If it sucks, then it will fail - simple as that.

This is MS we are talking about. Everyone loves to hate MS which is what I meant by the Apple thing. Apple is too cool to hate ;)

I think you're making the mistake of grouping multiple popular opinions into a single hive mind.

Apple receives plenty of criticism and mostly from the sorts of people who would also criticize UWP.

Sweeny has softened his tone after being in contact with Microsoft, but we don't know how they're going to respond in the long run. They're not comfortable with developers rallying around its death (already):

The "everyone loves to hate MS" impression is probably just a sign that you should stop taking it personally :D

Microsoft earns its fair share of criticism.

Apple is too cool to hate? I felt like rocketing my iPhone 3G in to the sun after owning it for a year. Went android after that and never looked back for a second. Been happier ever since. Apple socks a big fat dong, and they treat you like a retard when you pay their ridiculous prices for subpar hardware. Not at all too cool to hate in my book.

MS do dumb things, but at least their internal policy doesn't seem to be "ream the customer as hard as possible". If it weren't for compatibility i'd probably run a linux dist, but Windows isn't all that bad in the end. The windows app store though, no thanks. I don't want my PC to pretend like it's a console.

Personally? not at all.

You should look outside the US. MS may receive its fair share where you are but here in Europe, trust me, everyone loves to hate MS

Boy you ain't kidding. Playing the Gears remake beta was enough of a "good time". Once they tweaked that in 2007, I couldn't re-adjust to the timing. Get bodied all damn day.

Visually it doesn't even look that different from the remake, really bland and I can't tell the animations apart either.

Difference is it actually worked in 3.

It's a refinement of how it worked in 3, in 3 it was automatic while in Gears 4 you have to consciously press a button to do it and it kicks people while doubling up as a way to vault over cover quicker. It's also a way to vault up ledges quickly so you maintain as much speed as possible, the hitbox is pretty much the smallest thing ever.

Makes a world of difference when you're rushing for power weapons I have found.

My overall verdict on the beta is that it is Gears: 3fined. It's not revolutionising anything like the original Gears, but it's staying damn true to the formula and I love it.

I'd buy it if they just had Run the Jewels as the soundtrack for the whole game so I could feel like a boss gibbing all the children running around

Granted I wouldn't want the children telling me to have gay {insert racist name} sex with my mother somehow, to be listening to Run the Jewels so I guess that's not good idea either

Honestly that MP trailer hasn't changed my mind.
Also what's with FPS always going that flood, swarm, mutant route in sequels? Do they all just roll the same fuzzy dice with enemy options and "oh it landed on flood/swarm for us too, guess it's time! Nah we can make it look like that same tan skin colored bubbly monster shit too"

I am loving the Beta! I particularly like the grab someone over the cover thing. It's so fast that it prevents the opponent from shotgunning you when attempting it but it leaves you vulnerable if you fail or miss - very well balanced.

I have not managed to grab and execute with a knife yet, it requires intricate timing and clearly needs to be mastered. Like I said before the game does not revolutionize things but these little additions really spice it up nicely.

I also love the new weapon DropShot. I hated it at first but once you figure out how to use, it's awesome and the best part is the dodgeball MP mode!

Graphics do need quite a bit of work though but having this MP run at 60fps is awesome.

Oh. I wish I could drag some people from the depths and force them to eat crow over these screenshots.

There's nothing on XB1 to really compare it to, as far as I'm aware it's at least the best looking game on the console doing a 1080p 60fps multiplayer. Though I do feel that they might drop multiplayer to 900p.

Anyway, glad to see muh boy Rod got me on this one. Loved the beta, can't wait to see the campaign footage and finally play Gears 4 come October.
