Yeah the differences seem to be mainly mechanical and balance changes.


Side by side if you not a heavy player you'd think they're the same. Either way I felt like Gears 4 can still be fun for another month before 5 drops. Idk why I waited until a month before 5 drops to rock it but at least I can say I played all of em.

yea we're all late to the party with some games...for example they just dropped all 3 OG doom games yesterday for ps4/switch/xbox the only doom game i played was the 2016 version...thinking bout picking them up...i just started secret of mana on the switch yesterday also....

kinda but not really

1.) in all gears games a perfect active reload gives u a damage boost. in gears 5 it does not.

2.) instead of 8 shots in the gnasher there's only 6 in gears 5...if u perfect active reload with the gnasher in gears 5 it'll refill all your ammo a reg reload will only refill it halfway..

3.).B buttln was used to rev up your lancer in gears 5 its RB...now B is used for the combat knife it replaces the two piece move ppl used to do...

4.) training grounds is def not a map for TDM...its def a E league map shyt feels boxed the fukk in....

5.) the challenges seem more rewarding and thought out...feels like they took a page out of modern warfare 2...

6.) u have to burst fire damn near every rifle/pistole now...in gears 4 u can just hold down RT to shoot the lancer in gears 5 every rifle/pistol has a kick

Burst fire for the lancer and snub is retarded. Just nerf the damage output on both, I wish they bring back the hammer burst as a starting weapon.

You'll have no problem finding KOTH matches at any time on 4, cant speak on the other modes I'm exclusively KOTH

Bootcamp crashed on me about 4 times.
Finally got into multiplayer though.
Game is silky smooth and looks fantastic. Not a huge leap over GOW4 but still a great looking game overall.
Sidenote: I wish devs finally got brightness and HDR settings right.
Every game has different settings and makes getting a sweat spot too much of a chore.
When HDR settings are done right it can look amazing, but I get way too many varying results across games and consoles.
I can't stand games that give you a picture and essentially say "make this image look right".
Give me some gradient boxes or something a bit more precise to go by.

Whelp tech test is over. That shyt sold me. I wasn't feeling the E3 showcase(no MP showed at first and no gameplay footage) but the tech test showed me this series is arguably the smoothest playing TPS out right now.

this has been the case since pt 3 but yall was sleep...but hey im just a Haitian nikka what do i know....:yeshrug: when a gears game drops they hardly show MP footage since gears 3 its been they just drop a beta or show campaign footage thats it...for ppl that dont play gears like that i guess it would make sense you'd wanna see footage....but the OG's we know what we're getting with gears so we dont trip off that...most of us are probably more excited for campaign :blessed:
