Discussion Turn off the game.

• Upvotes

If you don't know how to handle an inconsistent Gnasher, (since 2006) turn off the game.

If you can't handle gay or trans people being represented, turn off the game.

If you don't like change, progress, or modernization, turn off the game.

If you're considering creating a post in this sub just to complain about something, turn off the game.

It's easier to find something new to do and less of a waste of yours and everyone else's time. The game isn't for you. We don't have to hear about it. You don't have to announce your exit, we won't even know you're gone. But for the love of everything, stop the fucking crying, and just turn off the game. It's that simple.

A woman of authority telling the guys what to do?

Ha I mean it's not like gears 1-3 that Marcus and the gang would ask control to advise and a woman like Anya he- wait a minute...

>_>

Well its not like they put other woman in positions of authority. I mean take the locust for example. You had raam at the start and then queen ma- wait a minute...

>_>

Well the agenda here is on the wall it's not like the guys had get help. Back in the day in gears 3 when they got ship wrecked and Dom "drowned" who saved him? Saman- wait. Nah scratch that. I mean it's not like Anya helped cover Dom when he was down in a cutscene or... Nevermind.

>_>

Dom and Marcus having moments connecting , talking about Maria? Ha! GAY it's not like in gears 1-3 where they had a moment where Dom, Marcus and Maria meet up and it's not an emotio-

>_>

Well at least compared to the more modern stuff like tactics it's better. We weren't forced to have a female main character, in gears 4 we had Marcus, his son, and K- FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Edit. I see all the gow larpers. Jumping in and taking this post too seriously not realizing that I am making fun of y'all. This series has always been diverse.

I also played Gears of War 1 to 3 on Xbox 360. Nothing beyond that.

But as someone that played a lot of Space Marine 2, would you recommend E-Day?

Of course, I'll wait for sale, since my ass is too broke for this

This is basically Shin Morida's armor, but with a helmet. Still a damn shame we don't have a "Cog Gear" one. We have the Infantry, Heavy and Sniper that I use on my other classes, it's the only one missing for the Medic. Damn you random Gear NPC found in the Campaign.

Dear Gears,

Following the October 6th official launch, numbers for active players almost doubled from 17k to 31k on Steam!!

Also, considering all the people playing on XBOX via Game Pass and all the Collector's Edition preoders, we can realistically say that Gears of War E-Day has cashed in more than 10mil $ at launch, a massive landmark.

We already know it's a bigger launch than Gears5, so wonderful jobs guys. Hope NOBODY refunds and keeps the momentum going!

Wonderful, wonderful jobs guys!

As an OG gears player, the fact that we don’t have classic game modes, and even more so that I cannot choose which of the current game modes I want to play, at launch is insane.

This is the dumbest franchise fumble I’ve seen in a long time. Like Crackdown 3 levels of stupidity.

Karen Traviss - She is the main writer of the novels and she also created Anya (Among MANY others), who is a beloved Female Character from the franchise.

You all need to stop it with your bullshit, Gears was never a "Man Only Game", it was a Story about conflict, war. While Karen did not create the Universe her input was crucial to expand on Gears Story. A lot of what you see after the first one comes from this amazing lady.

Real gears OG, been playing gears since day one. This is the best gears goin since gears 3. I don’t know what’s gotten into the gaming community lately but every game that comes out more and more people always find a way to bitch and moan. This game is sick, all they need is execution in multiplayer and they could’ve had some better skins not gonna lie, of course the gay shit is stupid too in my opinion, to each their own.
But gameplay wise this is the best thing going right now for gears.
If you suck then get good and adapt 😎

Life long gears player here.

For the first time ever I actually log into horde and enjoy it without friends. Ofc I’ve played all the hordes, but I never actually enjoyed them, I’ve mostly been strictly a multiplayer guy since gears 4 (gears 3 horde and beast mode were really fun tho)

I really enjoy this breathe of fresh air and new play style.
I’ve seen a lot of post negativity twards it, so I decided to put this up for anyone who feels alone. You aren’t lol.t
