There's a certain tradition in Gears of War, and it's called "Seriously." It's the name of an achievement that has appeared in every entry in the Gears of War franchise, one that causes most players to scoff, throw their hands up in the air and admit defeat upon merely gazing at the ludicrous achievement requirements.

Example


Seriously 2.0

Kill 100,000 enemies (any mode)

I don't mind and I think I will possible end up getting them

I'm well aware of Gears traditions lol and Seriously 2.0 is an example of reasonable achievement that still requires dedication. And it's kills across all modes, unlike Gears 5 that has 100k versus kills and also insane grinds for assists and horde kills as well. So it isn't even one Seriously achievement,  and they keep adding these after launch. Seriously 5.0 is actually ok. 

Did you find Seriously 3.0 ok too? It forced people to boost 24/7 and many broke their consoles doing it. Play 6000 matches of each game mode to get those Onyx medals, you do the math how many hours that would take.

Pretty surprising there's people defending even this bullshit. Give a special weapon skin or something for these grinds but achievements like these only hurt the game. Just check trueachievement.com ratings for Gears 5 updates.

How does it hurts the game?   It only hurts the achievement hunters who would complete the achievement and then not play the game anymore....

I probably end up getting the versus 100.000 kills before Gears 6 release but could end up getting it somewhere at the end of 2021.  The 100.000 Horde kills I am at 61% completed and well Re ups take some time but with weekend like this that gives you 6x exp it really helps.  It is not that rare to see Re up 50 players. But even my active gears 5 friend have mostly passed 50K kills in Gears 5 without grinding.

A 1440p 60 FPS ray tracing mode would have been ideal for Watch Dogs Legion (if possible without dips).

Nobody did I'm pretty sure that I read that it was a complete disaster due to technical issues and they didn't get to do a trivia at all so they called Phil in for a quick interview as a sorry and promised to reward the Fanfest folk, I guess the reward was 5,000 points.

I know but I thought it was for people that participated, apparently all you had to do is sign up so check your emails people!!
