@OperatorDrewski there is a bot in your comments pretending to be you giving out consoles. I left a comment on your video earlier. You'll find the bot there .
Remember that Wildlands wasn't so popular at launch. Think I got it 3 years after launch and me and 3 other friends played the crap out of it. The thing I love the most is that even tho your heli get shootdown it doesn't explode in a ball of fire, it get's into a critical mode that let it actually crash to the ground from some hights before it explode so you and your friends actually have a chance to escape it when it crashed to the ground. It's very cinematic.
I remember not loving the beta of Wildlands so I didn't buy it.. Until I played Breakpoint and the whole environment felt so empty without the locals and your squad. Ran to get Wildlands ASAP
Wildland's Bolivian setting is believable, I still play to this day. Nothing about Breakpoint's AI drones and behemoth boss fights are believable - just a copy from other games.
@@vandoz Well, a bug or not. It's an awesome and cinematic moment of surviving a helicopter or airplane crash that isn't scripted. It gives a cool moment of getting stranded and trying to escape the enemy. :)
In my opinion this is one of the greatest games I have ever played, I remember when it first came out and I would sit down next to my dad and watch him play for hours on end
dont get me wrong i loved wild lands but it just lacked tactical depth. The AI hive mind was super dumb for tactical combat, the "bullets more hurty" difficulty settings, all the clothing being down to what sponsors they had rather then any kind of depth to it, even in this video you still see the truck their chasing spawn behind them. Cool game but could have been really special if it wasnt for the publisher
This game was amazing, me and my best friend must've put 1000hrs playing this game , doing every mission and sneaking around and synchronizing shots. The environment was so immersive really easy to get lost in it. Plus every region had like their own unique feel. Still one of the best games I've played.
I always loved ghost recon wildlands. Just an incredible world to mess around in. So big and vast. And if you take it slow and methodical it feels real good Even with the hud you can turn of most icons and colorful notifications and it feels much more serious and mature
I wanted to love Wildlands so bad, but the gameplay is too shallow and arcadey to scratch the "Ghost Recon Itch," something the games have failed to do since Advanced Warfighter 2 (the last GR that didn't care to attract the casual CoD crowd).
@@hirschkuh1982 I say underrated because not a lot of people have played it and I know some that have and they got uninterested pretty quickly. Didnt really win any awards or hardly even mentioned
@@Guasho Because the game was unrealized. Awesome art driection -- one of the best open-world designs in any game. Gun handling was on point. AI was pure trash, though. Difficulty settings were uneven. The UI was a mess. And there was fast-travel everywhere. Also, the story made the "good guys" seem prettry awful and the "bad guys" seem like they were actually helping Bolivia. You essentially de-stabilize the country and leave a bunch of people homeless and poor and consider that a "win". It's pretty messed up.
That's because Breakpoint looks worse. Same with the recent AC games. Recently Ubi is making games that looks worse or less inspired than previous entries.
I love seeing wildlands get some recognition again, I personally play with a few added features from some mods that add first person and disable some features such as the detection sounds from enemies. Makes the game so immersive I love it
6 years ?! Wow this takes me back a bit, my old xbox buddies I no longer play with were so hyped to play this game and we had an amazing time. Not my favourite game but it was absolutely fantastic with freinds
I remember binge watching your Wildlands videos. You actually inspired me to play with the No Hud / Extreme Difficulty settings and it was extremely hard haha but it was a rewarding experience. I took it to another step further and made rules for my loadouts as well, I can't remember but I know my pistol was suppressed, my sniper rifle was unsuppressed and I think I had a SMG, that I was able to also suppress
I love playing no hud, though I could only ever play the second hardest difficulty since the hardest would get you aimbot one-tapped by a cholo gangster gripping a mac-10 in each hand from like 70 yards as soon as you were seen, which was not very immersive (note I say immersive not realistic cause idk maybe you could do that irl but I doubt it) and might be fine if I had friends to play with but with only the derpy bots it got old fast. Regardless no hud is the way to go and I still go back to play every now and then.
You don't need to play on extreme. Not everybody has the same muscle strength, so you wouldn't make everybody lift the same weight. It just needs to be the right mental weight for your mental strength.
I remember walking with squad along the railroad at one of the starting locations on a calm night just before dawn. And that calm guitar song "Rest at Montuyoc Alpha" is playing. Awesome moment.
@@TheHalo14aus hell yeah. Finished Division 8 times across 2 consoles I'm in the process of finishing it again on PC. Prefer The Division Story is superb IMO better than the sequel.
I fell in love with The story and detail and wildlands you can tell some real effort and passion went into the game and that’s something you just don’t see from AAA games anymore, one of my all time favorites.
@@elliotwatson3964 That's because most people who love this game never played the original Ghost Recon games. They were never may favourite but they were really good for what they were and very tactically sound. Wildlands -- while gorgeous, with a great map and weapon selection -- doesn't know what it wants to be. is it a simcade shooter or a tactical milsm? Is it an open-world exploration game or a fast-travel mission-based shooter? It has all of these contrasting and contradicting elements to its design, as Ubisoft was trying to make two games for opposing audiences.
@@billywashere6965The original ghost recon arent that good.Its just nostalgia of older people.Wildlands is way better upgrade from the old games.They just cant accept it.
@@contra7631 I played both and you're wrong lol The original ghost recon was realistic, tactical, and unforgiving. One bullet you die You are just as vulnerable as the enemies if you're not careful I love Wildlands it still has that element but it is not an upgrade on the realistic and tactical side But it's still more tactical and realistic than other games at the time
Fr I played that shit out of it with my dad. He’d always be overwatch because he was cracked at using the sniper and I’d sneak in outposts, it’d be fun when something went wrong because my dad would turn into the punisher and always save my ass 😂.
I cannot emphasize how immersive this game is, with the guitar playing in the background, my squad standing right behind me, us standing at the edge of a mountain peak. My god, this is a must play for every shooter enthusiast.
I bought this game not so long ago when it was discounted on Steam and I play very well despite the FPS drops. The game is very pleasant and you can feel the freedom of the open world
I still have a lot of time for this game despite its quirks and bugs. Playing on the highest difficulty with one other person and both agreeing to try and complete the whole game as stealthy as possible has been one of my favourite challenges
Wildlands will always hold a special place in my heart. It’s the first ever game I got on release, I remember waiting all day for my dad to pick me up from school to go to GameStop and get it. It’s also the reason I got into more tactical games like arma
@@cvoxoisgodlyHalo 3 dropped in 2007. Lmfao! Quite some time ago, miss the easy days. I remember spending so much on a Gear of War 3 edition Xbox 360. Barely have time to game now adays ;(
same i remember when it came out i traded all my games so i could get ghost recon for free with my xbox one cause they didnt allow that game to be given with the xbox.. i know every xbox purchase comes with a game sometimes or not with promotion but they only let you get certain games like assasins creed and other shit.
I'm 67 years old and have been playing Wildlands for several years and love it. (It's actually the only game I'm playing right now several times a week). I only play Open World Games and as far as I'm concerned, this game is the best one of them all, and I've pretty much played them all. My second favorite Open World Game is Skyrim, third GTA5. I have already preordered "Starfield", just waiting for its release in 12 days. I also can't wait for GTA6 and Elder Scrolls 6 to be released. I just hope they come out before I die. All that being said, I will continue to play Wildlands forever. I love this game so much. It's a dream of mine that Ubisoft would remaster Wildlands for the new consoles and add a Zombie DLC to it. Wildlands is the perfect game to add Zombies to.
@@ToothPasteLOL Its a Drewski video, of course id watch it. My other yt account is one of his earliest subscribers. If theres one person who can take negative feedback or the odd "i disagree" comment, its Drewski.
I will always love Ghost Recon Wildlands. This is the game that let me meet all of my current friends and it introduced me to my current favorite genre of games. After 6 years, it's still the best coop shooter on the market and will most likely hold this title forever.
@@nomustacheguy5249 I was excited for breakpoint, it looks good the intro was cool. Actually playing though? besides looking better, idk. if you took breakpoint graphics and mechanics, slapped them into GRW i think it would be better. A base hidden in a mountain of rebels fighting to free their country from the cartel. idk just could not get into it like GRW. Decent game though.
@@Unsp0kenProphet both have their own mechanics. There are gameplay elements that are just better in breakpoint. Story-wise both are too loony if you ask me. But I will agree Bolivia was beautifully rendered in wildlands
@@nomustacheguy5249 too bad ubisoft just can’t seem to get their priorities right and instead of making a 3rd one where they listen to the fans’ feedback and combine the strengths of Wildlands and Breakpoint, they tried to make ghost recon into a battle royale game.
@@nightwing268 ugh don't remind me. I almost forgot the BR abomination still exists. I was hoping it was one of the 7 cancelled titles that ubisoft announced.
LMAOOO @ 4:34 I just started another play through of this game. It’s in my top 5 for sure. I love games that give you stealth type options, and having the entire map open to move as you see fit is a real treat.
This game feels like where my mind goes when I sleep, the music, the beautiful scenery, good oul tactical pews.. just something great about this game was surprised to see Drew playin it but happy to chill
Feels embarrassing to admit I found out about this game 2 years ago but since I did, it has easily became my favorite game. Can’t stop playing it. And it’s almost 7 years old that’s crazy
Right? I found it 3 years ago and have ehh, 700 hrs into it or so. I just love GR:WL, i've played it enough to actually notice which guns play the best for me, but all the guns in game work. And I've only just gotten comfortable in Tier mode clearing buildings, after all these hrs (it's also my first shooter). I see why so many people carry the SMG now. But I'll never stop loving my AUG, I put the 3 round burst on it, and set it for max range loud, and Oof. It feels like a laser cannon the way it beams down enemies from a distance. The play feels good, but the scenery brings me back over and over again. What do you like about the game?
Got a gaming PC recently and Wildlands was one of the first games I bought. Playing it at ultra settings and higher frame rates after 30fps on console for so long is absolutely glorious. Extreme, no HUD, with a tasty reshade and the mod which removes the "thunk" hit marker and beeping detection sounds and it's like playing a new version of the game. Still one of my favourites after all these years.
Weird, I haven't played this game in years, yet I think I recognize this spot 2:59 as the nuke mission location. Where you have to hold position [usually on that 8 ball building's rooftop] and then take the truck and drive it into the quarry before it explodes. I knew that whole Wildlands map like the back of my hand, which came in handy for doing the challenges. But they kept using the same building models over and over so maybe I'm wrong. Definity Deja vu for that mission when I saw the fountain and that building across the street though. I'd turn off all my HUD's for the story missions and then go into multi-player, forgetting to turn them back, on and end up shooting my own team. Fun stuff. Thanks for the memories.
just got this game last week havent been able to put it down coming from a lifetime of halo and COD ive never played anything like this in my life and it has changed me as a gamer forever
It is a good on-boarding point for mil-sim gaming. I like the pace of it more though, the stealth aspect makes it top tier. It's like chess with guns, sometimes.
Just restarted the game last week as well, its great. I'm just at the beginning of the video, so I don't know if you'll do that later on, but there is a button to holster the weapons which I think is great for immersion in situations like that where you're just walking in the town
Drewski I'm not even going to lie I literally started tearing up when I saw this this was my favorite series on your entire Channel and I've dreamed of it coming back. I can't believe it's back bro I'm literally jumping up and down excited right now thank you so much please make more of these please
I am following your TH-cam channel for like three years and watching most of your videos. I really like them, to come down and chill watching your videos, after work is the treat for the day. It doesn’t matter to me if it’s Escape from Tarcov, DCS, VR Flight Simulator, Ghost Reacon.👍🏻 Your content and playstyle as well expression and love to gaming are so authentic and I think that’s what make your videos so awesome. Please keep going🙏🏻 and stay gaming all day and night. ( Although you need some sleep, na just kidding real gamers need no sleep) 😉
lol no, it's rated where it should be. Great graphics and some solid design mechanics don't accommodate for the fact the pacing is pretty atrocious, the missions are highly repetitive, and the AI isn't very good at all. The game should not have been stretched out to 100 hours because it didn't have 100 hours worth of content like Red Dead 2 did.
I played it when it came out, I really liked the coop stealth aspect and the visual aspects most, like the feel as well It has room for changes and improvement, and the vehicles are mostly just ugh (although the helis got un-crapped in a later update) but it still was pretty nice
Best game I have ever played. i fell in love with this game within the first five minutes I played it. just last year I finally started playing the pve cause I had only played the pvp. i still play this game and pretty much the only game I play.
So when I build my first PC back in 2017, I bought a GTX 1080 GPU and this game came with the card for free. It was the first game I played that was AAA. I was used to Minecraft, CSGO, and League of Legends. This game, in my opinion, was amazing! Truly ahead of it’s time. Nowadays, yes games have better mechanics across the board. But the cool tactical things you could do with this game was freaking SICK. I remember getting ready to capture a base and I would use the synchronized sniping, while also planting C4 everywhere. As well as proximity mines. And in an instant, the base was wiped. It was so awesome. Breakpoint doesn’t come close for me.
Honestly you just strolling through this town talking about whatever is actually really breathtaking. It reminds of scenes where the squad is just hanging out shootin the shit before going on a mission. Makes me wanna redownload this game
One of the funnest coop experiences I ever had. As a Navy Vet I would drink some beers and play with random vets and other people in general. Definitely was a good time.
Ever since I played the beta where you got to mess around in a few different regions I completely fell in love with this game and I instantly pre ordered it. Haven’t really played a game since then that brought me as much joy and satisfaction as playing this game even beating it completely solo
i got into breakpoint instead of wildlands but after watching a lot of tactical-adjacent content from you and others i feel like i have been playing these games all wrong! gonna look into wildlands now
Future Soldier is still my favorite, played a ton of it with a friend back in the day. Wildlands does come close though and with its open world aspect is arguably better. I just wish there would be a new tactical sim style Ghost Recon with room clearing tactics and all that sweet stuff.
Man, this game being almost 6 years old is insane. I played the beta and enjoyed it just as much as the full release. I still have yet to dip my toes into the dlc though.
Am playing this game right now. Found it a few weeks ago for a price I liked. The atmosphere in this game is great. It is really fun. I wouldn't be surprised if someone actually from Bolivia would see this and say it is spot on. Thats what someone said about Montana in Far Cry 5.
the battles that would randomly take place around the world when Rebels, Unidad and SB came into contact were amazing. They lasted so long and the carnage and burnt out cars on the road after a 20 minute firefight was always immersive.
Gameplay and overall feel, Wildlands. Looks and environment , Breakpoint. Wildlands is fun while Breakpoint is tactical. Marine buddies and I play Breakpoint together and play Wildlands by ourselves. My kids like fun and I like realism. It feels like a most of the team worked on Wildlands and only the smartest ones worked on Breakpoint. At the end of the day video games were created to be enjoyed.
I have been recently playing this game for about 2 weeks and I absolutely love this game. The open world is massive and there is so much content here and there, it feels so lively and so filled with life. Very well made game
Totally agree on the immersion thing btw. I just had a son, he's a month old now, i don't even bother booting up my pc now... Had the same when my daughter was born, took about six months until i could play the way i like 😂
I've played this game on the restart three times and I still go back and play it from time to time. BF by EA Games use to give me the same effects and I did always enjoy playing the game. I return back to BF4, BFV, and BF 2042 from time to time, but it's not a real war campaign anymore; It's just a shoot me in the face now, and that's not as fun to play. A lot of console games are now released for PC and there are a lot of games I would spend on to play if they had been on PC.
Wild lands was a great setting, story and truly groundbreaking on making a truly pleasurable tactical game for not only PC but consoles. If it had the features of breakpoint it be the best game ever
I think what breakpoint lacked was any kind of communication or connection with your squad, because your team in breakpoint does not have convos what so ever which I really missed in it
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE how Breakpoint turned out (from an arguably rocky start), but I never felt as immersed in Auroa as I did in Bolivia in Wildlands. The Wildlands world just seemed more 'alive' to me. This video made me reinstall it (waiting on as I comment); hope I'm not disappointed going back ha
I remember playing the beta with my friends, and the thing that sold me on the game was the customization. You could make some badass looking operators, and the stuff they added later on was pretty cool. Too bad it was all in the store/loot boxes.
Love wildlands, a very unique atmosphere and a great world to explore. Bolivia had never crossed my mind before, now it's the first country I think of when I think of South America.
This is the first GR game I’ve played since like 2003-2004 on PS2. I bought Wildlands a few years back on sale, just the base game, for like 10 bucks on steam. I finally decided to start playing earlier this week. And omg, I’ve been so addicted. I dont have a job rn and no one is hiring where I live because it’s slow season (I’m in a very rural area with like nothing around), my last 2 jobs let a bunch of people go because they aren’t making enough money to keep us on. I’ve been really down lately because no one can afford to hire people, been trying to do odd jobs. But this game has been taking my mind off the stress all this week. I already sank 100 hours in. On tier 38 right now. Still have half the bosses to beat. I got so sucked into finding all the weapons and upgrades, which I’m still doing. I’ve been spending time in Unidad basses getting my patrol level up then hunkering down and seeing how long I can last before I get killed on the hardest difficulty lmao. Flying helicopters is one of my other favorite things to do. I made immersive outfits for all terrains lmao Tbh, a few are inspired by the enemies in in MGS 1&2, the snow one and the Gurlikavich soldiers. One is inspired by HUNK from RE. This game is great fun. It can be as hard and immersive or as easy and chill as you want it. The driving mechanics could be a lot better, but again, I mainly fly everywhere. And tbh, the only reason I’m doing tiers is for credits for the crates. Not spending money on loot boxes 7 years old lol. I’ll do ghost mode next for the same reason. There’s a lot to do in this game, even just for fun. It really scratches an itch my Autism has been looking for lmao It feels like Division, GTA, Splinter Cell, and a little bit of Syphon Filter all smashed into one.

Wildlands -- while gorgeous, with a great map and weapon selection -- doesn't know what it wants to be. is it a simcade shooter or a tactical milsm? Is it an open-world exploration game or a fast-travel mission-based shooter? It has all of these contrasting and contradicting elements to its design, as Ubisoft was trying to make two games for opposing audiences.
@@billywashere6965The original ghost recon arent that good.Its just nostalgia of older people.Wildlands is way better upgrade from the old games.They just cant accept it.
@@contra7631 I played both and you're wrong lol
The original ghost recon was realistic, tactical, and unforgiving.
One bullet you die
You are just as vulnerable as the enemies if you're not careful
I love Wildlands it still has that element but it is not an upgrade on the realistic and tactical side
But it's still more tactical and realistic than other games at the time
Literally one of my favorite games of all time
Fr I played that shit out of it with my dad. He’d always be overwatch because he was cracked at using the sniper and I’d sneak in outposts, it’d be fun when something went wrong because my dad would turn into the punisher and always save my ass 😂.
@@Chadius_Thundercock your dad, probably: "Russo!!!"
I cannot emphasize how immersive this game is, with the guitar playing in the background, my squad standing right behind me, us standing at the edge of a mountain peak. My god, this is a must play for every shooter enthusiast.
I bought this game not so long ago when it was discounted on Steam and I play very well despite the FPS drops. The game is very pleasant and you can feel the freedom of the open world
if you're playing alone download a cracked version, there's no FPS drops since there's no DRM peaking your CPU from time to time
I still have a lot of time for this game despite its quirks and bugs. Playing on the highest difficulty with one other person and both agreeing to try and complete the whole game as stealthy as possible has been one of my favourite challenges
Wildlands will always hold a special place in my heart. It’s the first ever game I got on release, I remember waiting all day for my dad to pick me up from school to go to GameStop and get it. It’s also the reason I got into more tactical games like arma
Mine was Halo 3, haha!
@@SosoHero y’all are so young. CoD4 at my buddies PC was great.
Mw2 xbox360 was great beginning
@@cvoxoisgodlyHalo 3 dropped in 2007. Lmfao! Quite some time ago, miss the easy days. I remember spending so much on a Gear of War 3 edition Xbox 360. Barely have time to game now adays ;(
same i remember when it came out i traded all my games so i could get ghost recon for free with my xbox one cause they didnt allow that game to be given with the xbox.. i know every xbox purchase comes with a game sometimes or not with promotion but they only let you get certain games like assasins creed and other shit.
@@Spacejam69 ghost recon is actually fire
I'm 67 years old and have been playing Wildlands for several years and love it. (It's actually the only game I'm playing right now several times a week). I only play Open World Games and as far as I'm concerned, this game is the best one of them all, and I've pretty much played them all. My second favorite Open World Game is Skyrim, third GTA5. I have already preordered "Starfield", just waiting for its release in 12 days. I also can't wait for GTA6 and Elder Scrolls 6 to be released. I just hope they come out before I die. All that being said, I will continue to play Wildlands forever. I love this game so much. It's a dream of mine that Ubisoft would remaster Wildlands for the new consoles and add a Zombie DLC to it. Wildlands is the perfect game to add Zombies to.
Dude I’ve been playing this for ages and it still blows me away how good everything looks
Looks is the only praise this garbage game gets.

@@jeckek9936 game Wildlands fun game
I will always love Ghost Recon Wildlands. This is the game that let me meet all of my current friends and it introduced me to my current favorite genre of games. After 6 years, it's still the best coop shooter on the market and will most likely hold this title forever.
Cyberpunk dystopia where all people's friends are online and there's no local community.
Both Wildlands and Breakpoint have a special place in my heart. I often go back to those games every now and then.
Breakpoint is a great game. Did it launch well ? No. But the devs worked on it and towards the end it is easily one of the great ones out there.
@@nomustacheguy5249 I was excited for breakpoint, it looks good the intro was cool. Actually playing though? besides looking better, idk. if you took breakpoint graphics and mechanics, slapped them into GRW i think it would be better. A base hidden in a mountain of rebels fighting to free their country from the cartel. idk just could not get into it like GRW. Decent game though.
@@Unsp0kenProphet both have their own mechanics. There are gameplay elements that are just better in breakpoint. Story-wise both are too loony if you ask me. But I will agree Bolivia was beautifully rendered in wildlands
@@nomustacheguy5249 too bad ubisoft just can’t seem to get their priorities right and instead of making a 3rd one where they listen to the fans’ feedback and combine the strengths of Wildlands and Breakpoint, they tried to make ghost recon into a battle royale game.
@@nightwing268 ugh don't remind me. I almost forgot the BR abomination still exists. I was hoping it was one of the 7 cancelled titles that ubisoft announced.
LMAOOO @ 4:34
I just started another play through of this game. It’s in my top 5 for sure. I love games that give you stealth type options, and having the entire map open to move as you see fit is a real treat.
finally someone gets back into it! damn! so many hours poured into such a fun game!
This game feels like where my mind goes when I sleep, the music, the beautiful scenery, good oul tactical pews.. just something great about this game was surprised to see Drew playin it but happy to chill
I’ve still got friends discovering this game and sinking HOURS into it to this day. I wish there was some sort of mods or custom missions
There is first person mod which i cant make it to work. You should try.
On Pc there are some mods up on nexus
Feels embarrassing to admit I found out about this game 2 years ago but since I did, it has easily became my favorite game. Can’t stop playing it. And it’s almost 7 years old that’s crazy
Right? I found it 3 years ago and have ehh, 700 hrs into it or so. I just love GR:WL, i've played it enough to actually notice which guns play the best for me, but all the guns in game work. And I've only just gotten comfortable in Tier mode clearing buildings, after all these hrs (it's also my first shooter). I see why so many people carry the SMG now. But I'll never stop loving my AUG, I put the 3 round burst on it, and set it for max range loud, and Oof. It feels like a laser cannon the way it beams down enemies from a distance. The play feels good, but the scenery brings me back over and over again. What do you like about the game?
Got a gaming PC recently and Wildlands was one of the first games I bought. Playing it at ultra settings and higher frame rates after 30fps on console for so long is absolutely glorious. Extreme, no HUD, with a tasty reshade and the mod which removes the "thunk" hit marker and beeping detection sounds and it's like playing a new version of the game. Still one of my favourites after all these years.
I wish i could experience that. I’m stuck playing the ps5 version of the game
@@hagriddy8is that version bad?
Weird, I haven't played this game in years, yet I think I recognize this spot 2:59 as the nuke mission location. Where you have to hold position [usually on that 8 ball building's rooftop] and then take the truck and drive it into the quarry before it explodes. I knew that whole Wildlands map like the back of my hand, which came in handy for doing the challenges. But they kept using the same building models over and over so maybe I'm wrong. Definity Deja vu for that mission when I saw the fountain and that building across the street though.
I'd turn off all my HUD's for the story missions and then go into multi-player, forgetting to turn them back, on and end up shooting my own team. Fun stuff.
Thanks for the memories.
Wow I still play this game in 2023 all the time but didnt expect it to get coverage anymore, thanks Drewski! Awesome video. Ill see ya in bolivia
just got this game last week havent been able to put it down coming from a lifetime of halo and COD ive never played anything like this in my life and it has changed me as a gamer forever
It is a good on-boarding point for mil-sim gaming. I like the pace of it more though, the stealth aspect makes it top tier. It's like chess with guns, sometimes.
Still actively playing that gem.
I am so grateful, that I bought that game 3 years ago
i used to play this game so much...jump in and do multiplayer and go around the map killing, was super fun
I rly like this sort of video format of just Drewski big chillin late at night playing a good game
I always loved the vehicle damage in this game. Always fun to find some obscure vehicle and have a demo derby with friends
Just restarted the game last week as well, its great.
I'm just at the beginning of the video, so I don't know if you'll do that later on, but there is a button to holster the weapons which I think is great for immersion in situations like that where you're just walking in the town
Holy hell, the getaway after 11 minutes had my heart racing and put a giant smile on my face. Those moments are what makes Wildlands so great
Drewski I'm not even going to lie I literally started tearing up when I saw this this was my favorite series on your entire Channel and I've dreamed of it coming back. I can't believe it's back bro I'm literally jumping up and down excited right now thank you so much please make more of these please
Without any futuristic weapons, this episode came back to old GR roots and gives the same feeling when I had to plan every move. Love this
I am following your TH-cam channel for like three years and watching most of your videos.
I really like them, to come down and chill watching your videos, after work is the treat for the day.
It doesn’t matter to me if it’s Escape from Tarcov, DCS, VR Flight Simulator, Ghost Reacon.👍🏻
Your content and playstyle as well expression and love to gaming are so authentic and I think that’s what make your videos so awesome.
Please keep going🙏🏻 and stay gaming all day and night. ( Although you need some sleep, na just kidding real gamers need no sleep) 😉
GR Wildlands is such an underrated game and after all the updates throughout it's lifetime the game is virtually perfect
Except for the fact that cars have no horn :(
lol no, it's rated where it should be. Great graphics and some solid design mechanics don't accommodate for the fact the pacing is pretty atrocious, the missions are highly repetitive, and the AI isn't very good at all. The game should not have been stretched out to 100 hours because it didn't have 100 hours worth of content like Red Dead 2 did.
Underrated? We know.
Honestly, I would love to see another Wildlands video from you. I watched your others from when you game came out to the dlc quests. They were great 👍
I played it when it came out, I really liked the coop stealth aspect and the visual aspects most, like the feel as well
It has room for changes and improvement, and the vehicles are mostly just ugh (although the helis got un-crapped in a later update)
but it still was pretty nice
This is one of the most immersive games I've played. The only problem is that it was made by Bugisoft, throws you off the immersion from time to time
I'm not sure if Drew's tried the first person mod of GRW but, I would definitely like to see a video on that
Dammit Drewski, I've been trying to talk myself out of starting this one back up for a couple weeks now... Now I fear it's inevitable!
Best game I have ever played. i fell in love with this game within the first five minutes I played it. just last year I finally started playing the pve cause I had only played the pvp. i still play this game and pretty much the only game I play.
I have been playing this game since the closed beta. It's always been incredible.
So when I build my first PC back in 2017, I bought a GTX 1080 GPU and this game came with the card for free. It was the first game I played that was AAA. I was used to Minecraft, CSGO, and League of Legends. This game, in my opinion, was amazing!
Truly ahead of it’s time.
Nowadays, yes games have better mechanics across the board. But the cool tactical things you could do with this game was freaking SICK.
I remember getting ready to capture a base and I would use the synchronized sniping, while also planting C4 everywhere. As well as proximity mines. And in an instant, the base was wiped. It was so awesome.
Breakpoint doesn’t come close for me.
Honestly you just strolling through this town talking about whatever is actually really breathtaking. It reminds of scenes where the squad is just hanging out shootin the shit before going on a mission. Makes me wanna redownload this game
This is 80% off on Steam right now, 29 April 2023. I want to buy it but I am not sure my old laptop could handle the min requirements.
One of the funnest coop experiences I ever had. As a Navy Vet I would drink some beers and play with random vets and other people in general. Definitely was a good time.
Semper Fortis Shipmate!
We have Locotos, Ajis, Uchus, Comeruchus, Ulipica. A lot of spicy plants mate.
Wildlands is so good, makes me feel like playing it again. I’ve got over 400 hrs in it and I treasure how great it was to me.
Drew walking through the town at 2:16 gave me flashbacks to that god damn dirty bomb mission
lmao it's a mfer. The expansion missions are obnoxious.
Haven't played it in a few years. It has its faults but I always thought that it was underrated. Cool that you're playing it again!
Ever since I played the beta where you got to mess around in a few different regions I completely fell in love with this game and I instantly pre ordered it. Haven’t really played a game since then that brought me as much joy and satisfaction as playing this game even beating it completely solo
i got into breakpoint instead of wildlands but after watching a lot of tactical-adjacent content from you and others i feel like i have been playing these games all wrong! gonna look into wildlands now
Future Soldier is still my favorite, played a ton of it with a friend back in the day. Wildlands does come close though and with its open world aspect is arguably better. I just wish there would be a new tactical sim style Ghost Recon with room clearing tactics and all that sweet stuff.
Man, this game being almost 6 years old is insane. I played the beta and enjoyed it just as much as the full release. I still have yet to dip my toes into the dlc though.
Am playing this game right now.
Found it a few weeks ago for a price I liked. The atmosphere in this game is great. It is really fun. I wouldn't be surprised if someone actually from Bolivia would see this and say it is spot on.
Thats what someone said about Montana in Far Cry 5.
Making me nostalgic for Wildlands again! Damnit Drew!
the battles that would randomly take place around the world when Rebels, Unidad and SB came into contact were amazing. They lasted so long and the carnage and burnt out cars on the road after a 20 minute firefight was always immersive.
I love this game . U just made me want to play it again . I think I’m gng to load it back up.
I cannot believe it’s been 6 years. Great game so much fun with friends
Gameplay and overall feel, Wildlands. Looks and environment , Breakpoint. Wildlands is fun while Breakpoint is tactical. Marine buddies and I play Breakpoint together and play Wildlands by ourselves. My kids like fun and I like realism. It feels like a most of the team worked on Wildlands and only the smartest ones worked on Breakpoint. At the end of the day video games were created to be enjoyed.
One of the most underrated open world games made
I have been recently playing this game for about 2 weeks and I absolutely love this game. The open world is massive and there is so much content here and there, it feels so lively and so filled with life. Very well made game
This was my first ever game on the PS4, time really flies
This was fun to watch. I am currently downloading the game and wanted to see some gameplay. Thanks for making it fun - cheers
This brings back memories, how I found your channel actually!
One of my favorite games of all time. I remember me and my buddy got the platinum trophy on PlayStation
That’s how I play, sometimes I sit on the menu screen and blast the music just get into the zone before I start 😂
Totally agree on the immersion thing btw. I just had a son, he's a month old now, i don't even bother booting up my pc now... Had the same when my daughter was born, took about six months until i could play the way i like 😂
I've played this game on the restart three times and I still go back and play it from time to time. BF by EA Games use to give me the same effects and I did always enjoy playing the game. I return back to BF4, BFV, and BF 2042 from time to time, but it's not a real war campaign anymore; It's just a shoot me in the face now, and that's not as fun to play. A lot of console games are now released for PC and there are a lot of games I would spend on to play if they had been on PC.
duude, your editing's so great
Pretty underrated game, looking back. Especially compared to the new one. Was a ton of fun with a full squad taking down the huge bases
I actually found your channel back when this game came out - the beta pvp mode was SO good but then the full release version was garbo
I still play this with my buds on coop no hud . Classic game
Wild lands was a great setting, story and truly groundbreaking on making a truly pleasurable tactical game for not only PC but consoles. If it had the features of breakpoint it be the best game ever
Only Drew could call red-ass chili peppers "jalapenos" 😆
Some of the in-game commentary is surprisingly sharp and, at times, subversive regarding the utility of military interventionist.
it is. i was impressed, even if a lot of the other lines are a bit forced or blunt.
I think what breakpoint lacked was any kind of communication or connection with your squad, because your team in breakpoint does not have convos what so ever which I really missed in it
the opening feels so good 🎵
I just started another replay of Wildlands.. its such a good game.
Bro I Remember When The Beta For This Game Came Out I Was On It Nonstop Goin Around Shootin Shit Up With The Homies🤣
This game surprised the fuck out of me. Really fun and actually insanely hard.
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE how Breakpoint turned out (from an arguably rocky start), but I never felt as immersed in Auroa as I did in Bolivia in Wildlands. The Wildlands world just seemed more 'alive' to me. This video made me reinstall it (waiting on as I comment); hope I'm not disappointed going back ha
was it what you were hoping?
It was such a fun game, long as hell but that was also worth it. Put in hundreds of hours into this game and I don't regret it at all
I remember playing the beta with my friends, and the thing that sold me on the game was the customization. You could make some badass looking operators, and the stuff they added later on was pretty cool. Too bad it was all in the store/loot boxes.
Love wildlands, a very unique atmosphere and a great world to explore. Bolivia had never crossed my mind before, now it's the first country I think of when I think of South America.
still my favourite tactical shooter never get tired of it visually still stands up
This is how I enjoy a Game !! Wildlands I really miss this days.
This is the first GR game I’ve played since like 2003-2004 on PS2. I bought Wildlands a few years back on sale, just the base game, for like 10 bucks on steam. I finally decided to start playing earlier this week. And omg, I’ve been so addicted.
I dont have a job rn and no one is hiring where I live because it’s slow season (I’m in a very rural area with like nothing around), my last 2 jobs let a bunch of people go because they aren’t making enough money to keep us on.
I’ve been really down lately because no one can afford to hire people, been trying to do odd jobs. But this game has been taking my mind off the stress all this week. I already sank 100 hours in. On tier 38 right now. Still have half the bosses to beat. I got so sucked into finding all the weapons and upgrades, which I’m still doing.
I’ve been spending time in Unidad basses getting my patrol level up then hunkering down and seeing how long I can last before I get killed on the hardest difficulty lmao. Flying helicopters is one of my other favorite things to do. I made immersive outfits for all terrains lmao Tbh, a few are inspired by the enemies in in MGS 1&2, the snow one and the Gurlikavich soldiers. One is inspired by HUNK from RE.
This game is great fun. It can be as hard and immersive or as easy and chill as you want it. The driving mechanics could be a lot better, but again, I mainly fly everywhere. And tbh, the only reason I’m doing tiers is for credits for the crates. Not spending money on loot boxes 7 years old lol. I’ll do ghost mode next for the same reason. There’s a lot to do in this game, even just for fun. It really scratches an itch my Autism has been looking for lmao It feels like Division, GTA, Splinter Cell, and a little bit of Syphon Filter all smashed into one.
I still play it on steam, I never got a chance to beat it bc the game is so massive. After I watch this I’m going to go ahead and re install
