Should I get it?

Like the title says I haven't played any Gears games, but I'm extremely interested in Gears 4. It's a quasi Xbone exclusive and Horde mode looks amazeballs. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems Gears 4 is the beginning of a new saga/story, so would jumping right into the 5th installment ruin the series for me?

What do you think?

Sure. Although you can buy the backwards compatibility gears games for a cheap price.



The first 3 don't matter, just make sure to play Judgement...



Sure, if you like shootie and cover games. One of my friends favorite game series is Gears of War. He just loves, loves that game.

It's also a fun game to play with friends. Have at it!



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

Why not. At least you won't feel like a grumpy old man whose well known character all got shrunk.

I kinda like the new ones better, although the original being so over the top made the game for me.

Yes. Because Gears 1,2,3, and judgement are all given to you through Xbox 360 BC. You get the entire series if you buy Gears 4.



Gears is a great game but it has a secret. I becomes "one of the best games" when you coach co-up it with a friend, I recently replayed Gears 1-2-3 and Judgement with my best friend, best time I've had since I played mario kart with him, these games are just amazing together.

Doesn't take away when you play them alone they are also a ton of fun, and the series has been getting better, 3 was already just tremendous in the way they designed the stages and even the story was a lot of fun.

I'm guessing Gears 4 is raising the bar, definitely pick it up.

 

PS: you said "horde mode looks amazing" IT IS AMAZING :D you'll play it a ton!!

Yes, and you're lucky gamer now.
I reccomend Gears Ultimate Edition first.
If you want to save money.

This, for $60 its a great deal.

If you like 3rd person shooters, Gears is some of the best around.
