Many gamers are excited after the release ofGears 5. The graphics and the overall gaming experience are top-notch.
So, Microsoft stepped up itsgamewith this new release. However, not all gamers are thrilled. There’s still de crossplay controversy:PCor Xbox?
Following the release of Gears 5, this subject is hotter than ever, as one gamerreportedon the official forum.
Meanwhile, I’m reading posts by Xbox players about how “unfair” it is to oppose aPCplayer in Gears. They use the old “mouse+keyboard” issue to defend their inferiority complex.
Several Xbox users complained thatPCgamers have some advantages in thisgameand it is unfair to play against them. They said that the keyboard and mouse are better than the Xbox controller for playing Gears of War.
Keyboard and mouse or a controller for Gears 5?
Also, they plead for a boycott of crossplay. Still, Xbox users can use a mouse and a keyboard, so this should not be an issue. But not all Xbox users want to change their controller.
Moreover, the controller is a better option than a mouse and a keyboard when playing a first-person shooter. So, it is not a surprise that somePCgamers are using a controller to play Gears of War.
However, other Xbox players said that the mouse helpsPCusers to aim with better accuracy.

They complained thatPCgamers can shoot them even in the spawn area. This is frustrating because you can’t enjoy thegameif you die right after you respawned.
This controversy remains in Gears 5, but this is the price for crossplay. Which is little, because the vast majority ofplayershave beckoned crossplay with a passion, as some users described.
