Gears of War: Reloaded

Do not buy this port of a port. I had my issues with "Gears of War Ultimate Edition" on the xbox store, but this steam version is just riddled with bugs that will not be fixed. It would take dozens of trys to connect and play campaign with a friend. If we joined together in the menu, it would kick me when he started the game, and if I joined after he had already started playing, it would not let me connect unless the stars alligned. Additonally, it would just remove me from the game in some of the larger encounters on Co-op. On top of that, I encountered several graphical glitches, achievements would fail to unlock, the annoying prompt to connect your accout to play. Conceptually, this is just a cash grab. The 360 version with xbox live was easier to play with a friend than this one. That being said, E-day looks great so far.

Didn't let me connect to multiplayer, no sort of DNS or Port changes did anything to fix it. Typical Microslop. Finished the original on the xbox instead, It's alright.

Coalition e Xbox deveriam ter vergonha de lançar um jogo que simplesmente não abre.

i love this

tuff

literally the same game, again. no complaints.

unplayable after whatever update, and coalition dosen't care. no one to call EDIT: found the fix, game is goated

I went into Gears of War: Reloaded curious as to if it still holds up and if there's any value to playing the first game in the series considering how much shooters have evolved since the mid-2000s. This was my first playthrough ever and I had a blast. The game wasn't nearly as dated as I had heard, the graphics look great, the story's a nice ride, and best of all, the gameplay is incredibly fun. You take cover, shoot, run, and repeat. Simple as that and yet, it managed to be entertaining all the way through. The game is in a sweet spot where it doesn't go on long enough for a gameplay loop like this to go stale while still being satisfying by the end. As for the story itself, it was fun, if not a tad bit basic. It was probably a relatively fresh story when it released over two decades ago. Playing on a harder difficuly definitely makes the game more tactical and gives it some spice. An unexpected highlight was the main squad you run with in the story. Marcus Fenix and his team have a great dynamic and are, mostly, easy to get attached to. The only issues I had were some textures popping in late, frame dips, and a chapter at the end of the game that was oddly unbalanced, difficulty-wise, compared to the rest of the chapters. The mutiplayer was also pretty fun and still has active players. By the end though, I really did enjoy my time with Gears of War: Reloaded and I hope the rest of the series gets remastered/remade and brought to PC. 8/10.
