There are a few glitches, i am sure they will be worked out eventually but overall its exactly what I expected. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful. some innovative game play. While it does have some nice game features with the drone and synchro shot as well as some of the other perks that can be built out by each gamer's personal preferences, the game play itself is very much like f ar c ry four, with mission selection and regions as well as the 'random' supply the rebels missions and stop the convoy missions. Clearing an enemy outpost or base by stealth or brute force is fun but go over the hill and come back and it is repopulated with enemies all over again. Depending on your game play/interest that can be a boon or a bane. While there is some flexibility in story mission progression and how you go about taking down the head bad guys it isn't free form and some linear patterns are readily evident. 2 out of 3 people found this helpful. Don't recommend, get rid of that virus Ubisoft. Bought the Deluxe Edition. Single player works fine, but it won't let me play online. It wants me to install Ubisoft and sign up for an account. When I did that, it wouldn't connect to Ubisoft, kept signing me out of my profile, kicked me out of the game, wanted my Microsoft account password, it acted like a virus. VERY DISAPPOINTED! Love this game. Cant stop playing it. Translate to English. Язык Microsoft Store: United States - English. Вас интересует язык Microsoft Store: Россия - Русский? Перевести на русский.

Many of gaming’s most compelling stories come from those who’ve helped to create our favorite Xbox One games. In our Inside Xbox One X Enhanced series, these creators will share the behind-the-scenes accounts of the work involved in enhancing these epic games for Xbox One X, how they’ve helped chart the course of the world’s most powerful console, and what that means for the future of gaming. Today, we’ll be chatting with Ubisoft’s Vincent Delassus, Art Director on the open-world action game Ghost Recon Wildlands . What specifically is your development team doing to enhance Ghost Recon Wildlands for Xbox One X? We are very excited by the work done by the team to enhance Ghost Recon Wildlands for Xbox One X. The game will feature improved draw distances, better terrain representation through improved tessellation, as well as a beautiful higher resolution and full HDR support. How do these enhancements impact the gaming experience? Players will feel like Bolivia has never been more realistic. The improved terrain tessellation provides new levels of immersion, while the improved draw distance will allow players to admire even better vistas in the massive open world of the game. Why did your development team choose to focus on these enhancement areas? We are very proud of the technical achievement we reached with Ghost Recon Wildlands on the Xbox One X: being able to evolve in a massive and dangerous open world, with amazing vistas and incredible ranges of engagement allows players to truly express themselves. Sniper, assault, stealth, recon: all playstyles are welcome (and encouraged!) How do you expect fans of Ghost Recon Wildlands will respond to seeing/playing it on Xbox One X with these enhancements? We hope fans will enjoy discovering a Bolivia that is as beautiful as it has ever been, and that new people will join our amazing community, both through the main campaign of the game and through our new PVP mode, Ghost War. How has the process been to get the game up and running on Xbox One X? Working on the Xbox One X allowed us to improve several key aspects of the visuals of the game, and it was an exciting prospect from the get-go. Working with Microsoft ensured that we were able to make the most of this new power at our disposal. What enhancement were you most excited about to explore leveraging for Ghost Recon Wildlands on Xbox One X? The enhanced draw distance and improved resolution truly bring the immersion of the player in our open world to the next level. What does 4K and HDR mean for your game, games in the future and development at your studio? Ghost Recon Wildlands features a massive open world in which you can experience beautiful vistas, dynamic lighting, a day and night cycle and a full weather system. Being able to showcase the incredible lights of the sun peeking through the clouds in HDR and high resolution is a great experience that we hope our fans will enjoy! Thanks to Vincent for taking the time to chat with us about Xbox One X Enhanced. We’ll be bringing you more interviews with more developers in the future, so stay tuned to Xbox Wire! Ghost Recon: Wildlands Is Now Free To Try On PS4 And Xbox One. A five hour trial of Ghost Recon: Wildlands is now available on PSN and Xbox Live. Last updated by Oscar Dayus on August 4, 2017 at 3:23AM. Please enter your date of birth to view this video. By clicking 'enter', you agree to GameSpot's. You are now subscribed. Ubisoft's popular open-world shooter Ghost Recon: Wildlands now has a free trial on PS4 and Xbox One. The demo allows you to play up to five hours of the game--so if you were on the fence about buying, now might be the time to dive in and give it a go. The trial is available worldwide for free on consoles, though it seems PC players will not get a similar demo--no trial can currently be found on Steam or Uplay. The news comes just a fortnight after Ubisoft announced a PvP open beta for Wildlands. The game launched without any form of player-versus-player mode in March, but the new competitive multiplayer suite is coming at some point soon with a free beta "later in the summer." There has been a great deal of post-launch support for the game, with multiple DLC expansions and free updates, including a recent one that added a new difficulty mode, Tier 1. We also learned last month that Wildlands was the best-selling game through the first half of 2017 around much of the world. We enjoyed Wildlands when it launched earlier this year, though it did have its problems. "As only the second open-world game in the Clancyverse," wrote critic Miguel Concepcion, "Ghost Recon: Wildlands is a middlingly safe tactical shooter and a slightly wasted opportunity given the ambitious scope of its seemingly boundless map. While its main strength is its mission diversity, it doesn't take long to lose the motivation after reaching El Sueno's doorstep. Even with a foursome of highly trained friends, Wildlands eventually reveals its diminishing returns. The feeling of positive immediacy and dopamine hits begin to wane sooner than you expected from a game with such a large and diverse world." Read more in our full Ghost Recon: Wildlands review.

I remember how awesome the first trailer was. but then when they showed gameplay I was so stunned and disappointed!! The more gameplay videos I would seen the worst the game looked!! It looked nothing like a "Ghost Recon" game and I swore not to touch it. Then the open Beta came out and I was like let me give it a try without any good expectations. I was blown away. The game is just AWESOME. My Xbox One friends didn't want to try it but when they did they fell in love!! The game isn't like the traditional Ghost Recon style and it does have "a bit" of a Division look but its nothing like the Division (thats a good thing) you can kill an enemy with one headshot haha. It has some of the Ghost Recon things like sync shot, drones and other things that will remind you this is Ghost Recon. In the beta there were some bugs that needs to be ironed out but I'm sure they'll fix it by the time its out or in time. Don't go into this thinking you want to see and play a traditional Ghost game or you might just not like it no matter how good it is. this feels like a different type of animal with the soul of a Ghost Recon game if that makes any sense :) I would recommend this to a friend. Please try again later. An Aye Okay Game. Ghost Recon has always been a game series I've tried to stick with. Ubisoft has changed it up quite a bit since Advanced War-fighter, the pull of Wildlands is its co-op, and beautiful open-world. The game play is a wee too easy, especially if you favor stealth over all else. The NPC's themselves are rather dumb. The amount of ways Ubisoft offers you to complete a mission is nice and refreshing. (I've experienced the game through the Beta and yes, I can't judge an unfinished product but Ubisoft isn't the greatest at fixing issues with their games, hence, Assassin's Creed Unity) The verdict: this is a good game at best, nothing revolutionary or innovative or great about it, but is a fun way to kill time with a couple of friends. I would recommend this to a friend. Please try again later. Gameplay is similar to that of "the Division" you can definitely tell it is a Tom Clancy game. I would recommend this to a friend.

Do not buy the season pass though! This game is riddled with microtransactions that are way overpriced, most of which should've been included as season pass content. It only includes 2 expansions that "promise" new content. Narco Road just released and it is undoubtedly the worst excuse of a dlc. It's repurposed content, not new, that doesn't fit all with the tone of the game and it does not work very well either. Read reviews online and you'll see for yourself. If this is what the first expansion is like then it doesn't bode well for the second expansion. You're not missing anything by not buying it. 105 out of 119 people found this helpful. Great game, but gold doesnt seem to be! So far i love the gameplay but when the day came for the release of wildlands i was dumbfounded by the store telling me i have purchased the standard edition qhen i clearly bought the gold, then it goes a tad further. the only dlc it downloaded was the ridiculous mini van and the ghost rebellion pack. The season pass and the other dlc is not downloaded. I hope this gets fixed because im sure im not the only one this has happened to according to all the blogs and forums ive been reading. Oh and microsoft did not help when i addressed the issue! 112 out of 133 people found this helpful. Didn't unlock any of the season pass weapon content. Unfortunately myself and others are missing out on season pass content because the game doesn't recognize it. 19 out of 23 people found this helpful. Season Pass Cost Not Justified. Narco Road's quality does not justify the cost of the Season Pass. The other add ons are cool, but so far are not justified by the extra cost. If I did not have the season pass, I would hold off on getting Fallen Ghosts until reviews came in, based on Narco Road's showing. I will be much more cautious about buying Ubisoft season passes going forward. 18 out of 19 people found this helpful. xx JonnyMo79 xx. Frustrated. Preordered the gold edition and I had to manually install all the add ons which should be included. The season pass still shows it's available for 39.99. The gold edition still shows available for 99.99. The standard edition shows as owned. Everyone I know that preordered got a infinite 5% xp booster. not me. I've uninstalled the game and redownloaded it twice. Still no booster. It's like I don't have the season pass. Which I should!! 😠 98 out of 123 people found this helpful. NARCO ROAD SUCKS. Bought the season pass for early access to narco road. I love the original game, however the first expansion is terrible. Its nothing but stunts and terrible so called missions. It reminds me of a knock off saints row. WASTE OF $40. 46 out of 57 people found this helpful. Season Pass Missing Content. As the title says the season pass is missing items that were reported to be with it and apparently they're not coming out until July as what the support person told me. 86 out of 108 people found this helpful. Beta gameplay looks beautiful. love the open world aspect customizable weapons is a plus, the only negative i have seen so far are the ground vehicle mechanics. 37 out of 45 people found this helpful. Criminal Waste of Money. Season Pass' first installment if DLC is Narco Road and there hasnt been any more complete of a waste of time and energy as this. Insulting to any Ghost Recon fan. If you like Ghost Recon then Do Not Buy season pass because you will then be forced to swallow Narco Road. Send a message and boycott this utter garbage. 22 out of 25 people found this helpful. a Chron1K C0ugh. not what you expect. everything given is useless or worse, unnoticeable. the 2 dlc packs (what you are really paying for) are single player &/or cant be shared. Which is surprising because watchdogs 2 season pass/dlc is shareable. I bought Ghost Recon G.E day one for the stealth gameplay & what was to come but then i tried watchdogs 2 (thanks to the free trial) and immediately regretted my purchase because Ghost Recon's stealth gameplay was dull in comparison to a mediocre game like Watchdogs. i wont even start comparing the open world design or available. missions (i.e. NO DRONE obstacle courses in ghost recon! real big missed opportunity). if ya made it this far, thank you for your time and have a good day ^_^ 13 out of 14 people found this helpful.

After 42 hours, 1,415 enemies, and 17,644 bullets, I have completed Ghost Recon: Wildlands’ campaign and hit the level cap. I also crashed some helicopters, which may or may not have led to the accidental deaths of my fellow IGN teammates. That’s classified. Wildlands’ map is, outside of MMOs, the largest I’ve seen in a game in a long time. If you played the beta (6.8 million of you did), you were restricted to only one province; the final game includes more than 20 provinces, some smaller, some larger, all packed with things to do. Each area includes at least one Santa Blanca Cartel boss, hidden weapons and attachments, enemies to interrogate, fast-travel locations, skill points and resources, commendation medals, bases to raid, and more. If you want a game that’ll keep you busy for a while, Wildlands absolutely has your back. Biomes aren’t just eye candy; they have a major impact on how you play. No matter which part of the map you explore, Ubisoft’s in-game version of the South American country of Bolivia looks great. From the get-go, you’re free to roam the entire map, which includes jungles, mountains, deserts, salt flats, lakes, swamps, quarries, and caves. These biomes aren’t just eye candy; they have a major impact on how you play. Areas thick with foliage are perfect for hit-and-run guerrilla warfare. Deserts have little or no cover, so fighting from range works well and having an escape vehicle ready is imperative. In the mountains, with a bit of leg work, you can usually hike to the high ground and assault your enemies from above. Wildlands leaves the strategy up to you, and because vehicles and fast travel points are so plentiful, the wide-open Bolivian landscape feels like a land of opportunity, not a burden. Speaking of vehicles, yes, the chatter is true: many of them don’t control well. Even on a bone-dry dirt road, some cars and jeeps feel like they’re skidding around on slick ice. After 15 or so hours I was able to pilot anything without much trouble, but it took far too long to nail Wildlands’ “feel.” Choppers, in particular, take a while to break in: once you’re cruising, you’re good, but building up to that speed requires a weird dance of tipping the nose up and down and easing up on the throttle. And, because the map is so large, you’re forced to spend a ton of time in vehicles to get to locations between fast-travel points. Also, it’s very common for high-priority targets to jump into a vehicle and flee, and if they get too far away you’ll often lose them and fail. These situations take an already uneven driving and piloting system and push it to its frustrating breaking point. Wildlands’ main issue, however, is poor mission variety. For the first five or so provinces everything felt exciting. The next 15? Not so much. Until I switched to playing co-op, it descended deeper and deeper into repetition. Flamethrower Guy, RPG Guy, and Guy With The Big Shield don’t make an appearance. The cycle begins with a boss hunt. Each province has a boss, and to learn that boss’ identity and draw him/her/them out from hiding you need to complete four to six missions. That’s not a major ask, but the missions are usually a rote combination of the following: blow up an inanimate object (cocaine cache, equipment), extract and interrogate a high-value target (an assistant, a family member), steal or photograph something (a car, documents), or just kill some stuff. It doesn’t help that enemy variety that stands between you and your objectives is almost non-existent. There are standard enemies, heavily-armored enemies, and snipers – that’s about it. Even common video game mainstays like The Flamethrower Guy, The RPG Guy, and The Guy With The Big Shield don’t make an appearance. Sometimes you’ll face other obstacles, like an enemy chopper or a jammer that keeps you from using your drone. They definitely crank up the intensity, but you’ll quickly learn how to deal with them, too. Even the variety that comes from the diverse locations isn’t enough to mix it up. These issues might have doomed Wildlands if not for its highly satisfying sandbox antics. When you’re a kid and you only have four action figures, what do you do with them? You fire up your imagination, go outside, and make your own ridiculous fun. The same goes for Wildlands. Yes, you may be on your umpteenth extraction mission. but this time, what if you throw your target in the trunk of a car instead of lifting him out by helicopter? That seems like a good idea, but before you can get into the driver’s seat an enemy truck rams that car down a hill. Now you’re running downhill to check on your VIP passenger, all while shouting at your friends to find a new escape vehicle. In the distance, you hear mortar fire. A second chopper is closing in. Then, maybe next time you’re on an extraction mission enemies may take out your escape vehicle and you’ll have to run through the woods at night, holding your target by the neck and taking out pursuing enemies with only a pistol. Just when you think you’re home free, you’ll get spotted. The chase continues. Yes, the missions are too similar in design. You’ll undoubtedly feel the deja vu. But most of the time things don’t go the way you’d planned. The madness that ensues is what saves Wildlands, and what compelled me to keep playing well past the hours a human being should normally be awake. These are the moments I talk about when people ask me how I’m liking it. Some of those moments are made memorable by the boss characters. Wildlands’ standard enemies may not be special, but it does a fine job of turning cartel bosses into more than just targets. None of them will join the pantheon of great video game villains, but in games like this, it’s often the case for underlings to simply feel like rungs on a ladder, something you just step on in order to move up. Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor got around this issue by imbuing its minibosses with personality, and so does Wildlands. These characters are outlandish, unnerving, and pulpy. Remember when Walt and Jesse dissolved bodies in barrels of acid in Breaking Bad? One of the cartel bosses does that too, but he also has a beloved stuffed animal and the mental capacity of a child. Another boss duo of former doctors plays weird sex games while they torture and interrogate the cartel’s enemies. It’s decidedly silly, and often more than a little bit on the nose, but they left a mark on me nonetheless. © 1996-2018 Ziff Davis, LLC.
