[Ciaossu-]

^ hahaha...please stop.

gunplay seems ok but enemies take a little more effort to down them

driving is about the same, still slides, still stutters but slightly less

flying is worse, helicopters do weird things when crashing, controls are also worse

you automatically pick up everything so you can start your own garden centre at some point on the island from all the flowers you collect

drones are a pain, hard to hit the small wizzing ones and the ones ones on wheels have lots of health

you can't turn off the red circles that cover you when being targetted by enemy weapons

if you alert one enemy on a base your screen fills up with icons

the world is more empty than wildlands but the vegetation is better so there's that....

the civilains are useless and annoying

you can prone, crouch and walk through various terrain features in places and there are poorly textured areas as well as floating terrain features like snow and vegetation in places

invisible surfaces on the edges of cliffs give the impression you are floating

you can walk up the sides / walls of some structures

you have trouble climbing over simple ledges

slip and slide baby over everything that's not level

you can get stuck in terrain at random or fall through the map

random errors on the title screen like unexpected error

horrible grain effect when looking at some things like snow in some places


my advice to ubi is FINISH and TEST your game.

No. There are so many steps backwards with this game.

The world is great, as usual but that's the end of the good stuff.

Why it's less enjoyable:

- The enemy AI is dumb (they all take a single path, can't use ladders, don't use throwables, only one guy calls reinforcements, all converge on a down generator, stare at walls, hide when they should be engaging, charge without firing, can't see or hear more than 50m, etc.)
- The weapon smith is neutered (no barrel, stock or trigger options, limited optics choices, unrealistic trade-offs on grips, can't put suppressors on some variants, etc.)
- The options for character customization are very limited (esp. camo)
- The story is thin and the mission structure is terrible (go all over the island to accomplish anything)
- The tirred loot is invasive and practically useless
- The drones in the volume provided here are unrealistiic and less enjoyable than human enemies
- You can't drive 200m without getting in a firefight
- The world lacks a soul or culture and is full of cardboard NPCs
- The sliding down hill mechanic is over the top annoying
- There are other players in my game (in Erewhon)
- There's no AI team mates
- The whole premise is ridiculous (lone survivor taking on a drone and PMC army alone)
- My game crashes at least once per session and I often can't even login due to connection issues with the servers or other errors

For the exact same reasons. Wildlands was an experience this is a grind, you shouldn't be grinding a GR game. There would have been a lot to like if they went all out on the story and filled the world with secrets and wonder. I would never take anything away from the world builders it's really not about that but when an NPC can't scale a fence or hop down a ladder there's a problem.

"Get outta my space" Oh **** off nerd. Bowman would be livid.

I mean I'm having fun but overall the game feels worse from a design cohesion standpoint. It tries to be too many things at once and fails. It felt like the different gameplay systems in Wildlands worked better with eachother.

The best way to describe it is to talk about Splinter Cell... bare with me here.
I love SC (actually started playing through the series again, almost done with SC1). Part of me really wants another Splinter Cell with Ironside voicing Sam again. Sneaking in the shadows, espionage, avoiding a nuclear war just with a pair with NVGs, a silent pistol and a knife.
But another part of me absolutely dreads the thought if it turning into yet another Ubisoft open world game with RPG elements and a s**tton of repetitive busywork. So that part of me is glad SC isn't getting any games.

I feel GR got turned into that. Wildands wasn't bad, it was a game I genuinely enjoyed. But Breakpoint just pushes it too much into that territory already inhabited by Division, Assassin's Creed and Far Cry.

GRB is much better game due to new features (dirt, injuries, player hub, "season pass" dailies, tiered loot, basic craft and gold/minerals hunt) - besides better setting and graphics. Also great architecture and environment/nature sounds.

It's great to see the devs dumped Tier1 and its increasing difficulty + overly challenging daily challenges ("kill the boss in the forest using a car"). Those phased me out of Wildlands.

No.

I have 2000 hours in Wildlands, and still enjoy it.

I have 150 hours of Breakpoint and already find it repetetive and have more or less lost interest.

As a mostly pvp player, not even close. If you think pve took steps back then pvp took bounds backwards. Huge disappointment.

Myself and my buddies enjoy it even more for different reasons, we don't pvp so no worries there, the graphics are beyond amazing, I haven't seen anything like it, the reason there is gear score is to keep giving you rewards and keep you playing, its game logic 101. The chest respawn and we all know whats in them but we always go for them after clearing a base. I honestly believe the best experience is with 3 friends how you play solo i will never know but in todays nonsocial youths i guess solo is what its all about. The cut scenes are amazing, the daily factions do change areas keeping it interesting and we don't mind doing them. Upgrading weapons will change they will make saves just like cosmetic appearances you save. That honestly is the most annoying thing in game is getting a new weapon and gearing it out they will get presets. The quest line is engaging. choppers are easy to fly, someone complained choppers are horrible i think you need to adjust some settings like we did makes all the difference. Cant wait for the raids and new classes and each act. After you completed the story line in wildlands what did you honestly do? There were no dailies no rewards you had to wait for the challenges to come out which wasn't at launch. Didn't take long for them to get old. I just don't understand all the negativity about this game. We think it is awesome and we keep turning things off as we level to increase the challenge. IE combat clouds since launch now we are turning off map markers of enemy. As far as total reality of weapons and what not i mean come on give them a break, they are fun and most realistic after all it is a game. Enjoy it, get out of your moms basement and make some friends and play this game with them it does make a difference actually socializing (a serious downfall with todays society)

I enjoy both games but they are very different

News flash: You can still play games with your friends that don't require a constant online connection.

Irony: You tell people to 'leave mom's basement' while advocating they continue to play video games. /facepalm
