You can remove parts of the game you don't want now which is why the install is so weird.
Installed on Series X and got an error.
0x80070490
83.6gb
v1.2.865.0
Uh weird, after a minute it works.
Then i launch and nothing works.
Says mandatory 42gb patch with checkmark.
Then another 8gb campaign dlc update.
This is kinda messy?

Thanks, yeah its the steam version. Off to the HDD some games are going then.
I've got gpu and it's trying to charge me.
And my controller just lost sync. Lol, what is happening.

I know you are banned but I don't get it. Just looked at your history and you never seem to post in the gaming section. I hope this one was worth it.
Paranormal activity :)
I had a 12 GB Gears 5 Update and had Hivebusters available. Started without issues. GPU btw.
Hmm, hope you're fine and fixed the issues.
I started Gears 5 just now and got a prompt for a 12 gig update? Is that for this for this or something else? I'm assuming it's the Hivebusters dlc.
Finally recognized it, downloading now.
The experience could be smoother. But excited to check it this chunk of story.

Loving this feature. Even can remove Customisation if you want to save 10GB.
haha fixed, year 3hours in all seems like a good long action movie run for us one night with some beers in.
Was smooth on my end, there was a splash screen before entering the front menu with details on the installed parts plus the new DLC being added.
Maybe best to just launch the game and not get it from the store maybe that messes with the install.

What an absolute mess. Why things you can install from OS level are different than what you can install in game? Why do I have to have to game running to install DLC (or parts of the game)? Who at MS decided this was acceptable? I have so many questions. This entire implementation looks like an afterthought.
What a mess. I downloaded the 12 GB and thought I could just jump in.
I was only one click away from actually paying for it when I booted up the game despite having GPU. Why did they fuck this up that bad. It's not like they're new to this.

It is completely standalone in that sense, yes. You play as different characters and they have their own skill tree sort of thing with upgrades which is only a part of the Hivebusters campaign.
I found this edit of Penny Arcade's most recent comic which describes this perfectly:
So does this take place after Gears 5 ends? Trying to understand when and where in the timeline this is.
It's placement in the timeline isn't clear but I'm pretty sure it has no correlation with the events of 5. It definitely takes place after 4. I'm only in Act 2 and so far it seems to be the origin of the Venom Bomb which is used in Escape.
He's kinda right. Finding a full lobby is somewhat hard these days.
Finished the DLC. Obviously quite short but still pretty damn good especially the second half if I'm honest. Soundtrack feels wayy different than a normal Gears experience but in a good way ofcourse. (credits still show Ramin Djawadi and Steve Jablonsky as the composers). Great that you can tell your AI teammates when to use their ultimates but it does feel like a coop experience first and foremost (in that regard). Really happy with this DLC and hopefully there's another one on the way :) Maybe something Rise of Raam related?
Oh boy did I not expect that thing to show up. Great monster design especially since it's like the first in-game non-Locust/Swarm monster to appear in the Gears series. Felt a lot like the Gears 3 ending boss.

You can get matches in TDM, KOTH, and surprisingly Arcade. Everything else YMMV.
3-4 hours on intermediate. Didn't die and maybee rushed it a little bit. Got like half of the upgrades and around half of all the collectibles.
Campaign (Gears 5 Acts 2 - 4)
DLC (Hivebusters)
Versus (Horde, Escape, Versus)
Customization (The trillions of skins and characters)
Maybe you should play ranked, that's where the majority of the playerbase is.
