Gears of War 5 (PC) - Trash Tech Test

This game is awful. Unless they make some substantial changes do not buy it.

As a die hard gears of war fan that read the novels, comic books etc--> The locust were 100% way better than the swarm, Delta Squad was the BOMB, these new guys couldn't care less about them BUT lets get to the game: In the old gears of war games I would always see a BIG difference in the game visually, gameplay-wise, how smooth the controls were. Gears 5 is Gears of War 4.5 !!! 100% DISAPPOINTED to say the least and I didn't even had any expectations LOL

Agreed. The Locust are way better than the swarm in every way. The swarm just feel like generic enemies. Whereas the Locust felt like they had there own uniqueness to each of them. Delta Squad were also much better. Some of these characters in this Gears are terrible. They don't have the same chemistry and banter that Marcus, Dom, Baird, and Cole all had when they were together. I mean the game looks and runs great. But the general gameplay and feel of the game doesn't feel like Gears. It feels clunky and casualised. Compared to much better Gears games like Gears 1, Gears: Ultimate Edition, and hell even Gears 3, this feels bad. It won't last unless they make some serious changes to the core gameplay.

It was a tech test for the multiplayer, lol. You're funny, man. I had a great ass time on it. I can't wait to complete the campaign on the hardest difficulty

I know it was only a test. But it was so bad that it doesn't fill me with any hope that the final game will be any good. I'm hoping they make the necessary changes and that the campaign is good. If they don't however, and the campaign turns out to be meh, this game will become irrelevant quick.
