    You'll get early access to next months documentary, along with personalized shout-outs, behind the scenes videos and images, and with enough support - I can finally scale back those annoying ads so you guys can tune in and enjoy an uninterrupted experience.
    Thanks for tuning in everyone! I really appreciate the support. As always, this took a ton of time and effort, but I loved every minute of it. There's some games I never even had the chance to play before this project, so it was really cool getting to experience them for the first time. I highly recommend checking out these old games when you have the chance.
    I'd also like to confirm that next month's video will indeed be the entire history of "Call of Duty." So keep your eyes peeled for that coming sometime mid October :) [Because of the extreme amount of time required for this COD project, my review for Breakpoint has been postedponed. Rest assured, I will get to it, but there's 16 COD games, each with multiple extensive modes, so my focus is 100% on that atm]

      @@jasontodd1175 Nostalgia? So let me tell you something about Nostalgia: In order to even attach the term to something it has to be captivating. This is the essence of Nostalgia, a point sealed in time. You know why so many people have "Nostalgia" over this series? Because they were good once upon a time. Many things were good, however that time has ended awhile back. Developers abandoned what made their series so special in order to appeal to more audiences, people who never played the game before. It's good to branch out in ideas but you can't deny that these companies try to cash out on Trends. GTA kinda set the trend for Open World, PUBG set the trend for Battle Royale, the list doesn't stop as there's limitless examples that we can give. It's like majority of them don't care, the only ones that do care is the ones that create new experiences for the rest of us. Something as remarkable as Witcher 3, The Last Of Us, God of War, and etc. These are the type of people that cares for games as a medium not companies like Ubisoft, EA, 2k........

    Future Soldier is one of my favorite games ever honestly. The campaign is awesome, the characters distinct, mechanics and movement are cleaner than every other game in its class and I have no clue how many hours I've spent in that multiplayer, even YEARS after it lost all dev support. It's an amazing title.

      I wonder if people will look back on wildlands and breakpoint eventually the way they do with future soldier now. When GRAW first released, there was a huge portion of people saying they bastardized the series. When future soldier came out a bunch of people were saying they ruined the GR title. It seems like this is the cycle for these games. New game releases, people hate it because it’s different, time passes, people love it

    GRAW was the first FPS game I had played that allowed me to look down and see my body and equipment. The amount of realism in it was also astounding. First person and world view models and animations were shared. If you reload with a bullet in the chamber, you can shoot that bullet while reloading and get a unique reload animation. It's really a stellar game with some good mods.

I’m actually really enjoying the gameplay. The story is horrible, the the new ghost experience update really improved the game. There’s still flaws, but I can look past them now that I don’t have a loot system and gear score. I like how you can tweak everything in the settings for HUD, difficulty, etc. Being able to turn on/off AI teammates is nice. Even if I only use them for a distraction if things go south.

    • @destroystheovik
      @destroystheovik 5 років тому +63

      Yup, that's the sad truth unfortunately. Tom Clancy games used to be top of the line when it came to tactical games. Now they're all fast paced, xray-vision, xp-driven games that require zero attention span with a very small emphasis on actual realism. We went from Ghost Recon 1 actually predicting the Russian invasion of Georgia to Breakpoint where you're fighting some robots on an imaginary island against comic book level villains. 2004-2005 was the peak of Tom Clancy games, and 2008 was the last good year. After that everything has been absolute rubbish. Such a shame.

      I agree tbh. They could’ve just had it where the Division and perhaps a couple of other games were this fast paced Michael Bay shooter games and then have Ghost Recon be this tactical game, to keep everyone happy. But they decided it would be better to abandon uniqueness and make a more open world Call of Duty, since that’s what Wild-lands is, let’s not lie. But I suppose in a way people created it, since everyone liked these Michael Bay explosiony games, so they decided to create something out of Call of Duty Black Ops (the more modern ones), it’s a shame but it was to be expected when everyone clinged to such games

No cutscenes or anything just firefight after firefight made me really immersed into the character

    Ghost Recon (2001, PC) was the first game I've ever played, and still a game I play from time to time in coop with a couple of people. Nothing like it. 18 years have passed, and I've never seen an enemy AI as formidable as those damn ultranationalist Russians... After their decision to consolise the series and pander to the younger console audience, GR stopped being what it was always supposed to be and what the first one truly was, a rival to ARMA (back then, Operation Flashpoint). It's truly sad to see what became of the series.
    Also, anyone remembers how amazing and adrenaline pumping the music used to be? JAG, Stargate and others at the time had similar music style, I don't know what it was, but god damn was it amazing.

      It’s atmosphere is one of the best in any game. There’s no bullshit marvel humor or excessive explosions and action set pieces. It’s very quiet and tense, peppered in with some of the most intense shootouts you can possibly engage in in a game. It’s also eerie when a distant squad member kills an enemy and whispers “goodbye” into the radio. Despite the limited graphics, Redstorm did everything in its power to make Ghost Recon as intense and atmospheric as possible. 10/10 game.

  • @Inkadu4You
    @Inkadu4You 5 років тому +14

    My Top 3
    1. GR Wildlands - massively underrated game of the year in 2017. I’m a big fan of the cartel narrative and taking down the organization like a real agent, this game also came out during the Netflix show Narcos in full swing and with El Chapo in the news this game felt so relative. Unfortunately BreakPoint doesn’t have the same charm and is not as interesting imo. Also the crossovers with siege, splinter cell, predator, witches, yeti, etc.. this game was truly special. Ghost War was very fun to play as well and the devs always listened to the audience to what needed to be added and changed.
    2. GR Future Solider - This was awesome when it came out in 2012 another underrated game for that year. The campaign, the change in style, the graphics, details, gadgets, stealth, the overall feeling of this game was truly an epic experience. You truly felt like a super badass secret squad. I don’t remember much of the PvP in this game but I do remember it being fun the first initial times playing it.
    3. GRAW 2 - Just a classic game in the series. My first real experience of online Xbox back in those days. I’ll always remember how real and fun it was to be in a squad with your buddies playing PvP and you’d be talking and all of a sudden you couldn’t hear your friend on the mic because he got killed and went into the death chat - those were good times before party chat killed game chat.

  • @derp3305

    I like Red Storm Entertainment version of Ghost Recon. Tactical gameplay with cover mechanics with squad commands is the perfect idea on paper, but sadly they want to make a casual experience. Proof of this, GR: Break point has microtransactions on gear, in order to force players to skip the grind fest due to its The Division looter shooter, and its RPG lite elements.

    Great video. The past games used to be very tactical like the old Rainbow Six games - shoutout to Raven Shield. But now it's just an open world third person shooter. Wildlands is not tactical at all despite what people say. You can run n gun with no planning whatsoever. Switching off your hud doesn't change that. If Wildlands is a tactical shooter, then Call of Duty is a tactical shooter. Breakpoint looks like more of the same with looting involved.

      With the harder difficulties enabled, you're forced to use stealth almost completely. If anything.. the series used to feature MORE run-and-gun than it does now. Ghost recon 2 for example, plays a lot more like a Call of Duty game than wildlands does.

    I LOVED that first Ghost Recon. Loved the RPG element, as a young kid I genuinely cared about my squad members and hated when they permanently died

    Future soldier was my first ghost game I ever played and it was great. After watching previous ghost games gameplays I think they’re great too. Played wildlands and it was okay and multiplayer was kind of suck imo. Prefer future soldier multiplayer and the free to play on steam. Break point is quite similar to wildlands with a bit of enhancements. But I guess I wont buying the game unless it goes on sale 🙄

    I played around 500 hours of Wildlands and to this day, I can’t decide whether it’s a good Ghost Recon game. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good game, but I don’t think it’s a good Ghost Recon game. It feels more like Far Cry in 3rd person rather than a tactical military shooter, with a heavy emphasis on strategy. And I find it extremely immersion-breaking when some guys join my match dressed as cow-boy pirates or hillbillies, rushing into a base without thought, and getting downed several seconds later, only for them to blame me for not having their six. “Well, if you don’t like coop, then don’t play it in coop”. So you’re blaming me for trying to play the game, the way the developers meant it to be played? Well excuse me.

      I like to think of it as the "Sicario" game we never received. Less Ghost Recon, definitely agree.

      I feel the same, I completed woodlands to 100% over a few month, playing all of it co op on xbox live.
      Its the best co op experience ive ever had.
      I wish the would stop the RPG, micro transactions and Hollywood stories, bring it back a bit.
      And stay away from future tech, future stories etc, with drones and all that crap.

    I started on ghost recon. But The open world style of woodlands and break point are my favorite. It give you a feel like your actually out there.

    Ghost recon relies on the selling point that you will feel like a badass 100% of the time
