I spent too much and got crap… like I got duplicates. How you got both of these legendaries is a complete mystery. I feel so cheated, they should’ve at least gave you the characters just for buying it and made the additional skins bonuses.
Do you get anything for duplicates like Overwatch at least?
You get to scrap them but even then it could be a duplicate common worth 5 scrap which is not worth the value of getting any non-duplicate card.
Did 50 waves on insane, lag spike around wave 28 caused it to not count as one session and none of us got the achievement. Fml.

I was pretty happy with this one;
Hate to say it, but i’m really not feeling this game. I have tried to get into it and I just can’t. The microtransactions were a huge reason I got turned off from the game. I mean, it’s just a ton of little things about the game that just made it a struggle for me to deeply enjoy.
Who knows though, maybe Gears is just done for me… I could’ve possibly just outgrown it. Or maybe it just isn’t as great as I wanted it to be.
I will still play it no doubt, but yeah, it isn’t the Gears I expected.
Even if you like the microtransaction aspect, the gameplay is pure Gears. I don’t think people should allow their dislike of microtransactions to cloud their enjoyment of the game considering the MTs are only cosmetic (outside of Horde, anyway), because in the end you’re only going to hurt yourself by not playing a game you otherwise enjoy!

It’s a lottery really. Sure some of the items are cosmetic while some are necessities, the issue still stands. You have to grind for credits until you have enough to afford for packs.
Agreed, but it still feels lackluster. The executions are nice but the animations are wonky. The blood texture looks like red paint opposed to the thick mucusy blood we’ve come to expect from Gears.
Like I said, it’s a lot of little things. I’m not saying it is a bad game by any means, but it isn’t what I hoped for. I still enjoy it though.

eSports packs are back in stock; I grabbed two more and opened Black Steel Oscar and the Black Steel Gnasher in the first and Black Steel Del and the Black Steel Torque Bowin the second.
I’m only missing BS Reyna for characters and a few of the weapons, but having the characters and skins I do is pretty awesome!
Did a solo insane horde run. Didn’t realize the achievement said “in a squad.” Five hours wasted. Did it a second time with a second controller, game crashed on wave 38. Four hours wasted. I think I’m cursed to never get those achievements.

Why not just play with some others?
Personal challenge. I like making some achievements harder than they require,
Just finished solo on insane. I think this might be my favorite campaign of the series. I missed five collectables though.

I just got a mail from TC feedback program. It was only about packs. I didn’t buy any, But played enough matches online to get like 5 to 6 elite packs with nothing great on them. And yes, these microtransactions are horrible.
I’m trying to get used to this Gears multiplayer so far. I have mixed feelings for not having a closer server (the closest one is in Latin America, guessing Mexico? and it’s 114+ ms ping). This time Brazil didn’t get the classic server they do (which still astonish me, this leaves South America without servers).
Why mixed feelings then? Because first: they don’t get crazy advantages for being practically “host”. Still, they do continue sponging if they play in stacked teams, they even sponge between them. By sponging I mean “eating bullets”. The bad side is that having a far away server we get a lot of issues regarding to lag and sponging, it’s harder to move, react and whatever you do because of distance. They are seeying things that really happen and you see them throwing a grenade that is just over you but you didn’t see the full animation. Lag: the devil itself of online gaming.
What I hate the most, the not that skilled player that shoot you once and destroys you from 5 meters away and once you get a gib shot this pop up “40% or 83% damage”. I should be used to it by now, but whenever they start dancing and tea…ing as if they were that good, that’s when I can get a bit upset.
The last time I got to play with Guttermagic on stream (With US west I have 200+ ping), I got from first to second place. I don’t see myself as a bad player, and I hardly tea…ag, even though ppl tend to snipe me a lot…
But being totally honest, I find this GoW different in a boring way. Just like Ultimate, it’s great if you have the upper hand in connection, but when you don’t there isn’t much you can do: it’s hard evading because of cooldowns and difficult to counterpick any situation without a very competent team.
By the way Ultimate had some nice gnasher battles, this GoW 4 it’s pretty different when it comes to shotgun battles (unless is competitive playlist, as you can imagine core damage is increased).
Hit me to play some time if you want if you see me alone, even with lag I’ll try to do my best.

I agree with a lot you said about the shotgun. The consistency is really bad just like other games. I get that inconsistency is likely to happen, but this doesn’t feel as consistent as Gears 3.
This Gears does feel different to me. Honestly, it doesn’t even feel like a Gears game. The new characters seem extremely boring. Oscar is somewhat funny, and Reyna is cool in the story, but the rest are quite uninteresting. Even the new COG chairman is a joke. She isn’t as intimidating as Presott.
Hopefully he next update adjusts the multiplayer for a better feel in terms of gameplay, and adds some more classic COG and Locust. The game just feels so empty to me.
