Gears of War: E-Day | Review Thread

Xbox 
I know we all knew this was gonna happen, but you know you’re fucked when making your game a Xbox exclusive is a death sentence for the game.

Given how little Xbox marketed this game shows me how little Asha cares about the health of Gears as an IP. But I guess that’s why she was hired. She’s admittedly not a gamer nor does she care about Xbox in that way. That means she has no sentimentality around the Gears IP and is totally fine hanging it out to die for all to see.

What is your system?

Performance is average. I need DLSS Performance for acceptable frame rates IE 90FPS or more.

I've never had massive framedrops.

But I am surprised you think the graphics look good. The game looks so average.

9800x3d and 5080.
I am playing at 4k with dlss performance. Ludicrouis settings, rtx geometry and all that crap turned on.
Getting about 50-60fps and with framegen x3-x4 close to 200. Feels and plays great but goes to shit every few minutes. Like to 20fps.
Maybe its the ludicrous setting. I will try ultra.

Game looks good. Not as good as I thought it would but it is pretty good looking

Ludicrous tanks your framerate for no obvious improvement in graphics. I'm using Ultra.

Did I ask you to support them? Or I said why are you and others so obsessed with games y'all apparently won't support? 💀
 
Wow chapter 5 is spectacular. I am nearing the end of the game but man.
This is some good shit.
My tip is to lower sound effects a bit so you can hear the music better. its amazing in chapter 5
The game is good. really good. Did not deserve this reception. It's a huge budged, extremely well done gears game.

The audio mix in this game is so bad. You cannot hear the music whatsoever.

Games no longer have any music driving the gameplay.

Music adds so much to the experience (see Doom 2016, Doom Eternal).

yeah I realized that late but turning down sound effects to 75% helped a lot. The music is actually good then.
I didn't like all tracks as it goes too heavy metal. But when it goes grand and orchestral then it's good.

I finished the game. It was fucking great. wow. Last act really did not stop.
I would say it is 8-9/10 for a gears game. Loved it.

Sorry for screenshots being so dark. It's a fault of hdr -sdr thingie. The game looks amazing on oled with HDR.
Can't post better screenshots because spoilers.
2nd to last screenshots one of controversial women in the game. She is not gay, she doesn't say anything else to you other than some orders. She is awesome and kinda baddie too in a space marine kinda way. What are these grifters smoking. People are too obsessed over politics.
The girl in your squad only has few lines. She is fine

I don't mind Grey but the dialogue for Mags and her voice actor is grating. There is a mod which mutee her which is great.

Meh. not worth wasting your time to install the mod. Just deal with it. It's just an average character

I really wish steamdb didn’t exist.

Not that data isn’t great to have, it indeed is

But the public just cannot have good things without running it to the ground with bullshit.

Incredible moment in act 5. Truly breath taking with this music playing. I stood there for few minutes
