    Gameplay
    - It's mostly great. Did suffer from glitches at the beginning, but it's been mostly ironed out. It's a Ubisoft game, so expect bugs.
    - Sniping and stealth gameplay is pretty good too and I love the sync shot. Your Teammate AI never misses! They are also better than human coop players.
    - However it's more fun playing with other real people to tackle missions.
    - Good graphics for a open world game and the map is huge. Biggest i've seen in any open world game. It cool to go sky diving or gliding. landscape and scenery is gorgeous. A bit like Uncharted, but better I think.

    - There are lots of enemy bases scattered around the map.

    Con
    - Side missions are way way way too repetitve and grind-ish.
    - Main missions do sort of get repetitive, but the it flows better because it adds an element of infiltration into more unique enemy bases.
    - main missions need to incorporate skydiving, driving or bike riding more to vary the mission style. The same goes for vehicle use. Everyone just uses a helicopter to travel.

    The Story
    It's a bit bland to be honest. There is some great voice acting, but the dialogue between your agent and your fellow agents is extremely limited and repetitive. They always say the same thing. There is particular teammate AI who jokes a bit, but other than that we don't learn about each character and we don't feel attached despite the character customisations.

    But when you finish the game, there is not much else to do unless you start a new game.

    Best part of Ghost recon wildlands is sniping for sure. But understandably it's really hard snipe enemies if your draw distance is limited to 500m. It does help with a teammate.

    Overall great concept from Ubisoft, but wished it had a more RPG element to it to make the game more memorable.    … Expand

    This game was fun to play but missions are very repetitive. The story was interesting but just like the missions the dialogue and banter between you and your team is a lot of rinse and repeat.

    Not good,not bad. Nice country that the game is set in. Fun to play the campaign with friends,even though it's full of bugs and glitches,and sometimes very dumb AI. Missions are more or less all the same. Clear the area- kill the main guy in the region. Rinse and repeat.

    I came to this party late, but so far pretty impressed. Now it is a few years old and the UBISOFT servers are terrible trying to play with others but the story mode keeps me busy and entertained. I give it a 7/10 because of the servers being difficult to connect today.

Enjoy mostly useless skill points with little impact on game play but no skill to improve weapon reloading time and bear the misery by collecting skill points scattered around in the world, stroll around in planes, copters, boats, bikes and many vehicles with clumsy controls and get dive into Mad Max by engaging in vehicular combat & road rage every time you drove around.

    The Game is filled with unique features like copters fly faster then planes AND Best of all which no science fiction have ever Imagined of is teleportation Where your squad will teleport to every vehicle you chose to drive or fly.

    Enjoy dated graphics and test your patience at a whole different level by bearing three loading screens and a skip scene before game starts, by dying and reviving, Bugs like game stuck sometimes and weapon chests don't appear or don't open AND thats not all toast your ear drums by listening trash on the radio and every where you go, finely get relief by turning music settings to zero.

    Bust up with fun by playing repetitive story missions, extremely dull & repetitive side missions & poorly executed cut scene which developers just wanted to get rid off. Ubisoft had you covered every where enjoy one wheeling on a bike for extended period on the salt flat without getting disturbed AND IF you love rain then you are in luck b/z the only weather effect this game can provide is RAIN RAIN And Only Rain.

    MEET the richest gorillas on the plant as they can provide you with armored vehicles and copters but no land vehicle when you need it.Test your skills by triggering gun battle with unlimited number of corrupt special forces as there are no heavy weapons in the game like rocket and grenade launchers.

    AND Enjoy the fruits of terror you unleashed by not worrying about bosses b/z they are ALL Scared like little girls hiding behind desk or a car and will tell you every thing without any resistance just easy peasy.

    It's time to move on Ubi and be creative again. Assassins creed died when the deeper Desmond story was gone, Farcry 4 and primal were also generic so go back to hiring some good writers and creative people to come up with new ideas which will improve your company in long term.    … Expand

    I can truly understand why professional reviews score it so highly as professional reviewers often don't get to spend a lot of time with a game prior to making a judgement. If I were judging the game by my impressions after completing only one or two provinces, I'd likely give it an 8 as well.

If I were judging the game by my impressions after completing only one or two provinces, I'd likely give it an 8 as well. However, the problems begin to show as the game wears on, even with a dedicated group of friends playing regularly for a few hours a night, as was my case.

    Frankly, once you've fully completed your first province, you've seen everything the game has to offer. By the time you've done enough to defeat your first underboss, you'll probably be tired of the gameplay. Every province might look different but they all play the same. The same mission types, the same rebel ops, the same convoys, the same side missions. There's no real variation, every mission is either stealth to area X and do Y, kill or capture X, or steal item X. Almost all of them use the exact same mechanics as every other side mission, so your main missions might involve hijacking a truck which operates identically to taking down a convoy.

    Each province is littered with crap to collect, more guns than you'll ever likely use with most of them utter garbage. A quick glance of your UI pretty much tells you the best guns in the game and tells you in which provinces they can be found.

    Enemy AI, even on higher difficulty levels, is pathetically stupid. Especially the supposed military force, UNIDAD, who I've literally had stand over where I was hiding in a bush and not see me. The story, if you want to call it that, is pretty much a mashup of the movies "A Clear and Present Danger" and "SICARIO". There are also a plethora of bugs to be found that frequently causes mission problems and mission failures. One example off the top of my head: One particular mission where you have to deliver a truck without being detected. We stopped a good 600 meters away and silently took out all of the enemies at the drop off point, but when we drove the truck into the lot it instantly failed and said we had been detected somehow. We did the same thing on a subsequent attempt - EXACTLY the same, down to firing from the same place - and it completed.

    Bugs and hackneyed story aside, it's the sheer rote gameplay that brings it down. By the time my 2 other friends and I had managed to take down a department head, we were all desperately bored of the game. Tonight, as I type this, one of them is off playing FF15 instead and I'm not at all enthused about logging into Wildlands, especially not if it means playing solo with the friendly AI that's just as dumb as the enemies.

    I can't recommend buying this until it's cheap in the bargain bin. This is a prime example of the problems with massive open world games. The size of the playable area doesn't ensure a quality experience.    … Expand

    Below average product, the customization is not deep, the world is boring, the gameplay is stiffy, storytelling is one of the worst issues, the only thing how you can have lots of fun is playing with friends and mock out of the ridiculiness of the game, way worst than The Division or Phantoms.

    I'm not exactly sure where all of the hate comes from for this game. Maybe they just don't like Ubisoft due to the over exaggerated Watchdogs situation, or maybe Uplay. No idea.

    Ghost Recon: Wildlands to me is a lot of fun. I have about 15 to 20 hours into the game, which to today's standard is pretty long. With that time though I haven't even gotten through two of the lower level bosses. I will go down the list of important traits to explain why I like the game so much and give it such a high rating.

    Content: Ubisoft did an amazing job of filling this game with stuff to do. Some might complain "it's the same thing over and over" and then go play CoD multiplayer. Whether you're doing a story mission, or going for a weapons crate, the map is filled with icons that represent something you can do, and on top of that you can unlock more by completing interrogations and getting information from informants along the way, granting even more content.

    Customization: This is one of the most highly customizable shooters I have ever seen at launch. head gear, tops, bottoms, colors. The only complaint I have is there are only few facial options to choose from, but otherwise the customization is very very good.

    Graphics: I play Wildlands on a Ps4 Pro, I have a gaming PC but none of my PC friends are that into shooters. The game looks great on Ps4 Pro in just about every aspect. Ubisoft did a great job in making sure they didn't stick players in the same environments throughout the entire map and were able to nicely design everything from the desert to snowy mountains, and it all looks great.

    Bugs: Surprisingly I haven't run into too many bugs so far in the game. I am sure there are plenty, as with most games, just a matter of finding them. No developer is immune to bugs, so I never hold it against a dev unless there's a ton of them, which doesn't seem to be the case.

    Co-op: I have only played solo and with one other player. So I can't speak for up to four players, but I have seen some youtube videos of players getting into shenanigans with their friends in four player co-op. To me four player is the ideal way to play, with the difficulty jacked up a bit to really get you into it and thinking on how to complete a mission.

    AI: This is an area that I think Ubisoft Paris can improve on. Sometimes the AI just sits in one area, never moving, I have been able to sneak up behind them easily very often and just pop them in the head, and this is after engagement and they have moved to cover. It's as if once they get to cover the code stops and they barely even pop up to shoot. I am hoping with difficulty increases that this changes.

    Vehicles: I am a little disappointed that four wheelers aren't in the game, or I at least haven't found one yet. Aside from that I have been pleasantly surprised with how good the driving is for ground vehicles, it's not jerky and driving fast is smooth. The Helicopter isn't hard to drive, but takes some getting used to, as I went in thinking GTA V helicopters. The plane is much like GTA V.

    Banter: As a Marine veteran I can appreciate Ubisoft trying to capture the banter between the Ghosts, and it is a much needed part of the game, but I have to admit some of it is so damn cheesy.

    Overall I have really enjoyed the game and I think Ubisoft did a great job making a beautiful game that has a lot of content that will keep you busy for a long time, and that's not including any DLC they will release. I definitely recommend you give it a try. I always tell friends who are hesitant with a game to pick it up at a redbox or gamefly it, this way you can get a look for yourself.

    Wishlist: Four wheelers, more eccentric character customization options. Missions that require parachuting (there isn't much reason to since the helicopters are plenty and convenient).    … Expand

    The varied environments and weapon customization in this game are awesome but everything else is either average or below. The story missions are repetitive and the story itself is pretty dry and uneventful. My biggest problem with the game was the story ending. I basically wasted dozens of hours for absolutely nothing.

PP isn't the best game, but I loved the precision and responsiveness of the controls. With GRW I have to re position myself over and over especially when behind wall cover. Give me a button to press to cover like in GTA not me just pushing on the stick which makes my Ghost looks like his back rubbing the fkn wall like a Grizzly Bear does to a tree.

    Not to mention the vehicle controls...they suck. Physics engine sucks. I tried to go full out with a motor bike to see myself fly off like in GTA...you do fly off, but instead of rag dolling you have a scripted way of dying like you've been stabbed in the chest. The helicopter flying...sucks. I got a helicopter with 2 miniguns and you can't even First person to aim it correctly at your target. You just pushing down and spray and pray hope for the best and kill mostly civilians (wow just like real life).

    Not to mention the various glitches and bugs but that's standard with Ubisoft games these days. Getting stuck in a hole, if you're not playing MP you have to quit the game. During MP if you're stuck you can fast travel to your team mate.

    The only thing great about this game is the MP. Playing with mates is fun, especially the bragging rights of sniper kills and the mockery of the team mate who misses the shot and raises the alarm.

    Overall, I'll give this game a 5. I'll probably platinum it before I return it. Ubisoft are really going soft with their games.

There is pretty much no unlocking the map, all you do is cross the border and BAM! New area opened.

First, your friendlies don't pay attention to where enemies are, they will take cover right next to an enemy because they can't get spotted, this not only breaks immersion, but is just sloppy design and makes no sense. Second, the enemy AI is horrendous. The best way for me to explain this to you is to bring up the moment when I was shot out of a moving helicopter by a regular enemy grunt that was using an automatic pistol from 300 meters. Yes, it's that terrible. I suppose one could say that I've been spoiled when it comes to tactical gameplay and realistic AI because I'm a huge fan of Arma. Why I even expected to get a game of that caliber from Ubisoft is beyond me. Also, my biggest pet-peeve comes with this mess of a game: bum-rushing enemies. If Ubi would take five minutes and do some research into real life firefights, they would realize that people usually stay put during firefights, you know, lest they move out into the open and get shot. The enemies in this game don't care if they die, so they will sprint out into the open, straight at you, and lay fire into you from a position that you can't aim at. Believe me, if you are wanting to waste a few hours of your life doing nothing productive, then get this game. If you're looking for a realistic, open-world co-op shooter, get Arma III or Squad.… Expand

The game takes place in Bolivia with the country having become increasingly unstable due to the influence of a Mexican drug cartel.

    Ubisoft are often criticised for sticking to the same formula with their open world titles and playing Wildlands you can see why. The game features a huge open world, and you can’t really pick any faults with the mechanics, but there isn’t an ounce of imagination or originality to be found here. Virtually mission involves picking a location from the icons dotted around the map, travelling there and then killing all the bad guys. The missions that do actually do soemthing different are even worse and usually involve picking up and/ or following and NPC around until they trigger the next goal.

    With a squad of friends you could perhaps get some enjoyment from Wildlands, and it’s a better game than The Division with its tedious bullet sponge enemies, but this is a completely wasted opportunity.    … Expand

    I didn't think there was a such thing as too big an open world until I played this game. The gameplay is exactly like Far Cry or Metal Gear, inasmuch as you sneak up to a base, mark all the enemies, try to take them down silently or just blast your way in. The problem is, it's almost always impossible to get them all silently because they realistically (but un-funly) stay insideI didn't think there was a such thing as too big an open world until I played this game. The gameplay is exactly like Far Cry or Metal Gear, inasmuch as you sneak up to a base, mark all the enemies, try to take them down silently or just blast your way in. The problem is, it's almost always impossible to get them all silently because they realistically (but un-funly) stay inside buildings or somehow know exactly where you are if you miss a shot at them. And, you guessed it, once they're alerted, they'll sound an alarm and get an attack helicopter on you and that's that. Initially the game stays fresh by implementing squad tactics, but the map is so huge and the missions so numerous that you invariably feel like you've done that stupid mission where you have to silently interrogate a boss to get intel and you'll sigh when you realize your next objective is 17 kilometers away. The biggest problem is that the upgrade system is completely meaningless - you get such amazing skills as 5% less scope movement on a sniper rifle or 5% faster squad revive - so you never feel like you're getting any better. Even worse, the only way to get new guns (and actually be better) is to do a minimum of 3 of the aforementioned repetitive intel missions only to find the gun is buried in some cave 32 km away.

    Honestly, I played the game about 25 hours doing side missions and the main missions and I finished about 30% of the game's massive main mission to take down a drug kingpin. The though of how repetitive that journey would be led me to trade it in.    … Expand

I had high hopes for Ghost Recon Wildlands, and honestly, I thought the beta would help me in deciding whether to go ahead and purchase the Gold version with all the planned DLC. Wow. Talk about disappointment. This has been described as a mash-up of Far Cry 4 and The Division? I have the full DLC of both of those game and love both. Ghost Recon Wildlands is a far weaker version of either. The landscape, while looking absolutely gorgeous, has no substance. You can literally drive straight through bushes, plants, large trees, mostly everything except unlevel terrain, exactly as you would empty fields. Until you get to a spot where there is supposed to be action, and then WHAM! even the smallest fence brings your vehicle to a dead stop. I just drove through a massive tree and yet a tiny wooden fence is an impenetrable barrier? Otherwise, for the most part, driving land based vehicles is pretty decent - I especially like the controls. Helicopters are another story and feel like cars in the air.
    The AI feels like it cheats. It has a detection meter but it feels inconsistent. I realize in real life that random things happen that affect whether you might be seen, but even if I grant that to the AI, it just seems phony. Sometimes it is so easy to get seen and other times I can waltz around like an idiot without so much as a glance by the bad guys. Seems slightly pre-scripted. And then several dozen bad guys immediately show up. From where? I just spent 20 minutes circling the place and yet it only took 20 seconds from being detected for 4 vehicles full of baddies to arrive. Sigh.
    Finally, this is mostly a shooting game. You gotta get that right and they didn't. I like the little bob and sway when moving the gun side-to-side, but that pretty much ends my list of positives. Both Far Cry 4 and The Division had far better shooting. No real ability to use cover either. And the sync shot gimmick and in the entire process of handling the other team members is annoying and useless anyway. Maybe it would be better with 4 real live players but in single player mode it is not worth the effort.
    I had such high hopes. Thank you, Ubisoft, for allowing the beta to demo your product. Honestly, it was the deciding factor between scoring your game a 6 rather than a 5.    … Expand

    The visuals are stunning without a doubt and the realism definitely sticks out, however, the open world is almost too open. I actually preferred the small scale of the Division's NY setting. Probably because of the vast amount of time I spent travelling to a mission apparently only 2 miles away, but 10 minutes to get to. If you aren't playing with friends, the AI can be hit or miss if not given specific demands. The cartel idea actually makes for a really good story, it just isn't executed well. I feel like this game struggles to identify what type of shooter it wants to be. The various amount of ways you can take on a mission is great, but if you plan on doing stealth, you are better off doing it with the AI.

    The multiplayer was frustrating. You HAVE to have a set group before the mission or else randomly selecting people, you end up with people 3-4 miles away. This game isn't terrible, it just doesn't feel like a Ghost Recon. More like a Mercenaries with better graphics and a more straightforward story.    … Expand

You can play Wildlands much more tactically like a Ghost Recon game, or you can go guns blazing, and even that creates some goofy, and entertaining fun. The problem for me I think is the repetitive gameplay. There is sssssoooooo much to do. The map is littered with side missions like getting intel, supplies, rescuing rebels, etc. It just all feels the same. Sure, technically all games are repetitive, especially in shooters like this. There just isn't much to grab on to. I could care less about my character, or any other character for that matter which makes it hard for me to justify doing every mission. There is just a disconnect there. The game shines the most when playing with friends, and NOT the AI buddies. We were able to get into some wacky situations. We also were able to coordinate tactical strikes, and finish missions without being seen at all. We were ghosts, so to speak. :-) In that sense it gives you a feeling of accomplishment. The sync shots are really cool. This is when you have maybe 3 or 4 enemies standing around next to each other or far apart and call your shots. Maybe one friend gets one enemy, another friend gets another enemy, so on and so forth. You all fire at the same time and the enemies drop without alerting anyone nearby. I found though, that going in guns blazing was much more fun to me, and the best part is the game doesn't feel like it's punishing you for doing it that way mostly because of how well the game plays. Just for context sake I liked The Division wwwaaayyyy more. It kinda seems like, (with my friends anyway) that if you hated The Division you might really like Wildlands and if you loved The Division you may not like Wildlands. Either way I would probably wait on this one. At least until the price drops a little bit, or you can find a used copy.… Expand

    Initially, I really enjoyed my time the game. I had put 20 hours into the game and I was having fun but then it became too much. I didn’t sit and count how many provinces were in the game but I would guess the in-game map had at least 20 provinces or sections.

    What the gameplay loop was, go into a new area. You have very little information about the area and so you go in and talk to NPC’s or find computers that you “hack” which tells you where the story mission intel is. You go to the story mission intel and then that tells you where you need to go for the actual story mission. Now you need to do that approximately 5 times per area because each area has approximately 5 story missions. Once you complete all 5 story missions that bring out the “boss” of that area so you can capture or kill them. Once you kill the Provinces boss, you completed that Province and you move onto a new one.

    The big problem is, there wasn’t enough variety in each mission and it was too big and too ambitious. I had completed 5-6 areas and that took me 20ish hours. I just looked at the map and felt exhausted. I didn’t have it in me to play the game for another 50+ hours. I like shorter games, 20-30 hours is great for me.

    The biggest problem is how much empty space there is in between the enemy bases. This leads to navigation between missions / game activities feeling slow and boring.

    The next big problem is that there aren't enough save points in large story missions. I just finished a mission where the first part was a stealthy takedown of a large base. I spent maybe 20 minutes on it. After taking down the base another part of the mission unlocks: a time-sensitive takedown of a boss somewhere else. I failed that part. And then I had to do the first part all over again. I was wiling to try it once more. But after failing it again, I wasn't willing to try again.

    The marketing of the game relied heavily on how large the map was, and how varied the terrain would be. But navigation is so slow (I've never played a game where the helicopters and planes just inch along), and so little seems to happen in the world outside the missions, that I just find myself caring.

    I feel like putting in the latest Just Cause, where navigation in an open world is fun, or the latest Assassins Creed, where there's always something fun to do, instead.    … Expand

    Story: You and your special operations team start off the game by entering Bolivia and meeting agent Karen Bowman, as you make your way to the extraction point Karen is briefing you on the mission (operation Kingslayer). Your mission in Wildlands is to take down the Santa Blanca cartel and stop there terrorizing of the Bolivian country, Corruption of politics, Cocaine Distribution, kidnapping the rebels (Resistance against Santa Blanca Cartel). Once all the territories are cleared you then have the chance to go after El Sueno who is the head honcho of the Santa Blanca Cartel; as you progress through the game and clear regions you end up taking out the Cartels lieutenants by destroying their plants, communications, and convoys.

    Gameplay: Ghost Recon Wildlands is an open world third person/First person open world game that pushes co-op, but I prefer to play it by myself that way I am in complete control of myself and my team. The team in this game plays a very big part by aiming at certain enemies to take out at enemy bases that you assign to them; it's not all good though your team can be spotted very easily, at often they take forever getting to a position to get a clear shot on a target, and they sometimes do little support during a gun fight outside of a vehicle. The gameplay is fantastic from customizing your guns anyway you want too, the leveling up perks like your drone, squad, and gadgets, but when you are out there doing the missions and side content it becomes very repetitive after a few regions are cleared but that is ok I find, because it is still a very exciting game you just need to take breaks. Stealth is a very important part of this game when approaching enemies and enemy bases because if you go into a full blazing gunfight you're going to die. Traveling is another thing that has issues all on its own, you can go off road with vehicles but don't let me get stuck on a rock with a dirt bike. The controls with some air vehicles are not great which is unfortunate because I love going as high as I can and jumping out and parachuting.

    ConClusion: Ghost Recon is a fantastic game, that unfortunately, you need to take breaks from due to repetitiveness, it reminds me of movies like Act Of Valor or Lone Survivor. Co-op is pushed in this game but is not needed to have a great experience, a great story with good gameplay good but not great due to glitches and technical issues with the driving.

    GhostRecon Wildlands: 7.5/10
    Good Job Ubisoft.

    "ok" gameplay wise, and unfortunately the story/missions/etc. just generally feel boring to me. Maybe because I am actually military, that these missions just feel like work. Multiplayer has always been god awful since they kept vote kick in. And unfortunately the control scheme is clunky and not fun.

    Ground Branch does it better.

    Good size map beautiful location time of gameplay long and nice coop game mechanics. Because it's an open world game it's not a guided experience it's long and haves its grinding but thats what makes it it's own not something that makes it bad.

    Overall experience is good
    Enjoyable co-op experience/ solo play is good, considering stealth op is my favourite
    Difficulty is just nice for fair to good player
    Enemy is not just bullet sponge, stealth kill with one bullet, alert enemy required more effort in killing
    Connectivity to server is good
    Mission objectives can be cleared in may ways

    -Co-op was a lot of fun as well

    Negatives:

    -Quite a buggy and glitchy shooter, one example is on 3 separate occasions i ended up falling through the map and dropping 550m+ to my death
    -Post-game is terrible, very difficult to continue on as there is not a lot of post game content to keep you intrigued
    -The post-game system "Tier One" didn't work for me it felt very unrewarding and to get the most out of it you would have to play solo as when your in a lobby it averages out the players levels. So if you were say Tier 35 and 2 or 3 players haven't even started Tier one yet you would get LESS rewards which is a terrible system and the lower level players would get MORE rewards due to your Tier level.
    -Difficulty scale is higher questionable, felt like I was taking the same number of shots going down on different difficulty levels.

    Overall a game that had a lot of potential that failed major time with the post-game.    … Expand

    All in all good game with very VERY amazing content, but at the end of the day when you beat the game it get's repetitive as all hell. The constant shouting from ally rebels at a spawn/travel point really really gets on my nerves and so do the goddamn same repetitive lines from your AI members. I give it a 6/10 because it was still better and more what I expected it to be compared to The Division.

Esse jogo é exatamente isso, o modo single player é divertido durante algumas horas, com os amigos, fora isso, nada mais e do que passar horas invadindo bases e mais bases, sem mencionar a estupidez da IA. Outro ponto é o recente “Modo Ghost” que chegou tarde para o jogo, quando todos estavam desinteressados. Mas o principal que mantém o jogo vivo ainda é o modo multiplayer, que está quebrado, não há muitas opções de mapas, de modos de jogo,, você é limitado a escolher as armas e os equipamentos que já estão predefinidos por classe, algumas classes estão desbalanceadas, não há um filtro de partida entre os níveis dos jogadores, há bugs no jogo e a Ubisoft vai aparecer a cada três ou quatro meses com um update de mais de 70GB pra colocar um mapa e dois personagens. Como os demais jogos da Ubisoft que não deram certo (como o popular Rainbow Six Siege), este é só mais um com um bom trailer, uma boa ideia e que a Ubisoft desperdiçou.… Expand

    This game is good. And by that I mean the gameplay, gunplay and the open world. The driving is horrible. I can't even drive properly without driving off a cliff. The story is meh. The characters are boring and I dont have to care about them. They are dead in 30 minutes anyways.

    When i started playing this game i was amazed. Massive map, decent amount of customisation, range of missions and more. I think its fun and a decent game. The reason i give it a 5 is because of the absolute bullsh¡t that occurs in this game. 1. The driving is **** try going round a corner or taking a bend, you 100% going off-road. 2. Dont know if anybody else has this issue but if an enemyWhen i started playing this game i was amazed. Massive map, decent amount of customisation, range of missions and more.

The driving is **** try going round a corner or taking a bend, you 100% going off-road. 2. Dont know if anybody else has this issue but if an enemy is behind cover and i can see their head, i cant shoot them? Sorry what!? Yep. An enemy behind a small wall or a window cannot be shot, for me. Comes up with a red X and shoots at the wall. When i try to look round a wall and shoot an enemy, i end up dying because the wall get locked onto automatically, i even tried FP to see if that was the issue but still, the walls on this game take all my bullets. 3. The enemies dont give a **** about their lives. Cool i get it, theirs 10 of them 2 of us, they will rush. But they run in all guns blazing, covers compromised, flanked left and right. Cars pulling up behind me. I get it, 4 of you work together. But people are stupid. They dont want to work as a team. They would rather sabotage your **** 4. Leaving a minute to be revived is cool and **** but sometimes no one is near me and i have to lay 15km away from someone for a whole minute. Which is alot longer when your counting btw. Add a button for instant death or something. Also, i died 7km away from my fellow teammates. I was doing a mission myself as they were ****ing about. I dont mind dying but making me spawn on a teammate is ****ing ridiculous. I have to spawn 7km away from my objective? Why? Ever heard of ‘restart from checkpoint’?

    5. Automatic changing of shoulder view. OMG this is the one that pisses me off the most. Walking through a building, about to walk through a door and shoot an enemy, as i press the shoot button (not making any contact with R1) it switches shoulder, i miss half a clip trying to spray this ****er, tells me to fall back, i kill the **** then i die because of low health and a cheeky bastard pops out. Nice. I get that it’s supposed to be a challenging game. I like that its not easy. Makes me play stealthy, you aint winning a gun fight. I just think that theres difficulty and then theres bull****. I like the game, would have given it a 10/10. The aspect of the game is great, storyline is a bit **** but hey ho, i really do love and enjoy playing it, occasionally. But each point of bull**** has knocked a point of my rating. Really disappointed but then again. ITS UBISOFT    … Expand

    Like most of the Ubisoft games. It was no good when it launched. But with updates it got better. Main game is repetitive. Ghost War PVP mode came months later after launch. I like this game's PvP. it is fun and tactical. Not much players left but i am still playing PvP and enjoying most of it. It is surely better than Breakpoint's PvP mode.

    A Massive Open World Game and also very Big Game, Gameplay is very good but most of the Missions are repeated, We feel like playing the same mission several times. We can play as a team of Four, Our Bot teammates can do well they'll follow our instructions and it can make the Task bit easy. The Build up they give the Villan is very big but at the end he'll be killed very simply.

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    Ghost Recon: Wildlands excels in the sheer size of it and has a ton of content which offers you and your friends endless possibilities and lots of fun. The gameplay, on the other hand, is often repetitive, which causes the game to be just a little less than fantastic.
