Ok so Gears 4 ended up flopping, is there even a remote possibility of something promising from M$?

Got news for ya: TC was rushed to the emergency room, had so many shoes stuck where the skin swirls that immediate surgery to remove them was necessary.

I just started the Gears campaign. It feels like a choir or a punishment to play. I've never been a big Gears fan, none of the other Gears games I have felt like that much of a grind to get through.

The fact that Shadow Warrior 2 scored higher than Gears (7) here, to answer the question....NO.

what does playing with a choir feel like?

HEYO!

To the OP - I guess if the rules are GS Scores only, then it flopped, but clearly in the grand scheme of gamerdom its getting a good reception.

Anyway if anyone would like a code for Gears of War 1, 3 or Judgement PM me, since you get all the Gears games with 4 and I only didn't have 2. Will only give 1 code per person.

@xantufrog: Like playing a game not for fun, forcing yourself to play the game because I have paid full price for it.

I'm telling you now it is completely unplayable on the Xbone...

Can you elaborate?

Lets face it, Gears 4 flopped. You know it, I know it, everybody knows it.

Where did it flop? According to Metacritic:

  • Xbox One: 84 Score
  • Microsoft Windows: 87 Score
  • 68 Positive Reviews
  • 8 Mixed Reviews
  • 0 Negative Reviews

And finally, according to the big kahuna:

Digital Foundry Face Off: Gears of War 4

A technological masterpiece for both Xbox One and PC.

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2016-gears-of-war-4-face-off

Ultimately, there are is a lot to take away from this experience here. On Xbox One, this is one of the most technically accomplished titles yet released for the platform. With impeccable image quality, steady performance, and a whole host of modern visual effects, it's truly one of the best looking games on the console. We're eager to see how this version of the game is transformed for the arrival of Scorpio next year as well.

The PC version impresses even more due in part to the poor track record of UWP ports this year. Gears of War 4 on the PC runs like a dream on a wide variety of platforms and features one of the most robust set of options we've seen as of late. The Xbox Play Anywhere feature also works supremely well making it possible to switch back and forth seamlessly between PC and Xbox One gameplay. The saves carry right over and all of the messaging is clear so you're never left wondering if your progress will be overwritten.

Gears 4 also marks a high point for Epic's Unreal Engine 4, which had yet to be featured in a big budget AAA experience until now. This remarkable engine has played a key role in allowing The Coalition to deliver a beautiful, highly optimised release on a grand scale. There's little doubt that Gears of 4 lives up to its predecessors. While the visuals may not impress quite as much as Gears of War in 2006, which came at a time when graphics techniques were shifting dramatically, it's still remarkably impressive all around.

Overall then, The Coalition has delivered in spades. Gears of War 4 hits all the right marks and the end results are beautiful to behold. If you choose to buy the game digitally, the Play Anywhere feature means that you don't even need to choose which version you'd like to play as both are included. It's been a strong year for Microsoft's first party studios but Gears of War 4 might just be its best release yet.

Looks like you stand alone Ghost. Better luck on your trolling next time.

I'm not surprised by this DF report. Gears 4 plays amazing on XOne(well Im playing it on the S actually, but that shouldn't really make a difference). No screen tearing, no noticeable frame drops even when there is insane action going on. Very nice textures with larger than life characters and enemies. I must have played it over 30 hours easily now, and the game has not crashed 1 single time on me.

And don't even get me started on the online performance. While some people may have had issues, I don't think I've ever played a console game that has performed so well online. The only issues I had were during the early access period it would sometimes take a few minutes to enter a match, but most happened quickly enough. During a match though, once I was in a game, zero lag. 20 ping connection to their US East servers and the game plays absolutely incredible online, I never felt I missed a shot or even experienced any of the nonsense I might have experienced last gen or even this gen....for instance Battlefield usually has turbulent online at launch, and they have this thing where you sometimes teleport backwards as you walk forward, it snaps you back to a few seconds ago.

This level of polish caught me by surprise because I felt the dev cycle was a little short, and for other reasons too because this gen it's happened a lot with other game releasing before they were 100% ready.

Gears has been an amazing game so far. The amount of polish is great and the online has no lag at all.

@Alucard_Prime: you are not alone in your experience. That seems to be the overall consensus.

Love that you are enjoying it!!

Has gears of war flopped, it had 9s on most gaming sites and it's likely to sell well

Everyone XB1 owner ive talked to loves it.

why are cows so obsessed with gears?? like all the xbox owners I know love it.

That's easily explainable since lems have low standards. Cows are merely trying to educate them on what real gaming feels like. TLHBO.

Cows play braindead movie games, lolwat

...Gears 4 was a VERY fun game...

...the shooting is the most solid i've ever seen...

Sounds like you had a good time with it? So what's the issue?

I can't hang with these new SW tactics, I'm lost.

lol at the pic. I'm off work in about 30 minutes or so. Going to play it when I get home!
