Gears Tactics: The 10 Biggest Fixes The Game Needs

Although not at the show, InXile Entertainment is quickly approaching the launch date for its upcoming tactical RPG, Wasteland 3 . In fact, a new trailer was shown off earlier this month at the Future Games Show, giving fans a bit more story as to what they're doing in the frozen wastes of future Color


Gears Tactics is the first game in the Gears of War franchise that isn’t a third-person shooter. And for a spin-off, it plays remarkably well. The game is a turn-based strategy where is the Unseen Razor Quest the player controls a group of soldiers who take on the series’ infamous aliens. The game hurls tons of enemies at the player, but it also provides plenty of powerful weapons to take them down w


Overall, it leaves the campaign feeling about two-thirds baked. Adding in more mission variety (or even trimming the side mission fat) to minimize repetition would undoubtedly solve attention-loss issues towards the ending stre


Last, but certainly not least, is Undead Labs who confirmed in a brutal new trailer that State of Decay 3 is coming to the Xbox Series X. The trailer was entirely CG, so not much is known about the project, though fans are likely hoping this latest entry performs a bit better than its predecessor did. Rumors have already started circulating that State of Decay 3 will finally be a true open world, complete with day night cycle and core survival mechan


Naturally, the upcoming survival title Grounded was also shown off through a humorous new trailer which even had a surprising shout out to Cyberpunk 2077 . Players can shrink down and survive starting on July


This doesn't always mean that there is a problem with any component of the game. It happens because the data that your card is sending to the monitor is not syncing appropriately with the displays refresh speed. As such, your card is submitting new feeds before the monitor finishes displaying the older ones. You can use V-synch to counter this. It will prevent the card from loading the display until your monitor finishes the current cycle, though this can sometimes present its own set of iss


Checkpoints are plentiful in Gears Tactics , which means that the game is forgiving when the player tries risky plays. If one succeeds, they can simply continue with the game. And if they fail and their unit is wiped out, they can still go back about 10 or 15 minutes and re-strateg


The prequel to the popular third-person shooter franchise Gears of War , Gears Tactics is a turn-based strategy game that is a diversion from the traditional norms of the genre. It looks great, and the layout gives it the feel of a core Gears of War game despite being a strategy g


A very basic solution to continuing a strategy game is to replay the story on a higher difficulty if the difficulty from the previous playthrough was too easy. It's a great challenge if anyone felt bored by their most recent playthro


The last surprise Obsidian had to share is a new trailer for its next big RPG title. If The Outer Worlds was Obsidian's take on the Fallout franchise, then Avowed looks to be its version of The Elder Scrolls . The medieval style fantasy world showcased castles, bows, skeletons, and even a dual wielding protagonist using a sword and some sort of ma


The game’s combat medics have a stim ability that lets them heal injured teammates. Even though their healing range is wide, the medic should never be far from everyone; they might be unable to reach a downed teammate in time. The medics also have other healing abilities, like the overpowered recovery patch. If the player makes good use of them, the unit will almost never suffer fatalit


Performance issues are not uncommon in high-octane games, and Gears Tactics is not an exception. Although the game is highly optimized, some players experience stuttering and the infamous GT102 error code problems. The error issues are mainly related to the player's graphics card. It appears when the card fails to l


Gears Tactics has polished, stable gameplay. Nothing in the spinoff is going to make your head explode – though you will be exploding plenty of Locust heads. And that’s part of the fun, all things considered. Combat has a respectable amount of variance, but you can pretty much bulldoze your way through the Intermediate campaign like a bull in a china shop. Loading all your units up with Fragmentation Grenades and tossing them off as often as possible is an extremely viable strategy. Flanks are important, yes, and the Scout class can cloak, sure – but you really can explode, chainsaw, and Bayonet Charge your way to victory in most ca


Class customization is satisfactory. There are five classes, each featuring four branches of subclasses. I found the amount of skill-tree variety to be just right – nothing overly complex nor dumbed-down. The selection of weapon mods and armor perks brought me the experience I just about expected. You can build each of your units to be adaptable and well-rounded or have them specialize. I personally enjoyed building up Cole Train as a beefy tank and Mikayla as a critical hit-machine, for exam
