Gears 5 I cannot aim

ShanYinn · Sep 6, 2021

Hello. In Gears 5 I cannot aim with the left trigger. I have tried changing the button mapping to alternative, and was successful to aim with the "X" controller button, but I do not want to play that way, and with this I am providing info that there is a real problem. I have owned 3 different consoles with Gears 5 installed via game pass, and it will not work.

Have you tried a different controller and the same thing happens with all of them?

I havn't tried a different controller but I have tried the game on a Xbox One S all digital, an xbox Series S and an Xbox One X, with different controllers for each. Never tried connecting 2 controllers and giving the secondary one a go.

"Play 4 days early on console and PC" <-- with xbox ultimate; that was what I was aiming for this weekend to no avail.

Instead of playing Gears 5, I had to battle the MS store and lost

Yes I keep getting that with Gears 5 over the past 24 hours. Cannot download it

So far, I'd have to say Gears 4 was better for multiplayer. Gears 5 is okay, but seems lacking in maps and the "Gears Of War" gameplay feel. Not too bad, just seems a tad off from what I'm used to.

I hope Gears 5 really pulls it together in the campaign, because I felt like Gears 4 got the tone all wrong. That being said, I have yet to start Gears 5's campaign.

Lastly, I know crossplay was introduced later in Gears 4, but it's available immediately in Gears 5. Mouse and keyboard players have a massive advantage (especially in Arcade). They can easily and quickly turn and/or aim at the head. I play Arcade for fun,
but it gets really difficult when a few computer players hop in to destroy. I guess I should consider myself lucky that I can turn off crossplay in Ranked at least.
