I feel like Jeff's review will encapsulate GAF's overall consensus of the game.
I thought I was the only one who hated the wall grenades. It totally kills the flow of the game for me.
nailed it.
You couldnt possibly be more wrong if you tried. It is clear you havent read or looked into anything about this game.
That's right, they are forgetting about GOW:A's multiplayer and coop that was added to the game which was totally new to the series.
Just seems like a cheap cash in on the franchise at this point.
Yeah both games added new things, but GoWJ has made a crazy number of changes, not saying they will all work, but to say it is adding nothing new is just flat out wrong.
There is like one genuinely new, class-based game mode and experimental changes made to the core gameplay. They are all very minor iterations on the established formula.

They should have given this game the Dark Arisen treatment.
Release the game and have it included Gears 3 base game and all the DLC + Judgement content. That way we could have at least gotten all the new weapons on the ton of maps released in Gears 3. Maybe even some pretty intense changes to GoW 3 base mechanics as well.
I'm thinking of cancelling my preorder
Playing some overrun and I'm literally screaming at my teammates to stop running snipe classes and help me place turrets and repair the fucking wired gates.
Then comments like "lol fuck tickers" while everyone rockets Grenadiers and playing like garbage on Locust side.
Game feels like Gears 2...
Oof.I'm thinking of cancelling my preorder

So there was controversy about the DoubleXP boost from season pass, and micro transactions for short XP boosts... and then Gametrailers review says that leveling up in multiplayer serves no actual purpose...
If my Gears buddies are getting it, i'm getting it as well. But i'm not taking the iniative.
No active reload damage boost? come one, that's part of gears core.
It never has in Gears, you will unlock some skins but that is it. It doesnt effect the game in any way. It is just for people that dont want to spend hundreds of hours getting up to level 100.
Active reload damage boost is dumb. Did you enjoy firing off shots at the beginning of every round to get that damage boost? How about firing off a few shots with your gnasher and reloading behind cover to get an advantage before you stormed out. The mechanic is dumb and has nothing to do with skill. I'm glad it's gone. They kept it in single-player, which is where it belongs.
Well Level 50 is max now and with double Xp from the season pass it takes about 6-7 hours. That is not too bad.

who were the people claiming that Gears would review around the same as the new God of War?
Yeah... GoW:A is a game that gets nothing new to the franchise: 7/10
New Gears of War game, nothing new to the franchise, 4 maps: 9.2/10

The repetition of the only 4 maps shit is really tired now because it's straight-up misinformation, as if that's all the game's really coming with. if you're mad with the way they're splitting the 8 + 2 maps, then so be it, but at least come correct.
I've had a blast with Overrun over the past two days, I would have never imagined it being so fun, and it got even better when I had four other friends playing with me and running strats. I knew I'd play it but it really took me by surprise.
Maybe you should try to read about the game you're mad about, because Judgment has not only had its core and all of the weapons totally revamped, but Overrun is completely new as well.

It is four tdm maps at launch is it not?.
The vast majority of players play TDM. TDM has 4 maps shipped. That's a fact.
Wall tagging is the worst thing introduced to the Gears franchise outside of the sawed off.
Hopefully they're both gone from the inevitable Gears 4.

The misinformation begins with the tweet from Jeff Gerstmann when he said that he was 'shocked' that there were only 4 competitive multiplayer maps.
Competitive..? is overrun a competitive mode or coop or what..?
Yes.I would never play overrun so is it correct there's only four maps for stuff like TDM?

Pretty sure it's coop. That's why everyone is saying their's 4 maps.
