Probably because it's the actual full version of the game I'd say. There will be a lot of fashionable criminals running around vice city when the game drops haha π
@badboidre My phone is old as sin my friend it was β¬200 brand new I have it about 3 years now to be honest I'll keep it another year at least. Never been on that band wagon myself and seems my gaming future will be the same it's becoming crazy my friend no doubt about that! Rap music was and will always be best late 80s throughout till the mid to late 2000s for me anyways! So blessed I grew up in the era I did!
@Gabrie Totally agree with your points made the world today is so warped due to the internet and especially social media I'm so happy my childhood didn't have any of that crap in it god bless the kids nowadays what they are exposed too it's sickening.
After playing a good few hours on both modes I deleted the beta! I don't think the new seige mode is enjoyable at all to play for me anyways unfortunately.
@Balaam_ You should probably just play bluey or paw patrol games if you are that set on getting 100% in every game.
I have a very good friend who will only play a game if he is sure he can 100% the achievements.
Games going forward will always have tedious achievements no doubt some of those achievements are the best to get for the effort put into getting them.
They are meant to be challenging not mandatory to unlock!
@badboidre Well I do like the controls it's just the modes really i don't enjoy sweaty multiplayer anymore on gears and I just found the seige mode dispite finding a team of very good players to play with I just wasn't enjoying it at all I played two games of the longer type seige ina row and ended up deleting the beta straight away and jumping on something enjoyable and relaxing
The games are too long the objectives are too spread out and the bosses are just unreasonably bullet spongey.
Also I don't see any reason why we need to have three other teams running around the same map apart from the odd help for and from another team it's pointless.
If I want to play something like that I'll play Helldivers 2 at least that's actually enjoyable to play.
I'd say the campaign will be amazing in E-day but my time with the multiplayer portion of these games is probably at an end now unfortunately I'd rather old school standard horde tbh it's a shame gears multiplayer especially was huge for me for years but it's just not fun in this version
I mean a couple games have had an achievement for getting all the others in the game elden ring off the top of my head. I'm not really for it but I don't really care aswell haha π
I'll pretty much be on E-day beta this weekend trying to get all the beta unlockables.
I could probably start resident evil 5 but I don't know!
Happy weekend folks πͺ
Update: deleted the E day beta neither mode is enjoyable to play in reality!
@badboidre Seems so my friend I barely have used them since the 360 era but yeah they all die the series x though is especially surprising but I only tried DVD's and cd's in fairness!
My series x disc drive is dead as far as I know without any use mind you so this won't work for me. Unless the VCR Xbox one rises like the undertaker haha π My Xbox disc drives have always been terrible!
@Fiendish-Beaver Yeah I find it a little annoying to play to be honest has Helldivers 2 elements but nothing as good as that and team work is normally non existent! Makes me want to play Helldivers 2 if anything tbh! I'll still play it in the full release try get the achievements but other than that I've no want to play. I'd say the campaign will be amazing tbh from the gameplay but that's probably it. I'll try out multiplayer tomorrow and over Sunday see how that is the only problem is I'm most likely very bad now haha π
@Fiendish-Beaver After playing the new mode for a good few hours today I'd have to agree with you I'd prefer a standard horde mode so far I don't think I'd still have any want to play this years later like horde on gears 5. It's not that enjoyable to play hopefully a normal horde mode could eventually be added. The new movement though I love!
Hopefully it lives up to the hype I have my doubts the lack of gameplay trailers or any trailers is strange to say the least unless they always planned on monitizing trailers like they have with Netflix. I hope I'm wrong but I'm starting to doubt how good this will actually be GTA V still is a top tier game to play nowadays it's not guaranteed they can beat that. Obviously it will sell more but that could be it.
@fatpunkslim I played the gears multiplayer religiously from gears 2 through to gears 4 and I love the new control system I agree the series needed it but I still get some series veterans not liking it. I do know there is an option to change the controls to the older style for those missing how it feels but I haven't tried it myself. When they change the controls so much there will obviously be some who don't really like it.
Only had one game each of the multiplayer seigh blitz and the other one movement will take getting used to no doubt enemies seem to take a huge amount of damage in horde and come out of nowhere also I don't understand the upgrade system haha.
Multiplayer was good it will take a while to get used to aswell but I'm looking for to jumping on and playing more tonight.
I think a new movement system like this was needed for gears you can still move like old gears games but it just requires more thought now.
My old buddy on gears SAS Shadowz has a YouTube channel dedicated to gears if anyone has tips on how to move in the game it should be him π
@badboidre Ah some people are arses my dude! I've had my fair share of crap here aswell some people just need to be right or have there opinions accepted as fact or need to pick holes in what you do or don't say. Kill them with kindness and logic is how I do now here haha works more than you would think! The Fool's! πΉ
@Fiendish-Beaver Have you tried it yet I think it's really good so far only played one game on rookie because it's the daughter's time on the Xbox but I enjoyed the new mode. I'll definitely play this exclusively for while it's available the new movement it's very refreshing and natural feeling.
@badboidre Hopefully not but I'm not liking the tone the game has come across with so far hopefully I'm wrong but yeah. Maybe the younger crowd could be there target now considering how well GTA online did with that crowd.
@MinervaX76 Fable has a strong chance of being game of the year next year with how it's looking so far. In my opinion it should be on every system it can be even switch 2 especially considering the light hearted tone of the game.
@Fiendish-Beaver Yes exactly because the controls and feel of playing the game is exactly the same it would of been on release day of gears! Mutton dressed as lamb as they say haha π
@Fiendish-Beaver No worries my dude π but I do agree not putting multiplayer in halo campaign evolved seems like a massive missed opportunity to me! I'm hopeful eventually it could come even as paid dlc.
@Fiendish-Beaver Reloaded did have multiplayer attached my friend but the problem was it's gears 1 multiplayer which is extremely clunky and feels dated compared to recent gears games multiplayer
Regardless of the hate this game is getting I'm really enjoying playing through it again a lot more than I thought I would of before it released!
My only major gripe would be there's no animation transferring from driving to shooting the gun on the warthog you just zap there!
Any other issues are not really effecting me I don't expect every game to have perfect resolution or fps nor do I need it to have fun!
@fatpunkslim Yeah either way we are the winners getting two modes I can't wait aswell to play the game I'll probably only play this while the beta is on I hope you enjoy it buddy π
Call me cynical but I guessing this was always the plan every gears that had a beta always had pvp multiplayer included.
But if we make out like we added it for the "fans" is a win that's how I see it anyways.
Don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining outside!
I'm starting to get excited for this now depending on how it is to play I'll most likely play nothing but this while the beta is live! Also with that being the install size of the beta I'd say the full game with take up a hell of a lot of space.
@N1ceDreams I'm still having fun personally gamingπ
I think people get far too involved in the politics within gaming instead of just enjoying there hobby there's plenty of great games released this year and many more to come!
We aren't paid to care about that stuff just have some fun π
When we were kids gaming did any of us give a crap about all this stuff??
@MinervaX76 Maybe for those games yes but obviously Microsoft owned companies will continue releasing games on playstation.
Either way I don't care I don't worry about what games other console users can play on different consoles.
People will be negative about anything Microsoft does regardless
@Gabrie New gears is console exclusive to Xbox playstation literally got the worst version of the worst gears game same aswell with halo a single game with just campaign no multiplayer. It's not really that much or impressive the games that where ported they are still very much Xbox games.
