Going in on nostalgia bait like this is doing doesn't mean this will be a good game. Gears 5 actually succeeded in evolving the series and it's a shame they rather chase the nostalgia just because gears 5 didn't sell that well then make gears 6 the best game yet. Evolution is a good thing
@theduckofdeath What you mentioned are flaws with shooting. A few frames of extra movement aren't going to rectify it. The aiming system needs to be revamped
@Fenbops We already knew how Marcus came to be the character he was, we don't need a nostalgia cashgrab to remind us of this. Gears 6 was the game many waited for to conclude the gears saga.
Just because this isn't a complete travesty like summer game fest or state of play doesn't mean this is good. Doom was the one good thing about this. We get a gears of war prequel that no one asked for (we wanted gears 6), no banjo kazooie, no everwild, a perfect dark game that looks too generic and doesn't have rare involved, no xbox handheld, too many 2025 games, and a huge focus on a badly aging game series with black ops 6. It would have been a complete disaster if it wasn't for doom.
A prequel is a terrible idea and just confirms gears of war is trying to make money again so will pander to nostalgia rather than continue the great story that began with 4.
Am I the only one that just isn't smoking crack that everyone else is? Because this is not a good showcase at all. Just because it's better than the atrocity of state of play or gamefest doesn't mean it's good.
We have a gears of war prequel no one asked for instead of gears 6, a perfect dark without rare, no banjo kazooie game, and call of duty 6's big feature is extra frames in movement. Literally, extra frames in movement.
It's a D at best and only because doom looks kind of interesting

@theduckofdeath It's literally just more frames of movement instead of trying to make gameplay unique

@RetroMan71 the big deal about black ops 6 is extra frames of movement. That's literally the big feature in this. What a joke

@CallMeDuraSouka Because Xbox didn't give this as much of a push and a lot of reviews were mostly critical of the idea of having a female lead
