The Beauty and depth of a truly amazing environment.
Hi there My fellow Ubios'
Its me the "Protecting wolf" here, relatively new to the forums and so I have decided its time to get active within the community.
So, after playing the closed Beta on Xbox1 I decided to share my appreciation of the games positive points rather than posting the bugs etc as I am sure there are enough of you technically better minded than me that are already sharing those.
Well, what can I say - right out of the box for me the first stunningly visual asset was the sheer depth of view/fog of war draw distance !
Oh my days how nice it was to be able to see several miles across the play map to locations that amazingly when you finally reached them, were indeed what they appeared to be from the distance - rather than the normal usual format of having "Backdrop Scenery" that seems to always be way, way off in an unreachable distance or that once you get a little nearer - you instead then go through a whole loading screen and then perhaps a different map/location.
Im hoping that the sheer detail also available in the beta -is carried on to the final game release, the rich ambient tones of sunsets and clarity in clouds and skylines, rich vibrant colours and animations as the sky reflects the time of day etc - absolutely amazing, a real gem of a game cosmetically,
The same can be said in my opinion for the character customization's - to some perhaps, it is a shame that you only have a few facial options regarding this but hey we cant have it all can we -However, the options that are available regarding the outfits and overall look of your character, in my mind, is absolutely brilliant - a true joy being able to create a truly individual and ideal look. - A trait we have come to love and get used to in other great titles such as "the Division" (another favourite of mine).
The Co-Op mechanics of the game for me were also a fantastic way to experience the game , I loved that I had the Automated AI teammates in Solo play or that A friend/ Other Player could simply join my team replacing the AI characters.
I found the Team Commands Menu to be a very efficient but simple tool to use.
The overall game seems to ,In my opinion, have a beautifully crafted world, gripping and in-depth story-line. Brilliant animations and a totally immersive feeling to it all.
I have also been using the standalone App on my android device - the mini guerrilla game seems quite addictive - yet not too time consuming. I wasnt able to get the Satellite /GPS map/integration to work but I should afford a guess that this was due to it being setup for the "Actual Final Release" coding of teh game and not for teh "Closed-Beta" - i could be wrong though and maybe missed a setting etc.
All in all - the time I spent playing the "Closed - Beta" for Ghost Recon - Wildlands" was (aside from the expected gremlins and occasional bugs) a truly, visually and impressively enjoyable experience.
A game well worth adding to your collection.
