I think I'd like to get some campaign DLC, a kind of bridge to Gears 5.
Not saying it needs to come out now but next Summer or Autumn would be perfect and they can sell it standalone or as part of a complete edition when all the maps have been released.
I'd buy it!

A couple of times I have wondered if they have not done a 343 and just thrown me into any fucking server... I.E, out of region.

It's taking absolutely ages to find any games on ranked either.
I would like to play some placement matches so that it starts matching me with people of similar skill but it's an absolute nightmare finding a game....
I suppose that's possible too but I don't see why they'd need to. Surely there has to be a healthy population playing?

Do they ever shuffle you to the other side in Social Quick play? Trying to make use of a Del bounty card and was Swarm for 4 straight lobbies. Hope they fix this.
Yeah, you may get shuffled from one team to the other between matches.
You get shuffled to even teams out after a match. Just unlucky with 4 times Swarm i guess.
Hang tight. It only gets better.
I'm trying to arrange a private versus match today, there are some people on Discord GearsGaf up for it...so just want to register interest here.
Taking in players from PC and Xbox both.
I'm on Xbox myself so don't get scared of the master race...you have a friend with you and we will hold our ground !!

I started playing this game on insane but I am still on the prologue. I have beaten all the other Gears games on insane but this one seems way more difficult. I hope it eases up some soon.
Has anyone bought the Ultimate Edition on disc and then bought the regular version for PC? I'm wondering if my season pass from the UE will already be there if I get a digital copy of the regular edition and try to play on PC. Seems like it should work?
I think I might go buy a new PC soon and I'm excited to be able to play Gears anywhere in my house! I just got a new PC like 3 months ago from Newegg but the motherboard had some issue and I had to return it. Gears being out is an incentive for me to get that replacement!

Now I'm sure I'm a bit out of practice, but I've completed all the previous Gears games on solo Insane, and I started the Gears 4 campaign on Hardcore, and found the normal enemies were waaay durable. I played some normal campaign last night, and while it was tons easier, it felt like...frankly, a better game. The number of enemies and enemy distributions I was seeing on normal make me imagine higher difficulties just being miserable. Even just in terms of ammo management.
This may have just been a period of adjustment, but does anyone else have reactions to the enemy health levels in campaign? I adore what I've played in co-op though.

That prologue is amazing.
Yes, it's total fan service but they could have just phoned it in and made a lame cutscene.
The fact that they made it playable is commendable. Kudos to you Coalition.

Are collectibles just really well hidden in this game or am I just dogshit at finding them?
I'm in Act III chapter 1 and I only have 4.

Thanks!
It's a fun game so far,
I'm just not a fan of the robots.
Playing co-op on Insane with my niece...we were just laughing at it last night...the AI is just ridiculous.
Its a harder game this time. Horde mode on Casual can still kill you in the first 10 waves if you get reckless. That was almost never a concern in Gears 3 horde.
I preordered the game so long ago. And yet Amazon Canada still has not shipped it. They are purposely delaying it since I am not a Prime user. Says shipping October 20th to 27th. Inexcusable as a Gears fan. This launch night was ruined for me. Launch week is the best time to play.

Insane in this game is IMHO not even fun. The other games I got through, but in this game I'm struggling to even kill a few deebees with the ammo supplied. The checkpoints feel more spread out too.
I solo'd Hardcore and really enjoyed it and struggled in places. Hardcore in Gears 4 feels like Insane in the other games.

I'm crying over this this anger......god its hilarious!!!
That's not even something to get mad about... 97% damage, it's not like he completely missed. His aim seems slightly off when he slides towards the wall. But, I guess some people think everything is the game's fault and never because your aim was off.

yup I saw it live. He is a whiney ass child. He consistently missed and made dumbass plays and raged up to that point.
I watched a pro stream after that and he had NO problems and only blame himself when he even slightly missed. The maturity and skill difference was staggering.

that is horrible, that is why I try to get at physical stores, or make sure I get a back up plan. Amazon in US was giving the digital codes for people who had delays on the shipping

I bet there are still plenty of people who haven't been able to install the game yet and probably given up by now. I feel bad for The Coalition. They've made an amazing PC version of the game, and it's going to be completely dead because MS can't even make a client that works.

Been storming my way through the campaign so far and I gotta say, this is pretty damn awful so far. That's not a major issue since I got it mostly for Horde anyway and I've heard it gets better at Ch.3 which I'm not starting. But man,
Really hope it picks up since I usually enjoy the campaigns mildly but right now I'm not feeling it at all.
Already getting tempted to just jump into MP instead.
Edit: Ok Campain will stay unfinished. Since the game froze my computer when I tried to close it earlier it also just wiped all progress and started me back at the beginning of Chapter 2.
These freaking robots are so boring to shoot at and then the end of Ch 2 was one of the worst and outdated gaming cliches I've played in a long time.

I've completed every Gears on Insane and the enemies have always taken a lot of damage on Insane.
That being said the DeeBees take a fucking beating. I'm playing this one on Hardcore to start with and am not ashamed to admit that I died a few times on Act 1 even! Might just be where I'm not used to these enemy types though because haven't died yet on Act 2 and seem to be dealing with them easily now.
Am yet to face The Swarm though...

I died a fair few times on Hardcore. Enemies hit like trains and soak up damage like a sponge - essentially, it's typical Gears, but harder for some reason. lol
I think pounchers and juvies really change the flow of the game and keep you moving (making you more vulnerable).
The new close-cover-combat system teases and begs you to come forward, but again it leaves you more exposed. I played much more aggressive in this campaign and got killed more as a result.
They definitely do more damage too.

Does anyone need the Gears 4 rockstar tab codes (https://gears4.rockstarenergy.com/us/)? (US only FYI)
My local 7-11 has the cans in stock, so I'd pick some up and send the codes over for Paypal. It's 2 for $4, and you need 4 codes total if you want to redeem all the available skins/emblems.
Let me know.

Are you sure it isnt 2 for $3? I have been buying them since the new cans came out and they are always on sale at the 7-11 near my house for 2 for $3.
This has got such a great feel to it. Really like how smoothly you transition from one move to another, especially compared to the old games all of which I've played throughout the last year. It might not feel as heavy, but nimbly jumping from cover to cover has its own charm. Also major props to The Coalition for making both versions run well. They both feel like exclusive first party releases, which can't have been easy, considering how few developers are able to achieve the same result.
Artistically I still prefer the old games, but technically this is probably up there with Assassin's Creed Unity as one of the best looking games out there. In my book performance is king and this runs like a dream, particularly on PC, so it doesn't really matter that a few textures aren't as sharp as expected.
Still haven't had enough time with it due to Windows Store issues, but regardless of how I end up feeling about the entire package in the end, at this point I feel I can breathe a sigh of relief. Gears of Wars is in good hands with The Coalition.

About 8ish hours I'd say. It's real good, and if you like Horde as well then there's a lot there with new maps coming each month and what a lot of people feel is the best version of Horde so far.
