    Today I'm playing Gears of War 5 (Gears 5), that was released back in 2019! I wanted to see if if it's still worth your time in 2024, about five years after release. Let's talk about the pros and cons of this game and the franchise as a whole :)

    This game is one of the best multiplayer games I've played but high ping has been an issue for years. Hope this issue doesn't repeat in Gears 6.

    Horde mode when the game launched was really bad with characters locked to a specific class and “no duplicates” aka one Marcus per game and only one of that class per game.
    People would only have a limited amount of options back then too so people who could not play the class they wanted would quit and look for another game.
    When they removed the stupid limitations and made it like GOW 4 horde it was so much better.

    If they had just kept the story formula of the original trilogy it could have been amazing. Instead we get a 90 lbs girl with ptsd and gets migraines calling the shots and going toe to toe with super mutants that the biggest strongest humans have trouble fighting. I miss the OG squad just kicking ass and cracking jokes. I hate how they turned JD into an asshole too while making Del the super supportive great guy friend. Lame. I still enjoyed the game, played couch co-op with the girlfriend and a couple times through solo. Horse mode was amd still is awesome. So is escape. But bad story.

      Thanks for your feedback! And yes, if you've played former Gears games, especially the first 2-3 games, then you'll probably get disappointed when playing GW5. I still enjoyed it to a certain degree, but it doesn't match up with the older games. I therefore hope they will be able to make a good new game (GW6).

      The golden era of gaming in general is very much what you describe. Especially around -98 and the mid of 2000, thinking about 2007. When it comes to Gears of War as a franchise, the "golden days" (or whatever I call it in the vid), were the early games, starting in 2007.

    Im gonna give the best honest review of Gears Of War 5 to everyone.
    The game is just honestly not scary
    As your can see if you played 1,2,3 of gears of war the game is actually scary introducing jump scares and a lot of blood and killing monsters that don’t SPEAK 🗣️
    Over all I don’t gotta make a list of how bad or what’s bad in the game of Gears of war 5. When I first played gears of war 5. Obviously we played as JDFENIX BUT AS SOON AS WE ARE SWITCHED TO PLAY AS A FEMALE CHARACTER NAME KAIT
    I deleted the game. Now I’m not a misogynist but as you clearly see in the game is focused on Marcus
    Not a onlyfans girl with headaches about her mom getting pounded named kait with. Beanie on her head.
    So yes the game is trash
    GEARS OF WAR 5 is just so soft just like part 4. It’s purely wack.
    Note: if you don’t believe this game is trash. Look at all the players who had a decision to sacrifice JAMES FENIX OR DEL. THE FACT THAT PEOPLE CHOSE DEL TO LIVE AND LET JAMES DIE. AFTER WHAT MARCUS BEEN THROUGH. It’s purely insane I mean Marcus lost his wife,his bestfriend and now people get to make a decision to even lose MARCUS FENIX SON. i mean come on that’s his son. His last family besides baired and Cole. Anyway to the people who let JD DIE AND LET DEL WIN you are no better honestly. The game is pure trash and didn’t even care about Marcus FENIX. After everything he’s been through. Game is trash. Oh one more thing no their should not be a gears of war 6.
    For the love of god just make a remaster spin off series of just Marcus FENIX gears of war 1,2,3.
    GEARS OF WAR 5 trash 🚮
