    We gave constructive criticism back when ubi was hyping graw & vegas, then again when graw 2 & vegas 2 came out, so on and so forth and did they listen? I will leave that up to you.

    Do you have any factual evidence that these devs are better than the other nes? or that ubi will let them finish the game before launch?

    So if I don't know how to code I should just shut the hell up and pay full price for a mediocre and/or half finished game? is that your way of looking at life?

    I am not an engineer nor have a clue as to how to make a car but I can guarantee you that I am going to scream and shout if I go buy a complete car and they sell me a turd with 3 wheels instead of 4 and I am not allowed to return it.

    Perhaps if more people would tell ubi about the crap they are churning every year, they would listen because they would feel it in their bank accounts. That you believe that they listen or will pay attention to what you say is just nice but unrealistic... factual evidence since they haven't done so since 2005? What evidence to contradict that do you have?

    But again, I am wishing that ubi will make me eat a plate of turd this time around for all the hardship I am causing here but I am not going to hold my breath and I rather not come back to tell you "I told you so" when the thing flops and needs a 15 GB patch at launch.

    Someone correct my mistakes. No Red Storm is Ubi studio but I don't think they're the main studio when developing games anymore. They do things like weapon sounds and stuff for different games (This and Division I think).

    "When you were researching the weapons that would be featured in Ghost Recon Wildlands, what were you looking for in terms of weapons the Ghosts would use? The Cartel?

    Dominic: Ghost Recon Wildlands is the latest in a long line of Ghost Recon games and a big part of that heritage is authenticity. Our fans have come to expect this from the Tom Clancy franchise and this game is no different. As such, we and Ubi Authenticity (out of Red Storm Entertainment in the US) have worked long and hard with authenticity advisors to ensure not only that the weapons look and feel appropriate, but also that they are relevant to time and geographical constraints."

    I think you hit it on the head, what I ment is that i miss when they ran the show- hell they were Tom Clancy since he was one of the founders of that studio. Once UBI took lead and it wasn't Red Storm leading the games started to faulter.

    We should all accept the fact that Ubisoft bought the Tom Clancy name, and therefore they can do whatever they want within that agreement. Thats how it is. And it is useless to complain about it ☺

    We can accept it, but don't have to like it.

    I've been going back and rereading his novels, and i'm on red rabbit(trying to read them in order of the story not how the came out) and its just amazing how far the games have gotten from how he told stories. you look at the first Rainbow Six and it almost followed the Book to the T. then the 2 expansions kept the theme. Rouge Spear could have been made into another Rainbow Six book. and its slowly moved away - aagain as Tom had less and less control.

    and now - I bet if he was alive today, He wouldn't recoginze anything his name is attached to from Ubi and its a real shame that his legacy is being tarnished like that.

    I've accepted it, and I'm eagerly awaiting Tom Clancy's Just Dance!

    More seriously: As far as I'm aware, after having talked extensively with Thom Clancy (Tom Clancy's son) at E3... He's a fan of what Ubisoft have done with The Division AND Ghost Recon Wildlands so far. That's got to be credit for something.

    I don't want to put words in his mouth, as Thom is perfectly capable of expressing himself, and often does.

    All I have done is post on this forum, and then I got an email to my gamer account asking me to come to Paris to tell the Devs what I think of the game. Which I have done and continue to do.
    All well and dandy but the game is not out yet so the jury's still out on whether they will listen to you or if this is just part of a new marketing way to have trusting people like you praise their game only to be let down at the end. I may be a skeptic but as of yet, they have not done anything to make me change my mind about their shoddy way of doing business.

    .
    I just hope that Its the important thigns we get - and not the trival things.
    and I get wahts important to me aren't to everyone.

    but I can bet that the top 5 important thigns for most include:
    realism - real damage effects real weapon actions real movements ect.

    Real weapons
    pre plannign
    smart AI - both "home and away"


    Others i think IMO aren't as important but again that sjust me
