I've been playing the game since it first came out. I also took my vacation just so I could be lazy around the house and play this all the time I wanted too. I am EXTREMELY disappointed in this game.
The campaign is just alright at best. I like getting to know the characters a little bit better, but the ending?..come on, give me a break. No final boss? What kind of crap is that.
As for the multiplayer..horrible. I was hoping they would fix the problems with the host advantage, not any better at all. In fact, it is even worse then before. Now you have a better chance of playing with overseas people which create such a great lag that it becomes such a bother to even play. Your only hope is that you or one of your teammates is the host so you don't have to deal with it. The chainsaw battles are just based on the connection to the host now. You could have a freaking turbo controller, but if your on the opposite team of the host who has some crappy connection, you'll lose every time. The chainsaw is just way too powerful now. 1 shotgun blast to the opponent should make him lower it, but now it takes 2-3 and sometimes that doesn't even work. I am tired of noobs just running at me with a chainsaw and I jump back and either: A) get sucked back into it. B) Try to shotgun blast, TWICE and still get chainsawed. or C) Get chainsawed by the guy behind me.
But of course, there is now some new glitches. The weapon slide is back, which isn't that bad. But, now there is one where you can turn your whole team, get this..INVISIBLE!? I can now see why people go to play Halo 3 and Call of Duty. IMO, Halo is not that good of game, but at least the makers of the game care about what the people think and actually fix the problems.
They have ruined this game. It used to be my favorite one, but until they patch all the problems (which I am sure they won't) I won't play it anymore.
The Gears of War series has been a consistent deliverer of quality for Xbox, but which games are the best?
Gears of War is my favorite video game franchise, and the Locust is my all-time favorite faction.
My rank list:
1. Gears of War 2
2. Gears of War 3
3. Gears of War 1
4. Gears of War 4
5. Gears of War 5
6. Gears of War Judgment (No Locust in multiplayer was a disgrace)
Agree 100% with this ranking. The campaign in Gears of War 2 is among the most fun campaigns ever made. It’s been downhill from there.
2 is still my favorite but 5 is also up there (for me). Then I'd say 1, 3, 4 and Judgement. Tactics isnt the same type of game, so it seems odd to rank it among TPS when its a strategy game. So I make that one all its own. Pretty fun game too.
The first is and has always been the best one imo - the story, the levels, the set pieces, the soundtrack - as close to perfect as a campaign can get.
I’d say the series had been on a continual downhill slide until 5.
3
5
2
1
4
Judgement
I love the series as a whole, but 4 was pretty by the numbers, and Judgement was just ok.
I played them all since picking up a Series X about 7 months ago. Personally, I don't think time has been kind to the earlier games and they feel very slow and repetitive to play. Whilst the newer games may be prettier, they stick with the original gameplay mechanics too much in my view so as a whole series of titles, I think they are pretty average games.
Not to say they weren't fun and I have a lot of nostalgia for 1 and 2, I just think there are far better action games out there.
What's the best Gears of War game for players? Where to start? This guide should easily lend a hand.
It's brilliant but personally liked part one more. It's the only one that had a near horror movie vibe to it in parts, the atmosphere was amazing.
Also, the commercial for it was 🔥🔥🔥

Mad World was such a perfect song for that trailer. I loved part 1 too just because it was so fresh at the time. The series has been solid, but experiencing everything for the first time was pretty awesome.
Gears of War 2 has one of the greatest campaigns of all time. Carmine, all that juice, fighting inside a giant worm, and riding monsters.
Gears 1 and 2 will always be my favorite Gears titles. The scene where Dom find his wife and then has to shoot her was an epic scene.
I always found that scene laughably bad myself. Fantastic game though.
1 will always be my favourite. Most were great with the exception of 4 being okay and judgement being terrible.
They still have the most satisfying headshots from any multiplayer game around.
My favorite Gears game list
1. Gears 2
2. Gears 3
3. Gears 1
4. Gears 4
5. Gears 5
6. Gears Judgement
Gears Of War is my favorite video game franchise. I can’t imagine how Gears 6 will look in UE5 after watching Hellblade 2 gameplay trailer
There is a rumored Marcus Fenix collection (Gears 2 & 3 remake) in the works at the Coalition. Hopefully, it’s true, but I doubt it.
For me you can't beat gears 1 the original was so fresh and revolutionary at the time.
Then basically I'd rank it 2,3,5,4 and judgement
One of the reasons why i got the series x. Been fan since the first game.
Played them all recently on gamepass. Great games. But my favorites gotta be gears tactics. Don’t know why. I just had a blast with it lol
The Gears of War franchise's influence has remained to this day with cover systems becoming as ubiquitous as regenerating health. With a new console generation upon us, it's time to list the series from worst to best.
My ranking list
1 .Gears 2
2. Gears 3
3. Gears 1
4. Gears Judgement
5. Gears 4
6. Gears 5
1. Gears 2
2. Gears 3
3. Gears 5
4. Gears 1/UE
5. Gears 4
6. Gears Judgement
Close to my rankings but some differences. My rankings:
1. Gears 3
2. Gears 5
3. Gears 4
4. Judgement
5. Gears 2
6. Gears 1
People will hate on me putting Gears 2 so low but I always felt the graphics were too busy to the point of confusion and the combat/movement hadn't really improved over 1. Lot of cool ideas but execution wasn't the best as far as I'm concerned.
Hey you are good at writing reviews how about a job at GameNewsForYou.com?
See you there
the fact is the Unreal engine is there engine and they can not get it to work right!!! this is a serious problem... SK was right in sueing Mark Rein and company. the engine is broke. the game has great possiblities but the engine is broke and holding it back. people say the clipping,glitches and screen tearing ect... is no big deal... it is a big deal to alot of people! i can not even play the game online... WTF when ever i seen UE games i am not buying them anymore;only renting...
I have to say I agree about the Engine. We have yet to see a Unreal Engine game that has not had slowdown or screen tearing or clipping issues or Collision Detection problems. Lost Odyssey, Mass Effect, Gears 1, Gears 2, UT3 among others they all have problems. Yet EVERYONE loves the engine? WHY? It barely works.
lol, 7.5 .. yeah, right.
lolol
Sounds like somebody sucks online.
