The Swarm appears to be making more. This new Cog generation needs to try harder.
It's not the swarm that are the problem at the moment. It's the servers...
The swarm could have made a better job than the Coalition. They sure appear to be better organized. Heck I already had enough problems with this game for the whole year.
First I couldn't download, I'm on PC and turns out the Xbox Game Pass app was causing that, so I had to uninstall that, then managed to download from the store. I went to play and noticed the game didn't had the option to change language anymore, despite that being present on the Tech Test, so since I hate Gears dubbed on portuguese, it took a while to find out how to make it on english by editing some stuff on the game's file.
The game then got stuck on the campaign loading screen, after restarting my PC it finally worked. I played until the end of the first act just fine, then it started to crash on the last cutscene, over and over. That was fixed by updating my drivers. But turns out the game is with issues to count collectibles so I lost some stuff due to the crashes. I just finished act 2 and the campaign have been going well without issues, and I am quite enjoying the direction they have taken so far on the characters and the gameplay, and I'm ok with the reveal of the origins of the Locust, better than the fan theory that had been accepted over the years as canon.
I haven't played much from the multiplayer yet, but I have been on the Gears forums so I seen a couple dozen angry threads over the last days.
Now apart from disconnection mid matches, the stats aren't being updated so we can't get xp/medals/whatever. I feel for those that have been playing horde. Funny that I didn't experience any of this during the Tech Test, which was suppose to prevent stuff like this from making its way into the final game. Oh well.
