The Midniter posted:I've got a couple hours into this game now (MP). It's a lot of fun and definitely scratches that Gears itch, but I just cannot get down with the audio. I play with headphones and the directional audio is just loving garbage. Hear something to your side? He's in front of you. Hear something up ahead? You're being flanked. Hear something with no directional cue? It's from across the map or some poo poo. I rely a lot on audio cues, and while I'm not expecting the polish of them like in Overwatch, the quality here is just garbage. Holy poo poo dude I was going to make this exact post. I have no idea how nobody has talked about this? In multi-player audio is unusable. I hear firefights halfway across the map like they're behind me.

How does the game handle the free copies of the earlier GoW games? I bought it on the PC but I haven't received an email or anything.

What is the deal with pubs who drag the Fabricator across the map into the very back of a spawn zone, or into some sniper nest like it needs protecting? All it seems to do is make returning power a huge chore and encourages the engineers to cram a bunch of buildings into a single tiny corner where they do nothing until they get blown up by a single Boomshot notlocust. God help you if you try and move it somewhere the players can reach each wave; they'll drop from the game at the slightest provocation. And now the scout is downed on the other side of the map surrounded by killer robots where are you goons

Judging that the AI does that in the introduction to Hordes part of the single player I imagine, at some point, Hordes had a protect the fabricator element to it and they're just going from what they think they're trained to do?

Yeah, I bet the fabricator used to be a defend objective, but I tend to have the opposite issue where no one bothers using the drat thing.

extensive hiding from boomshots leads me to believe the fabricator is indestructible. most of my shotgun duels in versus only ever end when a 3rd player shows up, since the 2 of us are wallbouncing around so much we're unable to do anything more than wing each other

Long sightlines for manned turrets to mow down the incoming horde is the best way to go. That being said, don't need to stick the fabricator all the way at the back.

Elliotw2 posted:Hey, I got my first 1-50 Normal clear with some randoms! As long as those turrets stay manned and someone's around to pick up the power left on the field, it really doesn't matter what the other players do. So far, most of the winning games with goons boil down to this strategy: 1. Engineer picks a chunk of the map with the best sight-lines for turrets and parks the fabricator nearby 2. Scout with power-boosting cards (that's me) goes around melee'ing the hell out of stuff to eek out as much early power as possible before wave 10 3. Engineer builds barricades and enough turrets for the team to man as he feels comfortable, then keeps everything repaired with the efficiency card 4. peak murder is achieved as 2-3 turrets are kept constantly manned (possibly by heavies with the turret/marked damage card), murdering everything before it can become a threat, then the scout goes out to gobble all the leftover power before the wave ends and turns it in for a net profit thanks to bonus power/repair efficiency cards 5. Sprinkle sentries and decoys around the turrets for flavor, make a gun collection with weapon lockers, laugh at the Snatcher boss that dies in 20 seconds of focus fire For the moment a good team for making it far on Horde seems to be Engineer - Engineer - Scout - Heavy - Heavy, with a good scout and engie being pivotal for reducing money woes.

This is a Gears-rear end Gears game, for better or worse (mostly better). I thought they'd do something to change up the clunky weapon select function but I guess at this point that's never going to change. Anyone know how seamless the Windows play anywhere pretty is? Going from 60 FPS down to 30 when we jumped into Horde was pretty jarring. I'd like to hop my PC for non-versus modes.

I was worried about Gears 4 after playing Horizon 3 on PC, but this is a fantastic port. Play the PC version if you are able to, even low end PCs can play this at 60FPS very easily.

It syncs your progress everytime you go online in either version, and you can crossplay xbox/windows in horde. The PC port is overall pretty good though, I get 60fps on mostly high with a 2gb GTX 960, though the textures are hilariously broken on 2gb vram. https://gfycat.com/RealActiveChinchilla Minor spoilers in the subs if you care.

Gears 4 for my settings uses around 2.45GB of vram. A 4GB graphics card is really required for high settings and above.

Should be able to max it out on a 1070 at 1080p then I guess. Just glad to hear I can easily go back and forth.

Played some escalation today, the 3 ring instant win effect makes for some great clutch steals even you're getting destroyed in kills. Does the competitive playlist have any modifiers to health or anything? I had 2 or 3 instances where I'd manage to down a guy but didnt manage to finish them off despite dumping 2/3rds of a lancer mag or 4~ shotgun rounds into them while they shuffled away out of sight (there was another guy covering him waiting for me to pop out). I'm sure they're not so bulletproof in other modes  Does ADS have any effect on gnashers other than making the drat things harder to track with? once i stopped ADSing and just hipfiring instead i had a lot more success with them.

Some modes have exceution rules and some have warzone rules for when you're downed meaning you might have to get closer to kill them. If you hear a buzzer type sound when shooting someone on the ground that means you're too far away. You are right about hip firing the shotgun, its much better but that are times you want to ADS and shoot to get a more powerful shot. The thing is you want to quickly tap ads and shoot, not just hold it. I was playing some PC this weekend and it was hilarous because everyone was just standing still and ADS shooting the shotgun. Because the social playlists make the shotgun so much more powerful it kinda worked.

Execution rules own and it's a shame they aren't used in more modes. There are plenty enough pew pew pew kill across the map games and Gears was cool because it was different

So I got the physical version of Gears 4 Ultimate at launch and used all those codes in that flyer to get the 360 games, and on Tuesday they sent me some XBL messages with more codes for the 360 games, which I thought they only did if you got the digital version of 4. I checked and the codes are, indeed, different... Is this supposed to happen?

Don't worry about it just do what you want with them. Theyre basically just trying to get Gears in as many homes as possible.

Lumpy is a cool guy and bought me this as a gift because he's a cool guy. My tag is Sdoots. I'm still readjusting to some of the changes, but I definitely had a few good moments last night. The Enforcer seems, well, silly to me. It fills a niche that doesn't really need filling. The rifles could already handle a shotgun rush if you saw them coming, and apparently the Lancer has been buffed this time out. I wouldn't want to give up my potential for quick kills by giving up my Gnasher, and I like having some reach, so giving up my rifle isn't very appealing either. That leaves the Enforcer out in the cold. I've only put a few hours into MP, and am around Act 2 Chapter 3, so that opinion might change.

I was playing the campaign solo and literally stopped in Act 4 somewhere when Civilization 6 came out. Now I'm thinking like, poo poo, I should have just returned this to Gamestop for some bux but it's probably too late to get more than 20 dollars at this point. I dunno, should I keep this game and try horde mode and multiplayer?

Horde mode in the Gears games is probably my favorite multiplayer along with Halo Reach's similar modes. TDM/Execution is good poo poo too.

I got a free copy of this with my new videocard and I figured gently caress it, I'll get back into Gears. Played 1 a lot, played 2 as much as the lag would allow, played 3 a lot, never touched Judgment because gently caress that. So far the campaign in 4 is solid (Act IV atm), I played one game of multiplayer and got put into team deathmatch with respawns.  I guess I gotta play Competitive for Execution, which is a little weird because I super-duper don't care about ranking up in video games anymore, but Execution is what makes Gears feel unique.

Execution (and Warzone,Dodgeball, etc) are modes in quick play, but TDM's still fun enough.
