/gowg/ - Gears of War General #19

ESCALATION IS A SHIT MODE AND RIBBONS ARE COMPLETE AND UTTER HORSESHIT

I'm at the point where it's really hard for me to say Gears 4 has a better horde than 3

>>159039653
the biggest issue is the lack of roster diversity
they need to bring back locust, or have new types of swarm
or something

>>159039653
Less enemy variety and amped up difficulty requiring 4-5 turrets for even normal difficulty waves 30-50 do kind of kill it. Not that previous horde modes weren't find the one cheese spot on each map.

At least the lack of enemy variety is understandable since new game

>>159039837
Yeah but that doesn't explain the lack of wave randomization like zgears 3.

>>159039837
yeah but at least in Horde for Gears 2 and 3, you didn't die in 1 shot on fucking insane
nor did the boomers have pin-point accuracy
nor did the enemies have nearly as much health (aside from lambent zerker)

you die too easily and don't dish out enough damage without a fucking turret, they need to lower player received damage and enemy health, or increase player damage.

if they have to make turrets cost double or whatever, then so be it, but make shooting your normal rifle actually fucking worthwhile

How much do Killer Mike and El-P cost?? Can I buy them with credits??

>>159040143
More difficulty = more need of skills = more packs sales = more $$$

You really think The Jewalition will fix that ? Ha.

>>159040420
here's the thing
even with maxxed out skills it's still not fun
Insane is literally no fun allowed the difficulty

all they need to do is tweak damage dealt and received for hardcore and insane and it would be perfect

also people actually buy horde packs?
like with actual money?

>>159040380
20$ and no
why do you want to buy two literal who's anyway?

>>159040380
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

are the maps gonna be available for private matches later you think?

>>159040543
Yeah a lot of retards buy horde packs. Numerous idiots also bought the Season Pass. No wonder the game is full of micro transactions, TC/Microsoft saw that people will just buy anything.

As results, we get a 20$ 2 character DLC with literal whos instead of free old characters that everyone wants.

I miss Epic Games.

>>159040896
Yeah, so I guess, /gowg/ lobby with new maps!

>>159040543

>20$ and no

are you fucking shitting me?

>why do you want to buy two literal who's anyway?

RTJ is one of the biggest acts in hip-hop right now, they are pretty well-known.

This was advice to get more character skins. Was /gowg/ right?

>>159041016
look at it this way, we don't have to pay for map packs

also remember Epic had pretty obnoxious DLC in Gears 3
but then again the main DLC was fucking great
we just have to wait and see I guess

>>159041367
To be honest, I'd rather fucking take a $40 skin pack with fuck loads of skins and expansion packs for $15 each, 3 being maps and 1 being a campaign addon and split the player base than this fucking shit.

>>159039790
>>159039837
They already have working Locust enemies in the prologue.

Locust Horde DLC when?
Mass Effect 3, say what you want about it, did a really nice job of supporting their multiplayer with new free DLC and enemies post launch, such as collectors.

>>159041591
This. Also main DLCs included characters, which completed the already huge roster of the base game.

>>159041591
>>159042316
why can't we have massive DLCs like RAAMs shadow that also include playable characters without splitting the base?
Also i'm "fine" with the MTs because you have to be a genuine idiot to buy them, they make all their money off of 5% of the playerbase, so we get free shit at their expense. Yeah the drop packs are overpriced nonsense, and MTs are cancer in general, but as long as I don't have to pay a dime, I don't give a fuck.

apparently the rtj airdrop comes with 18 weapon skins, emblems, and bounties

>>159041591
I didn't do the maths but I'm pretty sure getting all the weapons skins in Gears 3 is way cheaper than getting them for the same weapons in Gears 4. And at least in Geats 3, you're sure to get what you want. Fuck TC.

>>159042560
Relax. You're acting like gears 4 is the first game with cosmetic micro transactions. They're literally in every shooter now

>>159042495
Yeah but seeing the RTJ DLC, what chances is there that they won't do that for all cosmetics/skins ? Don't you care about that ?

>>159041219

different anon,no idea what the fuck you're talking about

>>159042762
I know that. But it's the first Gear. And the franchise was fine without it. Compare the feeling of progression/rewards between Gears 3 and Gears 4.

>>159042807
I would certainly hope not, but this seems too much like a promotion more than anything
if they did this for say the Carmines, I will be rightfully pissed off, especially if we can't get them for free with credits

can't even pull up the new maps in a private match

>>159043460
Not until they go public next week and only if you got the season pass

I think I might be growing weary of this game.
Pc online is nearly dead, season pass is a scam, and cross play is being handled in the worst possible way.
Think I can get a refund still?

>>159048767
Hey /bbg/

>>159041016
>instead of
Game hasn't even been out for a month and you're dumb enough to fucking think they won't add old characters to the roster in the future because of some dumb collab gear pack. Fuck.

>>159044013
Actually because the maps are in rotation won't you be able to play them on private matches anyways, even without the SP? I thought it was only maps that are out of rotation that you can't host private matches on.

>>159049751
yeah it's this

>>159049842
>>159049751
Makes me wonder which maps they'll take out of rotation, assuming they keep it a ten map cycle.

So I got the seasons pass because I bought the overpriced console bundle.

What exactly did I get over all you normies?

>>159050963
A Gears 4 Xbone and a shitty Gear Pack that gives you Vintage Oscar, Vintage Oscar Emblem, Vintage Boomshot and Vintage Retro Lancer. Also 6 other random Gear Packs.

It's kinda lame how Swarm are just Locust's successor.
Locust and Lambent are pretty distinctive and characteristic from the start, but aside from pupa and crystal stuff, Swarm are just the insipid, bland version of Locusts so far.

>one of the RTJ characters says "marked a fuck boy" when spotting people.

neat

>>159049142
I meant instead of old character FIRST. Who cares about rappers. Especially with how hated the base skins are.

*the 2 characters literally just replace the head model for Commando Dom with El-P and Armored Cole with Killer Mike. The 15 Weapon Skins are the same skin on all 15 weapons, then you get 2 10k bounties and 2 emblems.

Enjoy goy!

Is there a video of all their lines and shit yet? Sunglasses man looks cool.

>>159054232
Wait so are there new weapon skins or what? The guy I replied to said there would be 18 skins in them. Does that mean those skins are already something I can unlock?

This game really wants me to use the longshot, doesn't it.

>>159054627
holy shit I can't stop laughing.

I get so many longshot skins too

>>159054470
He's wrong, there's 1 NEW weapon skin on all the 15 weapons.

>>159054775
Right after this pack I opened another elite and got another 2 fucking longshot skins.

>>159054778
Well. To be fair I don't like the sound of that either but its something at least.

Y/N?

I really hate the idea of buying anything from Windows Store but I've completely moved on from consoles. I'm only thinking about this because of the fun times I had on 1-3 and even judgment day and the fact that I'm seriously lacking in fun multiplayer shooters right now.

>>159057619
People keep saying pc is dead but you still have campaign and horde. They also are testing the waters soon with pc console crossplay. Personally I say get it but I also have bought ever pack and promotion for this game that I have become a big shill.

>>159058001
>pc console crossplay

Unless consoles support mice now it's gonna be a disaster just like it was with Shadowrun.

>>159058173 Well its not an fps on top of people don't think mouse and keyboard are capable of what people on controllers can pull off. I personally think maybe the crossplay will miraculously be perfect just because it fucking has to if pc wants to stay alive. So I guess its all hope.

>>159058470
Ok, cool.
I'm not investing 70€ on hope and single player though..

Anyone down to play anything?

Feels like a tighter 3. I love it. Maps are great across the board with some certainly peaking above others. Though a few of them feel a lot like gridlock. Including gridlock.

Took me a while to understand why the run by jews airdrop is so expensive. When you buy the airdrop you get 4 packs which guarantee you to all the weapon skins, characters and emblems. TB H I prefer this over getting shit from esport luck packs. Getting two black steel enforcers should never happen again.

>>159060503

yeah but it's the same skin for every weapon

what if I just want the characters?

>>159060934
Then you get extra skins because there is no way just get the characters. I don't know how they would have split it up just to only get the characters because the pack system gives you like 5 cards. So what would the other three cards in the pack be?

>>159061160

Make it a special pack then that only gives you 4 items:

both characters and a bounty for each one

>>159061284
Honestly its all what ifs that they probably should have though of at this point. Its not actually that bad for me. I wanted all the skins too. Originally I thought it worked like the esport packs and thought I would have had to buy four $20 dollar packs to get them all so being what it is right now doesn't seem so bad. I should get payed for thinking they keep doing everything right.

>>159060503
i bought this game for $42

the airdrop is $20

almost half the cost of the game for a few skins....

>>159063346
Optional skins. They could charge what ever they wanted for that.

TC, you had me on the hook but were using worn out string. No shekels today

/gowg/ is dying. Where should I go if I want to find people who play?

>>159065662
Shall we make a Club on Xbox?

>>159065840
There is a club for /gowg/ but its deader than the discord. I guess I could just join the official gears discord but I don't think there are better players than /gowg/

>>159063448
its optional, but still in bad taste.

I miss the days where you could unlock an entire games roster without paying extra.

even though Gears 3 had DLC characters too, you could unlock a sizable chunk of the roster on your own.

>only gametypes you can play the new maps on are Arms Race and Dodgeball

why

>>159057619
If you buy it on PC , you get it on Xbox One at no additional cost. That's what I did. The same works conversely as well.

>>159058001
PC is kinda dead. Sure the FPS boost and easier aiming is awesome in Horde and Campaign and PC play lists but the community is small as fuck. I ran into the same group of people several times in a row. Granted my work schedule kinda makes it so I don't play with lots of people during the day but Xbox definitely has a much larger player base.

Is there any penalty for quitting ranked? I'm getting real tired of faggots getting shit on and leaving on round 2 of dodgeball.

>>159076397
I think there's an EXP penalty. But they mentioned in their last dev notes that they are considering enacting harsher penalties (such as temp bans for repeat quitters).

Honestly, the quitting is kinda bad, but the number of matches where I start without a full 5 people is worse (and usually leads to quitters). The game really needs to not start the match if it's 3v5, and find some more people.

I hit a triple with a blind drop shot but it was against bots cause the other team left :/

is horde having a matchmaking glitch?
i keep getting put in a room with one person

#itrunsinthefamily

If they are talking about a Carmine pack, I hope you can buy it with credits.

>>159081142
I was in a full lobby and as soon as I loaded onto the map no one was there.

Matchmaking for Horde today has been fucked for me.

>>159081493
I hope we get the Outsider Carmine too. I was disappointed we never got more of him in the campaign.

So what skins would people like to see most in Gears 4? Obviously I'd want stuff from 3 back, but what about new stuff?

Why there is still no mid-game matchmaking for Horde?
People have been asking for this since GoW2. 8 fucking years.
Also in previous games, if I remember correctly weren't we able to tell which map and difficulty your friend is playing on? but now all we can see is wave? seriously why is this allowed.

>>159084860
Indeed. It's unfortunate if someone legit gets disconnected, let alone when you get a good run and someone quits. There's no reason they can't have a "fill into an existing match" option on the matchmaking menu.

unusual skins and weapon skins WHEN

i want that 1% in gear packs

What a dead game

Impossible to find a ranked game on PC

>>159087306
I feel like they might open up all crossplay just to give PC users someone to play with.

i'm not even gonna play in it i just want the posts to stop

Anyone playing horde? Seems like public matches are broken.

CAN WE PLAY DRYDOCK AND CHECKOUT ONLINE?

IF NOT, WHEN?!?!!?!

Currently experiencing the wonder of titanfall, how is the new update?

>>159089997
Season Pass holders can now. Not sure when everyone gets them. There's a special playlist that plays only those maps so you can get plenty of play on them. I assume these maps can come up in matchmaking now for SP holders too.

>>159090919
sp owners can only play them in the developer's playlist, which is limited to arms race and dodgeball in social. you can also do horde on normal difficulty only. everyone else gets to play them on november 8th and that's when they'll be available for private versus and horde for everyone

>>159091108
Season pass owners stiffed again

>>159091108
That's awfully specific.

The more time goes on, the less the pass seems to matter. Getting stuff early is neat, but if it's only a handful of days and limited in scope, it's a bit less impactful.


On another topic, does anyone else wish they'd changed the "look" of the maps they brought back? Like how Canals was brought back frozen or charred Gridlock or post-sinking Jachinto? Checkout as a pristine-looking part of a new DB-made city would have been cool.

He's saying that they are hoping to give season pass holders more (exclusive?) content for free to make the season pass a better value. People are finding the pass' rewards to be a bit thin. So maybe pass holders would get some free boxes, or get free skins, or something.

>>159097358
