Re: Ghost Recon Breakpoint - 10/4/2019
It looks a lot like wildlands, but the enemy soldiers are stronger and have Jon Bernthal and drones on their side. There are four character classes. Players can suffer severe injuries that hobble them and must be adapted to. 1-4 player solo/co-op with a PvP option.

If you missed the reveal event, there's always the Twitch vod.
The downside is that watching the vod doesn't allow you to spam EPIC STORE SUCKS until a mod times you out.

Notably, if you play solo then you do not get an AI squad to back you up as is the case in Wildlands.

They mentioned drones that can get you synch shot which was basically the only thing the AI squad did for me in Wildlands (I mean other than the odd rez).

Re: Ghost Recon Breakpoint - 10/4/2019
Yeah, you get no second chances if you go down, and apparently no supporting fire aside from the sync shot via drones (unless you can perhaps have the drones up and shooting while the sync shot is on cool-down?).coopasonic wrote: ↑Thu May 09, 2019 3:32 pmThey mentioned drones that can get you synch shot which was basically the only thing the AI squad did for me in Wildlands (I mean other than the odd rez).
And no witty banter between the squad members.

Re: Ghost Recon Breakpoint - 10/4/2019
Plan would be to co-op with my son so I am fine with that. I did enjoy solo with the AI team in Wildlands though. Maybe I can buy some AI teammates with UbiBucks!

Re: Ghost Recon Breakpoint - 10/4/2019
Maybe it was locally grumpy?
I got a lot of use out of my AI teammates in Wildlands, maybe cause I'm lazy and was happy to let them do the heavy stuff
I don't care if it is on Epic and not Steam, I'll probably be buying a key through Green Man Gaming anyway. And October is way too far away to think about this summer. Instead of a road trip to Canada we're going to be home as my wife will be having and then recuperating from her fourth knee replacement surgery. Damn, it must be hell getting old

Re: Ghost Recon Breakpoint - 10/4/2019
Very good +1
No, she had a total knee replacement on the left side a long time ago, but the bottom element has recently broken lose from the tibia, so they have to go back in and replace that lower piece with another one that has a longer stem which goes down inside the tibia
A few years ago she had a total knee replacement on the right side, then because the bottom piece never adhered properly to the tibia, she had to have another operation to replace that bottom piece with one with the longer tibia stem, which is just the operation she is going to have soon on the left side.
Example image (not my wife's).
So, Ghost Recon Breakpoint... doesn't the story line seem a little overblown?

Re: Ghost Recon Breakpoint - 10/4/2019
My initial reaction to the story infodump was that it starts exactly like a Far Cry story.

Re: Ghost Recon Breakpoint - 10/4/2019
A bit. From what I gather it seems we've got a former Ghost who has decided to turn on his country/command/comrades and work as a mercenary.
It's such a tired trope that we've seen far too often at this point.
Still, Wildlands was also a bit of a trope and I enjoyed that so, who knows?

Re: Ghost Recon Breakpoint - 10/4/2019
There was pushback on the Bolivia thing in Wildlands... drones have been a hot topic, AI is a hot topic... the drones serve another purpose. They want more realism where a head shot is a kill, unlike what the Division has done with bullet sponges... are bosses really bosses when they go down just like any other punk? The drones allow them to have tougher enemies that aren't necessarily glass cannons.

Re: Ghost Recon Breakpoint - 10/4/2019
What do you guys think is the chance for a BR mode in Breakpoint? Does Ubisoft prefer to make its own thing, or would they add it in a game that like this that (supposedly) has good gunplay and an already big world... I'd be really excited if that was the case, I'm still not burned out by BR games, in fact I play Apex every week and still very much love the formula.

Re: Ghost Recon Breakpoint - 10/4/2019
They have 4v4 in Wildlands (Ghost War) and they said PvP would be there from day 1 in Breakpoint. I don't think they have given any further details. It seems like BR would be easy enough to add. Maybe they think there are enough BR games already.

Re: Ghost Recon Breakpoint - 10/4/2019
It appears that they've backed off on this. In the E3 presentation, they said that they're adding AI team-mates for solo players sometime after launch.

As I understand it, in order for you to invite someone they need to be on your uplay friends list and eligible for the test (i.e. be in North America or Western Europe).

I got your request and approved it.
I've tried to fire up the technical test and while Task Manager says it is running, there is nothing showing up, no game, no interface, nothing. I'll try again later.

I can neither confirm nor deny if I got to play for about 20 minutes this morning and found it very different from Wildlands and that it is very much a beta.

I tried several times today but the game still won't start for me and I never got a reply to the problem report I posted to the forums. I even re-downloaded it again and also re-updated my drivers. I won't worry about it, unless I have the same problems in the closed beta.
