I'm a huge fan going back to Gears 1 and just wanted to post this. Not sure why because I'm not planning on giving up on the game. I just wanted to say something.

In the past series there was always something to provide a draw or interest. The big issue with 5 is that I despise the weapon tuning and movement/gameplay choices so I have no interest in playing competively or really even casually in the current MP environment. Gears 5 doesnt provide that addicting feeling from getting kills and winning matches anymore. Everything feels slower and far less skill based.

I beat the campaign, finished the tour, unlocked the new heroes I wanted, maxed out my favorite horde and escape characters, and am now left with a sad realization.

I dont want to play this game without artificial incentive. Is anyone else feeling the same? Gears 5 feels like I'm just constantly waiting for something.
