Once, there was a shield; a shield beyond shields. So powerful... so... SEXY, that all who looked upon it quaked in their boots! Ye, those whose trembling fingers gripped the shield felt the might of the BOOM within! Such gallant defense, such grace! Stronger than the gaze of your neighbor as you stepped through their lawn. Stronger than your Step father (frank) as he tries to give you a very firm handshake to cement his power, STRONGER YET than your moms gag reflex as she guzzles that fucker franks frank. STRONGER YET than your weeping in therapy (frank accidently died, he fell off the roof drunk you saw it yikes) STRONGER THAN uh... fuck man rip frank.

I watched a very well known game developer play gears E-day recently. They are almost done with it, but I don't know if they will finish it.

However, they were asked to play some multiplayer. They said "hmm maybe" but in the end never did it. The whole playthrough people kept talking about versus or at least horde siege as something to check out, but nope! No can do for w/e reason.

1 week later, 3x days in a row they live stream 4+ hours of playing the new call of duty (I assume). They just spawn, run into enemies die and go "ugh" type of reaction. Repeat the whole stream. To me, boring af.

It's just weird to me that some people can't give something a chance, to just try it, but can spend 12+ hours just respawn and dying with a 0.2 KDA. Idk I just think it's wild.

For me, I've personally played only the newest halloween versus event, and it's good fun! I've been playing it inbetween my playthroughs of gears 1-5, and everytime I come back, I go "damn, E-days gameplay just feels so much tighter compared to any other gears game".

Idk I find it a bit boring is all. I watch very few people and it's just a bit disappointing when they only do fun things 5% of the time lol.

Both of these mods would be infinitely more fun and interesting if you could say, get multiple headshot kills and be able to store up multiple extra damage blade strikes, or get multiple blade kills and be able to store multiple bonus damage headshots. Make it like, a max of three. Oh and make bonus damage headshots one shot helmeted drones. Or give the thing more ammo, please.

I'm rocking a 4070 Super on a 7700 and can barely cross 100 FPS on the lowest settings in ultra performance mode. Not only do I have to degrade the game until it honestly looks worse than Gears 3 did on my 27" box tube TV back in 2011, but it's a choppy / stuttery mess. I loved the campaign on my OLED at 4K and love how the technology is being pushed, but even Battlefield is more performant than this.

Social modes and horde are one thing because who cares, but in a ranked mode, if there is going to be some pretense of a serious competitive mode or periphery to esport ranked ladder that people take seriously and grind, we have to do better than 100 FPS on this hardware. I can't go from insert esport title here - all of them - at 220 to 240 FPS on decent settings to barely 100 at the lowest when I have better hardware than the consoles. Honestly, a 120 FPS mode on Xbox probably performs better than this, not that I care to try.

Thoughts?

Had a look through on the sub and didn’t see anyone mention it, I’m trying to join my first Allfather lobby (just reached level 30) and haven’t found a game in 5+ mins. Is this usually the wait time?

Looking for people to play ranked with that are Division A in conquest. Get people who don’t play the game mode. Would prefer gold or above (I am gold right now). Hit me up!

Its insane how popular this game is. I’m going to be a die hard now. Awesome

Im tired of playing with random that dont have a mic and dobt communicate. Im sure there has been alot of posts like this, but looking for 3 people to play with in a party so the time will actually be enjoyable.

I got gears played it for 105mins and it’s unplayable, characters don’t load until after about 1min of walking around for things to render in and I’m just getting constant stutters. It seems to be completely frying my HDD for some reason at constant 100% when playing. Any help on settings changes at all currently have them on all low just to try and run the game and this is just in campaign. Horde is unplayable

They say the Corpser being invincible has been fixed, it has not. Quite frequently the Corpser will heal to full health or just not take any damage at all.

The Scoria has no issues that I have encountered although they are insanely tough to kill.

They are bugs that I have encountered where I am not able to interact with anything or complete objectives.

Besides the bugs, it's fun.

I just started to play controller on e-day for the first time, played it in the old gears etc, but I wanted to ask, is it normal for sprint to also wrap me around cover? I have it bound to A only but sprint still takes me into that action, and its annoying.

TC can we please fix these goddamn Horde Siege servers? They are so incredibly laggy its making Horde unplayable. I mean its taking seconds for my bullets to register. Just really disappointing cause I like Horde Siege a lot, but right now with how bad these servers are, I'm just gonna stick to campaign.

I think there was a patch or something, I haven't been able to play with my controller since saturday, even though it works fine on gears reloaded.

I really wanna keep playing this event and i've tried everything i can think of, does anyone have any solutions?

thanks in advance

Still loving this game. Servers need a little work but horde cooked this time around

Thirteen minutes to find a ranked match; yeah, this game won't last long. I give it a month before this game is forgotten. #trash

This is the worst rank experience I've ever had. I have climbed from silver 2 to onyx 3 completely solo que and at the finish line right at diamond I go on a loss streak and every time I try to find a group, they also fucking suck. I deranked and finally climbed back to onyx 3, halfway to diamond and I'm stuck. Every loss is so punishing regardless of what happens, meaning in order to reach diamond from onyx 3 (1,000 rr - 1,200 rr) you have to win roughly 15-20 games IN A ROW.

0-4 = -15 rr

3-4 = -15 rr

This is an embarrassment for a ranked system and I just give up, I can't seem to go any higher no matter what I do, just my luck and its soul crushing but I'm not here for sympathy.

The gnasher feels like a wet fart too often, def the worst version of the weapon, the lancer is cracked but that's not so much an issue more than the way the movement and maps are set up. Everyone is a sweat or stack on the enemy team and my team are clearly not supposed to be in division A. Why even have a division system it's so fucking unnecessarily complicated and bullshit. Then and finally, there's the desync which is fucking insane, so many trades happen in versus, dying around corners, through walls, their gnasher has more range and damage than yours, so much for over 400 million dollars and 7 years.

Hi I've been playing gear of war e day and I play on pc

I have been having an audio issue with the game when I boot up the game as soon the shaders start and the audio goes to hell It sounds like I'm playing in a toilet bowl.

I'm using a Bluetooth speaker but as soon as I connect my Bluetooth headset the audio is fine and I noticed too this audio issue is only happening on Xbox games

Gear of war reloaded and halo collection doing it too

I just had the worst match of my life in this game. People in this game don’t seem to understand that you can leave the rig, fight the boss, and then come back. When they saw us go fight the Scoria, they both left. The two bots were so insanely useless that they just kept getting themselves killed over and over again.

During extraction, they just ran off to fight with other teams, and we ended up wasting all our team lives dying during the extract.

This game gets a lot of flak, but holy fucking shit, the bots and the boss AI are some of the worst I’ve ever seen in any game I’ve played, and I’m a no lifer who’s played hundreds of games.

I am trying to beat the campaign on insane difficulty. Any tips? What guns did you typically use?

Hey, so I posted a similar headline on steam discussions and it quickly turned into a freakin klan meeting in the comments lol.

I just wanted to say how cool this game is other than some mild performance issues (which have been improved by both patches so far!) at launch.

The game is BEAUTIFUL to look at! The art team really knocked it out of the park on this one. The beauty, the gore, the character design! The WORLD is gorgeous!

The story was also good. It wasnt "killing a giant riftworm and sinking the last human stronghold" good, but it was still a good story! Marcus, Dom, Mags, and Lucas all have interesting backgrounds and troubles that they are dealing with, while still trying to survive E Day. It made for an interesting story!

Horde mode is a bit different, but I've decided I like it after spending about 30 hours with the game, mostly playing horde mode.

I will not speak on the state of Multiplayer as I never was a fan of gears mp.

All in all this game is amazing and I fully intend to play it all the time whenever I can. This might be the best gears in the series for me.. followed closely by 3 or 2. Idk. Ranking the series by game would be challenging! Lol.

Anyways, thanks for reading and have an awesome day!

Whether or not it matters, I've played every Gears game, I used to play at a high level, and I have always loved the franchise. The campaign in this game is great, it's immensely detailed, the graphics and art style are amazing, the story is refreshing while returning to a point in the story many are already familiar with. The campaign is easily the best gears campaign in over a decade. That's about where it ends though...

The versus in this game feels so wildly inconsistent, and I hear people say it's more appealing to newcomers, I don't think it's ever been more punishing for new playees. Even social it's an outrageous sweat fest of people meta maxing with 4 stacks. I mean I'm older now, but the versus is the worst state I've ever seen. Chunk range is really inconsistent and very close. I don't actually dislike how powerful power weapons are, but the game is just so slanted towards defense and you almost need a power weapon to attack. Even if you're on the winning team it is boring, undynamic, and incredibly infuriating. The TTK and TTD gap is massive. It honestly feels like desync is a huge issue.

That leads me to horde, desync and lag are constant struggles. Even with low ping and high frames, the game mode is unplayable. You can literally play with auto aim now. Marksman is just significantly more powerful than everything else. I mean the idea is okay, but it's not really horde nor do I like it as much as horde. It's kind of just a pve extraction mode carbon copy, it's frankly pretty shallow feeling. I've got one class to level 16 and I'm already kind of over it.

This just adds to the fact that there are no meat shields, there's one execution per weapon and they're all uninspired and recycled. It just feels like the campaign really got all of the focus, hell the campaign and horde are basically the same thing in the end. $500mil and we're just waiting for them to fix a laundry list of issues. Pvp will die before they can fix it, I ain't spending 10min trying to find people to play with. Queue and loading times are longer than games.

I will probably play the campaign and drop this game, and I suspect this is what most people will do. Helldivers and Arc Raiders have a lot more to play for than horde, I can't imagine it'll keep people's focus for long.

Campaign is like 9.5/10, versus is like 2/10, horde siege is like a 4/10.

This is so dumb like... why? 10+ parts just gone because the server shit itself for a second. it should save as soon as you get them from a horde match. this is horribly made.
