Gears of War: Reloaded

Game crashed within 13 minutes of playtime.

Only grab this up if it's on a minimal 10$ sale homies. I've played through each version of GOW & this version is practically the original with a face lift, so you get what's expected plus some minor extras are present like multiplayer weapon skins & unlockable comics. Other than looking a bit cleaner graphically it doesn't stray far at all from the OG art style unless you miss muddy textures with an overlaid grain effect on everything, gameplay is the same GOW basics fans are accustom to. You get a solid campaign that still holds up playable in single or co-op with one of the sweatiest PVP multiplayers, new players will have a difficult time since lobbies are mostly filled with the exact type of players you would expect to still be playing & trying so hard.

I never played the original GoW and I´m only recommending this game based in the story campaign, as i usually don´t care about multiplayer. However, i do have some complains. First, some of the checkpoints are very annoying, locate just before cutscenes (luckily this are skippable) Second, in at least three occasion an enemy was able to attack me while my character was talking through the radio, incapable of defending himself and barely able to move.

pro's only shtick

For those who don't know this is not a remake, this is a remaster of the original 2006 game and wow did they do a great job game is such incredible attention to detail in its graphics. As someone who never played gears before, its ok. its gameplay is pretty basic, I understand at the time this was a huge thing and next games in the series improves on things, but it would have been nice if it had more gameplay depth like new weapons or better melee or somthing. The heavy movement is mostly ok though it can be frustrating when you are trying to dodge away from a enemy when you get it and sometimes it just doesn't work. melee is pretty bad as its just hold down the button and run into an enemy for a animation. Its story was also fine i guess, it wasn't bad but i wasn't really invested. the biggest issue in my opinion for most people who play this is the level design is 2006 so its very very very repetitive not just in the actual shooting but in the same environments as well against the same 4 enemy types. And its such a shame cuz i really liked the locust section of the game as it did switch things up, but only happens for one level and never seen again. Overall its a excellent remaster as the game looks amazing, but since this was the first game in the series it does get boring after a while, but looking it in the context of 2006 this was groundbreaking. Believe it or not I actually enjoyed Inversion more, yes its story is really stupid and yes it gets repetitive too, but there is better movement, more weapons, better 3rd person cover shooting overall, special powers and better bosses. I'd recommend people trying that game

I'm only recommending this on a caveat, and I have not played the multiplayer yet, so this is based on campaign only. I bought it for £10 just to play the campaign again. And I'm aware I'm ragging on an old game, but bear with me here. I started the game on the second last difficulty and that was my first mistake. Don't get me wrong, if you've played Gears games before, it's actually fairly easy. Nail your active reloads, prioritise anything that can instakill you, respect the gnasher, use the right tool for the job etc etc. What makes it a nightmare is actually Marcus and his merry band of porn stars (Them. It's entirely them). See, the AI in this game is abysmal. I probably didn't notice this when I played it as a kid, but your squad will spend more time on their hands and knees in front of big, burly grey dudes than actually fighting. They read a battlefield like Helldivers 2 players read in general; They can't. Snipers? Let's stand out in the open! Drones with gnashers and a horde of wretches? Sit back and let them get close, then stare at them hoping they die. Every now and again they will be useful, but other than that? Worthless. Dom's weirdly the worst, like his code is even more ♥♥♥♥♥♥ than the rest. He plays like a Sierra main in Overwatch. Does this cute left right strafe, gets cocky, runs head first into 5 enemies, dies and then sits and whines about it while you're left to pick up the pieces. How you're supposed to get anything done on harder difficulties is beyond me. Gotta restore powe- Dom's dead, can't. Holy crap, that's a Brum- Ope, Dom's dead. "Marcus, I want a baby" "Sorry Anya, Dom's dead again". Maybe this was subtle foreshadowing for the future games, who knows. He also gets stuck constantly so it's more like a horror game where the other person conveniently can't come with you, but instead of cardboard boxes and clingfilm blocking their way to you, Dom's superglued his ass to a wall again. My advice is this: If you've never played a GoW game before, set it to one of the first two difficulties so you can enjoy the story and the banter and the characters. That's what's great about this game. You won't be sweating your ass off and pulling your hair out while your team of Joe Swanson impersonators crawl around on the floor like Velma just dropped her glasses. Overall, the story's great, the characters are great, from what I remember way back the multiplayer was hella fun but the campaign is a drag.

NNICE! Even better than I remembered! One of the old but gold coop games.
