Gears 5

I was excited to replay this! Big fan of the game on Xbox Series, so seeing it on sale I nabbed it. That was my first mistake. There are two critical problems at a technical level with this: - It has a six-hour-long unskippable cutscene advertising, unreal, the coalition, microsoft, jesus and the mother mary, your least favourite political party, and cheetos before you can get in. This can't be disabled unless you hex edit a file, which you'll have to do again if you ever need to repair your install. - The audio subsystem switches your bluetooth headphones into headset (22khz) mode, because some incel back at the coalition decided everyone should default to having a hot mic, even if voice chat is disabled in game. If you disable this at a hardware/driver level in Windows, the audio is just a stutter-fest. There is also the minor problem of needing to log in with your MSFT account, even if you're already logged in to 16 other MSFT games and the Xbox app on your system. Apparently this xbox game is different to the other xbox games? While a good technical achievement on Xbox, the PC port is a travesty for very basic features and functions. If you're patient to sit through long startup screens, and aren't playing with headphones, maybe you won't be irritated. I'm sure you'll find something else to be irritated about tho! (On the good side, it performs really well and the gameplay remains top notch, but I can't recommend the more functional side of the technical state of this port).

Just don't bother. While the game is well-optimized with abundant graphical settings, and has some clever mechanics that improve on the Gears of War formula, It is an absolute MESS. The game's experience has Inconsistent vibes, a story that seems like it was made to insult you and make you feel bad, and bugs galore. I will give the game a bit more credit for having updates, bots for offline/custom multiplayer modes and some neat references to past games. But every time I play this game it gets me hooked for a few hours and then something will happen like a game-breaking bug, crappy level design, horrendous pacing, and requiring me to plug in my bluetooth headphones. (stop creeping on people micro$oft, why do you need to listen to people sweating?) There is potential, and I hope "The Coalition" learned from their mistakes in this game before they made 'E-day'. But after giving this game 2 chances and more hours than it deserves, I simply CAN NOT recommend it unless you buy it for less than $5. And for what it's worth, Gears 1 is one of my all-time favorite games. In fact, if you're really itching for a Gears experience on PC then I say go for the reloaded version, but even then only on sale as well.

game is fun just having a issue with the game save error that boots me back to the menu

当电影看不亏，当游戏玩体验太差劲

Very boring game it has nothing to offer. Random boogey man appears out of forest and you just shoot them and that's it. Feels like this game was made for very young audience. . Maybe i'm too old for this game. Too much fantasy garbage in this game. Maybe nerds will like this game. Remember hulk movies when the green guy gets angry and screams raaawwwrrw raaawwwr. Yeah it's exactly like that. Absolutely pile of vomit. Graphics okay but other than that piece of crap. I don't know what i expected from this game but yeah it's not for me. Huge waste of money for sure. Trailer was made much better than the whole game.

I would rather blowtorch my ♥♥♥♥ then play this again

Lixo, uma porcaria. A cada 5 segundos tem uma piada, o mundo acabando e eles terça feira, tudo colorido, faltou testosterona

Aside from the bugs and the bot teammates blocking your line of sight, using your cover spots, and trying to kill you or themselves, the game is still pretty darn solid!
