News - no year 2 pass announced. | Forums

[peronis]

So, No Man's Sky, a game by a tiny studio, famously maligned at launch, turned into a meme; by all accounts fated to oblivion. After a Christlike comeback, providing every piece of postlaunch content and update free of charge Is, of course, getting a next gen update

If only Breakpoint had gotten the same treatment of No Man's Sky...
But no, not even a next gen patch (as of now).

A big part of the problem for me at-least is that I find PvP as a whole a lazier way of Game Designing. Just making a big battle royale means they don’t need to throw in any real thought into proper dedicated story telling. Also these companies also seem to have forgotten that not everyone wants to play PvP some of us actually enjoy a well thought out and executed single player campaign

Well its the same for PvP players. Not every PvP player wants to play the campaign. Some just want to dive right into PvP. Breakpoint as an example force you to upload the PvE screen with it extreme load time to finally get to the PvP section. Additionally whatever complaints/request PvE players want effects the PvP side when a game like Breakpoint ties PvE and PvP together. If they didn't do that half of those bugs PvE got wanted transfer to PvP and vice versa. So dealing with PvE issues/requirements isn't a picnic for PvP players as well. Got to understand both sides and know others enjoy a well thought out executed pvp structure.

Exactly! And who has time to look/wait for 3 friends to be available and online at the same time, just to play a couple of missions. Like I don’t have s*** else to do... 🤬

In this day in age thats not an issue. If you only have 3 friends that's challenging. Can't be their fault if they're on different times, playing with different players, or playing different games. Getting more friends is a solution or friend those who play the same games consistently. You have friends who may or may not play or favorite friends who down to play and leave what they doing anytime.. its not hard nor selfish and even better you can do what I do. My wife and kids game. Its easy to play online. My wife wasn't a gamer. I put myself in her shoes, took it slow, and boom she my partner in crime. However, it won't work if you set your expectations low on finding friends will take long.

I completely agree with what your saying that why I made the reference on that post about how MW handled it much better. I never thought that the PvEvP idea would work well. I think it would have been much better if they had released PvP as a completely Separate DLC pack, using each region as its own separate Map with specific mission objectives. I think this would have been more ideal for the PvP community

The concept is nice and all in a Backyardigans kind of way, but in practice, it’s a PITA. It’s a hassle, a lot of stars to align just so you can play a game. I’ll pass. #BitterB*tch

Agreed. I thought Wildlands did a great job at that by having to separate teams for both PvE and Ghost War. I believed they did the same for prior games but breakpoint oh...boy.... They mushed together out of pure laziness. Think they should either do the dlx structure like you said or make pvp a separate game and pve its separate game every year or two. Right now in the series current state I don't think either side will have the game sale without the two being together unless they do something mind blowing.

I still think most of the problems with this game came because Ubisoft were desperate to release everything before COD:MW (they would have probably had insider knowledge about MW) in hindsight which always has 20/20 vision this game still needed at least another 2 years of development And would have been better if it was released optimised for next gen consoles. In the mean time they should have kept supporting Wildlands with Year 3 and 4 content

Oh yeah.

Ubisoft had an information update? yawn. Fix the g0ddamn bugs

The good thing about the crossovers in Wildlands, is they are separate to the story. They’re an aside. Not part of the main story.

As you say a Watch Dogs crossover would be a terrible idea. The others at least, to some degree, tenuously, fit with the franchise. WatchDogs most definitely doesn’t.

Actually they are part of the main story. They are connected and take place before taking down the SB cartel. They may not be related in a way that involves taking down a section of a cartel but they are involve in something that either Unidad or SB are involved at.

Sam Fisher is following information that was sold to Unidad
Operators that called themselves team Rainbow LMAO are in the area looking for a guy that was working undercover as a SB member.
Mitchell and Kozak are investigating Russian Ultranationalist Forces which are working with Santa Blanca
Walker is searching for information regarding Bowman being a traitor.

Everything is connected.

That's why The Division (a unit that doesn't exist in this timeline) wouldn't work with Ghost Recon.

Nah, I seriously doubt it, even they know that they couldn't touch but a few percentages of that big *** pie that CoD has. You are giving them way to much credit.

More drones and bugs you say? ok sure... say no more, stand by.
