Classic Gears
Ah, the good old days of 'Which GOW do you prefer? Gears of War or God of War' debate. Good times... I grabbed the game on sale for less than 10$ in my region. It recently went on sale for 600 Rupees (India) so for the price, it's absolutely worth it. Wouldn't suggest grabbing it at full price since there's a few issues Xbox/ Coalition need to iron out. I don't have much hope for fixes in a later patch since Reloaded is just a reskin of Ultimate Edition which came out in 2011. Might as well not stick around and just grab it when it goes on heavy sale. Pros - Gameplay is pretty tight. Cover mech is very so-so but we see where it comes from and how it's evolved into the version we see in Gears 5 and E-Day. Graphics and cutscenes are also great for a UE3. It's impressive seeing what the devs did with a overhaul remaster. I know there's been comparisons between OG Gears and Gears Ultimate Edition but despite all that, Reloaded is fun. It feels good to play, feels good to explore. Story is non-existent till you get to Gears of War 2. PC performance was also pretty good. Could run the game at 1440p High with DLSS quality. Was hitting 50-80 fps in most areas. VRAM consumption was a bit too much but I'll live with it. Cons - My friend and I booted this up over the week, loaded in Insanity mode COOP. So my cons will be largely talking about my experience at Insanity level. Enemy AI is too broken. Minions can one-shot you from 30 mtrs away. They can do instant 360 noscope one-shots. You can't ambush them. AI is broken here and seriously unfun. It's decent in the start but the deeper you progress, the AI gets worse and worse. Midway, particularly at the Opera level. It's obnoxious. Similarly NPC ai on your team are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ useless. They don't shoot at enemies. They don't revive you when down. They don't stay behind cover orr protect themselves from getting doiwn. Just remove them entirely. Also a nitpick but body collisions need to be turned off by default. I have gotten blocked by the NPC AI too many times or couldn't make my escape from exploding wretches cuz we were stuck in a tight corridor with no way to roll out of the way of each other. We were constantly getting body blocked, which just irked me since we were pointlessly getting downed for no real fault. Not really a con but RAAM boss was very irregular. It just exposes how often the enemy AI gets stuck on random invisible pieces of texture on the ground. We beat RAAM in under 20 mins since he got stuck unfortunately. So, in general NPC AI and AI pathing need to be improved. Also fine tuning weapon balance would be a nice touch. Everything else was a big plus. Gears 1 definitely laid the groundwork for tight 3rd person pov gameplay, the guns felt awesome to use, the active reload mech was cool, the coop sesh was cool. Enjoyed it with my friend. Loved Gears 5 and GOW 2 too. Will look forward to playing E-Day.
Great older game simple game play, simple controls don't need a 100 button gamepad to play very enjoyable.. A++++
Para alguien que juega Gears of War por primera vez, creo que el gameplay ha envejecido bastante mal. Considerando que estamos en 2026, hay varias cosas que se sienten súper tediosas, como por ejemplo que mientras corres el personaje se va trabando y pegando a coberturas con prácticamente cualquier cosa que encuentra. Y aparte, correr con la barra espaciadora... meh. Entiendo perfectamente que en su época esto fue una novedad. Era un juego donde el sistema de coberturas era parte central del gameplay, te escondías, salías a disparar y todo eso. Pero hoy se nota bastante el paso de los años. Lo pasé en coop en la dificultad más alta que te deja elegir en una partida nueva, no sé si después se desbloquea alguna más. Y la dificultad, al menos para mí, se resume bastante en que los bichos tienen un autoaim de temu y prácticamente una bala ya te deja agonizando. De nuevo, considerando el año en que salió originalmente, no creo que sea un mal juego. Es más, cumple perfectamente. Pero poniéndome en el contexto de alguien que nunca jugó Gears y quiere probarlo recién ahora, creo que podrían haber adaptado un poco mejor algunas cosas, sobre todo los controles. Digo, si ya vas a sacar esta versión con algunas mejoras gráficas y traer el juego nuevamente, ponle un poquito más de ganas y moderniza esas cosas que claramente envejecieron mal.
[h2]One of the most memorable title's in the old days, I wasn't much into XBOX back in the days but I really enjoyed this via Official GFWL version.[/h2] [b]CO-OP is where the experience really shines[/b], the story is still good to this date which keeps you on the edge, [b]always loved playing this with my Brother and did the same here too :)[/b] The [b]remake retains[/b] the [b]same controls[/b] from the OG ([i]For better or worse[/i], I for myself don't have any issues in this regard in general), [b]better graphics[/b], [b]Improved lightning[/b] ([i]Though I can argue that the old vibe is gone is some-scenes, especially the Kryll level, the horror & mysterious atmosphere has been heavily softened[/i]) [h3]Technical wise[/h3] The game has no performance issues at all, it's smooth as butter with 0 crashes in completely 2 different builds from different gens, the only thing you have to make sure is that you have a stable internet connection cause the game heavily relies on lobby system in main menu if you are hoping for COOP/Multiplayer. I never really cared for the Multiplayer potion ([i]not in other gears titles either[/i]) so can't say anything about that. [h2]Definitely a worthy purchase! [/h2] Though I got this through a sale still it's highly recommended if you enjoyed the OG. Here hoping we could have Gears of War 2 & 3 as well, fingers crossed! (on this or the 360 emulation in progress)
Дисклеймер: Я не играл в оригинал и мне плевать какой она была тысячи лет назад. Я пишу обзор на релоудед версию, которая является "новой" версией. Это посредственная игра для этого времени. Короткая, однообразная, багованная, неудобная. Стрельба посредственная. Враги просто губки для пуль, которые не реагируют на эти самые пули. Управление из каменного века. Система укрытий сделано через жопу. ИИ сломана, так как союзники либо застревают, либо вызывают софтлок в некоторых местах. Противники иногда спавнятся перед тобой. Две миссии просто не работали после боя, пока не перезапускал весь бой сначала. Бои типа "берегись, они наступают" и выходят на всю квадратную локацию 4-5 врага. Ближе к концу бои становятся лучше, но это только последние 20 минут. А последний босс вообще я не понимаю как правильно убивать. Летучие мышы просто за милисекунды убивают, хоть ты и стоишь на свету и из-за того, что у противников нет никакой реакции, ты не понимаешь, наносится ли в эту точку урон или нет, так как есть те, которым наносится урон в конкретных местах. Если очень хотите познакомиться с серией, ждите максимальной скидки. Оно того не стоит.
hermoso volver a esos años de antaño en el ciber :(
It was a fun campaign to play with a friend; we both had a blast. It would be nice for the other games to be remastered or at very least ported, as we have not played them before.
Forced a buddy to play it with me didnt realize how broken it was going to be. you can finish the game but if you are the coop player there are a lot of bugs can shoot through windows or doors shut that you can phase through but is already open for the leader. weird stuff
Рад что она вышла в стиме. жаль нету 2,3, 4, судный день в стиме, купил бы обязательно.
