    Depois de corrigidos todos os bugs, o game passou a ser muito divertido. Pontos positivos para o mapa e equipamentos, a gama de arma é imensa e é prazeroso apertar o gatilho. Ponto negativo para a repetitividade das missões, principalmente as secundárias que são sempre iguais.

    i only played single player campaign mode. great environment.

    Noticed that if i am not detected, I can kill enemies with just 1 bullet and for some reason, when my cover is blown, enemies are suddenly harder to kill even after repeated shots to the body. head shots are always 1-shot kill which is nice. i just assumed that this game encourages you to always play on stealth mode.    i only played single player campaign mode. great environment.

    i just assumed that this game encourages you to always play on stealth mode. Careful planning of infiltration / extraction / intel gathering is the priority.

    one complaint that I have is that when the missions fails, the re-spawn location is damn far from the objective and all the enemies came back to life... it totally requires you to start all over again..

    a very enjoyable game nonetheless. love the sync-shot. ^^    … Expand

    Best Ubisoft's game I ever player. If you call this game "boring", it's just not the type of game you should play, or you need friends.

    Loading screen only when game start and when using Fast Travel.
    1-4 Squad with shared campaign.
    Diverse and big map.
    "Big" campaign.
    Playing solo is easier than with other players (Only in ground).
    Difficulty scales with the squad size

    Really enjoyable game, I say this as a fan of the series since playing the first Ghost Recon on the Xbox 360.

    I love how the weapons handle and that enemies are not bullet sponges, the open world is cool however I did find myself getting annoyed with the amount of "traveling to way point" moments.

    There are a lot of vehicles that you can drive and most of them handle nicely. The world in this game is beautiful and there a lot of intresting places and various locations. My complaints are: No various missions, the open world is way too big, the NPCs feel lifeless and the story is serviceable at best. If only they've focused on the story more instead of making such a huge map. Bugs are plaguing this game as well, most annoyingly you can easily get stuck between two rocks and then you can't get out, only if you fast travel.    … Expand

    First, they did some things really well. The core game mechanic is stealthy team takedowns of enemy bases, and they really nailed that. Congrats to the team on that.

    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

    In my humble opinion Ghost Recon Wildlands is less Ghost Recon, and more The Division. In my perspective that is not so much a bad thing, that said though I miss the the old Ghost Recon style.

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

    Ubisoft brings us a new title in the Tom Clancy franchise, Ghost Recon Wildlands. Ghost Recon is a long awaited open world, co-op game in a new location I have never experienced in a video game before with an all new enemy, Does this game get consumed by the Wildlands or does the ghost team reign supreme? let's find out.

Ghost Recon is a long awaited open world, co-op game in a new location I have never experienced in a video game before with an all new enemy, Does this game get consumed by the Wildlands or does the ghost team reign supreme? let's find out.

    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.

It does suffer from broken pacing that the developer tries to sell as 'doing everything at your own time in and order you sea fit' while also allowing you to unlock a by the hour helicopter drop off within the firs six hours of playing.

    If you resist the crutches like the too reliable AI sync shots and the unlimited number of helicopter call ins you could probably enjoy this game for what it's supposed to be; an immersive and challenging third person shooter.    … Expand

    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

So I figured, it had been almost a year, now would be a good time to give the game a try.

    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 game ended up being too big for itself.    … Expand

    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.
