Except you can buy in-game currency to cycle daily challenges to make this Tour of Duty grind much faster and easier. And it is indeed a grind that forces you to play modes you don't want (or use money to cycle challenges) to eventually unlock something.

Not to mention how laughable their "content" of emblems & bloodsprays are. "Most content any Gears game ever had" they said..while technically true, it's mostly those bloodsprays 'n stuff. Geez..

I don't think all mtx is bad. I recently spend 20€ on Sea of Thieves because they added tons of free content for a year and a half before even offering mtx. 

But TC delivered a broken game and have the nerve to offer these predatory microtransactions. 10€ for a character? What, 30€ for a full weapon skin se? gtfo..

I'm already about halfway complete with the Tour of Duty. If someone wants to rush through it, they can spend iron, but 3 months is more than enough time to complete it. Some of the challenges need tweaking, but it's not like every single challenge needs to be completed. The prices for some of the items in the store are too much. There is no reason for a character skin to cost $10. Hopefully they fix it soon. All the issues in the game currently are things that can easily fix. It's not even been out for a month yet. 

Actually, I read completing all medal grinds is not enough to complete ToD. Anyway, I don't hate the idea of spending a lot time playing, grinding 10,000 kills etc and eventually unlock something. Gears 3 did it and people liked it.

The thing is, in Gears 5 it's time limited. Yes 3 months is plenty of time for some. But surely not everyone has that much time to play. And they'd rather spend their time playing a specific mode, not grinding modes they like. It's designed to push these people to buy mtx, make no mistake. They won't fix this unless they're called out for it. Remember Gears 4 season pass scam? They've got no shame. 

Do you really find this system fun? I'm Staff-Sergeant II level or something and already frustrated and pissed-off about it. My favourite franchise turned into Fortnite.
