For years I've said that Gears of War needs change.
Even with all my success in Esports over the last 10+ years I fully believe the core gameplay causes so many inconsistencies especially during online play. It's too hard to balance/perfect the speed and damage, the Servers have never been good or accurate enough, the animations make no sense especially in Gears 5 etc.
Gears is extremely hard for newcomers to enjoy because of this as well a lack of casual modes for them. When Reloaded dropped I was playing vs PlayStation players who have genuinely never played in their lives, of course they're gonna put the game down and never touch it again.. it's 2026 man, most human beings don't want to sit there and put 200 hours into a game just to get past the inital learning curve.
If it was up to me I would love a Gears 2/3 style game. I'd love for it to be super cutthroat and hard to be good at like it used to be, but that's selfish.
I want Gears of War: E-Day to succeed and I fully believe that changing the mechanics of the game gives it a better chance. I do hope that whatever Multiplayer looks and plays like, it rewards good players who use their brains. That's my only request 🫡
@WhiteHouse Middle class, I received $155 from state and federal (total) because I worked 200hrs of overtime and tax man said I would have paid in, if I didn’t!
