I like the game but for some reason i feel exhausted playing after 30 mins and have to quit. just got to chapter 2 after a few weeks. Game is drop dead gorgeous on PC though, cool thing is I can play at the same time on PC and xbox (login under a diff account but gamepass "works" on my X since its my "home" console) and join my own game and compare visuals, etc.

Just started playing the Campaign in co-op with a buddy from work, having a blast! He's on Xbox, I'm on PC (Ult Game Pass) and the experience has been seamless.
Almost everything cranked to Ultra with High Rez texture pack installed. Drop-dead gorgeous game, and runs like hot shit off a shiny shovel. Highly recommended.

this cost like $400m, is exclusive to xbox (and PC), and is supposed to turn it around for xbox LOL. does anyone even give a fuck anymore about gears? i'll probably play at some point since its free with gamepass but i'm not even sure i finished gears 5. i think i did, but remember nothing.

I never got the appeal of gears at all. It was a dumbed down cover shooter for console tards.

Gears is quite generic yes, it's mostly another waist-high-wall-ducker, everything-looks-grey shooter.
However I'd say the stories for the first three games were quite decent, the world was quite unique and the story had some interesting twists and some definite gut-punches.
After that when it started to become the adventures of the little kids of the old main team I stopped paying attention to it, but since this one is going back to before the first game, perhaps the story could add some actually interesting stuff.
Yes I play shooters for the story.

Through act 2 now. Wouldn't of thought that it was made by the same team that brought 4 and 5 (because they weren't good IMO). The token chick in the squad is actually likeable, and we're back to Dom & Marcus killing locust. Gotta give it to the lighting guys - they killed it. Feels very good so far.

I just watched Peanut, Nickmercs, Hutch, Cloakzy, marathon the whole campaign on the hardest difficulty and from what I saw it looked very generic. I started watching around the end of chapter three or the start of four I think. I never played gears so I have no connection to the characters but from

post above the story fits from what you would expect from them. They tried to push too much bromance or emotion that just felt off from the cut scenes i saw. These hardend badass warriors are up in their feels. Typical with todays writing. The game was loaded with bugs from the sky not loading in, random deaths, characters not able to traverse obstacles, and a permanent red screen.
Nick said the game was absolute trash not worthy of a rating.
Cloakzy gave it a 5
Hutch said it was a 6.
Their main complaints were the bugs, writing, the final boss fight was very underwhelming for the hype and build up, and lastly its only like three PIO's that you visit and revisit.
Edit: oh yea, since Hutch hosted, he was the only one that got credit for completing the campaign.

That whole crew is the least reputable group I'd listen to, personally. They're streamers. They want huge reaction dense content. Nick still does peepee-poopoo jokes at 40 years old. Haven't seen too much 'feels' related stuff. The beginning of the game starts w/ them honoring Dom's brother, who died. That IS gears though - there is emotive writing. Go play Gears 2 or 3. I think if those guys wanted something w/ out any sort of dialogue and braindead killing that's pure fun, Doom the Dark Ages is right there. Don't get me wrong, I despise ham-fisted progressive stuff into my game franchises, but I can also be objective too, and I don't see much of it here. This isn't Dragon Age Origins -> Dragon Age Veilguard by any stretch.I just watched Peanut, Nickmercs, Hutch, Cloakzy, marathon the whole campaign on the hardest difficulty and from what I saw it looked very generic.

First game has a lot of charm. I like the characters and the game play is fun, nothing complicated. Sometimes I just want to jump into a game and not think about 5 million different systems before firing a gun.

Wait, wasn't the whole thing about a rainbow flag that it included a bunch of colors and represented all of those "minorities"? If they have a flag for each now, isn't it back to not being a community?
This whole alphabet mafia thing gets really confusing at times.
