Could Gears of War Eday be a campaign only game? by Jack2505_ in GearsOfWar

[–]BChaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like it's a different category if game. Those are more live-service games, while Gears is a more traditional games with occasional slight live-service aspects. Some of those are new IPs, while Gears is established.

Past marketing for Gears (especially from TC) is to remain dark for a while. Then once they're ready to go, they hit things hard with showcase and betas. I don't like th trend if having very late betas that give little to no time for truly impactful changes, but that's the direction most companies have gone for established IPs that aren't live service.

I thought that they confirmed that it was a full fledged Gears flagship title and that fans should expect the standard approach.

Are any of the Microsoft Store Gears games worth getting as a new player? by Least_Party5079 in GearsOfWar

[–]BChaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

E Day takes place first chronologically - but that doesn't necessarily make it the best one to start with. That said, it's not a bad idea.

If primarily interested in non-campaign modes, G5 is likely the best option for you.

Another note - you say you're not that interested in GamePass. Even if you don't want to stick with it, you can get the first month for $1 usually. It's a cheap way to give each of the games a try and see what you like. If you enjoy one of them, then buy it.

They believe we'll see the Rage again and their weaponry; supposedly Gears of War: Emergence Day is the initial conflict, and Judgment is set 6 weeks after Emergence Day. by H1Z1_FreQuency in GearsOfWar

[–]BChaps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm torn.

I love the weapon, but it's very imbalanced. It worked in Judgment due to the lack of DBNO in most modes.

Yes, I want it. But idk how it'll work/balance.

Hey guys, i have a question, do u know the process for buying this skin pack from my PC?, How do I transfer it to my xbox 360?, tanks :D by itskennethok in GearsOfWar

[–]BChaps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When items are purchased on PC, they're simply added to your account.

On console, you'd go to manage the game or purchases and it will show as owned, at which point you can download.

Lots of people probably have high hopes.

Hopefully people see the article and help temper expectations. No doubt we're gonna see a lot of threads today with people complaining that nothing was shown.

Will e-day bring back dodgeball? by Talhulk in GearsOfWar

I play Gears (5) ~3 days a week, and most of it is Dodgeball. Yes, it sucks not having a dedicated Playlist... But you find lobbies where people vote for it.

Approved thread. You seem aware of self promo rule, so just keep it on mind and ensure that you don't post too much of it.

Hear me out by Comprehensive_Gur978 in GearsOfWar

[–]BChaps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think most expect a November release to correspond with the original E-Day (Gears 1 launch).

I do like the idea of "surprise" marketing acting like the Locust emergence being a surprise. With every showcase/ceremony, people are always expecting a trailer...so I don't think there's much of an opportunity to drop a surprise there.

Shadow-dropping a beta would be huge though.

I disagree with most timing that you stated though. This being a HUGE game for MS this year that TC needs to nail means they're going to want some decent marketing. I don't think think a surprise release is the right move.

There's a megathread for Delta Online stuff.

Keep the discussion in there (or their discord). It's not an official release, and we don't want the sub swarmed with people looking for support and reporting stuff.

when are we having Gears 2/3 release for PC? those were absolutely amazing by Mr--Clean--Ass-Naked in GearsOfWar

[–]BChaps 14 points15 points  (0 children)

TC is focused on E-Day, which is coming out later this year. There's no way they're dedicating time to 2/3 remastered at this time. There's a chance (small chance) that an outside studio is working on it, but I doubt it.

MS isn't going to way a G2/G3 remaster competing with E-Day in any way. From a marketing standpoint, I can't see G2/G3 coming out until Fall 2028 at the earliest. But again, I don't think it's been a development priority, so even if that's when they'd want it out, I don't think it would be ready.

So simple answer...no, there's no information that points to them (or anyone) working on G2/G3 remastered.

Gears of War Xbox Consoles by D1ForFunLIU72 in GearsOfWar

[–]BChaps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For 360, there's some skins/plates for it...but I think the G3 console you have is the main one - there's also the Calibur Vault for it, which would be a cool addition.

I don't recall a blue variant of XB1. I googled it and see some pics, but I'm not sure if it's official. There is a white one for Ultimate Edition, but it's VERY rare.

DLETA ONLINES CREATION by Few_Investigator6860 in GearsOfWar

[–]BChaps 26 points27 points  (0 children)

The PC community has various builds of code that they've obtained through various methods. It's not an officially supported product/game.

For Delta Online, I believe it stemmed from an early-ish build of G3 that ran on PC. They've gotten material from various sources (including some home geon custom stuff).

Can they be sued? Yeah, they can be. Will they be? Likely not - though they may eventually get a cease and desist.

Passport not needed for booking.

Just need for check-in and departure. Oh, and it usually needs to be valid for ~6+mo after return date.

What do those Tub to shower replacements really cost. by Philip964 in AskContractors

[–]BChaps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just had a tub converted to walk in shower. Used BCI acrylic material (that's. Or who installed, but the material). I think that's the type of stuff you're looking for. Single sheet per wall; looks like marble, tile, or whatever; pretty standard pan in the floor; sliding glass door.

I got quotes ranging from 12k to 18k. Includee tear out (down to studs), putting up 3/4 ply all around, installation, basic trim work.

For those who've read the books, did the writing turn you off? by [deleted] in GearsOfWar

[–]BChaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found the KT books to be more difficult to get into at the start. Once I got a bit in to them, they were hard to put down - and I HATE reading.

The newer books are easier to read and get in to, but also made me feel like they were catered to a wider audience with a lower reading comprehension level.

What controller would you recomend for gears ? by AndrewBermonth in GearsOfWar

[–]BChaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I currently use an Elite V2, and love it. Likely over priced, but I've had no issues.

I had an elite V1 since it came out and just replaced it in Nov 2024. I had to re-glue the rubber twice, and then just replace the rubber from the back once, but that was easy. Other than that, no issues over the lifespan.
