I really hope this will turn out more like Strikeback: The Game and less like Generic Millitary Shooter: Bolivia edition. :ohdear:
I hope it doesn't turn into generic Ubisoft-style "roll 4d20 to determine the technical issues the game presents".

Definitely sounds like it's not going to be for everyone, especially if you want a really realistic shooter and a graphical powerhouse, but I'm pretty much on the same page as this guy.

MGS5 meets Far Cry sounds like a good time!

You mean the same NDA police that works for Ubi and gave you the codes for you and your buddy ? You were more than happy to comply on the NDA back then.

I assume whatever happened in the tech tests is still under NDA unless theres an offical page mentioning that you guys can talk about whatever you want.

Nah, Siege for life. Wildlands is not even developed in the same studio.

Also no, goodbye sweet raptor legs.

Literally any youtube personality (Bigfry's probably the most high profile) that said anything negative got their broadcast rights revoked, same as what's happening with Escape From Tarkov. If devs are more interested in punishing critics after they explicitly asked for criticism than they are in actually fixing the issues it's a pretty bad sign.

I haven't really followed the community on this game but imho when it comes to NDA you should either open the flood gate or completely shut down everything. No gray area in order to avoid those kind of situations but what the gently caress do i know about marketing. :shrug:

Oh i registered for beta forever ago. Just saw that their preorders are now including the tagline "Preorder for guaranteed access to beta".

And stoked as i MIGHT be for the game i know better than to preorder games in the year 2017.

Our group was basically sold on the coop in this game. That was their whole E3 with this game too.

I like everything ive seen in that aspect. Single player looks janky with the AI control wheel.

You might just simply get the beta added to your ubi account on the launcher, that is what I had happen with the for honor beta thingy.

I hate uPlay so much. I can't fathom why Ubisoft and EA are in a race to the bottom with their social platforms. Steam is the blueprint for how to do this well - how are you failing to be good at it?

Origin is actually pretty decent these days. It's really good, support is fantastic, responsive, and you'll usually get a 15% coupon or a straight up refund outta it. And they were the first, before steam even, to do refunds in the first place.

Uplay is pretty underwhelming though.

Dancing palm tree.
Surprised to see a gamespot video, of all things, call out flaws in the game. Dialogue is very cringe worthy. Looks average at best overall but the gun customization looks great and I'm a sucker for anything co-op

the collectibles are useful this time, being either new weapons, weapon mods or target intel like media fluff pieces on cartel bigs.

Also, coop was fun and assaulting a large base or enemy-filled shithole town as a two man fireteam rolling full stealth only for poo poo to go south and turn into a Torgue commercial is the tits. AI companions despawned when I cooped with a fellow goon though.

They are both usable, not more or less. Origin can't make overlay work reliably in their own flagship products, and loads up enough CPU that closing the Origin window is the only thing I can do on my computer to make Battlefield 1 playable.

When you're in a town like this all covered with smoke, you forget that there's a world outside. Nothing amazing happens here. And you get used to that, used to a world where everything is ordinary. Every day we spend here is like a whole lifetime of dying slowly.

I think you need to go through ubisoft's site: http://ghost-recon.ubisoft.com/wildlands/en-GB/beta-redeem/index.aspx . You'll get the option to select your platform there.
