Ghost Recon and The Division don't even have anything to do with the man's work. I let the original GR off because it at the very least fitted tonally and had the authenticity that his books have.
Ah yes ghost recon on PS2, a great gaming experience up there with the CODs at the time like Big Red One. Amazing. Sad to see this series just eat it on the way down the hill

@@pizzaparker6666 , sorry didn't see your reply. But, that one small thing doesn't make the game harder. It's easily avoidable and you aren't even encouraged to fight it. There's no big reward for taking them on, they're just a nuisance. Even the unidan patrols were a bigger hassle in wildlands if you didn't deal with them quick enough (they could call in large numbers of troops, for those who haven't played it). If you had a good reason to fight the hit squads that would make them more intrinsic to the gameplay, and then maybe that would make the game harder. The standard enemies are still dumber than rocks, and in fact, so are the 'big bad' wolves. The only difficult part is the drones. And while I do enjoy them as a nice touch, they don't make the game that much harder. (They do break it up a bit, which is nice) As a whole though, the game is a grindy mess. It really is not an improvement on Wildlands, just a variation on Division (mixed with Horizon Zero Dawn or Far Cry 5).
The character modelling/animations here just look so underwhelming and unappealing. They must have being rushed by Ubisoft to be published despite being incomplete.

RE in that case is I can’t control where Mr.X will be, only wait him out, or the dudes in the sewer who will always be there until you kill them.

This is my ideal hell. Like it used to be a meme, Ubisoft turning all their franchises into Assassins Creed. But now, literally, a realistic, tactic squad based shooter has turned into Assassins Creed. I'll at least give them credit for somehow managing to make it, and even getting some too buy in for one iteration. I also won't act like the series wasn't taking a full on belly flop to mediocrity with utter garbage like Future Solider. My God though, what happened. We went from Sum of All Fears, Ghost Recon 1, Rainbow Six 3, & Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory to shit like this. I'm really not a fan of Rainbow Six: Siege, much preferring Vegas 1 & 2 and lamenting no single player. I can recognize though that the game follows logically from its previous entries, it's not a complete bastardization of the Tom Clancy license and the RS franchise as a whole. I don't know what the bloody hell Wildlands was, and I don't know what this is. I'm just awaiting the inevitable open world Rayman with a million useless collectibles, some tower to climb too open up my map, and other cliches of modern Ubisoft development. We had something good going with Advanced Warfighter, Vegas, and Double Agent. Even Endwar was kind of different and fun. I've got no guesses on what Ubisoft is thinking, one thing is for sure though. After these terrible Ghost Recon games and the utter white wallpaper that is The Division, the Tom Clancy license is a shell of what it once was.
@@fv2977 You mean Ubisoft? They already pay attention to Chinese communist party directives. They censored Rainbow Six Siege. I think a few weeks later they reversed the changes, but being scared of review bombers doesn't make them good guys.

All that microtransactions, gambling, cutting parts for dlc, preorders, season passes, time savers, shipping broken games that might be fixed later if they get enough sales and whatever else, is one big scam to prey on addicted and easily hyped.

Looks like Ubisoft really pushed you to your... *Breakpoint* I'll see myself out. Edit: I love you Gman
Yep this is a time even ubisoft make bullshit game even thought the games before weren't really all that great. Like far cry 2 was its "peak" for ubisoft same for assassion creed. They became a big levelcentric game oh you want to use this sword assult rifle or other random thing well you are 12 levels behind sorry do 25 more of boring side missions to even get that want to quicken it buy these totally not in your face microtransaction to get there faster.
I remember when this series was a tactical shooter where you had to painfully crawl inch by inch through the grass and trying to locate and take out enemies from a distance. Hence the name: Ghost Recon. If you tried to just run around the map, you'd die in seconds from unseen enemies in the foliage. Crazy how far from its origins this series strayed.
I mean, they got Thomas Jane for the Punisher game and that turned out pretty good, so what's stopping them from... oh right, they don't do MCU games anymore since they all sucked apparently.
I agree and it's so sad I wanted this game to be a love letter to us Stealth Fans but no..I completed this whole game on Extreme completely Stealthy and it was so buggy and bad! So upset
@@afungai1649 While I agree that downgrading games is a shitty practice for any company, CDPR has done far more actions that outshine those questionable decisions, like actually providing remarkable post-launch content that doesn't feel at all like a steal and truly respecting their customer base. So yeah I wouldn't go as far as to say that I don't trust them just because of some visual downgrades that, while not disregarding the shittiness of it, don't have any kind of influence over the gameplay or the game experience (the thing that matters the most).
"Okay, so the Division 2 had the staying power of one of those old sticky arms covered in dust. Let's make another looter-shooter! This one will work for sure!" Like, what. Is "market saturation" not a thing for the millionaire CEOs of these companies?
@@HealerMommy1 I've never played the old Ghost Recons or any but I doubt that. Many people here in the comments are praising the old games and this one was a complete disappointment to them...
The game where Ubisoft finally admits they reached their "Breakpoint" years ago with their quality assurance. EDIT: 100 likes? Jesus, people are easy to please.
I thinks its just a common trend for AAA games to be released unfinished and unpolished. Give it time and enough backlash you'd be surprised how good the game could become, we just gotta beat ubisoft over the head for it
I try not to buy any new games until they have been out for like a year. Except for a few niche indie games that are smaller in scale (so easier to release polished), not many new games are released in any kind of decent state
I can't even get into Ubisoft games anymore. They're all just re-hashes of eachother. The Division and it's sequel and Far Cry 5 and it's Sequel are all essentially the same game. You travel around part of a post-crisis section of America which lays in ruin after a hostile faction takes over, conquering their bases one by one while upgrading weapons, grinding for loot. The only real difference between these four games and Wildlands/ Breakpoint is that the latter is military themed and takes place outside america. They're all decent games plagued by cash grab mechanics and too many paid shortcuts.
None of them are decent, they are all soulless and bland. And even Assassins creed which jade raymomd envisioned to be historically accurate in its presentation and details of the gameworld as possible into a history revisionist bullshit and subpar RPG with bad arcade fighting mechanics. Ubisoft is fully controlled by suits and not by people who play video games.
mrquackadoodlemoo they tried combining them but instead of combining the positives of both they took the worst out of each game, put it together and slapped on that Tom Clancy’s logo
Funny you blame it on the devs when it’s very clearly Ubisoft as the Publisher that makes them rush out a game with awful features and micro transactions.
EXCUSE ME? WILDLANDS WAS LITERALLY US MARINES GOING UP AGAINST BARELY ARMED MEXICANS WTF DO YOU MEAN? P.s there is a thing called one shot kills in real life dumbass
Melon Baller i think my first reaction to being shot would be 1. Scream 2. Curse as much as humanly possible and then 3. Try and fuck up the guy who just shot me. But i’ve also never been shot before so i don’t know how bad it feels.
@@pizzaparker6666 Wildlands and Breakpoint ignore one shot kills, the only possible one shot kill you can get is from a headshot. Body shots are completely irrelevant in Ubisoft Paris's mind. It's not like lungs, or a heart, or an artery are a thing.
Well most of western aaa game are, like almost theres no doubt about them except for a few companies. On the other hand, eastern aaa games are in better shape; u can put ur faith in them and not getting disappointed except konami
@@solarstrike33 Not my point. Controversy is what it is and nearly every game company has it, including the ones I've mentioned. My point is that not every AAA game company today shelves out unpolished and unfinished games. Although they do occasionally like KT with some of their Nobunaga's ambition titles and Dynasty Warriors, but have also published Nioh which is a very polished game imo.
Whitestell - HAHAHA how can a game exist without ingame monetization? that cannot be done! Now give us your money and stop being an entitled toxic gamer.
One of the few reviewers you can trust to be giving his ACTUAL opinion of what he reviews, and not having to worry about losing his "exclusive access" if he's too critical
After all the negative flack this guy received in the past months, he still hits the nail to its head. Great review, once again. Greetings from Germany.
"If they're gonna have another stab at this Ghost Recon thing, I think Ubisoft need to take a good hard look at what they're doing wrong and try to fix it. And for your own sake, please don't try to include microtransactions" This aged well.
They already had the damn framework in wildlands. All they had to do was just improve upon it. Its so frustrating. Also why does the UI look so plane considering how flashy it was in wildlands.
Spot on mate! Well done vid. I still can't believe Ubisoft took 50 steps back to make this game. They didn't build on Wildlands and continued what made that game great. Cheers big ears
Upgrading weapons effects all guns of that name, so it transfers to all guns no matter the level. For example if you fully upgrade a lvl 50 416 to MK3. Then you get a lvl 70 416. Those mk3 upgrades stay the same as they are applied to all 416.
It amazes me how much of a downgrade this game is to WIldlands. Wildlands had it's issues, but was a ton of fun. Breakpoint just tries to go too far w/ stupid design decisions and enemies that are just idiots.
your reviews are basically the only ones I watch for games - love your work and humor! Btw: your vids and editing is getting better (including other footage or sound effects etc)
Yeah I know I just want to get super high quality and super high life is perfect and I stay calm and smooth everything plays a good role in the team I am sure we can be heroes to be a better friend and we can see what we can do to help you achieve the right not even a little bit of a palm coconut head your right hand side.
So has your opinion of this game changed since all the numerous updates and patches since launch? It's quite a different game now what with all the customization options for play plus the AI squad members too to boot.
So, an idea I had for a game: An area of the world that had multiple nations fighting to control it. Several factions want it but none can really do it overtly because politics is an asshole. In you come, a mercenary, amongst man, who can change the future of an entire land/nation with your choices. You can work any group you want, for better or for worse. Enemies respond realistically, either dozing in when they have larger numbers or surrendering if they're stranded and have no other way out. You can interrogate the surrenders for INTEL. Capturing surrendering enemies are carted off to the faction you're working for (at the time) so that they can gain PR. Or you can kill them and deny your faction (at that time) the positive PR. It should be noted, all atrocities committed while under a faction's banner is dropped on them. If you are identified as a mercenary, however, it is dropped on you. Plausible deniability. You rank up as you go, buying gear from locals and internationals alike. Wearing camo helps hide you in the brush while civilian clothes can mask you in populated areas. It takes all this into account. Even heavily populated that don't allow guns freaks when they see you with a firearm while rural areas are simply dandy with seeing you armed because, well, so are they. It's, in my mind, what the next Ghost Recon SHOULD have been, but instead of protecting US interests you're filling a wallet. Your injuries maintain over time. You have to eat, drink, and sleep. Gear can get shot up. You have stamina that can be built up but burnt out. It's basically as CLOSE you can get to the real thing without being boring.
My buddy said, and I quote “This game is amazing.” He’s playing this on console, and I think to myself oh, my sweet summer child. That $100 is gonna hurt 🤣
xavier latorre - the quality of the games reflect the quality of each gaming generation, that is why gaming is becoming increasingly worst, games are dumbed dowm because gamers are dumbed down, and are nothing more than casual gamers but hardcore consumers, i have seen all generations of gaming and modern gaming is disgusting, with an exception of some games and the independent developers. Ubisoft is expecting that a lot of people will enjoy the game, because they (ubisoft) know what i know and that's why they develop these products.

I remember playing Ghost Recon , the first one in XBOX360. At that time I still play on the bulky TV in my room, with AV cable which means 240p. But it was a great game. No loot. The game mechanics and the game progress and story let you immerse into the universe.
I love the game no joke. So dont argree most part what you say I pre order game and am happy and play game every day and that for me most important For all hater who are here just for likes with hate comments bye bye am back playing the game and have fun
Playing this game in 2021 and using the realistic/immersive mode or whatever, and it's SO different and leagues better than what's shown here. I actually really enjoyed it and sank over 120 hours into it.
Played a few good tactical FPS games with the Ubi logo on it .. although developed by Red Storm. Now we got another mundane unpolished shooting gallery. Barely worth the price but offering plenty of microtransactions. Almost makes me look forward to SGW 4 which is a series I haven't even considered trying until now.

This is my ideal hell. Like it used to be a meme, Ubisoft turning all their franchises into Assassins Creed. But now, literally, a realistic, tactic squad based shooter has turned into Assassins Creed. I'll at least give them credit for somehow managing to make it, and even getting some too buy in for one iteration. I also won't act like the series wasn't taking a full on belly flop to mediocrity with utter garbage like Future Solider. My God though, what happened. We went from Sum of All Fears, Ghost Recon 1, Rainbow Six 3, & Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory to shit like this. I'm really not a fan of Rainbow Six: Siege, much preferring Vegas 1 & 2 and lamenting no single player. I can recognize though that the game follows logically from its previous entries, it's not a complete bastardization of the Tom Clancy license and the RS franchise as a whole. I don't know what the bloody hell Wildlands was, and I don't know what this is. I'm just awaiting the inevitable open world Rayman with a million useless collectibles, some tower to climb too open up my map, and other cliches of modern Ubisoft development. We had something good going with Advanced Warfighter, Vegas, and Double Agent. Even Endwar was kind of different and fun. I've got no guesses on what Ubisoft is thinking, one thing is for sure though. After these terrible Ghost Recon games and the utter white wallpaper that is The Division, the Tom Clancy license is a shell of what it once was.
Same here was really Looking forward to this game well gonna Stick to BL3 and come back later to See if its gotten better
I used to be hyped for it, wildlands was pretty good with a good story and a fibrant world.
Now it's a shit looter shooter...
Looks like while everyone was busy hating EA, Ubi quietly turned into even worse abomination.
This is why you shouldn't only focus on one company.
If we're turning this into a competition, at least they haven't pledged allegiance to a totalitarian government yet.
@@fv2977 You mean Ubisoft? They already pay attention to Chinese communist party directives. They censored Rainbow Six Siege. I think a few weeks later they reversed the changes, but being scared of review bombers doesn't make them good guys.
Omnius Prime did you really just compare ubisoft to ea? Ubisoft makes microtransactions uh micro as in a small part of the game. Ea you have to have micro transactions their basically required
@@pizzaparker6666 They all are the same scum to me and don't need different degrees. I'm a simple guy, to me they either play fair or not, nothing between. They want to sell me something? So show me finished and complete product and tell me total price.
All that microtransactions, gambling, cutting parts for dlc, preorders, season passes, time savers, shipping broken games that might be fixed later if they get enough sales and whatever else, is one big scam to prey on addicted and easily hyped. And I have the lowest possible opinion of everyone doing that and it doesn't matter if one company might look slightly less scummy than other.
You can't kill one guy and go free just because your neighbour killed 2.
Looks like Ubisoft really pushed you to your... *Breakpoint*
I'll see myself out.
Edit: I love you Gman
Heck, EVERYONE’s just on their breakpoint now.
Yep this is a time even ubisoft make bullshit game even thought the games before weren't really all that great. Like far cry 2 was its "peak" for ubisoft same for assassion creed. They became a big levelcentric game oh you want to use this sword assult rifle or other random thing well you are 12 levels behind sorry do 25 more of boring side missions to even get that want to quicken it buy these totally not in your face microtransaction to get there faster.

I remember when this series was a tactical shooter where you had to painfully crawl inch by inch through the grass and trying to locate and take out enemies from a distance. Hence the name: Ghost Recon. If you tried to just run around the map, you'd die in seconds from unseen enemies in the foliage. Crazy how far from its origins this series strayed.

Remember kids: If Ubisoft releases a trailer for a new game, wait for reviews and avoid the hype.
If ANY AAA Studio* releases anything, just don't support them. Though CD Projekt Red and Naughty Dog get a pass.

CDPR is guilty of downgrading games, so I don’t trust them either
Thats true of any AAA studio these days. Oh well, plenty of indie gems to play instead.
@@afungai1649 While I agree that downgrading games is a shitty practice for any company, CDPR has done far more actions that outshine those questionable decisions, like actually providing remarkable post-launch content that doesn't feel at all like a steal and truly respecting their customer base. So yeah I wouldn't go as far as to say that I don't trust them just because of some visual downgrades that, while not disregarding the shittiness of it, don't have any kind of influence over the gameplay or the game experience (the thing that matters the most).

I try not to buy any new games until they have been out for like a year. Except for a few niche indie games that are smaller in scale (so easier to release polished), not many new games are released in any kind of decent state
I can't even get into Ubisoft games anymore. They're all just re-hashes of eachother.
The Division and it's sequel and Far Cry 5 and it's Sequel are all essentially the same game. You travel around part of a post-crisis section of America which lays in ruin after a hostile faction takes over, conquering their bases one by one while upgrading weapons, grinding for loot. The only real difference between these four games and Wildlands/ Breakpoint is that the latter is military themed and takes place outside america. They're all decent games plagued by cash grab mechanics and too many paid shortcuts.
None of them are decent, they are all soulless and bland. And even Assassins creed which jade raymomd envisioned to be historically accurate in its presentation and details of the gameworld as possible into a history revisionist bullshit and subpar RPG with bad arcade fighting mechanics.
Ubisoft is fully controlled by suits and not by people who play video games.
This reminds me to play mgs5 again.
Flugruger Airlines MGSV is a much better game.

Kind of looks like they tried combining Division and Wildlands.
Precisely why I’m not buying this piece of shit
mrquackadoodlemoo they tried combining them but instead of combining the positives of both they took the worst out of each game, put it together and slapped on that Tom Clancy’s logo
New Game
Player : whats new in this ?
Dev : Buy Stuff with Real money!
Player : fine... is it Bug free at lest?
Dev : yes after 5 months
Also dev, but quietly: only if you guys buy lotsa stuff
It's funny how a masterpiece like hollow knight is way more complete and only $17, and was only made by two guys who never made a full game before
if the division games are something to compare with, it will take years before this shitshow can be called less buggy and eons to call it bug free..
Funny you blame it on the devs when it’s very clearly Ubisoft as the Publisher that makes them rush out a game with awful features and micro transactions.
Ghost recon its supposed to be a realistic military shooter (no tagging , one shot kills?)
Instead we got this...
I hate this gen of games
Just wait until next-generation. It'll be the same sh*t.

Last-gen was honestly better.

@@pizzaparker6666 Wildlands and Breakpoint ignore one shot kills, the only possible one shot kill you can get is from a headshot. Body shots are completely irrelevant in Ubisoft Paris's mind. It's not like lungs, or a heart, or an artery are a thing.
"Unpolished & Unfinished" as expected from every triple A company today.
And Naughty Dog
What about Koei Tecmo? And publishers like Bamco with the recently released Code Vein?
Surely not all AAA companies right?
Well most of western aaa game are, like almost theres no doubt about them except for a few companies. On the other hand, eastern aaa games are in better shape; u can put ur faith in them and not getting disappointed except konami
@@CB66941 KT and Bamco have had their run-ins with controversy in the past though.
@@solarstrike33 Not my point. Controversy is what it is and nearly every game company has it, including the ones I've mentioned.
My point is that not every AAA game company today shelves out unpolished and unfinished games. Although they do occasionally like KT with some of their Nobunaga's ambition titles and Dynasty Warriors, but have also published Nioh which is a very polished game imo.
"Developed by Ubisoft..."

Would love to see a remaster of any of the OLDER GR games, or just a rehash on what used to make them so great.
One of the few reviewers you can trust to be giving his ACTUAL opinion of what he reviews, and not having to worry about losing his "exclusive access" if he's too critical
After all the negative flack this guy received in the past months, he still hits the nail to its head. Great review, once again. Greetings from Germany.
What negative flak?
Did I miss some big controversy or something? I've been subbed for a while.
ye what negative flak, greetings from germany too if that matters

I feel bad for john bernthal having to be associated with this trash, he should have been in wildlands, THAT was a good game
He was in DLC content
@@stealthbrawler actually it wa free content
The Chris Farley reference was awesome
Rest in peace, Chris Farley.
"If they're gonna have another stab at this Ghost Recon thing, I think Ubisoft need to take a good hard look at what they're doing wrong and try to fix it. And for your own sake, please don't try to include microtransactions"
This aged well.
They already had the damn framework in wildlands. All they had to do was just improve upon it. Its so frustrating. Also why does the UI look so plane considering how flashy it was in wildlands.
Thanks, your review is the best I've watched on this title. No nonsense and well presented. 10/10.
It honestly looks like it’s 6-7 years out of date, graphically
Edit: Lordy, even the animations look last-gen. It’s so stiff and low effort
Graphics aren't everything and they look good the game just sucks
Xbox 360 is fire af still
Spot on mate! Well done vid. I still can't believe Ubisoft took 50 steps back to make this game. They didn't build on Wildlands and continued what made that game great. Cheers big ears
Looks like they tried to make a lame bootleg version of MGS:V and added a bunch of grindy progression mechanics
Upgrading weapons effects all guns of that name, so it transfers to all guns no matter the level. For example if you fully upgrade a lvl 50 416 to MK3. Then you get a lvl 70 416. Those mk3 upgrades stay the same as they are applied to all 416.
At this point Tom Clancy is spinning so fast in his grave that you could harness enough energy to cover Ubi HQ's power bill
Hey, just wanted to say that your editing has gotten so much better the last few videos!
It amazes me how much of a downgrade this game is to WIldlands.
Wildlands had it's issues, but was a ton of fun. Breakpoint just tries to go too far w/ stupid design decisions and enemies that are just idiots.
This has been by far the best review I’ve seen. You actually go into the story and game mechanics. As if that’s to much to ask. Thanks sonny Jim.
Isn’t the Title of the video pretty much describe almost every Live Service Games lately?
Absolutely loved the intro.
Are they trying to be like that E.T. Atari game?
Very compehensive review, also funny. You got a new fan, buddy!
I've already sold my copy and reinstalled wildlands.

Great video GmanLives
. For any Tom Clancy fan that wants their soul to be torn then go to Crowbcat's video on this game.......prepare to suffer
When you hear the postal 2 music the moment the video starts, we know we’re in for a good old sonny Jim time (and to see a game torn a new one).
Dawn of the dead theme that is.
This is disappointing as I really loved Ghost Recon: Wildlands :(
It was a decent game, but I enjoyed it. But this is a abomination.
SAME
your reviews are basically the only ones I watch for games - love your work and humor! Btw: your vids and editing is getting better (including other footage or sound effects etc)
I swear you could switch out GR footage for The Division 2 and the review would still be accurate lmao
Yeah I know I just want to get super high quality and super high life is perfect and I stay calm and smooth everything plays a good role in the team I am sure we can be heroes to be a better friend and we can see what we can do to help you achieve the right not even a little bit of a palm coconut head your right hand side.
I'm grateful there are tasteful, honest reviewers like you Gman to lend their thoughts on debacles like this game.
Keep up the good work, man. :)
And yet people still buy the game before it comes out.
"Let the buyer beware"
So has your opinion of this game changed since all the numerous updates and patches since launch? It's quite a different game now what with all the customization options for play plus the AI squad members too to boot.
I haven't played it since I made this video.
Holy crap Ubisoft is just disgusting lol. This game is a nightmare. Seriously F that company.
So, an idea I had for a game:
An area of the world that had multiple nations fighting to control it. Several factions want it but none can really do it overtly because politics is an asshole. In you come, a mercenary, amongst man, who can change the future of an entire land/nation with your choices. You can work any group you want, for better or for worse. Enemies respond realistically, either dozing in when they have larger numbers or surrendering if they're stranded and have no other way out. You can interrogate the surrenders for INTEL. Capturing surrendering enemies are carted off to the faction you're working for (at the time) so that they can gain PR. Or you can kill them and deny your faction (at that time) the positive PR. It should be noted, all atrocities committed while under a faction's banner is dropped on them. If you are identified as a mercenary, however, it is dropped on you. Plausible deniability. You rank up as you go, buying gear from locals and internationals alike. Wearing camo helps hide you in the brush while civilian clothes can mask you in populated areas. It takes all this into account. Even heavily populated that don't allow guns freaks when they see you with a firearm while rural areas are simply dandy with seeing you armed because, well, so are they. It's, in my mind, what the next Ghost Recon SHOULD have been, but instead of protecting US interests you're filling a wallet.
Your injuries maintain over time. You have to eat, drink, and sleep. Gear can get shot up. You have stamina that can be built up but burnt out. It's basically as CLOSE you can get to the real thing without being boring.
My buddy said, and I quote “This game is amazing.” He’s playing this on console, and I think to myself oh, my sweet summer child. That $100 is gonna hurt 🤣
Jay Tee - he will probably tell you through clenched teeth "i love it, it's a great game...".
Or you know he’s enjoying it like some people
xavier latorre - the quality of the games reflect the quality of each gaming generation, that is why gaming is becoming increasingly worst, games are dumbed dowm because gamers are dumbed down, and are nothing more than casual gamers but hardcore consumers, i have seen all generations of gaming and modern gaming is disgusting, with an exception of some games and the independent developers.
Ubisoft is expecting that a lot of people will enjoy the game, because they (ubisoft) know what i know and that's why they develop these products.
@Lockonese Nah but he's serious man. Give people a chance because it's terrible to just think you're right and whoever agrees with you is right. We the gamers/consumers of these products can't let them take advantage of our willingness to purchase these horrible games

Couldn't have said it better myself. Nailed it.
I remember playing Ghost Recon , the first one in XBOX360. At that time I still play on the bulky TV in my room, with AV cable which means 240p. But it was a great game. No loot. The game mechanics and the game progress and story let you immerse into the universe.
I love the game no joke. So dont argree most part what you say
I pre order game and am happy and play game every day and that for me most important
For all hater who are here just for likes with hate comments bye bye am back playing the game and have fun
I think playing this game gave you brain damage pal.
Playing this game in 2021 and using the realistic/immersive mode or whatever, and it's SO different and leagues better than what's shown here. I actually really enjoyed it and sank over 120 hours into it.
Welcome to our new reality which is live-service hell.
Played a few good tactical FPS games with the Ubi logo on it .. although developed by Red Storm.
