Ok so I bought the gold edition after playing the beta, I knew what I was in for but I didn't expect it to be a 48-72 hour game. Yes PVP is coming but PVE is just... boring, repetetive, lacking in variety of enemies and vehicles, physics, take-down options, weapons and so on.

I read somewhere that they had been working on this game for a very long time - yes, the environment is beautiful with ultra graphics and without that I don't think I would've managed to get through 4 zones. Really breathtaking at times, but it also feels like that is the trademark of the game, the landscape, and that's it. Compare it to other open world games that it has been influenced from - Metal Gear Solid: Phantom Pain, GTA and a lot of similarities to Watch Dogs(since it's Ubisoft as well). Of those 3 it's pretty much Metal Gear with Watch Dogs shooting. It's GHOST RECON - please make it that way. Some originality please.

I thought I'd make a list of suggestions, things that I don't like etc. Don't hate on me, the potential of this game is sky-high imo, but at the moment it's just a nice landscape with flaws in every corner.

  • Variety of enemies and vehicles, 2 types of enemies, same vehicles all over the place. All you do is call down your chopper and get moving. This chocked me.
  • -Cartel Weapons" - shouldn't these be any good? Every weapon is bad except for maybe the Llamativo which is pretty badass for spraying down groups of enemies and getting quick vehicle kills. The badass weapon, Silencio? LOL. (You should also be able to mod those weapons to make them less useless)
  • Higher level cap, for the sake of motivation and being the highest level around.
  • Skills... many skills are just plain boring, for example... +1 grenade. Sums it up nicely, don't think I have to say much more here. Even though it is a required 'thing', so many skills are like that - passive, and very few are 'entertaining'.
  • Where are the knives? It has enough gore already to allow you to be slitting throats, I like to approach camps purely by using melee attacks. BUT IT IS RANDOM, and some attacks are so god damn slow. It shouldn't be random, it should be of your choosing how to take someone down, sometimes you get spotted because he does a stupid move.
  • Physics, very broken. Lambo getting up 80* hills whilst a motocross cannot, that's not right. - it's just based on acceleration and speed. Also, things are flying all over sometimes(running into stuff), but it's early so that I cannot really comment on, but the first-mentioned I definately can.
  • Again, physics-related. Driving straight through stone walls with a bike? Driving off a hill, falling 50 meters, continue driving. It's so boring, nothing to look out for.
  • Everything is the same, it's just a different environment and this is surprisingly doing the trick in some ways - but lets not cheat ourselves.
  • The entire game feels like 1 area where it should be 30 in terms of - again - variety. It's a demo with an unlocked world, lets face it - we saw every enemy and every vehicle in the beta. That's not ok.
  • Rebel Upgrades Seriously? Was that it? A car, a better car, an even better one and then a chopper. NO OPTIONS whatsoever.
  • This Medal Has a Coca plant on it, pretty cool DIALOGUES? Some are great, some things are just proof of some guys being very lazy.


To be continued
I will continue this at a later point, eyelids are falling down. 7.20 in the morning in Sweden). Anyway the big issue is variety, I'm already very bored and I feel like there's nothing except new patches and DLC packs to wait for.

Players waiting - Keep Waiting, not worth the price at the MOMENT - maybe the future will change that, maybe not...
