Several hours per day
A few hours per day most days
A few hours per week or sporadically
Only when an update comes out (e.g. TU or AI Team)
I’m no longer playing even when updates come out but still hang out here

I prefer to play in games on my PC with gamepad. And I feel that Breakpoint (like Wildlands) has worse aiming from gamepad than The Division. But I even can't describe exactly what's wrongPersonally, a few hours on weekends on PS4 while I wait for a new PC. But being very, very slow about it. I'm terrible at aiming with a controller (my brain's just not wired that way, I guess) and can't wait to play with a mouse again =(

So yesterday I thought I would raid with another character, joined public matchmaking, found a cool group and gave it a try.
As we were on a boat on our way to the super computer, a heli appeared, we shot it, it fell right on us and killed everyone in the boat.
After the death screen, that's what happened:
I was then revided by one member of the team after he moved my body when I said I was stuck:
One last try at reviving me:
So I logged off and played another game. That would (partially) explain why I don't play Breakpoint that often...

For the past few weeks, I started the story over with a mildly tweaked immersive mode. Tried playing it as a ghost that has never been a pilot. That kind of got ruined by the Paula Madera rescue mission as well as another mission that forced piloting a helicopter. Deciding not to fly any aircraft has put in some hours.
I'd rather play Wildlands, but at the same time, I prefer the 1 primary experience without the permadeath lately. Plus I've beaten that game over 10 times now.

Look into the Tuact Venom X4... you can use a mouse for aiming and a thumbstick for movement on the PS4.Originally Posted by UbiBlush Go to original post

Wildlands maybe had a couple of the same / similar bugs but nothing on this scale. The current gameplay is essentially how it was upon release. I'm honestly not sure where the notion comes from that GRW was as broken as GRB upon release or as unsuccessful, etc. Some of the bugs persisted throughout the life of the game and really only became game breaking when Ubi introduced long requested features locked behind a permadeath mode. .....because once you died in that mode, you had to start over so when your AI team wouldn't revive you, you fell through the map, etc., it sucked. These things didn;t happen frequently IME, but in Ghost Mode, that didn't matter because the result was permanent.Originally Posted by Johny_Bee Go to original post
The save bug In Breakpoint is a huge issue right now for a lot of folks as it essentially deletes your progress. If you're not experiencing any of the problem others are with this game, that's great but lots of people are having this issue and many more. There are several threads on the topic.
They don't seem to be, they are. ......but for good reason.Originally Posted by Johny_Bee Go to original post
Breakpoint was a failure for Ubisoft. You don't cancel upcoming DLC (e.g. raids), release updates that remove built in, core mechanics (e.g. Ghost Experience) due to community backlash, postpone the delivery of your flagship titles and call for a restructuring of your company because of a successful release. .....all of which Breakpoint played a role in.
As for "strange statements", you'd have to be more specific. .....just keep in mind that without a lot of that generally negative feedback, you likely wouldn't have had the Immersive Mode you're enjoying now and certainly not the Team AI that is to come.
If you're enjoying the game, I'm happy for you. .....truly, I am. I'd just ask that you not try to belittle those of us who aren't.

Oh nono, I did not want it to be understood in any way as offensive. Feedback that improved the game is rather clear, and I am thankful for it. About the specifics, I do not want to go into that, because just posting this caused a somewhat defensive reaction, which I am sorry for. Again, did not mean to belittle anyone. I do not want to mention specifics because I do not want to get into any kind of argument.Originally Posted by Kean_1 Go to original post

That's cool.... My intention wasn't to provoke anything here but simply trying to show where a lot of the negative vibe is coming from and that there is a ton of constructive feedback in there as well that can affect change. ......which is really what most of us want who would like to see the franchise get back on track. Just wanted to make sure that wasn't lost among what might be a select few toxic examples.Originally Posted by Johny_Bee Go to original post

I'm opposite (in third person shooter pc games), I cannot for the life of me mouse and keyboard them, so I play Breakpoint with controller. XDOriginally Posted by UbiBlush Go to original post

It's funny..... When I first switched over to console from PC back when the PS3 came out, it took me a little while to get use to the controller in shooters. Now, I hardly ever use auto aim features in games on console.
I still find KB + M a more accurate combo though but I think I would struggle a bit to get used to it again.
Haven't touched the campaign in a long time!
