No offence bro but what Kinda gains are you expecting?

Give it more time, it can take a few more weeks to reach saturation. The dose is good, no need to load. Regardless, increase in water weight is not the primary goal of creatine, and isn't the main MoA, so don't worry about that. With that said, some people just don't get much from creatine, but most do. Keep in mind, it's not magic or gear, so keep your expectations realistic. You could always opt for a daily-staple supplement that has your daily dose of creatine and other ingredients like betaine, that way you still get benefits even if you don't get much from creative personally. PowerMax XT, Ergonine, Triumph, and Finish Line are all solid options.

It takes about a month for me to notice changes, make sure youre diet, training and rest are all in check. Also is your training regimen organized to where you keep track of the weight you push? I dont just go in to my workout and start lifting by feel, im either progressing in weight or maintaining but whenever i hop on creatine im able to notice differences

Same. Creatine isn't going to magically make you bigger and stronger. It definitely aids in the process over the long run but no miracle supp.

As others have said, you need to be patient and give it more time. You might have to lower your expectations a bit as well.

Sounds to me that your expectations are far greater than they should be. You most likely won't notice any extensive difference with creatine. That being said, it is the most researched supplement on the market and works as long as you maintain saturation. Just keep taking it and assume it is working. It's like 45 dollars for a years supply, so it's too cheap not to take.
