks my heart to see my favorite series going down the drain cuz of developers, they need people like you working there, you'll listen and make changes cuz you care for the game and fans. Keep up the good work bro and have a nice day :)
@Kristopher Wickline to make it more better it would be cool if they add like the locust and that for escape and horde maybe some more bosses for escape.
You know there’s a problem when more people are playing battlefield 5 then gears 5....

Kinda like you're old mustache 😉

How about an emote for $5!? Lol

nailed it.....there's a huge disconnect.
They’ve gone full fallout 76

So, as of now, I'm pretty fed up with the coalition, as shepard has said, there getting worse, and worse, and if this comment gets enough attention, I'll scour the gears community that play the game to get statistics, like, "1 out of 10" type of statistics, on campaign, store, and other aspects of gears 5. As avid gears fan, I love the franchise to death, and many fond memories are within the games. So, the deal here is that if this comment gets enough attention, I'll try and contact shepard, and give him some more evidence.
Zombieeater986 k
gears 4 gameplay now is perfect, it wasn't always like that it used to be very broken. Gears 5 will most likely have the same fate where the developers feel like fixing the game years after launch
please explain "So, the deal here is that if this comment gets enough attention," in greater detail?
@@Dracoswizard I sent the responses to Sheppard way back when. He'll have to include the info in a video or something. Alot of it was "Gears 5 is shit because of X, Y, and Z" but, I do remember someone saying it was a good game, but that it needs time to grow and heal.
The coalition and 343 should really start proposing new games, but the problem is that their existence is only working on washed-out franchises and ruining them in the process, halo 5 and gears 5 are perfect examples, almost twin like, gears 4 halo 4 were ok games that started to divide the fanbase , gears 5 and halo 5 were massive bombs that destroyed the fanbase completely. Microsoft should really let them make their own IPs or maybe just make us wait like 4, 5, 6, years for a new entry in the series so the leap feels good, just like rockstar does. I think the fault is at Microsoft, they only rely on gears and halo and that sucks, they make them work on this franchises and milk them as hard as they can casue is the only thing they have. (regarding the Xbox obviously)
If it takes them 6 months to develop a map for gears 5. They really need to rethink on a new career cuz clearly game developing isnt there strong suit.
Exactly well said Emerald!
Now if this was a huge battle royale map that would be 10x10km then that would make sense. But this isn't a battle royale game. It's a Gears of War game where the maps are small and close quartered.
The coalition are either two things. Extremely incompetent and hire bad newbie game developers or extremely lazy and unpassionate. I'll go with both.
Fuck TC.
@@VeteranR you guys do realize game development is a lot more complex than just "making a map" it takes a lot of coding and overall work to do so
@@gameexpert133 For an indie studio yes. But this is a Triple A company we're talking about. 6 months to release one map whilst in Gears 4 we had 8 new maps released in a single year. Yea something here fucking stinks chief.
@Boba Fett My thoughts exactly. Spencer just seemed to have been stuck between a rock and a hard place.
I didn’t buy it, i game passed it... I’m not supporting The Coalition anymore
I did as well! First gears I haven't owned the physical copy of!
same lol, the best 2$ I've spent ever in my life and won't regret my decision of not buying the game itself lmao. my pass will expire on 21, till then im just trynna finish gears 1 campaign.
lol played the beta and was like there’s no way I’m paying full price for this garbage
Lukas H tbh I loved gears 4 lol that’s all I’ve been playing again cause 5 is trash
@Ghost Of Sparta that deal has been up for anyone who hasn't done it yet, not just because of gears of war.
Remember when The Coalition said that Gears 5 will be the biggest Gears of War game to date? Lol that aged super poorly.
In terms of SP and horde yea its bog
@@gameexpert133 I actually enjoyed the campaign. It's nowhere near as good as the original trilogy but it was much better than Gears 4.
@Ghost Of Sparta I think it is because they wanted you to explore the world (they could have you do this simply by giving us more locations in campaign but that might not feel as "organic") more that said it was handled kind of poorly and slowed the game down.
@@VeteranR freaking hate the campaign and I can't believe that Gears 4 campaign is even worst. Nothing like gear 1, 2 and 3.
@@santiagomoralesgarcia1802 Ok. Good on you I guess?
This game has completely destroyed my interest. And to people who think Shepard is “ruining” Gears, he is making a criticism. It’s ok if you enjoy the game. No one is asking you to not play the game just cause we think it’s bad.
Thanks mate for the defense! Yeah if someone likes it I don't think they should stop playing lol
ironically they can just add in old maps that were well made.... lol
@@PKedByBlade according to TC that takes 6 months though
Completely different within the Fallout76 critics community. You get torn into pieces if you admit on youtube that you are playing it, even if you only paid 25€ one year ago and never spend one more dime on it.
Back in my day, we didn't have those BS rewards. You play the game because you like IT!
Still can play it because we like it, but if it's a regression from previous installments it needs to be called out

Man I miss the days of a complete game u just put in, and play, no installation, updates, and best of all no micro transactions.
Man you ain't never lied! We're sold broken games every year.

I totally agree every time you turn on the X Box it seems fucking updates ...

@@ThisIsPatRyan this is true I'm just saying why Friday 13tv has a sudden influx in players go back a month on Xbox and it was basically dead 😟
Its dropping on the top played list everyday lol. It's sad. Hell even I haven't played it much the past few weeks.
Honestly i haven't commented on a video in quite some years but I love your videos about the series. Not happy with what its become. Miss all the old weapons, executions and being excited for a map pack. GOW3 was the best and last good gears. GOW5 is nothing but a vanilla micro transaction game.
Keeping making your videos and bring light on what it use to be about.
Thanks mate I feel honored that you take the time to comment on my vids! I'll keep it up!
Gears if war 3 was the best gears. And it should have died with it. It did anyways I suppose.
Honestly cant find the words anymore to express how frustrated and disappointed I am with how they completely ruined this game. The entire playerbase is gone now, the franchise as a whole had a last chance of survival with gamepass to draw a larger audience in but ended up with less players, such a shame, time to call it a day.
There shouldn't be any micro transactions, period. Sony knows this that's why they release genuinely amazing games (God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, Spider man, Bloodborne etc.) that don't have any micro transactions. This is quite possibly the greediest I've ever seen a company. If this were a F2P game it would still be unacceptable, but this is a full priced AAA game published FROM A MICROSOFT FIRST PARTY STUDIO!!! Wtf is going on here... This game sure is a system seller alright, it will sell the PS5 millions of units. Shame on you TC and Microsoft for allowing this fuckery to take place. They won't be even disable MTX while fixing the countless bugs in their game because they're so goddamn greedy. I stopped playing this mess the moment the GoW2 curb stomp appeared in the store.
Exactly these prices are bad even if it was free to play game..but it's not!

Everything within gaming just seems so money hungry it makes it really hard to enjoy a game
I know it's hard t find great games now day
Hey guy that made video, heart this dude's comment
I honestly just stopped playing after I finished the campaign. Tried multiplayer for about a week and couldn't even play characters I wanted too.
Yeah I have a hard time playing it right now and enjoying myself
I want a classic dark style gears of war from the locust perspective like Raams Shadow from Gears 3! Gimme it!
21reaperz just keep in mind we did not get one drop of story dlc for the gears 4 season pass. What a joke. I heavily play multiplayer and it’s fucken hard to enjoy this game when they only characters I enjoy aren’t in it and I gotta grind harder and escape just to get some basic ass skins. I don’t want to play 300 rounds of horde and 100 rounds of escape ffs
Coalition: Ah, no...But you can have this Junkyard Shepard skin for 8 dollars. Win, win. 😉👍
Erick Evans I fully agree with you. I would like for them to create a preference option for challenges. I’m only playing for the multiplayer at this point so I want my challenges to be multiplayer based. Also, why not have basic xp help with challenge progress in the tour of duty. I feel like I’m forcing myself to play this game at this point and I’m becoming more frustrated than I am having fun. Still idk why I still play.
21reaperz see the crazy part is apex legends does that. You can complete daily challenges for xp and weekly challenges for Battle pass levels and some for xp. If gears could adopt that system and one weekly challenge could be a full level or xp that once the bar is filled will grant one Battle pass level
Erick Evans thats what I was thinking too. Still, they really need to make the rewards more appealing. Not just the characters skins but the weapon skins are just lack any creativity. Everyone rocks the same ones because there isn’t much to choose from. Previous gears had way more options even from launch. Look at these “cardboard” skins..smh. I feel like this will end up being a good game in time. The question is how long and more than likely, it will be too late. Most players already left and I’m not excited to watch competitive with this lame “escalation 2.0” I love this series but they take one step forward and so many back.
Tbh we should all stand together and play Gears 3 to show TC what a real Gears is like

It is pretty sad to see my favourite franchise fall apart. The feeling of being drip-fed content is terrible. In fact, someone asked on one of the developer streams why they are doing so. The representative began to read it and stopped mid sentence saying, "Oh I don't want to talk about that." Terrible. TC knows what they are doing.
It's so disheartening to see what was once my favorite franchise has become. At this point I just want a Marcus Fenix collection not unlike MCC so I can forget all of this live service stuff.

@Shepard Gaming - Doesn't it all make sense why this game was available at launch on the Game Pass? Because it made it more accessible to EVERYONE, even the people who didn't want it. That means, more people will have access to the game and it's MICROTRANSACTIONS!!!!!.. That was the ONLY reason this game was released on the game pass.. This game was never meant for the GEARS OF WAR fans, it was meant for the masses that have access to their mother's credit cards.. I'd ask for someone to resurrect the Dead Space franchise but I'm sure that will get ruined with MICRO's as well..

used to be one of the original gears players and i feel ya shepard would love to see the game make a comeback but the coalition has driven the game to the ground and its complete trash now man
Exactly I would love nothing more than for this game to succeed out of greatness, but it needs to be great first!
Shepard Gaming very true, btw man don’t worry about all the haters.. keep fighting the good fight we know you only have the best intentions for the game!
In Gears 4 whenever you'd rank up, you'll always get in=game credits so you can get packs without using your own money, now gears 5 you have to hit a certain rank to earn in=game currency, makes me mad to see the change.
I want a Gears game centered around locust generals....
I kinda just imagined a horror game in the Gears universe.
One of my favorite things about the old Gears of war Games they always included one certain type of mission in a campaign
One of horror as you feel you could easily be ripped to shred one if power where you can easily decimate all those locust that were giving you problems before
Gears 5
Well the only fun part was the one mission with the matriarch and HOD because it brought back nostalgia in gameplay and story.
Gears of war 1, the glowie wretches
Gears of war 2, the Sires
Gears of war 3, lambet humans
These were the one horror missions in each game. The reason Gears of war 4 isn't included is because the "Horror" mission was when the Swarm introduced themselves.
I dropped this game a week after I bought it. I could tell that some of my deaths were BS. AND Friday the 13th is ahead of gears...that shit is so terrible you can barely connect half the time. Says a lot...
This is getting ridiculous at this point.
Agreed!
I agree with you, I'm a die hard gears fan but this game has so many problems and the store is terrible. A lack of multiplayer maps, a lack of multiplayer characters, and a lack of cosmetics. The coalition needs to get their stuff together, dont let the franchise we love die with one bad game.
I know this game just feels like it has a lack of almost anything sadly..
Honestly, I'm not really feeling the multiplayer in gears 5. The characters seem heavy and slow compared to gears 4; The characters seem more agile in gears 4. But I did enjoy the campaign tho. The world was really beautiful and colorful.
Please don't stop uploading videos about Gears man, I had no idea people from the community were throwing hate your way. They genuinely have no idea how big of a favor you're doing for them and all of us Gear heads.

I was honestly wanting Gears 5 so badly but my "wait a week to buy AAA games" policy kept me from buying this.

You're not wrong Shep. Your videos have summed up my, and many others' thoughts on the store. There NEEDS to be people like you speaking the truth, rather than bending over and accepting what is happening. This is my favourite franchise, and I haven't stopped playing, but this is painful. Thank you for making these videos, and standing up to the BS from people giving you crap over this. Keep it up Shep
Thanks mate that means a lot! Glad to have awesome supporters like yourself! Been getting a tremendous amount of hate from some parts of the community along with some pro players
@@shepardgaming5594 Cheers bud! There will always be those who seek to silence the truth, but it's people like yourself that speak up and are the voice of the voiceless. Most people keep their gripes to themselves, or forums which are widely ignored. I feel like if you're catching a bunch of shit for your shared opinion, you're doing at least something right.
I've been playing Gears since '06, and was very disappointed with how the microtransactions worked in Gears 4. I had a lot of hope with the pre-release announcements/promises, and have been ultimately further disappointed. The game itself is pretty great, but so many aspects of what's going on will continue to alienate player-base.
Also, don't worry about "pro-players" hassling you. Gears 4&5 have gone out of their way to cater to them and the e-sports community, so they have a very biased opinion.
I’ve stopped playing now maybe I’ll come back a year later when it’s an actual complete game!
Yup it feels like it was released too early
Reminds me of battlefront 2017 and halo 5
Thank you for making this video. You are well needed voice because none of the the "real"/ main gears RUclipsrs don't say anything about any problems. Every time I play there is some problem or glitch and I can't comprehend how anyone can justify the state the game is when the game is $60 when plenty of people payed $80 like myself but is seems like there is no sign of stopping with TC and their predatory store and actions towards consumers
@Shepard Gaming it's a shame, i had a cool idea for the gears series. However, i don't think these guys can be trusted.
I was thinking of a horde improvement, were you could select a faction (via vote), the Lambent, Locust (i personally hate the "swarm"), and COG.
If you selected Lambent, you would fight COG troops, and normal Locust.
Locust would be fighting the COG and Lambent.
An the different factions would have their different aesthetic for things like barrier, sentry,...
For example for the Locust a sentry would be a suicide ticker that acts more like a mine, at lvl 1 and at lvl 2 would be the flying gorgon things from the giant beetle the queen rides.
Replace the COG sliverback for the bloodmount and than upgrade it to a brumak for the Locust.
No matter how good an idea is poor execution will always be its death.
For example the airplane-helicopter hybrid that combined the strengths of both into one machine. (Although it was more of a victim of circumstance more than anything else.)
Or you could make entirely new things as well for each faction as needed.
Damn mate that's actually a bad ass idea! I'd love that!
It appears that The Coalition has failed to comply with fans of the franchise. They will now be detained.
Does anyone else find it disgusting that they added another set of characters from the fawking terminator universe?

Imagine if you went to the movies and scenes were missing or the movie broke mid way or you had to pay extra to see certain scenes in the movie.
Video game industry makes more than music and movies combined annually. I don't buy half finished music or half finished movies, but games get to do this.
Glad I never bought this game, I just had a feeling.
The sad part is that Activision and EA are changing their ways there's no loot boxes in Modern Warfare and EA put out the new need for speed without microtransactions and the new star wars game is single player only with no microtransactions I'm afraid the coalition will be the only company to be doing it when the fad of microtransactions die off and I'm afraid along with the coalition and gears itself.
I have given up on gears been playing since 2 and after this gears it just hurts me to see where it is now and i hope it does get better but at this point the damage is done for me and i hate that. I really enjoyed gears and it makes me sad to think about it right now and how much i enjoyed it with friends and all the memories and fun times i had all led to this. I dont even play with those people anymore because of other interests and falling off gears over time. I wish it were better.

The reason this video is great is simply because it's TRUE.
Aw shit here we go again.

TC wanted to take advantage of the battle-royale-syndrome around videogames played this days. They thought: We're gonna launch the game on gamepass so players don't have to spend $60 buying the game, BUT they're gonna buy our dirty iron and spend more than the base price before their gamepass expire.

Haha it's good mate I approve it! 😂
Its sad how hard it is to find a match on this game ALREADY. I play everyday and i can ‘feel’ that a mass of people put this game down. My friends list used to be filled with people playing gears...now its like on average 2 and sometimes none. I check the looking for group posts and they’re dead most of the time as well. Just searching for a ranked match now takes ages, and quickplay matches are constantly filled with bots, even during peek gaming hours. Coalition is fuckin up. And i know they think they fixed the lancer but all they did was render it half useless.
Btw:
Fix the goddamn grenades for fuck sake, it takes 3 attempts to get them to plant and they show up immediately on your enemy’s tac-com. There is no catching someone by surprise anymore with a planted grenade, theres no point in even planting a grenade anymore. It does more harm than good most of the time. Example: you’re the last man standing and you decide to post up at a certain location and plant a grenade on your flank or something. You just gave your position away to the enemy team who is using their tac-com and now sees a random enemy grenade tagged from across the entire map. Now they all know where you are and you’re fuct. I rest my case but this shit needs to be fixed & NO ONE is saying a word about it.
infamous erv I agree
Myself and my friends list pretty much vanished.
Great job again on the video man. I appreciate the time and the effort put into writing and making each one in your series. Its great to see a Gears fan on RUclips calling out TC and the Gears 5 in such a well done and direct manner. Good shit bro

Dude there’s a post on the Gears 5 Reddit forums where a guy literally did all the math and counted up all the items that they have to offer and the total apparently came out to $750.... imagine spending $60 on this game just to see all this skins should not cost more than $5 this is ridiculous. Great vid man keep making more till they fix this damn game.

Another thing that sucks is when you even do hit general rank in gears 5 tour of duty, it feels like there's not another reason to play. As you'll have to wait a whole season till you earn ANYTHING
Hey Shephard Gaming, do you think The Coalition will pull a "God of War" and completely re-invent the gameplay for Gears 6? Like you said, the popularity is just so low I'm not sure they're going to want to put out another installment with the "some old" mechanics and so forth.
I think that could be on the table! It'll either be reinvent it, or make the game basically gears of war 3 2.0!
I've played this game every day since it came out, because I believed in Gears. After Modern Warfare came out, I just got the Blood Moon Imago, and haven't ran the game since. It's in a completely unacceptable state.
The fact that my favorite part of the game was going back to a section from Gears of War 2 (New Hope Facility) and fighting the Locust again shows how much Gears 5 tanked the story. Was it horrible? No, there were some other memorable moments. But overall, if the best part of an entirely new campaign is purely built on nostalgia, that's probably not a good sign.
That was my favorite part as well, especially with the music bit!
@@shepardgaming5594 Such a nostalgic trip, I had to replay Gears 2. Also, great vid by the way! I always enjoy watching these rundowns, and based on the forums, I'd say most of the Gears community agrees.
This is why I only played the game on Game Pass and have barely touched the game since I finished the story. I’ve loved Gears of War since I started with Gears of War 2. It feels like Gears of War has lost its soul that made it such a unique game and traded it down for a washed down shooter and drowned with micro-transactions. Unless it returns to its roots that we feel in love with I don’t think I’ll pick up another Gears game.
Gears of War and Halo use to be console sellers. Now they have become a former shell of what they use to be.
Appriciate you making these videos holding the Coalition to account. This game’s multiplayer looks absolutely tragic

It hurts me so much that Gears have fell from grace. Like this game used to be my magnum opus. Now...now I don’t even know what the fuck it is anymore. The lights are on but no one is home. The devs don’t listen to us. And don’t get me started on the look of the game. Don’t get me wrong the game is beautiful but come one. Gears used to gritty it used to feel raw. It felt like every shot would rip you in half. But now it feels like the Pacific rim 2 of the gears verse. The gore in the last two gears game have been absolute shits I’ve seen more blood and gore in Lego games. Pointless micro transactions. I’m so glad I grew up during the first three games.
I tried coming back to this game last week. Loaded up the main menu and was met with an advertisement for a skin in the store that took up like 1/3 of the screen. Closed the game immediately. It made me feel physically ill.
i was a fan when epic games owned GOW. gears 4 was greed and ruined my exp.
I want all Cole party back in the game ASAP
Who all feel the same?
Its a shame gears of war is like this but, I guess it's a good thing I never even played gears 4 and 5 .
Fyi I loved the gears of war to death and I'm happy you are making these videos to open peoples eyes. To me, the new gears games lack imagination with its modes and are filled with to much microtransactions for my taste.
In the end, keep making videos bro. I support you.
At this point, the community should just ask for Rod Fergusson’s resignation. I’m not even joking.
It probably won’t happen, but it would definitely amp up pressure and send a message to Phil Spencer and Xbox that Gears of Ear has lost its way and stands no chance at recovery under his leadership.
I'm not pro cancel culture but he does need to feel some sort of feedback for these decisions
I'm honestly shocked by how much flack you catch for these videos. Compared to most other game critics, professional or otherwise, I think you get your point across pretty well while keeping it particularly civil. I'm also surprised by how willing these Gears fans are willing to defend Gears 5. I mean, I love Gears to the core and tried to accept it when it first launched, but after all this, I cannot defend Gears 5 nor the Coalition for the laundry list of mistakes they have made. And I don't say that just because you've pointed it out on your videos. I have the game myself and I've seen these ludicrous micro transactions and busted ranking system with my own two eyes and I am shocked and appalled, to say the least.
Thanks mate! Yeah the hate is getting petty aggressive and hostile now lol, but I've got awesome supporters like you!
@@shepardgaming5594 I'm an old Gears vet and I totally agree with you, thanks for not being a bootlicker like so many others! 💪👏👍
Give the game back to EPIC and watch it become gears again! Your video is on point sir. Hope TC see it.
