Wildlands or Boringlands ?!
What a AMAZING and THRILLING this game looked when published on E3. Unfortunately it was just a sour bait most of us ate with the hook. Personally I was defending this title from all my friends that just said their objective thoughts about it. This Wildlands meant to be great game! In my opinion great at least as division if not bigger and better! Also it was the only title I pre-ordered in a very long time, but it disappointed me since day 1, however I did not wanted to admit it in a front of anyone, neither in a front of myself and stupidly trying to convince myself that it is a great game! The truth must be said. This title is treated by UBISOFT like a garbage so it's very quickly becoming a garbage! The first thing that hit me right in my nuts was the world. It looks great at the first look when you looking on all that shine, with sun shining down on you and the environment, the grass is beautiful green, or at night when it rains and you can see all the reflections. But have a look behind that. Once you pass all that shine and look at the world as it is it look a lot like copy and paste with few things added to not make it so obvious + you have on many locations details like poker cards and chips next to it, that are absolutely irrelevant to the game as you never see anyone using it. Gameplay in this game it's not bad, but could (should) be much better and not even NARCO ROAD DLC or FALLEN GHOSTS (my personal favorite) can not save this game !
Gameplay in my opinion covers few aspects such as a vehicles, character movements, difficulty, weapons, AI and story or story missions, and plus additionally in this case (game) TIER 1 mode.

There are only few vehicles that you can choose to use and even more fewer when you change the roads for air or water. Cars feeling unfinished due their lack of difference. Most of them driving slow, and with some of them you are being able to drive nearly 90 degree uphill. Generally the cars for me and most of the players I met in my 200+ hours gameplay are absolute joke. Driving boats feels bit better thanks to the surface they move on, but still. No matter which boat I drive it always have water coming in through the bottom of a boat. These 2 textures just don't go together well and as soon as you jump into that small wooden boat you can see that it looks like its sinking and all you did is, that you just jumped into it. When it comes to the air again you have only few options. Two kinds of chopper and two kinds of planes, but when it comes to effectiveness, only 1 type of air vehicle is really effective and that's the small chopper with miniguns. In big choppers or planes it's very hard to avoid being shot down from AA (anti air defense systems). So I tried to take a big chopper with rocket launchers and tried to shoot the rockets into AA. Result ?! I ONLY damaged the AA, but didn't destroyed it and I've been shot down immediately! Bear in mind that this was a try out, where I tried to peek from somewhere and hit the AA with 2 rockets flying off the chopper. My 2 rockets hit the AA, but didn't destroyed it and I was lucky if I just barely managed to hide again with the chopper to try it again as on most occasions I've been just shot down immediately. On some occasions even the missile hit the hill in a front of me, but my chopper been destroyed anyway, but that in my opinion is a bug so about this later! Feels unfinished and unbalanced !

Character movements also feeling unfinished and unbalanced comparing to the enemies. A lot of times you will find yourself stuck in a animation or you will see enemies performing an animation, that doesn't make sense at all. For example if you sneak into the base and you want to take pictures of that major intel, but out of sudden an enemy is walking by, you have no other option than to get detected ! On the other hand side, your reload times are always the same, even that your character should get faster at it, the more he is doing it, but it's just not included and that makes me feel, that the time spent on this was minimal. Comparing to enemies and their endless magazines it's more than ridiculous. Another with the character animation is that for interrogation, taking photos or whatever else action you can perform, the animation is always the same one. It never changes. Another fact is that your character got time for everything. Let's say you being chased by enemies in car. Now you can not shoot then while you drive and if they damage your car enough to make it stop and unfortunately for you they stop next to you, your character will get out of the car like nothing is happening and take it's time to even shut the door on the car, then take out the gun AND JUST THEN you can start running or start shooting and I am not talking about your character aiming and shooting as till you do that even on arcade difficulty and all skills topped up, you dead ! The skills for aiming, where it claims that it will make you aim faster feels on all levels nearly identical so again it takes me back to what I said that it feel unfinished and unbalanced! And this is not the end of character movement problems such as not being able to vault over railings or barriers or fences even that you should be able to, or not being able to get our of the boat back of jetty, but instead of that he jumps into the water all the time. Getting into the chopper to sit on the side of it became a problem as well ! Try to use toggle aiming option, scope from vehicle and press X to get back into it. The character will go back in the vehicle, peeks out of it and scopes instantly and that is still not the end of a list of problems with those character movements.Feels unfinished and unbalanced !

Weapons in this game aren't too bad just like the gameplay, but just like the gameplay... Well beyond acceptable. From weapon stats being totally false and fake, through missing attachments such as a grenade launcher for some assault rifles to sniper rifles which scopes are fixed when it comes down to zoom. Every single gamer knows, that every game which have sniper rifles in the game and got scopes to use to them, you can actually zoom in or zoom out. There isn't any option like this in GR Wildlands. As well it makes me think how much effort been put into this ? And what are those ballistics ? Somebody did a video on youtube, where they actually put a effort into this and counted the ballistics of the bullets in GRW. It's about 1/3rd of the real life ballistics. Now I am not saying that it should be as the real life ballistics, but 1/3rd of it it's actually a huge difference. I have also an explanation in what I mean when I'm saying that the weapon stats are useless. For example whisper pistol, with the stats of noise reduction all the way up, was just as loud as 5.7 USG = detected on 47m range ! Damage for whisper pistol is not even a half of the 5.7 USG, but still. The same car takes from both pistol 17 bullets to get destroyed ! Or sniper rifle with the damage at max and still takes on some occasions 2 bullets for enemies to kill or choppers and cars have to be shot by it numerous times before they actually get destroyed and even that occasion is questionable ! So again it feels unbalanced and unfinished !

AI is just one huge joke when it comes down to your AI team mates. On most of the occasions they are useless and they behaving the most weird way every seen in gaming history. They walk in a front of enemies, letting you being shot from behind, talking all the time the same things over and over again till the point where you will be totally fed up with it. Sync shots with your AI is also quiet nice joke! They suppose to kill the enemies at the same time as you do or no later than 2 seconds from your first shot. A hell of a lot of times happened that I killed an enemy started to run to the point where they been standing and when I got there I got detected by the enemy on of my AI team mates suppose to kill and at the time he detected me he was dropped down by the bullet from my AI squad member. There is a serious delay in enemies being dropped by your AI team mates! AI as an enemy is very clever comparing to your team squad ! They cooperate until you kill the captain and even then, they trying to push you, move from cover to cover and you can find yourself quiet easily surrounded by them, while your team mates does not even know what the cover is. Feels unfinished and unbalanced !

Story it's quiet great when it comes down to my opinion I have to admit, that the story is great with all that El Sueno hunting progress and the fact that the game leaves you to decide how and when to take him down. However the story missions on the other hand are in my opinion very poorly processed and made. They so shallow as go from point A to point B, destroy, kidnap, kill or whatever, but whatever your objective is, when you reach the destination where your objective is, it's right there under your nose and most of the mission got absolutely destroyed by the game feature such as an explosive drone. You send it in, explode it and the mission is over. It absolutely in many opinions and not just mine got lack of creativity and lack of effort that should be put into this AAA game ! Feels unfinished and unbalanced !

Finally TIER 1 mode. So TIER 1 mode been added to this game to enhance it's replay ability. As the game devs said, its for players that think the game is easy and not rewarding, to give you some extra rewards for your effort to keep leveling up your TIER 1 mode. BTW it feels like never ending leveling. You just have to gather so many XP to level up your TIER 1 mode and it requires always more and more XP with each TIER 1 level. But the world stays the same, the missions stays the same and everything stays the same ! Doesn't it ? There is an option then while you have your TIER 1 mode on, you can actually upgrade your weapon damage ! But does it actually changes anything ?! And the answer is NO ! It absolutely does not change anything ! My lady killer pistol, which I upgraded so it have damage at max does still the same damage as before. My AK-47 upgraded to level 30 (level 30 is max btw) does still the same damage if not less damage than before ! Or my HTI desert sniper rifle at level 12 it have it's damage stat at max, but it does not changed a single thing when I'm using it. I said that my AK-47 does the same if not less damage then before and here is what I mean! When you got basic AK-47 1 bullet in enemies head is enough to kill them. The same is with TIER 1 mode and my AK-47 being at level 30. But when it comes down to body shots its totally different story. My AK-47 without TIER 1 mode on can kill on most occasions anyone even with a body shot, but on some occasions it's unbelievable that unidad that have bulletproof vests are being killed with same 1 body shot as top-less sicarios. So I did tested this with TIER 1 mode on. I found out that the unidad takes from 1 - 10 body shots to die and topless sicarios the same ! How can be possible that topless sicario takes more than 1 bullet to die ? Or vehicles ?! Normally you shoot a vehicle with HTI and it explodes ! But what about the occasions when the vehicle does not explode from your shot or it does not explode at all ?! This is very common issue especially in CO-OP mode, where you shoot the cars or choppers with HTI and the vehicle will get damaged, but does not explode. And its not just the sniper rifle problem, but also a grenade launcher problem! Shooting the chopper with grenade launcher and it took barely any damage, or car being necessary to shoot it with 2 or more grenades from grenade launcher to actually get finally destroyed ! Still not having enough of this bullsh*t ? So what about your HTI shots being stopped by invisible objects or being stopped by enemies bulletproof vests OR by F*/KING leafs on the trees ?! This is also very common problem ! Everyone who tried TIER 1 mode knows that to miss a bullet or getting detected means most of the time, that you going to die very soon especially when you dealing with unidad. My personal experience with unidad or enemies generally on TIER 1 mode are inhuman reactions, 6th, 7th and even 8th sense, plus eagle eyes with wallhack and precise aimbot that allows then never miss a single bullet and like if it would be not enough, all the bullets going into your head ! How the hell its possible that I kill one lonely enemy in the base, they will find his body after 2-3 minutes and they know straight away my position and spawning right behind my back while attacking from front as well. Or I am running away from them and on every road turn they know exactly which way I went, know exactly where I went offroad and similar things. As well another experience, I was hidden in a grass with all that stupid ghillie suit, taking a shot on enemy around the tree. AROUND THE TREE and not through it !!! For some reason my bullet have been stopped by that tree and the enemy was facing other way. With their inhuman reaction and their super senses, the enemy was able to make 180 degree turnaround, while it was turning around it found me with his sense where I was shooting from, with his eagle eyes marked me and aimed using his inhuman reactions and killed me on spot with 1 bullet. And that's still not everything... The list of the problem goes on and on and on and on. Feels unfinished and unbalanced !
So there you go. Unfinished and unbalanced is the result of all this UBISOFT effort, and they still asking full price for this game. Another video on youtube saying that the this particular guy, which was playing beta version had 80% or the full game content in that beta version. I can not confirm this as I didn't played the beta, but he had a lot of comments where other players been saying basically the same thing, so I am assuming its true.
This is my honest opinion why this game is dead since its day 1 ! It's sad truth about GRW which I wanted to bury inside of me, but I can't. Not anymore ! The additional content is being released very slowly, fixes and patches are poor as well as most of them are just minor fixes, which creating even more bugs and glitches for this game so it's not really any point in that, DLC's are not being planned as we've been told and since the game became available, which was the 7th of March 2017 the devs treated this game seriously like a garbage so there you go UBISOFT ! You turned another great concept into a piece of ...

Do you think maybe that you simply didn't like it? It can happen. There are titles that I dislike but they are still great successes with others who found value in them for one reason or another. You just happened not to find anything like that in this game.
GRW was a big success for Ubi and their investors so this idea that it's been dead since day 1 is just a product of your own disappointment with the game. While I have been quite vocal about some issues with GRW, I still had many months of enjoyment with it as did my friends. ......and many, many others.
Sorry you didn't have the same experience.
So on point and valuable replies
