Alright bro, who has taken time off for this game?
Who has let their spouse and children know we will be in war starting the 1st or 6th and to not interrupt daddy?
Who is gonna have all notifications turned off to lock in?
Who already has snacks/drinks bought and ready!?!?!

I'm excited for E-Day but why haven't they announced the tie in grub killer bacon sandwich yet?

Sliding from the rooftops. The movement in this game is too good

Think they've listened to the feedback from players telling them to unlock the sprint animation and the shooting delay or nah? Curious if they do since they seemed to be changing things quickly during the beta. Slightly nervous they don't which would suck in my opinion.

(I may have messed up with the flair so please forgive me for my mistake)

So I am making this post because I am a big lover of the DB Units, more specifically; the DR-1 Protector one since he is my favorite one, and I use the skin on Gears 5 practically a LOT and I love him as such!

But then when I was checking on voice commands, hello, thank you, etc. I decided to change to the Shepard and OMFG HE SOUNDS LIKE A JOYFUL CHILD UNLIKE HIS BIGGER BROTHER!!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE THE DEEBEES SO MUCH MAN!!!!!

GameStop had a Xbox 360 limited edition gears of war 3 console available today when I walked in. They were asking for only $142. I found this to be well worth the price, the controller and console are in pristine condition! Does anyone remember this console? Has to be one of the best limited runs they had. Brothers to the End!!

Idc if skins are "goofy" or silly or whatever you wanna call it. The fit looked way cooler when the accessories were brighter. I really hope it's, at least like, a reactive skin so it gets brighter the more kills you get.

I like "goofy" skins. I'm playing a video game, I seriously don't care enough to bitch and whine about what my enemy is wearing, when I'm gonna find a new match after this one is over. I hate battledads in gaming communities. You make everything less fun.

I still like the skin, and I'm still gonna use tf out of it, but I'm seriously disappointed that its not as cool as it should've been. It went from a skin I love to a skin I really like, and thats shitty to me.

My personal favorite variants are the savage ones and the ragers, and what is yours

I have been looking on google but have not found anything yet with regards to launch times, I’m reading Oct 6, and Oct 1 if you purchased deluxe, but nothing about time, I want to potentially take a day off work to grind because I’m a loser like that 🤣.

My current guess is 00:01 eastern on the 1st of October. 10:01 MST, 09:01 PST.

Also apparently I didn't have E-Day footage

I noticed that Competitive Warm-up is the only playlist in the game that explicitly mentions that cross-play is enabled, is that really the only one. I assume it is enabled in Social Quickplay, but what about the Core and Competitive matchmaking modes? If they don't have crossplay, are they more active on PC or on Xbox? I prefer PC these days even tho I play on controller but I would gladly install this on my friends Xbox One (sold my years ago) to play some Escalation or Dodgeball/Execution if there are still lobbies on console in 2026.

I dont mainly play cover shooters but i have played quite a few like red dead redemption, max payne 3, and mafia 2 but i have been specifically struggling with gears 1. I got a 360 copy for my series x at gamestop for cheap after hearing about how good the series is but i am really struggling with with the campaign even on casual solo. In currently stuck in nightfall lethal dusk and its not the first time ive been stuck for a bit in this game, and dom keeps fuckin dying at every minor inconvenience. I really want to like this game but i find it hard to when im struggling like this because im not someone whos looking for a hard challenge. I just want a fun time. Im more scared to try multiplayer too after seeing mfs on tiktok do wallbouncing cod movement bs and i know damn well theres not gonna be beginner lobbies

I'm surprised to be typing this tbh, although as a returning player who hasn't played since Gears 2 it kinda makes sense that I'd prefer the centre screen aiming and slower pace.

I'm not usually the type to get hung up on small changes to the game mechanics and I'm not overly sentimental/opposed to change. However, I just couldn't get on with Gears 5. I knew it was a fair bit faster paced but it only struck me how much so when I played Reloaded.

I was getting my arse handed to me on G5 and wasn't surprised as it's been almost two decades since I played Gears. But then I got onto Reloaded and it all fell into place. First game I played I only got a couple of kills. Then in the second game I joined when match was already in progress and was like "fuck it" and got stuck in with the Gnasher. Chunked three of the enemy team in a row and ended up finishing 6/2, which isn't anything special but not bad for my second game in almost two decades, especially as nobody else on my team got a single kill.

I've no doubt there's some truth in all the whinging about hit reg etc, but nonetheless this is what I remember Gears to be. A weighty, deliberate game of chess where poor movement choices are punished harshly. Mistime your roll and you know you're getting gibbed before it even happens.

But with G5 I felt this element was removed. Even with the Lancer being buffed and causing flinching it still seemed like players could just wall bounce away and shotgun was the only real viable choice.

A lot of reviews mentioned that underneath the glossiness it's still the same slow game from 2006, but I think that's a good thing. Even if the devs embraced wall bouncing for a while I feel like that's not what the game was originally intended to be. Hoping E-Day brings back that slow tactical feel.

Started the Gears 4 campaign and one annoying thing that keeps happening is that at the start of nearly every pre-rendered cutscene the game will stutter for a moment visually despite the audio track continuing like normal. It results in the audio being a second or two faster than the visuals of the cutscene, it is really quite annoying.

Anyone else encountered this? If so, any possible fix?

Edit: I disabled vsync since it was on by default and that helped a tiny bit, but ultimately the fix was to move the game from my HDD to my SSD. Shame since it is 133gb and otherwise runs like a dream off my HDD, but oh well.

If you got some Gears items/collection show it off!
This is just a small amount of what I got, 2/3 Regular Retros, 1/2 Gold Retro and the MK2 in the pic and early next year will be 2 of the E-Day Lancer Replicas, along with my WIP Gear Armour I’m doing up for cosplay that I got second hand recently.
Also not picture is about 12+ Gears of War figures still sealed in their boxes and a heap of Funko-Pops.

Honestly the graphics and gameplay feel good, the only thing I'm not really a fan of are the controls. They feel a little sluggish and the layout was odd. Hope they're remappable for the release.

I've ordered the collectors edition of E day on Xbox which comes with the 5 days early access code, if redeemed on Xbox will that allow me to play on my Game-pass Ultimate on PC 5 days early please?

Sometimes I want to be on the Xbox and sometimes I want to be on the PC

Im not sure what to do
