Why don't you guys go for the ultimate game pass?

With the current offer, you get 5 months for around 500rs. You get to play the ultimate edition of Gears 5 (4 days early) along with many other games (including Blair Witch and Outer Worlds on release day).

Makes no sense to go for the steam version now, if you ask me.

 

No doubt it's a good service, tempting even but there are other reasons.

It's a subscription service so you'll need to be subbed. 

The price is introductory right now. 

Microsoft store

No various features and don't think it'll ever be. 

 

and with sharing the games at recent prices will comes close to 500rs. 

Each has it's own pros and cons.

No shitty boxes like GoW4 but will have direct purchases now. 

 

No season pass. No "Gear Packs. All store purchases are direct, so you always know what you'll get.

 

A new "Tour of Duty" system allows you to earn customization content including character skins. Luckily, how you can earn each piece is clear so you can focus on completing those challenges. Not everyone wants the same cosmetic items, so you can choose what to pursue. There's no pay-only content in Tour of Duty. Think of this system as seasons in other games.

 

Aside from the optional boosts which help you level up faster, it seems like everything else is cosmetic. Customization content can be bought with a premium in-game currency called "Iron." Iron is purchased with real-world currency on the Microsoft Store. Luckily, you can earn Iron through Tour of Duty.

 

Seems fine so far, no signs of pay2win apart from those booster packs. No idea about Tour of duty, guess we will find out soon. 

No season pass means if there's an story expansion planned it will be free, yea...

Watch out your PC might explode on your face after you launch Gears 5 as it will get curse by Mark Cerny for playing MS game 

 

If your Xbox one X doesn't blow after playing gears 5, his PC certainly won't.

Umm....does it matter if the price is introductory? You're getting it for 5 months, which is more than enough time to play Gears 5 at less than half the price of what you'll get on steam (~1.2K less if you count the ultimate edition).

And Microsoft store, which isn't as bad as it used to be, already has achievements and cloud saves. For discussion boards, you can still go to the steam page. 

I don't see any cons here. It's pretty much a no-brainer.

 

Anyway, it's your choice in the end though.

These more open areas are similar to Metro Exodus - not a truly open world - but designed to promote exploration and reward players who enjoy exploring. To perfect the format, Gears 5 is the first in the series with a map feature, providing access to “?” Locations that may contain features, story elements, or collectibles.

You can simply ignore all quests and secondary content if you wish. The Coalition has been informed that if you do not do the secondary content and follow the campaign straight it will take about 12 hours, while those who are interested in exploring it will be 20 hours.

Can someone please post the link for the game pass? 3+2 months offer....

 

Also, when will this offer end? I want to hold till the last minute to get maximum days :P 

 

$5 for 3 months

$2 for Ultimate upgrade - 2 months

 

Basically 6 months for $7. Order should be -> $5 for 3 months -> keep recurring turned on for 1 extra month -> Ultimate upgrade. 

 

Cancel/turn off recurring after a day or later. 

 

Last time I checked it had 25 days remaining for the promo to end (for Ultimate) and a week-ish for standard.
