Actually there isn't anything wrong with any of the things The Order did within the game like Script Events, Cinematic presentations or shooting galleries.  It’s the fact that The Order was a unfinished game which was a problem in my book.  The Gears series already had those elements, the difference it never relied to heavily only any of those mechanics.

I think there's plenty wrong with those things. Scripted events chip away at player agency. Cinematic pretensions misunderstand what makes the video game medium special. And pop-up shooting galleries are shallow and boring.

The Order wasn't a failure because it was unfinished. It was a failure because Ready at Dawn valued story, presentation, and graphics over engaging gameplay.

I played Gears 1 and Ultimate Edition last year. Currently replaying Gears 2. One thing about the enemies in GeoW --they don't just stick their heads out and let you shoot them. They put up a really good fight. Not too much to where it's frustrating but enough to make you feel like you earned it. Hopefully Gears 4 keeps the right balance.

I don't know what the Scalebound and FF15 were trying to achieve by showing the massive boss game play. But, then again we're talking about about RPG game, that the fun comes from story and inventory management. I will wait for the metacritic on Scalebound before I ever consider getting the game.

Gears 4 looked amazing, more of the co-op goodness. I like the new weapons they shown and going back to 2 player co-op. 

Final Fantasy XV's boss battle trailer (the last trailer, I think that is called BlackJack, or AfroJack) was the worse trailer i have see in my whole life, I'm sure that it killed some hype for the game, maybe the Movie can bring some of the Hype back.

I don't want to pick out this thread specifically but these "Opinion" threads and "reaction to another thread" threads needs to stop. Seriously where does this get us?

If you and the anti-gears thread that you reacted to really want to encourage a serious discussion about Gears and Scalebound this isn't the way to go about it.

I'm getting tired of these "opinion" threads that are either negative to cause trouble or a reaction thread being OTT positive to compensate for the negative thread.

Let's start writing threads that encourage opinions in a good way and accommodate different views instead of rubbing people up the wrong way.

The Moderation need to create some rule about this "Opinion" threads, people realized that they can say any kind of thing despite how negative it can be if they put the word "Opinion" before the thread, people will not be able to argue with the owner of the Thread because if is just his "Opinion" no one can do nothing about it.

Breakable cover is going to make that much more fun ... seeing ennemies scramble once you took out their cover or having to scamble yourself and get to safety.

Hear, hear!

I want to see healthy and civil debate. I don't want to see console partisans fire slings and arrows at each other.

But that game would have to be multiplat for both sides to fire their arrows!!  Maybe it will be the first console cross play game and rocket league will be forgotten.....

How much would you pay for said game?

It's a slow day at work

Oh I agree. I recently replayed Gears 1 and 2. So good. 

What I love about the series is that you have to think on your feet and outflank enemies. I hope Gears 4 will honor that tradition.
