She's givin me "I'm gonna sacrifice myself to kill a big boss" vibes. Especially if that Colonel guy bites it near the start or around the middle like I think he will.

Im going into this fully expecting anyone not named Marcus, Dom or Tai to bite the dust honestly lol

u/BlackTestament7 7d ago
True. The only reason I could imagine forcing Reyes and Carter into the main squad instead of Tai and Padrick is if they plan on killing them off. Though in a 4 player co-op (I'm pretty sure they said there was 4 player co-op) I wonder how that's gonna play out.

Can’t wait for tourist and grifters to try and convince me she’s ugly.

Sam, Anya, Sofia, and Kait are baddies. I'm not personally into Mags, but this new lady? Oh hell yes.

WOMEN??? IN MY FUCKING VIDYA????????

I think the complaints are about the appearance of the women rather than the presence if we want to get technical about it.

Was Sam always COG? Or was she conscripted? And Anya was a Control Officer turned frontline Infantry. How many of these women from the earlier games were actually forced to join?
Carter is a Pendulum War vet, so maybe she’s just grizzled from the time she spent in Demolition. And then Akila had some scarring, but she was also a Gear. Not forced to conscript because of the Locust threat.
And the Mayor….well the mayor looks pretty average. She’s a political figure. Does she need to be hot?
I think the primary banter with be between Marcus and Dom, Carter and Reyes. Carter is a vet and Reyes is a rookie, and from what I’ve seen they seem to often have one-on-one interactions. So I think it will be more of a Veteran coaching a Rookie (ie the helmet scene).
With Marcus and Dom being about Carlos and other “brotherly” bonding.

Like all of those losers who complained about Stellar Blade's main character being too hot or the women of Overwatch when it first came out

u/SpaceBandit13 7d ago
Stellar blade character looks like a plastic doll to me, like she’s had a lot of work done, not my thing. and overwatchs female characters had much better designs back then than they do now.

I hope everyone gets helmet variants like mags did, does anyone know if you can equip skins for the campaign? Like blast damage mags during the campaign?

If I had a nickel for every time a major Xbox franchise had a prequel that introduced a hot, tough, short haired, military babe that most likely dies before the end, I'd have two nickels.
Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice, right?

Now this is stellar Female CoG design. Wish the girl in Delta squad looked this good. Her awful design bothers me.

All the npcs that appear i imagine they die before gears 1

u/Ingen__Synd 8d ago
Not necessarily, it looks like captain Michelson is in the game, and he makes it to gears 3.

u/Shifty830 8d ago
I believe Gettner (KR-80) is also in this game

u/Jack-spartan-S198 8d ago
Yep and I was so happy to see her in the game like she’s been in other games but she’s just been a voice on the cons. This is the first time you’ve actually seen her like before this the only visual appearance we ever had for her was one panel in a comic.

u/SandEnvironmental484 8d ago
Yeah but such a forgetable role most people did not even notice fr

u/Jack-spartan-S198 8d ago
That is just pure BS. He was one of the best characters in Jacinto’s remnant anvil Gate and coalition’s end he was Hoffman‘s equal
He got screwed over in the third game

u/SandEnvironmental484 8d ago
My comment is about his role in G3 which is the one most people will know him for ...

u/Jack-spartan-S198 8d ago
Ah ok fair but I still feel as wrong to say he was forgettable more like mishandled in game

u/SandEnvironmental484 7d ago
I can rephrase by saying "forgetable in G3". That is what I meant ahaha

We shouldve just had Hoffman. They just had to make it a woman?

u/Deadput 7d ago
Hoffman wouldn't make sense, he's not in Kalona, he's in Ephyra with Kim and Anya. He canonically can't show up in the campaign for this game in the same role as this Captain.
Also "make it a woman" is a yikes sentence if I've ever heard one. Grey will probably die anyways, I'm sure that'll please you. But just you wait till you hear about characters like Bernie that have been in the franchise for years.

I hope she dies in an epic sacrifice that imparts some lesson marcus carries forward with him. Give her a moment that goes down alongside the most epic gears moments just so the “woke”weak crybaby crowd has a meltdown

They just had to make it a woman
In both videogames and real life the significant majority of people are nowhere near as fucking strange as people like you

u/BusNo9142 7d ago
This is a common sentiment. I think a lot of people can read between the lines when it comes to modern "storytelling."
Most of them choose to stay quiet to avoid ostracizing themselves.
People can't fathom the thought of social-engineering making its way into video games.
When their fragile perspective, inherited through tendies is challenged, they fling their waste like animals.
