Ghost Recon Breakpoint Beta - First Thoughts

I probably played an hour or so tonight.
Really enjoyed it, despite playing solo.
Would have kept on fot longer but I’m so tired, will likely pick back up tomorrow though.

Pros

  • Good atmosphere
  • Intriguing plot
  • Beautiful UI
  • Excellent option to easily hide HUD and bring it back at press of single button during gameplay
  • Nice audio fade depending on enemy distance
  • Good use of minimap markers for chests and enemy drops

Cons

  • AI is possibly a little simple but it’s still very early

Don’t worry about starting weapons, I’ve found about 5 so far now in the first hour.
Didn’t look too closely at the skill tree but glad they’ve changed it to a more progression based model.

Go play!

I’m hoping to get some time in it tomorrow. I’d like to give it a go. Really wish this was a spring title so it wouldn’t face the competition from Destiny and CoD MW (for me at least).

I was going to give it a try, but honestly I know I won’t get it with BL3 in hand and MW on the horizon. I can’t keep 3 games going and not feel like I’m giving each enough time to really enjoy in full.

I’ve already changed difficulty up (which I never do anymore) and switched from Guided mode to Exploration mode.

So glad I did not preorder this. So many micro transactions. No not buying it this year ba bye

This was the first ghost wars I played. It’s a Farcry reskin with name brand gun porn and none of the humor. I have no desire to play it.

They’re really fucking up lately. First Div2 now this. Shame, they used to make good games.

I enjoyed the little I played of it.

Meant to play more on Sunday evening but hadn’t realised the beta ended earlier that day for some stupid reason.
