Re: Ghost Recon Wildlands

So, is this kind of like The Division in the sense that I can wander around by myself, play a mission by myself, or make the decision to matchmake into a mission/group to play through missions?


I get that the gameplay is a different style, but I just mean like it's open world is fluid for the player between solo and group/matchmaking and all of your progress solo or in the group keeps advancing you through your own world/game progress?


Hope that question makes sense. lol

Yeah, it does make sense to me and I understand your question. I believe that it is, at least I hope that it is but that is what I've taken from the videos and the description of the gameplay.

Re: Ghost Recon Wildlands

Ghost and th division are not the same game.

You can matchmake too...we did a lot of that.

Playing SP you have 3 squad mates you give orders to when you choose how to engage but you can definitely roam around the land no problem.

Oh yeah....When teammates leave the game the AI teammates replace them.

Re: Ghost Recon Wildlands

My plan is to keep the three AI teammates far away so I can infiltrate and complete every mission "solo". And I will be playing on hard.

It's been too long for me without a Ubisoft game. GRW is a year since The Division. My third most wanted game for the first quarter of 2017 behind 1) For Honor and 2) Horizon: Zero Dawn.

Too many games for me!!! Barring delays, first quarter of 2017 is packed for me!!! March especially is NOT my friend!!! LOL.

I'm not 100% sure but watching the 21 minute video that was released a few days ago showed the team options. One was "fall back" or something like that so im assuming that you can do that. Will be the first thing I try, that's for sure.

Re: Ghost Recon Wildlands

Most games today do hand holding

That said there will never be another original ghost recon

Some things will never be Like it used to be

Ehh...on a positive note, at least SWAT 4 just got released on GoG finally !

Re: Ghost Recon Wildlands

No sarcasm. I love open world games in which you open up the region/district (AC, FC, Mad Max, Mafia III, etc.) and see everything on the map for one main reason - I don't have the patience to look for every single thing especially as games get bigger and bigger.



AC/FC do have options that allow you to turn OFF pretty much everything that appears on the map.



I wish EVERY open world game did the following -



1) Allow you to do something that makes everything appear on your mini-map and full map.



2) Allow you the option to turn on/off all of those icons for the mini-map AND full map separately.



This would allow you to play either way you want simply by turning on/off all the icons.



What can I say besides that's how I prefer my open world games. Having to look for every single item/collectable does not excite me at all simply because I don't have the patience to walk/drive/run down every street, alleyway, dirt path, etc. for every item to appear on the map. Just no no no for me.



I also love going district/region by district/region and clearing each one out 100% before moving on to the next one. Reason I do this is because I always complete open world games 100%. Very rare do I not do this so for me, need to have everything shown on the map. I put over 300 hours into The Witcher III with everything on the map except for the random quests so imagine how long that game would take me if it didn't have the icons on the map?



I also clear out everything because once I complete the story, the game is done. Unlike most who play through the story and go back to complete the rest of the game, I never ever do that. Once the story is finished, the game is finished so unless some item, quest, collectable, etc. is a huge pain to get, I always finish the game with 100% completion as im finishing the story.



As for the icons/helpers, that's in nearly every open world game but im pretty sure that you can turn that stuff off in the options menu ala AC/FC.



I played Ghost Recon Future Soldier and hated it. Simply wasn't for me. Ghost Recon Wildlands gives me all the stuff I prefer in my Ubisoft open world games and that's a good thing because considering how huge this game is, imagine how long it would take to find and complete everything? Especially for me since I go for 100% completion.



As for being a "tactical shooter", there's no actual cover system in the game which is the only negative I have against the game. Why they just didn't copy the cover system from The Division is beyond me but nevertheless, im still pumped and can't wait to play the game.

There is a cover system in the game, it's just not manually activated

Re: Ghost Recon Wildlands

From the Game Informer article -

"My only complaint here is that the cover system, which is automatic, doesn't always work. Sometimes when you want to take cover next to a wall your character will just stand there, which is hopefully something Ubisoft can tweak before the game's release."

I know that there was a cover system in the game but it's like Tomb Raider where you crouch behind stuff as opposed to The Division where you're pressed up against cover.

The lack of a true cover system is my only complaint based on what I have seen and read. Just wish it was setup like The Division as it was perfect, at least for me anyway.
