A whole lotta Gears content dropped in the span of 8 minutes.
For me, the standout moment was the Trailer for Escape, a new
Mode with Multiplayer (I think)

We got a lot, and I mean A LOT of new gears content Monday at
Gamescom. Just a couple of weeks to go before Gears 5 drops.
I'll get to play it 4 days early. Can't wait. So pumped. Can't
wait to play Horde Mode as well. They are really pushing the
players out of their comfort zone, forcing you to play it
differently than you would in Gears 2-4.

2 new trailers dropped. The big news is that Bautisa is getting
his own playable character. A lot of new stuff. Crazy that up
till a few weeks ago, the marketing for Gears 5 had been
horrendous. A lot of people were speculating that Gears 5 was
awful and that Microsoft was doing everything to hide the fact.
Turns out to be the opposite. The embargo has been lifted on
Reviews and everyone I have seen has been raving about Gears 5.

Been playing Gears 5 since 6pm yesterday (when it went live on
the West Coast). Played about an hour of the campaign and love
it. It's one of the most gorgeous games out there right now.
Looks slick. Feels good too. Now as far as Horde Mode
goes....really haven't been able to do much with it. The problem
is that everyone is playing Gears right now and it's destroying
the servers, kicking people out of their sessions left and
right. Horde is about surviving all 50 Waves to declare victory.
As of today, I have yet to advance beyond Wave 15 before getting
kicked. Played 5 Public Horde Session and in every case,
everyone gets the boot.
And now, Xbox itself is down. No one can sign in. So, I can't
even play Campaign while the Gears team fixes their Servers. Now
I have to deal with Xbox as well? This is bullsh*t.

I think I'm about half way through the game (maybe a little be
more than half way) and I'm really digging what they've done
with the series. On the surface it looks phenomenal. Best
looking Gears game there is (although there have been a couple
of spots during the cut scenes where the characters were clearly
rushed and doesn't look as good as some of the bigger set piece
scenes). Minor gripe and doesn't really affect the overall cool
factor of the game. The story is really interesting. Be back
with a final review of the game once I've finished it.

SPOILER ALERT: Read with caution if you proceed further
So, I just finished Gears 5 and overall I really enjoyed the
game. Visually is the best looking Gears yet. But I'm not gonna
talk about the technically aspect of the game but more on the
story....or more specifically a KEY element near the end and
that's when we, as the player are asked to choose who to save:
Del or JD. Now when I made the choice (to save Del), I had it in
my mind, in that moment that Reyna was just going to kidnap JD
and that would be our final mission: To Rescue and save JD.
Nope.
It's literally a Sophia's Choice. You choose one, the other
perishes and it was truly, utterly shocking to see JD's neck
getting snapped. I was totally caught off guard and immediately
started regretting, overthinking if I had made the right choice.
I didn't think this choice would have such a profound impact on
the rest of the game. But then my analytical mind kicked in and
I began to think long term for the franchise. We all know that
this is the 2nd installment in the latest Gears Trilogy. We know
a 3rd one will come out.
So. How does The Coalition (Game Studio) account for this? Think
about it. I chose to save Del for my playthrough and immediately
began to think as a writer for the 3rd part. Either Del dies at
the end as well to take out the equation of either Del or JD
showing up in the 3rd installment and thus freeing up the
writers need to get around what the player ultimately chooses.
So, Del makes it to the end. JD is gone. So here is the dilemma.
What about those players that chose to save JD instead? You see
where there is a huge plot hole now?
Gears 6 rolls around and Del (or JD) is now back in the game, in
spite of whatever choice the player made in Gears 5. I have no
f*cking idea how the Coalition gets around this massive plot
hole.
For the sake of knowing everything, I went back and chose to
save JD after the fact just to see what happens. Like if I chose
to save JD instead, Reyna would still kill him. Choosing to save
JD ends with Del getting his neck snapped and the following cut
scene shows JD crying at the lost of Del as Del did for JD when
he went down. So yeah....I'm baffled how they are going to get
around this in Gears 6.
