There's a lot of things I like about Gears 5. Like the hit markers, weapon skins, and special dialogs they added. I do wish they brought back the Loot Boxes, though.
Hey bro, I love your videos. I’m trying to get better at this game and look to your videos for advice. Just curious, which kind of controller to you use? Does it have paddles? If so, how many and what are your binds? Thanks!
I also cannot be positive for a second. If I am, everything turns upside down. If I think negative, somehow it turns out okay... its weird but its a mental state where I get scared when Im positive because I know somethings gonna be wrong after that xD Youre also so right when it comes to the fact that this game is luck based. It really is, no doubt about it. I LOVE this video, you spoke straights facts til the end! Love you man keep going!
Thank you for saying this! I did my thing in Gow4, would get my ones against pros that would play ranked against. Obvi they’re not trying, one game I played against a few optic players on reclaimed and rhey only used pistols, but for me to go positive then and almost aspire to go pro, thinking if I committed then there’s a chance..then G5 come out and that dream died immediately
Love everything you said in this one, Icy. It's the hard truth that ppl who like this game don't want to hear. Just take the ease of sniping from gears 2-5 as a prime example in skill gap. It's a joke how much point and click has made its way into our beloved Gears of War. And the slow walking is so comical to watch LOL.
I have been trying to highlight this problem for years and it's like talking to a brick wall The skill gap has been artificially reduced. Things such as increased Lancer rate of fire causes new players to be more effective than they should realistically be, meanwhile, shot delay reduces how effective a skilled player can be. In turn, it forces everyone into an artificial middle ground where nobody's true skill is accurately reflected. Bad players don't perform as bad as they should, skilled players don't stand out as they should ALL of the complaints towards bouncing and Gnasher play put us in this boring state whereby everyone plays the same because low skill tactics are assisted and high skill tactics are limited or removed Nobody will ever stand out when the game rewards you for being new and discourages from attempting a higher level play
Gears 5 is an opportunity game. It was their attempt to draw in more players and give them the opportunity to be good at the tough franchise we call Gears of War.
Halo and gears are definitely catering to casual gamers and that’s why they have little to no competitive scene. Since halo 4 the outside circle part of the BR reticle only needs to glance the edge of the player model for it to be registered as a hit. Also they don’t put a matchmaking emphasis on region so everyone has wildly different pings. Crazy big hit boxes and wild pings = death when you think you’re safe around the corner.
Ngl me and my boys used to be beasts at Gears 3, now they haven't played Gears 5 in like 3 years and I very rarely play because it always felt like we can't keep up now. Everyone is sweaty as hell or a wannabe pro it seems like. Lol
Sbmm and ones skill is a big factor on their experience in game. It happens in MW too. My entire team will go severely negative get devastated by absolute demons and I’ll be playing for my life playing obj and struggling to get to a respectable kd. As much as I hate Sbmm It’s not satisfying bullying on kids that aren’t good at the game. You can still force your will upon elite players it just takes me to dip into a flow state. A state where you become an extension of the game. You have totally control and command. You’re reading the situation and your enemy perfectly and you know what they’re going to do before they even know it.
Its because theres a form of sbmm involved behind the scenes I dealt with a cocksucker crew walking around with chainsaws raised on a koth match last night Active reloaded gnashers and wallbouncing meant shit when they would teleport to you from 10 feet away and get a pussy ass kill
I for one just want some better consistency in the next gears. and for the love of God just because e sports are finished doesn't mean u you don't have to update the matchmaking. It is wild some of the stuff that happens in lobbies.
I used dominate gears 3 lobbies mvp most times but gears 5 it’s rare 😂😂😂 you are so on point icy my friend told me 4 years ago don’t bother with gears 5 it’s not about skill I guess he was right this dude was 50 years of age experienced gears player to say the least
Honestly i used to think of gears like playjng chess you move into one cover see what their move is and move accordingly but thus game gears 5 is like the COD of Gears where you die respawn and die and respawn miss the spawn flips all of that now we got us spawning next to or behind enemies
1ping PC MnK player with zero input delay, he's invincible to us average players with average ping... which also counts as lucky like Icy stated in the vid. But Helios is also a good player, but has a very huge advntage as well. 😅
Exactly bro, These gears 5 kids hop on an older game like 4 or something and cant wallbounce and cant hit a shot to save their life.. Also with you being able to see how good of a shot you got off on somebody; With there being a spread mechanic, Theres no reason to use the covers cause you will know exactly how hurt you made the other person, It really is the easiest gears and still baffles me how some of your teammates can maage to go more than 6-8x negative most games
Honestly bro ur right evryone plays the same on gears 4 or 3 ppl played so differently ppl who still play gears 1 2 3 have there own ways to play after years of playing the game ur honestly right icy gears 5 is such a downgrade from the older games like I play gears 3 most days because I’m actually sad that gears 5 failed gears 4 was awright but after judgement it went downhill judgement ffa was different but ppl who play gears 5 like u said play the same way go back to gears 1 2 3 ppl play there own strengths not what’s easiest gears 5 in a nutshell is u up A and hope for a full spread
Gears 5 is my first ever gears game, and its horrible. It has everything to be great, everything is soo unique... but the game itself is trash. Other games rewards you for playing it, but not gears 5, no. It actually feels like you're getting punished for playing it. For every 99 in 2, every camo skin, every hit mark on a BOOMshot... I can almost hear TC whispering : "Thats what you get, thats what you get ".
Ur right i think another part of it big part is UA-cam …. Back in the day u had to be good from playing not youtube showing how to do everything…. We learned wall bounce in gow2 we saw guy fly up the steps then we had to learn …. Wasnt any youtube to teach us now …… u know
icy usually your takes are on point and most of this video is, but the part about it being the ONLY game you get punished for shooting you gun is incorrect. it happens CONSTANTLY in halo and overwatch/paladins, and somewhat in some other shooters however, i will say gears most certainly is the one that punishes the hardest and the most frequent for shooting your gun, but not the only.
Thx for the shoutout! Love your vids. You’re an inspiration. 💪💪
Thank you a lot bro. You’re the man
Ngl I needed that mini speech been feeling down lately and just being really negative on myself when I play gears and stuff in my life.
We love you Kazu. Stay strong man ❤

20:54 maaan the sound of the case hitting the ground, I love that detail
Also you should do more executions during matches haha. It goes good with the whole ego thing, and pretty funny.
17:55 I felt that !! Kid thought he had you dead to rights and you said NOPE !
16:35 "you know what, I'm milkin' that shit, I'ma farmer" had me DEAD 😂 I fck with cocky icy 🤘🏼
Loving the damn nearly daily uploads icy Ty
Do you use auto low latency or variable refresh rate? For tv & display options.

Amazing video icy🔥
When you get into your Groove, I don’t think there is anyone I like better . Keep doing you Nick we love to see it 🤞🏽😳🤍
Lmao naw you was GLIDING that second map no cap. “Brickatoni” is wild😂 22:10
Kudos to you Icy, for still making your videos and gameplay look like real GoW, any plans to do open lobbies from other GoW games or even 5?
Great video great insight probably one of the best you have done in teaching everyone about how gears should be and what gears 5 is
Good stuff bro, your community loves you too. Looks fwd to the next one

Icy "It's hard to dominate in this game... for you."
For me too bro trust me. This game is crazy
Its because theres a form of sbmm involved behind the scenes
I dealt with a cocksucker crew walking around with chainsaws raised on a koth match last night
Active reloaded gnashers and wallbouncing meant shit when they would teleport to you from 10 feet away and get a pussy ass kill
21:03 there's no way. how is this real life? lucky shot after lucky shot

Bro I think I used to play against you all the time in gears 3 when it was dying off
Honestly i used to think of gears like playjng chess you move into one cover see what their move is and move accordingly but thus game gears 5 is like the COD of Gears where you die respawn and die and respawn miss the spawn flips all of that now we got us spawning next to or behind enemies
Great video
We need a collab with icy and rise avexys where yall team up and go off on a control game 🎮
We too much alike Nick. We’re way too competitive with this Gears shi lol
Mannn I miss gears 3 in it’s prime
Pro.
Yet Helios doing 40-5 on average 😮
1ping PC MnK player with zero input delay, he's invincible to us average players with average ping... which also counts as lucky like Icy stated in the vid. But Helios is also a good player, but has a very huge advntage as well. 😅
so crazy that this is possible @24:02 lmao

We need another tutorial 2024
Oh yessa
Yeah they all will end up just self-destructing
Trust bro to get 50k damage whilst talking about how hard it is t dominate😭
24:34....wut da f@#$ is wrong wit u
I was acting crazy
@@RedIcy say less
Post more old gears 3 or even gears 2 videos where you commentate over wagers
