J4MES OX4D 10,034 Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Anyone picking this up? It's on Steam and the MS Game Pass. I enjoyed the series on the 360 but I'm not sure if the gameplay still holds up - it does look fantastic though as always. I had GoW4 which I got cheap but never bothered to play it because it was 130gb on PC thanks to the shitty windows store and their terrible file compression. This one is certainly getting decent reviews. GazzaGarratt 1 Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/7286-gears-of-war-5/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not forgetting all the other games too. I'll probably set this up over the weekend. Fucking filthy!

MrBiron 1,453 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 I have it on my Xbone. Gamertag is TheBironicMan if anybody wants to add me. I'm not sure who actually has an Xbox on here.

phil bottle 9,758 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I had a busy weekend and then of course its never straight forward installing a game from MS Store. Wouldn't install, threw up an error code that doesn't exist and led me to google to find out that it might be because there was a Win 10 security patch waiting to download. There was. lol Anyway, installed now and hopefully get on it later.

I remember getting Gears of War 4 through the windows store, downloading about 80gb of the base game which was probably the biggest download I ever did back then. When I went to start the game, a 4mb update was required and every time I tried to install this, it failed. I tried all the standard fixes and even go through to Live support where they told me to reinstall the entire game - I said fuck that, I want my money back and thankfully got it. Even the MS support worker said himself that it was unreliable as fuck downloading from the Windows Store😂 phil bottle 1 Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/7286-gears-of-war-5/#findComment-122058 Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil bottle 9,758 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Only had time for a quick play.First thoughts.Gorgeous game.Feels slick (except the running, but I've always hated the running in GOW)Did a benchmark and I'm running on a mixture of ultra and insane, averaging 100 frames.Combat, well I'll come back to that, it's too early to judge but I prefer how the Division plays, is how I'm currently feeling.Cant say too much else until I've a few hours under my belt.Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk J4MES OX4D 1 Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/7286-gears-of-war-5/#findComment-122067 Share on other sites More sharing options...
J4MES OX4D 10,034 Posted September 10, 2019 Author Share Posted September 10, 2019 I had a quick go at the bootcamp and everything feels and looks great. Cannot wait to get started! The optimisation seems solid and the options are vast. My only disappointment is the game has forced TAA and no other anti-aliasing options. I would've preferred a config option to disable it entirely as this adds a little blur. Still looks great though phil bottle, GazzaGarratt and NeonRainbowGeek 3 Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/7286-gears-of-war-5/#findComment-122069 Share on other sites More sharing options...
J4MES OX4D 10,034 Posted September 12, 2019 Author Share Posted September 12, 2019 Loving this game so far - it looks amazing and is a truly fantastic cinematic experience with a great narrative GazzaGarratt and phil bottle 2 Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/7286-gears-of-war-5/#findComment-122113 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeonRainbowGeek 7 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Now that I have gotten past some teething issues (missing collectibles and such) I am loving it as expected. I am a very huge Gears fan though Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk J4MES OX4D 1 Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/7286-gears-of-war-5/#findComment-122136 Share on other sites More sharing options...
