He will be a playable character in G5

 

[Zorro]

Oh damn

 

[Iceman]

Awesome! I always wanted him as Marcus Fenix in a Gears of War film. He’s campaigned for it quite a lot too apparently.

 

[P Supreme]

I always saw him as Dom but since he is not Spanish most "woke" people will have a fit lol

When he was at his peak in WWE, his hair was much more like Fenix. Back then when he was bigger too, he really used to look like Marcus. Looks a bit more like Dom now I guess.

I think the plan is to eventually put all first party games on gamepass, whether they’re good or bad. Anyway we’ll all know tonight!

Yeah, there will be tonnes on from tonight and all weekend. I’m probably gonna be out Friday night but will probably get on anyway depending what time I get back.

I hope they don't drop half finished games and makes us pay for stuff that should be in game already
thank the gods for companies like project red and rockstar

 

[Iceman]

I just got time for a few games of king of the hill which were really fun. That Vasgar map looks great too.

 

[Zorro]

How are you all playing the game early? Release date is suppose to be the 10th

Good reviews are out though and the launch trailer has me hyped

 

[Iceman]

It’s available on the 6th for Ultimate gamepass holders. And yesterday night was the equivalent of playing at midnight the day before.

 

[Iceman]

@P Supreme did you try it yet mate?

 

[Zorro]

Well ****. That's what I get for buying the cheaper subscription card. I already have xbox gold until January and so I figured I didn't need to upgrade to ultimate

There was also that deal where you get it for $1 a month for as long as you have Xbox live. I got 3 years of Xbox live and so I should now get Ultimate at £1 a month for 3 years. Already saved money just from Gears.

 

[Zorro]

That's a fantastic deal but I don't like using a credit card much and especially on game consoles. So I prefer just getting subscription cards from retail stores.

I got this card for 3 months and so next time I'll get upgrade to Ultimate

Sounds good. I got it for as long as possible. Otherwise I wasn’t in a huge rush for gamepass when I have such a large backlog of games to complete anyway. But this deal was too good to pass up.

 

[P Supreme]

So what are your thoughts it's gears so I like it but the launch has been a disaster for them with xp not tracking and some checkpoints in campaign not saving

Great playing with you and your mate last night.

The launch has been full of issues all over the place. I thought we'd be past stuff like this in 2019 for a release with this kind of budget and prep-time. The underlying game seems awesome though. Once they finish patching everything it should be a great game. I've really enjoyed what I've played of campaign, vs and horde so far. Escape I would only play with 2 other people I know but that can also be fun.
