Worse than expected. Seems like Microsoft won't get positive reviews this generation no matter what.

You are a troll I know but still I will go ahead and reply once that It's around 85 and going up as more positive reviews coming .

 

[Spukc]

85 already a good score but trust ponies to make 85 bad score.

8.5 for a tripple A title might as well be a 6 these days

5.5

 

[splattered]

Super hyped for the game.

Sad to see some lowball review scores tarnishing the averages.

People that don't like xbox or already don't like the series SHOULDN'T be assigned to review the game. That stands for any game in my opinion. "well, normally I think SHMUPS are lame and crappy games, but this one is ok so i'll be generous and give it a 7" When everyone else is giving it 8's and 9's.

Anything 10/10 isn't realistic, but at the same time anything 3/5 or 7/10 just sticks out as click bait trash.

 

[Arachnid]

No we don't

Speak for yourself.

Holy crap, I can't wait for Gears 5. Phenomenal multiplayer

Maybe Halo can break the trend

Those ratings are weird for Gears (spot on for Halo though unfortunately). I've played the hell out of every entry since 2 (never played multiplayer for 1), and each has been a solid improvement over the one prior in every way.

 

[Jigsaah]

Day 1 on Gamepass too...im not a gears fan per se but i will be playing this. Nice job Microsoft and the Coalition

 

[Hawke502]

What i don't agree though is that some sites are saying that it "playing like gears" is a bad thing, why would they need to change the combat system when its one of the best of the genre? I really don't see gears changing its core gameplay for the better.

 

[mckmas8808]

S

Stop whinning. Reviews are opinion of one person. Go ask him why he gave 10.

LOL! What?

I guess they wanted a reboot in terms of gameplay. Critics are weird like that.

Fallout 4 is the very definition of a 6
Broken and barely working.

If fo4 got that grade damn ratings truly are broken af

If i could get to talk to one of those reviewers i would ask: "what would you change in the gameplay? how could you make it better? what do you think its missing?" Because to me, it seems they are simply asking change for the sake of change, you don't change something that works.

They would run away.

I can't believe a publication gave this a 10/10. That's not a knock against Gears 5, which I haven't played--it's just that there's no possible way it can be 10/10. That's 100% good. The absolute pinnacle of video games. Four-decades-of -video-games-have-brought-us-to-this-moment type of shit. The best video game of all time.

Sorry games journalist, I say no way.

Really? How many 10/10s did RDR2 get and at least to me and many others it had many annoying quirks, was boring as hell and had horrible controls & gameplay.

I haven't played it yet either, but I have a strong suspicion Gears 5 will be much closer to a 10/10 than RDR2 was for me.

 

[Rien]

Worse than expected. Seems like Microsoft won't get positive reviews this generation no matter what.

Their pretty positive tho?

I didnt like 4 but will give this a play tomorrow. Reviews are good!

Famn, RDR2 raised the bar for videogame development in a lot of ways. It set a new benchmark for several aspects, but unfortunately, gameplay and mission design was not one of them.

 

[Lionel Richie]

Nice! Great to see MS breaking out of their relative slump.

Piss off pricks don't laugh at me. I'm not usually this dumb

Don't just assume people who don't love it don't like the series, or xbox. That's ridiculous. And honestly, I've never seen a single member of the press who gives a crap about console wars.

I gave Gears 1 0/10, but found Gears 5 to be incredibly disappointing and dull. Save for the last hours though, they were pretty spectacular.

I made the post, when the game was at 85. What is your point?
I'm comparing this to the near auto 90+ Sony and Nintendo get for their first party games.
And Microsoft got those too a long time ago.

The game does not score much better than Gears 4, yet it a LOT better.

 

[Stuart360]

Good solid reviews. For some reason i expected worse, the little hype and showing of the game (except the last week or two) made me think that maybe the game was a stinker.

 

[bilderberg]

Gears 4 reviewed similarly well, and that was the most disappointing thing in my life

 

[LaughingStock]

Just watched SkillUp's review and he convinced me. Nothing groundbreaking but a solid TPS adventure.

 

[DanielsM]

I personally don't care for review scores anymore, there is enough videos for everyone to judge for themselves. It just looks like where it was going with GoW3/4, if you like those... you'll probably like this, if you didn't like those... you probably won't like this.

Sorry games journalist, I say no way.

Come on, games scored with a '10/10' have never been considered to be "perfect".

 

[Big-G]

Great reviews so far, tbh. Some websites want to act harsh for the sake of creating a false sense of being "more objective" but you all know how much I expected this to be a disappointment. But it didn't in the end, kudos to the Coalition.

Gamespot *cough*

Days gone 90? Is it a bad?

And why u have to compare? Can't enjoy without comparing? You get paid for comparing meta?

That's what makes these discussions fun though

List of AAA 85 very big. Google

 

[Psykodad]

Then why have a 10 point scale if nothing should be able to get a 10?

To show how close something is to perfection?

 

[kunonabi]

Anybody know what "difficult questions about problematic topics" refers to?

No idea. Nothing about the story was particularly noteworthy. Pretty predictable stuff honestly, mostly.

Hey Karak . Are you doing a review for GreedFall also?

 

[Airbus Jr]

I dont like this new protagonist in Gears 5

Who is this Kait?

She wont win a 1 vs 1 chainshaw fight with a Locust with that scarwny arm

But i suppose the power of SJW will made her somehow the winner out of nowhere

Bring back JD hes the true heir for this game after Marcus retired

Sara Connor looks damn good in the multiplayer but holy hell dem hands tho..lol

 

[Gavin Stevens]

Well tickle my cock and call me a hamburger, it's getting good reviews...?

I expected average at best, so this pleases me a lot!

 

[DeepEnigma]

Is it really? I mean.....I do think it's "better", but "way better" is pushed it don't you think?

Meta has a BS weighted score system behind the scenes depending on publication.

OC is straight up average. Like real math.

 

[Karak]

Hey Karak . Are you doing a review for GreedFall also?

Ya already working on it

 

[Gamernyc78]

Didnt like Gears 4 mp but ima try this because I have four days of ultimate left. This should be fun for a few.

@Mista I edited it to make it more clear.




Yeah, that seems ridiculously low to me from what I have seen of the game.

Edit 2: OK @Mista , now I think you should be able to see a change.

 

[Virex]

Ya already working on it

Awesome! Can't wait to watch it. I'm getting it regardless of review scores just like with Piranha Bytes games. But I am interested to see your review.

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

85 is a great score. Good as expected.
