Gears Tactics Review - IGN

Gears Tactics does an excellent job of grafting Gears' signature look and feel onto XCOM's turn-based battle format and looks great doing it.

darthv721471d ago

I really dig turn based strategy more than real time. I like to have a bit of time to plan things out.

umair_s511471d ago

Looking good. I want to try it. Waiting for Xbox release

TranceHop 1471d ago (Edited 1471d ago )

It’s going to be torture waiting for the Xbox version. I’m planning on buying Gears Tactics with my Series X this holiday.

SamPao1471d ago

why? 100% sure they will not charge twice

sho0ok3601471d ago

Maybe he don't play on PC, why should he buy it now and play it later on Xbox SX?

SamPao1471d ago

@sho0ok_2 aaah sorry my bad I thought its out on xbox and pc. So its only on pc, I get it

Fishy Fingers1471d ago

Not a genre I'd usually try but with Gamepass and a LOT of free time on my hands I'll give this a go.

--bienio--1471d ago

I’m in the same situation. For 1£ it’s insane not to try gamepass:) Microsoft do bad things in the past, but maybe it’s time to get on track again.
Plus for a very long time one of the best game franchise coming first To Pc and is build especially for Pc I’m just sit and have fun and support this guys!!

alb18991471d ago

That's the beauty of gamepass, to try new things is always welcome.

King_Noctis1471d ago (Edited 1471d ago )

Can’t wait. Good thing this is on gamepass, as I had already preloaded it.

By the way, MS has no gaems?

Prince-Ali1471d ago

loool... So now were hyping Strategy games just because they've got a coating of Gears painting over it..? loool
You guys are hilarious.

Software_Lover1471d ago

... Sins of a Solar Empire, Civilization, Total War, etc, Supreme Commander, etc, etc are games that I have spent countless hours on an eagerly anticipated their release.

A game is a game. Just because it may be a genre that you do not like it does not change that fact.

MadLad1471d ago

What's wrong with tactics games?

fathertime44641471d ago (Edited 1471d ago )

Because xcom and wasteland were never praised right?! Prince-albert

If you don't know what that is google it because that isn't a spelling error

rainslacker1471d ago

Think they should be hyping strategy games. There really is a lack of then on consolea, and that needs to change.

itsmebryan1471d ago

Don't laugh. People are hyping PS5 heatsink. At least this is actually something.

Rachel_Alucard1471d ago

@rainslacker

RTS and strategy games historically do not sell on console. Not because of the controls but because the fanbase was brought up on PC since that's where most of those games released. X-com 1 did so poorly on console they skipped making console ports for the sequel for a year.

This isn't a knock on Strategy games you donkeys... It's a direct response to "MS has no gaems" comment by King_Noctis... This rhetoric about Gears Tactics is hilarious from people who you'll NEVER catch in an Xcom article which is in my opinion the KING of strategy games because they dont play nor do they care about Strategy games but as soooonnn as it's a strategy game that can fan their fanboy war all of a sudden its a plus one on their list of games to hype even though they wont be playing it for any real amount of time! THATS my point! this is the EXACT same thing that happened when Halo Wars came out even though these fanboys do NOT play RTS games but Halo wars was apparntly another game they were hyping to fan those flames and now they're also hyping Flight Simulator! it's hilariouuuussss!!! lool
ONCE AGAIN! THIS IS NOT A NOT ON STRATEGY GAMES! I have over 600 Hours in playtime on CIV 6 looooool! You guys have NO idea how much i love that game but you may carry on with your rhetoric lool 🤷‍♂️👍😂 ...

and to @steve That's Uncharted 3 not Uncharted 4.. Better luck next time but it's all good bro.

King_Noctis1471d ago (Edited 1471d ago )

“ This rhetoric about Gears Tactics is hilarious from people who you'll NEVER catch in an Xcom article which is in my opinion the KING of strategy games because they dont play nor do they care about Strategy games”

Huh? So let me get this straight, if people didn’t play or didn’t enjoy Xcom, they then wouldn’t play or wouldn’t enjoy Gears Tactics? So if you didn’t play GTA which is the king of open world, then you wouldn’t play games like Saint Rows or Watch Dog?

“ even though they wont be playing it for any real amount of time! ”

And how do you know that people who take time to download the game wouldn’t play the game AT ALL? Why wouldn’t they play It?

“ they were hyping to fan those flames and now they're also hyping Flight Simulator! it's hilariouuuussss!!! lool ”

What’s wrong with Flight Simulator? Is it because the game is not an exclusive third person action adventure cinematic story driven game?

umair_s511471d ago

What is wrong with strategy games?

AuraAbjure1471d ago (Edited 1471d ago )

My friend really enjoys the Civilization series.

Zeref1471d ago

We can't hype strategy games? lmfaoooo

"By the way, MS has no gaems?"

Is this supposed to be some kind of brag? Congrats on an 8/10 game I guess. If that's the best they can do the future isn't looking too good.

1471d ago
BeOpenMinded1471d ago

Ill piggy back that applause. More strategy and sim games. Xbox is doing more of those and that would be awesome for me. I always hoped integration w these types of games would boost Xbox ecosystem. Favorite genre... Total war next!!!!

King_Noctis1471d ago (Edited 1471d ago )

The best they can do so far this year is Ori 2, which score 90% on Metacritic. I don’t think I had seen you on any Ori 2 reviews articles.

And an 8/10 game is still a good game. If you’re only play 9/10 or 10/10 games, then I doubt you have that many games to play each year.

LordJamar1471d ago

I don’t think your a gamer not with that kinda thinking seriously yikes

travestyj1471d ago

Never said a thing about it being bad but it's funny you tried to use an 8/10 game as some kind of personal victory to rub in others faces with that "no games" line.

But then you used a side scroller to try to prove a point which is even worse.

Currently 81 on metacritic. Great score. Preloading on PC via Game Pass as I type. Looking forward to giving this a go.

15 Xbox Games That Should Make the Multiplatform Jump

While there’s likely already a list behind closed doors, one can still speculate and offer logical suggestions for titles new and old that should find their way into the PlayStation and Switch libraries.

GamerRN52d ago

Single A games and live service games. Those make sense

S2Killinit52d ago

None of it makes sense. But its happening.

Ps5conehead52d ago

That’s up to Microsoft they want return on there investment. From buying up those publishers. That’s what there in business for. And they made a mistake putting day one exclusive on game pass. So now Microsoft wants to profit any way they can.its called buisness . Just like Sony putting games on pc a year are two after ps5 launch.
So if they can make money off PlayStation and Nintendo. They will do that. And I bet soon real soon they will release some aaa exclusives .and I bet one day it will be same day release

TheEroica52d ago

Sony gamers begging for Xbox games.... Who would've thunk it?

BISHOP-BRASIL52d ago

Yeah, because random site off the internet represents all Sony gamers, they have the letter of attorney and all...

S2Killinit52d ago

Lol what a spin. You dizzy?

AsunaYuukiTheFlash52d ago (Edited 52d ago )

We don’t care about shovelwares. Get that junk out of PS5

StormSnooper51d ago

More like MS begging to put their games on PlayStation.

TheEroica50d ago

Keep begging Sony gamers!

Friendlygamer52d ago

Some of these seem to be exclusive for lack of enthusiasm of the publisher rather than because of deals. A lot of cool indies skip ps for some reason like katana zero, el paso, elsewhere and gunbrela

S2Killinit52d ago

Even more indies skip xbox. We know that right?

Friendlygamer52d ago

Quality over quantity, Microsoft got some really interesting and curated niche games on their machines, maybe in part because of gamepass

S2Killinit52d ago

Quality and MS are not things you bring up in same sentence.

shinoff218352d ago (Edited 52d ago )

Alot of indies skip xbox to. It goes round and round. Personally I think your off base on that but no need to have the argument.

Friendlygamer52d ago

Between katana zero, valheim, Battletech, el passo... I don't feel off base. maybe ps got a million of light novel games that will never release on Xbox but like I've said, I'm talking about niche games highlights, the 10%.

  Heck, it's probably thanks to Microsoft that the s.t.a.l.k.e.r games came to console ps included, meanwhile Sony backwards compatibility continues to be extremely anemic.

And I'm sure most ps5 users are happy to ignore these games and just play wathever new 3rd person action game is trending but it's cool that Microsoft gives some love to smaller audiences and software preservation

shinoff218352d ago

Again your off base just to be snide. All it's showing though is your ignorance.

One light novels wtf is that even. Ps has plenty of pretty damn good indies.

Speaking of indies and ms being responsible. You know F.I.S.T. of course you do alot of you guys just support gamepass. Well here's a history of Sony being responsible for helping indies. Look up the China project from Sony.

Lastly lol your ignorance showing again. Sony has plenty of games. Personally third person is better then first anyway but that's besides the point. Sony gets so many games that xbox doesn't get because yall don't support the games. Jrpgs being a great example. I personally am not into every Sony first party game. Alot of us aren't. On the other side you don't get to eat often so you gobble up everything. Me personally God of War not my cup, etc. For me I'm into jrpgs and ms just can't touch Sony on those. Again because the Xbox base doesn't support it. Devs dont wanna waste their time or money. Hit me up when falcom develops a game over there.

Speaking of third person narrative games. Aren't yall drooling over hellblade 2. The first one was Sony exclusive at one point. Another not my cup game. Showing we don't have to fall in line and agree we love everything Sony puts out. The facts are they sell though unlike elsewhere(not nintendo)

StormSnooper51d ago

You are same person as GamerRN, yes?

Abnor_Mal52d ago

They really think PlayStation fans would want to play Redfall? Pfft.

Personally nothing on that list would be any game I’d want to play.

TwoPicklesGood52d ago

I’d absolutely love Hellblade 2, Palworld, and Quantum Break on ps5 as I’m sure tons of others would too. There’s nothing wrong with wanting games from another console and its sad that people try to act like they aren’t interested in them.

shinoff218352d ago

While indont agree with the games. I agree with the point. Your not wrong.

DarXyde52d ago

Sunset Overdrive makes very good sense. Palworld might.

Don't know about the others. Hellblade II does make sense given the original launched on PS4 first. Quantum Break was a massive letdown for me. I absolutely hated the whole TV show thing and I don't think anyone should have to relive that on modern hardware.

Ranking The Gears Of War Games From Worst To Best

The Gears of War series has been a consistent deliverer of quality for Xbox, but which games are the best?

Read Full Story >>
culturedvultures.com
KicksnSnares686d ago

Gears of War is my favorite video game franchise, and the Locust is my all-time favorite faction.

My rank list:
1. Gears of War 2
2. Gears of War 3
3. Gears of War 1
4. Gears of War 4
5. Gears of War 5
6. Gears of War Judgment (No Locust in multiplayer was a disgrace)

ChasterMies685d ago

Agree 100% with this ranking. The campaign in Gears of War 2 is among the most fun campaigns ever made. It’s been downhill from there.

Zombieburger638685d ago

I’d say gears 2 and 3 are pretty even. I absolutely loved both of them.

darthv72686d ago

2 is still my favorite but 5 is also up there (for me). Then I'd say 1, 3, 4 and Judgement. Tactics isnt the same type of game, so it seems odd to rank it among TPS when its a strategy game. So I make that one all its own. Pretty fun game too.

Jericho1337686d ago

The first is and has always been the best one imo - the story, the levels, the set pieces, the soundtrack - as close to perfect as a campaign can get.

I’d say the series had been on a continual downhill slide until 5.

Om4ever685d ago

Naaaan ... 2 is the best by far

MadLad686d ago

3
5
2
1
4
Judgement

I love the series as a whole, but 4 was pretty by the numbers, and Judgement was just ok.

LoveSpuds686d ago

I played them all since picking up a Series X about 7 months ago. Personally, I don't think time has been kind to the earlier games and they feel very slow and repetitive to play. Whilst the newer games may be prettier, they stick with the original gameplay mechanics too much in my view so as a whole series of titles, I think they are pretty average games.

Not to say they weren't fun and I have a lot of nostalgia for 1 and 2, I just think there are far better action games out there.
