Sorry, no! I didn't like your video! I found most of it to be nitpicking and your personal opinion rather useful information! The game isn't even out yet and your opinion sounds like a review of the full game(gr breakpoint of course.) I've played every ghost recon game and I've enjoyed all of them, i have a personal reverence for the series. Unlike a lot of these other guys, most Ubisoft games aren't garbage imo. Does Ubisoft have a few flukes? Sure. But what game company doesn't? When it comes to new games, it is EA that i'm most hesitant about.
Skill Up the first 10-15 minutes were great, I was sneaking around trying to avoid detection while trying to take out the guys looking for survivors. It felt like splinter cell. After I reached the safe house, I lost interest quickly. I don’t want to play Division in the woods
@@proassassin8473 angry joe has video about it and his opinion about this game is quote "meh out of 10" barely anything has been said about it's loot circus. Guess angry joe is not so angry anymore.
Remember when 4 years ago, MGS5 had a simple--yet effective--system for alerted guards? The radio calls, the change of patrol routes; reinforcements who'd come in when a flare would go screaming out in the night sky. When a game about giant death-mechs and weird zombie-magic and whatever else was going on, has more tactical realism in it than a game that's touting its tactical realism origins, it really makes ya wonder.
Completely agree! When Breakpoint came up I was lamenting the loss of the Ghost Recon franchise as a reliable source of tactical shooter gameplay. Thought to myself: What could I turn to now? And oddly I had never looked at MGS5 this way, I just took it for granted, but you are completely right in that it has far better systems and does what I wish Ghost Recon would! Sad to say that MGS is just as dead though, but it is still fun to come back to MGS5 for its gameplay.
Can be mgs v played in a realistic way without stupid sounds stupid baloons women dressing like their body needs to be objectified and trash for masses like call of duty or other steam rolling like today we see practically everywhwre in the world abusing superficializatio of anything or actually mgs v has forced HUD and also silly things forcefully included in player 'choice'?
@@DNH17 Eh, sort of. The "stupid balloons" are based on actual Cold War technology that worked a couple of times, so it's not like it's a ridiculous idea, but you do need to use them if you don't want to be carrying everyone to your helicopter, or if you want to extract equipment or vehicles. As for "women dressing like their body needs to be objectified", there's only one that dresses like that, and she's a mostly optional companion, so you're not forced to work with her if you don't want to. Not sure about the HUD, but msg 5 does have the industry standard 'marking' system for enemies. Overall, there is a lot of freedom in how you can approach the game most of the time, but it's not a fundamentally "realistic" game, nor is it striving to be.
Breakpoint logic: You're an elite soldier that is stranded on an island that's roaming with lethal drones and a rogue private army. You have no contact with the outside world and no backup, no reinforcements, no cavalry coming to the rescue. Here. You can fully kit out with the latest gear money can buy...
Open Beta. They gave you a ton of cash on purpose, and it's kind of a technology corporation on that island so it'd make sense they either got it from Skell Tech or the Wolves
@@spencer188123456 Yes. Nothing wrong with that. But if you're trying to sell a game as a "Survival Shooter", maybe incorporate elements of survival? Scarce resources, no auto healing, you use refurbished weapons and only the enemies have top grade weapons, hunger and sleep will have significant impact on physical performance, foraging the forest or hunting to get food... This looks like another Borderlands games.
@@chavezchavo I mean, it's 2030 on a highly advanced technological island with a militia that has good weaponry. You'd probably take one of their firearms, don't you think?
@@GheeseEmpty Militia? With the array of arms you can choose, that "militia" looks a whole lot more like another Private Military Company. Only difference is that they don't have Jon Brenthal on their side.
Bobby Digital yeah those are visual facts that you are playing a beta. These are not facts to back up an opinion that the game is bad. You do t like the hub because it’s bait for micro trans...OPINION. You think having no AI team makes game worse...OPINION. You feel like one cutscene from a FICTONAL story takes away from the immersion of the entire game....OPINION. Using video evidence does not make opinions fact.
@@loomynarty4099 I know right ? What was that ? I honestly need somebody to explain to me ,m'kay ,what in the holy Chicken McFuckets was THAT? Just bloody awful.
Loomy Narty I know right?? Nomad didn’t even save anyone, just survive the crash by pure luck, and the “superpower” is just some damn drone which shouldn’t even come as a surprise for someone like Nomad 😂😂😂
They rarely do real betas anymore. Most "betas" these days are just basically what you would have called a preview demo back in the old days, lol. It's all marketing terms trying to re-define shit as opposed to the actual technical definitions the terms previously had throughout the software development industry in general.
right !?!? betas used to be 4-6 mos out at least so there was still time to fix things and stay on schedule . these are basically demos at this point .
Anytime anyone complains about a beta, everyone shouts them down with “It’s a Beta!!!!! Everything will be improved!! Gawwwd!!! If you’re not going to say anything nice don’t say anything”
The thing that captivated me the most about Breakpoint was, in the trailer, there was this huge theme of "you're being hunted." That to me just seemed so exciting and it made the impression that the game would be super immersive and difficult. Especially with how the trailers went on and on about how technologically advanced Skell tech is and blah blah blah. But once I played the beta (closed on ps4 and open on PC), both times felt the same. It felt bland and it makes me really sad to admit that. I don't like the gear level system, as well as the in-game economy. I mean, I'm trapped on an island with no help but I can buy a helicopter from some random homesteaders who are super scared because they're always on the brink of being discovered? The game feels super off. And it makes me sad.
I really loved Wildlands and this is just a huge let down for me. The loot system, shitty storyline, horrid AI, it goes on and on. It legit feels like the division to me with a different control scheme. The movement in this game felt super stiff and wonky and the cover setup sucked too. In no part did I ever feel like i was hunted at all, even with the overhead random plane flying over me. What you said though really resonated with me, trapped on this island yet somehow you can call in for a chopper drop off lol.
Nobody is forcing you to "buy" a helicopter, play the game how you want in a way you enjoy it, even those "high" tier wolves on the first mission were easy to one shot with an ilvl 1 gun, there's things this content creator is complaining about not being in this game that actually are, sync shot for instance... there is literally a skill in the skill tree that unlocks a drone to do that, perks for gear that you can unlock.... if he actually spent time getting his facts this review would actually be relevant instead of being click bait
@@juliomaldonado4028 to be fair preordering a game should be obliterated completely so should reviews on beta's I mean content creators should be allowed early access to a game, finish the game then review it, but to upload a "review" before the game is launched is just BS imho
Yep, the ability to buy a helo, or to just leave the island on a boat is ridiculous, as is the fact that like 90% of the inhabitants are unharmed and still just doing their jobs. I definitely felt like I was being hunted though, because as soon as an enemy even suspects my presence, the entire 30 or so strong base of them knows my exact location and b-lines it towards that location, or how every single enemy vehicle on the road felt like it needs to be hidden from.
"Ok, this voice acting reminds me of something, it's not that terrible but I can't help but feel like I've heard this before-' 'I DID NAUGHT HIT HER!' 'Ah, there it is.'
@HORSE SIX ZERO You still haven't refuted any of Skill Up's points. All you implied is that normal difficulty is broken but extreme is very hard thus the game is good and this channel gets the review fully wrong. I'm interested in your review if you say things like this, what's the truth?
@@kristofnagy1373 Of course he hasn't, his opinion differs and he likes it that way. AI should always react at least in a coherent fashion and difficulty is not the only factor to consider. Just crank up the dmg values, there you go, HARD.
@HORSE SIX ZERO "The Extreme Difficulty in Breakpoint, makes the Extreme Difficulty in Wildlands look like a fuckin cake walk." Sam Fisher in Ghost mode (Extreme Difficulty) would like to have a conversation with you, please don't bring in your HUDs, AI Teammates and Rebel reinforcement whatsoever.
I loved wildlands so much, and I was looking forward to this. Then they announced the looter shit, I lost any hope I had. Then I tried the beta.. I just wanna cry
I'm with ya man. I platinum trophy'd Wildlands... I'm not gonna aget this, maybe eone day I'll finish my second character on Wildlands. What a let down this game looks.
Devs: We need more time to make a decent game. Management: No, it can be a shitty game and idiots will still buy it. Worry about making more micro transaction skins!!!
unfortunately i'm one of those idiots... i was duped by how the amazing the graphics looked when they announced the game. i should have known that ubisoft was gonna downgrade
Even the marketing team have only seen the design summary written three years ago, which is why they keep describing a game nothing like the one we're playing.
@@RsC0FrankieRebel read the rest of the comment. Just a regular dev here, not video games. We communicate a lot. Any product we make without proper communication ends up as a broken piece of shit. Proper communication is often times far more important than our individual coding skills.
Thats how Ubisoft actually develops their games nowadays. They have studios all over the world and all of them work on certain elements for several AAA projects all the time. Their games are being made like their main teams like one in Montreal pitches something while using their certain designed template(Big empty open world,shitty skill trees with useless stuff and RPG like elements that make no sense in certain genres, tons of garbage to collect and their famous towers are just examples keep in mind that almost ALL of those elements are part of their AAA titles for almost an decade now) and other studios just work on certain elements of those games. Its not that the game just feels like it was made like that - it actually was developed like that my dude lol..
Mass Effect Andromeda had some godawful facial animations as well as some passable ones, whereas Ghost Recon Breakpoint just looks consistently bad. And at least Andromeda had some sense of wonder, humanity and vision scattered amongst the mediocrity, plus some solid combat; this just looks bad and devoid of any soul whatsoever. Ghost Recon Wildlands looks SO much worse than Andromeda to me.

Thank you. I'm so sick of people blindly defending this when it's barely even mediocre. Yet another open world, looter shooter clone made to sell micro-transactions. It'd be almost okay if the game wasn't laughable.
Can't even believe they somehow thought that combining Wildlands with division is a good idea. The only reason some of us are so dedicated to Wildlands is because of the setting. Also it wasn't self serious, I mean the most words out of your mouth are shitballs and Fuck fuck fuck
@@kd7087 Exactly. It's the same shit that happened with Far Cry 5. I loved Wildlands for the general setting and ability to accomplish certain tasks was based on being able to master the mechanics. Far Cry 5 I loved because it was a setting where I could just fuck everyone up. They screwed both by adding those stupid RPG lite mechanics and forcing in systems that have no business being in these series. I'm so disappointed.
I played the beta and some of the glitches were funny BUT the gameplay, combat, missions are just boring bland even worse than wildlands with needless rpg looter shooter mechanics. The whole time i played i was bored.
Darn, I need more noobs to buy this game though so I can smack them in ghost war and make my stats look PRO BRO!!! Otherwise the game is going to be full of people who actually know a good shooter when they see one.
Chris Benn everyone encompasses 100%. I am saying this game is not pure trash, therefore your theory of “everyone thinks it’s pure trash” is incorrect. I assure you many people enjoyed the game.
Wildlands was, eh. Lacking in a lot of areas, one of them was the setting, Breakpoint has an infinitely more enjoyable setting, but maybe that's just me, empty forests, vast plains of desert etc are just not appealing. The modern architecture of New Argyll and some other Skell facilities are what captivated me in Breakpoint. But yes, with some slight changes to gameplay systems and more polish in mechanics, Wildlands could've been incredible.
Wildlands was a pie with too many ingredients.. If I had the power all I had to do was strip it down.. Ofcourse a few changes would had to be made but the potential was there.. I miss the old games where its just you and your weapons.. Not over the top gadgets and boring gimmicks
Ubisoft officially killed my favorite third person military shooter of all time with their lust for always online MTX-based trash. Future Soldier (coop campaign) was the last GR game worth anything for me. RIP Ghost Recon.

@@peacelove6455 I've been neck-deep in my backlog recently and haven't been up to date on all this stuff - especially considering that said backlog also features Wildlands.
@@PenguinDT yeah they said no team because it doesn't fit the story BUT you could play with friends if you wanted to in a co-op experience but then everyone got angry and was like 'Oh i want a team" and ubisoft returned with "well we can't add it quickly but we will put it in there later since you asked". It was never supposed to be in the game because of story reasons with the wildlands team
I agree but I think AC: Origins and AC: Odyssey were fantastic (and a few exceptions). I've never seen an RPG with so many unique quests before. I really wish they would overhaul MMOs like WoW based on their model, i.e. go from "kill 10 mobs, then kill 10 mobs, then kill 10 mobs" to what Origins and Odyssey did. It would make questing and leveling up a pleasure instead of a grind.
@@benjaminallen6469 Origins and Odyssey are good games but not AC games. Ubisoft just rips the essence and core design of each of their IPs and homogenized them. Breakpoint, wildlands, division, watch dogs, far cry, assassins creed... they are the same game over and over again.
@@benjaminallen6469 I thought Origins' side quests were kinda repetitive, like go to that camp and free the prisoner, haven't played it in a while so maybe I'm wrong :D Edit: or are you talking about main quests?

@@ashb7 Highly unlikely that most of the budget went to him, but you know he still got a HELL of a payday. Did you see the open beta video with him hyping the game? He was almost laughing and he called it "Aurora". He probably just shows up at the studio to do his plugs and voice work, then goes about his day not knowing anything about or giving one single **** about GR. That's how it goes. The editors probably didn't want to push him to do another take so they said **** it. "Cut, print". He got paid well. Believe it. It's clear they cut a lot of corners and his presence is supposed to somehow scaffold it all into something cohesive? Maybe this will work better than Kevin Spacey in Advanced Warfare.
8e6 of course he got paid, that’s the new trend, I personally absolve them of blame tho because you know it’s good they’re in the industry but it’s just a shame the actual suits and developers are letting them down, this, advanced warfare (the worst cod ever imo) and of course the ever present NBA2K, but I honesty feel bad for the actors as it’s sad their names have to be associated with scummy, cheap and general fuckwits that run the companies nowadays 😖

I think I'm gonna start calling them Committee games. Games don't have directors with a vision anymore. Games have directors that act as middle men or bargainers between publishers and developers.
It's easy to think the only members of "design committees" are these groups you guys are mentioning, but gamers themselves are just as influential on these games. Look at Division 2 for example.
@@EscapeCondition tbh Ubisoft pretty much design games for people who don't really care about games at all. They are multi million dollar time wasters you're supposed to plop in after work for a cheap distraction.

Great stories? Well imagined characters that are engaging and you want to learn about, or failing that the world itself having those qualities. As soon as you see gameplay of most of these games they just feel soulless

To answer your question "why?": Ubisoft is the King of cookie cutter game design. On the rare occasion that they try something new and people like it; they take it as "Ah, so you want this in every game you play no matter the genre. Got it" Far Cry, AC and GR all got turned into rpgs after AC: Origins sold well. "If they liked it in one game, lets put it in every game."

Miss the good ol days where I didn't have to swap out my gear 10 times an hour, couldn't they just level up the weapon instead of finding an 'upgrade' after every encounter.
IRL weapons don't level up aside from putting on better attachments. They should have went with a degradation system that required the weapon to be maintained in camp or risk failures/jams, the most severe of which would necessitate picking up dropped/found weapons.
@@wighty5860 I like that idea, would make grabbing new weapons worth it if the current one starts to jam or become more inaccurate over time without maintaining it. Would make finding a PX4 with more stopping power than a Deagle logical if the Deagle is degraded.
Three of us all cancelled pre orders on this after the closed beta. We spent more time in menus looking at gear/loot, of searching locations looking for gear, than we did in firefights or playing objectives. The gearscore mechanic sucks. We were all looking forward to this after Wildlands, but it's a major step down. No tah.
Played the closed beta... couldn't believe how "pre-pre-alfa-ish" it felt! Defo not a safe release purchase, people. Needs like a year or so of patches and fixes

Ubisoft paying far to much for there “influencers” and average actors, and it shows they focused way more on promoting this trash then any actual fan service and staying true to the series....hard pass

Spent an hour trying to get back into the game and I haven't any luck. The other stuff doesn't bother me this always online stuff does.

Hell Yea, I Was fan of Future Soldier, but Wildlands was ok too ( i beat it twice Solo and Coop with friend) but now - Breakpoint - I don't like it - i played Closed Alpha, Closed Beta, And Open beta - I didn't like any of these
@@OpenWorldGamer- wildlands was kind of a sleeper hit and while it deviated from the hardcore tactical stealth etc they still had enough of that to be enjoyable for people that like milsims..this on the other hand is like the division and from watching this vid has a lot of BS that shouldn't even be in a ghost recon game in the first place. I liked Wildlands but i'm on the fence on breakpoint for now.
Pretty much every Ubi game this generation has been always online which is totally gob shite imo: Slow rendering items menus that are worse to go through than the Playstation store, pointless connectivity issues in single player games and random players and world events constantly taking you out of the immersion. Some games even seem to be entirely streaming off some server since the controls have odd input lag.
I seriously LOVED Wildlands and when this game was announced I couldn’t help, but we HYPED, but now I’m just disappointed. They took out everything that I loved about Wildlands and inserted a bunch of shit. I guess I’ll just get The Outter Worlds instead.
I love you and you deserve love and respect. there is no shame in seeking therapy, even diamonds were lumps of coal before superman place that coal between his muscular kryptonian buttcheeks to squeeze that coal into a beautiful diamond.
I drew the line in the sand a couple years ago: If your game has or I suspect it might eventually have loot boxes, I will not buy it. Words to live by, in my opinion.
@@WookieWarriorz When did he say that, and why are you so quick to condemn violence against Nazis? Answer in that order, please. And don't tell me you're talking about his Wolfenstein review.
I played Wildlands quite a lot and i had no idea that it was getting a sequel. This shit came out of nowhere and it certainly explains its state. Then again. Ubisoft has been getting lazy with each new title. Siege was a fucking fluke and they monetized the fuck out of that too.
I’ve played the beta and it’s absolutely boring. Only fun for an hour an gets tedious real quick especially the god awful AI. I don’t know what it is with Ubisoft games but their a.i are atrocious in many of their games.
It got a lot of flack at the time, but in hindsight it was incredible compared to this garbage. GR:AW 2 was actually pretty brilliant and I really enjoyed Future Soldier. I'd love nothing more than to have a legit GR experience again, but this game looks like a total lost cause, which is really sad.
@@XCHECK Yeah kind of my point really. I still have the CD ROM for the original GR xD. Myself and a few buddies used to play as snipers on the big open forest map. Last man standing (or lying down lol) wins. Would sometimes hear a shot followed by "oh, that was just a bush". xD
Being completely aware of GR: Wildlands' reception and perception, it was by far one of my favorite games I've ever played. I loved everything about the world, story, the stealth, the tactics, so much of it. It was the only game I've ever platinum on PS4, and I got it AGAIN on PC (when it was basically on a super sale) and finished the game again. I love that game to death, and watching this video breaks my heart By itself, the fact that the drones exist to just be the bullet sponge of the game and the drones to force a stop in gameplay lest you give up the stealth you put so much effort maintaining destroys me. The everything else just hurts me. I was feeling abrasive but hopeful, but now my hope is shattered...
Same here, GRB is such a huge step backwards from what made GRW (to me anyway) a truly fun game to play. GRW was immersive, it was challenging, and the Ghost Mode was a whole new level of fun. GRB is just a hot colluge mess of Division, Far Cry, and crap all rolled into one.
@@JumpingJack6 i found wildlands to be just boring. I feel, from playing breakpoint, they attempted to do so much customization that there is no real identity for it although i have found jacking this game up to its hardest possible difficulty and settings that it enjoy
I remember when Wildlands launched, some people were complaining that they wanted to specialize their characters more, they wanted more unique weapons to use, they wanted to play alone, stuff like that. Apparently they tried to appeal to those players. While I generally enjoy Breakpoint, I have to agree that many of these new additions were useless or confusing. They later added many community-requested features to Wildlands, why couldn't they do that here? Listen to the community first and then decide what to add?
Honestly, sometimes I think that the communities themselves don't always know what they want. The biggest problem that modern games are lacking is vision in storytelling. Most people would agree that Far Cry 3 had the best villain in the franchise, Vaas. Most people would agree that Ezio is the best protagonist in the AC franchise. Most agree that Chaos Theory was the best Splinter Cell game. And some say that Ghost Recon was strongest with Advanced Warfighter, because it nailed the tactical futuristic military shooter theme the franchise was going for. These four major Ubisoft franchises haven't made a game that could surpass their main champions for over 5-10 years now, even though they have released games almost yearly. Graphical and gameplay standpoint, all the new games are mostly superior to the old ones I mentioned, so the issue lies somewhere else. And that is a clear vision, a story or a soul, if you will. And for the past 5-10 years the Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, Ghost Recon and Splinter Cell franchises have become more and more hollow, because Ubisoft no longer focuses on delivering good story and delicate world-building, just more open-world features and monetization schemes.
Dude fucking same. Im so sad i loved wildlands and wanted this to be wildlands but better but sadly i was mistaken. They could have literally just reskined wildlands and it would have been better than this and i would have enjoyed it more.
@@hydrasoulz959 Yo, they kind of did, there's stuff added, some stuff missing for sure, but if you can navigate the curve that is the confusing design around the core staple formula...it is Wildlands 2. At least I played it that way for something like 11 hours yesterday alone, it's in there. I suggest if you paid for it, try just matchmaking and picking a base. I agree wildlands was tighter experience, but that if you're looking for more, the biggest drawback to Breakpoint for that, would be that they bury it so much it feels absent until you're in a squad, roaming around, where, eventually, you start to notice, oh shit that's a resource truck mission next to me, there's collectable attatchments, hey save the hostage, escort so and so, all the emergent fun stuff from Wildlands is in here, just doled out to the player in a way that is very overly complicated to a fault. Look past that, I would say you haven't wasted your money just yet, if you dip back in and manage to dig the Wildlands out of it. At least, as a day one-til-breakpoint player, this is how I feel about it, which is generally positive.
totty dude I actually listened to you and downloaded it again and tried the co-op mode and yes it there as you said, just takes so long to identify. Yes it’s there but.... I still really enjoyed the Wildlands experience compared to this. Because of YOU... I tried it again thanks man
@@LeonardTaylor700 awesome! I am actually very happy you found some fun and I hope.gamers can in general.give things more.tha. one shot and discuss stuff like this w without the need for.a soapbox. Cheers dude.
@@br8y693 It has levelled gear. It's the division. The game is ruined. Plus $120 for the ultimate wtf is Ubisoft thinking these days and it will be riddled with microtransactions.
Gus Grime what was wrong with Wildlands original loot system. Why a gearscore? There’s no gearscore in tacticals. Gearscores arefor loot based RPGs that heavily rely on perfected stats. Wildlands and ALL ghost recons prior were NEVER stat reliant. You’re brain dead and fell right into the cash grabbing hype. 😘. You’re so dreamy
I played the closed Alpha, not impressed, played the closed beta, not impressed, played open beta... yup still the same result. The game blows. It wasn’t dev’d by Ubisoft Paris (the guys who did Wildlands). They literally hashed together a Division loot based system and put it inside shell of an alpha build reskinned version of Wildlands.
Gus Grime you’re still NOT listening. Yes it IS the division. There ARE bullet spongey enemies (ROBOTS) yes you WILL drop mag after mag into an enemy (ROBOTS). Why the fuck is here a “RAID” in a tactical shooter?! This is the division with a one shot headshot mechanic. You sir are lying, lying to yourself that this game is amazeballs. Ever notice the heavy amount of marketing that is being spent on this game? 🤔 ever notice every COD that marketed heavily was trash? Ever notice a trend in the gaming industry? A heavily marketed game ends up being hated by the majority. There’s a reason the “influencers” of UA-cam are being PAID to play the game. Skillup wasn’t sponsored. Because he has an honest opinion. Open your eyes and start using that brain of yours. Take a marketing class actually and you’ll understand. It’s truly a simple concept that obviously is lost on you lmfao
It's a couple of years later since release and they have added a slew of gameplay modifiers. You can tailor the game so that it plays a bit more like Wildlands. But still, it doesn't have the character of Wildlands. I've slugged through the main storyline and I think 2 of 3 of the DLC missions. It's plainly "okay" now but it still couldn't top Wildlands.
AI teammates are only coming because we complained. They tried to tell us that they didn't include them originally because they wanted us to feel isolated. Then we see the social hub and the fact that there's 4 player coop. Liars...
Its really not pretty. Close up a lot of the mountains are giant polygons even on the highest graphic settings. The character models vary greatly depending on how important of a character they belong to, the animations are terrible, and a lot of them are just reused from wildlands. The grass and plants sway around like there is a fucking tornado ripping through the entire island but is never affects anything but them. The level design is extremely odd, for example there is a bridge by a large port where for some reason the road shoots out at an angle and there is no railing. Its very convenient from a game play perspective as it allows you to get on the bridge easier, but it make no logical sense at all. Why would anyone build that extension to a road, with no railing, leading into a ditch next to a mountain? Its just lazy development. They could have created some damaged railing which would have at least made sense. I think if wildlands didn't exist they might have gotten away with it, but compared to the last game in the series which came out 2 years ago it seems to be a downgrade in every way (besides possibly the potential for micro-transactions).
You very well captured my feeling playing all the beta. What I understand is how nobody from management at Ubi was able to see this. From technical beta 4 months ago, everything you said was already obvious. Like you said, any average gamer playing the game 10 minutes could see those flaw. The empty lifeless world was so astonishing that I thought they hadn't put the content in at first.

Sorry, no! I didn't like your video! I found most of it to be nitpicking and your personal opinion rather useful information! The game isn't even out yet and your opinion sounds like a review of the full game(gr breakpoint of course.) I've played every ghost recon game and I've enjoyed all of them, i have a personal reverence for the series. Unlike a lot of these other guys, most Ubisoft games aren't garbage imo. Does Ubisoft have a few flukes? Sure. But what game company doesn't? When it comes to new games, it is EA that i'm most hesitant about.
Skill Up the first 10-15 minutes were great, I was sneaking around trying to avoid detection while trying to take out the guys looking for survivors. It felt like splinter cell. After I reached the safe house, I lost interest quickly. I don’t want to play Division in the woods

You kind friend make a lot of assumptions how do you know they were buddies?
Remember when 4 years ago, MGS5 had a simple--yet effective--system for alerted guards? The radio calls, the change of patrol routes; reinforcements who'd come in when a flare would go screaming out in the night sky. When a game about giant death-mechs and weird zombie-magic and whatever else was going on, has more tactical realism in it than a game that's touting its tactical realism origins, it really makes ya wonder.
Completely agree! When Breakpoint came up I was lamenting the loss of the Ghost Recon franchise as a reliable source of tactical shooter gameplay. Thought to myself: What could I turn to now? And oddly I had never looked at MGS5 this way, I just took it for granted, but you are completely right in that it has far better systems and does what I wish Ghost Recon would! Sad to say that MGS is just as dead though, but it is still fun to come back to MGS5 for its gameplay.
Can be mgs v played in a realistic way without stupid sounds stupid baloons women dressing like their body needs to be objectified and trash for masses like call of duty or other steam rolling like today we see practically everywhwre in the world abusing superficializatio of anything or actually mgs v has forced HUD and also silly things forcefully included in player 'choice'?
@@DNH17 Eh, sort of. The "stupid balloons" are based on actual Cold War technology that worked a couple of times, so it's not like it's a ridiculous idea, but you do need to use them if you don't want to be carrying everyone to your helicopter, or if you want to extract equipment or vehicles. As for "women dressing like their body needs to be objectified", there's only one that dresses like that, and she's a mostly optional companion, so you're not forced to work with her if you don't want to. Not sure about the HUD, but msg 5 does have the industry standard 'marking' system for enemies. Overall, there is a lot of freedom in how you can approach the game most of the time, but it's not a fundamentally "realistic" game, nor is it striving to be.
@@DNH17 You know you could turn the hud off right?
@@BullFrogFace i dnt know, apparently they say above that not all can be turned off... plus there are must like enemy marking or baloons...
Breakpoint logic: You're an elite soldier that is stranded on an island that's roaming with lethal drones and a rogue private army. You have no contact with the outside world and no backup, no reinforcements, no cavalry coming to the rescue.
Here. You can fully kit out with the latest gear money can buy...
Open Beta. They gave you a ton of cash on purpose, and it's kind of a technology corporation on that island so it'd make sense they either got it from Skell Tech or the Wolves
alot of games do that lol
@@spencer188123456 Yes. Nothing wrong with that. But if you're trying to sell a game as a "Survival Shooter", maybe incorporate elements of survival? Scarce resources, no auto healing, you use refurbished weapons and only the enemies have top grade weapons, hunger and sleep will have significant impact on physical performance, foraging the forest or hunting to get food...

They rarely do real betas anymore. Most "betas" these days are just basically what you would have called a preview demo back in the old days, lol. It's all marketing terms trying to re-define shit as opposed to the actual technical definitions the terms previously had throughout the software development industry in general.

"back in my day"
Anytime anyone complains about a beta, everyone shouts them down with “It’s a Beta!!!!! Everything will be improved!! Gawwwd!!! If you’re not going to say anything nice don’t say anything”
The thing that captivated me the most about Breakpoint was, in the trailer, there was this huge theme of "you're being hunted." That to me just seemed so exciting and it made the impression that the game would be super immersive and difficult. Especially with how the trailers went on and on about how technologically advanced Skell tech is and blah blah blah. But once I played the beta (closed on ps4 and open on PC), both times felt the same. It felt bland and it makes me really sad to admit that. I don't like the gear level system, as well as the in-game economy. I mean, I'm trapped on an island with no help but I can buy a helicopter from some random homesteaders who are super scared because they're always on the brink of being discovered? The game feels super off. And it makes me sad.
I really loved Wildlands and this is just a huge let down for me. The loot system, shitty storyline, horrid AI, it goes on and on. It legit feels like the division to me with a different control scheme. The movement in this game felt super stiff and wonky and the cover setup sucked too. In no part did I ever feel like i was hunted at all, even with the overhead random plane flying over me. What you said though really resonated with me, trapped on this island yet somehow you can call in for a chopper drop off lol.
Nobody is forcing you to "buy" a helicopter, play the game how you want in a way you enjoy it, even those "high" tier wolves on the first mission were easy to one shot with an ilvl 1 gun, there's things this content creator is complaining about not being in this game that actually are, sync shot for instance... there is literally a skill in the skill tree that unlocks a drone to do that, perks for gear that you can unlock.... if he actually spent time getting his facts this review would actually be relevant instead of being click bait
This post needs more likes. Everything you just said, I feel just about the same way. I cancelled my oreorder.
@@juliomaldonado4028 to be fair preordering a game should be obliterated completely so should reviews on beta's I mean content creators should be allowed early access to a game, finish the game then review it, but to upload a "review" before the game is launched is just BS imho
Yep, the ability to buy a helo, or to just leave the island on a boat is ridiculous, as is the fact that like 90% of the inhabitants are unharmed and still just doing their jobs.
I definitely felt like I was being hunted though, because as soon as an enemy even suspects my presence, the entire 30 or so strong base of them knows my exact location and b-lines it towards that location, or how every single enemy vehicle on the road felt like it needs to be hidden from.

Thats how Ubisoft actually develops their games nowadays. They have studios all over the world and all of them work on certain elements for several AAA projects all the time. Their games are being made like their main teams like one in Montreal pitches something while using their certain designed template(Big empty open world,shitty skill trees with useless stuff and RPG like elements that make no sense in certain genres, tons of garbage to collect and their famous towers are just examples keep in mind that almost ALL of those elements are part of their AAA titles for almost an decade now) and other studios just work on certain elements of those games. Its not that the game just feels like it was made like that - it actually was developed like that my dude lol..
Thats how Fallout 76 was developed.
"my face is tired" mass effect or tom clancy's breakpoint Im not sure anymore
Trash of that caliber can only be achieved by EA. Ubisoft has a whole mountain of problems but EA has a fucking planet.
Mass Effect Andromeda had some godawful facial animations as well as some passable ones, whereas Ghost Recon Breakpoint just looks consistently bad. And at least Andromeda had some sense of wonder, humanity and vision scattered amongst the mediocrity, plus some solid combat; this just looks bad and devoid of any soul whatsoever.
Ghost Recon Wildlands looks SO much worse than Andromeda to me.

Lacking in a lot of areas, one of them was the setting, Breakpoint has an infinitely more enjoyable setting, but maybe that's just me, empty forests, vast plains of desert etc are just not appealing. The modern architecture of New Argyll and some other Skell facilities are what captivated me in Breakpoint. But yes, with some slight changes to gameplay systems and more polish in mechanics, Wildlands could've been incredible.
This is a downgrade for sure
Wildlands was a pie with too many ingredients.. If I had the power all I had to do was strip it down.. Ofcourse a few changes would had to be made but the potential was there.. I miss the old games where its just you and your weapons.. Not over the top gadgets and boring gimmicks

Not much about their specific skillsets or even background for many exist from Tom. None the less he did create their names/nations etc.
@MH6/PILOT (not all about half the operators have Clancy roots)
the thing is that a hardcore survival shooter is a niche audience that isn't on console. that's why 99% of them are on PC
Another weird thing is that after the first mission you get access to the final boss battle so you can ultimately do the final mission straight away.
I guess most of the money for making this game went to Jon Bernthal.
Eh, I doubt it. Plenty of AAA games have big-name actors and manage to not be this broken, and while Bernthal is a great actor he's nowhere close to Hollywood A-list.
@@ashb7 Highly unlikely that most of the budget went to him, but you know he still got a HELL of a payday. Did you see the open beta video with him hyping the game? He was almost laughing and he called it "Aurora". He probably just shows up at the studio to do his plugs and voice work, then goes about his day not knowing anything about or giving one single **** about GR. That's how it goes. The editors probably didn't want to push him to do another take so they said **** it. "Cut, print". He got paid well. Believe it. It's clear they cut a lot of corners and his presence is supposed to somehow scaffold it all into something cohesive? Maybe this will work better than Kevin Spacey in Advanced Warfare.
8e6 of course he got paid, that’s the new trend, I personally absolve them of blame tho because you know it’s good they’re in the industry but it’s just a shame the actual suits and developers are letting them down, this, advanced warfare (the worst cod ever imo) and of course the ever present NBA2K, but I honesty feel bad for the actors as it’s sad their names have to be associated with scummy, cheap and general fuckwits that run the companies nowadays 😖

Honestly can we think of a few games that have come out from aaa that has a defined reason to exist besides profit? where’s the innovation? Great stories? Well imagined characters that are engaging and you want to learn about, or failing that the world itself having those qualities.

To answer your question "why?": Ubisoft is the King of cookie cutter game design. On the rare occasion that they try something new and people like it; they take it as "Ah, so you want this in every game you play no matter the genre. Got it" Far Cry, AC and GR all got turned into rpgs after AC: Origins sold well. "If they liked it in one game, lets put it in every game."
Nope, it got turned after Odyssey. Far Cry 5 wasn't an RPG, the Crew 2 wasn't and certainly Mario Rabbids Kingdom Battle wasn't either.
I wouldn’t say cookie cutter, that would imply the game is on par or better than the last. This game is pure f*cken garbage compared to Wildlands.
@@memecliparchives2254 he meant far cry new dawn not far cry 5. Also the crew 2 is literally marketed as car rpg racing game. It has a loot system, like 100 different rpg affix stats on each car part. Loot levels. Different tiered loot. Gear score for all parts that makes up the total score for each car and class. How do i know u may ask? I have over 700hrs in the crew 1 and over 500hrs in the crew 2.

I cant believe Ghost Recon has no recon squad lmao
Exactly. Between that, basically no sync shot, and gear score, this game is a 'no go'.

Miss the good ol days where I didn't have to swap out my gear 10 times an hour, couldn't they just level up the weapon instead of finding an 'upgrade' after every encounter.
Yep. Like Red Dead.
Borderlands??? lol
IRL weapons don't level up aside from putting on better attachments. They should have went with a degradation system that required the weapon to be maintained in camp or risk failures/jams, the most severe of which would necessitate picking up dropped/found weapons.
@@wighty5860 I like that idea, would make grabbing new weapons worth it if the current one starts to jam or become more inaccurate over time without maintaining it. Would make finding a PX4 with more stopping power than a Deagle logical if the Deagle is degraded.
@@wighty5860 please don't try and get what is effectively a durability mechanic into another game that doesn't need it.
Three of us all cancelled pre orders on this after the closed beta. We spent more time in menus looking at gear/loot, of searching locations looking for gear, than we did in firefights or playing objectives. The gearscore mechanic sucks.
We were all looking forward to this after Wildlands, but it's a major step down.
No tah.

ghost rEAcon: Advanced Microtransactions.
They lost me with the game always being online
Pretty much every Ubi game this generation has been always online which is totally gob shite imo: Slow rendering items menus that are worse to go through than the Playstation store, pointless connectivity issues in single player games and random players and world events constantly taking you out of the immersion.
Some games even seem to be entirely streaming off some server since the controls have odd input lag.
I seriously LOVED Wildlands and when this game was announced I couldn’t help, but we HYPED, but now I’m just disappointed. They took out everything that I loved about Wildlands and inserted a bunch of shit. I guess I’ll just get The Outter Worlds instead.

Ignorance is bliss, especially in this case lol.
I've been passively following the game, I was slightly interested but I had a bad feeling.
I played Wildlands quite a lot and i had no idea that it was getting a sequel.
This shit came out of nowhere and it certainly explains its state. Then again. Ubisoft has been getting lazy with each new title. Siege was a fucking fluke and they monetized the fuck out of that too.
I’ve played the beta and it’s absolutely boring. Only fun for an hour an gets tedious real quick especially the god awful AI. I don’t know what it is with Ubisoft games but their a.i are atrocious in many of their games.
This game was revealed where Ubisoft forced the dog to stay on stage. It isa mess.
Who remembers Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter? Those were the days
It got a lot of flack at the time, but in hindsight it was incredible compared to this garbage. GR:AW 2 was actually pretty brilliant and I really enjoyed Future Soldier. I'd love nothing more than to have a legit GR experience again, but this game looks like a total lost cause, which is really sad.
GRAW was nothing compared to the original GR, but comparing to what GR is now, GRAW was awesome... Which really sucks
@@XCHECK Yeah kind of my point really. I still have the CD ROM for the original GR xD. Myself and a few buddies used to play as snipers on the big open forest map. Last man standing (or lying down lol) wins.

Ziomaletto huh the graphics are amazing fuck are you talking bout
@@d1hoopermike251 graphics are meh
Ziomaletto Then you’re looking at the wrong game.
During our playthrough we had, the A.I seemed to react much quicker. Everything else is pretty much spot on though.
Being completely aware of GR: Wildlands' reception and perception, it was by far one of my favorite games I've ever played. I loved everything about the world, story, the stealth, the tactics, so much of it. It was the only game I've ever platinum on PS4, and I got it AGAIN on PC (when it was basically on a super sale) and finished the game again. I love that game to death, and watching this video breaks my heart
By itself, the fact that the drones exist to just be the bullet sponge of the game and the drones to force a stop in gameplay lest you give up the stealth you put so much effort maintaining destroys me. The everything else just hurts me. I was feeling abrasive but hopeful, but now my hope is shattered...
Same here, GRB is such a huge step backwards from what made GRW (to me anyway) a truly fun game to play. GRW was immersive, it was challenging, and the Ghost Mode was a whole new level of fun. GRB is just a hot colluge mess of Division, Far Cry, and crap all rolled into one.
@@JumpingJack6 i found wildlands to be just boring. I feel, from playing breakpoint, they attempted to do so much customization that there is no real identity for it although i have found jacking this game up to its hardest possible difficulty and settings that it enjoy
I remember when Wildlands launched, some people were complaining that they wanted to specialize their characters more, they wanted more unique weapons to use, they wanted to play alone, stuff like that. Apparently they tried to appeal to those players. While I generally enjoy Breakpoint, I have to agree that many of these new additions were useless or confusing. They later added many community-requested features to Wildlands, why couldn't they do that here? Listen to the community first and then decide what to add?
Because money, people want a stealthy shooter and not have to play on pc. But companies pray on this want by using false advertising
Honestly, sometimes I think that the communities themselves don't always know what they want. The biggest problem that modern games are lacking is vision in storytelling.
Most people would agree that Far Cry 3 had the best villain in the franchise, Vaas. Most people would agree that Ezio is the best protagonist in the AC franchise. Most agree that Chaos Theory was the best Splinter Cell game. And some say that Ghost Recon was strongest with Advanced Warfighter, because it nailed the tactical futuristic military shooter theme the franchise was going for.
These four major Ubisoft franchises haven't made a game that could surpass their main champions for over 5-10 years now, even though they have released games almost yearly. Graphical and gameplay standpoint, all the new games are mostly superior to the old ones I mentioned, so the issue lies somewhere else. And that is a clear vision, a story or a soul, if you will. And for the past 5-10 years the Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, Ghost Recon and Splinter Cell franchises have become more and more hollow, because Ubisoft no longer focuses on delivering good story and delicate world-building, just more open-world features and monetization schemes.

@@hydrasoulz959 Yo, they kind of did, there's stuff added, some stuff missing for sure, but if you can navigate the curve that is the confusing design around the core staple formula...it is Wildlands 2. At least I played it that way for something like 11 hours yesterday alone, it's in there. I suggest if you paid for it, try just matchmaking and picking a base. I agree wildlands was tighter experience, but that if you're looking for more, the biggest drawback to Breakpoint for that, would be that they bury it so much it feels absent until you're in a squad, roaming around, where, eventually, you start to notice, oh shit that's a resource truck mission next to me, there's collectable attatchments, hey save the hostage, escort so and so, all the emergent fun stuff from Wildlands is in here, just doled out to the player in a way that is very overly complicated to a fault. Look past that, I would say you haven't wasted your money just yet, if you dip back in and manage to dig the Wildlands out of it. At least, as a day one-til-breakpoint player, this is how I feel about it, which is generally positive.

This is a game made with absolutely no love and care, it’s merely a quick cash grab
Gus Grime what was wrong with Wildlands original loot system. Why a gearscore? There’s no gearscore in tacticals. Gearscores arefor loot based RPGs that heavily rely on perfected stats. Wildlands and ALL ghost recons prior were NEVER stat reliant. You’re brain dead and fell right into the cash grabbing hype. 😘. You’re so dreamy
I played the closed Alpha, not impressed, played the closed beta, not impressed, played open beta... yup still the same result. The game blows. It wasn’t dev’d by Ubisoft Paris (the guys who did Wildlands). They literally hashed together a Division loot based system and put it inside shell of an alpha build reskinned version of Wildlands.
Gus should question the quality of what he is playing instead of playing it mindlessly.
@Gus Grime it's okay man. You like a bad game. No judgement
Gus Grime you’re still NOT listening. Yes it IS the division. There ARE bullet spongey enemies (ROBOTS) yes you WILL drop mag after mag into an enemy (ROBOTS). Why the fuck is here a “RAID” in a tactical shooter?! This is the division with a one shot headshot mechanic. You sir are lying, lying to yourself that this game is amazeballs. Ever notice the heavy amount of marketing that is being spent on this game? 🤔 ever notice every COD that marketed heavily was trash? Ever notice a trend in the gaming industry? A heavily marketed game ends up being hated by the majority. There’s a reason the “influencers” of UA-cam are being PAID to play the game. Skillup wasn’t sponsored. Because he has an honest opinion. Open your eyes and start using that brain of yours. Take a marketing class actually and you’ll understand. It’s truly a simple concept that obviously is lost on you lmfao
It's a couple of years later since release and they have added a slew of gameplay modifiers. You can tailor the game so that it plays a bit more like Wildlands.
But still, it doesn't have the character of Wildlands. I've slugged through the main storyline and I think 2 of 3 of the DLC missions. It's plainly "okay" now but it still couldn't top Wildlands.
I very much appreciate your brutal honesty. I was really hoping this game would be different. Thank you for the phenomenal videos you make.

Trev Rebel it’s not even pretty, look at those shitty ps2 character models
Its really not pretty. Close up a lot of the mountains are giant polygons even on the highest graphic settings. The character models vary greatly depending on how important of a character they belong to, the animations are terrible, and a lot of them are just reused from wildlands. The grass and plants sway around like there is a fucking tornado ripping through the entire island but is never affects anything but them. The level design is extremely odd, for example there is a bridge by a large port where for some reason the road shoots out at an angle and there is no railing. Its very convenient from a game play perspective as it allows you to get on the bridge easier, but it make no logical sense at all. Why would anyone build that extension to a road, with no railing, leading into a ditch next to a mountain? Its just lazy development. They could have created some damaged railing which would have at least made sense. I think if wildlands didn't exist they might have gotten away with it, but compared to the last game in the series which came out 2 years ago it seems to be a downgrade in every way (besides possibly the potential for micro-transactions).

The empty lifeless world was so astonishing that I thought they hadn't put the content in at first.
Utterly hilarious cutscenes, have they all had strokes?
lmao
Reminds me of Mass Effect Andromedas cutscenes
That dialogue instantly made me think of The Room
