    I had this 8 point score before all the changes, (Tier 1 system etc.) Some of changes made quite improvement like we can actually aim and shoot from chopper, which is so much better. I did like the new Tier 1 system at the beginning, but as you level up the tier, game becomes more and more unplayable, losing fun because enemies are way too strong and nothing makes sense about "being ghost"I had this 8 point score before all the changes, (Tier 1 system etc.) Some of changes made quite improvement like we can actually aim and shoot from chopper, which is so much better. I did like the new Tier 1 system at the beginning, but as you level up the tier, game becomes more and more unplayable, losing fun because enemies are way too strong and nothing makes sense about "being ghost" when you try to sneak in. because they impossibly spot you even though you are not detected yet. And only thing you can improve is your gun damage. I mean what?! This has to also let us improve our body armors and everything. because they literally kill you one shot from no where. This all has to be fixed.… Expand

    Stupid game. Too big map with ultra boring missions. Absolutely all missions are 90% the same, only the location is different. I haven’t tried the co-op, but the single player is awful.

    This game is ridiculous. I started off being amazed by the open world...and I pretty much just stayed amazed with the open world.

After that, the side missions (as everyone has stated) are ridiculously repetitive and boring. I despise any mission that tells me I can't be detected. All this aside - the unidad and their bases are by far the worst part of this game. If you kill them and don't run away, they simply keep coming. There is no way to overpower the force. Additionally, when you destroy any SAM site, they just spawn again. It is fun dodging missiles for awhile, however, when it blows up a plane you need for a side mission, it gets old. This game was fun for a few hours, however, I don't see many people sticking with it till the end. The story is weak, the characters are crap, and the constant presence of unidad is obscene.… Expand

    Typical Ubisoft game at its worst. Big open world with no variety or story to keep you going.
    It's a big map with sparkled places around with identical missions.
    It seems the game was made by different team that made previous Ghost Recon games. While the previous games had their own problems, they were polished and fun to play. Wildlands, on the other hand, seems very amateurish and    Typical Ubisoft game at its worst. Big open world with no variety or story to keep you going.

    All the game has is marketing lines, big open world with a lot of to explore, weapon customization etc.
    All you do in the game is drive around to the same mission you just did a moment ago. There's no sense of tactical battles, tension seen in previous GR games. You get to the place, a few bad guys pops put, there's a little shooting COD style, then you drive to another place to do exact same thing until you discover philosophical side in yourself asking how long can you do the same things. So much for exploring the big open world. The weapon customization is just as inspiring as the gameplay.
    Coop doesn't change anything. The same horrendous gameplay, just with other people.    … Expand

    Pros: Cool Settings, Open World, Classic Ghost Recon feel

    Cons: AI is terrible, The missions are repetitive, Dialogue and story bland at best.

    Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands
    The most garbage excuse for a AAA game I’ve ever seen.
    Allow me to get my angry joe on for a moment, because ubisoft, yuh done **** it up Not just ghost recon wildlands, but video games in general if you think that in any way this is an acceptable $60 release This is the laziest piece of garbage put onto market for $60 in recent memory This game is    Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands
    The most garbage excuse for a AAA game I’ve ever seen.
    Allow me to get my angry joe on for a moment, because ubisoft, yuh done **** it up
    Not just ghost recon wildlands, but video games in general if you think that in any way this is an acceptable $60 release
    This is the laziest piece of garbage put onto market for $60 in recent memory
    This game is just a bunch of side quests on a dead, but beautiful map
    this generic drug lord story is so throw away that the game doesn’t even make you bother taking out all of the underbosses and making your way up to the final show down
    after killing just 2 targets the game told me I can go kill the final boss right now or continue cleaning up the map
    meaning you can literally beat this game in less than 4 hours
    it took me a little long because I decided to play online and do the other missions around the map…
    missions that in the end don’t really matter.. Cause again, the final boss is right there... drive up to his gates and activate a cut scene, ding... gold trophy...
    This is a scary scary indication of what ubisoft plants to do with its lack of narrative focus…
    this is let’s play streamer garbage…
    the story is forced in this map to trick you into believing this is an actual full-fledged AAA release, buts it’s not
    it’s a giant map with weightless vehicles to drive around, 1 garbage radio station because that’s how much ubsioft believed in this title… and a bunch of side missions and collectibles to upgrade your character to do with 3 of your friends for 20 hours.
    Missions that are literally the worst kind…
    time trials... auto fails if you’re detected... do not kill the target…
    thanks but no thanks…
    You can be calculating if you want, taking out binoculars or flying your drone in there, syncing up shots… The gunplay feels nice
    but again... with a lack of any true narrative…you don’t feel like you’re working towards anything… you feel like you’re wasting your time... and quite frankly you are…
    The games boring, the missions are trash, if you don’t plan on playing with your friends.. Stay away from this garbage…
    Ubisoft put no real effort or heart into this at all.

    This is The division with just a new skin, the environmentt is about the only thing worthwhile, the AI is dumb, the missions are the same fetch missions as with any other ubisoft game, save some time and find another game because this one is just a time drain like the division.

    Ce jeu, qui avait au départ les éléments pour devenir mémorable, est l'une des pires daubes de Ubisoft.

    Comme tous les produits de cette entreprise surévaluée, la photographie est superbe mais le plaisir de jouer cède rapidement la place à une grande déception. Et cela même s'en tenir compte des bugs et écrans qui gèlent aux 15 minutes.

    Vos "partenaires" sont tellement cons que c'est à faire pleurer. Impossible de jouer vraiment en stealth parce que l'un de trois se fera détecter ou marchera carrément dans les bras des ennemis. Et si vous vous tirez dessus, ils resteront là à attendre la directive de tirer au lieu de simplement venir à votre aide. Trois vraies NOUILLES INUTILES !!!!!

    Message pour UBISOFT : Ce serait bien si nous pouvions avoir l'option de les envoyer au campement ET QU'ILS Y RESTENT...De toute façon, le jeu est plus captivant en solo.

    Je pourrais écrire pendant des jours tout le mal que je pense de ce jeux mais je vais, par décence m'en tenir au commentaire suivant : Allez chez Bethesda, BioWare, RockStar, EA, Square Enix ou Eidos mais pour votre sanité mentale, tenez-vous loin de Ubisoft...ZZZ...ZZZ...Bug....ZZZ....ZZZ....Bug!    … Expand

    Ghost Recon: Wildlands is one of the worst games imaginable. Without the expansive character customization or the beautiful graphics that this game has, Ghost Recon: Wildlands would not even be worth a 1 star review.

Have you ever got shot through a wall before? Yeah? Well how about an entire mountain? Have enemies ever killed you from someplace where they weren't standing at? Yeah? Well get used to it.    … Expand

    Played every Ghost Recon game since the first one last century. This one is fun, but I bought the season pass and got a bunch of content that was pretty unappealing. Then there's the loot boxes, thanks for that Ubi. Its a lot of fun to play around with a group of friends, but any other game meets this requirement and does it better.

    One more thing... whoever thought that Narco Road was a good idea, needs to be fired and go back to writing content for the Fast and Furious movies. I found that DLC to be borderline offensive. It's a military shooter, but my US Army character is driving sports cars around in races? really? There's suspend disbelief, and then there's stupid. What part of the SOF Q-course do they teach Green Berets to drive sports cars around like Tokyo Drift? Is the course taught at the John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center? Do they take that course before or after they complete their MOS courses? Do they have to apply to be a driver? What happens if the Green Beret is a great soldier but not a very good street driver? Do they give him a waiver or make him get recycled through the Tokyo Drift course until he completes it to a satisfactory level? How does that work? Do they bring in Formula 1 drivers and ex-con street racers to teach Special Operations Forces how to do a wheelie on dirt bikes? What does it even accomplish to be a driver for the Bolivian cartel? you're not gathering intelligence on the management echelon, who would be the ones you would be directed to take down or arrest, so why do it? Did the US Army foot the bill for the street cars? When did they sneak that into the budget that goes before the House Armed Services Committee? How does that get explained when some General in USSOCOM has to parade out during a closed-door session of congress? "We spent 1.37 million of the budget on training SOF forces to drive hot, fast sexy cars. We also used the funds to buy high performance automobiles for the purpose of TAKING DOWN A CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION". That pig ain't gonna fly right and some congressman/woman will freak the f out.

    Ghost Recon: Wildlands is by no means a terrible, or even bad, game: it provides moments of intense fun, particularly with friends, when you're trying to clear out a base without being detected. Yet, it has some serious issues. The A.I. coding is just not good; the huge draw distances causes stutter and screen-tearing on consoles; and even though there is undeniably a lot of content in the form of missions and things to collect, it does become repetitive and dull—just how quickly it becomes a drag depends on your tolerance for walking around and collecting things, I suppose. But if you don't have friends to play with, and you have to rely on boneheaded teammate A.I. to help you fight questionable and irrational enemy A.I., then the game's problems are amplified.

    Basically, Ghost Recon: Wildlands is a good game. It offers you a big wide world with many missions and possibilities. It combines the tactical gameplay we all know and love from other Ghost Recon games, with all of these elements spread out on the beautiful map of Bolivia. But its repetitiveness, forgettable story and the trouble finding a decent team make its problems more obvious than ever.
