MS definitely has some cool IPs that I'd like to see return (Conker is at the top of my list) but I've learned not to get too excited about announcements. Sometimes they turn out great. Sometimes they end up sucking. Some times they don't ever get released.

I'm still hyped for Gears 5, though. I've been replaying Gears 3 and I'm hoping for a return to form.

Inyour opinion, was Gears 4 good? I played the original trilogy and was really underwhelmed. In fairness, I played them toward the end of the 360 gen. But I played the first 1-2h of Gears 4 and was bored to the point that I felt it wasn’t worth it to play longer. I have heard some good things about it, though.

The Gears series are a very solid franchise. Basically what you see is what you get. Its dudebro shooting at its finest with what is considered the best cover control mechanics in the industry. If you are not into big explosions, dudebro characters, guts and gore than ill probably avoid them. But if thats your thing than i couldnt recommand anything else since Gears has a great reputation for a reason.

I really didn't enjoy Gears 4. I kinda had to force myself to finish it and after the 4K update, I kept intending to replay it but never did. I didn't think the world building was very good, the characters were generic and the pacing was pretty bad.

I thoroughly enjoy 1-3 and relay them annually. I like the characters and (surprisingly) the story. 



I am not hyped with the rumored list but I guess if they announce a new fable, that would be enough for me.

Yeah, that was the impression I got, but I wasn’t sure if it got markedly better later. That’s disappointing. But hopefully Gears 5 is good. I do think part of the reason I enjoyed Gears 1-3 so little bc I played them when they were no longer groundbreaking. 



Let's see the goodies very soon.

It does get markedly better after slow fist Act. Rest of the campaign is packed with action and pacing is great. 1-3 feel a bit slow compared to it. You might want to try it yourself, especially considering you didn't fancy 1-3.

Actually I still think Gears remains groundbreaking heh. There simply isn't better 3rd person shooter for online play. It's so fluid and skill-based.
