    Gears of War | Just how low is Gears 5’s player population?

    Just how low is Gears 5’s player population?

    Posted: 25 Mar 2020 04:43 PM PDT

    I play on US West if that means anything. I'm also judging by the 'Most Played' section of the store on my Xbox.

    Gears 5 is currently behind Fallout 76. Black Ops 2, a 360 title from 2012, is right behind Gears 5. Gears 5 is currently 2 games away from being off the list entirely. This is really sad especially for what is supposed to be one of Xbox's best exclusive IPs.

    How do you manage to mess up Gears of War so bad that it's behind Fallout 76??? This counts all modes too not just Versus. So that's with everyone playing Campaign, Horde, Escape and Versus.

    Gears 5 needs to go into full ‘Damage Control’ mode

    Posted: 25 Mar 2020 05:06 PM PDT

    The game is seriously on its dying breaths. No one even remembers that this game exists let alone do they want to play it at all. Here's some changes that should be made to save what's left.

    • Remove the Store entirely. Yep, you heard me. The Store (combined with barely any launch content) is what killed this game before it even had a chance. It's too greedy and it's Gears of War so it's already an uphill battle to get people to stick around. You need to convince people to care about this franchise, not nickel and dime them right when they start the game up. No one is going to deal with this and they obviously saw the Store and moved to a different game. First impressions are more important than ever before with so many other games to play. People don't want to wait for you to get it together they will just move to another game PLEASE UNDERSTAND THIS. Game Pass allowed you to basically give the game to everyone for free and they still don't even want to play it. Place Store content in the Tour of Duty/Operations or even in the XP level ups and Re-Ups. Then just sell XP Boosters.

    • Abandon the idea of making characters with special stuff for Arcade and Horde/Escape. This slows down the flow of content we actually care about and it's another thorn in the game's side. The game needs more content and it needs content updates faster. Just focus on making characters to throw into Versus. Do the ability creation/balancing later.

    • Make Campaign DLC. The Campaign is easily the best part of the entire game. People have always enjoyed Campaign DLC and a lot of us have been waiting for some since Gears 2 and 3 Campaign DLCs. If you want to get people to care about this game then make DLC like this that will actually grab people's attention.

    This is coming from a place of love. I've been a huge Gears fan ever since the first game. It sickens me to see such a great franchise slowly go down the toilet. I was vocal back with Gears 4 and I'll keep being vocal with this game until you guys finally get it right.

    Imagine lambent Reavers or Corpsers

    Posted: 26 Mar 2020 12:51 AM PDT

    Reaver could retain it's flight, but be larger and used as a troop transport instead of used by the ground forces in the fight. The lambent Corpsers could be a boss, spewing out polyps to harass the player while also filling the arena with imulsion vapor.

    Cole actually works really well with the hero system.

    Posted: 25 Mar 2020 05:54 AM PDT

    Cole is the first character that I think is really creative and takes advantage of this hero shooter system. Cole having a passive that actively changes the way he plays and grants him new abilities, in a lore friendly way is great and is actually something I'm excited to try. Hopefully, TC will have more unique Characters like this in the future. What are your guys thoughts?

    This new operation needs to be Ryan Cleven’s last chance as the lead director

    Posted: 25 Mar 2020 06:04 PM PDT

    Gears 5 is the worst gears ever (worse than GoW J). From the input delay, to the trash gnashes changes that no one asks for, the broken knife and bullet magnetism he shamelessly refused to fix for months and the extremely overpriced cosmetics. This operation needs to be his last chance or gears is going to lose A LOT of population (as it already has).

    4, 5 and Ultimate Edition

    Posted: 25 Mar 2020 03:43 PM PDT

    With the whole pandemic going on, I have been spending some time playing my favorite game franchise in Gears. I also ran out of xbox live membership so I have been spending time strictly on campaign. I recently beat 5 on normal an I felt a certain "high" doing so. Like I had energy and wanted that energy to continue. It went above my expectations. So I continued to play different Gears games but this time I went back to ultimate edition. I had started campaign progress four years ago but I had stopped playing to focus more on multiplayer. I went back to the campaign to where I had left off and thought that I had been playing on insane the entire time considering how hard the game was very early on in the game. I didnt know that I was actually playing on hardcore until I had defeated Ram at the end of the game. It felt great defeating Ram and It made me want to continue the story.

    This time I jumped back into four. Before deciding to completely start over then continue progress to whatever I was doing four years ago, I saw online that 4 was considered the hardest campaign playing on insane according to one redditor. This made me not think twice about choosing to play hardcore. I beat 1 and 2 on insane but I have less patience back then than I do now. I see the percentages of people who have actually completed these games on campaign and the percentages are 1-5%.

    4 immediately got me emotional, I almost cried when they took away Kaits uncle and mom. Kait dosent seem nearly as confident as she was in 5. Innocent really.

    When Myrrah comes out someone please make a gears 3 comparison to gears 5 with her

    Posted: 25 Mar 2020 01:59 PM PDT

    Gears 3 her model was perfect. Her face had attitude and just looked good, just seemed so perfect/natural. Her armor as well was spot on.

    Gears 4, while I didn't play it, I paid decent attention to it. Gears 4 she had anyas face apparently (it was way off compared to gears 3) and her armor was also different. It just looked eh...

    The armor looked iffy because I believe it used a brighter red for her cloth (especially her lower part) instead of the muddy red that was used for the locust in gears 1-3. UE started this trend of using a brighter red for some reason for the locust and their guns which I disliked.

    So I'm hoping that in gears 5, her face is more like gears 3 (or the same as it) and her armor is this muddy red that was used for the locust and their guns in gears 1-3 as well as herself in gears 3. Her armor also had small details changed (removed) which I disliked, again, in her leg area.

    So yeah would appreciate that thanks! I can finally play the game when she's released lol.

    Dumb question, about mic/speaker icon...

    Posted: 25 Mar 2020 04:56 PM PDT

    I've just started playing Gears 5 online. This is the first time I've played online since Gears 1. Back then, when you spoke into the mic the speaker icon would appear next to your name in the team/players screen. Now, it only shows the icon when others speak, but not when you speak. Is there any visual cue in the game that confirms that your mic is working, or reminds you visually if you left your mic on?

    Maps

    Posted: 25 Mar 2020 06:19 PM PDT

    Am i the only one that wants the 5 ported gears 4 maps removed? I played them for three years already and they are not even aesthetically different. Rather play just the "new" ones.
