As usual, some people are having a hard time with me calling a game like this underrated. I'm thrilled you love the game as much as I do. And I'm glad it's finally popular (why wouldn't it be? It's basically free to play now) But if you don't think this game got a ton of shitty reviews, you're just not paying attention.
I honestly haven’t been paying attention to the shitty reviews, except for the ones you highlighted in your first video ;D I’ve been too busy still enjoying this game.
hy maj0r! i just wanted you to know i always enjoyed your videos and enjoyed your talks in relation to star wars and stuff....i made a video on my channel which included you in an ever growing roster of people that think as you do in regards to the fandom menace...i hope you give it a look...i also really hope you keep making videos! even if it's not in regards to that kinda stuff anymore...
I started replaying again recently. I was half way into a Sicario base when an UniDAD helicopter spotted me. The UniDAD chopper proceeded to clear out the rest of the base of Sicarios, and then kept flying in a loop around the base until it crashed into a sniper tower and blew up. Thanks for the support UniDAD.
That anecdote had me LOL Thank you. I'm still playing too. Love the game. Yes it has stupid Clancy, Hollywood dialogue, but i am a true Tier 1 Ranger Operator. Me and my AI team are never seen and clear entire bases and missions silently, undetected, terrifying the enemy... They believe we are agents of Santa Muerte herself. And so do we... I've gone all Colonel Kurtz in Bolivia =D
Is BP the same exact game with just a sprinkle of added features? But in general, i thought ghost recon wildlands was ass. Cool concept, poorly excecuted.
Breakpoint is honestly leagues better than woodlands and the only reason it didn’t do better was because of poor marketing and lack of ai teammates. People complained about the story being too out there, but it’s interesting, fresh, and honestly just feels like future soldier 2
Wildlands had a better map and story and theres a a ton of things the rebels did in wildlands that you cant do in breakpoint and it's just kinda lame tbh
The narco lore (a whole album of songs, corridos, written for this game, on the radio, about the narco bosses, something musicians actually do in Mexico for narcos), the lore which is from real life:a real life problem in our world, makes break point feel like a b-movie, afterschool special. The emptiness of Break Point makes if feel like an unrealistic unconvincing place, that isn't even 1% as atmospheric as wildlands. Not to mention how much better the story campaign is spread out, across the whole world in WL, giving you a reason to go everywhere...not just because BP gave you a marker, on the opposite side of the map, to go on a wild goose, scavenger hunt for uninteresting intel. The world here, feels alive, and the mountains (I am from a mountainous place), are probably the closer to scale mountains I have seen in a game...and there are alot of them, makeing it that much better. Oh, and I don't think it's dumb.
You know what's crazier? That some of the narcos in game seems to be based on real life narcos, like when I found out El pozolero did the same thing that his real life counter part, I was mind blown, or la reina de belleza or the dead c.i.a agent, maan it's crazy and well... pretty sad for my country lol (Mexico) but yeah great game, looks like ubisoft did a really in depth research for this game
I remember spending 2 months grinding ghost mode for the gold exosuit and nearly quitting several times. I was so elated when I finally got the gold suit and even more so when I got a email from Ubisoft shortly after, congratulating me and also letting me know that I’m one of 5000 players out of 15 million who has finished ghost mode
I like that when you play this game solo, you still feel like you are in a little squad. Like the AI makes jokes and is tactical in a role play way, but it's not too corny
Next time you Jump in a plane or chopper.. listen for the line 'Sure are a lot of lights and buttons up here' why would a trained Black OP special forces dude say something like that, that clearly knows how to fly a chopper and don't make me mention the setting. We're ruthlessly hunting Sicarios. And Sicarios are fucking no joke. So to me I feel the developer didn't have the dialog be to hard for lesser IQ gamers to understand and follow. More like friends out on a adventure, I wish it had a bit more of a darker tone to it
@@Dustylunchbox I was AAV operator in the Marines and I can say for sure that's absolutely what a military person would say jumping into someone else's helicopter. We would make as light of most situations as possible. I even got my hands on a spare steering "wheel" that would use to prank the infantry riding in the back. I would turn around and pretend it broke off :P Dont get me wrong I agree and times can vet very gritty, but the longer people spend behind enemy lines, the less it becomes enemy lines and the more it becomes your home
@Dustylunchbox Bro they just put it in there as a joke bc its a game and theyre not taking themselves too seriously, Nomad literally says "shitballs" every 2 seconds and it's hilarious and you still don't understand that it's the same comedic style when he mentions all the lights and switches
I sympathize with the your ending. The Ghost Recon series, more specifically Advanced Warfighter, was the very first video game I ever played on the OG Xbox. And in an era where corporate greed and ignorance have either killed a franchise, watch them fade into obscurity, or are being mismanaged, this is one of the few franchises that while having several bumps along the road still maintains is core values. I have been a fan of this series since 2006 and hope that the next installment of the series actually builds upon what made Wildlands great. I'm willing to hold out hope for Ghost Recon.
I had and played the original first Ghost Recon and the original Rainbow Six. They were hard core, tactical, strategic and unforgiving. But they were on the right track. Now R6 is so ridiculous, but also prefers the company of the same sex. Especially in bed. GRW is the closest thing to the original vision of both GR and R6. Now one of the OG devs for both games has his own studio. Keep your eye on Ground Branch. A game that rewards tactical thinking over both reflex and network speed/ping. It's Co-op. PVP is for the birds, not for real operators, like in Ground Branch.
I consistently relive the entire campaign at least once a year. The weapon & uniform customizations alone make it so versatile, which opened up the door for the roleplay aspect in a big way. But for reasons I may never comprehend, I have been unable to play with/against other players for as long as I can remember. & Although I'm gifted with the unmatched charisma of three AI, it provides the best use for custom uniforms & backstories.
Totally. I haven't been able to find a team who have the patience and willingness to play silently, never detected. And No one is willing to sensibly select a wardrobe that not only is the right camo for the environment/situation, but also consistent with mine =D
Your original review of Wildlands got me subbed to the channel so it's great to see you covering it again. Seems like a lot of people are coming back to the game or discovering it now it's on Gamepass and PS Plus, as well they should, it's a fantastic open world game and one of the best shooters out there. I still play it and Breakpoint regularly. Great content as always dude 🤘
Just wanted to say that you are by far my favourite video game reviewer. I first discovered you through your Wildlands review (great game), and have enjoyed every review I’ve seen from you ever since. Keep it up!
This game is SICK. ESPECIALLY for guys like me who served and play all the time with other vet buddies. It's one of the most tactical games out there and one of the most FUN - IF you play it the right way. You can also just run and gun, shooting any tango that moves and blowing shit up while driving around GTA style. SOOOO underrated. Best Ghost Recon game of the entire series imho - followed closely by Breakpoint, which SHOULD have been better than Wildlands in all sincerity. But we're just the fans who buy and play these games - why would they listen to US?
I totally agree with you, this is still a great game. I'm 72 and have been playing since the beginning. The only thing that I don't like about the game is when you are backing up a vehicle and the camera spins. Is there a way to stop that or how do you use that feature? I have done a game and reached Tier 1 without any collections, skill points or missions completed. I can now start a new game from the very beginning in Tier 1. This makes the game very hard and extremely fun in extreme difficult mode. I play without any skills which makes it even harder. I love the challenge.
Thank you Major Lee. I love GRW and my Task Force is still growing. The reason I am subscribed to your channel was your dry, humorous, yet fair and sincere review of Ghost Recon Wldlands. I even linked your original review on my Ghost Profile page. The only link on my Ghost profile page. I would link this latest review on my Ghost Profile page, but Ubisoft no longer support the Ghost Profile page. The link takes us to the Ubisoft Ghost Recon Breakpoint, France page (not even close to my region; Australia) which kind of feels like a big middle finger from Ubisoft. Ubisoft also reset everyone’s stats (apart from rank/play style, tactical, stealth kills and precision) including team mates revived, hours played, missions complete etc. etc. Oh and Ribera error continues to plague us. Thanks for another great review, Major Lee! My favourite games reviewer on TH-cam.
The flexibility of this game is underappreciated. It's a *4.3/5* It's a bit overwhelming, but once you restart the campaign on Ghost Mode you appreciate it a lot more. The A.I is challenging.
Ghost mode and the consistent (even now) cycling of daily challenges keeps this game going. Loving Ghost mode. But I don't trust anyone else to join me so far. And although sync shot is usually reliable, sometimes my AI team members just stand there and watch me bleed out when I'm downed after being detected/shot for the first time in weeks! Ps, I am Tier 1, Ranger. Other players don't realise how realistic it is because they don't have the balls to play Ghost mode and reach Tier 1 and survive by never being detected. In real life, if you're shot, you're lucky to survive and survive in tact, still able to perform as a Tip of the spear Ghost Operator. Guns kill. So a professional (and not a moron) avoids being detected and shot at all costs =D
@elhorrendo7026 I’ll join ya ! I usually play solo too because I’ve been killed in the past with characters who were a few missions away from endgame 😫
I played this game back in around 2017 and is most definitely one of the best games I’ve ever played just because of the memories. God I love that game.
Wildlands is the Elvis Presley of console military simulation games that utilize an open world format! This game is truly badass in every way....and it's addictive to play cause it's so much damn fun!! And like Elvis, it seems to have stood the test of time and is making a solid comeback!! Show me another game that rocks like this one.....don't worry, I'll wait.....
GR:Wildlands had been in my steam library for at least a year. My first GR game was Breakpoint. Played the hell out of it. People were telling me try Wildlands. So yesterday I installed it and started playing. Still in the first zone doing the missions. Just learning how things work and all that. I am enjoying it a lot. Too early for me to review it but I got to say its looking like a very solid game. I think I'll be playing this game for a long time. Just came across your channel and thought I'd chime in.
That's cool that you started with Breakpoint and are working your way backward. I think you'll definitely enjoy this one. It was the peak of the series for me.
I picked up Wildlands after watching your first review. This game has no right to be as good as it is. It feels like Ubisoft somehow got tactical stealth right during this dark age of stealth games purely by accident.
@@bulbakip6380 I have. What does SOCOM have to do with anything? There were plenty of great stealth games in the PS2 era, and SOCOM is not an Ubisoft game.
I just discovered your channel this week and watched all your Ghost Recon and Division videos and you got me to try out Breakpoint and reinstall Wildlands and now you put this out. 🤯 weird timing for me haha
I still play this game regularly. I've played through it like 6 times. Even on ghost mode. It's so darn fun. I wish breakpoint was a true sequel (improvement) to this game.
Yeah man. I’ve been dedicated to the liberation of Bolivia from Santa Blanca since not long after release. Played through several times, played through Ghost Mode once completely and working on a couple of other Ghost Mode slots to keep it fresh. Occasionally I’ve taken a break and gone back to payday 2, then I get all juiced up for the continued mission of my Task Force. Santa Muerte’s Angels. Constructed an entire backstory that fits with the lore of GRW. Initially using our stealth and tactical precision and including elements of Santa Muerte in our uniforms and camo as the psy-ops aspect of our mission by feeding on the superstitions of local and cartel culture; I loved imagining the terror spread among the enemy ranks from rumours of entire outposts etc being eliminated without detection, silently, with no surviving witnesses and often done entirely bare handed (CQC). Ender the guidance of Task Force leader (known only as El Horrendo) the GhoSt unit realised they were in fact the Devine messengers of Santa Muerte, our hands and our righteous work, guided by Santa Muerte herself. After refusing to rotate back, SMA disappeared into the jungles, arid regions and even cities and towns of Bolivia, vigilantly carrying out our mission. While classified (mostly redacted) CIA documentation eludes to a small special forces element having been deployed by the US govt, nothing is known about the individuals of the unit and the government(s) deny any such involvement in Bolivia, buchons, corrupt officials and military continue to be eliminated or “disappeared”... desaparesito... even entire MOBs are later discovered without a single living soul remaining with no signs of a firefight or even a disturbance. Only the occasional buchon will find himself in the grasp of Santa Muerte’s messengers after his entire armed guard has been silently dispatched. He himself only to be released so he may remind (after regaining consciousness) his Jefes and the people of Bolivia that Santa Muerte watches from every shadow and that her faithful agents a re always present, harvesting the souls of the wicked, cruel and corrupt and deliver them to her. Faces never identifiable, except in the guise of the skull, seemingly having appeared from nowhere all too late, already in the grasp of the messenger of the bony lady. I love it!
IMO Breakpoints faces bother me. I played the ENTIRE GAME of Wildlands with the female Murphy face and not having that same face made me sad. If it’s a sequel my character should be the exact same. Maybe longer hair but that’s whatever. Also removes anything on your face in cutscenes
Just downloaded it and starting to play it. AMAZING so far. Wayyyyyyyy better than breakpoint. I skipped it because i thought breakpoint would've been better. Sure it has some modern stuff, but damn, the immersion available in Wildlands is wayy better even in terms of the AI teammates that roll with you. I LOVE IT
Just started playing this game since it dropped on game pass, i fucking love it. Its everything i should have done with my military career lol. I cried laughing in this video, hilarious
The fact that a game like this came out in 2017, while Gotham Knights can't even maintain 30 FPS, makes me wonder what happened to the game industry...
Great Video on a Great Game :) I will say that your opinion on the Ribera-40002 connection issue is one that's based on console servers for which Ubisoft actually seems to care about those servers as the console cash is their main bread & butter now but, when you've got as many hours as I've put into GRW (since spring 2017) and you start getting these errors 70 to 80% of the time especially on weekends which is the one time I'm off work and free to play GRW with friends well, then it becomes a bit more than just a minor issue...I mean you should know that the co-op play is one of the best things in the game, so since Ubisoft have recently closed several of their older game's online servers and now we're a bit worried that our beloved GRW could be next :/
I know, it's a wack ass bug. But having never experienced it I can't honestly say it ruins the game for me. I also think it's finicky enough that there do seem to be a few temporary workarounds for it. But your worrying is understandable. I too really hope they fix it.
One of the best aspects of Ghost Recon Wildlands is the daily solo and Task Force challenges. Apart from playing in Ghost Mode, this helps to keep the game fresh. Ubisoft May have made a lot of mistakes, but they also got a whole lot right in this game. It really is a shame they have removed the Ghost/Task Force Profile page (I can no longer modify the rank of my Task Force members to officer, vice versa) but I’m glad they continue to cycle the daily challenges.
I’ve played division 2 for so long, that was a major love for me. It was the best squaring it up with friends and recently I’ve been looking at wildlands.
Fun fact: Ubisoft used satellite 8mages and stuff to accurately sculpt the landscape you see, including landmarks like the Barbie house, Death Road etc.
I've played and i'm still playing this game a lot, and it's crazy how the game looks different with all the hud you have. You should try to play with ZERO hud to find a completely new game.
love this review... and still find this game was made with passion by the frenchies of Ubisoft.. and actually visited Bolivia after playing it. Most of the map exists in real life and was amazing to recognize them on site!
I really hope the next Ghost Recon it's great I think they have learned enough Breakpoint after the updates and motherland ended up really enjoyable, still Wildlands it's on top but if they use what they learned the next would be a sick game
It's 2022 and I just recently bought breakpoint;my 1st ghost game and I gotta say that I like it.I'm just getting used to it but it's still fun for me,but now you make me want to hunt down wildland so I can see for myself which one is better or more enjoyable.
So a few months ago maybe even weeks, time flies by playing this gem; Bought it on the juiciest discount possible for the ultimate most mega ultimate edition you can imagine. going through Caimanes as of right now and having a blast my only gripe is the glitches here and there like getting stuck rock climbing but mostly it's funny ones. So yeah pretty damn good game.
I randomly started this a few months back on Game Pass. Oh my I haven't enjoyed a game this much in years. Working my way through the map, love the different landscapes. A reasonable variety of missions (IMO) and an openness that leaves each mission up to the player. My wife says I'm going to get bored of it soon but so far I'm just enjoying each time I play 🎉
I hope “OVER” returns to the Ghost recon story featuring Midas, Holt, Weaver, Nomad, and Bowman, before the events of Breakpoint because i just discovered that Wildlands and Breakpoint have time gap between the timeline and story of each other’s game.
I love this and far cry, I’ve played and beat all of them. Is there another line of games besides GTA that aren’t fighting aliens or robots and very similar to Wildlands ?
Keep and eye on Ground Branch. Head dev worked on the original Ghost Recon and R6 original. I had both. Ground Branch and Ready or Not and the PayDay series.
Wildlands is my first ever Tom Clancy series that I've ever bought, only 2 months ago, currently playing the single player campaign, and my god its amazing!! worth every single cent!
Currently hip-deep in Breakpoint, but did manage to upgrade my vanilla Wildlands to the Ultimate Edition for a stupidly-good price.... ....but I'm torn : I could really, really use the more 'alive', engaging and even funny moments of Wildlands....but it's like switching books midway through, damned hard to do 😞
I just started to play it on Playstation as it has been added to the Premium catalogue (not sure if it is on the mid tier sub as well) and I’ve had such a banger of a time playin’ it. I should’ve bought this way earlier but then again all the reviews back then were so mixed.
Me and my friends used to have the Ribera error pretty often in the last months, but we think we found a way to avoid it. If you want to play coop, don't try to enter in one another's game as soon as you loaded the game. First, each one of you must load their single game, then you can look for your friend's status and join someone else's game. This way you should be able to avoid Ribera. Give it a try. Good luck!
Thanks for posting that. There seem to be a handful of ways around the Ribera error. I've honestly never experienced it but many people have had Bigfoot sightings and I don't consider (all of) them liars.
Only reason i deleted Wildlands from my hd is they did update like year ago that took out yeti and Preditor. But they took out content but yet somehow added 60gb onto thew file size to whopping 100gb up from 40.
I just bought this game for XB1 3 weeks ago. The last GR I played was on PS2. I absolutely love "Splinter-celling" my way around this beautiful love-child between Call Of Duty and Skyrim. I haven't enjoyed a game this much in years.
I've been a avid gamer for years especially military games. I always for some reason have the itch to keep coming back and re-downloading wildlands. The single player environment, the beautiful graphics with amazing scenery's and just that feel of being able to play any mission the way you want. I would love for a 2nd Wildlands honestly. A different country with the same type of feel but better.
I completely agree, my friend got me into the game a year after it's release and i got platinum trophy before him. We played the hell out of it to the point we're had contests to point that ended in 750+m headshot kills legit before we're found way too reach 1200+ . Or complete el sueno convoy mission in in literally 5 seconds.
One of best game from UbiSoft. I am so happy to get this. Even i spent so many hours in this, still playing. No better game of similar system and kind of environment.
Playing ghost mode with your friends is highly addictive! Me and my buddy don't throw patches on till rank 15, once you get a medic drone you've earned it.
Dude! Another completionist like me. I'm a perfectionist. Do a lot of "work" at night. Wet work. By sunrise, The entire FOB or MOB is dead. Nobody heard a thing. Me and my AI team of correctly camouflaged terminated every last soldier without being seen or heard and melted back into the shadows, driving away just as the sun rises. Time to sleep at a safehouse. For tonight we hunt again ;P
I agree. Insanity cigars are awesome. Wouldnt it be cool if our characters could smoke swords? I would also like a schlocky vampire invasion campaign mode confined in one of the regions and it starts to spread and people drop like flies and shit
As usual, some people are having a hard time with me calling a game like this underrated.

Make one for Breakpoint again too.
You’re one of the few youtubers who can entertain me with a video about a game I’ve never played. Always a good day when you upload!
If you enjoy the gameplay loop then it's a hell of a game!
Thanks for tuning in.

The only link on my Ghost profile page. I would link this latest review on my Ghost Profile page, but Ubisoft no longer support the Ghost Profile page. The link takes us to the Ubisoft Ghost Recon Breakpoint, France page (not even close to my region; Australia) which kind of feels like a big middle finger from Ubisoft.
Ubisoft also reset everyone’s stats (apart from rank/play style, tactical, stealth kills and precision) including team mates revived, hours played, missions complete etc. etc.
Oh and Ribera error continues to plague us.
Thanks for another great review, Major Lee! My favourite games reviewer on TH-cam.
The flexibility of this game is underappreciated.
It's a *4.3/5*
It's a bit overwhelming, but once you restart the campaign on Ghost Mode you appreciate it a lot more. The A.I is challenging.
Ghost mode and the consistent (even now) cycling of daily challenges keeps this game going. Loving Ghost mode. But I don't trust anyone else to join me so far. And although sync shot is usually reliable, sometimes my AI team members just stand there and watch me bleed out when I'm downed after being detected/shot for the first time in weeks! Ps, I am Tier 1, Ranger. Other players don't realise how realistic it is because they don't have the balls to play Ghost mode and reach Tier 1 and survive by never being detected. In real life, if you're shot, you're lucky to survive and survive in tact, still able to perform as a Tip of the spear Ghost Operator. Guns kill. So a professional (and not a moron) avoids being detected and shot at all costs =D
@elhorrendo7026 I’ll join ya ! I usually play solo too because I’ve been killed in the past with characters who were a few missions away from endgame 😫
I played this game back in around 2017 and is most definitely one of the best games I’ve ever played just because of the memories. God I love that game.
Just found your channel while I was looking to buy the game, but stayed for the dry humor and good content I will be subscribing
Wildlands is the Elvis Presley of console military simulation games that utilize an open world format! This game is truly badass in every way....and it's addictive to play cause it's so much damn fun!! And like Elvis, it seems to have stood the test of time and is making a solid comeback!! Show me another game that rocks like this one.....don't worry, I'll wait.....
If you're serious...then I can get behind this.
I just started playing this game 2 weeks ago. Excellent game. Plenty to do…really underrated.
GR:Wildlands had been in my steam library for at least a year. My first GR game was Breakpoint. Played the hell out of it. People were telling me try Wildlands. So yesterday I installed it and started playing. Still in the first zone doing the missions. Just learning how things work and all that. I am enjoying it a lot. Too early for me to review it but I got to say its looking like a very solid game. I think I'll be playing this game for a long time. Just came across your channel and thought I'd chime in.
That's cool that you started with Breakpoint and are working your way backward. I think you'll definitely enjoy this one. It was the peak of the series for me.
I never played this game. And now, I wanna play it. Love your vids, Lee!
I picked up Wildlands after watching your first review. This game has no right to be as good as it is. It feels like Ubisoft somehow got tactical stealth right during this dark age of stealth games purely by accident.
Sounds like you haven't played any SOCOM games.
@@bulbakip6380 I have. What does SOCOM have to do with anything? There were plenty of great stealth games in the PS2 era, and SOCOM is not an Ubisoft game.
Ubisoft could never make a Ghost Recon game that is as good as Socom US Navy Seals
MGSV on steroids. I love it.
Dark ages of stealth? What does that even mean?
I just discovered your channel this week and watched all your Ghost Recon and Division videos and you got me to try out Breakpoint and reinstall Wildlands and now you put this out. 🤯 weird timing for me haha
That is a little spooky...I blame the universe.
@@leelustig I blame it being added to game pass and on deep discount and people talking about it again. Still weird.
@@kmuck8677 And now PS Plus Extra. Let's go guys! Let's break those servers for good!
Brilliant game. Amazing, huge and diverse map, tight action, engaging story, addictive gameplay and basically a modern masterpiece.
Something else worth mentioning is that the Predator was removed from the game due to copyright reasons.
I still play this game regularly. I've played through it like 6 times. Even on ghost mode. It's so darn fun. I wish breakpoint was a true sequel (improvement) to this game.
You me and everyone else in the world who cant see this. We all wanted the same.
Yeah man. I’ve been dedicated to the liberation of Bolivia from Santa Blanca since not long after release. Played through several times, played through Ghost Mode once completely and working on a couple of other Ghost Mode slots to keep it fresh.
Occasionally I’ve taken a break and gone back to payday 2, then I get all juiced up for the continued mission of my Task Force. Santa Muerte’s Angels. Constructed an entire backstory that fits with the lore of GRW. Initially using our stealth and tactical precision and including elements of Santa Muerte in our uniforms and camo as the psy-ops aspect of our mission by feeding on the superstitions of local and cartel culture; I loved imagining the terror spread among the enemy ranks from rumours of entire outposts etc being eliminated without detection, silently, with no surviving witnesses and often done entirely bare handed (CQC).
Ender the guidance of Task Force leader (known only as El Horrendo) the GhoSt unit realised they were in fact the Devine messengers of Santa Muerte, our hands and our righteous work, guided by Santa Muerte herself. After refusing to rotate back, SMA disappeared into the jungles, arid regions and even cities and towns of Bolivia, vigilantly carrying out our mission.
While classified (mostly redacted) CIA documentation eludes to a small special forces element having been deployed by the US govt, nothing is known about the individuals of the unit and the government(s) deny any such involvement in Bolivia, buchons, corrupt officials and military continue to be eliminated or “disappeared”... desaparesito... even entire MOBs are later discovered without a single living soul remaining with no signs of a firefight or even a disturbance. Only the occasional buchon will find himself in the grasp of Santa Muerte’s messengers after his entire armed guard has been silently dispatched. He himself only to be released so he may remind (after regaining consciousness) his Jefes and the people of Bolivia that Santa Muerte watches from every shadow and that her faithful agents a re always present, harvesting the souls of the wicked, cruel and corrupt and deliver them to her. Faces never identifiable, except in the guise of the skull, seemingly having appeared from nowhere all too late, already in the grasp of the messenger of the bony lady.
I love it!
IMO Breakpoints faces bother me. I played the ENTIRE GAME of Wildlands with the female Murphy face and not having that same face made me sad. If it’s a sequel my character should be the exact same. Maybe longer hair but that’s whatever. Also removes anything on your face in cutscenes
Just downloaded it and starting to play it. AMAZING so far. Wayyyyyyyy better than breakpoint. I skipped it because i thought breakpoint would've been better. Sure it has some modern stuff, but damn, the immersion available in Wildlands is wayy better even in terms of the AI teammates that roll with you. I LOVE IT
Amazing game I agree brilliant game
Just started playing this game since it dropped on game pass, i fucking love it. Its everything i should have done with my military career lol.
I cried laughing in this video, hilarious
If this is how your military career looks on paper, you might need to face a tribunal.
Glad you enjoyed it. 😁
We need a wildlands part 2 like yesterday
The fact that a game like this came out in 2017, while Gotham Knights can't even maintain 30 FPS, makes me wonder what happened to the game industry...
This game is fun af. I play solo (well, with bots squad) and even I love this. Always going back to it years later.
Amen to that, hombre. Viva Santa Muerte and her four messengers, crushing the wicked Sicarios.
This was the best video I've seen in a long time. Subbed.
Great Video on a Great Game :) I will say that your opinion on the Ribera-40002 connection issue is one that's based on console servers for which Ubisoft actually seems to care about those servers as the console cash is their main bread & butter now but, when you've got as many hours as I've put into GRW (since spring 2017) and you start getting these errors 70 to 80% of the time especially on weekends which is the one time I'm off work and free to play GRW with friends well, then it becomes a bit more than just a minor issue...I mean you should know that the co-op play is one of the best things in the game, so since Ubisoft have recently closed several of their older game's online servers and now we're a bit worried that our beloved GRW could be next :/
I know, it's a wack ass bug. But having never experienced it I can't honestly say it ruins the game for me. I also think it's finicky enough that there do seem to be a few temporary workarounds for it. But your worrying is understandable. I too really hope they fix it.
I love doing steal the helicopter side missions cause each time I’m doing I mix up my approaches
One of the best aspects of Ghost Recon Wildlands is the daily solo and Task Force challenges. Apart from playing in Ghost Mode, this helps to keep the game fresh.
Ubisoft May have made a lot of mistakes, but they also got a whole lot right in this game. It really is a shame they have removed the Ghost/Task Force Profile page (I can no longer modify the rank of my Task Force members to officer, vice versa) but I’m glad they continue to cycle the daily challenges.
Wildlands is utterly fantastic. Even has amazing PvP.
so glad i found your channel! loved the bid
vid* :)
I’ve played division 2 for so long, that was a major love for me. It was the best squaring it up with friends and recently I’ve been looking at wildlands.
Great re-review. You forgot to mention the ghost mode, its a true game changer, just love it.
There's always Part 3.
@@leelustig ghost recon wild lands 10 years later
@@ZaneFormosa If you don't stop tuning in, I won't stop making them.
Fun fact: Ubisoft used satellite 8mages and stuff to accurately sculpt the landscape you see, including landmarks like the Barbie house, Death Road etc.
As always, awesome review! :)
I've played and i'm still playing this game a lot, and it's crazy how the game looks different with all the hud you have. You should try to play with ZERO hud to find a completely new game.
That chess line was definitely a top 5 one liner 😂 bravo my friend
love this review... and still find this game was made with passion by the frenchies of Ubisoft.. and actually visited Bolivia after playing it. Most of the map exists in real life and was amazing to recognize them on site!
Wait...seriously?
Ok, I think I need to revise my review. The game is now more fucked up than ever.
just finished your original wildlands video :) time to binge this one
I complained about the Ribera issue. But, it has also been an issue for 3+ months. It stated in late May, and they didn’t resolve it until recently.
Have you tried it in the new Ghosts mode? It's supposed to be immersive and 1 and done if you're killed. I just started it last night.
I've researched the first review countless times, so glad there's a follow up
I really hope the next Ghost Recon it's great I think they have learned enough
Breakpoint after the updates and motherland ended up really enjoyable, still Wildlands it's on top but if they use what they learned the next would be a sick game
It's 2022 and I just recently bought breakpoint;my 1st ghost game and I gotta say that I like it.I'm just getting used to it but it's still fun for me,but now you make me want to hunt down wildland so I can see for myself which one is better or more enjoyable.
I STILL PLAY THIS GAME DAILY LOVE IT SO MUCH ITS HUGE
One of the best games i have ever played, love your vid !
Dude literally got my friend into this game thanks to your original video
So a few months ago maybe even weeks, time flies by playing this gem; Bought it on the juiciest discount possible for the ultimate most mega ultimate edition you can imagine. going through Caimanes as of right now and having a blast my only gripe is the glitches here and there like getting stuck rock climbing but mostly it's funny ones. So yeah pretty damn good game.
I bought the game because of your original review and it's become one of my favorite games of all time. So... thank you!
Major lee 5 years later still underrated
The best part is when Unidad, the cartels, Rebels are in the same place. Had that moment yesterday , and that was intense and chaotic yet super fun!
Good to have you back, Major 👍
I randomly started this a few months back on Game Pass. Oh my I haven't enjoyed a game this much in years. Working my way through the map, love the different landscapes. A reasonable variety of missions (IMO) and an openness that leaves each mission up to the player. My wife says I'm going to get bored of it soon but so far I'm just enjoying each time I play 🎉
I hope “OVER” returns to the Ghost recon story featuring Midas, Holt, Weaver, Nomad, and Bowman, before the events of Breakpoint because i just discovered that Wildlands and Breakpoint have time gap between the timeline and story of each other’s game.
I love this and far cry, I’ve played and beat all of them.
Is there another line of games besides GTA that aren’t fighting aliens or robots and very similar to Wildlands ?
Keep and eye on Ground Branch. Head dev worked on the original Ghost Recon and R6 original. I had both. Ground Branch and Ready or Not and the PayDay series.
Wildlands is my first ever Tom Clancy series that I've ever bought, only 2 months ago, currently playing the single player campaign, and my god its amazing!! worth every single cent!
I LOVE THIS GAME! One of my ALL TIME favourites!
Wildlands it's great, but have you played Breakpoint's raids? Those are really fun coop.
Currently hip-deep in Breakpoint, but did manage to upgrade my vanilla Wildlands to the Ultimate Edition for a stupidly-good price....
....but I'm torn : I could really, really use the more 'alive', engaging and even funny moments of Wildlands....but it's like switching books midway through, damned hard to do 😞
I just started to play it on Playstation as it has been added to the Premium catalogue (not sure if it is on the mid tier sub as well) and I’ve had such a banger of a time playin’ it. I should’ve bought this way earlier but then again all the reviews back then were so mixed.
Me and my friends used to have the Ribera error pretty often in the last months, but we think we found a way to avoid it.
If you want to play coop, don't try to enter in one another's game as soon as you loaded the game.
First, each one of you must load their single game, then you can look for your friend's status and join someone else's game.
This way you should be able to avoid Ribera. Give it a try. Good luck!
Thanks for posting that. There seem to be a handful of ways around the Ribera error. I've honestly never experienced it but many people have had Bigfoot sightings and I don't consider (all of) them liars.
Only reason i deleted Wildlands from my hd is they did update like year ago that took out yeti and Preditor. But they took out content but yet somehow added 60gb onto thew file size to whopping 100gb up from 40.
If you haven’t yet, you need to try the Versus multiplayer. Most fun I’ve ever had in a competitive multiplayer game - and totally unexpected.
Man why is it always the best youtubers thar barely uploads lmao.
Spot on assessment; excellently quantified as well.
Jezz I was loudly laughing for a long minute after heard you say "Found 4chan and..." awesome
I just bought this game for XB1 3 weeks ago. The last GR I played was on PS2. I absolutely love "Splinter-celling" my way around this beautiful love-child between Call Of Duty and Skyrim. I haven't enjoyed a game this much in years.
I've been a avid gamer for years especially military games. I always for some reason have the itch to keep coming back and re-downloading wildlands. The single player environment, the beautiful graphics with amazing scenery's and just that feel of being able to play any mission the way you want. I would love for a 2nd Wildlands honestly. A different country with the same type of feel but better.
I agree with every word you said brother👍bought from day 1 and i still go hard on it
I completely agree, my friend got me into the game a year after it's release and i got platinum trophy before him. We played the hell out of it to the point we're had contests to point that ended in 750+m headshot kills legit before we're found way too reach 1200+ . Or complete el sueno convoy mission in in literally 5 seconds.
Still play it almost daily. Nice review follow up!
What do y’all think about this game strictly single player speaking?
Just got it today, it’s already one of my top ten favorite games
Welcome to your life.
Major, I don’t say this often, but you’re easily one of the best new channels I’ve seen so far.
Now THIS is a great review.
I spent 4 months of my life beating it without dying to get that exoskeleton suite.
One of best game from UbiSoft. I am so happy to get this. Even i spent so many hours in this, still playing. No better game of similar system and kind of environment.
Love this game, started playing it again recently
The plot is the reason I love this game taking down a drug cartel so much fun
the Wildlands beta (might have been an alpha) was incredibly buggy but my god i had possibly the funniest gaming sessions ever with my buddies
Just restarted to play co-op with my son. Had over 2,000 fun hours and it still is fun co-op.
I’m just playing this for the first time, and first Tom Clancy game since old splinter cell. Loving it so far just wish I could find more weapon parts
Oh crap, Major Lee video before bed. Happy day for me.
I’m sad to admit it, but I just started playing Wildlands.
It’s crazy how good this game is.
It’s crazy how good the graphics are. It’s just crazy.
still playing wildlands to this day!
I remember the original video on this!!! So good to do a revisit
Thanks for coming back. 🤘
@@leelustig that and the last of us 2 video are my favourite
Playing ghost mode with your friends is highly addictive! Me and my buddy don't throw patches on till rank 15, once you get a medic drone you've earned it.
Agree 100%. I spent so many hours in this game. OCD would not let me stop until everything was complete.
Dude! Another completionist like me. I'm a perfectionist. Do a lot of "work" at night. Wet work. By sunrise, The entire FOB or MOB is dead. Nobody heard a thing. Me and my AI team of correctly camouflaged terminated every last soldier without being seen or heard and melted back into the shadows, driving away just as the sun rises. Time to sleep at a safehouse. For tonight we hunt again ;P
I agree ..i bought the game when it first came out...finished it and loved it....your making me what to go another round
PS may be buggy. PC runs very smoothly other than the mission progression issues.
I agree. Insanity cigars are awesome.
Wouldnt it be cool if our characters could smoke swords?
I would also like a schlocky vampire invasion campaign mode confined in one of the regions and it starts to spread and people drop like flies and shit
Whoah, whoah...I'd like them to stick to the tactical shit, please.
