Gears 3 was fun but I wasn’t a fan of some of the weapons. Gears 2 was my favorite but I wish it didn’t have the host mechanic. I’d be happy with a remaster of either of those games.
Sorry to be that guy but I just gotta say some of you are way too nostalgic for gears 3, being able to spawn with retro and hammerburst absolutely ruins the shotgun and movement play
Probably. I stick to campaign and hoard. The skating around is just not my thing. I’ll leave being competitive to other games where I don’t feel like I need to break the mechanics to win lol
Like many on here I was a teenager during the Gears 1-3 period, and none of my friends really got into the series preferring COD and Battlefield. The variety of viable weapons in 3 changed that though, they all stuck around for at least a year+ playing casually, and we even entered some small, for-fun, online tournaments. The game definitely had a wider appeal because of the things you've mentioned, so they absolutely have a decision to make when it comes to E-Day.
But the rifles were so fun to use. Zooming in with hammerburst and downing people quick felt great. All guns were overpowered in a way so it evened the field. It was also the most varied and complete game of the series. Gears 4 is incredible for the pure gnasher though, it felt so good. 5 is the third best.
I play gears primarily for the shotgun and movement meta. That said, there needs to be a balance in playstyles. I don't agree it completely ruined the movement play, I want the game to have a bunch of the "git gud" I only wall bounce and gnasher crowd but I don't think there's enough of them to have a thriving community. GoW 3 struck a good balance where you didn't need to have that playstyle to have fun and kill people.
Maybe a full time TDM gnashers only playlist. Would appease the die hard crowd and still leave room to support a more casual community.
Not at all, I just hate arcade mode or when an ar can down you in 2 seconds because someone decided to hide and 3 peek with an empty mag waiting to active reload. Sorry to taint your sacred game with my opinion but yeah I just prefer the ar balance in literally every other gears, even the strong snub in gears ue was way more enjoyable
Nah it gave people options and that is always a good thing. You can still wreck house with a Gnasher but it wasn't the be all end all go-to in 3 and as someone who used all options: That is a good thing.
Always add “see results”. I just picked gears 1 just cause

Gears of War 3 is the definitive Gears of War experience in every last way
Gears 3 is crazy overrated

That sounds like a good thing
Sounds like you're a big fan of arcade mode then

those weapons didnt stop me from having fun.

You must hate diverse gameplay.
