<\/a><\/p>\nIt is a sandbox game, which means that you will be busy most of the time with side-missions, that add very little value to the game’s overall story or setting. This is a good thing though, as for me it will be the game I just mess around in for fun. When you add friends into the mix, things get much more explosive as the combat relies on two people working together or one messing up and the other one cleaning up the mess.<\/p>\n
Often I would head into a base and shoot without a suppressor equipped, this all while my partner was trying very hard to stay incognito. The nice thing about it all is that if I am seen, then all the fire will be targeted to me, and he can still sit back and pick enemies off without a trace.<\/p>\n
Those who have played GTA V Online would know the joy of working together in a big open world with vehicles around to use at your own discretion. I saw some similarities in Wildlands as my partner and I flew around in a helicopter taking down each stronghold at a time. We went in, killed everyone, collected all the resources, and got back into the chopper and flew away.<\/p>\n Later main missions required more planning as I went for the power box to trip the power in the base, and my partner stood back and targeted all the enemies around the area for me. When the power was off, we headed in together and silently took down each enemy around us. It was the definition of great use of co-op in a game, and it will make Wildlands an awesome game to play with friends.<\/p>\n It also helps that different players focus on different skills that will come together to create an unstoppable force in the main game when playing co-op. A sniper build helps all the time, while an assault build who has higher armor and more close combat damage will come in handy too. The skill system lets you take control over the abilities you want in the game, with very little restrictions.<\/p>\n Weapons also add to your inventory, as you will find weapon parts scattered around the map that unlock new mods for your loadout. Improved grips help accuracy, while scopes and sites improve range. You have to actually unlock the weapon itself first by finding it in the box before you can mod it. Picking up an enemy’s weapon will let you use it, but any modding will be locked until you actually own the weapon.<\/p>\n Stealth often failed to work out as a viable option. Many areas had very little enemies in them, so going stealth to tag enemies with the drone, and then planning a route in, would take too much time.<\/p>\n I hope that the game’s difficulty spike at times an adjusts depending on the amount of players you are playing with. I felt that it was too easy most of the time, and due to this, we left being tactical and just went in guns blazing.<\/p>\n The game also has a looting system that forces you to run around tagging boxes of resources like food, tech, etc. These are then used for skill upgrades along with skill points. The issue here is that there are dozens of these boxes in every area, and you have to run to each one, hold down the button, and wait for a short animation to finish. Even after six hours of playing, the thought of tagging these boxes was draining. It just becomes a chore. Sure there are ways to get larger amounts of resources via supply raids, but the tagging needs to be easier, and faster.<\/p>\n While speaking to Jan, he complained about the terrible car handling while using a mouse. He mentioned how bad the controls were while using the keyboard and mouse, and after a few hours of gameplay, he just could not take it. I played on a PS4 Pro, so the controller worked great, although flying was an issue both in a helicopter and a plane. There have been much better flying experiences in the past like GTA V. Ubisoft, please make flying and driving smoother.<\/p>\n Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Wildlands does not have a list of negatives right now, and I really enjoyed it overall. The only downfall I see is its story. It takes the backseat in the game behind the game’s awesome open world, and stunning gameplay.<\/p>\n The beta tried very hard to pull me into whatever I was doing in the game, but after I while I did not care about who and what we were doing, only that we were having fun while doing it.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
