If you haven't bought Control yet, there's a 6000 point punch card for doing so which would more or less make it $5 off if you redeem that for a gift card.

Gears of War 4 act 4 chapter 5 boss. Is all you have to do is blown up the nuts on his chin? We've been struggling with it for ours after dying on it multiple times last time we played this. Then, we blow up the nut blisters on his chin and he just dies?
What about the switches I was pulling eaflier to electrocute him? I'm confused

You need to pull the switch to open a generator, then shoot the generator until it explodes and that'll reveal some blisters all over the Swarmak's body, and it'll also autosave. You then need to pop all the blisters; once they're gone, find another generator and repeat the process three more times.

Unless it autosaved like it sounds like it might of, I don't feel like we went through the process? Maybe we did and got lucky? I legit Heard "shoot the blisters" during our 4th attempt while looking for switches.

You don't need to pop the blisters to move onto the next stage, but since it autosaves when you blow a generator, it's a nice way to save progress during the fight. When I did the fight a second time on insane, I just blew every generator in a row, which was trouble as it meant I had to blow every blister on a single life, basically.
We ready for gears 5. Edit. Have a month of game pass free. When does it become available to play?
Okay, so in old Gears you had the Locust, who were mysterious subterranean monsters (who might be mutated humans? It's never clarified for sure.). In Gears 2, you are given a mission to kill the Queen (who was present as a VO in the first game, but never identified as the Queen). When you finally reach her, it's revealed that she looks completely human (she has a weird tentacle thingy on her back but it's gone in the next game so it likely wasn't a part of her.) At the end of Gears 3 they fire off a super weapon that kills all the Locust (and other group of freaky tentacle mutants called the Lambent, but that's not important.) but the Queen survives, implying even more that she's completely human.
The pendant Reyna gives Kait, who she says belonged to her grandmother, has the Locust symbol on the back, implying that Reyna and Kait are the Locust Queen's direct descendants.
Gears 5 will be available to play at 9pm EST in the US.

Yeah I will say that playing at least Gears 2 was probably the only way someone would get any emotional impact from the cliff hanger ending, otherwise it kind of ends on a moody, wet fart
Considering South Korea may have the best, or some of the best, internet coverage in the world, that probably makes sense. It's also thought that it might give Microsoft some desirable insight into the South Korean marketplace too.

So now I finally have access to optic fiber broadband, installing the UWP version of Gears 5 was surprisingly hassle-free. In days of yore it was incredibly inhospitable towards low-bandwidth downloaders in that W10 store would reset progress after a few days.
That instability doesn't seem to be a problem for me anymore, though I do wonder if it might still cause problems for those with insufficient network speeds
I really need to watch a recap video of the Gears series before I play 5. I've played 1, 2, and 4, and all I can really tell you is that the Locust are bad and the Cole Train is a smooth ride. And that Marcus is such a badass that he makes his own son look like a pansy, despite the fact that said son is also a roided-out-looking monster of a man and a murder-machine.

I haven't actually checked it out but the Extras menu for Gears 5 has a "state of the universe" video that seems designed to catch players up to speed

Plus, if you want something more intimate, Kait does the whole Last time on Gears thing specifically for the fourth game.
Man, the matchmaking servers for Gears seem to be pretty fucked!
At least I got one game of Escape in, it's hard. Also Sarah Connor seems really really good in Escape and Horde.

This is pretty weak, I can't even get my save file for Metal Wolf Chaos to play, I don't care about your stupid Gears Linkin Park game.
I thought the default was to save to the hard drive, am I doing something wrong or does it all go to the cloud with your account? Scrap it all, go back to cartridges.
EDIT: Also I'd be surprised if this was actually Gears related, given much bigger releases have come out just fine. We haven't even gotten to the full launch yet.
It's possible. There was some hubbub in some circles over a game that has always had a white male protagonist changing gears (Pun wasn't originally intended, but I'm totally sticking with it.) to focus on a latinx woman. That said, I hadn't heard that much hubbub, because outside of Gears fans I feel like nobody gives a shit about Gears.
I read kotakuinaction on a regular basis, and they don’t seem to be up in arms over Gears. If there’s a DDoS, it’s probably from some other perceived slight.

Still remember that hilarious time where they literally had a fire burn out one of Microsoft's server rooms

There's also like... 16 different unlockable Pride banners so who knows, maybe the anti-gays are crusading against the essjaydubbuhyuhs again
I've seen enough networking failures at launch points not to assume that it's some organized conspiracy when simple inaction or human error can explain it. Diablo III didn't need a Gamergate-attributed DDOS attack to fuck up at launch, Blizzard was entirely capable of doing that on their own.
I was able to log in, and played several chapters, though I did get dropped after dying once (since I was still hosting an campaign lobby).

You don't want to use a character that hypes an upcoming movie?
9pm est for the us.
Forget that. I want Night Club Sarah Conner from the first movie.
Let's Play Final Fantasy 'II' (Ch10 - 5/17/10)

Yeah, it couldn't possibly be a massively major release that people don't really ever buy but can access because $1 Gamepass dropping.
