With the Battle Rewards System temporarily out of commission, the core replay value of this game is now dead in the water und is sinking like the Titanic, what Ubisoft needs is more Free World Content und less PvP Content, cause as it stands right now Ubisoft has locked nearly everything new behind the Raid Wall, which again is sinking this Games replay value.

One thing I hate about modern gaming is the streaming culture. Dude above says "no viewers on stream" my grumpy old man self just thinking, so? The problem is self perpetual, publishers looking for the next big streamer, therefore forgetting about making games great. From where I'm sitting, huge streaming success is a fluke not by design.

99% of streamers are attention seekers and are pure cringe, who wants to watch someone wearing an anime t-shirt surrounded by star wars toys playing some video game? occording to the internet, to be a "real" gamer, you need an expensive gaming chair, big headphones, a massive mic and a loud annoying voice...

it's sad that we live in an age now that watching others play games is the norm....

Yeah...it's a lot like trash TV. At least when you are playing, you are participating/interacting with something. If video games are masturbatory, watching others play is like spending your time watching others spank the monkey.

I'm checking the forums once a week, but there is nothing to discuss about this dead game. I already moved on and just a slight glint of hope makes me check the forums now and then. Cheers!

For me personally, a game is only as good as its story but Ubisoft was very good at letting you wander between missions and picking them back up when you felt like it. I really enjoyed finding secrets in Origins and mostly with Odyssey. Sadly it kind of ended with Farcry5 where going your own way actually removed certain story elements and missions.

They are definitely sacrificing story for something a little less complicated in development which is why we now have serious grinding in everything because one title originally did it well (eventually) and that was Division 1. Just because something works well in one game does not make it viable for another and Ubisoft jumped straight in with every franchise going loot. The single dumbest move they ever made since the company founded.

I originally loved Ubi titles because they were diverse in gameplay but at their core, the open-world aspect always drew me in but now these open worlds although still beautiful are sterile and soulless because of repeated code between titles and in Breakpoint the story content is painfully dull and badly written.

I used to really look forward to DLC but now this drip-fed and incredibly dull season content makes the new titles instantly forgettable. I didn't finish Odyssey's, Division2 or Breakpoint's ongoing content. Origins, 'the curse of the pharaohs' was the last good DLC Ubisoft created.

Now it all just feels like it came from a sweatshop in China. F**K em.

assassins creed has been milked to death, had a little play of the first few but wasn't my cupa tea, never been a fan of games set in old times. far cry turned crap from 2 onwards. at least the tc games are somewhat different in each new game, you usually get a new unique game. far cry is some some grade A generic shooter crap now and the villains are worse than a cheesey bond villain.

sadly breakpoint is a little too different right now...here's hoping it get's put right again to save the franchise.

Yup, games have really gone down the path of mediocrity since Pong was released. The pinnacle of gaming. Yes we had it rough, back then games were hard and if you tell that to the young people today, they won't believe you...

And on Top of that People had a way better Sense for Sarcasm. Nowadays there's just unfunny Pseudo-Sarcasm. Tell that to the Kids. They won't believe, too.

Yeah, after recent changes to raid system - there is no point in completing it. And it is harder to complete because there is not enough competent players who can be included as randoms in a team if someone disconnects. Yesterday I played raid with some randoms and it wasn't good: times for looking for player to join was quite long and we coudn't kill last boss because players didn't know what or how to do.

Right now I'm totally disappinted in Breakpoint: PvE isn't getting anything, PvP is basically dead because of cheaters, run&gun meta and lack of updates and raid is the worst thing they could have added to Breakpoint. And even raid is made worse with each new update. Worse and worse and worse...

I'm actually looking for a new game to move on. Maybe will go to RDR2 - peopel say that they fixed bugs. Or something else... Right now Breakpoint is basically dead: not that much players left and even there is almost no viewers on streams - everyone is disappointed.

I've gone back to Division 2, and I'm playing Days Gone for my Stealth fix.

Ah, so now we're at the "no true scotsman" level.

Wonderful constructive participation.
