Based on the fact that skins are listed as "launch series" does anyone else believe well see halo 5-esque updates added that add themed skins and characters?
After playing all weekend on PC, I've settled in with the game pad. I know I'm giving up accuracy, but I mostly play a CQC movement game anyways. Plus I'm much better with a game pad.

What on earth does "Play this game for now, or buy it to own forever" mean?
I'm getting that message on the Windows Store version I got from an Nvidia code.
Played 4h40m of campaign on Hardcore (finished Act 3), and it's been fun so far. The prologue was full fanservice in seeing young Dom, Hoffman and Kim, but othere than that it was pretty much pointless.
Imo Act 1 was a bit boring, but as others have said, it picks up after that.
I gotta say, as soon as juvies are introduced, encounter design takes a huge jump in quality. I can't remember when have I had such fights in gears before. I love how they're supposed to be just replacement wretches, but are more agile, less powerful and have all kinds of special movement even through rails. Way more fun to play against.
Whole Act 3 is a blast, I'm already dreading the museum fight on Insane though.
Drones seem smarter, had one rush me before and they tend to execute a lot. Map design fits my Gnasher+Lancer only style pretty well, bunch of covers and occasional flanking routes.
The new weapons are all great so far, playing against a Dropshot in Campaign is something else.
Jumped into some social KOTH too, it feels great, but some of the skins are ugly as hell. Like pink-green painted soldiers, zombies and bodypainted pink robed dudes. I unlocked a foam shotgun too, which is epic grade, but it looks hideous.
Finished the campaign with online with my friend on hardcore and boy was it a treat. I experienced audio skipping and hitching during the cutscenes but chalked it up to lag (my friend did not experience this)
Started a solo play through on normal and these issues although rare still persist. Has anyone experienced this as well?
All my games are installed on an external 4TB drive btw.
Back to the campaign:
I've read this or heard this elsewhere but Gears 4 is to the Gears franchise what SW EP VII was to the SW franchise. Did The Coalition do anything revolutionary? Nope. Was it same old Gears? Yup. And I loved it because they gave me what I was looking for.
The core gameplay loop feels as fun as ever.
Totally missed Cole and Sam during Hoffman's ceremony and The Coalition did excellent camera work too mainly focus on Hoffman and leave Cole and Sam in the background.
Trailers completely ruined the moment when JD sees Marcus again but I was so excited when I saw Cole and Baird. My friend was spot on about the DeeBees being Baird's creation and he even called DB as in Damon Baird.
The ending was totally a cliffhanger but I expected as much. Although years away I hope Gears 5 sees The Coalition introduce new mechanics and have them cut loose and really make Gears there own. They have definitely done it right before doing it differently.
Just pre-ordered. Downloading it from the Windows Store now, and it's taking ages. 7gb after like an hour and a half, good thing I won't be playing until this time tomorrow.
You're playing against people who probably haven't played Gears at all, or haven't played it in awhile not to mention it's a limited amount of people since the standard edition isn't out yet.
Even for someone like me who has played Gears a ton, it's taking a while to adjust to m/kb after a decade of controller being muscle memory
That depends on where you set your region when entering the code. I opened up Xbox.com in another tab and set it to Singapore, then redeemed the Nvidia code. This way I had the Singapore unlock date.

Are you sure? I don't have my Xbox app open and i'm getting achievements fine (just got one for 25 perfect reloads). Also got plenty in FH3. Make sure the Xbox App is allowed to run in the background (Settings, Privacy, Background apps).
I'm sure but can only speak for myself. When I had the App open along with playing the achievements popped up. When I closed it sometimes they would still register but you wouldn't know that because there wasn't the pop-up.
I like pop-ups when I get an achievement not silent rewards that I discover later and say "oh hey I unlocked this earlier" and didn't even realize it.
Did they just increase how many coins you get for games!? Got 78 credits for a TDM for winning! If so than thank the heavens, now we just need the load times for matches fixed and this game is god tier (already amazing) while teammates have been sucking it up, with one friend this game is so fucking fun. Today has been one of the most fun days for gears.
Does the streaming to a windows 10 PC from the xbox disc version shit the bed when you get an achievement for anyone else? It almost cuts the connection and pauses the PC every time it happens.
I feel you I was hoping to try some old classic Gears before launch, but I guess that ain't happening. Wrapping up Gears UE's campaign now, and if it serves as any indication, I am going to suck hard at GeoW 4, I'm dying way too often :lol.
edit: @gif in the upper post: 52% damage from those? That is some serious bullshit, Coalition needs to fix it ASAP.
Playing Insane co-op with a friend and my Christ, the loading times are disgustingly long for respawning. Hope they get patched.
Apart from that, loving it a lot.
and the others if nobody wants as I did None but first
