Not surprised it's so cheap already. It's sold poorly and was a huge disappointment for me. The devs were promising great things before release and in the end we got another re-skinned Gears game.

It only just hit me that Gears 2 made the biggest changes to the franchise with taking hostages, crawling away whilst down but not out, tagging walls, holding shields, executions, tonnes of new weapons and probably a whole lot more I can't think of right now. Gears 3 was a refinement of all those systems and was also a fantastic game as a result.

Gears 4 offers literally nothing new apart from a better frame rate in multi-player. They've gotten rid of some of the best guns and replaced them with terrible new ones, shields are gone and the stupid Splatoon style skins make it look like a kids game.

Don't even get me started on the campaign. Utterly dull new characters with a predictable story that doesn't add anything new to the universe at all. It's ridiculous how the game has barely changed since Gears 2 in 2008. I actually replayed that after completing Gears 4 and apart from the graphics looking dated now the gameplay is actually far more enjoyable. Hell I played Gears Ultimate before Gears 4 and the graphics, art style and gameplay still feel far more refined and enjoyable than this.

Sorry for the rant but I literally purchased an Xbone S to play this game and it was such a massive disappointment. At under £15 it's worth a go but keep your expectations low. I'd put it second bottom of the pile, just above the abomination that was Gears: Judgement *shudders*

Plus new @ £19.99

News to me they sell used.

Pretty good price, I still gotta get through the end of gears 2, the 3rd one and judgement before I buy this.

Oh aye, I know the real reason :wink: Waa-Hoo.

:smile: I only spotted them on the way out, to be fair mate. I actually went in for The Witcher 3 GOTY. They didn't have it :disappointed:

Walked out with Elder Scrolls Gold Edition.

You're all about that gold, nowadays. :neutral_face:

first 2 ok after that rubbish

Surprised you manage to sleep, let alone get out of the house judging by the number of game deals you post Buzz :confused:

Great game

Although, online it doesn't get my heart jumping out my chest like Gears 1 still does

​I've enjoyed it a lot. But where I play it splitscreen with a friend, and my friend hasn't been over much our progress has been halted.

If only they owned an xbox 360/1

If only I had a Smyths store that I could readily get to!

probably got an influx of trade ins :stuck_out_tongue: i traded my gears at smyths for resident evil 7 last week and got £22 trade in :smile:

Ah yes. I never even considered that to be honest. I own it digitally so I didn't pick it up.

ace game great price

Great spot Buzzington. Best end to a game in a good while.

Nice, I picked up a cracking Pre-owned deal in Smyths earlier myself, Minecraft on PS4 for £9.99, great price considering it still trades in at CEX for £21, found it at MK store and was only copy but worth a check if you've got one local, shame they dont list pre-owned stock online

And I still can't hear enemies behind me. I can be still, not shooting, away from any action, simply looking for the last few enemies to spot and get chainsawed from behind. With Gears 3 you could know the approx angle and distance an enemy was behind you just by their footsteps.

I'm a new xbone owner and have this game. It's a good laugh. Especially like Horde online. Well worth £15

Been loving the multiplayer on this. The Coalition have done a cracking job.
