    Re: Ghost Recon Wildlands

    Its a Ghost Recon game in name only. Its more like Grand Theft Bolivia.

    Lots of jacking of vehicles or helicopters and for lengthy traveling to get to missions and side missions. Cars handle a little worse than GTA.

    The combat is somewhat realistic; one shot kills and you do go down fast if you take damage. I was playing on the second of four difficulty levels.

    Got to Level 5 and so far I've seen only 3 types of side missions: 1. Get intel/interrogate enemy at enemy camp. 2. Steal enemy plane. 3. Hijack convoy. The hijack convoy mission involved ramming a truck until it was disabled. I was able to do that with a helicopter. It was fun, but really is this Ghost Recon?

    Graphics are average I'd say for open world on the console. Far Cry 4 looked better. Some enemy camps looked the same, like you've been there before. One building was pure cut and paste from another I'd visited.

    There is an upgrade system (RPG lite) where you trade points acquired from missions and capped supplies for skills and perks, like increased revive speed, extra grenades. damage protection, health regen, improved drone, etc. I liked the drone.

    Maybe they could overlay some sort of hard core mode into multiplayer? That would be the only hope to find a Ghost Recon game here.

    I'm still getting it since I like playing open world coop games and there aren't too many like this one where the entire campaign can be played solo or 2-4 players.

      Re: Ghost Recon Wildlands

      I'm sure there will be a bit more tuning, and will be interesting to see how it evolves as we've seen happen with games like Rainbox Six.

      I don't expect the game to fundamentally change much more than the beta though. If you don't like the Far Cry/Just Cause feel of it, it's not going to become another game in the next few months.

      It reminded us a little bit of GRAW when we were mostly grounded and were taking based covertly, but once we got into the air things changed and in the end we were making comparisons more to games like Halo 4 (especially with us all piled into a car and bouncing around like it was a warthog).

      What I mostly want to see is how the terrain changes. This was a slice of 21 areas. Game is massive, does it all look the same?

      I like the web of the crime syndicate they have set up and want to see more of that.

        Can anyone tell me how to invite friends to get a code on X1? When I try to do it through website the page just keeps refreshing for some reason.
        EA and 2k have the unfortunate task of trying to balance on a tightrope of fun and sim while trying not to fall 10,000 feet to their death. Instead of a safety net waiting down below there will just be angry customers quick to move out of the way and talk of their failure.

            Re: Ghost Recon Wildlands

            Why did Ubisoft make it a pain in the butt to send someone a code? It says I have 3 codes for friends, but it's a mission to send. You have to become friends on Ubisoft club then you can send it and my friend said he still hasn't gotten the code I sent him. Does anyone know a simpler way to do it?

                        This game is glitchy and wonky as ****. It's pretty fun tho. Seems like the type of game that you don't even want to pick up without at least one friend to play with.

                          A few issues I noticed so far on XboxONE single player.

                          Hard to see text in menu, especially the Kingslayer Files black text on a dotted background is terrible.

                          This white outline on everything at night. Not sure if it's done like this on purpose to help the user see better? but its a bit distracting.

                          No medium paced walk available when Not holding any weapon in hand only very slow walk and running is available. Please add medium paced walk to no weapon in hand like available with gun is in hand.

                          When you go down waiting to be saved the sound of gunshots goes away, its like the enemy's stop shooting when you go down? Gunshots should still be flaying towards your teammates and the sound should be faint while fallen waiting to be saved.

                          Driving is kinda wonky hard to control but maybe I just need to get use to it.
                          Great stuff! Thanks for posting.
                          Is the game too open?
                          Is it easy to get lost in the world or is there still some direction?

                                Yea man they need to fix that. Most other companies just send you 3-4 extra codes when you get your email to share with your friends. Probably a waste of time trying to contact Ubisoft about it too.
