    @FullDISK_ @GearsofWar The issue I have is them giving out their exclusives like halloween candy to every platform which defeats the purpose of it being a exclusive. It has driven me from the platform and all I use my Series X for right now is the Microsoft Movies & TV app and Final Fantasy XVI since I've wanted to play it forever and it's not on Switch. Even then they're shutting down the app movie app. You can't purchase shows or movies anymore and it's only a matter of time before they kill access to your library that you've put all your money into. I'm guessing the app failed, but what do you expect when you lock it to Xbox and PC when it's a streaming service. That's the one thing they should've had on every platform. Most people stream shows on a streaming stick, a smart TV, or a mobile device/tablet. Not to mention having the service on other consoles as a alternative to other streaming services would've made it more flexible so people would like it and use it more. Microsoft just can't manage anything right on the Xbox side of things anymore. Playstation sucks now too. I guess I'm just gonna get a PC as my 3rd party machine while I play all my 1st paty games on Nintendo.

    @MythionVR @AIZEN30XX @GearsofWar I don't think that's the issue. It apparently is really good on Steam Deck and on the Xbox launcher but universally bad on Windows desktop with Steam.

    @GearsofWar you guys have got to fix this server bullshit, you need to fix the gnasher, and for the love god fix the bug where you finish a match and don’t any of your xp. Just played an almost 30 minute KOTH match and didn’t get any of the xp. Please.

    @AIZEN30XX @GearsofWar All the people saying he must be new I played Gears 1 2 and 3 back in the day and the Gnasher was never like this EVER. Its 100% broken

    @Reluxies @GearsofWar Interesting. But I thought all players had to sign in with a Microsoft account, as it's a Microsoft game, no?

    @GearsofWar Did you mean to bring back absurd lag and host advantage?

  • Needmorepudds
    MrScratchApprentice (@Needmorepudds) reported

    @CoalitionGears you need to nerf the Gnasher omg I shouldn't be getting downed 20 metres away with one round non active reload. Holy it's broken and just ruins so much fun from the gameplay. I'm sure you'll ignore this feedback though. This game needs updates

    @GearsofWar We just gotta fix the 1 shot down with the shotgun & I think the game will last for a year

    @FatalStryke @CoalitionGears @GearsofWar Tell them to fix Microsoft linking accounts. Once you link an account, you can’t link a new one Messed up on my ps5 and now I’m stuck with the wrong account

    @YugiohSoraperse @Punk_N_Pi3 @GearsofWar Only thing with gears 5 was it was way too smooth and u could slide around with the broken movement… the guns feel good in gears 5 though, people are a little squishy though with the gnasher

    @GearsofWar I keep getting connection loss while trying to play versus on Xbox. Happened during beta too. Today my game completely crashed during a match. It seems to be getting worse somehow. Please fix it. Loving the game when it works properly

    NHL_Groyper (@Barcasaur) reported

    @GearsofWar Coalition is the most incompetent development team of all time. So much bullshit matchmaking issues can't even just update a remaster and not have it be total slop experience.

    @Community_Gears @GearsofWar You guys really need to give this another fix patch because I can’t understand when going against another person with a shotgun next to each other it doesn’t process please fix that it annoying

  • DrunkJug

    @CoalitionGears can anyone please explain how a glitchy *** beta has less issues than an actual game that releases a few months later? What is the point of these betas when the game is worse?

    @MythionVR @AIZEN30XX @GearsofWar Ppl say random things too. From everything I've read/seen mp shouldn't be a problem with this game on Linux

    Glorious Kev | The Ryujinx Enthusiast (@GloriousKev) reported

    @AIZEN30XX @GearsofWar Man, I need in on some of these PlayStation lobbies. Does anyone know if this works well on Linux via Steam? I heard there was issues on Steam.

  • ChaseIsSavage
    𝓒𝓱𝔁𝓼𝓮 (@ChaseIsSavage) reported

    @MrBubblyTTV @GearsofWar I had this same issue. What fixed it was signing out of my main XBL acct and signing into an alt. I’m not sure if simply signing out and back into your main would work, but switching to an alt did fix this for me (still got disconnects, but like once an hour or two, instead of nearly every match)

  • Reigdaer
    Carlos Josué Hernández Jaramillo (@Reigdaer) reported

    @AIZEN30XX @GearsofWar The best way to avoid this is *** GUD... That game mechanic had been there since it launched, is not a bug, not a glitch, is a skill issue

    @GearsofWar @CoalitionGears y’all need to fix the hit boxes on the shotgun there’s no way I shoot somebody 2 times and they not hurt at all
