I watched the alpha gameplays of OperatorDrewski and Russian Badger on Youtube, it was good, more tactical, steath required. New features and mechanics is cool, but I see there's some wrong, like:
+ The face expression, our character and the enemies, still like a stone, emotionless
+ (THIS IS THE MOST CRUCIAL MISTAKE) Gun reload mechanic and animation when there's still a bullet in the chamber: normally when you're reload with a bullet still in a chamber, you just need to eject the magazine and insert a new magazine, without having to pull the bolt to get a new bullet go in the chamber (because there's already a bullet in that place). So the bullet in your gun now is 1 + 5 = 6 (if you're using round 5 mags). But in the old GRW, and now GRB, everytime you reload, you always pull the bolt regardless the old mag is empty or not, you ejected the old bullet that is still in the chamber. and this is a VERY CRUICIAL mistake, at least for me, a fan of tactical realistic shooter. In The Division 2 that released earlier, you guys fixed this, now the reload animation of Division 2 is completely right, although it's a MMO shooter, not much a tactical reaslistic one, so why can't you do the same thing to the COMPLETELY TACTICAL and REALISTIC game such as Ghost Recon?
As a fan of the Ghost Recon series and Ubisoft;s games, I hope you can fix those mistake before release the game, so I can truly enjoy it.
On an M4 you only need to pull the charging handle back once, when you first load your weapon. If you go winchester your bolt locks back. Mag release button to drop out spent magazine, insert new mag, bolt release button to release bot and chamber round. No need to pull the charging handle again at all.Originally Posted by Kuro_Kisame Go to original post
Agreed.... it's a looter shooter. I have 4 of those games I waisted money on. I AM NOT EVER BUYING ANOTHER LOOTER SHOOTER, EVER AGAIN!!!!!!!Originally Posted by Lynxpics Go to original post
Couldn't agree more... For me a duplicate of the first game with better story and some fresh quality of life upgrades and I would be sold.Originally Posted by maddogs1989 Go to original post
The story and formulaic missions was in my opinion the weakest thing in wildlands. I still loved the game though. Have played it through like 3 times.
Look at the flop of Anthem and decline of Destiny. Your fanbase are not looking for another loot shooter.
I can absolutely understand your feelings about the game but Anthem and Destiny didn't fail because they were looter shooters. One of the largest reasons that Anthem failed was due to lack of content and buggy gameplay. Destiny's decline, I believe, began with manipulation of xp and currency systems.Originally Posted by Jamz_Bond_007 Go to original post
Fair.Originally Posted by Quantify.eXe Go to original post
But I specifically avoided saying that the genre of looter shooters is dead. Simply that I don't think the fanbase of this game is wanting the characteristics of the genre for this franchise. For me that is what defines the difference between this game and the Division.
Emptying 30 clips and 10 grenade rounds into a level 259 drone so I can upgrade my gun to the next level is going to get old very quickly.
Please name a single looter shooter that's been super successful. Mind you Destiny was not the first Defiance came before it and was a better game but like all looter shooters face at high levels grinding fir that one stupid item. The majority of people given the history of all looter shooters get tired of grinding fir that one item they want. I mean even DA:Inquistion kinda did it with its chests and the community flipped with that.Originally Posted by Quantify.eXe Go to original post
The point is not that they failed because they were looter shooters, it is that they fail because of more varying reasons. Generalization only serves to dilute the real problems in a situation and then it turns into a matter of opinion rather than facts and figures.Originally Posted by maddogs1989 Go to original post
Borderlands was super successful. Loved it.Originally Posted by maddogs1989 Go to original post
