Far too many softlocks causing constant checkpoint restarts. This wouldn't be that big a deal if it weren't for the fact that you have to replay full on fights/encounters. Great game but in an unacceptable state. No updates since launch month either.
What they did to act 3 is so much of a travesty I had to jump through hoops to get the original to run on my Xbox One S just so I could play the actually atmospheric version of what stands as one of the singular most memorable acts in the entire game for me. Overall, the AI is completely and utterly broken for this game, if you play co-op or MP only, you'll be fine, but if you do singleplayer you're going to be playing super soldier Macus simulator. It's cute seeing the AI squadmates not move the first few times but this gets especially frustrating the deeper into the game that you get when you're dealing with the split pathways where it's only Marcus/Dom and Dom decides he wants to stare at a wall for an hour. Unfortunate, but, hopeful that E-day will be better, and that this is more just growing pains moving from platform to platform.
I've been a huge fan of the series for ages, and the first game will always hold a special place in my memories, even if it's story is absolutely cheesy and just... void of substance in comparison to all of the others. I wanted this game on Steam because it's quite frankly easier than getting my old steelbook out of the collection and finding a new working Xbox 360, and I was hoping to maybe do a bit of couch co-op with people who've never played the series before. Sadly that's not there. I don't really see the reason in getting rid of the splitscreen co-op either. It was in the original game, and the re-release on Xbox One (which this is a port of). So it's exclusion is honestly baffling. The multiplayer wasn't something I was looking to bother with, as I've been more of a story/horde focused player, but the fact that there's no bot filling, no modern custom games settings, no way to really play other than queuing for casual and competitive matches feels like it's a bit of a misstep. It feels like they were trying to modernize the game with cross platform play, updated matchmaking, modern character skins (as well as pre-order only ones), logging into Microsoft (can't forget that), but they couldn't bother to modernize the multiplayer beyond that? It overall feels like a half-assed attempt at a quick port to get people playing the series again before they release Gears E-Day. I'm still gonna play it until I feel I've "Finished" the game myself, but unless you really wanna see how the series started for yourself, I'd say skip it. If you're looking for substance in a Gears game that's on Steam? Play Gears 5.
I always wanted to play the very first Gears of War and now I had the chance to play it without any complications that come with old games, without having to play on Xbox or emulate it. Sorry, but shooters should be played with a mouse and keyboard, and that’s what I did with this first entry. I don't know what else to say, it was just great thirdperson cover shooter action and even though there were a few bugs, reloading the last checkpoint was enough to keep going. I’d even consider this a cozy game, though it's far from it, that's how good it was. I can’t complain, the only thing that would be great is if all the titles were on Steam.
На Стим деке работает отлично. Дайте уже полную обновлённую трилогию. Хочется перепройти 2 и 3 части на десятый раз.
this game should be called broken gears its a horrible PC port If your a PC gamer only this game sucks. cover works about 75% of the time your squad mates just plain suck most times they just stand their facing away from the battle or the enemy. they rarly kill anything and definitely dont assist you takes to long to reload some weapons
Stop killing original artstyle over washed out "realistic" remakes/remasters
Отличный, но недолгий и резко заканчивающийся шутер без всякого лишнего вроде прокачек, лутбоксов и сезонных пропусков с внутренними магазинами. Тут хороший графоний (с учётом ремастера, мне зашло), пафосный саундтрек с отличными звуковыми эффектами и шикарной озвучкой, брутальные протагонисты, злобные враги без сострадания к ним, удобное управление с укрытиями (к бегу есть немного вопросов, но можно приноровиться), шикарная стрельба, нет тягомотины в сюжете и простой, но от этого неплохой сюжет в духе боевиков 90-х. Игра чисто для чилла и расслабона, в которой шикарно провести несколько вечеров после работы, выпустить пар, так сказать. Геймплей прост, как ускоренная перезарядка. Оружия не много, но и перебора нет. Есть автоматические винтовки, дробовик, снайперка, пистолеты (пара моделей) и иногда работающая орбитальная пушка, помогающая с некоторыми мини-боссами. Ну и да, бензопила в одной винтовке, но работает порой некорректно. Да и вообще тут бы подкрутить как-то лучше систему ближнего боя. Ну и самое главное – нет никаких политических и повесточных посылов и подтекстов. Всё просто и от этого ловишь кайф. По сути, я плачу за игру и получаю игру. Шикарно. Не играл в оригинальную версию, и не могу точно высказываться лучше она или хуже. Некоторые пишут, что атмосфера стала менее мрачной, но для меня она сопоставима тому, что происходит в виртуальном мире, а это главное. Не понравились разве что резкие переходы на видеоролики и не всегда почему-то срабатывающее использование бензопилы в ближнем бою. В общем, советую тем, кто хотел, но по каким-либо причинам пропустил игру в своё время. Играется хорошо, вылетов не было (я чисто за сингл). Бывало, что не проходило соединение с серверами в начале, но на прохождение кампании и получения достижений это никак не влияет. 8 перекатов из-за укрытий из 10’ти атак Берсерка. P.S. Разработчики, го остальные части в подобном виде. Надеемся и ждём.
Всё ещё ждём: - Gears of war 2 - Gears of war 3 - Gears of war Judgement - Gears of war 4 Хватит заставлять нас ждать. Ну а качество релоадеда так себе. Местами косячно.
The removal of couch co-op sucks fat balls man, do better.
