I'll probably sign up for Xbox Game Pass on PC for this game.

Xbox game pass is the best deal in gaming right now. Microsoft should make a 200 dollar xbox with one year of xbox game pass.

Yeah it seems the new gamepass subscriptions are insane. Also a lot of pc players seems like 30% of the people play it on pc based on my experience playing it online, Expect some news next week.

Should also mention that there is a big divide between user and professional scores on Metacritic.

Gears 4 was: 6.9 user.
Gears 5 was 8.8 user.

Clearly the actual reviews aren't reflecting gamers experiences.

Yea, seems like it.

Gears 5 Metacritic PC User Score 7.1

Gears 5 Steam Mixed 50% Negative



Hunting Season is done...

I may have to check this out while my gamepass is active. Did not have very high expectations but this seems like the one of the first MS games I have felt like I needed to play in a LONG time.

When you play it, post your thoughts. I wasn't hyped up to play it because of Gears 4 but I still wound up playing it on day one thanks to Game Pass. It didn't take long before I was truly impressed. Unfortunately, you have to go through a boring tutorial section before the greatness can begin.

Gears 5 on PC has also copped the brunt of the troll reviews. I understand all games have them but it seems the PC version of Gears 5 has copped it hard. Gamers are holding a personal grudge over MS games rather then respecting what is a good game.

I couldn't help but laugh when I read this one..

Loony toons graphics!? On the PC version? That would have been funny if this didn't actually add to the User score.

Would be very weird if people that paid those bargain prices for Gamepass would value this game so low as this. On a cost benefit hardly you'll find a game this good, this cheap near launch.

And this is why Gamepass is bad for videogames. People accepting mediocrity because it’s coming at a bargain price. Some of us just want a quality piece of entertainment at a fair price.

Could be true if Gears 5 were mediocrity. And 60 is a fair price for a quality game.

And people have always accepted inferior product for a lower price as long as they make their own interpretation that they are getting a better value this way.
