I was reading the forum and people seem down on the game already, without even playing it. I am super psyched and really still looking forward to this game, and hope I get an invite to the beta so I can get some hands-on time with Wildlands. I hope it is as good as some of the early videos and even more recent footage makes it look. Are you looking forward to Wildlands or are you already turned off, and why?

I'm super exited, cant wait. I hope i get to play the beta too. I think players expected too much of the old Ghost Recon i guess. I think GRW leans a lot on its narrative. This is a different kind of warfare. Like i posted before, these operators even in real life operate on a different level of combat. Most of the time people wont even know they are there. This game asks for that same tactical approach.Originally Posted by darksavior1977 Go to original post
Of course players got the freedom to go about it the way they please but i believe that part of the imagination has already been prepared for us in the form of this huge playground, the other part has to come from the players themselves. If players need a challenge, play it on the hardest level, take you're time, recon make sure you know where the enemies are, draw up a plan and then draw up a backup plan and then execute. If you're playing with friends,communicate, back each other up instead of going lone ranger. There is so much to discover in terms of intel, side missions etc. Some players need to slow down their pace and wait to see what this game actually has got to offer!

I'm "old" Ghost Recon but I'm finding more to like about Wildlands everytime I'm lucky enough to play it. Of course there are some things I miss from the original, but lets be real, there is so much more in Wildlands, not least freedom of choice.Originally Posted by grantsheppard Go to original post
You are right about the narrative, something I was dumbfounded to read in one preview that was lost on the reviewer. Wildlands is the first game in a lot of years of gaming, outside of adventure games, where I am totally sold on the plot, to the point that the story is actually one of my incentives to play. Who would have thought a shooter had an engaging enough story to be a buy consideration - not me anyway. It's already a solid shooter, but the story also has me hooked and determined to play right through the campaign to its conclusion.

I'm extremely skeptical. I'm confident the game will not live up to the standard of the original games, and will spend too much effort trying to appeal to as broad an audience as possible, rather than dedicating to a true-to-spirit experience. It might be fun, but it won't win any medals from me. It'll go right up there on the shelf with Blacklist and Siege.

I really dig the narrative, I am psyched about the Santa Blanca cartel, and the effort that seems to have been made to make the enemies interesting, with quirks and a cause. It will make taking them down that much sweeter.
@Pollie, I think we are looking for different things from this game. I am excited about what has been shown, and what has been promoted and showcased by the developers, and you seem displeased by what hasn't been shown. This is a perspective I find hard to understand, as you seem upset that the game isn't something you wish it was, but should have been, even though at no point on the promotion, videos, or interviews indicates. Like it lead you on, but it hasn't, at least not that I have seen. But keep posting your feedback, maybe they can add the options you are looking for as a difficulty, or lobby options. As long as they don't overhaul and remove what they have advertised, because I know I am interested in what HAS been shown.

I am always skeptical of games I am really excited about. This probably being the most out of all them in a very very long time. My biggest concern will be replay value and hope it's like the odd ghost where you can consistently replay missions over time. IE if you beat the game you can run the whole thing again and do different tactics. I wouldn't see why this wouldn't be possible but worried none the less.

Actually, to the contrary - Ubisoft themselves have stated that they intended this game to be a "realistic tactical shooter", that the game would involve a "living, breathing world", and "player actions would have consequences". So far, I've seen dirt bikes being jumped over trucks, Michael Bay explosions, an obscenely overpowered inventory system, a lot of faked and heavily scripted videos, and absolutely no evidence to back up the idea their game has even half the depth they claim to be designing. Despite talking about motion-capture and talking with military personnel, the animations are choppy and mediocre, and none of the enemy seem to understand even basic marksmanship. Christ sake, in their own trailer they have men firing weapons and they aren't even trying to use their sights.
I hope you enjoy the game, really I do. I'd rather it not be a disappointment for everyone. But I doubt I'll be part of the "in" crowd, unless something changes.

I'm not expecting to buy it based on what has been told.I don't want an "online" game that has no replayability.I'm currently juggling FFXIV,& Siege.Going to get For Honor.
I'm just hoping the game has more than just main missions/side missions/collectibles & that's it.There really would be no point in playing the game consecutively because of lack of content.Id rather play other single-player game in that case.
