Ghost Recon Breakpoint Is Fun But Trying To Be Something It's Not | Cultured Vultures

Ghost Recon is a looter shooter now for some reason.

Yup. Pretty much all the survival mechanics in Breakpoint are completely pointless. I started the game on hard, and didn't even ever have t use a syringe or bandage because the health gauge fills up so quickly. Even stamina regenerates so quickly that there's no need for water etc. I thought this was supposed to be a survival-tactical shooter? It just seems like another noob-loot shooter rinse and repeat game.

Its Ubisoft.

DaveZero1710d ago

That's just a stupid thing to say.

DaveZero1710d ago

Things like that can be changed and Ubisoft will if health fills to fast.

Sometimes you guys think a beta or alpha is set in stone, this is what they are for to find out how to improve the game more.

Not one of the Tom Clancy games are the same anyway a year after release, to many changes to mechanics and it's those refinements that the fan base asked for that make them completely different from release.

I would take what anyone says bad this early on as a pinch of salt, it simply wont stick.

Hungryalpaca1710d ago

Every single Ubisoft alpha and beta has been an accurate reflection of the final product aside from performance.

BLUEKNIFE1710d ago

Same delusional argument...we heard the same thing on Anthem, Fallout 76, etc.....

Hungryalpaca1710d ago

It also doesn’t help that he AI are dumb as bricks.

During the tech test I sniped an entire base without alerting anyone without a silencer. I was just standing on a hill.

That was the point I uninstalled the tech test.

BLow1710d ago (Edited 1710d ago )

Wow, that's sad to hear. I play every game I get on hard if there is a choice. I like Wildlands even though I bought it late and even haven't completed it yet. All these open world games are not good for someone like me lol. Yes the missions can get somewhat repetitive but I still like it. I could just go through the main story now but that part of me that wants to do everything won't let me lol....

"But Trying To Be Something It's Not"

Literally every Ubisoft game recently

Ghost Recon
Assassins Creed
Beyond Good and Evil II
Watch Dogs (compared to the first one in terms of tone)

They are all changing into something that dosen't fit with what was originally created and I bet if Splinter Cell or Prince of Persia comes back the same will happen there aswell.

Hungryalpaca1710d ago

I’m a huge fan of the old Clancy games - the ones that needed tactics like r6 - r6 3 and the original GRs

They took a sim lite series and made it a casual action game.

I wish Ubisoft would rerun to its roots with these games but they only want money.

Rachel_Alucard1709d ago

Before WIldlands they just copied CoD with the GR series. They found an easy to replicate formula some years ago with AC and Far cry and have been just copying that style of content nonstop with every series they've made. Their newest copycat formula is adding levels and gear score RPG trash to series with fans that don't want anything to do with that stuff. Thus alienating and hurting series quality.

criticalkare1710d ago

Did anybody watch that running animation from closed beta? Way character moved is weird... almost reminded me mass effect andromeda when running i dont know if they did that on purpose or not

Wow. That's a lot of games. Still no PSP, PS1, or PS2 titles though....................

RetroCaptainSteve552d ago

A bunch of Ratchet and Clank games though.

Eidolon552d ago

streamed. gross. I have a PS3.

CR7JUVE1897552d ago (Edited 552d ago )

Yeah, but they are only putting back what was originally on PS Now in the first place. This isn't worth the Premium Tier as of right now. They need to do a lot better on their legacy consoles titles

BABI-PANGPANG551d ago

Insane lineup! Was actually thinking of getting back into Skyrim and always wanted to give Division 2 a go but never around it.

Class_Viceroy551d ago

Umm if you want to “get back into” Skyrim wouldn’t that mean you already own it? I mean like 95% or the human population owns a copy of that game in some format.

I’m just confused as to how you’re excited to get back into it when you could literally buy the game for $5-10 for years now. The Division 2 has also been $10 for a while now.

Your excitement just seems a little inauthentic and cheesy. If you really wanted to play those games you could have by now and for dirt cheap.

BABI-PANGPANG551d ago

Haha alright, alright. Let me elaborate, sweety 😉

Last time I played Skyrim was back when it originally appeared on the PS3, so going back to it would feel like somewhat of a fresh experience, with better graphics ofcourse. Also never touched the DLC so that's a plus!

Since I have a full-time job and value my social life a lot, I don't have all the time in the world to try out every game I'm curious about. The Division 2 did spark my interest but since I was pretty disappointed by the first one I decided to give other games more priority. But now that I've got some time off from work and Sony is offering it through Plus, I might as well give it a shot. No way I'm able to finish it but that's ok.

Also, Im a big sucker for the old Kingdom Hearts games, so happy for anyone that's gonna give them a try.

Wether you agree with me or not, don't let it ruin your day, alright?

Man PS Extra just isn't impressing me. I dont care that there's no big AAA games releasing day one on the service but the stuff they are adding is just old filler. I've played already.
Gamepass games might not all appeal to everyone but at least they give a broad mix of new games. Road 96, Echo Generation, Turtles, Streets of Rage, Signalis, Ghost Song, Somerville. They're all great additions.
Sony should have made some deals to bring the likes of F.I.S.T. RollerDrome and Inscryption to the service or games like them. Something of value.
I guess I got the wrong impression when they gave us Stray.

Eonjay552d ago

I feel the exact opposite. I have only played three of those games. I'm definitely taking advantage of this month.

monkey602552d ago

Good to hear. Hope you enjoy something you might not have otherwise

Eonjay551d ago

What you are saying makes sense for you because you have bought so many games. This isn't the case for most people. Services like this are great for finding and trying ges we might have been apprehensive about in the past. I finally get to try Ghost Recon, Earth Defense Force and KH 2.8

I understand your point of view tho.

gangsta_red552d ago

Echo Generation was an absolute blast to play. And I am enjoying Signalis at the moment, in between OW2 play. I definitely agree tho, the offerings for PS+ seem to be left overs from GP, they definitely need standout titles to make their service more appealing.

I guess if you don't have both consoles these would be some good games to play, but again, just as you stated, Sony should make more deals to bring games like similar to Stray to their service.

SurgicalMenace552d ago

There is another option; buy what you want to play instead of relying on a service to grant you access. All the games you mentioned are available for purchase. Sony is already granting a lot for only 120 yearly, that is equivalent to buying two games. Be grateful....

monkey602552d ago

I have bought those games. Well with the exception of Rollerdrome, I havent got that yet. And I have a library of over 800 games so you don't need to worry about my spending habits. I'm just saying the value just isn't there in the service for me. I find they do fantastic with the choices of games for PS Essential but Extra is disappointing and Premium is a joke. They really did just rebrand PSNow and there's no extra effort being made here. As it is, if my sub was up this month I wouldn't renew it

SurgicalMenace552d ago

Cool story bro, but I assure you that your spending habits are of no concern. While every person has their own taste, what stands out to me is the fact that you have 800 games but are complaining about what one serve offers over another.

I have well over 10k games but there is always an opportunity to discover and purchase more. Sony has one of the richest libraries acrossed several platforms so they don't need to offer more "appealing" games as they often just sell those. What sense would it make to give what's willing to be bought? GP has to appeal more because they're both losing market share and have a community of thrifty gamers. With a despondent economy of gamers you can't risk not offering everything to keep them engaged.

Crows90552d ago (Edited 552d ago )

For now. Stray was a day 1 release for instance. So was shadow warrior 3

shinoff2183552d ago

Fist looks incredible. Ive been waiting for a sale.

monkey602552d ago

It's a great game! I got equally excited for Clid the Snail but that was a dissapointment.

S2Killinit552d ago

Your opinion is the exact opposite of mine. I think the value of PSPlus is higher for my style of gaming.

Sony needs to just come out and address the state of PS1/PS2/PSP classics to the public.

I paid $28 in June to test out the premium. But it looks like I won't be renewing for $120 in Dec.

shinoff2183552d ago

You do have a point. I want more classics. There loaded ps1 ps2 wise. Whats the deal. I still think the service is on par with gamepass where everything stands right now. But i need sone of those classic titles.

gleepot552d ago

PS Plus has been such a disappointment so far

They really do try everything.

Relientk77823d ago

I don't think Ubisoft are going to get it through their fat thick skulls either way, even with the incredible amount of backlash they've been getting for this.
