I take a break for a couple weeks from GAF to enjoy Gears 5 without spoilers and trolls only to come back to all these shit show gears threads will all the usual pieces of shits trying to derail threads, troll, and ruin others discussion and enjoyment of the game. Fuck off GAF. A couple of you have been cool, but the majority of this place is a God damn joke. No one takes seriously any of the shit TLW, dforce, daniel, demigod, itwasntme, and plenty others, so what's the point of trying to discuss anything when paid shill and astroturfers are allowed to run rampant. Guess what though? All the old main posters for xbox are gone. Banned or fed up. Me too. Back to just enjoying games. Fuck this bullshit.
The older XBOX posters are gone because they always assumed the victim role, they peppered threads with the whole mob mentality and when things didn't go their way "they got bitter and used very coarse language and insults against posters".....How is that wanting discussion?.....Many times you guys would say certain posters are preventing your'll from having proper discussion, but as soon as said posters vacate the thread, either willingly or through mod action, that particular thread goes dead.......So this is not about wanting discussion, its about wanting to shut the opinions of certain posters so that your opinion can thrive and perhaps become an echo chamber...…
This is not how you convince people to love and appreciate XBOX, let the games do the talking......Hell, I'm considered a PS guy, but I rarely
make contributions to PS OT's, farless XBOX....Does it mean I don't play the games, hell no.......I prefer to discuss the technical part of games.....It's just so strange that people who say they are enjoying the game want to spend more time in the tech thread, when they have declared themselves not to be tech savvy or concerned whether a game is 60fps, 30fps, 4k or 1080p...…It's all about fun to you right?..... so go on and enjoy Gears 5.......Why are people who are having an objective discourse on the technicals of Gears so enraging to some? You having fun in Gears is subjective, that's why I don't go challenging people who say they don't like UC or LOU, its their choice, their take, even when I suspect they may be trolling by calling all Sony games the same, having no or mediocre gameplay.....I'll just express why that is not so, because objectively Sony games tend to have deeper gameplay elements, more ways top approach the enemies/levels etc....So I'll call that out, but if someone says they prefer Gears over UC, it's their choice, but even then persons have a right to challenge what is considered good gameplay and can have a mature dialogue there.....
For a while now, some of you guys have endeavored to make Sony games seen as movies you just watch, so it was never about having proper discourse even when it came to gameplay elements and discussions.......So if you are really not tech savvy and get an aneurysm because persons are discussing....
-Physics dialed down
-not 4k 60fps as many articles suggested before launch
-Worse shadows and ATD than before
-Some tech sites muddying the waters with wrong technical info
The point is, this is all objective discourse, which can be proven......If such discussion is so detrimental to your enjoyment of Gears 5, which you said you spent weeks away from GAF to enjoy, how comes the first thread you decided to open was a tech thread, why not the OT to give the Gears fans your take on the game and have the great discussion you seek? Or rather find very like minded people who love the game and give it praise? I may be wrong, but I searched the Gears OT and you never posted in it, not once.......
Anyways, I'm playing Gears right now as we speak...As crowbat showed lots was dialed down....I love TPS so I'm playing anyway...it's definitely not an ugly game, it's definitely one of MS's better efforts this year.....They tried to do somethings to make it more open ended and implement some RPG lite elements like most leading TPS at the minute.....I can't say I agree with DF saying it's the best PC port ever though....I get lots of stuttering in cutscenes, even a system freeze during one last night, had to hardboot, so Coalition definitely needs to get somethings sorted out.....It would also be great if they didn't dial back all those physics, shadows and reflections for the PC version also..... PC could definitely handle all of this at 60fps..........
