I love how the game is so broken that you literally cant even play single player without being able to login to your authentication servers

marshmallow creep posted:So it isn't just me. Nah, in between the homophobic rants about gay flags in the game there's tons of people on Reddit talking about this poo poo too. I think the servers for the game are hosed but also Xbox Live is now broken too so uh I'm not expecting to be able to play tonight.

Two plays sessions and got about 20 minutes in. There's a LAN option, but only for versus because who would ever have two xboxes in the same physical location unless it was esports. A couple hours later we got some good time in, with around 5 drops/crashes and restarts over two hours. Given that they hired the Bloodborne team to do their load times, this is... not a whole lot of play.

This game is pretty fun but 90% of people I've played with have been assholes. Escape mode seems really good if your teammates allow you to have a gun!

So, how does this stack up to Gears 2? Haven't played since then, and I was wondering how this game compares since I jumped on the $2 train.

It's always been more or less the same game with minor improvements, so I'm sure you'll feel right at home. Check out the two movies in the extras menu for a recap of story stuff so you're not totally lost in story mode. Edit: I would really like them to implement some sort of crosshair centered active reload indicator like they had in Synthetik on Steam. I am still getting into the groove of playing the game and hit the active reload about 5% of the time. It would be nice to have something subtle around the crosshair so I don't have to look up in the corner every time I reload. But I guess you can't switch up the formula all that much or people will be upset because things are different now. explosivo fucked around with this message at 19:10 on Sep 7, 2019 |

Have to say that the graphical performance is extraordinary, my 6700k/1080ti is getting on a bit now and hasn't been able to do actual 4k60 on any game released in the last year and a half, but it's managing to do exactly that with Gears 5 even though it's one of the best looking games on the market. The dynamic resolution is imperceptible, and won't even let the game drop a single frame unlike pretty much every other game with the same option. There is some crazy talent at the Coalition. I'm looking forward to trying the PC splitscreen, got a mate coming around later and it'll be wicked over a few beers and a takeaway. A game of this quality, I actually feel like I'm kinda robbing MS a little here since I'm playing it via xbox game pass which was only 2. It's an absolute no-brainer at that price.

Yeah, I'm impressed at how smooth and solid it feels I have a RX480 and an old i7 2700k and it can do 1440p/60 with a mix of high and ultra. I think Doom was the last time a game felt and looked so impressive. Also keen to try split screen. My daughter comes round tomorrow, she might want to try the robot. gently caress, she might want to be a sweaty space soldier, we'll see. Sadly, it's still crashing like a motherfucker for me. Yesterday it wouldn't get past the intro, but today, I'm at least into the first chapter. It's so random. Sometimes in-game, sometimes a menu or cut scene. It's dxgmms2.sys Blue Screen, sometimes "page_fault_in_nonpaged_area", other times "system_thread_exception_not_handled" Sometimes it doesn't even give an error, it just switches off. The gently caress? Tried everything I've seen online, spent hours now, actually tempted to put a fresh windows install on another drive and see if that works

Stupid question. But I assume keyboard right? If controller on PC, with the server lag, Im getting bad input lag on controller. On keyboard, its been real smooth for me. It just takes a little getting used to. The running stuff on keyboard is a big adjustment for me. I think it may be something that may take some time to get used to.

I'm not sure controller input delay has anything to do with server lag, movement and aiming is client-side and the issue would have affected m/kb in that case as well. I'm not getting any input delay on controller so it's an issue on your end.

There was tons of delay in Gears 4, I haven't fully tested on 5 since I've played most multiplayer in either laggy matches or on PC where there is none.

I like the idea of Gears going open world like God of War did, but Im not really feeling much in the exploration aspect like GoW had. I kinda wish they went a bit more into it. Even if they did something weird and put more RPG elements I dont know.

I'm finding the wayfinding really annoying. I have no idea how to get to Carmine from some fountain area in act 1 and I'm tired of looking. I have like one loving hour per week to play games and don't want to spend it pixel hunting. About to turn it off Edit: after watching a YouTube it just didn't trigger a cinematic so there was nothing I could do. Cool Edit 2: and it's happening again after the next wave of enemies. No dialogue, no idea what to do. You'd think they'd at least have ironed out the bugs in the Xbox version Edit: and rebooting sent me back 20 minutes. Fun. About ready to give up on this game halfway through act one. UnfortunateSexFart fucked around with this message at 07:30 on Sep 8, 2019 |

I mean, you wanna go for headshots typically. But yeah, the enemies are mostly giant hunks Of walking meat, so they can take some punishment. I like using the Longshot and popping heads from afar, mostly. The active reload makes sniping a lot more fun.

I played through gears 1, 2, and about 10 hours of gears 4. Ive been playing a lot of FPS destiny stuff lately but the shooting in this just seems like a qte that includes an aiming mini-game. Like keep a terribly floaty point on a target while holding a button, play line up the lines to reload, continue to keep floaty point on target. The enemies dont really feel like enemies, just too mushy. I dunno. Also, why does everyone have such a barrel chest? I wonder if its genetic or gravity skews them or something. And whats with Marcus line, its not the weapons I distrust, but the people using them.?? Holy poo poo NRA much? Blind Rasputin fucked around with this message at 08:32 on Sep 8, 2019 |

I think that might be him displeased with the people running Gearsworld constantly loving over everyone with their experiments and insane bullshit, rather than an NRA buy-in. Just maybe.

RBA Starblade posted:Didn't Bloodborne have minute long loads at launch that's the worst possible way to use From Yes, but considerably longer than a minute. Fortunately that game wasn't a technical dumpster fire, so while the load times were annoying at least it was only when you died/warped. Here you're constantly sitting through 3+ loading screens because you hit yet another of the game's many problems.

Just beat the campaign and honestly the game could have ended at act 2's finale and I feel like nothing would change story wise. Act 3 & 4 felt like they were spinning their wheels. And whoooo boy that ending was bad. Also did anyone else feel like most of the combat areas were oddly narrow? I found it incredibly difficult to flank until like act 4. Multiplayer is a blast though. Kind of hope they balance out that melee hammer because the range on that thing is insane.

Just reached act 3, not a big fan of this desert planet. It feels like it was done on a significantly lower budget than everything before it. Graphics take a nosedive, the planet is very plain, lots of poorly-textured copy-paste buildings placed down with no rhyme or rhythm, etc. Hopefully it picks up again.
